The national Chamber ap- roved a motion asking the Bragllian Foreign Office for information as soon as possible regarding the state of negotiations, The newspapers con- tinue to emphasize that no attack ia contemplated upon the sovereignity of Mexico. The semi-officlal Gazeta do Noticias finds fault with those who, pledging themselves in the beginning against formal action, later come to support the leanings of the United States toward imperialism, “In truth,” this paper says, “South America is not in sympathy with intervention in the internal affairs of Mexico, But the solution already reached by the conference at Wash- ington seems to present a conciliation candidate for the Presidency of the Republic. The only difficulty will be to obtain from the rival factions ac- ceptance of a candidate who is pre- sented if not forced upon them by America.” ——a ENVOYS OF BRAZIL AND GUATEMALA LEAVE VERA CRUZ ON U.S. SHIP.

MILITARY INSTRUCTION CAMP, PLATTSBURG BARRACKS, N, Y,, Aug. 12.—In no training camp of fight- ing England are men going through stiffer and more exacting drill than is being handed to the devoted busl- ness and professional men who have enlisted for a month's military prepa- ration here under officers of the Unit- ed States Army. Fight companies of men, dusty, per- spiring and a little drawn in face, came swinging in from the State Road to the company streets of the camp to-day. They had been out since breakfast, just after sunrise. They had carried their fleld packs and thelr rifles. They manual o' arms drill, had been doing close forma- tion marching and open order skir- mish drill, The country for three miles in all directions has been dotted with the busy brown soldiers all day Travis H. Whitney, Secretary of the Public Service Commission, ar- rived here to-day late and escaped one day’s work, There was a doubt- ful expression in his eye as he saw his future comrades shuffling through the sand into camp for luncheon. “For the first time in my life,” he said, “I have some doubts as to the benefits of being classed as a million- aire.” Mr, Whitney expected to find his boss, Col, Willam Hayward, of the commission, here. Col. Hayward, who saw service In the Philippines, said he was coming, but there is a grow- ing suspicion among the members of the camp that the Philtpptnes were never like this, Another newcomer is H.

The 300 men streamed around the ends of the crescent and filled in the indicated space within ninety seconds, There wasn't the least confusion. Gen. Wood raised his hand to hide an in- voluntary smile of pride and pleas- ure.
