GENERAL ROY STONE T0 HAVE CHARGE | Many Applications to Raise Regi- ments of Immunes. COLOREDCAVALRY REGIMENT General Miles regards is as specially im- Fortant in the appreaching campaign that the armies of invasion and occupation of Cuba be fully equipped with supplies and the most improved machinery for the con- struction of roads and railroads, and with experts in the use of such machinery and construction. In accordance with this view, and because General Roy Stone, director of the road inquiry bureau of the Agricul- tural Department, offered his services, General } 's recommended that his serv- ices be accepted. Secretary Wilson of the uItural Department heartily acqui- esced in the suggestion that the facilities Major General Sewell. Lhotogreph by Prince. of the road in y bureau be accorded the army, and General Stone is now installed fer temporary duty in the War Depart- ment. The A; ultural Department ows an outfit of road-making machinery, with which it has been experimenting with the state experiment stations in using to the best advantage the native road materia This outfit has been placed at the disposal of the War Department. Nothing definite will be done by General Stone until word is received from Col. Ludlow of the army en- gineer corps, who is now at Tampa, and who is being consulted as to what machin ery, etc., is ne ary. Regiments of Immunes. Already applications to raise regiments o* immunes under the recent legislation of Congr are being received at the War Department. Today Senator McEnery and Representative Robertson of Louisiana called at Secretary Alger’s office in the in- terest of J. C. Wickliff of Louisiana, who desires autrority from the department to proceed to enlist one of the special regi- ments. Mr. Wycliff has been at West Point for several rs. Dun H. Heod, a ted confederate general of also has requested permission of the “immune” regiments. Other persons who have volunteered to independent regiments are General ypher of this city and Colonel Hines. Some of the applicants are not only will- ing to raise regiments, but express their intention of fully equipping them for the service of the government. Senator Sewell of New Jersey, recently appointed major general of volunteers and igned to command the troops at Wash- ington, was again at the War Department He is still undecided as to whether he will finally accept the appointment of major general. He certainly will not if in doing so he is compelied to relinquish his seat in the Senate. The Sth Regiment of United States Cav- alry, scattered at various posts throughout Texas and with headquarters at Fort Sam Houston, has been ordered to proceed im- mediately to New Orleans. Later it will be sent to Cuba, although it is not yet set- tled whether or not the regiment will be part of the first expedition to the island. A Colored Cavalry Regiment. A movement is on foot to organize a cavalry regiment of colored volunteers, with Lieut. H. 0. Flipper as its colonel. Lieut. Flipper is one of the three colored men who were graduated from the West Point Military Academy. The other two were Messrs. Young and Alexander, both of Ohio. Mr. Alexander died a few years ago, while serving as military instructor at the Wilberforce University. He was succeeded in that office by Lieut. Young, who bears the distinction of being the only colered commissioned officer in the line of the army. He is still on duty at the uni- versity, although his regiment, the 25th Infantry, has bten ordered to Tampa for service in the Cuban campaign. Nearly all the other officers of the army on similar detached service have been ordered to join their commands. Lieut. Young appears, however, to have been overlooked in that respect, and the fact is the subject of considerable adverse comment on the part of the colored ele- ment. Lieut. Flipper, spoken of as a suitable commander of the proposed regiment, had yy a short service in the army. After duatingghe was assigned to duty at a stern army post, where, after a short service, he was court-martialed fer con- dvet unbecoming an officer and a gentle- man, and dismissed the service. Since then he lived for the most part of the time in New York, engaged in the work of a of the son Hygiene of the Mouth and Stomach. The great importance of attention to the Hygiene of the mouth and stomach is insisted upon by the Medical Profession. No _ better means can be adopted than the regular use of about a wineglassful of “APENTA” WATER on first rising in the morning. The mouth should be rinsed with it before drinking. “APENTA” THE BEST LAXATIVE. Oi all Druggists and Mineral Water Dealers, the movement for the organization of a eclered volunteer cavalry regiment. So far, however, his efforts have not been crowned with entire success. Assurances have been given him, it is said, that if the regiment is formed he will be assigned by the War Department to the command of Chief of Artillery. Brig. Gen. John L. Rodgers, the senior officer of the artillery branch of the army, was today