FINAL . ORDERS PREPARED ———— By Special Wire. The Evening Star Headquarters, Camp Washington, FORT WASHINGTON, Md., June 17, 1897. The outlook at reveille on the day set apart for the visit of the Commissioners of the District of Columbia to Camp. Wash- ington was hardly propitious. During the morning ominous clouds overcast the sky, id the chances were evenly divided be- tween raimtali and a clear-up. Later, how- ever, the sun seemed to be asserting thé master hand, and the indications were that the camp would be favored with perfect weather. Nothing out of the ordinary was noticeable during the day in the way of preparations for the coming of the distin- guished visitors. The Commissioners ac- cepted the invitation to visit camp extended yesterday by General Ordway, through Capt. Alfred P. Robbins of his staff, and they were scheduled to leave Washington at 2:80 o'clock this afternoon on the steam launch Bartholdi, accompanied by Major George H. Harr.es, serving 4s the pefsonal represeniative of General Ordway. Upon reaching Fort Washington, the formal wel- come t tne Commissioners will be in the torm of the governor's salute of seventeen suns and the turning oat of the extenor and provost guards. A‘lér bemg received by the commanding general, tne Comm.ss.oners will witness au exh nm drul by the zd Battalion, with b, Ist Battalion, attachea. ; Kichard A. O’Brien w.ll be in com- , with Capt. E. C. rdwards command- mg Company A, Capt. Eagar A. Smiling commanding Company B, Capt, Charles 5. Domer commanding Company U and Capt. Charies 5. Shreeve commanding the Ist Gattahon Company. Company DL, Sth Bat- talion, will tien be mounted as provost guard, after which the Comm-sstoners wil be escorted to the parade ground to wit- ness oress parade and the ceremony of passing in review before the colors. They will depart for the city shortly after the evening ceremony. ngincer Commissioner Black will wear the full dress uniform of a captain of en- gineers, U. S. A. The day was an unusually quiet one in camp. Company C, 4th Battalion, was mounted as exterior guard in the mor and from 9 till 11 oclock the Ist and Regiments organized as battalions, and also the First Separate Battalion maneuv- ered in extended order drill. Company drills, because of the heat, were suspended this afternoon. Major Otto G. Simonson of the 5th Bat- taliom is acting as field officer of the day with Fir utenant Degroot of Company D, 2d Battalion, as officer of the day for the Ist Regiment, and Capt. J. M. Wil- liams, Company D, 4%h Battalion, acting in a similar capacity for the 2d Regiment. A heavy thunder storm passed over camp shortly after dress parade last evening. Thjs has become a daily occurrence. Rain fell in torrents for some time, and of the large number of visitors but few escaped without a wetting. The attendance through- out the camp and at dress parade has in- creascd steadily from day to day, and yes- terday by far the lergest crowd of the out- ing was on the grounds. That the camp is r: clese is plainly felt at Fort Washington. General orders No. 11 were framed this afternoon, providing for the breaking of camp and the departure for the city. The mest interesting feature of the orders is that th- trocps will probably reach Wash: ington about. 10:30 or 11 o'clock Saturday merning, and that there will be no parade after reaching the city. The trvops will be dismissed at the steamboat wharf and will proceed to their resnective armories ny order their commanding Cflicers ay see fit to adopt. he remem! ed that on reaching the city after the cl of the camp two years ago the ceremony of dress parade and passing in review be- fore the colors was held on the White Lot. idly drawing to a in The Final Touches.

Loud reports, as though a bloody strife was in progress, resounded throughout the camp about noon today. There was no oc- casion for alarm, however, for the neise was the explosion of signal torpedoes plac- ed on the railroad track. Mr. Walter Brooks, the appointment clerk of the pension office, and his daughter dined in camp yesterday as the guests of Capt. James E. Beall, inspector of rifle practice. Company B, the construction company of the enginecr battalion, this afterncon com- pleted the prefile of a one-gun battery to command the sweep of the river north of River View.

