PREPARATIONS NOW IN PROGRESS A Distribution of Clothing and Various Supplies. GENERAL ORDERS ISSUED Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. CAMP ALGER, Va., May 25, 2:30 p.m— President McKinley, Secretary Alger and others of the President's official familly will review the volunteers of the second army corps Saturday afternoon next. So much has been decided by Col. Wilson and Major General Graham, commanding Camp Alger. he corps commander and his chief of aff, Major Heistand, spent the morning in locating a suitable parade ground for the ceremony. One was finally discovered about a mile south of the corps headquar- ters, near the ground row occupied by the 6th New York junteers. A general re- view in preparation for the ceremony of Saturday afternoon will take place tomor- row, in order that the troops may make the best showing possible when being in- pected by the commander-in-chief of the my and nav The review of tomorrow afternoon will be informal, but will, never- theless, embrace every feature of the par- which is to take place a day later. General Graham and his staff are now busily engaged in perfecting the details of 1. It is proposed that the x) nee of tomorrow afternoon will con- tribute to make the drill of the day fol- lowing a great success, nowithstanding the brief service of mest of the men engaged. This afternoon all the acting brigadier generals in command of the several bri- gades, created by the order of Tuesday, will have the regiments under their direction go h the maneuvers which will make up sreater part of the review. The quar- ter and ordnance officers of the se’ erai commands are making every effort to have the equipments of the troops as com- plete as possible. General Graham and his brigadiers are accordingly confident that the review of Saturday will be creditable in every respect. urgeons Called Together, tomorrow's Continuing the investigation noted in The Star of yesterday, Colonel Girard called to- ne surgeons of the several brigades morning at headquarters. Each one since the meeting of yesterday gone had thoroughly over all the ground undes his direction. The general opinion was that the hospital corps was now as well organ- ized as any other feature of the camp, and that the ‘k or ailing would fare as well at Camp Alger as at any regular army field camp in the United States. Colonel Girard was particularly emphatic In directing his aids to see that every precaution possible is taken to prevent the spread of conta- gious diseases, such as measles. Colonel Girard thought the establishment of division hospitals offered the best solu- tion to the problem of caring for many men with s ufficient equipments. He there- fore directed that the three assistant sur- geons should ect their energies toward securing cots, blankets, medicines and food sufficient to maintain a hospital of greater size than any now on the ground. It is still Colonel Girard’s intention to have patients suffering from acute diseases sent to Fort Myer, but the plan he proposed will relieve the regimental surgeons of the overwork to which they have been subjected since the arrival of the troops. Rain Interrupts Drill. Rain prevented the battalion and regi- mental drills which would otherwise have taken place early this afternoon. This was deemed as especially unfortunate’ in view of the prospective reviews of tomorrow afternoon and Saturd: The regiméntal and brigade commanders will, however, en- deaver to make up for the loss of time this afternoon by extended battalion and regimental parades this evening. It may be stated, however, that the practice drill of tomorrow afternoon will take place, un- less the weather is particularly bad, as Gen Graham is anxious that the Secor Army Corps shall make as good a show possible. Considerable attention was directed toward the 6th Massachusetts yesterday afternoon, the occasion being an old-fashioned flag raising. Representative Sprague of Massa- chusetts had presented the regiment Mon- day with a large flag. Yesterday a flag pole was erected, and in the afternoon Rep- resentative McCall, Col. Woodward and ethers of the regiment conducied appropri- ate ceremonies. Lewis Taylor, a private in Company L, 6th New York Volunteers, was today stricken down with fever. His condition is not deemed serious. Orderly Macklin of the 6th Pennsylvania suffered an accident this morning in front of the camp of the 65th New York. His horse ran away with him, but Macklin was rescued without serious injury. Gtherwise the day has passed with- out the addition of a single name to the list of those now in the hospitals. Private Davison and Private Stevens of the 6th Illinois, who are now at Fort Myer suffer- ing from pneumonia, are both resting easi- ly. Three of the twelve men in the hos- pital of the 6th with bad colds caught in Springfield were dismissed this morning. ‘They are Privates Batley, Company M; Homan, Company L, and Angier, Company D. Everywhere the same improvement is noted. Regiments Expected. Three regiments of infantry are expected to arrive today. Of these, two are from Missouri and one from Kansas. The 7th Illinois, a regiment made up almost en- tirely of Hibernians, is said to have left Springfield for Camp Alger. Second Lieutenant F. O. Brooks, Com- pany E, 7th Ohio, has resigned. This ac- tion is due to a serious illness in his fam- ily. Lieutenant Brooks’ superior officer, Captain W._L. West, was acting commis- sary of the 7th Ohio, but will now have to resign that position to-resume command of his company. Captain C. A. Thomp- son, Company I, is to succeed Captain West. <9 Mrs. McCall, wife of Representative Mc- CASTORIA For In ants and Children, Bears e& ° te Kor signature (a of og? - You Have ‘o) Aiways Bought CASTORIA ‘The Centaur Company New York City, THE COMING CAKE WALK.

