jT CnATTAMOoai, Tenn., April 24. It was
MiVi beautiful day at Camp Thomas and thousand
K(lK' Of people for miles around Trent out to e the
H vjk regulars. Early In tho morning all road lead-.
fl iW log to Chlckamauga wore covered with all aorta
USy' jL of vehicles, and all dajr a steady stream of
Hl Tl team i, horsemen, and wheelmen pourod Into tho
91 li Prk. Tall y-hos and smart traps filled with Bay
JR 1 1 parties dashed by the lumbering wegons ot tho
Kv I I country people and occasionally all would make
Ink I I way for a troop of cavalry or a battery of artll-
MkBI I lery as it filed along to the camp grounds. 8ev
JlwK ft ral of tho rallronds ran excursions from near-
Pvwf Bjr towns Into Chattanooga and the neighbor
fil iSM bood of the railroad yards, wbero the troops,
swl R Bn. and horses came from the fast arriving
liKreSiL trains, swarmed with pooplo.
'S V At tuo camD t,ie crowds were even more dense.
I The soldiers, who had already become estab
lished In tho camps, wero looking their best,
and socmod to enjoy being a great show for the
visitors. The troops nover lost patience with
thotlrclcss questioners, and willingly explained
that tho ennnon wero not loaded from tho
tuuzxlc, and that thero were no small guns In
the caissons. Kxcept that the new arrivals
were busy putting up camp, tho troops "took
It easy to-day," lolling around and onjoylng the
admiration ot the thousands ot visitors.
In tho afternoon religious sorvloes were con
ducted at the platform near Bnodgrass Hill.
The words of the chaplains were listened to by
cores of tho troops, and many wore visibly af
fected by the references to tho dangers that
confront them, and by the prayer that an all
wise God " may keep watch over tho American
arms that are sont forth in the causa ot Justice
and humanity."
While all tho soldiers came in for a good share
of attention, the greatest crowd to-day was
around the camp of the Sixth Cavalry. These
soldiers uro regarded as tho finest cavalry regi
ment in tho army, as thousands of New Yorkers
who saw them recently at Madison Square Oar
den will testify. The camp ot the Ave batteries
from Fort Hamilton. K. Y was also always sur
rounded by n irrent crowd of spectators.
A civalry camp is one of the most Interesting
sichts, the natty troopers and their nimble
hones bolng vory attruitlve. The affection dis
played by the trooper for his mount is recipro
cated by tint Intilllgeut animal, and It is
largely due to this fuct that accidents toman
and beast aro few and far between. The
true cavalryman always provides for his mount
first, and It Is amusing to watch mounted order
lies picking out good graxlug spots the moment
the escort dismounts.
GbUkainauga Park is at present the scene of
one of the greatest reunions known in tho histo
ry ot America. Since the close of the olvll war
the various regiments ot the United States
Army havo been very much broken up, scat
tered, transferred and moved about in squad
ron!, troops, companies and batteries, so that,
now they ore together onoe more, there Is a
general handshaking and renewing of friend
ships. Men stationed at Fort Ethan Allen, VU,
aro asking their former messmates from Jitter
son Barracks, Mo., about " how things are get
ting along at old Jefferson Barracks." One man
learned the full particulars ot the death of
bis brother, who belonged to another troop of
the samo regiment. This regiment was divided
fifteen years ugo, one squadron going East,
separating the two brothers. The brother who
stayed with the Western squadron was killed In
an encounter with Indians ten years ago, and
his brother beard all about It yesterday.
Greetings, slow and sudden recognitions, &a,
are goin,' on at all times at the park.
"Last time I saw you," said a Uentanant
from one of the Eastern forts to another of tho
samo regiment from tho West, "was while wo
were moving over to Fork Ceogh in the worst
blizzard ever known in Montana."
X?T" j J Yea," said tho other, "I remember that
Wp storm. I believe that was the time you got lost
lt. from us. Isn't that right t"
El' Gen. Brooke was at his headquarters to-day,
ty- but except for conferences with his aides little
Wj work was done. To-morrow the work otorgani-
m , aatlon will be resumed with redoubled zeal.
I Gen. Brooke was extremely reticent regarding
li the report that he would be in command of the
ft'i Invading army. Ono ot his aides said, however,
Kife the appointment or Gen. Brooke as corps com-
I MM. mander means that he will bo In supreme com-
I HBf tnund in Cuba, as it Is generally understood that
IwSo Gon. lilies will not take tho Held In tho Island
K In person, hut will direct the army from Wash-
phvj lnutonor some Southern point. The arrival of

