Field VIII AstOnish Those who

Rifles and Cartridges Arrive.

The arrival of rifles and cartridges
and quantity of shoes and socks and
uniforms broke the monotony Of life at
Camp Ramsey yesterday and made the
| men think they are really going to the
front. The several quartermasters'
headquarters looked like primitive
gents furnishing stores in a Klondike
mining town. Boxes Of hosiery and
gloves We're piled high in Quartermas-
ter Lind's tent and in the adjoining
tent were huge boxes of guns and am
munitton. With the guns was a supply
Of bayonets.
A number Of uniforms delivered at
the aTmory on a state contract were
taken to the camp and distributed
among the men in the Thirteenth regi-
ment who needed them
Lieut.. Leonhauser, u. 5. A.. the gov
ernment quartermaster at the camp,
said he received only 240 pairs Of shoes.
the other things did not come through
his department. There was $50 stands
of arms and $1,000 rounds of ammuni-
ton in the consignment to the camp.
The guns and cartridges will be dis
tributed to the men in the Twelfth
regiment. The uniforms ordered by the
government are expected to come to-
day.
AS soon as the men are properly
equipped Col. Bobleter will notify the
war department that his brigade is
ready to move, and Immediately it Is
expected at least two regiments will
be ordered away. There was talk
about camp yesterday that the Thir-
teenth regiment would so to the Phil
1ppines after ALL and the Twelfth to
Tampa, while the Fourteenth would
remain here or go to Washington. The
commanding officers, however, declared
they had no idea of the intentions of
the war department and were as much
in the dark as anybody.
Capt. Swigert, the government mus
tering officer, was as busy yesterday
as at any time since his arrival at
camp.

THE SELFISH BRAIN.
HOW 1t Robs the Stomach and What
Follows the Robbery.


According to De Quincy, the supreme prize
In life Is the union Of a fine intellect and a
healthy stomach. Why this combination OF
blessings Is so rare Is easy to see. The brain
Is selfish and the more active 1t is, the more
blcod 1t takes from the stomach That the
stomach may need the blood for the digestion
OF tough, intractable dinner makes no diff
ference to the brain. Hence so many clever
men are more or less dyspeptic, and some of
them say, with Alexander Pope, my life is
a long disease"
Inc whole bodily machinery is thrown out
OF kilter by a dsordered stomach Seden-
tary habits. nervous stress and strain and
careless living make matters worse. Doctors
agree On some things. a popular proverb to
the contrary Notwithstanding They agree
that the best medication for feeble stomach
is stimulant free from any Of the thousand
ana one mischievous substances that make
so many liquors dangerous.
The King of medicinal st mulants is Duffy.s
rure MATT Whiskey. which you can obtain
from grocers and druggists. 1t is Immediate
~ Denencial In cases Of impaired digestion.
ior IL promotes the secretion of gastric ;uice
ana expands the network of tiny blood ves
seis IN the stomach so that the rich blood
fills them.
You can get rid of that stuffy. heavy after
dinner feeling If you use Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey.

later on. 1t is astonishing that the
rolls are as good as they are, for many
of them were written under the most
unfavorable conditions. Many were
written on boxes by the uncertain light
of tallow candles when the captains
could hardly distinguish their own pen-
manship. They are very complicated
affairs and three copies Of each had to
be made. The work was tremendous
when you look it over and think how
it was done.

tinued Capt SWigert. '1 am certain
this brigade was the first sworn into
the volunteer service in all the United
States. I never saw such quick work.
The doctors accomplished a herculean
task in a short time. The state ma

and to that was due the rapidfty Of

field they will astonish those who know

Brig. Gen. John Bacon, U. S. A., was
among the visitors at the camp yester-
day. He expressed qualification at the
appearance of the troops and compli-
mented Coils. Bobleter, Reeve and Van
Duzee upon the excellence of the men
and their quarters.
The Thirteenth regiment guard
mount has been robbed Of its chiefest
charm by the disbandment Of the reg
mental band. Leader Watson enlisted
for the volunteer service, but num-
ber of his musicians refused to do so
because the pay Is too small. So on
Tuesday they left camp, taking with
! them their Instruments. Guard mount

fife and drum corps only. Leader Wat
son is recruiting a band from among

he has ordered instruments from BoS-
ton. They cannot arrive before Sun
day. He thinks, with practice, he will
have as good a band as his old one
was.
The Twelfth regiment is the only one
now that has a band. The Fourteenth
is organizing one.

