I'ai'k, Tenn, June l7.—The work "if
equipping the voli.iii:~:r army, in accor-
dance with the i'usn orders received
from “'asliington, is now the maini
thing at Camp Thomas. These rush:
orders, which were responsible for the;
rumors that fifteen regiments would go L
South at once. are taken by the ofi‘i-i
Gels to mean that a large part of thei
army will be used as soon as it can be
put into serviceable condition. Just
how long it will take 1., iLlll}' equip
the whole army cannot be exactly sta-
ted, but the indications are that the
work can be promptly finished. Ord-
nance supplies of every Iescrip'tion be-
gan pouring into Chattanooga yester-
day. Yesterday afternoon 7,000 rifles
arrived from the Columbia, Tenn. arse-
nal, and to-day they will be sent to the
camp and distributed. In several regi-
ments at large number of guns have
been thrown out as defective. These
regiments will be provided for from
this first lot.
Colonel Melville Grigsby has received
notice from VVashingtou that all arms
and equipments for the cowboys are
on the road and will arrive here within
a day or two. The messages said they
had been shipped several days ago.
\Vhen the supplies reach the camp they
will be distributed at once, and it will
take only a short time for the regiment
to be fully equipped. It, is practically
assured that Colonel Grigsby’s men will
be among the first to see service.
Several hundred recruits are arriving
at the camp daily and all the regiments
will be recruited up to the full strength
during; the next few weeks. The re-
cruits come from all over the country
and are secured by the recruiting offi-
cers sent out from here a short time
ago. The recruiting work comes sec-
ond in importance to the equipment
work. .,
During the next few days nearly all
the regimen-ts will have'i'ifie ranges for
target practice. This feature of the
training work 'has been considerably
delayed, but the army oliicials have
now become so impressed with its im—
portance that there will be little fur-
ther delay.
THE INVADING ARMY.
Will Not Reach Santiago Before To-mor-
row Night at tn: Ear icsf.
“l’ashingtou, D. C., June 17.—Tlie pro-
gress of General Shaftcr's army of in-
vasion comes “in for much attention,
both at the war and navy departments,
for there is a joint interest in the time
when the army can fully reinforce the
gallant band of marines now holding
their fort at‘Guantanamo. No word is
possible from this expedition before to-
day or to-morrow, and then only in case
Admiral Sampson has succeeded in re-
pairing the cable at Guantanamo.
He has buoyed the shore end and the
navy department is expecting almost
momentarily to receive a dispatch ‘di-—
rect from the flagship. If this operation
is not concluded in a day or two then
there will be the delay of waiting for
the dispatch boa-ts to reach Hayti half
a. day after General Shafter’s army of
invasion arrives. The officials will not
hazard a_-conjecture as to the exact
time of arrival. They say only that it
cannot be before to-night at the earli-
est and is more likely to be the day fol-
lowing and possibly Sunday.
TO ADJ US I STATE CLAIMS.
Board Appointed to Audit Bill For get.
ting 'i‘i-oOps Ready for service.
Washington, June 17.—~Practical steps
will be taken by the war department
in a few days looking to the payment
of the claims of the several states and
territories for expenses incurred by
them in the subsistbnce and mainten-
ance of the volunteers prior to their
muster into the service of the United
States.
It has been determined to refer all
such claims to a board consisting of
an army officer designated by the sec-
retary of war and an Official of the
treasury department. ,
This promises to be a work of con-
siderable magnitude, as every state and
, territory and the District of Columbia
have been put to more or less expense
in providing for the volunteers before
they were mustered in, and it will be
the duty of the board to settle them
with a view to «the best protection of
the government’s interests.
MANY SOUGHT, FEW CHOSEN.
One Thousand Applied for 500
Army Positions.
Washington, June 17.—Tl‘ie organiza-
tion of the volunteer army made neces-
sary 'the appointment from civil life of
a few less than five hundred staff offi-
cers and second lieutenants. The enor-
mous amount of work entailed upon
the president and the war department,
particularly the adjutant general and
his force, by these appointments, can
be imagined when it is known that for
the five hundred appointments there
were more than 21.000‘ applicants.
Every one of the applications had to
be briefed. arranged and filed. and be-
fore the appointments were made many
of the applications had to be handled
several times. Eat‘h one had to be an-

SUPPLIES FROM NEW YORK.
A Cargo of Food for the Spaniard!
in Cuba.
Kingston, Jamaica, June l7.—A hea-
vy cargo of food supplies has been lan-
ded here by the steamer Castle Edin,
from Nev.z Kerk.
The cargo bears similar marks to
that of the cargo of the City of Kings-
ton, which has been transferred to the
Purisima Concepcion.
The cargo on the Castle Edin was
shipped by the same people—Liera &
Roca of New York—who furnished the
cargo for the City of Kingston.
ThePurisima Concepsion will sail
r\robably to-day. She has obtained an
English captain, Alexander Rennie,
who will take command.
Her bill of sale is registered to Cap-
tain William Hunter of Montego bay,
the pilot, who brought the ship around.
’i‘he Purisima’s officers state that a
Spanish in val officer was aboard the
Twickenh-am, but had landed at some
port before her capture.
Strong protests have been made by
Mr. Dent, the American consul, against
Jamaica being made the base for the
shipment of provisions and supplies to
the Spanish troops in Cuba.
. Many Spanish ships which have cal-
led recently have been allowed to
change to British register and take car-
goes to Cuban ports.’ These, in many
instances, have been landed at Bata-
bano, and sent by railway xto Havana.
Others have been sent to Manzanillo,
consigned to private persons, but later
sold to the Spanish commissariat.
Fifty Thousand Men Wanted.
Washington, June 17.———Reports re-
ceived at the adjutant general’s office
show that practically all the regiments
now in the field which are to be filled
to their maximum strength under the
president’s second call for troops, have
sent recruiting parties to the states
from which the organizations come to
obtain the necessary men for this pur—
pose. It will require beiween forty and
fifty thousand men to fill the existing
organizations to their maximum
strength. ,
Meanwhile the war department is not
making public the apportionment to the
states under the second call for 75,000
men. After the regimental recruiting
is well under way then the department
will indicate to the states such new
organizations as may be desired. It is
preferred that as far as practicable
the men recruited under the second call
first shall fill the existing regiments and
not be given the option of choosing be—
tween them and any new organiza-
tions. There are a. number of states
and territories which will not be per-
mitted to furnish troops under the sec-
ond call, as their quota is already fll-
led.
, Collector for lilanila.
W'ashington, June 17.——The president
has nominated Joseph F. Evans of San
Francisco to be a commissary of sub-
sistence, with rank of captain.
This appointment means that Cap-
tain Evans is to go with General Mer-‘
riti‘s expedition to Manila, and after
the military government is established
Captain Evans. will be appointed col-
lector of customs for Manila and the
Philippines. .
Evans is an old treasury agent and
has been here for some time making
a study of the subject of customs for
the Philippines. As it will be a mili-
tary government. the collector has to
be an officer of the army, and hence his
appointment.

all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA Fro SYRUP Co.

assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par-
ties. The high standing of the CALI-

cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bov‘vels Without irritating or weaken-v
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
