GENERAL CAMP NEWS Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. TAMPA, Fla., June 23—For the third time since the District men reached Tampa they returned frem a practice march ihis morning. Hot, tired and dusty, but in the best cf spirits, they merched into camp shcrtly before 10 o'clock, headed by the regimental band playing a lively tune. Marchiag in tre sand in and around Tampa is 10 cbild's play. It taxes the strength of a man to the fullest extent. Each time the District troop take the march they find it easier, for they are fast becoming seasored veterans. Despite the inclement weather of yester- day moraing, the order came from brigade headquarters to prepare for the march. Fortunately it cleared off later in the day and the sua came oft, and in a short while dried the ground nicely. The boys got ready promptly, and when the bugle sounded the assembly at 5:30 o'clock every man was in his place, with his blanket roll and teat over bis shoulder, his arms in gocd shape and rations for the trip in his haversack. They locked the nearest 10 regulars” of ary regiment in the volun- te rvice stationed at Tampa. With the bend playing one of Sousa’s lively marches, they started on their long march thro: the sand for Tampa Heights. “Taps” w: setnded as usua! at 8 o’ciock, and the men went to sleep, preparatory to their hard work of this merning. They knew what they had to do. Turned Out at 3 a.m. Reveiile was sounded at 3 o'clock, and in- stead of the words usually attributed to this cali being true the boys w2re up and ready for their early morning meal in a J:ffy. Breakfast being over, the assembly w: unded at 4:10 o'clock and the men fell in to begin a hard morning's work, and they got it. Companies wer? drilled in skir- mish and extended order movements «nd battalions drilled in battle formaticns. Blank cartridges were furnished for firme. There was a special drill for the coma o%2d and non-commissioned officers, who were formed in a platoon under command of Maj. Hine, who instructed and Grilled them in the battle formations. Major O'Brien of the 3a Battalion formed the noa- commissioned officers into a company with the first sergeants in charge of s+ctions and put them through the same move- ments. He says the drill was an excellent one. Four drums were drawn from the quar- termaste! department and they are of great assistance in marching. General Drills Suspended. General drills ave suspended after these marches, and the are allowed to s cure a much-deserved res ‘apt. Cha Comer of Company C, whose company w: on guard, remained in charge of the guard. Maj. M. Emmett Ureil of the Ist Battalion remained in charge of the camp, and Harry Walsh of Company A commanded the Jst Battalion. Lieut. Crist of Company © was in charge of the provost guard at Ybor City, and Lieut. Harden of Company in charge of the provost guard at mpa. Capt. Looker and his company are still doing engineering work on Picnic Island. 5 The first order from division headquarters was received by Col. Harries this morning. It is special order No. 4, and says: “A gen- eral court-martial is appointed to meet at Tampa, Fla., at 8 Qclock a.m., June 24, or s soon thereafter as possible, for the trial of such persons as may be properly brought before it.” The detail of the court ts as follows: Col. E. E. Hardin, 24 New York; Lieut. Col. Wm. D. Robinson, Sth Indiana; Maj. M. Emmett Urell, Capt. Walsh, Capt. Hodgson and Lieut. Walker, 1st District of Colum- bia; Capt. Bowie, 5th Maryland; Vanck and Capt. Bauder, 2d New Yor! Lieut. Campbell, Sth Indiana; Lieut. Dodge and Lieut. McChesney, 24 New York. Capt. John Hinkley of the 5th Maryland Regiment is judge advocate. It is under- stood that a private in the Ist District of Columbia, who was caught asleep on his post at night, will be brought before the court. Lieuts. White, Marshall and Hoff of the 6th Cavalry were guests of Maj. Urell yes- terday afternoon. Officers Discover a Fire. Capt. Walsh and Lieut. Herron had quite an experience last night on Tampa Heights. They were passing a buiiding near the camp, which they discovered to be on fire. With great coolness they turned in an alarm and proceeded to fight the flames, which they succeeded in subduing after a hard fight. It appears that the building, which was occupied as a canteen, had been looted by some soldiers during the after- noon for some grievance against the pro- prietor, and at night they set it on fire. Th2 building was saved. The regiment is being completely cquip- ped by the quartermaster department. No blue shirts can be gotten, however, and until they are received the men have to march and drill with only their blouses on and buttoned up. If the relief commit- tee at home could send 1,000 blue flannel shirts it would be the greatest comfort to them. Lieut. Mayer, the new adjutant, is ex- pected teda: es Cheese and Corn for the Army. The House committee on military affairs has agreed to favorably report to the Tleuse the Chickering bill, increasing <he army rations by cne-quarter of a pound of cheese tri-weekly and two ounces of canned corn tri-weekly.

