GEN. GREENE CALLED TO CAPITAL.


Reports reached Newport last might
from jamestown, where Gen. Franci:
V. Greene of New York is passing the
summer with his ylmily. that he has
been called TO Washington upon some
important matter of business.
Before Secretary Alger resigned Gen
Greene was talked of as a possible sue,
cessor should Alger retire. and now
that he has actually laid down his
portfolio Gen. Greene has grown very
much more prominent as a possible
head OF the war department.
80 last night when il was stated that
he had been called to Washington, but
one idea seemed TO suggest itself that
President Mckinley had Gen. Greene
In mind as a member of his cabinet.
Gen. Greene appears TO have left for
Washington, and while IL is possible
that he was only called to Washington
upon matters concerning the Philip
pines, under the circumstances the gos-
sip in army and navy circles is that the
war portfolio Is most likely TO be the
subject Of his visit
Gen. Greene of New York was for
merly In the regular army and resigned
to go into business. When the Spanish
war broke out he was made colonel GO
a New York regiment. Later he was
made a general. and served in the Phil
ippines. He is not only a very capable
business man but he understands army
matters and the conditions in the Phil
ippines thoroughly.
Gen. Greene, IL is understood, would
have the support of Senators Platt and
Depew should President Mckinley wish
Gen. Greene to take the war portfolio.

The BicIcIe Detachment.

This year there is a decided novelty
I'm the shape Of a bicycle corps COM
posed of % men, divided into two de-
tachments, one under command of
Capt. Greene, and one under Capt. Wa
terman. This corps started out a half
hour I'm advance of the main body.
They are supposed TO represent the
enemy and will resist the advance of
the two detachments of the briga1 1e, re-
treating discreetly and covering their
retreat as we'll as possible. The use
OF the bicycle corps is something new
in the minua when used in the man
ner that ii is today The Signal corps
men have used bicycles on the march,
but they have never been employed TO
carry detachments which are TO act
as the two are under Capt. Greene and
Capt. Waterman.
The camp tonight will be pitched on
the Knight land. near Pontiac and the
broad stretch of ground secured is ad-
mirably adapted. IL is said, for the
purpose TO which 4 will be put. The
wagon trains are following in the rear
of the advancing army and will be
where they will be ready to put in an
appearance at the camp ground soon
after the detachments have arrived
there.

At a few minutes past o'clock this
morning the brigade of Rhtde Island
militia marched out OF the camp
ground at Quonset Point and is now on
the road for Providence. Reveille was
sounded at a. m, and at 4:30 o'clock
the officers and men were having their
breakfasts. so that there was little or
no delay in making an early start.
Brigade Commissary Sphinx and Quar-
termaster Gray had attended to the
distribution of rations and handling OF
the camp equipment last night, and the
brigade left camp without any con-
fusion.
Last night the men slept in dog"
tents, as the low canvas shelter tents
are generally called, as IL was decided
that IL would be well Il strike camp
yesterday afternoon, pitch the shelter
tents little farther out toward the
parade ground than the wall tents
were and let the several commands
have one nights experience in shelter
tents before venturing out upon the
road 10 again pitch camp at night. This
proved TO be good move, and the men
profited largely by the experience.
