Quota Under New Call—Rail-
sthington, June 7.—The war de-
partment has received the report from
General Frank in regard to the change
of the camp from Hempstead and its
location at Montauk Point.
There is little doubt felt by depart-
ment officials that Montauk has been
definitely determined as the ‘site for the
big camp to be located near New York.
General Corbin is strongly in favor of
this place, which is almost enough to
insure its acceptance. The'many ad-
vantages possessed by Montauk Point
make it an ideal place for such a reni
dezvous, and it is confidently expected
that in a few davs official orders will
be issued designating it as the mobili-
zation point for an army corps. -
General Corbin says that the depart-
ment has reached no determination in
regard to the movement of the three
New York regiments now at Camp
Black. The adjutant general of the
army has practically c0mpieted the ap~
pointment of the troops to be raised
under the new callfor volunteers. New
York’s quota will be three regiments of
infantry, which are to be recruited af-
ter the regiments now in the field from
the Empire state have been filled up to
their maximum strength. It is proba-
ble that the call to Governor Black and
to-
day _
The work of recruiting the regiments
to their full number will first be com-
pleted, and after the colonels of the dif-
ferent regiments report that their for-
ces have been brought up to the stand-
ard required by the Hull law, the new
regiments will be organized.
As heretofore announced, probably
two-thirds of the 75,000 men called for
will be used in filling up the companies
and regiments now inthe field, and it
is thought that the balance, which will
constitute about one corps, will be or-
dered to the camp at Montau-k Point.
General Howard Carroll was at the 1
war department yesterday and made a
strong effort to haVe the war depart-
ment assign to New York’s quota some ,
artillerymen. “.1: mission was a. fail-
ure, and although he told General Cor-
bin that he had a full regiment of light
artillery, armed and equipped for im.
mediate service, the department would
not agree to accept the troops. General
Carroll was informed that the rainy
season has set in in'Cubaend that it
will be impossible to operate artillery-
men in‘ the soft roads there.
' Railroad Officials Visit the Proposed Camr.
'Montauk, L. 1., June 7.—President
William H. Baldwin,-Jr., and a. party
of ten railroad officials made a visit to
the proposed military camp near Fort
'1 Pond zbay, ,Montauk, Sunday morning.
The party arrived at an early hour on'
a. special train, consisting of the com-
pany’s inspection car and a parlor
coach. They were met at Montauk de-
pot and driven in carriages over the
hills and rolling pasture lands near the
plains where it is expected the army
camp will be located.
If the war department decides this
week to order troops to Montauk it is
understood that the construction of a
trolley line connecting Fort Pond bay
with Montauk Point, six miles to the
east, will be begun at onCe.
A Promising Outlook.
Chicago, June 7.—There has'never
been a time when the railroad situation
in the West looked more promising for
the summer-and fall traffic. Crop pros-
pects are. generaliyas good as can be
desired, and while there are isolated
cases where the small grains have suf-
fered a little damage from too much
moisture, conditions on the whole are
favorable for the largest wheat crop on
record. The acreage is so large that
the crop can be reduced 50,000,000 to
75,000,000 bushels from the present esti-
mated yield and still be a record break-
er. Prospects for cats, I‘Ve and corn
are also fine, except for the latter in
bottom lands, which are too wet. With
prese’nt prospects maintained until the
end of harvest, there will be more grain
in the West to haul to market than
the roads have ever known. This, with
the improved financial condition of the
farmers and of merchants and manu-
facturers, Will give the western and
eastern lines an the traffic they can
handle, both East and Westbound.
Merchants say they have never sold
as many goods in advance for the fail
trade. nterior retailers are more dis.-
posed to place orders, and there is a
feeling of decided confidence every-
where, both as to prospects for a con—
tinued unprecedented distribution of
goods at fair profits, and for good earn-
ings for the railways.
Earthquake in Kentucky.,
Cincinnati, June 7.—A severe earth-
quake occurred in northern Kentucky,
between 2 and 3 o'clock yesterday
morning. At , Paris several persons
were thrown from their beds. At Mays—
ville the vibration lasted thirty seconds
and was very forcible. At Millersburg
the people were panic-stricken, and
many fled from their homes. At Twing
the shock was felt two minutes, spread-
ing terror among the people.
thiana the shock was accompanied by 1
loud report and at Owings-ville meteors
have been falling in the daytime.
To Allow Voting in the Field.
Rochester, June 7.—Senator .John
Raines of Canandaigua has been direc-
ted by Governor Black to formulate a
bill .covering the election laws, modelled
from the laws of 1895, but changed to
suit the modern la.,.w so that the ab-
sent soldiers or sailors of‘ the state may
retain their vote.
Oldest New Yo~k Mason Dead.
Saratoga, N. Y., June 7.—-Levi Hatch,
aged 90, is dead at Hartford, Washing-
ton county. He was the oldest Mason
in the state, and was treasurer of the
"Herschel Lodge of Hartford for thirty
years. He is- survived by a widow and
five sons.