ROAD MAKING IN CUBA Tustructive Manual Issued for the Use of the Army. Plans Laid Out and the Tepography and Vegetation of the Island Detailed. Brig. Gen. Roy Stone, now on the staff of Maj. Gen Miles, has prepared a manual for the use of troops operating in Cuba, covering the most expeditious means of cutting military roads through the tangled tropical vegetation, swamps and brush through which the American army must push its way in Cuba. Gen. Stone was the road expert of the Agricultural Depart- ment, but on the breaking out of the war Secrctary Alger asked that he be assigned to the military service, with a view to mak- ing his expert knowledge available in road building through Cuba. He has made a study of Cuban soil, vegetation and timber growth, and besices a personal acquaint- ance with the country, he has collected a large number of photographs, maps, etc., which show in detail the topography and vegetation of the island. With this ma terfal in hand, Gen. Stone has framed his manual for military roads in Cuba, which has, within the last few days, been dis- tributed to commanding officers for their guidance Guava Tree Put to Good Use. In opening roads through Cuba, Gen. Stone makes good use of tie guava tree or brush, which grows in luxurious abund- ance throughout the island. He gives diagrams by which this is to be cut, and the boughs bound upward, making a com- pact roll, about the size of a small log. These guava burdles, known as fascines, are laid lengthwise, one row of bundles Japping over another, like shingles. There are successive layers of this," bound to- gether, making a serviceable roadway, strong enough for troops and even for field ordnance. Rules for Road Making. The manual lays down the following plan for Cuban road making: “If the road is an important one it should have about sixteen feet of travel- way, and, to allow for ditches on either side, the ground should be cleared at least 300 feet wide. Running through a wooded country, the advance or clearing party should be equipped with axes, machetes, bush scythes and a few forks, and should be instructed to cut and clear away all vines, weeds and small undergrowth and to bind up into bundles all small bushes Jess than an inch in diameter at the ground, these bundles to be kept for repairs of roads. If there is heavy timber, the sec- ond gang, equipped with axes and saws, will chop out all trees, leaving the root in the ground, and saw the trees into such lengths as will allow the logs to be hauled or rolled off the roadway.” It then provides that the third gang, equipped with axes, hatches and twine, will cut the bushes and make the fascines or bundles, to be used for the road bed. The fa&cines are placed lengthwise, butt end forward, and over them 1s a covering of earth about three inches deep. Each ad- ditional layer of fascine has a layer of earth. The roadbed is so laid as to be solid in itself, with ditches on each side and with an easy slope, so that a wagon may be driven off without upsetting. In crossing low, swampy ground, a layer of poles or canes is first laid lengthwise to the road and the fascines on top. Better Than Corduroy. While these bush roads might seem in- secure, they are, as a matter of fact, more solid than an ordinary corduroy road, the bundles of bushes being crowded together with crowbars until they lay with the solidity of baled hay. General Stone’s manual also gives direc- tions for grubbing out timber where exca- vations are to be made, for making sluiced ways, and for the improvement of sandy roads. The cane is laid upon the surface and covered with about two inches of sand with alternate layers upward. Another Cuban growth utilized for this purpose is the palm tree. The fiber from the bark of this tree makes one of the best material for improving sand roads. Warning is giv- en against the use of pine needles, as they work to the surface and are liabie to be burned off. The manual is illustrated by a number of diagrams, which show in detail how these military highways through Cuba can be best constructe —_—_—-o+___ Saw American Warships.