Kj mlssariat on Gen, Brooke's staff. Is being anx-
(f' lousl uwaltod by tho Board ot Drummers and
ypl Chuttnnoorf.i merchants.
Kw, To-duy's arrivals at the park included the
Rr"v Be ontU and Twenty fourth Infantry, Battery F
h 'I of tho Fifth Aitlllory and two troops of tho
I First Cut airy. Lato lust nlijht a crowd of
fit &k drunken colored soldiers from tho camp at-
9&I. tempted to res;uo throe colored men who wore
'X being taken to Jail in a patrol wagon. Tho
I soldiers Urod at the polloemon, but wounded

jf who did tho shooting wore arrrstod, and as there
1$ wore threats of resciio. a cavalry troop that had
j-jl just arrived wua detailed to guard the Jail. The
; affair created much Indignation, but the alarm-

! Kkw Okumns, April 2. The attendance at
' R ' tho military camp to-day was tho largest since
j K Its establishment. All New Oileans wan-
. t dered there. There wero the fashlouable people
, E In their carriages, clerks, and working people
SK'. on the streot cars, there were bicyclers on their
Byw wheels, and people on foot, especially tho vet-
hit arnns from tho Confederate camp. Everybody
ft k managed In some way to get there. It was a
1 ' bright, sunshiny day with an Invigorating
I brecre, and tho camp looked its best. The bay.
f , enets on tbo staoks of long rifles glittered In the
1, un like the reflection from glistening panes of
b1mb. Tho notes from tbo bugler's horns
; ' founded keen and ahrlll In tho air, as tho com-
j psuy Sorgoants wero called together by the Ad-
J' jutants to receive order for thb day.
S j A game of baseball was played and religious
efj services were going on at the samo time. The
flfaf shouts ot the rooicrs mingled with the hymns
Wf' ami the organ muslo from the amphitheatre.
WT Father Berlet of the JesulU celebrated mass.

V enuroU followed In service. An organ had been

A larger congregation was present than at tho
morning mass, several of tho officers being mem-

l Was going on Just on tho other side of tbo
Ml ground, where several thousand peonls and
I nearly all the privates wero collected, and shout

If - A number of soldiers olso went fishing. The
m ooldlers havo discovered that there ore plenty of
m flan in thel clear Lake Pontchartraln. Yester-
J jy gome of tho men of tho Eighteenth came In
IF Tfith a big basket of fish, and now the men ore
Iff a,ll unxious to arrange fishing parties and get
tfc omochongo In their rations. Altogether It was
t a delightful, lazy day of rest, and the boys In
Wk blue secmodto enjoy It and to fraternize with
Ml the civilians,
fe-f The Eighteenth regimental band gave Its
T ' first concert to-night. Tho regimental bands of
M , the sevoral United States regiments here have
VL consented to give a military musicals at the St.
ISi , ; Charles Hotel In honor of the arrival of Gen.
K Blmfter. who Is expected here to-morrow.