PROBLEM OF SUPPLIES.
Preparations for Aggressive Acfion
Plainly Visible

WASHINGTON, May 11.-Prepara-
tlons are visible, particularly in the
quartermaSterS and commissarv
branches of the war department for the
expedition for Cuba and the Philip-
pines. On those two bureaus the off,
Gals depend for getting to the points of
embarkatfon the great mass of tents
wagons and food supplies for the men
who are to go forward and for the ships
tnat are to transport them For the
Cuban expedition the quartermaster's
branch is hurrying to the points on the
gulf the ships chartered by Assistant
secretary Meiklejohn yesterday, besides
the numerous supplies necessary for
the comfort of the troops and means
for the transportation Of the munitions
OF war, etc., overland when Cuba Is
| reached
An order has been given for the DUR
chase of 10000 hammocks for the use
of the men in tropical climes. For the
FEEDING of the men the commissary de-
| partment has made arrangements for
the purchase and shipment to Gulf
| points, but mostly to Tampa, of over
| 100000 rations, which, 1t Is estimated.
will supply an army of 10000 men over
| thirty days, assuming that they are
| given full rations during that time.
| 1t is probable, however, that portions
| of this quantity of supplies are intend
! ed for the relief of the reconcentrados
who are dying from starvation in Cuba.
| The arrangements of the commissary
| department are such that the supplies
will be shipped readily to their destina-
! ton points in the United States.
| AS to the Philippine expedition, the
officials say it will be started at the
earliest practical moment. Prepara-
tions therefore are going ahead at
rapid rate. Most of the supplies in the
quartermaster's line that are needed
for this expedition will have to be OBJ
tanned at San Francisco and if not on
hand at the quartermaster's depot
there, and If the time is too short to
contract for them, they will be pur-
chased outright. For feeding the men
who will go on that expedition the
commissary department made arrange
ments for a delivery at San Francisco
of over a million rations. enough TO
accommodate an army of 5000 men
for more than sixty days.
The understanding here was that
Brig. Gen. Naderson, who has just re-
turned to California. was to command
the expedition, but it now looks as If
the assignment had developed larger
Importance than originally anticipated,
and that the command might be placed
in the hands of major general, pos
sibly Gen. Merritt.

them how to die. In the trials and dangers
of war it may be sweet to you to know
that in your far off Northern home there
are those who cherish a fond and loving
recollection of you We therefore present
you, in the name Of friendship, charity
and benevolence, this book of laws 1t
when we fought for liberty in IT'S.
Again in 1851 did we proclaim and main

The chaplain was taken completely

his affiliation with the Knights of

especially of his kindly feeling for ST.

BALANCE DWINDLING.
The Government Compelled to Pay
Ont Its Gold.

The Government Compelled to Pay
Out It's Gold.
WASHINGTON, May 1i.-When ask
ed today as to the reason for so large
disbursements in gold Assistant Secre-
tery Vanderlip explained that with the
present large stock of gold in the treas
ury (about $3.50, ,00O. with the daily
revenue coming in, paid, as it is sub
stantially in gold, it was imperative
that disbursements should be made in
similar funds.
The fact, too, that the daily payments
are now and for some time will con-
tfnue to be in excess of the receipts
makes it plain that the large gold bal
ance will be reduced. This will continue,
he said, until by the proceeds of sales
of the bonds to be provided for the re-
cetpts are augmented.
Comparing the amounts of the several
kinds of money now in the treasury
with the figures for Nov. IL last (six
months). it is found that the amount
Of gold has increased from S155, ,055 $50
to $3.50, 1854 The amount Of free sill
yer has decreased from SIG, 142, ,214 to S.
1874, ,109, and the amount of United
States notes has decreased from $40 :
437,95S to $31, oil, 1858. The amount of
treasury notes is shown to have been
decreased. by over $2,140,O00, and ma
tional bank notes about 81, 900, ,0OO Dur
lHS the same time the deposits in ma
tional banks have increased about s1O.-
100000 on account of deposits of money
received from the Pacific railways.
For some months prior to the declar-
alton of war the receipts from customs
We're increasing. This is shown by the
records of the department, from which
it appears that since August, 1897 the
receipts from this source were as fol-
lows:
August. s6,9S7. .7O2: September, $685.
100; October, $9,713, 494; November, 3d.
S30,025; December, S11 $780, ,7Ss; January,

March, s15450,4 431.
In April the customs receipts fell off
to S14, 1913, 976. For the first eleven days
OF the present month they amount to