THE “SAW HORSE” AT CAMP ALGER Officers Instructed to Report Num- ber of Men Equipped. COMMANDS AWAIT ORDERS cial Correspcudence of The Evening Star. CAMP ALGER, Va., June 28, 1808. Secretary Alger today crdered an investi- gation of the methods af punishment now in use in the 2d Army Corps. This action result of an announcement made in yesterday’s newspapers of the es- tablishment of a ‘‘saw horse” in the camp of the 159th Indiana. The Secretary of War caused a telegraph message to Le sent to Gen. Graham as soon as the wires were cpen for dispatches this morning. In substance it directed the corps com- mander to determine whether any such instrument of torture was in use in Camp Alger, and if so to report that fact im- mediately to the department. A circular was prepared and addressed generally to the colonels commandirg regiments now stationed at Falls Church. It inquired whether the “saw horse” or any other method of punishment not permissible in time of peace was being practiced in their respective quarters. This was given to a mounted messenger and presented to each regimental eommander in turn. They will report directly to Gen. Graham this aft noon. Col. J. T. Barnett of the 159th Indiana caused to be erected in the camp of his regiment a saw horse, made of young sap- lings, and standing twelve feet high. Yes- terday Private E. F. Cooper of Company A was, by the colonel’s orders, placed astride ‘the crosspiece and held there four hours. The taunts of his comrades and the exposure to the hot sun, together with the pain produced by sitting on a four-inch rail all morning, proved too much for Cooper, and when taken down he staggered and fell to the ground. His friends car- ried him to his tent. Cooper was to have been further punished by a second siege of four hours, but his physical condition this morning made thet unwise. The offense charged against him is having been absent without leave for three Cays. Inquiry as to Equipments. A general circular was sent to division commanders this morning directing them to report to corps headquarters at once the number of men in their commands ‘who are now fully equipped. They were also ach directed to prepare a compiete state- ment in detail of the number of rifles, uni- forms and other articles needed to com- plete the equipment of their respective di- visions. The several quartermasters snd ordnance officers ofthe 2d Brigade, 1st Division, were summoned by the corps officers having charge of the various <e- partments to report the same facts verb- ally. This is taken as an indication that the 2d Brigade is to receive its supply first. The 9th Massachusetts and the two bat- talions left of the 34th Michigan were to- day thoroughly and carefully inspected. ‘They now await instruction to proceed to Hampton Roads.

Interesting Revival of the Statement That the United States Could Se- cure a Coaling Station in China. The Chinese minister was among the callers at the State Department today, and it was inferred that his visit had something to do with the action of China in warning the dispatch boat Zafiro of Admiral Dewey's fleet away from Chinese waters. The minister feels confident there is some pprehension over the action toward the Zafiro. He says China has the most friendly feeling toward the United States, and that the government would certainly take no acticn prejudicial to this country, unless it was necessary in the maintenance of strict neutrality. He thinks any trouble that may have arisen is due to the ques- tion of authority over certain territory sur- rounding Hong Kong. That point has be ceeded to Great Britain, and for some time efforts have been made to extend the Brit- ish territory contiguous to Hong Kong. The minister thinks the uncertainty over this territory may have given rise to some question as to the right of the Zafiro to, remain in one of the ports of that debata- ble country. Not an Evidence of Il Will. At all events China does not want the in- eldent to be taken as an avidence of ill will. The technical reason’ for the expulsion of the Zafiro would, however, be sufficient, it is believed, if she undertook to take on supplies for Dewey’s squadron at a Chi- nese port. That reason is that the usual law of neutrality prohibits a belligerent vessel from returning to the same port in @ neutral country within three months, and the Zafiro has made, as a matter of fact, several trips back and forth from Manila to the mainland, The British gov- ernment was obliged to direct in one case that the ship should not be allowed to take aboard supplies for the fleet or any- thing beyond a few luxuries for the of- ficers. Easy to Obtain a Coaling Station. In reply to the suggestion coming from an English source at Hong Kong that the United States should ecquire a coaling sta- tion on the Chinese mainland with or with- out the conscnt of China, it is said here in high official circles that the United States might at any time since the outbreak of the Chinese-Japanese war have acquired such a right from the Chinese government upon making the request. Moreover, it is intimated that during Secretary Gresham's administration of the State Department the Chinese government, without waiting a@ request of this kind, let it be known to this government that it would not object to its acquirement of a coaling station. No effort waz ever made, however, to act upon this intimation, the offictals scarcely real- izing the extent to which the seizure of Chinese coast territory was to be carried within a few years, and not desiring to initiate the partition of China. ——————~—___, Both Arraigned for Intemperance. An elderly man named John Burgee was in the Police Court today because ef his alleged intemperate habits. - Yesterday,” said Policeman Cox, “he was going in saloons on 7th street and helping himself to free lunch. He was érunk.” “And,” added Policeman Newkirk, “I’ve see him about ‘rum row’ on the avenue as early as 4 o’clock in the morning, waiting for the saloons to open.” The officer said he had seen him at night under the influence of liquor, but seldom sees him during the day. “That's because I work every day,” Bur- gee said. A friend appeared as a witness for him, and the court released him on his personal bends. Samuel Burgee, brother of the man re- leased, was also in court, and he was suf- fering from the effects of liquor-drinking. “His parents complained against him,’ Policeman Brenran told the court, “and Tuesday night his condition was so bad that he had to sleep in the wood shed.” “I was released from the workhouse only a few days ago,” said the prisoner, “and I had been sober so long that the whisky I drank went to my head.” “I'll give you an opportunity to get the Nquor out of you"again,” said the court. “Thirty days on the farm.” —_>—_ Silver Money of Hawaii.
