American fleet in the bay steamed up

paid a visit to General Kings head
quarters. While the party was there
the First California sharpshooters had

mum of $4,000, a force that in proper
ton to population and wealth of the
country is less than fixed by any other
act Of congress.
AT this time there Is not an officer
on duty with any college in the United
States Notwithstanding the law con-
templates that there shall be one hun
bred detailed for the instruction of
the young men of the country.
THE passage of the Hawley bill
would enable the department to meet
this urgent requirement and also to
re-establish the schools OF Fort Leav-
enworth, the artillery school at Fort
Monroe and the cavalry and light ar
tillery school at Fort Riley, all of
which are closed for the want Of Off
GERS. The passage of the Cockrell bill
teer quartermasters. medical officers,
commissaries, many of whom are Off
GERS of the regular army, holding vol
unteer commissions, and would leave
the department with a corps of staff
officers wholly inadequate for the in
creased demands that are being made
from every quarter. The bill reported
by Hawley, provides only for the abso-
Lutte needs of the service, on lines of
efficiency and economy. 1t was at the
instance of Mr.. Hull prepared under
the supervision of the adutant general
of the army, of General Schwan, Col
onel Carter, Majors H~eistand, Johnston
and Simpson, officers of long service
and high ability. The passage of the
Hawley bill would give promotion to
officers for battle service. Otherwise,
our gallant officers must go without re-
ward beyond the sense of duty we'll
performed"

time this could doubtless De done but
it will require education. By degrees
a company could be given to a regi-
ment to be utilized as scouts and guides
furtheron, a battalion could be added
and in time, things working well, reg

take time, so much time that for h

ORGANIZING PACK TRAINS

For the last few days, Jim McFar-
land, George Knight and Harry Witt
have been foremost in the organization
OF five pack trains. The order to or
ganize the trains came several days
ago from the office of the assistant
quartermaster general at Jefferson Bar
racks. The trains are I o be composed
of Wyoming men solely, and from
present indications, the majority will
come from Cheyenne. Lieutenant
Lyons of Fort Russell has the matter in
charge and already over thirty well
known and husky Cheyenne boys have
had their names put on the list. In all
siXty-tive men are wanted, including
fifty packers, five packmasters and five
cooks. The ultimate destination of the
pack train is unknown, but will I'm
doubtedly be either Cuba or the Philip
pines. The men have received orders
to be in readiness to move at a mo-
ment's notice to Jefferson Barracks,
where the trains will be duly organic
ed, equipped and assigned service. The
packmasters will be George Knight,
Jim McFarlane, Harry Witt, Jim Tai
bot and Fred Sholling. Among the
Cheyenne boys who will be in the trains
are Rex Schnitger, Mike Cribbins, Will
Fisher, Frank Robltaille, Harry Brun-
er, Dwight Apperson.
The qualifications are that a man
must weigh 100 pounds and be able to
put a 200 pound pack on a mule.-Sun-
