CHICKAMAUGA NATIONAL PARK, Ca,
May S1.-Much to the disappointment OF a
number of volunteer regiments here. who
think they are ready to go to the front. no
orders were received for the movement OF
any mi additional TO those mentioned
yesterday.
The Southern and the Western & Atlantic
railroads were instructed today to move four
regiments-two each-tomorrow morning.
In accordance with this order, the following
regiments have been designated to move
tomorrow. First, District of Columbia, One
Hundredth and Fifty-seventh Indiana,
Seventh New York and the First Ohio in
fantry. The Fifth Maryland. Sixty-ninth
New York, Third Pennsylvania and Third
Illinois will leave Thursday morning.
Orders have been issued and are expected
tomorrow from Washington that all regi-
ments OF volunteers must be recruited to the
full strength of 1907 officers and men, and
recruiting officers are to be detailed at once
to secure these recruits. These recruits will
absorb nearly 10000 of the presidents Sec
ond call for volunteers.
Inspector General Breckenridge this morn
ing reviewed the Third division OF the First
corps and the afternoon was devoted to regi-
mental and brigade inspection of the same
division. The division presented at review n
more satisfactory appearance than either
the First or Second, inasmuch as the regi-
ments in the Third division have been more
generally equipped and uniformed than the
others.
A single. line was formed, extending for
nearly a mile, just southeast of the Kelley
field. The columns were then formed by
tours, then followed quickly regimental
platoons in line by companies, the division
advancing thus, 5000 men with flags fly
ing and bands playing, to the reviewing
stand. 1t was a sight that warmed up the
martial spirit of old warriors who witnessed
1t and one officer, in the enthusiasm of the
moment, said that mo nation on earth
could make such a showing on thirty days

As the report OF the last gun rever-
berated in the hills, a bugle sounded
and the national ensign OF Hawaii

PEACE COMMISSIONERS
Will Probably Be the Guests of the French
Government During Their Session.


Washington, August Pm view of
the carly meeting at Paris of the Span
ish-American peace commissioners, ar
engagements are already under way for
the entertainment of this distin gushed
body. 1t is said that the commission
will be the guests of the French gov
eminent, and while no formal invita-
tion has yet been extended there is
reason to believe one will come in due
time. and that the commissioners will
receive every courtesy and attention
which the French government can be-
stow. The meetings of the commits
sion will be held at the French foreign
office, in the sumptuous and historic
Salon Des Ambassadors. 1t was there
that the famous congress of Paris met
in 1855. The salon is probably the
most elegant official apartment in all
Europe, being hung with gobelin tapes
tries and decorated with Ia ish frescoes
and works of art Near the salon are
private chambers suitable for commits
sioners and for the meetings of the
commissioners of the respective gov
ernments.
The several commissioners will
choose their own private quarters, al
though Secretary Day may be the guest
Of the United States embassy. The
President hopes to be able to announce
the names of the commissioners on the
part Of the United States this week.

Non the breaking up of General
Wheeler's camp, ON the Caney road,
Friday, the tents and the general
equipments of general headquarters
were left in charge of the quartermas-
ter's department During the night
the Cubans stealthily confscated all
the tents, stores, arms and personal
effects Of the soldiers. There is no
clue to the robbers. On Saturday
General Lawton ordered the ammuni-
ton and arms TO be brought into
town, but it was too late. Everything
was gone.
General Kent's brigade, stationed
three miles from Santiago, also lost
their tents. and the soldiers marched
into town barefooted, their shoes and
everything portable having been sto-
len.
The Cubans equipped themselves
with the arms, tents and provisions
of the Americans. They are con-
stantly stalking about the camps and
constant vigilance is necessary.

DEWEY'S SWORD.
Design of the Weapon Selected will
Be Made by Tiffany & Co., New
York.

Washington, August 22.-The de-
sign for the memorial sword the gov
ernment is to present to Rear Admir-
al Dewey, according to act OF Con
gress, was finally determined upon
today by the committee having the
subject in charge, consisting Of Act
ing Secretary Allen, Senator Lodge
of Massachusetts, and Prof. Oliver, of
the United States Naval Academy. A
great many designs have been sub
mitted, some of them showing much
artistic beauty. The one selected was
submitted by Tiffany q Co., of New
York. The design is less ornate
than some others. Its marked
characteristic is its simple and solid
elegance. The hilt of the sword, as
originally submitted, showed an Gag
les head, but this was changed to a
plain and solid, but highly traced
gold handle The blade is 'Damas-
Gus" being subjected to that process
by which the famous Damascus blades
were made. One side of the blade
bears the inscription.

being run through by this Dewey
sword. The committee rejected this
suggestive feature and instead of the
pierced crown there is substituted
two dolphins.
