CAMP MONTGOMERY,

Santa Rosa, July II.
With the sun shining brightly, the green
hills for a background and overhead a
cloudless blue sky, Camp Montgomery
presented beautiful martial scene at
reveille this morning. The Stars and
Stripes were slowly raised while the
League of the Cross Cadets stood and
respectfully saluted. Shortly afterward
the boys were marched to their mess
tables and partook of their first breakfast
in camp. Guard mount followed at .
o'clock. The quarters were inspected by
Colonel Sullivan, accompanied by the off,
Ger of the day, Captain James Power of
Company H.
AT II o'clock assembly was sounded and,
headed by Colonel Sullivan. the entire
regiment marched to the pavilion adjoin-
ing the grounds, where military mass was
celebrated by the Rev. Father Dempsey.
The ceremony was solemn and impressive
and was attended by a large number OF
Santa Rosa residents. At the close of the
reading of the gospel of the day Fathe,
Dempsey addressed few remarks to the
cadets, reminding them that they were
soldiers of Christ and hoping that they
would be at all times during the encamp-
ment gentlemanly in their department.
After mass luncheon was served to the
boys and for the rest Of the afternoon
they were at liberty to go whittier they
pleased.
This morning found twenty-eight of the
cadets in the guardhouSe. Some of them
attempted to run the guard lines, while
others decided not to hide their talents
under bushel. and after taps annoyed

selves to sleep, with vocallStic efforts, I'M

MADRID, July II. - Some of the
newspapers here have gone wild over
the spy question. They see spies every
where and in everybody. They also do
all they can to stir up the people
against any one they choose to regard
in this light. Only day or two ago
Ell Pals had an article headed "Spes
and Traitors" 1t was aimed at a di-
rector of the New York Life Insurance
Company. So far as it was possible to
gather from the article this gentle
mans principal crime was that he had
been seen in conversation with me in
Pozuelo and often conversing with Mr..
Stanhope, correspondent of the New
York Herald, who has his summer res
idence in Pozuelo. Ell Pals, which is
nothing if not lingo, ENORMOUSLY ad-
tails about spies and traitors whom the
Government allows to continue their
work with the greatest impunity and in
"open daylight" 1t points out that it
has already called the attention Of the
Government to the maneuvers of Mr..
Reed, q director of the New York Life
Insurance Company, who, 1t adds, is,
from all indications, in the confidence
of the Yankee administration. This
paper then accuses Mr.. Reed of having
conferences" with Hannis Taylor and
General Woodford.
AS this was in the ante-bellum days,
it is hard to see what is the gravity of
the accusation, as many good loyal