appointed chief of artillery of the army and placed in charge of’ the heavy artillery of all the coast defenses. Until recently he was in command of tho Sth Artillery, stationed at Governor's Island, New York city, and he arrived in this city this mcrning under telegraphic orders from the War Department, and was officially notified of his assignment to the position indicated. The office of chief of artillery was created during the civil war, but was abolished at its conclusion. It was so successful in operation, how- ever, during that crisis that it has been deemed advisable to recreate it for the present war. As such officer, Gen. Rodgers will have immediate supervision of ail the land defenses along the coast. His work will be to see that guns are properly mounted at the various fortifications, prop- er machinery installed for operating them and that the proper number of men are de- tailed to man them. Unless present plans are changed, the entire coast will be ed into districts, each to be in command of an artillery officer, and all to be worked under the directions of Gen. Rodgers. os THE NAVAL PERSONNEL BILL. Officers Are Anxious for the Passage of the Measure. Commodore Dewey will undoubtedly be made a full rear admiral for his great achievement in the Bay of Manila, and Capt. Sampson may also be promoted to the same grade for the victory he is ex- pected to win in the West Indies. The sub- ordinate naval officers who will iake part in these engagemen annot, however, be rewarded in the same way. It has, there- fore, been suggested that ¢ owes it to them to pass the only bill they ge: iy desire for their betterment, na s0- called naval personnel bi the ders wh was first introduced in Congre without have been added since the bill The bill 1s now before the Ho: ittee on naval affairs, without any a nt pros- | fect of speedy action all compromise measure imperfect, Lut it is agr naval offi that it is the es d to Congress would add greatly to th oft he service.

Gladstone Slowly nking Home et Hawarden. LONDON, May 11.—A letter written by a member of Mr. Gladstone's family says the patient has not left his room for a fort- night. It adds: “It had been hoped he} might have some sense of enjoyment when the warm weather returned and turned the | whole earth into a garden, but the truth is he has taken leave of all portions of the earth. He is possessed with a sense of de- parture. His body, mind and soul ask for no food of any kind. “His one desire is for peace. He has| longer times of quiet sleep or rest with closed eyes than when the morphia treat- ment* began; but though he has consider- able physical strength he is unable to lis- ten to anything but a short message of one or two sentences. Even this is often an effort. He bas seen three or four friends outside of the family, but no conversations occurred, nothing but a farewell blessing for each of them.” —_—.—_—_ Retreat of American Missionaries, SIERRA LEONE, West Coast of Africa, May 11.—The missionaries belonging to the American Soudan mission have arrived here from the stations in the Marampa dis- trict, owing to the threatening attitude of the natives. at Hin ee Spaniards Under Surveillance. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 11.—The fifteen Spanish cigar mak2rs who were discharged by A. G. Dearengo for refusing to work un- der a Cuban flag are now under gurvaillance by United States secret service agents. ‘They are beli2ved to be spies and are sup- pcsed to have designs on the Austin pow- der mills of this city. MOVING TO <THE SEA Regulars at Chickamanga Park Start for Tampa -Today, WORK OF EMBARKATION THERE No Orders Received by the Troops at New Orleans. ——_>—___+ WESTERN TROOPS EXPECTED . CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., May 1i1.—Camp George H. Thomas at Chickamauga Park is rapidly undergoing demolition. At day- break this morning the work of breaking camp was begun by a number of the regi- ments, and in a few hours thereafter places which @4five been covered with white tents for some time were again vacant and de- serted. Officers and men of all regiments now re- maining are giving their time and attention to the preparations for departure and the regular routine of camp life has been en- tirely suspended. The first troops out were those of the 3d Cavalry. They were loaded on special trains at Rossville about ¢ o'clock and started through to Tampa over the Southern railway. The 6th Ca’ ‘3 got out a few hours later, going to Tampa over the same route. The lwo regiments are under the command of Gen. S. S. Sum- ner. The 2d Cavalry, under 1. Hunt, will probably get out for Mobile late this after- noon; and the Ist and 10th Cavalry, under Col Baldwin, will leave about the same time for New Orleans. Two of the infant regiments will 1» ch nine miles to Ring- gold and take cars for Tampa tomorrow morning. The three remaining will follow as rapidly as possible. The indications are new that all the comma with their equipments will be gene before Fri y noon. The contract for conveying the troops to Tampa ha: en divided between the Southern and Western and Atlantic. The Southern will ©: all destined for New Orle; The railroads are excellent nd are gi the every ance in rushing the treops out. ns and Mobile. d Loading the Transports. TAMPA, Fla., May 11.