one.
II was remarked here on the street
hy = democratic wag that while William

parade. with a lot Of plug horses, tour
miserable bands, not n worthy OF
the name, and Il lot Of closed cages III
which there might or might not be
, animals, with some alleged Indians AMI
United States Cavalry, the latter iooh-
ing as if they had just come of the

Quantities OF military stores for the

is the natural place for issue. There
is both winter and summer clothing IN
the lot. The guard will have in its
camp a complete field telephone ser
vice with flexible cable, which can be
laid on the ground.
1t seems I be the general opinion
among the national guard officers VINO

Sam will take hold of the island for
good. It is not expected that any OF
the national guard will be Sent there
as a handful Of regular troops will