Realizing the necessity of a telegraph station
at the camp, one-will be plaoed underneath the'
grand stand. In obedience to order tram the
regimental commanders. There will be two op
erators, one from the Eighteenth and one from
the Twenty-third.
The mon of the Twenty-third wero paid off
late last nlcht, and celebrated It. The mascot ot
Company O ot tho Twenty-third la a pet wild
cat, namod "Pretty," a handsome and playful
animal.
There has not been a caso ot sickness at tho
camp since It was established, and the Red Cross
has been without a patient since the arrival of
the troops here. Capt. Bates, of Company A ot
tho Eighteenth, In speaklngaboutthe healthful
ness ot camp life, said that camping In the open
air was tho most healthful war In the world to
live, tbo only danger being in carelessly allow
ing wet olotblnr and footwear todry on tho body.
"Why," he said, "after Ihavo been In camp
for a month or two and go to sleeping in a house
I Invariably contract a heavy cold, Being ox
posed, however, to the open air, It Is well nigh
an Impossibility for any of us to suffer from
such discomforts If we are half way careful.
Here wo havo no treacherous draughts to affect
us as In the close confines ot poorly ventilated
houses."
The regiments here show how well the United
States Army Is divided among the States.
Tho Colonel of the Eighteenth Is from Illinois,
tho Lieutenant-Colonel halls from New York,
while the Major is from Pennsylvania. The
Captains name as their homos Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, Ohio, New Jersey, Massachu
setts, the Dlstrlot of Columbia, Alabama, and
Illinois. Mississippi furnishes one Lieutenant,
Minnesota one, Virginia two, Maryland two,
Connecticut one, Kansas one, Louisiana two,
California one. Arkansas one, and Indiana and
Kentucky tho same number. A large part ot
the privates, however, aro Texans, owing to
the long service the regiment has had in that
State.
Col. Ovenshlne had Adjutant Duprey Issue
orders to the entlro camp this morning to the
effect that no cartridges should be given away
by any of the men. Many women havo Im
portuned tho soldiers for these tokens, hence
the necessity for the orders. Lieut. Strlnginger
of Company G ot the Twenty-third arrived this
morning and reported at the tent nf Col. Oven
shtno. lie has been attending the torpedo
school at Wlllets Point, but a few days ago
was ordered to report back to his company.
Lieut. Murray Baldwin. Second Lleutenont
Company F of the Eighteenth, also arrived from
Wlllets Point All the detailed officers of the
regiments here havo been ordered to Join them
at once.
Assistant Quartermaster-General James M.
Moore, senior in rank In the Quartermaster's de
partment of the army, arrived here late last
night. Ho was ordered to New Orleans, but
while on the way received a telegram ordorlng
him to Washington. He will stay over hero
several days. To-day he visited the camp.
" Yes, it was certainly gratifying to see the
flags waving from tho roofs of the humblest
cabins as our train flow by," ho said, "It clearly
shows that tne people of every kind and in every
seotlon of tho country are shoulder to shoulder
in the present lssuo, between this country and
Spain, and the army can be counted on to do its
full duty."
Gen. 8haf ter is expected to-morrow. Upon his
arrival the troops will be organized Into a divis
ion, and drill tactics v. ill be at onco begun.
Eight trains bearing him and three Pacific Cen
tral regiments passed El Paso. Tex., last night.
It Is announced that tho First Infantry, after
all, will come to New Orleans. The orders In re
gard to It have been changed. It was first or
dered to New Orleans; then the order was cqun
termanded. and the regiment was ordered to
Chlckamauga National Park. Late last night
this last order was rescinded and the regiment
ordered to New Orleans. It is commanded by
Col. Evan Miles, and has been statlonod at Pre
sidio barracks, San Francisco, and Bcnlcla bar
racks, California, It will arrive to-morrow
morning.
Nearly all tho social clubs have oponed their
doors freoly to the officers here. The latter
havo taken advantage ot the otters, particularly
those of the gymnastlo clubs, where tbsy can
take gymnastlo exerclso. The Southern rifle
clubs havo tendered rifle ranges to the officers,
so that thoy can brush up In markmanshlp and
prepare themselves for the Spaniards.
Tho soldiers are so popular here that fake
soldiers are In order, and the police have had to
make several arrests. Among them was ono
Bruce Dixon, a varloty hall artist. Dixon
drooped in on the boys at Fort ClarK several
weeks ogo and was entertained by them. He
got clothing from them. Arriving at New Or
leans and finding the soldiers In high favor ho
donned the soldlor togs be had received and an
nounced himself as a Captain of the Twenty
third Roglment. As Captain he visited several
clubs and was welcomed by them. He unfortu
nately got drunk, whon It was found that ho
was a fako officer. He is now locked up. Tho
officers of tho Twenty-third were much vexed
by the incident.
All told, there were more than 40,000 visitors
to tho camp. The officers will have to adopt
during tho week some rule to restrict the num
ber of visitors.

T.SMTA, Fla, April 21. Gen. Wade took
command of the military camp here yesterday.
He issued a number of orders, one of which di
vided the seven regiments here into tiro bri
gades. The first brigade Is composed of the
Fifth of Fort McPherson, the Sixth of Fort
Thomas, the Ninth from Sackett's Harbor, and
the Thirteenth from Forts Porter, Niagara,
und Governor's Island. This brigade Is under
the command of Col. Melville A. Cochran of tho
Thirteenth. The Second Brigade Is composed
of the Fourth, from Fort Sheridan, Chicago;
the Seventeenth from Columbus barracks, and
tho Tv.enty-first, from Plattsburg, N, Y and is
under command of Col. Poland. The expected
general review which was scheduled to have
taken place yesterday did not ocaur, as the
General was indisposed and unable to leave his
room.
Orders from the headquarters were issued
from time to time, but their importance was
kept secret. Tbo only order made public was
that for the formation of the two brigades. The
soldiers are preparing for an early departure to
the seat of war. All ot them, from Hen. Wade
down, believe that tho time Is short between
'the present date and that of their departure for
the scene of hostilities. It is expected that Gen.
Miles will visit Tampa on a tour of inspection
as soon as he leaves Chlckamauga, and prepa
rations for his reception have already begun.
Gen, Wade, when asked when he expected Gen.
Miles here, said that be would come as soon as
necessity demanded a visit from him.
The fact that the Plant Steamhip Company
has been asked by tho Government to name the
number of troops that it can transport to Cuba
within twenty-four hours does not stem to dis
turb Gen. 'W ads or any ot his command here,
for tbey are settling down in thorough camp
style for an indefinite stay. Unlets plans are
changed no tioopa will bo carried from the
United States until 100,000 troops are massed.
This was learned yesterday from a eeml-ollltial
source. The information is to the effect that
first all ot thereglmonts massed at New Or
leans, Mobile, Chlckamauga, Pensucolo, Sullt
tan's Island, and Tybee will be brought here.
Then all of the troops callod for by tbo Presi
dent will be forwarded until the number reaches
the mark named. It is learned that all ar
rangements have been perfoctod to transport
tbe troops from Tampa to Cuba, and the supplies
will go tbe same way. There seems to be no
longer a doubt on this subjsct, although it has
not boon announced officially,
Tampa has demonstrated that it has all the
necessary facilities for handling the men and
supplies, and the Government has, of course,
accepted the best offered. It Is tbe natural
base for supplies, andUJadvantuges launch
have been recognized by the Government, al
though It is denied that any order designating
It as such has been issued by tho department.