General Ordway, riding in a buggy, made i ectior. of the camp this afternoon, nied by Captains Chase, Heyl, Slo- {udson and Broome and an orderly. Davidge, judge advocate general, and Captains Robins and Riggs, aids-de- cemp, left this morning to be of the party of officers that will escort the District Com- missioners to Fort Washington. The most notable day of the camp, so far as the Ist Battalion is concerned, was yes- terday. Col. William G. Moore, Capt. Mat- thew Goddard, Capt. Breitbarth, Capt. Ebert, Capt. Allison Nailor, and several others, all of whom are now, or have been ccnnected with the W. L. I. Corps, which is the distinctive name of the Ist Battalion, visited the corps as guests of honor, and they were received right royally. Col. Moore and Capt. Goddard were, until re cently, colonel and quartermaster, respec- tively, of the Ist Regiment, both tendering their resignations, to take effect May 2. Cel. Moore has always been popular with the guardsmen, especially thoge directly urder Lis command, and the ovation ten- dered yesterday was from the heart. When the Ist Battalion and the invited guests proceeded to the mess tent for din- Tr, Maj. Ross, in a few words, introduce1 Col. Moore as a matter of form, and the latter assured the members. of the bat- talion that he was more than glad to be with them. The occasion, he continued, will be regarded as a reunion, and he ex- pressed the hope that every one would act in accordance therewith. The dinner served was somewhat elabor- ate for camp, the menu including vegetable sCup, roast lamb with mint sauce, pork and beans, tomato sauce, green peas, mashed Potatoes, asparagus with cream sauce, stewed tomatoes, sliced tomatoes with mur- ton dressing, lettuce salad, rice pudding with wine sauce, claret and other liquids. The meal was artistically served, and was prepared by Clayton Mitchell ‘and Will Newman, under Charles L. Beatty, who is acting as com- missary of the battalion. Respects to Gen. Ordway. After dinner, Col. Mocre inspected the camp, being entertained at the several bat- talion and regimental headquarters. The officers paid their respects to General Ord- way during the day. The visitors witness- ed guard mount and dress parade, and de- parted for home on the evening boat, ex- pressing themselves as highly pleased with Camp Wasnington and all that pertained thereto. In supplying meals for the 900 men, ap- proximately, who are in camp at Fort Washington, the officers of the quarter- master’s department and their assistants cut a very large figure indeed. Visitors to whom the hospitality of the mess has been extended, in thinking over the condition of things, may or may not give consideration to the question involving the source of the supplies served by the quartermasters. It is all very well and good to sit down to a table and partake of a steaming hot break- fast, dinner and supper, and, after rising, congratulate the quartermaster, who acted as host, on the excellence of the meals. ne quartermasters must be supplied be- fore the men can be provided for, and the source and manner of issuing the stores to them forms quite an interesting litue story. The Push Batton. ‘The commissary department is the push button that controls the operations of the mess battery, so to speak. At the head of this department is Major E. H. Neumeyer, the commissary general of the District of Columbia militia, who has for an assistant, Brigade Commissary Sergt. Pinkney W- Smith. Maj. Neumeyer, in addition to be- ing one of the most popular, untiring, en- ergetic and hardest-worked officers of the brigade, is a man of wide experience in the particular line under discussion. On his shoulders rests a responsibility that is really appalling when given serious consid- eration. Nine hundred healthy and hungry guards- men must be fed, and bountifuliy, too, three times daily, at stipulated hours. If for any reasen the meals, to relapse into camp slang, should not be “coming up” promptly on time and in proper shape, a mighty howl would immediately arise of far greater import than mere indignation. The nine hundred hungry guardsmen would not tuke into consideration the de- lay of the steamer in transporting freight on time, or the failure of a business firm in Washington to make proper shipment of goods. The commissary general must be prepared at any and all times for every possibie emergency that may arise. It is easy to realize that to successfully cope with the situation is a mighty task. For instance, as much as ninety