PROP." W. R. PHILLIPS THE LEADER ee Seventeen Recruits, Fully Equipped, Leave for Tampa Tonight. FILLING LONG-FELI WANT —--+ Seventeen fully uniformed and equipped musicians who have been mustered into the service of the United States will leave, from the 6th street station over the South- ern railway, at 10:43 o'clock tonight for Tampa, Fla., to join the 1st Regiment of District Volunteers, and, with the bandsmen already at the front, to form a regimental band. There are about ten musicians at present with the boys in camp, and out of these a sufficient number will be obtained | to form a full band of twenty-four pieces, Prof. W. R. Phillip. Word of the coming of the band will b> phed to the District boys, and the ans wiil most certainly receive a welcome when, travel-stained and royal weary, they alight from their train at the Florida point of concentration. The band which leaves tonight is made up of first-class musicians, eight of the number being a select detachment from the Mount Pleasant Field Band. Prof. W. R. z a young musician of Washington, who has had an exceptional musical train- ing since his early beyhood, will be at the head of the band, and will act as its leader and accompany the soldiers everywhere un- til their triumphant return from the war. ‘The men were mustered into the service last Tuesday, and have since been fitted out with new uniforms by the government, and ‘h their own efforts and the liber- veral patriotic citizens have se- n ary instruments and band ies to be used until the government The band has had se’ and the men are all en- early departure to join throug! y of thusiastic over the the District regiment. Citizens Take an Interest. The fermation of this band, after the bri- gade musicians had failed to enlist, is the result of the labors of a few well-known and patriotic citizens of Washington who are interested in the District volunteers and who do not wish to see Colonel Har- ries’ regiment lacking in any particular. The failure to secure a band from the ex- pected source caused the officers and sol- diers of the regiment in general the great- est disappointment. 'The men went away to Chickamauga fully equipped and uni- formed, but minus a band. When they a rived at the historic camping ground they won the admiration of every soldier pres- ent. The District command was voted a “crack regiment’ sure enough. That it maintained this reputation, earned at first sight, was evidenced by the fact that the Ist District of Columbia was among the first of the voiunteer regiments ordered further south, where they will be closer to the scene of conflict and ready for an emergent call. encamped at ts were provided wi in.ental band, and their drills and were thus :navle more attractive, wie diers given cheer by the stirring martial masic. However, s iment will no longe: their joy at beirg thus unexpectedly pro- vided with a bard in every way befit their organization can better be imagi than told. When the iecin ent left Washington there were in the ranks some ten or eleven first- cless musicians, who were to have been as- ned to the band that was expect formed before the men left Camp Alrer, but which, as already told in The Star, failed to materialize. These men will now be as- signed to the bard as soon as Prof. Ph Ips and his seventeen men arrive. fystru- ments will be taken for them, and the for- mation of the musical contingent will re- quire but a very short while. Progress of Movement. The movement for the organization of the band for the regiment was inaugurated something over a week ago, as told in The Star. The gentlemen interested in the Plan had a consultation with Col. Heyl, adju- tant generai of the District militia, and the War Department officials. They learn- ed that the government stood ready to equip the musicians and to furnish them with transportation to camp just as soon as the organization was effected. Prof. Phillips was next consulted, and he con- sented to enlist and go to the front at the head of the organization. The securing of sevensecn patriotic musicians was the next step. ~ Mr. J. C. Churchill, leader of the Mot Pleasant Field Band, was interviewed. Dae a meeting of his organization he laid the Proposition to form a regimental band for the District soldiers before them. As a re- sult of his speech, eight musicians from the organization, were secured. Mr. Churchi 1 again displayed his liberality and sympathy in the movement by loaning the insira- ments needed until the War Departmert can supply others. Music stands, sheet music and band folios are not furnished by the government, but are essential to such an organization. At this juncture in the formation of the band Sanders & Stayman, the well-known music firm, Mr. Perey $. Foster, manager, came forward and very generously donated these necessary acces- sorles. Thus, through the kindness’ of Mr. Churchill and the patriotic Mberality of Sanders & Stayman, and the efforts of a few citizens, the organization was complete and ready for muster. The musicians will arrive in Tampa seme time Sunday and will at once join the Dis- trict regiment in camp, The men have all been quite handsomely uniformed in regu- lation infantry band style. Campaign hats are worn by them und the men present a picturesque and soldierly appearance. All are able-bodied fellows, prepared for a long campaign, They will doubtless be met at Tampa by the District soldiers, who will thoroughly appreciate the music after sev- eral weeks in camp without this only en- jovable feature of a strict military life, ‘The musicians will accompany the regiment to Cuba, Porto Rico, the Philippines, or Wherever it may go, the men under Prof. Phillips declaring they are ready to take up arms whenever music will no lenger do The Leader's Qualification.