At Cyn- ‘
THE MONTEREY AND MOHIVCAN.
These Iron Clads Will Join Dewey in’the
Philippines.
San Francisco, Jufie 7.—The Mohican
is believed to be on her way to join the
American fleet in the Philippines and
the Monterey sailed last night. The
orders to the Mohican are merely to go
to Honolulu, “.but it is believed that
sealed orders, which will be opened at
that port, direct that she shall proceed
'to Manila.
The orlers for the Mohicah to sail for
Honolulu came unexpectedly Saturday
night. She was then at Mare island,
and the marine guard was taken from
the Pensacola and transferred to the
Mohican, which early Sunday came
down and anchored near Athe Monterey
A few stores and a large quantity of
mail were put aboard. At fifteen min-
utes past 1 o'clock she Weighed anchor.
As she passed out the Golden Gate the
ship ‘of war was saluted by all the
steam vessels in the bay.
The coast defence vessel Monterey
and the collier Brutus, which will prob-
ably get away today, will go to Hono-
lulu at a. uniform speed of, about ten
knots an hour. At this rate it will take
them nine days to cover the, distance.

TO REORGANIZE THE THIRTEENTH.
A Chance to Be Given to the New Orga-
nization to Go to the Front.
Albany, June 7.—Governor Black is
now believed to be considering serious-
ly the question of reorganizing the
Thirteenth regiment of Brooklyn. He
was led to think favorably of the mat-
ter as the result of a visit made to him
at the Capitol yesterday by a delega-
tion of Brooklyn military ofiiciais in-
tere'sted in the rehabilitationof the.reg-
iment. The delegation included Colonel
Robert B. Woodward, ex-adjutant of
the Thirteenth regiment; Colonel Wil'
liam Cary Sanger, formerly its major,
and General A. L. Barnes, formerly its
colonel. Colonel Woodward and his as-
sociates afterwards called at the ad-
jutant general’s department, where
they further discussed the subject
which brought them to Albany.
It is not unlikely that Governor Black
will soon issue orders reorganizing the
Thirteenth regiment on a. war basis,
and that to it will be given a chance
to volunteer and to be sent to the front
under the sedond call for troops.
N EWS :FROM KEY WEST
Cnilxio Garcia Expected Ther
Soon.
Gen.
Key West, Fla., June 7.-—G-eneral Ca-
iixto Garcia, second in command of the
Cuban army, is expected here soon. It
is stated that the object of the visit of
Mendes Capote, the Cuban vice presio
dent, to Washington, is to request-our
government to furnish several guns,
anl that'the Cubans be allowed to fly
the Cuban flag.
The junta here yesterday received in-
formation from Havana that unusual
activity prevails in Spanish circles.
Captain General Blanco. is forcing all
Cubans to enlist. and he is now at work
on a trocha‘south of—Havana, running
up earthworks and masked batteries.
Spain’s New Loan.
Paris, June 7.—The Temps yesterday
published a dispatch from Madrid,
which announced that the Spanish
minister of finance, Senor Puigcerver,
had submitted to the cabinet the ar—
rangements for the new loan which.it
is understood is to be made wlthou‘.
the guarantee of tobacco monopoly and
without the assistance of foreign capi-
tal.
The Bank of Spain, it is said, will ad-
vance, when necessary, in installments,
the sum of one billion pesetas, the
amount of the loan, and will undertake
the foreign expenses of the army and
navy. The government, it is added, es-
timates that it has sufficient resources
fol-several months.
News of Gridley’s Death.
Erie, Pa, June 7.—-Late Sunday night
the family of Captain C. V. Gridley,
residinghere, were notified by the na-
vy department of the death of the hus-
band and father in Japan, as a result
of the battle at Manila. The blow
came with telling effect, and the mem-
bers of the family are prostrated with
grief.
Captain Gridley was the son— in- -law
of Judge G. P. Vincent of this city,
and was the father of three children,
two daughters and a son. Mrs. Grid-
ley was in the midst of preparations
to go to San Francisco to meet her hus-
band and accompany him across the
continent to his home.
A Political. Battle.
New York, June 7.——War against
Governor Black, it is said by friends of
Senator Platt, will begin in earnest to-
day, The first battle will be fought a:
the primary elections. While the Dem-
ocrats, well under the control of Tam-
many, will enter the field almost unit-
.ed, the Republican forces will be di-
vided against themselves. It is gener-
ally believed that Senator Platt will
make an effort to elect anti-Black dele.
gates to the state convention.
At to-day’s primary elections 1,342
delegates to the Republican city com-
mittee will be elected, [34 of them in
New York county; 221 delegates to the.
New York ,county commmittee and
about seventy-five delegates to each as-
sembly district convention. On the!
Democratic side a county committee
and assembly district delegates will be
elected.

REWARD FOR LIEUTENANT HOBSON;
I‘he Question of 8. Proper Recognition of
His Services.
