As it is now, we can easily see in our mind’s eye the wild scramble that will ensue during this hour in the morning. From former experiences, when values not so great were offered, we couldn't find it possible to wait upon every one, the tush was so immense. z " We want to ask every one who expects to share in this shirt waist offering to be here promptly during the hour specified—we cannot possibly sell them at this ridiculously low price any longer than the one hour.

T Si THE COMPEPIMIVE DRILL OF 1098 Wild Scenes of Enthusissm Over Decision: of Judges. THE SECOND HONORS ee There is joy in the Central High School, for, after an absence of three years, the prize flag of the cadet regiment again hangs proudly in its armory. Company A won the trophy yesterday afternoon, and its drill was so much superior to the other exhibitions that the judges’ decision was anticipated by nearly every one who had seen the eight companies maneuv2r. A protest was entered against Company H of the Western High School for not en- tering a full company, but it is said this protest had no part in the judges’ final decision. The scene at the base ball park yesterday afternoon was a repetition of that of Tues- day, The crowd of spectators was slightly increased. It is estimated that when the dress parade took place at the close of the competition fully 7,000 people were crowded in the grand stand and on the bleachers. The colors of the seyeral com- panies were everywhere to be seen. The Central “rooters” were much more in evi- dence than they were the day before, and Capt. Young, Co. A. the dark blue and white of the school might be seen waving in the air every- where the eye rested. In the center of the stand, however, the main mass of Cen- tral enthusiasts was gathered, ani here the stand was decorated with blue and white bunting, flags and banners. It was in fact a Central day, for all four com- panies of the Ist Battalion belong to that school. Company A,~Captain Young, has been working hard’*of late, but the boys kept quiet and made no boasts of what they would do in ‘the competitive drill. The proficiency of the company was not, there- fore, generally known until the men march- ed vpon the field. | That Company A won the flag and .medals fairly no one will deny, and the most partisan rooter from the other schools did not dare utter a pro- test against the decision of the judges, ‘aptain Lemly, Lieutenant Pearce and Lieutenant Newbill of the United States army. Last, but Not Least. Company A was the last of the eight to dri. When it réached the fleld it was after 6 o'clock. |The spectators were nat- urally a little fatigued, considering the drills of the afternoon and the day be- fore, and the excitement was so intense over the forthcoming» decision of the judges that the drill Captain Young’s men put up was not fairly appreciated. The boys went itno the contest as follows: Cap- tain Young, Lieutenants Costigan and Al- den, Sergeants Robertson, I. C. Norwood, B. J. McCormick, E. R. Schafer and A. L. Clark, Corporals R. D. Black, C. H. Taylor, Cc. H. Warner and W. B. MeKelden and Privates J. B. Hoge, W. W. Thorpe, J. C. Temple, C. Wenger, Durden, Gilmore, Ot- gen. Holmes, Noland, Holman, Deolin, Seltzer, Duncan, Bosch, Henry, Adams, Peatross, Page, Manard, Plumbley, Petti- grew, Johnston, Ford, Jones, Corbett, New- ton, Simpson, Royee, Miller, West, Fung and Bayly. The Central boys and girls had yelled themselves hoarse for thetr first three com- panies, but when A came on they gathered up their fast etbing enthusiasm and gave some mighty cheers for the lads. An elas- Ue step and rapid execution of preliminary mansuvers first called attention to the young soldiers. Company A was enthusi- astie, but not dangerously overconfident. The command went into the drill for all it was worth, and earned the honors of the 1598 drill. With the exception of one or two rather scattering volleys, th drill of the company was above criticism. Capt. Young went through the program without a noticeable mistake, while his men executed thelr orders with precision and a snap that won them continual applaus:>. The manual of arms was gone through without an Individual blunder, and the field movements were executed almost perfectly. The first two company volleys fired sounded like the report of one big gun. The next voliey was a little ragged, however. In firing at will and kneeling Company A’s soldiers were excellent. Their firing from a lying posture was not of the best, however. Only in these few particulars did the drill of the Central's cracks lack. The Central students went wild with delight as the drill of the company progressed and it was seen that it