Hope TO FIGHT BOXERS
Cava.rymen at Fort Myer Eager
for Active Service.
Officers and Men Preparing for De-
parture-Confident Tint They Will
Conflict in China Enthusiastic
Over the Prospect Before Them.

| These are busy days at Fort Myer
! Officers and men Of the four troops of the
| Third Cavalry are eagerly preparing for
the Chinese campaign, in which 1t seems
certain they will take part. Their orders
are to sail for Nagasaki. Japan, where
| further instructions will be received 1t
will take them almost month after de-
parting before they reach Nagasaki.
Meanwhile, should the situation in China
be cleared the regiment may go to Manila.
That chance, however, is a very remote
! one.
Almost without exception the soldiers
| are confident of going to China. The men,
who have had no foreign service since their
| return from Cuba, are wildly enthusiastic
at the chance of getting into fight again.
The officers who, for the most part, have
families here, are also getting ready for
he campaign, for although they have much
to lose. yet they have much to gain in the
line of advancement, which is certain to
result from service in China.
One squadron, four troops. Of the Third
Cavalry, is stationed at Fort Myer There
are about 100 men in all, and they were
paid on Thursday, just after receiving
word OF being ordered to the East. Usually
every pay day means some men missing
for few days thereafter, but there has
been no. single delinquent this time.
The men are all so anxious to see active
service that they will not risk losing their
chances by absence now.
1t is uncertain when the squadron will
leave here. The only question is that of
transportation. All of the heavy equip
ments which will be needed in oriental
service has already been secured. The
troopers have their full supplies Of cloth
ing and weapons.
They can get away in forty-eight hours
now after transportation is arranged for.
The other troops of the Third Cavalry
are now in the Philippines with Col.
that as soon as possible one Of the squad
rons now there will be relieved by the
troops now ordered to the Orient, and
the soldiers who hay. been bearing the
brunt in LuZon viii have chance to re-
turn home. The squadron now at Fort
Myer will be succeeded here by portion of
the Fifth Cavalry. which has been in the
West Indies.
The squadron here is commanded by
Major II. P. Kingsbury, who will have
charge OF it on the Eastern trip. Lieuten-
ant Rooster is adjutant, and Lieutenant
Phillips quartermaster. Troop B is Offered
by Captain Boughton and Lieutenant Hese-
kin. Troop G by Captain Hardie and Leu
tenant Ordway, Troop | by Captain Nc
Donald and Lieutenant Wallach, and Troop
II by Lieutenant Merillat.

Bodies of 13S Have So Fnr Been Re-
| covered.
NEW YORK, July e-Thus far 1873 bodies
of the victims of the Hoboken fire have
been recovered. and it is now believed that
this number, with the possible addition OF
but few more. will complete the list Of
bodies recovered. Although a careful
search was made of the North River in the
| vicinity of the burned piers yesterday and
this morning, no more discoveries were
made.
| 1t is expected that one or two more
bodies may be found on the Saale when a
| thorough search can be made. 1t is not
believed that there are any bodies in either
the Main or the Bremen. At the North
German Lloyd Line offices this morning
1t was said that II was not likely that more
than two or three more bodies would be
recovered.
The Main and the Bremen lay deep in
the mud Of Weehawken this morning,
whittier they were towed on the night of
the fire. No effort has yet been made 10

A force OF men from the Merritt-Chapm n
Wrecking Company is at work on the
Bremen under the direction OF Captain Oh =
tenden, and it was announced this morning
that everything would be In readiness t. be-
gin pumping out that vessel on Wedne day.
Seven and eight-inch suction pumps are
now being fitted in the matches, and xhen
they are started the water will pour cut
faster than il came in. Captain Chitten-

and in view Of that he has thrown out two

that every portion OF the two vessels that
was accessible had been searched without
results. He said that If there were any

NO RIVER FIRE ENQUIRY.
New York Marine Underwriters VIII
Not Act.