I was an order issued by Gen, Wad appointing
Capt JU'D, Turner ot tne Sixth Infantry acting
Assistant Adjutant-General, Capt Turner im
mediately assumed his post Tho Government,
through the Quartermaster, bos awarded con
tracts for all ot tho supplies needed by all that
part of the army now here. The Plant steam
ship Florida ssllod last night for Mobile, when
the goes to get a cargo of coal for the Plant sys
tem docks at Port Tampa, The Florida will
probably run regularly between Mobllo and
hers, brtngldg coal to supply the United States
fleet which haa made arrangements with Alv
bama coal mines to supply the Government
with all the coal which may be necessary to sup
ply the fleet at either Kev West or Tortugas.
The Red Cross Society yesterday received five
tons of provisions, which are to bo distributed
among the destitute Cubans In Tampa. This
distribution is to be mado through a committee
oonslsting of the Mayor and the pastors ot the
several churches here, and will reach all of the
most needy. This committee was appointed by
Miss Clara Barton, President of the society, be
fore her tloparturo for tho North. Contribu
tions come from poople all over the country and
were originally consigned to sufferers In Cuba.
Since it Is Impossible for supplies to reach the
Island they havo been sidetracked at Tampa,
and as long as the society has its headquarters
here distributions will be made.
A large majority of the needy Cubans In
Tampa have been relieved by the opening of
several factories which have been olosed for six
months. The Cuban element is Intensely In
terested In the result of the war, and in Tampa
alone 1,700 man have organized themselves to
go to Cuba at an early date. They have been
drilling for months, and are thoroughly
equipped.
Tho United States despatoh boat Fern ar
rived at Port Tampa at noon yesterday for a
oargo of ammunition, which has besn awaiting
her arrival for several days. Another mission
ot tbe Fern was to get currency for the fleet in
command of Admiral Sampson.
More than 15.000 poople, or half of the popu
lation ot Tampa, visited the soldiers to-day.
The park occuplod by their camp Is about a
mile square, and tho streets of the tented city
presented a busy scene all tho afternoon. Since
tho regiments hare been divided Into two bri
gades the regiments composing each havo been
moved so as to be together. The First Brigade,
under command of Col, Cochrane, still occupies
the first position taken by CoU Cook on the ar
rival ot the Fifth. The Second Brigade has
moved to a position considerably to the west of
the First The men have sottled down to camp
life now and things are assuming a military
aspect By degrees the routine duties of the
soldiers are being Increased.
A general inspection of all the troops was held
at 10 o'clock this morning by Col. Cochran, rep
resenting Gen. Wade, but no orders ot any
nature wero made publlo. At the Inspection
8,800 men wero In line. This number represents
the entire force now encamped here. Tho prob
ability for an early departure of the troops
seems to grow smaller, and, while the
mon and officers know absolutely nothing
ot tbo plans of campaign, the camp orders of
the minor kind, referring chiefly to the
details of the camp, led color to tho belief that
Gon. Wade oxpects to 1 quartered here for an
indefinite time. E ery officer In the camp has
his own opinion about what will bo done. Col.
Smith of the Thirteenth is disciplining his men
thoroughly and sets the examplo himself. He
refuses to sloep on his cot and insists on sleeping
on the ground. He Is one of tho officers who be
lieves that an early depirture for Cuba is
plannod and wants to accustom himself to the
hardships and discomforts that he will be called
upon to undergo In that orent
Col. Cook's forced retirement constitutes the
chief toplo of gossip among tbe officers ot the
camp still. The fato of the regular army reor
ganization Is Interesting the officers greatly, as
allot them will bo more or less affected by It
They consider It very unfavorable, and predict
that a partial disorganization of the army will
result from its passage.
The weather continues exoesslrely warm, and
tho men from the far north are suffering con
siderably. A number of the unaccllmated have
bad sunstrokes, and it Is feared that many more
will suffer the same way. Otherwise the camp
is In an exceedingly healthful condition, and
the sanitary arrangements are the best.
It seems to be the policy of Gen. Wade to allow
the men to do as little routine as possible on
Sunday, and to-day little or nothing was accom
plished. After Inspection the officers and men
scattered through the city and took In nil resorts
In the neighborhood. The arrival of Gen.
Graham was quite an event for the camp, and
during his brief stay at the Tampa Bay Hotel a
largo number of officer-, paid their respects.
When the train carrying him north was about
to leave, half a dozen of the regimental bands
serenaded him.