was nearing the end of ‘the program without a mistake marked against it. When the men were finally through and were marched to salute the judges the Cen- tral’s enthusiasm was unbounded. Effort of Company B. The first compahy of the afternoon to go through the drill program was Company B, Capt. Everman. This company is made up mostly of the little fellows of th> school, some of the boys in its ranks seeming too small to carry a big army gun. The little fellows put up a fairly creditable drill, how- ever, and were lustily cheered. On2 of the boys dropped his gun, another his cap, and there were many such individual breaks that operated thst the company. The roster is as foltows: ‘Capt. Everman, Lieuts. S. K. Karples‘and M. B. Stewart, Sergts. P. O. Frost, HR. Johnson, F. A. Dennison, . Johnson and Jewett, Corps. R. L. Will iems, M. A ker, W. H, Wolverton and H. M. Howe, and. vates. Paschal, Kerr, , Bateman, Conger, Chapin, Duvall, Doing,’ Do@frey, Holl , Hirth, Renaud, John, Meinew, Mari@ellsr, Stet- son, Schwarz, Spaujding, Van Mater, Woog, Whitson, Fogarity,, Drayton, Rogers and Watts. bebty Capt. Whetiler’s Command. Company D,'Capt, Wheeler, drilled next. The field movpments of D were excellent throughout, and their firing was quite good, both in volleys and ‘at will, kneeling and ly- ing. Capt. Hodvet! was the first command- ing officer to Ife down with his men whil they fired from that position. Once only he seemed a trifle mixed over his program and halted the company for several seconds. The last volley fired was short, too, many of the men falling to pull their triggers or being minus ammunition. On the whole rill_ ranked among the best perf year. The command was as follows: Capt. Hooyer, Lieuts. Stor- and Gerry, Sergts. Shuter, Merwin, tumble. The roster of the company follows: Capt. B and Murphy. ul, Heyiman. Bou foillier, F a con, Heath, Hood: James, Lerch Dein, Mek ning, Melay, Moulton, Newton, Ni Or- Ramskill, The Dress Parade. Company A followed Company C, with the result already stated. As this last com- pany marched from the center of the field the other seven companies of the regiment marched into deep center field where their arms had been stacked, the Mount Pleasant Field Band emerged from behind the score board and the annual dress parade of th2 cadets took place. The cheering of the crowd was immense. -Col. Pipes took up his Position in front of the regiment and as- sumed command. After the band had marched in revisw, playing the national aire, the judges appeared on the field. The Gecision had been made. Reviewing the parade from the field were District Commissioners Wight and Black, Major Moore of the police department, Mr. Allison Natlor, donor of the two medals for which the companies annually drill; Major Ross, military instructor, and Dr. Lane of the High Schools. A Moment of Suspense. After the regiment had been drilled in the manual of arms by Colonel Pipes, the judges stepped up to him and announced their decision. The colonel called one of his aids and dispatched him to the com- manding officer of the lucky company. The silence was unbroken. Straight toward the center of the regiment the officer marched. If he turned to the right the trophy went to either Company G or the Eastern or Com- pany H of the Western; if to the left, the flag belonged to one of the Central com- panies. To the left he turned, and then pandemonium broke loose among the Cen- tral rooters. The flag was theirs. The heretofore noisy Georgetown contingent was hushed and silent. Down the line of companies the aid marched, until he stood before the last company to the left—Com- pany A. Another mighty shout broke forth from the Centrals. Captain Young marched his company be- fore the reviewing officials, receiving a magnificent greeting. Captain Lemly, pres- ident of the board of judges, presented Cap- tain Young with the prize banner, while Colonel Black of the army presented the captain with the Allison Nailor medals— one large one, the property of the District, the other a smaller fac-simile, which re- mains the property of the winning captain. The men of Company A took their place in the line again, and the drill of 1898 was at an end. Protest Entered. The captains of the different companies entered a protest against Company H on the grounds that the full organization was not entered in the drill. It is claimed that Company H has five fours and only four fours were entered in the contest. The judges took the protest under consideration, but refused to say whether or not it had any weight with them in making up their decision. It is the general opinion that second hon- ors of the drill are divided between Com- pany G