The rest went to Company H, which hails from Stone- ham, Mrs. McCall's home. Ordered to Camp Alger. The following named officers have been re- lieved from their present duties and order- ed to report to Maj. Gen. Graham, for as- signment to @uty: Licut. Col. Peter D. Vroom, inspector general; Licut. Col. E. S, Dudley, judge ad- yocate; Lieut. Col. James N. Allison, chief ary of subsistence; Lieut. Col. James L. Lusk, chief engine2r. An order was issued at the War Depart- ment today for the 7th Illinois Regiment of Infantry Volunteers to proceed to Camp Alger and réport to Maj. Gen. Graham, commanding. Lieut. E. F. Ladd, 9th Cavalry, has been ordered to report to Maj. Gen. Graham, commanding the 2d Army Corps, at Falls Chureh, Va., for temporary duty as acting chief quartermaster of that corps. Private U. G. Connolly, Company I, 1st District of Columbia Voluntezr Infantry, has been ordered to proceed withouz delay to Camp George H. Thomas, Chickamauga. Private Connoliy is the soldier wno remain- ed or guard over some camp equipments, the monument grounds, the day the Ist Regiment of District of Columbia Volun- teers left for Chickamauga. His officers in- advertently omitted to relieve him from the duty, and he remained at his post until re- leased by order of the War Department. Clothing and Equipage. Supplies for all the men in camp, su- ficient for ten.days’ active service, are to be at Dunn Loring either today or tomor- row. In consequence, the following circu- lar has been issued from corps headquar- ters: “Circular No, 4. “Clothing and equipage will be issued to the different organizations by Major Mar- tin, depot quartermaster, Dunn Loring, without formal requisition, Each regi- mental quartermaster should prepare a careful list of what his organization need: giving sizes of all clothing, and then report to Major Martin for supplies. “Requisitions for fuel, forage, etc., should be made to cover period from arrival here til May 31, sent by regiments direct to corps headquarters. “By command of : “MAJ. GEN. GRAHAM. “H. O. 8. HEISTAND, “Assistant Adjutant General.” It is supposed at headquarters that the need for clothing is more urgent than that for additional food or fuel. Each regiment in camp came to Falls Church equipped with ten days’ field rations, which are not yet exhausted. But almost none of them came here fully supplied with shoes or underwear or socks. These latter articles are therefore to be distributed at once. Slips containing the number of articles needed were submitted to Major Mar:in at Dunn Loring this morning. He will issue shoes first, uniforms second and other articles of wearing apparel after- ward. The issue will probably take several days, as many cf the commands, notably the 6th Pennsylvania, the 159th Indiana and the 12th Pennsylvania are in need of almost everything. When ordnance is issued the 7tn Ohio will require a com- plete outfit, except about fifty guns hed for guard duty. Food is being shipped to the supply sta- tions indicated In great quantities, Captain John Little, in charge of the commissary department, will shortly be prepared to issue 100,000 fieid rations, consisting of fresh beef, mutton, flour, “soft” bread, beans, potatoes, vinegar and salt and pep- per. The wagen secured yesterday will be used to transport the quota for each regi- ment as rapidly as possible, so that no reg- iment will have exhausted its supply of field rations before the new issue. General Orders No. 3. Assistant Adjutant General also issued the following: “General orders, No. 3. “1. During the temporary absence of Brigadier F. L. Guenther, U. 8. A., Com- manding the Ist Division Brigade Com- mandery, will report direct to corps head- quarters. 2. Upon receipt of any order, command- ers will take immediate steps to have the same promulgated to their commanders, and will be held responsible for the prompt execution of and obedience to all orders, ‘The following articles of war is here- by published for the information of the commend: Any soldier who Is found one mile from camp without leave in writing from his commanding officer shall be pun- ished as the court-martial shall direct. 4. The following hours for duty are here- by announced, and will be strictly observed throughout this command: First cail for reveille, 5:15 a.m.; breakfast, 5:30; reveille and assembly, 5:45; general police of camps, sick cail, 6:15; drill school of the sgl- dier, 6:30; recall from drill, 7:30; theoretical instruction, 8 to 9; drill school of the com- pany, troop or battery, ; recall from drill, 11; dinner, 12 noon; guard mounting, :30 p.m.; theoretical instruction in the first to the wounded, under supervision of the regimental surgeons, 2 to 2:30; Grill, school of battalion or squadron, recall from drill, 4:30; supper, 5:30; parade, 6:30; call to quarters, 9; taps, 9:30. Theoretical instruction will include arti- cles of war, guard manual, use and care of arms, care of camp and tentage, hygiznic and sanitary measures and army regula- tions (here certain paragraphs relating to the admipistration of camp affairs are noted fur special study), and such other mutters to which it may be