VERMONT BOYS IN CAMP.
Regiment Mobilizes at Permanent
Camp Grounds.

The twelve companies comprising
the First Regiment, Vermont volun-
teers. assembled at the permanent
camping grounds, near Fort Ethan AL
len. last week. Several special trains
brought the companies from different
directions. Each company got a rous-
| ING send-off from its home. Thou
sands assembled to cheer them off,
Bands OF music. uniformed societies
and q. A. X. posts took prominent
part in each town.
Arrived in camp the stern soldiers
life began at once. The luxuries of the
annual muster were not in evidence at
all. Instead of a nice mess tent at
procured, the food is cooked Tor
warmed) in trench dug in the
ground. The plainest articles of diet
are furnished. The greatest discom-
fort has been caused by shortage in
blankets. There are only go to COM
pany and some have been obliged to
90 without. The weather has been
cold and disagreeable. The boys
pluck is good, however, and they look
on the bright side of things.
The chief interest thus far has been
in the physical examinations conduct
ed by the government surgeons.
These are very different from those
undergone before the militia exami-
ners. They have wrought havoc with
most of the companies. There is set
rule OF weights based on heights and ii
the recruit doesn't weigh in he is
dropped withoutmore ado. Many are
rejected for other causes. The cap
'tains of the Barre and Bennington
companies, as well as other commits
stoned officers. are among the "slain.
Thus far the record Is as follows :---~
Co. A, Rutland, examined l06, re-
jected l6.
Co. ID, ST. Johnsbury, SO men exam
ined. 27 rejected.
Co. l., Newport, 81 examined, 20 re-

jected.
Co. f, Northfcld, 81 examined, 20

Co. c, Brandon, 30 examined, 20 re-
jected.
The table shows that $50 men were
brought to camp and that 2lS of these
were sent home on account of physical
inability to enter the United States SER
vice. This is 22.l per cent.
Recruits are being taken in as fast
as possible and examined so rs to
have 81 sound men to the company.
The regiment will be mustered into
the regular army this week. There
have been only company drills thus
far. The Vermont regiment win 90 to
Chickamauga, which probably means
Cuba later.
The troops are now drawing the reg
ular army salaries with the addition of
the state pay of 81 per month to that
of the privates. Officers furnish their
own mess. The list is as follows:
Colonel. $500 per year; lieutenant
colonel. $1,000; major, $1,000; cap

second lieutenant, HOO: sergeants,
S2s.60 per month; corporals, S25 per

The adjutant and quartermaster draw
S1.s00 per year, the same salary as the
captains.

SPAIN ASKS LEES RECALL.
u.sO WANTS RELIEF SUPPLIES NOT
SENT IN wARsHIPs.

PRESIDENT Mckinley Declines to Com
pIy with Either Request-The Re-
auest Relating to WaFships Based
on the Ground That to Send the
supplies in Merchant Vessels VIII
Deprive Them of Their Official
Character.
Madrid, March 6.-Senor Gullon, Span
th minister of foreign affairs, recently in
tlmated to United States Minister Wood
ford that the Spanish government desired
Lee. and that the American warships
which have been designated to convey sup
niles to Cuba for the relief of the suffer-
ers there should be replaced by merchant
vessels, in order to deprive the assistance
sent to the reconcentrados of an official
character.
Minister Woodford eabled the request to
the Washington government, which re-
pied, refusing to recall Gen. Lee in the
present circumstances, or to countermand
the orders for the dispatch of the war
vessels, making the representation that
the relief vessels are not fighting ships.
For several days the newspapers have
been violently attacking Consul General
Fitzhugh Lee.
The impartial, after remarking that ian
American newspaper has insinuated that
Gen. Lee is a member of syndicate de-
string to purchase Cuba says: His i'll
will toward Spain is so marked that even
American newspapers inimlcal to Spain
are remarking it,

The Havana correspondent of the I'm
parcial says: Among the packages OF
food sent by the Americans to Cuba, the
customs officers found watches, jewelry
and other contraband articles. All such
parcels were consigned TO Consul General
Lee, who is said to have energetically pro-
tested against such coptraband declaring
that it was without his knowledge"
other papers accuse Gen. Lee of being
better disposed toward the Cuban insur-
gents than toward the colonial govern
nent"

SUPPLIES TO co ON THE FERN.
Cruisers Montgomery and Nashville
VIII Not BE Sent.

VIII Not BE Sent.
Key West, Fla, March 6.-The supplies
for starving Cubans will not be taken on
the cruiser Montgomery and Nashville. II
is understood that the dispatch boat Fern
will perform the duty. The change of
plan was. ordered from Washington yes.
terday or on Friday. A very high naval
official, in the course of an interview this
evening, said: 1.-THE Fern Is much bet
ter suited for such duties. I do not know
that the change of plans was brought
about by Spain's demand. Indeed. ! am
inclined to think 1t is the result of a sug-
gestion from Key West.
II fully expect the Fern will be taking
supplies here by the end of this week,
and you must remember that though she
is only tender to the fleet, she is still
vessel of the fleet and of this navy. The
survey boat Bache will return as soon as
possible to Havana after her arrival here
tomorrow and will relieve the Fern.
THAT boat can get supplies over to Gu
ba in short order. When the Montgomery
was at Matanzas investigating conditions
there her officers were most cordially re-
ceived. Ii is strange if Spain has now made
objection to the proposed peaceful errand
of the Nashville and Montgomery. But
however that may be, it is far better that
those cruisers should not go to Cuba under
the present conditions.
81 should not be surprised to learn that
Spain had demanded the recall of Consul
General Lee. 1t is only natural to sup
pose that she is anxious to seize upon any
circumstances which she might consider
would offset the De LONE incident"
From the general tone of this officials
remarks it was gathered that no special
instructions regarding the fleet had been
received, and no steps are being taken to
meet an unexpected crisis in American re-
lations with Spain. There is much excite
ment locally over rumors of disturbances
in Havana, but naval officials here ex-
hibit no anxiety.
1t can be definitely stated that the court
of inquiry will return to Key West Prob
ably it will hold its final sessions here.

Demand for the Recall Likely to

New York, March 6.--Gen Daniel T..
siekels who was minister of the United
States to Span from 1863 to 1874, during
which period occurred the strained rela-
tious between that country and the United
States over the virglnius affair, said to-
day that Spain's request for the recall of
Consul General Lee was a serious move
and likely to lead to serious results.
Gen. Sckels continued: 1T is Spain's
right to ask for Gen. Lees recall. When
I was minister to Spain. was instructed
to demand the recall of the Spanish con-
sui general here and my request was i'm
mediately granted by the Spanish govern

cident. President Mckinley is at liberty
to refuse to recall General Lee. and I'm
that case Spain would be perfectly justi-
fed in handing him his passports on the
single ground that he Is persona non

"Do you consider that this move on
spain's part puts this country nearer war
than 1t ever was over the Virgipius af-
fair?'
Not at all. II anything we were nearer
war then than now. do not regard the
request as casus belli, and It is no more
than their right to demand that II we
