NATIONAL GUARD HERE
MAY CAMP AT MEADE
Arrangements Depend on Action
by Congress Providing Funds
for This Year.

Men now enrolled or to be enrolled
in the National Guard of the District
Of Columbia will go to summer camp
for practical outdoor military instruc-
ton, IL the War Department is grant
ed sufficient funds in the 1890 appro-
priation measure to pay the expense
Of such an encampment.
Brig. Gen. Richard D. Simms, COM
mander of the present District guard,
said today that plans for the summer
contemplate an encampment for Dis
trict guardsmen. Such camp, he
said, however, is wholly contingent
on the War Departments appropria-
ton.
Gen. Simms said that in all proba-
bility Camp Meade, in the event Of an
encampment for District Guardsmen,
will be the place selected. Proper
housing of the guardsmen at small
cost. with all war facilities is pro-
vided at Camp Meade, he said.
Company A of the 5th Infantry of
the new guard is closing it's week
of rifle practice at the Congress
Heights range. About 1870 men of
this company are now shooting on
the range, where there are accommo-
dations for about 800 men. Company
C will leave Monday morning to
spend a week on the range.
After the Spanish war for a num-
Der of years encampments of the
District Guard were held for two
weeks in the summer at Fort Wash
ington. Then they were transferred
to Leesburg, Va; Gaithersburg, and
for several years were held at Har-
pers Ferry.

ment of infantry. Maryland State
Guard, will go into camp on July 5
