ORGANIZATION OF
 BABY REGIMENT IS PROGRESSING SLOWLY
Formation Of Thirty Fifth h. fantry Is Watched With In- terest. Col. Frier In Com mand, Reaches Douglas

DOUGLAS, July S-Organization of
 the new Thirty-fifth infantry is pro ! ceeding so rapidly that it may be
 established in its own camp in a week
 The site has not yet been selected It is thought the new regiment will start with about 800 men. Most of
 the officers transferred except the sec ond lieutenants have already received ! their orders. They are being assigned from the four infantry regiments in
 camp and also from outside regiments.
 Gel. James H. Frier, the command
 CT, has arrived here. He was formerly lieutenant colonel of the Twelfth in fantry Ut Nogales. He is considered an excellent officer, having had ex-
 perieD9e in Cuba and the Philippines.
 He entered West Point in 1882 and
 has served in the Seventeenth, Twelfth, Twenty-third and Tenth in
 fantry regiments. He is a graduate of
 the school of the line and war col
 lege. As the new regiment will be the baby of the Sixth brigade, the oth- CT regiments are taking much interest in it. These regiments will be slight ly disorganiZed by the transfer of en.
 listed men and officers to the new unit.
 The remaining half of the Fourth infantry of New Jersey arrived here yesterday, and the whole regiment is now in camp. There are rumors that 5000 or 5000 more volunteer troops are coming here, but the military au- thorities say they know Lothing abous it.
 Sergt. Maj. Basil Confess, of the Sixth field artillery, has been promot- ed to captain, being the only non commissioned officer at Camp Harry J. Jones honored with, a commission so far. He has been assigned to duty as battalion adjutant of the Connecti | cut field artillery. 1t is a battery ! made up exclusively of Yale students. i Capt Confess has long been recOg- : nized as one of the most efficient non- commissioned officers in the army. He is an expert artilleryman. His de- | parture from the Sixth field will be great loss. J. E. Glothan, who has been sergeant major of the secondj battalion of the Sixth field artillery | at Laredo, is already performing the duties of regimental sergeant major in place of Confess.
 Another artillery officer, Sergt. i, Onorio MOretti, now at the scEcol oft fire at Fort Sill, has received a com mission as an officer of the Connecti- cut artillery. The Connecticut Loys are now in a training camp.
 Capt Cassells, who came to the sz-Al, EnlH rtf C rn mand Battery F, has been retired as major and left tor his home at Pen dleton, s. c.
 First Lieut.. H. E. Miner, who has been an instructor at West Point, has returned to the regiment for duty.
 Lieut.. Donald Nj. Beere, who has been on duty as instructor at West Point, arrived here yesterday for duty with the Sixth field artillery.
 The new post exchange of the Sixth field artillery is unique piece of and sets new standard Jf design for post exchanges for warm climates. There is a roof of cOrru- gated iron. To prevent this from get ting red hot in the sun, a canvas GOV ering will be placed over it like a fly for a tent. The walls are cf adobe plastered with cement for appearance, and the half timbers are used in way to resemble Queen Anne or old English architecture. The windows are 50 made that when they are lifted the whole side of the building is open and the breeze can stream through. Col. Creole has taken personal inter est in designing and supervising the of the building
 The officers Of the Eighteenth in Iantry, accompanied by the band, will pay visit this evening to Brig. Gen. ! aine and other officers of the New Jersey militia.
