quish to Denmark the rights Of the

cry, the scope of which Is i'll defined.
The United States will obtain from

Des Moines. July 25.-The final
movement of troops of the l. N. g.

The first train of tourist sleepers or
dered to take members Of the First In

and the order for the first battalion tc
entrain was given Immediately. 1t was
said that all cars necessary to move the
regiment now are available and that
the brigade headquarters train, the
last to leave, probably will star. from
Camp Dodge before night.
The regular army officers and thcl,
orderliese, 1t was said. had received nc
orders to depart and would remain to
clean up the work of mobilization.
Reports reaching here today from
Brownsville. where members of the

Captain confesses No Alarm.

Baltimore, July 25..-"Circumstances
conditions over which we have no con-
troll, are keeping US in Baltimore. There
is no cause for alarm from any source.
At the proper time we will get away;
there's time for everything"
Thus did Captain Paul Koenig, COM
mander of the Deutschland, explain his
delay in sailing.
1t was said today that Count Won
Bernstorff, the German ambassador,
and Prince Won Hatzfeldt, of the en-
bassy staff, will come to Baltimore to-
morrow evening to be entertained with
Captain Koenig at the home Of the Ger
man consul.
A series of events at the pier where
the merchant submarine Deutschland
is berthed, indicated that it's departure
would not be long delayed.
The most significant Of these were
the filling Of the water tanks and the
slowing below the deck Of the crews,
bedding as it was removed from the
interned North German Lloyd steamer
Neckar nearby. Since the sub
marines arrival two weeks ago the
Deutschland's crew has been sleeping
aboard the Neckar.
Shortly after the water tanks had
been filled, heavy blue smoke was
noticed coming from behind the barges
that screened the Deutschland from
view The wind blowing from the
direction of the submarine carried the
odor of fuel oil, and it was evident
the vessels engines were being tested

Washington. July 25.-Official an
nouncement was made at the White
House today that negotiations have
been practically completed for the pur-
chase of the Danish West Indies by
the United States for $25 100000.
A treaty closing the transaction
probably will be signed today and sent
Immediately to the senate
While details of the treaty were not
given out it Is understood that the
United States would come into COM
plete possession of the islands.
Word has come from Denmark that
the treaty is practically certain Of be-
Ing ratified by parliament.
Hope For Ratification.
Chairman Stone, of the senate for
eign relations committee, saw the pres.
ident but said he had not discussed the
purchase of the islands, It Is under.
stood the government hopes for the
ratification of the treaty at the present
session Of congress.
The harbors of st. CroiX and St.
Thomas are important to the American
navy. Important English, German and
French milling companies have coalng
stations at ST. Thomas.
Islands Long Wanted.
Secretary Seward began negotiations
for the islands in 1865 because naval
operations of the war had shown tne
necessity of base in the West Indies
A treaty was made and ratified by Den
mark but the United States senate
failed to act on it in proper time and
1t lapsed Ineffectual efforts We're made
to reopen the negotiations under nresi-
dent Grants administration. In Roose-
velt's administration Denmark offered
the islands for $5,000,0O0.