Old Nothing but Rett,
MoBitE, Ala., April 24 The camp of the
regulars here was taken possession of this after
noon by the people ot Mobile. There were at
least 10.000 visiters, the great majority of them
being women.. The crowd began mo-ring on the
camp soon after noon, and by 3 o'clock it was
Impossible when the cars passed through Royal
street to even catch on the running boards,
much less to got on the car. For four hours the
cars passed the Post Office laden with people,
each motor drawing from tw o to four trailers,
and still large numbers of people were left on
the corners who were unable to get on. The
women occupied all the setts In tbs trolley
trains, and the men formed a fringe around the
running boards on tbe platform, and even on
the drawheads.
There was nothing at the camp, either, ex
cept the sight ot the soldiers themselves, to
draw such a crowd, for thero was no dress pa
rade. It Is possible that there may be dress
parade to-morrow afternoon. Orders were Is
sued to-night for a number ot drills to morrow
morning. A detail of the Louisiana naval re
serve under Quartermaster Mallett arrived in
this city about 1 o'clock this morning, and at 3
o'clock they left on the tug John Bacon for Fort
Morgan, where they will be used an a signsl
corps. The cutter Winona, which wns sent last
night to Ship Island to capture the Spanish
steamship Lacumlnn, had not returned up to 7
P. M and nothing had been heard from her,
Tho Lacumlna put Into Ship Island yesterday to

