gence Of the honor which had been con-
ierred upon him.
The General had of course, expected
an appointment as major-general, and
when he left Washington it was with the
assurance that his nomination would be
sent in to-day. Hence General Corbin's
telegram was not a surprise. 1t was,
however. none the less gratifying.
TO RETURN TO WASHINGTON.
General Lee came to Richmond Sunday
afternoon. having been in Washington
since last Friday. lie will probably re-
turn 10 Washington Immediately after
bis confirmation, which cannot occur I'M

in session to-day. lie will report 10 Sec
retary-of-War Alger and prepare to take
charge of his command when assigned to
him. He Will. it is presumed be placed
in charge of the volunteers.

Corbin told him that Richmond had not

Of mobilization for troops from other
States. The Adjutant-General was now

General Lee went TO the national capt.

posed that upon his recovery Lieutenant
Croxton will report to the department,
and will relieve Lieutenant Price.
Lieutenant Price has been stationed at
the institute since September l, 1895. He
is married and has one child. He is
regarded as a fine officer and is one of
the most popular commandants ever de-
tailed to serve at the Virginia Military
Institute.
INSPECTING LOCATIONS.
Lieutenant Shanks the muster-in Off
Ger here, who arrived Saturday has been
busily engaged inspecting the proposed
sites OF the mobilization camp at the
Exposition Grounds and at Forest Hill
Park. He thinks the location of either

Work will probably begin in Al few
days preparing the Exposition-Grounds
for the reception of the Virginia troops
This cannot be pushed. however, until
the arrival OF Lieutenant Price. who
is expected TO report for duty to-day.
1t seems practically certain now that
at least a portion Of the troops brought
from other States to this city will be
cncamped ut Forest Hill Park. 1t is not
probable however that any portion of
the State troops will be encamped there,
hut that they will all be sent TO the
observation-disclosures. which has been
ChriStened camp Lee.
Camp Dewey is the name which has
been proposed for the camp to be estab-
lished at Forest Hil and it is probable
that this designation will be chosen, and
that the Virginia camp will bear the
name of the plucky Vermont sailor.

that General Miles had just asked him

Cuban Cavalry Regiment.

TAMPA, FLA, May 1.-Two hundred
! Cubans, who have been quietly enlisted
| in New York city by General Julio San
gully, arrived in Tampa tonight. They
will be formed into cavalry regiment,
and under the leadership of the famous
Cuban who enlisted them, will probably
embark for Cuba with the American
troops. The rest of the regiment will be
made up of Cubans from Tampa and the
vicinity. For the enlistment forty-twO
recruiting offices were opened here to-
day. The New Workers created a sem
sation as they marched down the street
in a body, and they were followed for
blocks by a perfect mob Of excited Gu
bans.
Slowly but surely are arrangements be-
ing made for the landing of an American
force in Cuba. The Plant system to-day
gave formal notice to the government
that its steamers Olivette and Florida,
both of which are in port here, were at
the disposal Of the government for use
as troop ships The Mascotte, of the
same line viii be turned over tomorrow.
FLEET OF TRANSPORTS.
By Friday the following feet Of vessels
is expected to be in waiting at the
wharves at Tampa for the reception OF
the United States troops: The Florida,
Olivette, and Mascotte, of the Plant Line;
the Alamo and Comal, of the Mallory
Line, the Comal being already anchored
in the stream here; the Arkansas. and
probably the Lampasas, of the Morgan
Line, and the Allegheny and Berkshire,
of the Merchants and Miners Line.
These boats have all been contracted
for and have a carrying capacity for
$3.50 troops. 1t is not believed, however
Ia ri a ui1 a 10
place before Sunday, at the latest, as
much remains In the way of gathering
ammunition and supplies, and several
DAYS must elapse before all is in readi-
ness.
THE INVADING FORCE.
II is believed that the force will be
made up of 5000 infantry 1000 cavalry,
and ten batteries of artillery-in all. close
to 5000 men. Only one regiment of caval-
ry. the Ninth. Is now in camp at Tampa.
but the Tenth, now at Chickamauga,
will. IL Is believed be brought down here
TO fill out the quota.
The fortifications at Egmont and Mullet
Keys commanding the north and south
channels of Tampa Bay, and on which
work has been rapidly pushed, are now
practically complete and ready for the
mounting of the guns. Most OF these, 1t
is said. will be of s-inch calibre, and such
others as may be at hand will be taken,
the emergency not permitting the delay
which would be unavoidable IL heavy
guns were to be mounted.
Bids for the purchase of about 100000
worth of coal for the use of the govern
ment were opened to-day. No announce
ment of the successful bidder Will be
made pending report to Washington
This coal will be brought into Tampa as
fast as possible.

Now They Pay the Bridesmaids.

For some time it has been the
habit at New York weddings to
pay the bridesmaids with jingling
coin. craftsmanship" in this
way becomes a business. At one
wedding there were no less than fif-
teen bridesmaids, who were all
punctually paid. Besides the beauti-
full toilets, given by the BRIDES
father, they each received $50 for
appearing in the wedding train.
There are young ladies who accept
as much as $Ioo for their "office of
honor"
One woman who is much sought
after for her beauty, has appeared
as bridesmaid at more than two
hundred weddings, and has in a
short time amassed quite little for
tune, besides many costly presents
she received.

vicious exploiting of state supply con-
tracts for The purposes OF the machine.
He would lead the soldiers orphans

wrong there would be corrected.
NO NATIONAL GUARD SCANDALS.
His adjutant general, taking his
place ex-officio as a member of the
state military board, could exert some
power toward putting an end to the
National Guard scandals, and regulat-
Ing the use Of the Guard in times of
strike. 30 that 1t should be much less
than heretofore like an instrumentality
provided by the state to aid selfish cor
porations in keeping wages down to
the lowest limit. His secretary of the
commonwealth would he chairman of
the sinking fund commission and a
member of the board of revenue COM
missioners, and there would be some
chance Of getting at the books of the
treasury.
"The mine and factory inspection de-
partments would be wholly divorced
from politics. The voice of the work.
ingmen, for whose especial benefit and
protection these departments were cre-
ated. would be far more potent in the
selection of men to head them. The
laws on these subjects would be exc
cuted with greater care and more i'm
partially and humanely. The board of
charities would be so looked after that
the officers and employees and state in
stitutions and others receiving aid from
the state would not have to play
servitors to the machine in order to
secure proper appropriations.
GOVERNOR COULD EFFECT MUCH.
"There is law enough, II honestly and
diligently administered, to authorize
a very effective cleaning day on Cap
itol Hill, and Messrs. jerks, Sowden
and DeLacy would take their brooms
in hand promptly and sweep thorough
ly. A very large part Of the wrong
done In the legislature is prompted by
machine state employees, and those Of
fcials would be replaced under Gov
ernor jerks by men pledged to reform,
and devotion to the interests Of the
people and the good name of the state.
We want both Democratic legislature
and Democratic state officials, but if
we can have only one of these boons
the latter Is plainly calculated to mete
out to US the largest share Of relief"
