According to the present ARRANGEMENTS
companies are expected to come into camp

campaign uniforms and paraphernalia and
arms When the government supplies ar
rive these, or such portion as may be need
co. will be returned to the armories of the
companies by the state. OF course, many

Quartermaster General West, Col.

the Governor this morning, and arrange

London Letter In New Orleans Times

Miss Liias Hamilton. VI. D., physician
TO the Ameer of Afghanistan, has amused
the London society with some interesting
anecdotes. Here are a few OF the best:
Speaking generally, she said that the in
habitants Of Afghanistan had no distinct
national characteristics, and IL might be
called an artificial nation made up of ele-
unents as diverse as French, German and
negroes. Men 80 handsome that they
might stand for Greek statues were TO be
seen side by side with the most repulsive-
Nv ugly creatures imaginable. They show
"a great ability as artificers and mechan-
les IN the workshops, however. The cli-
mate of Afghanistan was perfect, for IL
was a country Of sunshine with just
Dleasant winter season. and its flowers
were glorious, while its fruits were world
famed.
After an interesting survey Of Afghan
history and description of the circum.
stances under which the powers of Lire
and death were vested in her rulers ana
held by the present sovereign, Miss Ham.
ilton dwelt at cOnsidera bic length on the
Ameer's own character. She defined him

Dom Paups stovepipe.
From lac Baltimore Sun.

There is a story just now current in
Rome to the effect that a sculptor in that
city, in an evil hour for his reputation
as an artist, undertook some time ago 10
produce ito order a bronze statue of
President Kruger of the Transvaal. One
of the conditions imposed were that no
liberties were to be taken with Dom Paul
He was to be represented 80 all his native
heaviness of features, with the fidelity
which oliver Cromwell exacted, and for
personal decoration he was to be depicted
in his ordinary frock coat and tall hat
The most trying stipulation of all was
however that made by Nine. Kruger Dom
Pauls amiable lady insisted that the crown
of the hat should be made concave, so
that it might catch and hold rain water
for the refreshment of little birds! The
artist has succeeded In doing the bidIing
of his patrons, and the statue is now al
most ready for transmission to Pretoria
This concern for the welfare of the harm
less little birds Is creditable to Nine Kru-
gers maternal heart, comments a CORE
spondent, but humanitarlanlsm of this
kind is certainly not conducive to the pro-
duction of a keen aesthetic sense.
1t is stated that President Kruger has
now almost as keen a dread of assassina-
ton as characterized the last days Of
Cromwell He carries a weapon in mis-
pocket, and his guards, who are on duty
day and night, are double as strong in
number as was the. case a year or so ago
when he used to sit at ease on the veranIa
Of his house, He no longer gives access
to all corners. The story that the muir
derer Of Mr.. Joel wanted money as the
price of the presidents assassination ere
ated a deep impression on the Beers, who
appear 70 hold the fatalistic belief that
Dom Paul Is doomed to come 10 a violent
end.

Twenty Per Cent. of the Men in
Some Companies Rejected.
New Orleans, May 5.-The physical ex-
animation Of the volunteers began to-day
and was more severe than expected, some
companies losing fully 20 per cent, while
others came through almost without loss.
The companies will at once be recruited
to their full number.
Capt George McCurdy, the United
States engineer in charge of the Lou
isiana levees, has been ordered to report
in the field
Maj Willard in charge at Vicksburg

DR.. Estrada, Spanish surgeon, has
asked to be naturalized and offers him
self and son as volunteers to the army

The companies of regulars sent to the
Gulf forts have been ordered to return to
camp here
The Governor has ordered hurry in mus
tering in the volunteers. The belief is cur
rent that the transports will take the reg
ulars and perhaps the volunteers to Cuba
at an early date. The regulars are expected
to leave next Tuesday.