gallons of milk, which arrived by steamer ycster- day pure and fresh, was soured and ren- dered wholly useless, practically fn an in- stant, by the severe thunder storm. The surrounding circumstances would not ap- pease the cooks and the men, however. They must have milk for the cooking and for the coffee. Out of the entire brigade Maj. Neumeyer was the one man who had to face the dilemma. The Star Right There. Right there the private telegraph line of The Evcning Star performed good service, and did a great deal toward satisfying the demands of the inner man of the brigade. ‘Through the courtesy of The Star, Maj. Neumeyer was able to transmit an order to Washington for more milk. He wrote the order at ten minutes after 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and at twenty minutes before @ o'clock, one hour and thirty minutes Jater, the milk was being unloaded on the wharf at Fort Washington. Major Neumeyer, though then commis- sioned as chief of , acted as com- missary general at camp two years ago. the direction of Capt. | He earned an enviable reputation at that time, and during the present outing has added many more laurels. The commissary department and its workings at Fort Washington are a thorough success. ‘That means that Major Neumeyer is a very near approach to the ideal in the way of a com- missary director. Nothing but compliments travel his way. The headquarters of the commissary de- partment of the National Guard at Fort Washington are located in what is known as the barracks. This is a long building just at the head of the hill leading from the wharf and near the old fort. Therein Major Neumeyer holds forth. He eats there und sleeps there—if he sleeps—and,, works there. Major Neumeyer has been “known to labor constantly the greater part of twenty-four hours in a single day. >All his estimates are made ahead, and things must be figured down very closely, or there would be waste or want. At 5 o'clock every morning Major Neumeyer and Sergt. Smith are ready for businesa; and they have all of it thrust upon them! that would give to most folks an attack! of wWervous prostration. t Report With Hand Girt; Early in the morning the battalion quar- termgsters, with their assistants drawing hand carts, report at the barratks Hind re- celve a certain amount of stores. In issu- ing the provisions and other, edibles the morning reports of each battalion, secured from the adjutant general's offiée, are called into requisition. Provisfons are is- sued for the number of men shown on the report to be present, with an addition of 15 per cent, as an allowance for the cooks and waiters and extra men who might re- port for duty since the filing of the report. Each quartermaster must give a receipt for what he draws. ‘This precaution is taken mainly to protect the commissary general against complaints which might be made later regarding the quantity of goods turned over to the battalion. : In order to properly take care of the vast amount of perishable stores controlled by him, Major Neumeyer has at the barracks a storage room, 18 feet long by 12 feet wide and 8 feet high, inside measurement. This refrigerator works beautifully, and without it the commissary department would be at a great disadvantage. As an example of what is required to feed the brigade, the following small order was this afternoon sent to Washington by the com- missary general: 1,200 pounds of beef, 820 pounds of lamb, 35 beef shins, 40) pounds beef liver, 350 pounds of fresh pork, 200 pounds of corned pork, 840 pounds of corned beef, 10 barrels of cabbage, 2,000 pounds Irish potatoes, 300 bunches of car- rots, 50 dozen parsley, 0 pounds of cream- ery butter, 8 tons of ice, 90 gallons of milk and 700 loaves of bread. “These are merely a few of the things I thought I nnght need for today,” explained Major Neumeyer to The Star correspond- ent, who was looking up the detafls of the workings of the commissary department. List of the Sick. The joini report of Capt. R. A. Pyles and First Lieutenant R. A. Foster, post sur- Zeons. submitted to the surgeon general today, was as follows: Sergeant W. E.

First Lieutenant T. L. Upshaw, surgeon of the First Separate Battalion} in ‘his re- port as medical officer of the'day' for the twenty-four hours ending at 8, o'clock this morning, said: i) “After a careful tour of the campi found that police duty had been elégantiy per- formed by the several commgndy, The streets were nicely cleaned, tems were properly looped and the sanitat¥ condition generally good.