President McKinley yester as report- ed in The Star, rewarded Dewey's cap' at Manila by advancing them from five to ten numbers in their respective grades. Captain Frank Wildes, who commanded the Boston and insisted on retaining his ship after his relicf, Captain Lamberton, reached Hong Kong, is to be, advanced fivé numbers. ‘This will place Captain Wildes about No. 20 on the list, just below Captain Evans and ahead of Captain © Crownin- shield, the chief of the bureau of naviga- tion. Captain Wildes will, in consequen secure his promotion to commodore about a year earlier thin he otherwise would. Captain Joseph B. Coghlan, who com- mands the Raleigh, is to be advanced six numbers, from No. 35 to No. 28. Captain “Joe” will thus go ahead of Captain Clark, the Oregon's commander. Captain Charles V. Gridley was the com- manding officer of the flagship Olympia at the battle of Manila bay. Gridley is to be advanced six numbers. This will place him just below Coghlan on the list of captains. Gridley is on his way home, sick. He was ill long before he took his ship into action at Manila, but would no: go home until his work was done. ‘aptain Nehemiah M. Dyer, who com~- manded the Baltimore, is to be advanced seven numbers. His ship was struck sev- eral times by the Spanish shot and six of his men were wounded. Admiral Dewey paid him the compliment of letting the Bal- tinore lead the way in the action, which began after all hands had enjoyed their breakfast, Dyer will go up from abaut No. 40 to No. 33, alongside of Captain Clark. Captain Lamberton is ‘to be advanced seven numbers. He was at the botiom of the list when the fight with the Spaniards began: he now is No. 28. Captain Lamber- ton will be remembered as the officer who ecmmanded the light house tender that used to take President Cleveland out on his hunting and fishing trips. © Commander Asa Walker ‘was’ the captain of the Conzard. He is to be advanced nine numbers, from about 39 to-30, which will insure him reaching, the “captains’ list a short year sooner than he*otherwise would. Walker is a mathematician of a high order. He has been head of the: Hepartment of navigation at the Naval» Academy, and taught the cadets there on many of his shcre tours of duty. bo3cd Commander Edward P. Woodthad the Pe- trel, the little gunboat that went in close to the guns of Cavite and'feltthe way up to the burning, sinking Spanish fleet. Wood is to be advanced ‘ten numbers} which will put him up from 75 to Son the list of ecmmanders, and insure hts reaching his captaincy a year and a half earlier than he would had he not been advanced. 2 A Porto Rico Smoke. From the Chicago Record. ‘ “I observed phenomena at San Juaa, and the same at Ponce de Leon, for which I have never been able to obtain a satisfac- tcry explanation. The old negresses who si: around the market place and the shady street corners selling dulces from large baskets are habitually smoking long black cigars, and they put the lighted ends their mouths, Why they do they can exdure it are mysteries that c not be solved, but it is nevertheless a and a custom that is unique in Porto Rico." or a “Want” eds. in The carey ae ae How ‘They is BON MARCHE, 3 H ARMADA, Seme Reasons Why the Naval Project Was a Fatlure Capt. Alfred T. Mahan in the The Armada entered the English Channel en July 30, and on the 6th of August an- chored off Calais, having traversed the channel successfully in a we Thre several actions had occurred. None was @ecisive; but all tended generally in favor of the Englisn, who utilized their advan- tages of speed and artillery to the foe with their long guns, while keeping out of range of his muskets and lighter mnon. The Spanish los: n battle, by a Spanish authority, were 600 killed and 800 { wounded. The English loss, from first to last, did not reach 100. Such a discrepancy tells its own tale; but it is to be remem- bered, moreover, that men slain means sides pierced and frames shattered. Shot that fly wide, or that cut spars, sails, and rigging, kill comparatively few. With hulls thus damaged, the Spaniards had to confront the equinoctial gales of the At- lantic. At Calais, a friendly town, Parma might possibly join; but there was no harbor for big ships and it was unreasonable to ex- pect that he, with the whole charge of the Netherlands on his hands, would be wait- ing there, ignorant when the fleet would appear, or whether it would come at all. Medina Sidonia sent him word of his ar- 1; but it could not be hoped that the English would allow the fleet to occupy that unprotected pcsition undisturbed. The wind being to the westward, they anchored at a safe distance to windward, and on the night of August 7 sent against the Spaniards eight fire ships. The ordinary means of diverting these failing, the Span- ish admiral got under way. In this opera- tion the flcet drifted nearer the shore, and the wind next day coming out strong from the northwest and setting the ships bodily on the coast, he, under the advice of the pilots, stood into the North sea.

From the Lewiston Journal, Don’t you want to begin a leaf collection this spring? You've no idea how much fun it is rer how much you will learn of different plants before the summer is over. Get a piece of fine linen free from starch, and soak it in spirits.of nitre (saltpeter) until it is thoroughly saturated with the solution. Have ready a sheet of drawing or other smoth paper, and place on it the leaves from which it is desired to make impressions. Place over them a piece of linen wet with the nitre, lay a sheet of paper over the linen, put all between two pieces of heavy cardboard, and put inte a letter press or under heavy weights for y d_en- | three or four days. he continuance of the | the press the | ) ards, | being thus fair for | large city there around which he would walk 1.
