ShiDs Get Rush Orders
to Load for Vera Cruz

Galveston, Tex, April 24.-Rush or
ders to embark for Vera Cruz the Fifth
brigade of infantry and as much artil-
lery and cavalry as available in the
Second division of the army here
were received from Washington to-
night.
The orders were to take necessary
ammunition and other supplies for at
least 80 days. The four transports,
Meade, Mcclellan, Sumner and Kill
patrick, loaded and waiting to go, al
ready carry supplies for $500 men for
at least so days.
The orders impress the fact that in
fantry and artillery must arrive at
Vera Cruz at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
In addition to the army transports
already here, commercial steamer
will be chartered to convey troops.
Three torpedo boat destroyers, the
Preston, Ried and Flusser, are avail
able here to act as conveys to the
transports.
The supplies loaded today included
10, 900 pounds Of medicine and drugs.
Four hundred recruits are to arrive
here between tonight and Sunday from
New York, St. Louis and Denver.
No cavalry will 60 aboard the fou1
regular transports, which leave to-
morrow, according to tonight's plans
at division headquarters. This is be-
cause of lack of accommodations anc
the fact that loading the cavalry
probably would delay the movement Of
the infantry and artillery.
There are "a guns of the Fourth ar
tillery here. All these guns, includ
ing the battery to be taken tomorrow
are the mountain type.

Volunteer Bill Reudu.

Washington, D. C.-The so-called
volunteer bill, designed to put the vol
unteer forces of the United States in
war time on systematic basis, was
agreed to by the senate and house con-

vision giving priority to military or

Send Wenatchee Fruit
to Panam1-Pacifc Fair

Wenatchee-The Commercial club
will be represented at the Panama Pa
ci6c exposition with permanent ex-
hibit. At noon luncheon motion
was passed giving the publicity COM
mittee instructions to engage adequate
space in the horticultural building.
Chairman David N. Gellatly, of the
publicity committee, introduced the
matter.
District displays are only permits
sible in the horticultural building.
Gellatly said space is free, but to
make creditable showing it will cost
not less than $4,000 or $4,000. The
question was proposed, how is this
money to be secured? The only sug-
gested answer is that tax of small
amount per box be levied by consent
of the growers in order to raise fund
to increase the market for their prod
uct, the idea being to advertise ap-
pies, not apple land. Gellatly said
this would be fine plan if it will
work.
C. A. Harris declared that at Pat
eros next week another publicity con-
vention of the North Central Washing
ton Development league will be held,
and that he proposes to tell the dele
gates that Wenatchee is going to the
exposition and wants the rest of this
section to join in.
This sentiment was echoed with loud
and enthusiastic applause. He indi-
Gated that the fund should be raised
for district exhibit.