—Everything pos- sible is being done to facilitate the work of loading the transports at Port Tamp: with ammunition and supplies for the ex- pedition. All last night and all of today hundreds of men were kept busy unloading the war material from the freight cars and carefully stowing it away in the steamers. This part of the work will be practically concluded by tomorrow night and the ships now in the slip will drop anchor in the bay to make room for other transports. The Orizaba is expected up from quaran- tine tomorrow. This ig one of the largest transports engaged by the government and will be used for carrying infantry. A num- ber of Hotchkiss quick-firing and Gatling guns were loaded on the #lorida today. The big siege guns, four of which ar- rived here, have not yet peen unloaded from the cars. They; will, be loaded on ome of the larger vessels, probably the Jamo or Orizaba. Lient. Miley Returns. Lieut. J. D. Miley of Gen, Shafter’s staff, who Was Sent to Washington Saturday with the reports of Capt. Dorst.and Lieut. Col. Lawton and the plans for the Cuban eam- paign, returned today bearing with him a big bundle of maps and.documents, and im- mediately reported to Gen. Shafter. It is now believed that the two Cuban regi- ments will accompany the regular troops to Cuba. They have all been armed with Springfield rifles and under almost inces- ent drilling are rapidly being pounded into shape. No Orders io Move From Mobile. MOBILE, Ala., May 11.—In the camps of the regulars and volunteers all is quiet. No orders to move have been received at elther camp, although the officers are look- ing for same at any moment, and are ready to go to the front promptly. With the regulars and state troops combined, there are 5,000 men encamped here. Awaiting News at New Orleans. NEW ORLEANS, La., May 11.—Officers at the fair grounds of both the regular and volunteer forces are waiting anxiously for some news confirmatory of the press dis- patches intimating that troops are to be} sent hence to Cuba very shortly. If any orders have been received, however, they have not yet been given out. The work of mustering the Louisiana guards is pro- gressing rap{dly, and the regiment of vol- unteers is also steadily being increased In numbers. ‘The announcement that Iowa, Illinois and Indiana troops have been ordered to New Orleans has stirred the officers at the fair grounds to activity, and preparations are being made for the encampment of the western troops, provided that they are to remain here for any length of time before taking transports for the islands, The grounds and accommodations here are am- ple for the several thousand troops that have been ordered to New Orleans. Ss SOCIETY MEN WITH ROOSEVELT. They Will Take Equal Chances With the Cowboys. SAN ANTONIO, Texas, May 11.—Three hundred and forty cowboys from New Mex- ico and thirty-nine society leaders from a AO if U.S—“WHERE BE THEY” ~*~ New York are the latest acquisitions to Roosevelt's Rough Riders. Among the men from the east are Craig ‘Wadsworth, one of the best polo players in America; Basil Ricketts, a son of the late Gen. Ricketts, who has served a two years’ apprenticestip on a Colorado cattle ranch; Hami!ton Fish, jr., another noted polo player; Horace Devereaux of Colorado Springs and the Princeton feot ball team; William Tiffany of New York, a social fa- vorite and a leader of cotillions, but who can boast of a long experience on western ranch and range; Kenneth Robinson of the Knickerbocker Club; Reginald Ronalds, half back in the Yale foot ball team, and Hollister, the Harvard sprinter. There will be about fifty of these college end club men in all, but their wealth and influence will secure them no special coti- sideration in the regiment. One of them may get a lieutenant’s commission and two or three are likely to ne mad» non-com- missioned officers, but the rest will serve as troopers on a perfect equality with the rest of the men. ees NAVAL ORDERS.

THREE PERISH IN FLAMES, Wholesale Toy House in Philadelphia Burns This Morning. PHILADELPHIA, Pa. May 11.—Three persons are known to hav? lost their lives, and it is feared that others may have per- ished in a fire which originated in the wholesale toy and fireworks establishment of McCadden Brothers, 619 Market strect, about 11 o'clock today. The bodies of the three persons who were burned to death are so badly charred that even the sex can- not now be learred. There was about 100 persons employed in the McCadden store, and nearly all man- aged to make their escape before the flames reached the upper floors. The three bodies were found on the second floor of the burned structure. The loss amounts to about $50,000. ——_s——— TO CONTRIBUTE A BATTLE SHIP.