necessary to draw particular attention. By command of MAJ. GEN. GRAHAM.» H. O. 8. HEISTAND, Assistant Adjutant General. Intended as Warning. The third section of the foregoing order is intended to warn enlisted men against wandering too far from camp in search of fuel or food. This may be the best method of preventing theft, which the officers are trying to stop. It will at least b2 given a Nearly every regiment that has so far reported has brought along its own pro- gram of calls. The fourth section of the order will, it is hoped, secure uniformity, . Heistand Guard mounting at 1:30 is generally re- garded as un innovation. The 6th Ilinois and the Ist New gérsey have been mount- ing guard at 4 and 4:30 in the afternoor. Otherwise guard mount has been generally ordered for 9 o'clock in the morning. The theoretical instruction specified is also an innovation. Today every captain in camp had his men in his tent teaching and hear- ing recitations in the book of tactics. The Amusements. As the routine camp duty grows more familiar the enlisted men give more time for base ball and other sports. The 6th Massachusetts and the Sth Ohio have been preparing for a contest on the diamond near the quarters ofthe Sth. The Penn- sylvania men have set up horizontal bars and other gymnastic apparatus. Foot races and the other sports named now divide in- terest with the parades in the evening. A delegation from the National Young Men’s Christian Association came to camp yesterday to secure permission to erect a tent for each brigade. Gen Foster had a site selected for the 2d Brigade tent, just below the quarters of the 6th Illinoi While at Springtigld thé general had op- portunity to study the effect of Y. M. C. A. meetings, and is heartily in favor of e: tending the organization every privileg possible. S In the hospitals’no serious cases have been reported since. yesterday. Chief Sur- geon Girard is much aelieved that the steries of sick men lying on the bare ground and hospitals without equipment are put at rest. | Within a few ‘days,’ he sald, “we will have our corps as well equipped as any in the service. We wil have accurate records of all the men in the camp, we will have every man at all {ll under the care of capable, competent hospital authorities. We have not yet as many ambulances as we ought to have, perhaps, but we have as many as are absclutely necessary. With- in a day or two our division hospitals will be set up and then we can care easily for everybody. “Of course, cots, blankets, shéets, jellie: frult and other delicacies are always need- ed and the hospital corps will be grateful for anything of the sort received from friends of the soldiers. At present, for in- we could make use of about fifty tice of our plans for transport: and caring for such supplies will appear from time in the daily papers.” = MONEY ORDERS FOR SOLDIERS. Other Arrangements for the Conyen- fence of the Troops. Mr. Perry Heath, the first assistant post- master general, conferred. with the War Department today in the matter of money orders for the soldiers. When pay day comes around General Heath anticipate: great rush from the soldiers for money or- ders to send a t of their pay home. This would greatly embarrass the military post offices, and General Heath is anxious to help the boys and facilitate the business of the department. He has a plan, ‘which, if adopted, will, he thinks, remedy what- ever embarrassment {8 likely to occur. It is to pay the soldiers as much of their pay as they wish by check. In this way they will be saved the cost of a money order, and it will greatly facilitate the business of the department. The Secre- tary of War has been consulted in the mat- ter, and will, it is understood, do what he can to help matters. The Post Office Department has waived that part ef the postal regulations govern- ing the forwarding of mail matter. This is done for the benefit of the soldiers, and all classes of mail will be forwarded to the soldier, wherever his company may be. The matter came to the attention of Mr. Heath, the first assistant postmaster gen- eral, through an inquiry from the Christian Advocate, asking if the papers sent to soldiers and sailors would be forwarded the same as letters. As the rule heretofore has been not to forward second-class mail matter, it was necessary to make an order (which was done) watving the rule during hostilities and giving all mail matter for soldiers the same privileges as first-class mail. The Post Office Department has decided to open a money order office at Manila, Philippine Islands. This action was deemed necessary be- ‘cause of the probability of the United States occupying the islands for some time to come, and the demand of the soldiers and sailors for such an arrangement in or- der to send their money home. In view of the fact that the United States has not yet occupied the islands the first money order office will likely be establish- ed aboard a transport, and will enjoy the distinction of being the first and only float- ing money order office In the world. ete THE POST OREICE BUILDING. ‘Treasury Officials; Opppse Rearrange- ment as Entailing More Expense.

