Major General Miller in Camp
Major General Charles Miller, re-
tired. who commanded the Pennsylva-
MIA National Guard about ten years
ago, arrived in camp this morning
from his home in Franklin, Pa. Gen
eral Miller was met at the station by
Colonel George c. Richards, of the
Sixteenth regiment, and its band and
escorted to division headquarters in an
automobile.
The organization of the First Bri-
gade, are still receiving recruits and
having them examined. The detailed
work over which difficulties arose yes
terday is being carried on, the regu-
lar army and guard officers working
together most of the night No signs
of friction are apparent and the Off
GERS being now familiar with the re-
quirements of the War Department
are eXpediting matters. Delays due to
nonarrival of uniforms are being over
come by rush shipments from the
United States army.
No Change in Orders
General Clement to-day discussed
with Captain j. b. Kemper, of the reg
ular army, the details of the infantry
mastering in which will be attended by
considerable ceremony.
The fact that the orders were for
the Philadelphia organizations to move
day overcame fears of the guards
men that developments in the Mexican
situation would prevent any of the
Pennsylvanians being sent to the bor-
der. No orders indicating any change
of the orders for the Guard to get
ready and entrain as soon as possible
have been received at division head
quarters to-day.
Ban on DeHcacies
General orders were sent through
out the camp to-day by Major G eneral
Clemen the commanding officer, that
sales of ice cream, cake and otner
food and all drinks would not be per-
nlitted except by the authorized
agents, who must submit to the in
spection of the surgeons. The First
and Fourth Brigades have designated
men for these privileges. The resuft
Will be that no sellers OF ice cream
cones and other delicacies will be al
lowed in camp. This order is to safe
guard health of troops. No liquors
are allowed in camp at all The
orders also call for the organization
of sanitary squads and make strict
regulations for sanitation of the
camp.
