r / & II MO ND

~ 4 ~ II W " ~ ~ ' A, SDGNlal--
Governor Mann has directed that at
least two commands of soldiers shall
40 to Manassas to attend the encamp-
ment of the United States soldiers at
that place July 10th to 18th There
has been no definite detail as vet, but
the Governor favors sending the Rich
mond Light Infantry Blues Battalion
10 that place for their encampment
President Taft will be there to spend
several days. and with him will come
two troops of United States cavalry as
escort. The party will be there for
several days, as stated, and there will
be much marching and sightseeing and
military duty in connection with the
occasion.
Whether the Blues will be detailed
for that duty, and 1t is Of special i'm
portance and quite an honor, remains
TO be seen. The Blues have decided
TO go into camp about the time desig-
mated for the maneuvers at Manassas.
and have been considering Basic CITY
as the camp site.
If it shall be found that it is impos-
sible to put the Blues where the ser
vice will be instructive and attach
some Importance, it is believed that an
effort viii be put on foot to have the
command known as Company c, War
renton, Second Regiment. and Com
pany G, Alexandria, of the First Reg
iment, placed at Manassas.
These points have not been decided
but will be arranged as soon as a con-
ference can be had with the officers.

MAINE A MASS
OF WRECKAGE
Sunken Battleship a Tangle of
Ruins-Ful View in q
Month.

HAVANA, CUBA. Special.-Gen-
eral Bixby. of the United States Board
of Engineers, after an inspection Of
the work on the raising of the bat
tleship Maine, said today that it
would probably be q month before
the wreck is fully exposed to view,
although fair progress is being made.
So far as can be seen at present the
ship is but a tangled mass of wreck
age.
I'm spite of handicaps the work is
going forward in a most satisfactory
manner" said General BiXby. The
full force of the explosion will be felt
in the forward quarters. although the
after deck is badly wrenched and the
engine room section is awry. Toward
the bow little can be seen save some
jagged s. lei under the water"
Heavy rains are checking the work,
causing the water to rise in the dam.
1t is likely that the Golfer dam will
be reinforced with truss work.