QUOTAS IN MANY CASES NOW FULL Governors Are Deluged With Applications From Volunteers. GREAT WAVE OF PATRIOTISM CHICAGO, May 26.—Reports from vari- ous northwestern states indicate that Pres- ident McKinley’s second call for volun- teers, asking for 75,000 men, will meet with hearty response. Independent companies, are already crganized in many states, and these will be offered to the service of the country, as is shown by the following dis- patches: ST. PAUL, Minn. May 26.—Governor Clcugh when informed that the President had issued a second call for troops said: “I have applications from all over the state for permission to raise companies. I have not even kept track of them. We have more than enough men. It be necessary to make any extensive ar- rengements.”” LANSING, Mich., May 26.—Governor Pingree said that while all of Michigan's quota under the first call has been mus tered in and business at Camp Eaton w about to be closed, steps will at once be assigned to raise the additional quota as- signed to Michigan under the second call. Recruits will be rendezvoused at the present camp. The governor is confident that the quota cen be filled prompily, and his plan is to assign to each township and ward in the state its proportionate number, based on the number of eligible men within its beundaries.” Wisconsin Short of Funds. MADISON, Wis., May 26.—Governor Sco- field says that Wisconsin has exhausted all available furds in its possession at prese for the equipment of troops, and unte federal government does something in the way of furnishing equipment, additional Wisconsin volunteers will not be rr go to the front for some tim state volunteers will be concentrated the military reservation at Camp Douglas: instead of the state fair grounds in Mil- waukee. Reports from various sections of the state indicate that the volunteers who have already offered their servites to the government considerably exceed the num- ber asked for. © SPRINGFIELD, Ill., May —When it became known throughout the state that a call had been issued by President McKinley for 75,000 more volunteers, telegrams began to pour in on the governor from the col- onels of provisional regiments and their friends, and in a short time there w; a perfect deluge of them. The governor had contemplated starting on a western trip in a day or two, but he will postpone that now, for the present at least, and devote his energies to filling the state’s quota. The governor hopes to be able to furnish five regiments promptly, as he has tenders of double that number. Hoosiers Ready to Serve. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., May 26.—The se ond call for troops has brought out the fa at the office of Governor Mount that enough applications have been made in In- diana for privileges to raise companies, batteries, cavalry and entire regiments to fill the quota of a dozen states like Indian: Governor Mount will not return from W: nona Lake until Saturday, but, anticipating the second call, he had already decided to apportion Indiana’s quota to the diffe at congressional districts, and not to accept companies from cities companies in the first enlistment. tion will be made to the War De to increase Indiana's second quot 2,582, the number announced today, to three full regiments, so that more Indiana officers will have a chance to go the front. COLORADO SPRINGS, Col., May 26—A regiment of mounted riflemen, made up of 500 men from different military organiza- tions in the state, has been formed in this city. Telegrams* have been forwarded to Washington to ascertain if such a regi- ment can be accepted by the War Depart- ment. Californin Wants to Be First. SAN FRANCISCO, May 26.—California may be the first state to furnish a complete regiment under the Presid2nt’s second call for troops. It led the Union after the first call was issued and is ready to repeat the exploit. Ger. Warfield, commanding the “d Brigade, N. G. C., has ordered an in- spection of the 5th Regiment, and says it ll be ready to be sworn in as a whoie to- morrow morning. The 5th inciudes com= panies in Oakland, Alameda, San Jos Santa Rosa and Petalama. Gen. Warfield will then take steps to organize the 2d Brigade of the National Guard and place it in readiness for war. Under the second call for volunteers, Cali- fornia will probably furnish two batteries of artillery, two regiments of infantry and one troop of cavalry. DES MOINES, Iowa, May 26.—Gov. Shaw says: “I have no doubt that th> second call will be responded to promptly. Already a large number of companies have been organized in anticipation of a second call. The new recruits will be mobilized at the stat2 fair grounds in this city and will go through much the same course as the first four regi- ments.” ed REFERRED TO SUBCOMMITTEE, Granting American Registry to For- eign-Built Ships. The Senate committee on commerce today had under consideration the subject of granting American registry to foreign-built ships for the purpose of securing their services in carrying troops and supplies to the Philippine Islands and decided to place the matter in the hands of a subcommittee, with: authority to report in all cases in which the War Department may make re- quest that registry be granted. ‘The discussion in the committee revealed the fact that there are several foreign ships whose services can be made available when considered desirable. The action of the committee, so far as it is concerned, will have the effect of placing the matter in the hands of the War Department. e+ Roman Names for Vessels.