NEW YORK. July st is certain tina:
no investigation of the causes of the fire al
the North German Lloyd piers, in Ho-
boken, will be made by the marine under
writer's, and SO far no steps have been
taken by the fire underwriters to institute
an enquiry or to raise the rates of insur-
ance. Anton A. Raven. President of the
Atlantic Mutual Insurance Company, said
this afternoon:
In my Judgment, the marine underwrit-
ers viii take no special action in regard
TO the causes of the Hoboken fire. There
Will be no advance in rates. / learn from
Mr.. Schwab that three vessels, the Bremen
the Saale, and the Main, which were
burned so badly. are TO be repaired and
put in service again, and We are glad to
see that the damage to property is not Sc
great as predicted. Precautionary measures
against such fires may receive renewed
consideration, and / am glad to say that
the practice of placing combustible ma
terials and packages too close together on
piers is likely to be stopped
No meeting Of the Beard OF Fire Under
writers has been called. and it is not ex-
pected that rates will be increased at least
for some time to come
Mayor Pagan, of Hoboken, the city
council, and DR.. Samuel Helfers, Presi-
dent Of the Board of Health OF Hoboken.
had conference this forenoon regarding
the advisability of using more dynamite
to dislodge bodies said to be lying at the
bottom of the river between the North
German Lloyd piers. DR.. HelfeTs was in
ciined to the belief that the employment
of divers would be better than the use
OF the explosive. This met the view OF
the mayor, but 1t was decided to have
talk with Gustav Schwab, the agent of
the Inc, before reaching final decision.
Mr.. Schwab viii be in Hoboken late this
afternoon.
Employees of the board of health today
disinfected the ruins of Campbell's ware
house, owing to the stencil arising from
them. The smell, 1t was said, was due to
a large quantity Of beans stored in the
building DR.. Heifers said that the water
soaked beans were decomposed. He added
that in a couple of days they would be dug
out Of the ruins and dumped far out at sea.
On board the Saale preparations were
continued today to get the pumps in place,
in order TO begin clearing the hull of
water tomorrow. There are six of these
ship between the last half OF the ebb
tide and first half of the flood-about six
hours. Captain Kelvin, who is in charge
of the Merritt & Chapman Wrecking Com
pany's men, said today that he had no
doubt he would have the Saale afloat to-
morrow. Then she will be hauled inshore
Three bodies OF men were taken from
the wreck this forenoon. There was no
clothing or two. They cannot be identi-
fed. The face Of the third was in per-
feet condition. They were placed in pine
boxes and sent to the Hoboken morgue.
The diver who found the bodies said he
believed there were no more In the second
cabin. He made a thorough search Of it
and was unable to find any.

GRANTED MORE TIME.

| order FOR Deportation of ROuman-

| The Roumanian Jews who arrived at
| New York from Europe last week, and who
were ordered by the Commissioner of I'm
migration to be deported have been grant
cd a stay until July 81, that they may
have more time to furnish proof that
they do not belong to the excluded

, stance of Simon Wolf. of this city. chair
man of the Committee on Civil and Re
ligous Rights of the Union of the Ameri-

mons, Of New York. superintendent of the
Baron de Hirsch Trust Fund The case of
these IT'S political refugees appealed to the
| authorities who, 1t is believed, are dis
posed to grant them every indulgence
They were temporarily barred out because
it Was thought likely that they would be-
Come public charge, and also because
they could not prove 20 the officials that
they are not of the prohibited category.
Their story is an unusual one. They
came to this country in consequence Of
anti-Semitic persecution prevalent in Rou-
mania, where Jews are deprived Of citi-
Zenship and allowed to live only in GER
tain towns set aside for them. They are
also forced to act as the servants of lead
ing government officials and prosecuted to-
day as badly as they were in Roumania
thirty years ago.
These men, having provoked official dis
pleasure in some way, were driven out of
their homes and received passports which
distinctly state that they may never return.
This passport is regarded as remarkable by
the immigration officials. Nov that adm Is
sion to the United States is refused them,
knowing as they do the impossibility OF re-
turning TO Roumania, most of the young
men are in depressed frame of mind. and
several have threatened TO commit suicide
should this Government finally exc ude
Mr.. Wolf. however. that decision will be
rendered in their favor.
Mr.. Wolf says: 1T is proper to say that
these refugees are not paupers. but, on the
contrary. each one of them Is mechanic
or tradesmen, and all are intellig Mt,
peaceful young men. Their lives hereto
fore have been SO miserable and they have
been caused to suffer and endure s-ch
hardships that it is thought another dis
appointment, such as being denied entrance
to the United States. pictured 10 :hem a

The department will carefully consider
the case on July 81, after giving an oppor- |
tunity for both sides to produce evidence |
and decide upon the merits OF the case.