The Plant Line steamship Florida arrived In

The American line steamship New York, now
the United States cruiser Harvard, without a
passenger on bosrd, arid without a pleco of
cargo In her hold, came Into port cnrlyij ester
day morning. Within a day or two she will be
equipped with rapld-flrs guns, and will sail
under sealed orders In command of Capt Charles
B. Cotton, U. 8. N.. Lieut Kano ot the United
States Marino Corps, who has been Btatloned
at Boston, was ordered yesterday to report to
the Harvard this morning at 10 o'clook with
twenty-five marines from tbs Brooklyn Navy
Yard.
Tho New York had a stormy trip from South
ampton, which port sho left Saturday, April 10,
at 3:32 P. M. All tho way over sho encountered
strong northwest and southwest gales and heavy
soss. Capt Passow was anxious to reach port
at the earliest possible moment Ho relied on
tho ship's speed to get safely out of the way ot
any hostile warship, and when he was nearlng
the American coast ho kept a sharp eye out for
torpedo oraft When he left Southampton war
seemed a long way off to English people, but no
one on board tho Now York knew what might'
happen while tho ship waa crossing the Atlan tic,
Capt Passow was ready for tho worst and he
was not much surprised when the pilot told htm,
down near Sandy Hook In yesterday morning's
fog, that the war had begun.
Before leaving Southampton the New York
discharged a large number of members ot the
crew, principally stewards and stewardesses.
She brought 245 men. One of the firemen died
of apoplexy and was burled at sea.
Tho New York got to hor pier, foot of Fulton
street North Rlvor, at 0:30 o'clock. On the op
posite side of the pier was the St Louts, unload
ing cargo. When tbe New York reached the
dock she was technically chartered by the
United States, but there were no naml officers
there to take chargo of her, Clement A. Oris
com, Jr., of the American line, notified the Navy
Department at Washington of the arrival oi the
St Louis and New York, and ho was Instructed
to hold tbe ships at their piers. The New York
Immediately began taking on stores for a cruise.
Most of the crew ot the New York signed
papers to enlist In the American Navy for a year
or for a less time, should the Government turn
the ship over to( the American line before tho
expiration of that time. Nearly all the mem
bers of the crow, half of whom ara ot foreign
birth, wero enthusiastic In enlisting. Ten or a
dozen men of German, Scandinavian, and Eng
lish birth refused to enlist Some of tho Ger
mans vehemently protested against shipping
with an American naval vessel. Tbey wore
sent away. The officers are all anxious for ser
vice. Capt Frederick P. Passow Is a Canadian
by birth. Tho other officers are J, Bradshaw,
chief officer; W. L. Grant senior second officer;
F. P. Crockett Junior second officer; 8. Keyos.
extra second officer; F. Turner, third officer; It
Cnmmlngs, fourth officer.
Chief Officer Bradshaw was born In England,
and a few years ago was n member of the Royal
Naval Reserve. He has had a bit of servlco on
warships at sea. Threo or four naval officers
will bo detailed to tbe New York, but the prac
tical running of tho ship will be In Capt Pas
sow's hands.
Tho Now York was built In England for the
old Inman line, and her plans were approved by
the British Admiralty. Her officers bellovo
that she Is better adaptod for con orslon Into a
cruiser than the St Louis and St Paul are.
Chief Officer Bradshaw callod TnE Sujr re
porter's attention to tbo fact thu, while tho
New York Is normally steered from her upper
deck. It Is possible to stoer her from a point
away down In tbs hold. Should a stray shell
carry away the upper steering machinery, the
ship could be immediately steered from below,
where no shot could penetrate. The rudder
bangs very low In the water, and would not
be damaged by rapid-fire guns. The en
gineers' cabins, along tbe aides, are so
built that the partitions can bo removed,
providing for protectlvo coal bunkers. This
ohango will not b) made now, as It would keop
tbe ship too long at her dock. The New York's
normal coal capacity Is 2,500 tons, but with her
hold free of cargo she will carry 4,000 tons of
coal, enough to take her acrors the Atlantic and
back again at good speed. She began taking on
coal yesterday morning and will be loaded to
day. Her rapid-fire and machine guns will
probably be mounted on board at tbo plor. Tbe
navy yard Is well filled now with skips fitting
for war. By Wednesday it is expected that the
Now York will bo scouting tbe open seas for
Spanish merchantmen. ,
Capt Caspar F. Goodrich, U. S. N., took
command of the St Louis at noon yesterday,
and the Captain's pennant was run up without
any ceremonies. Capt Goodrich had Just re
turned from Washington, where he received
instructions from the Navy Department as to
what was expected of the St Louis. What
those Instructions were Capt Goodrich would
not disclose. He said yesterday that be had
not received his sailing orders. It Is under
stood, howovcr, that tbe St Louis will sail
Tuesday morning. She will not be protected
by an armor belt now, but will receive a num
ber of rapid-fire and machine guns.
Tbe report that the St. Louis and New York
are to be sent out to meet tbo Paris Is discred
ited by the American lino officers.
"Tho Paris is in no more danger than if she
were here at the pier," said one of tho New
York's officers csterday, "Cant Watklns
would not havo ventured out with her if ho had
thought the company might lose hor. No Span
ish cruiser could catch her, and as for torpedo
boats, everybody knows tbey dare not ghe
chase In tho open sea. Tho headwinds of tho
past week would drive any torpedo boat to a
safe harbor. The Paris is half way across tbo
Atlantic now, and I wouldn't bo at all surprised
to hear that ebe was sighted at Fire Island
Tuesday night
" Do wo think we will have any trouble f Not
at all. Wo may have some lively brushes with
Spanish warships, but we will depend on our
heels In a tight place. With a good armament
of rapld-firo guns the Now York will be a terror
to torpedo boats. We will carry many more
and much heavier guns than the best of Spain's
torpedo boat destroyers, and we will haveja
steadier platform to shoot from. Why, the
Now York's guns would Blnk torpedo boats -it a
three-mile range, and v. hat chanoe would they
have ot sending torpedoes after us I But even
allowing for a cbanco approaob of a torpedo
boat within tho danger llnx, there's Spanish
gunnery to be considered. Naval men In Eng
land tell me the Spaniards csn't bit anything."
Every officer and overy man on tbe St Louis
enlisted In tho United Btatos Navy before Capt
Goodrich went aboard. The American line
officers aro William G. Handle, Captain; Thomas
0. Segrave, Chief Officor; O.K.BeckwItb, Sonlor
Second Officer; G. Luce, Junior Second Officer;
H. Campbell, Extra Second Officer; G. Smith,
Third Officer; W. Durgan, Fourth Officer. The
officers and men of both tho St, Louis and New
York, whllo tbe ships nro chartered by tbe Gov
ernment, will be paid halt again as much as
they have been paid, so The Sun reporter was
told by tho Now York's First Officer, He under
stood that the salaries would be paid by the
American line, and that this was Included in
tbe contract
LlsutA. W. Catllnof the Marine Corps was
ordered to the St Louis yesterday morning. He
was in command of the marines on the Maine
when she was blown up In Havana harbor. Af
ter tbo disaster he was hold at Key West, and a
few days ago bo was ordered to tbe Brooklyn
Navy Yard. Lieut. Catlln did not know that ho
was tooommand the marines on tbo St Louis
until the order was lstuod yesterday morning.
With twenty-five marines from the navy yard
he went aboard the St Louis at 2 o'clock. Tho
marines were at once posted about the ship ana

