THE OREGON Sails
AT CHICKAMAUGA,
Nearly $4,000 Troops Now at the
Park

CHICKAMAUGA NATIONAL PARK
(Ga.), May 25.-The sham battle at
Chickamauga Park this morning, in
which three brigades of General Will
sons First Army Corps participated,
was one of the most thrilling spectacles
that has been witnessed since the civil
war. After seven hours of almost con-
tinuOus maneuvering, in which was ex-
emplifed almost every phase of mill
tary tactics, General A. S. Burt, COM
mandins the First Brigade, was out
classed by the Second and Third Bri-
gades, which were pitted against him.
By actual count the number of men
now in Chickamauga Park is 49, ,SS4.
There are thirty-five regiments of in
fantry, two of cavalry and three batter
les of artillery. Ohio has furnished
the greatest number of men. She has
six regiments. Pennsylvania, which
ranks next, also has six regiments, but
a slightly smaller number of men.
AS far as equipment is concerned,
the army will be ready to move on
Cuba within one or two days Captain

army, states that he has received no.

ment will come as fast as the roads can

COMMITTED SUICIDE.
Naval Opinions Of the Spanish
Fleet Going Into Santiago.

KEY WEST, May -. III a. M
There is nothing definitely known about
the possible operations in Eastern Gu
ba, but the view is accepted at this
place as a fact that the Spanish fleet
is blockaded in Santiago harbor, in
which event the naval opinion here is
that the Spanish fleet has committed
suicide"
1t is now no breach of confidence to
say that Commodore Schley and Rear
Admiral Sampson are believed to have
Admiral Cervera within their reach,
and if the Spaniards are in Santiago
harbor they can be blockaded and
starved out A single heavy American
vessel can hold the harbor's narrow
exit, through which the Spaniards could
emerge only singly. The Spanish fleet
is very fast, but is not composed of
heavily armored vessels. Indeed, any
of Admiral Simpsons battleships could,
in the opinion of naval experts, engage
the entire Spanish fleet, with a good
chance of coming off victorious. The
American commander has been not only
prepared for battle, but for the chase
as we'll This is the view here, where
the movements of the American fleet
are pFO8llndlely well huONu dIIlOllS Id

confidence in the skill and energy of
both American commanders. and it is
believed their triumph in the West In

A courier direct from Brigadier-Gen-
eral Rafael de Cardenas, commander OF
the insurgent forces in Havana Prov
ince, has arrived here. He reports that
there has been no difficulty in main
tanning communication between the
coast and the interior. General Car
denas has been enrolling men at the
rate of twenty per day, most of them
coming from Havana City. The in
surgent forces in that province now
number 5000, better mounted and arm
ed than ever before. They move up al
most to the outskirts of the city.

Secretary of State.
Secretary Alger said this afternoon
that the additional recruits will not be
recruited from the National Guard, as
were the first 125,000 but that the en-
listments will be open. The regula-
tions referred to in the proclamation
under which the enlistments will be
conducted have not yet been prepared,
and it is thought that there is nd occa-
sion for hurry in this matter until the
full draft called for in the first proc
lamatiOn has been secured 1t is fur
| ther stated that the decision to issue
an additional call for volunteers was
not reached until the Cabinet meeting
yesterday afternoon. The call, it is sup
posed here, indicates a determination to
press the campaign actively and vigor-

Would be Bad Policy to Attempt to
Garry Santiago by Storm.

WASHINGTON, May 25-The Navy
Department officials, accepting the
view that Cervera is in Santiago har-
Dor. are of the opinion that he is likely
to remain there for a long time weeks
and months perhaps A study of the
defenses of the harbor and topograph-
ical features has convinced the experts
that to undertake to carry the place
by storm from the sea and to attack
the fleet while it is under the protec-
ton of the forts would involve so great
a loss of life on our part as to be en-
tirely unwarranted under the existing
circumstances. The harbor is known to
be mined, and these mines are so well
protected by judiciously placed shore
batteries that the usual methods of
countermining could be practiced only
with the utmost peril to the sailors of
our fleet

throw projectiles with any effect

elevated bluff or hill. That is the les

WASHINGTON, May 25.-The event
of the day in the war situation was the
issuance of a proclamation by the
President calling for $4,000 more vOlun-
teers. 1t added a new and stirring
phase to the Iethargic conditions which
have prevailed of late and came with
almost startling unexpectedness, even
to many of the high officials.
The proclamation means not only the
assembling of a large force of troops,
but also the appointment of a number
of Major Generals, Brigadier- Generals,
Colonels. Majors, staff and field officers,
for the organization of this additional
force of 10000 men into army corps,
divisions, brigades and regiments.
The reasons leading up to the call
naturally We're sources of much con-
lecture, as it was at first felt that the
possibility Of foreign complications was
a factor in bringing about this new
move. 1t speedily developed. however,
that the call was not due to any latent
or serious emergency, but was rather
in the line of getting together large
body of men, to be drilled and season
ed, and to constitute a second reserve
to be drawn upon later when the cam
paigns were fully under way.
Secretary Alger stated that the de-
termination to issue the call had not
been reached until late yesterday. The
Of al
or less for some weeks, but it was not
until few hours before the call itself
appeared that the move was finally
decided upon.

Department had made no preparations
for executing the call, and it will be

ed out as to the quotas from each State

States. the mastering points and the
general points of concentration. All
that is settled thus far is that the en-

cations of the several States. 1t will

and regimental officers, while only the