and Company H. The latter com- pany won the prize last year, and was look- ed upon in advance as a sure winner at this drill. —_>—__ PRAISE FOR LIEUT. ROWAN. Gen. Miles Says That He Performed an Act of Rare Daring. In recommending to Secretary Alger that Licutenant Rowan, who recently made a trip to Cuba for the War Department, be promoted to a lieutenant colonelcy General Miles had the following to sa: “I also recommend that First Lieutenant Andrew S. Rowan, 19th United States In- fantry, be made a lieutenant colonel of one of the regiments of immunes. Lieuten- ant Rowan made a journey across Cuba, was with the insurgent army under Gen- eral Garcia and brought most important and valuable information to the govern- ment. This was a most perilous undertak- ing, and in my judgment Lieutenant Rowan performed an act of heroism and cool dar- ing that has rarely been excelled in the annals of warfare.” The officers of General Gafcia’s staff who came to Washington with Lieutenant Row- an for conferences with General Miles were Brigadier General Enrique Collezo and Lieutenant Colonel Carlos Hernandez. They are rendering valuable assistance to the general in his study of the conditions in Cuba preparatory to the invasion of that country. Lieutenant Rowan’s story of the main incidents of his trip and of what he saw in Cuba and of his arrival at the is- Jand and departure therefrom in an open boat already has been told. General Gar- cia, he says, with his army of §,000 armed men, is in that part of the island east of the trocha. There are 15,000 more men ready to take arms whenever they can be supplied. When Lieutenant Rowan and his companions were less than one day out on the trip from the island to Nasseau they sighted Admiral Sampson's squadron of twelve ships, but apparently were not ob- served, as no notice appeared to have been taken of them. ee ae ge ee TO INCREASE EXISTING REGIMENTS. Will Be Raised by Volunteers to the Required Numerical Strength. It was announced by Adjt. Gen. Corbin today that the War Department had not yet arranged the quota of the various states of the seventy-five thousand volun- teers called for by the President. It migat be several days, he thought, before the question was taken up for tinal decicion, as it was deemed desirable to complete the mvstering and assignment of the volun- teers under the first call, before beginning upcn the second. One thing seems pretty well settled. A large majority of the men mustered under the call issued yesterday will be assigned to regiments already in the service. There are one hundred and nineteen voluntesr regiments now, and some of them are below the required numerical strength. It is the Intention of the War Department officials to follow the law to the letter and recruit existing regimental organizations up to the maximum strength. Under the present three battalion formation a regi- ment consists of twelve companies, the meximum strength of each company being 83 enlisted men. It is expected that a sood many of the volunteers who have already been mustered into the Uaited States ser- vice will, for various causes, drop out of their regiments during the next two or three months, Calculations made at the War Department indicate that it will re- quire from 35,000 to 50,000 men to recruit the regiments up to the standard required. It is essential to the efficiency of a com- pany or regimental organization that it have approximately the maximum number of men at all times. It is quite likely, therefore, that from the 75,000 volunteers just called for, not more than thirty or thirty-five peeupents will be formed. Close adherence by the War De- partment to the law governing the recruit- ing and organization of regiments will, of course, disappoint many gocd men who wculd like to serve Uncle Sam as line offi- cers, but that it will result in the better- ment of the service the War Department officials have no doubt. ‘The enlistments are to be thrown open; much as they were at the outbreak of the civil war, and are not to be restricted to the militia and National Guard organizations of the several states. It will be an encour- agement to the organization of independent volunteer companies and regiments. These will retain their identity, to a certain ex- tent, as state troops, as the governors will have the appointment of all company and regimental officers, lode only the brigade, division, corps and staff officers will be ap- pointed by the President. While the adjutant general's office has not yet undertaken to make up the quotas of the several states, the following gives an approximate estimate of, the state quotas: Woodward “a4 Loth rop, roth, rith and F Sts.