St. Louis do not believe any other naval officers
wilt be detailed to the ship.
All the St Louis's cargo was out of the shlpby
noon. Three barges were towed alongside
loadtd with coal. Last night several tboussnd
tons of coal had been taken on board In addition
to nil the etorta needed for a long cruise. This
morning more coal will be taken on board, nnd
the guns will be mounted by men from the

OLD OLOltT J.V ijytOOTCET.V.
Tbe Rational Colors Milne Ovitr rioines and
Hhopt Cuba's Rmblem In Domand,
Patriotism In Brooklyn, brought to a head by
the beginning of war, has manifested Itself In a
great outbreak of flags. Thero hare probably
never before boon so many editions of tbo Stars
and Stripes displayed In the borough as thoro
wero on Saturday, and that tho display was con
siderably less yesterday was duo to the rain and
tho desire of the populace to keep the banner
unspotted for future occasions. The flag of our
nation was not tho only ono displayed. There"
wero Cuban flags, too, nbout one to every ten ot
tbe Stars and Stripes. In almost every plaoo
where tho Cuban flag appeared It was flanked
by Old Qlory.
The business parts of tho borough blossomed
out first Stores put out their colors on staffs or
draped In tho windows, and many saloons orna
mented their plate glass with flags and patrlotlo
and warlike mottoes. Over the doorway of a
Fulton street cafo there poised, on Saturday
afternoon, an enormous stuffed eagle with the
national tricolor nbout Its neck, and tho motto
"Remember the Malno" In its beak. The resi
dence parts ot the borough soon came Into line.
Many of the streets looked as If every house
holder had brought a flag home with him. The
sound of pounding woe heard from roofs where
paterfamilias set out a flagstaff and an example
of patriotism to his progeny. Banners flew
from windows and were festooned above
doorways. Hundreds ot campaign flags were
unearthed from chests and trunks In
tbe garrets, denuded of their political
tage, and flung to tho air. In tbe flag stores
there was a lively rush of trade, and tho dry
goods shops sold largo quantities of cheesecloth
In red, white nnd blue to those who wished to
make their own decorations. By this class
many Cuban flags were turned out, as tbey are
far easier to make than tbe variegated emblem
of Uncle Sam. An uptown women's club con
sidered tho question of patriotism on Friday
and every Individual member pledged herself
that the houso wherein she lived should fly the
Stars and Stripes by Monday It she had to make
her own colors, and that she would use all hor
Influence to bring about a similar decoration of
other houses. If tho tendency Increases the
Brooklyn houso which does not show somo bit of
patrlotlo color will bo gloomily conspicuous.

Tampa, Fla,, April 2 1 Nearly a hundred

Thodopartureot the Spaniards was occasioned
by tbe celobration ot tbo Cubans hero on

endmore thin fifteen hundred men are prepared
to go to tbe Island when tho opportunity Is pre

fairly well drilled and equipped. They were
born in Cuba, and are thoroughly accli

who are boiling over with enthusiasm. They

have been published recently to the effect that
the Cubans were refusing to offer tbelr services

