MOVES ENCAMPMENT
FROM ISLE OF PALMS
Secretary Garrison Makes Brief
But Positive Statement.
NO SITE YET SELECTED.
War Department, Finding Blease's
Letter Unsatisfactory, Decides
Not to Send Troops There.

Washington, April 2O.-"The en-
campment of the Ninth division of
militia which was proposed to be held
at the Isle Of Palms will not be held
there"
This was the brief but positive
statement made to The States corre-
spondent by Secretary Garrison late
this afternoon when asked about the
matter.
Asked further whether this meant
that South Carolina had been entirely
eliminated from consideration in con-
nection with the holding of the en-
campment, the secretary said that he
had nothing to say on that feature at
the present time, but that, as above
stated, it would not be held at the
Isle of Palms.
Those who are familiar with the
situation and who have kept track of
this matter for the past two weeks
are positive that no point in South
Carolina will be chosen for the en-
campment., That the Isle Of Palms
has lost the encampment because of
the attitude of the governor of South
Carolina is also we'll known to those
who have kept up with the efforts of
Congressman Whaley, Senator Till
man and others to have the encamp-
ment held near Charleston.
1t was March 20 when Secretary
Garrison, after considerable work on
the part of Mr.. Whaley and repre-
sentative business men of Charleston
and Senator Tillman and other mem
bers of the South Carolina delegation
in congress, informed Senator Till
man that the Isle of Palms had been
chosen for the point of manoeuvres.
Then trouble began to appear, the
exact nature of which is clear to
readers OF the daily papers in South
Carolina.
In word, the war department
would not stand the attitude of the
governor of South Carolina. Today
was the final time when the governor
could square himself with the war de
partment. He failed 10 do so with
the result that the Isle or Palms loses
its proposed encampment and in all
probability no other place in South
Carolina will be selected.

VOLUNTEER BILL
PASSES THE SENATE
The Measure Has Now Gone
Through Both Houses.
IS HELD UP TEMPORARILY.
Conferences Delayed by Reeds APP
peal For Reconsideration
Likely to be Adopted.

Washington April 20.-Promulga-
tion Of volunteer army for service
in Mexico or in other crisis would be
provided for in a house bill passed
today by the senate with amend
ments. Conferences on the measure
were delayed by a motion by Sena-
tor Reed to reconsider the vote. SEN
ate leaders said the motion probably
would be disposed of tomorrow.
The bill would revise the law un-
der which a volunteer force was or
ganiZed for the Spanish-American
war in 1898. Its authors claim that
a volunteer force could be raised
more quickly than under the exist
ing law; that it would prevent the
payment of bounties, would do away
with a short term of enlistment by
making the term OF volunteers the
same as that in the regular army;
would procure the necessary num-
ber of men at the beginning of the
war for long period, thus making
decrease the pension list after the
war.
The law would give the president.
instead of the governors of the States
the authority to appoint all officers
for the volunteer forces, requiring
him to give preference in their selec-
tion to those who have had military
training and instruction.
Instead of the volunteer forces
waiting to be called into service until
all the organized militia of all arms
had been called, it would permit the
organization of volunteers of a par
ticular arm as soon as the militia of
that particular arm had been put into
service.
The present strength OF the organ
lied militia, including both officers
and men, is approximately 10000,
according to the latest returns from
adjutants general for the different
States to the war department. These
civilian soldiers are divided, In part.
as follows: Alabama. 1859; Florida.
1,22O; Georgia. 2,898; Louisiana,
1,142; Mississippi, LAB; North Caro-
lima, 1858 and South Carolina,
1909.

J.
With Senate.
Washington, April 2O.-In 48
hours, possibly less, the United
States government Will have taken
possession of the Mexican custom
houses at Tampico and Vera Cruz.
Detailed plans for landing of
marines at those two important coast
towns were completed at a confer
ence at the White House between
President Wilson, Secretaries Bryan.
Garrison and Daniels, Major Cen
eral Wood, and Rear Admirals Fiske
and Blue, and John Lind.
NO ORDERS GIVEN.
mo orders to the army and navy
Will be issued tonight" was the an
nouncement made after the confer
ence, action Temporarily being de-
ferred until Congress acts on the
joint resolution approving the Presi-
dents purpose of using the armed
forces of the United States to en-
force its demands against General
Huerta, growing out of he arrest at
Tampico of American biuejackets.
The resolution passed the house
tonight by vote of 337 to 81, after
spirited debate. For several hours
t was considered by the senate for
eign relations committee with pros
poets of an all night session of the
'enate, or a recess until early tomor-
row.
The house adjourned until 10
O'Clock tomorrow and President Will
son, worn out, retired after hearing
that the house had adopted the res
olution.
Persons who we're in touch with
the President said the steps which
would be taken by the United States
short of war" were of a nature
which would not require formal
notification to the powers in the same
sense as declaration of blockade or
other preliminaries to war. For
eign governments will be kept in
formed of developments, however.
The debate in the house brought
out the fact that, while the Ameri-
can navy probably would block
Mexico CT from commerce with the
United States, it would not interfere
with the passage to and fro of for
eign vessels, though cargoes dis
charged on the shore might be held
at the custom houses.
THE RESOLUTION.
The joint resolution passed by the
house and which was before the sem
ate at late hour tonight, read as
follows:
"A joint resolution justifying the
employment of the armed forces of
the United States in enforcing GER
tain demands against Victoriano
Huerta. Resolved by the senate and
house of representatives in Congress
assembled, that the President of the
United States is justified in tn eem-
ployment of the armed forces of the
United States to enforce the demands
upon Victorana Huerta for uneoui-
vocal amends to the government of
the United States for affronts and in
dignities committed against this gov
ernment by General Huerta and his
representatives"