Capt. Edgar A. Shilling of the Morton Cadets has been notified that the proposed change of rules for the interstate competi- tive drill at San Antonio, Texas, beginning July 17, has been abandoned by the man- agement, owing to the positive protest of several companies, which are not willing row to add anything to the manual which was eliminated from the original rules promulgated by the judges. As the rules staal, extended order, bay- onet and setting-up exercises are elim- inated. As these features are among the most. attractive movements in the driil, it was thought by the judges that they should not be omitted. However, the de- termination was reached too late to justify the change. Maneger Irvine telegraphed all the interstate companies Friday night, notifying them of the proposed change, ind askirg whether it was satisfactory. The replies, including that of Captain Shilling, were unanimous egainst the adop- tion of the proposed chang QrC ee IMPORTANCE OF HAWAII. The Known History and Commercial Positio: Area and Population, From the New York Times. The Hawaiian Islands, or as they are more popularly known, the Sandwich Is- lands, according to the name given them on their discovery by Capt. Cook in 1778, are the most important Polynesian group in the North Pacific. They were named after the Earl of Sandwich, who was first ‘lord of the admiralty at the time of their discovery. Capt. Cook estimated the popu- lation to be 400,000, and American mission- aries placed it in 1823 at 142,000. The Hawatian Islands are thirteen in number, eight being inhabited. They are of coral and volcanic formation. As they are on the route between the United States, South America, China and Australasia, they are in the center of Cen- tral Pacific trade. Honolulu, on the Island of Oahu, is about 2,100 miles from San Francisco, which is only a few hundred miles less than the distance from the most western point of Ireland to New York. From Honolulu to Auckland, New Zealand, 10 miles; to Yokohama, 3,440; to Hong- , 4,893. ‘The first Hawaiian annexation treaty was signed in the spring of 1893, during the last hours of President Harrison's admin- istration. Later it was withdrawn from the Senate and pigeonholed. The revenue of the government in 3890 was a little over half a million of- dollars, derived chiefly from customs duties, taxes on real and personal property, and a poll tax. But the receipts do not balance the expenditures, and there has been a grow- ing national debt, which now amounts to considerably over $2,000,000. The financial statistics published at the close of 1896 make rather a better show- ing than those of previous years, being as follows: Imports, 186 Exports, 1895. ‘The latest Hawaiian census was com- pleted February 8, 1807, and is as follows Fernale Hawatian Tert Haw American British Portug) tion there Norwegians, South Sca Islander: resentatives of other nationalitie Me tal number of persons is 100,020, as aga 101,661 in 189 5 in 1878, and 5t 1sT3. . It will be noticed that the Japancse head the foreign population, coming next to the native Hawalians, while the Chinese are a clcse third. 4 The Japanese have become an important factor during the last ten years, their numbers having incre to 24,407 in 1806. They treaty with the Hawaiian government 1871. This provides that the citizens of one country shail have uninterrupted right to enter into, reside, and trade in the other, and shall have all the rights and privileges enjoyed by the people of any other country under treaty stipulations with Japan. The annexation of Hawai to the United States would abrogate thi treaty, while the one between the Unite! States and Japan would be in effect in the islands. ; The development of the foreign population cnd the falling off of the natives are i)- lustrated by the following table: 2 Census 1s78.

Ac- ————— INSANE FROM MOSQUITO BITE. Peculiar Case of Carmine Lepre, a New York Boot} k. NEW YORK, June 17.—The bite of a mosquito was the cause of a man being sent to the insane pavilion at Bellevue Hospital today. Carmine Lepre, a bootblack, forty-two years old, a few days ago was bitten on the hand by a mosquito. He scratched it until it bled. A few hours after the hand began to swell and continued to do so un- til it was almost twice its natural size. The swelling extended to the arm, and there were red streaks under the skin. The hand and arm were rubbed with lini- ment, but the swelling did not abate. Le- pre began to experience excruciating pains in his hand and arm and the swelling extended to his breast. Then a physician was called in, and it was found that Lepre was suffering from blood poisoning. The doctor said that an operation would be necessary and that probably the arm would have to be am- putated. It was arranged that the hand and arm would be cut open today. Last evening Lepre took to his bed and began to act irrationally, He was trans- ferred to Bellevue Hospital. This is perhaps the first case on record where a person was rendered insane from the bite of a mosquito. ———__ Lawn Party. ‘Wednesday evening a lawn party was opened by the Young Folks’ Social Ciub of Washington at the “Best Mansion,” Tako- ma Park.