under United States officers, on account of

Finally tho Ifavy Department Sends Bom
or Them to n Uotel nnd Somo Stick to tn
Fall Rlter Beat 803 Men for the
Innkee Summoned, but Dismissed Again.
One hundred and six members of (he Massa
chusetts Naval Mllltla, who are toman the aux
iliary cruiser Pralrlo as soon as sho Is ready for
service, arrived In this city early yesterday
morning. Blxty-thrco of the mon came on tho
Fall Rlvor lino stenmer Prlsclllo, and tho other
forty-three, tho men nnd officers ot tho Soring
field Battalion, by tho Now Haven Railroad.
Tho men arrived here full ot enthusiasm and
ready for anything from a drill to n
fight Their ardor was somewhat dampened
when they loomed that absolutely no
arrangements had boen made for their
accommodation, ponding the completion ot tho
work on tho Pratrlo. Thoy went from place to
place all day long looking for somebody who
had authority to put them up. The Boston,
New Bedford and Springfield men wero finally
sent to tbe Hotel St George In Brooklyn at tho
expense ot the Govornment The Fall River
men wont back to tbe Prlsollla, whero thoy were
put up for the night.
The ordor for the detail came to Capt Weoks
of tho Massachusetts reserve so suddenly that
he had no tlmo to make very elaborate prepara
tions for the transportation of his men. From
tho Boston battalion ho got 10 men, from tho
Fall River battalion 80, and from the Now
Bedford battalion 18 men. These men were all
ordered to be ready for tho Prlscllla when sho
sailed on Saturday night Thoy had about
three hours to get their hammock sacks and
dunnage kits ready, and they managed to do it
The men at Springfield had been ordered to pre
pare to move on the midnight train for New
York. Lieut H. C. Crossman rounded up the
Springfield detail and brought them on without a
man missing. A great send-off was given to the
mon by tbelr follow townsmen.
Thero was no demonstration In Boston when
tho detachment from that city left but the resi
dents of Fall River made up for things, when
the Boston, New Bedford and Fall River men
marched to tbo Prlscllla's dock. There was the
wildest kind of a time.
The Prlscllla passed the navy yard at 0:30
o'clock yesterday morning on her way around
to her dock at tho foot of Murray street A
Government tng was watting for her and fol
lowed her around. Tbe tug took the reserves
off and carried them over to the navy yard.
The Massachusetts men were under the Impres
sion that the Prairie was all ready for them.
They were told that the Pralrlo was not ready
and that tbey could not board her at alL
Tbey asked It any arrangements for tbelr ac
commodation had been made and were told no.
So they departed and almost ate out one or two
Brooklyn restaurants. They then went back to
the navy yard to talk over tho situation. The
Fall River mon didn't return with the rest but
came over to this borough to connect with tho
Springfield men. The latter, meanwhile, had
gone over to the navy yard, where they met the
New Bedford and Boston men. Orders from
Washington had been received in the meantime
to put the detail up at some hotel, and at the
suggestion of Commodore Bunco the men went
to tho St George.
The Fall Rlvor men proceeded to the New
Hampshire, where tbey explained their friend
less condition to Capt Miller. Ho greeted the
men cordially, but told them It was out of the
question to put them upon tbo New Hampshire,
as ho was already crowded to the limit with his
own men. He ndvlscd them to go back to tho
Prlscllla and thoy did.
Tho Massachusetts men, all In uniform, were
all over town yestorday afternoon nnd last
night and their appearance was Invariably the
signal for applause. They are a stalwart lot
About twenty of tho men dined In a Hun
garian cafe" In Second avenue. The other diners
cheered them. Thero was a similar scene In the
Atlantic Garden on the Bowery, where a num
ber ot the men went, nnd tbe female orchestra
had to play the "Star-Spangled Banner" to get
in the running again.
Tho 203 men of the First Battalion, New York
Naval Mllltla, who are to man the auxiliary
cruiser Yankee, reported with their luggage on
the New Hampshire at 1 o'clock yesterday after
noon by ordor of Capt Jacob W. Miller. Capt
Miller had been Informed that the Yankee
would be ready for his men this morning, and
the men of tbe detail had been informed that
they had hotter prepare for a long stay away
from borne. They came aboard with dress suit
oases and grips, and looking a little glum
despite tholr enthusiasm. Thoy were pretty
happy to hear that tho Yankee will not be ready
until to-morrow and that thoy could go off on
leave.
Cant Miller told a Son reporter that he bad
no fresh orders and didn't expect any. The men
who are to man the Yankeo and Nahant ho
said, can be reached at any tlmo, and beyond
manning these two boats ho had no orders at
present
Tbere was a Urge crowd aboard the New
Hampshire all day yestorday. Thero were no
regular drills, but tbe men of tbo Signal Corps
practiced with flags and their electrlo lights nil
tbe afternoon. Capt Mlllor Is keeping the
signal men right at their work. It Is said that
a second detail from that corps will be ordered
to points on Long Island this week.
Commander W. II. Stayton of the Brooklyn
Battalion of the naval reserves yesterday or
dered tbe five divisions to report for duty at 1
o'clock this afternoon at the old Thirteenth
Regiment armory, on Flatbush avenue and
Hanson place. The order was respondod to at
onco and brought many members to tbe armory
last night Tbey remained until midnight
making final preparations. The members ex
pect to be assigned to patrol boats.