Washington, June 7.-The uppermost
topic here is Lieutenant Hobson's ex—
ploitin the harbor of Santiago. It has
added a. little to the spice of. the old
controversy between line and staff in
the navy, as Hobson belonged to the
prowess has placed his name high up
among 'the heroes of the line. The
prominence given to Cadet Powell in
the enterprise, which will probably win
{or him some notable tribute from the
department, was attributed bv many
:0 the desire of the line to save itself
from being left out altogether in the
distribution of honors, but reference to
the records shows that Powell was
himself destined to be a member of the
staff, being a pupil in the class in nava!
architecture that Hobson had in train-
ing when the war broke out- He was
probably selected by iHobson for his
perilous duty because they were so well
acquainted with each other.
The question, what reward will b!
given Hobson? will have to ”limb
ed by Congress. That secretary Long
will make a very handsome recommen-
dation in his behalf is unquestionable.
Until an exchange of prisoners can be
effected, the message of congratulation
- and thanks which will be sent him
’rom the department must be withheld,
is there is no means of communicating
with him in the fortress where he is
confined. If the exchange is made on
1/‘basls of paroles on both sides, Hob-
son will be bound to abstain from fur-
ther active participation in the war.
but this would not prevent his being
detailed to a first rate place at one of
the yards, or at the department, with
advanced rank and pay.
Chief Engineer Melville’s comment on
Hobson’s exploit was that it showad
the stuff our navy is made of, from
the commander on the bridge to the
engineer in the bowels of the ship.
“It is folly," he said, ."to draw dis-
tinctions between the branches of the
service to which our men belong. What-
ever and wherever they may be, all
they need is opportunity."
In this case it is stated at the depart-
ment that there will be no need of a
parole for Hobson or his men, as the
*oled prisoners.
REPORTED PEACE NEGOTIATIONS.
Why Spain Would Not Be Likelyio Act
Through Great Britain.
Washington, June 7.——Secretary Day
was asked yesterday what foundation
there was for the reportspublished in
some of the morning papers, of peace
negotiations opened by Spain through
the mediumship of Great Britain.
“I do not know- of any,” he answered.
Lrater he inquired more particularly in
what papers the eacount of the over-
tures could be found. ”I shall have to
read them," he said, “and see whether
[ cannot get some information on the
subject. I certainly have none now."
In the diplomatic circle here it is con-
sidered in the last degree unlikely that
if such negotiations Were attempted at
the present stage, Great Britain would
be the agent chosen for conducting
them. This is not becauseSpain would
not-be glad of the aid ofaz power stand--
ing in such friendly relations with the
United States, but becauSe the British
government would not, for reasons of
its own, care to appear in an attitude
of intervention. It would be hardly
friendly to our government to propose
a cessation of warfare while the plans
of the administration for bringing
Spain to terms by stripping her of mom
of her colonial possessions were stilt
incomplete.
Again, all of Great Britain' s individ-
maining our staunchfriend as long as
jealousy and ill will are manifested to-
wards us by any of the continental na-
tions The moral effect of her position
would be partly- lost, Of course, if the
situation .were changed so .as to render.
her friendliness less valuable. While,
therefore, she probably would do noth-
ing to prevent the consummation of
peace measures if they proceeded from
some other source. andwere entirely
welcome to us, it‘is-not believed that
she would act as a go-between herself,
except at the.request of our govern-
ment.
- Hawaiian Question To-Day.
Washington, June 7.-—The Hawaiian
lquestion is expected to come up in the
House to- day, without a rule for its
consideration being reported. Advocates
of annexation in the Senate express the
opinion that when the minority in that.
body see that the majority will not
yield to a. filibuster, and that obstruc-
tion is likely to prolong the session .in—
definitely, they will permit a vote to be
taker1._
They sav. however, that after the
House has adopted the annexation res-
olutions, the islands will be annexed,
even if a vote on the proposition is pre-
vented in the'Senate.
The opinion is expressed by a num-
ber of the leaders in Congress that Con--
gress will adjourn for the session with-
in two or three weeks.

Upon What It Depends and
How it May-Be waged.
The person does not live 'whose pulse

does not ex1st who does not feel the
'impulseto heroic deeds for which war
affords such a field. But heroic deeds
and successful war depend, as do the
vict01 ies of commerce and the counting
house, upon that perfect health that
allows the brain to move on free from
the countless annoyances and irrita-
tions that sap nervous vitality and de-
stroy physical force.
Irritation of the mucous membrane,
as the result of the ravages of Catarrh
and various allied mucous diseases
which are so apt to accompany or fol-
low it, is the most fruitful source of
that 00nstant irritation of the nerves
that has checked great careers and
broken giant intellects; that has
brought the athlete to the grave and
the philosopher to the madhouse, for
consumption and insanity aie common
results of catarrh.
But in Norwalk the great enemay of
catarrh is at work. California Catarrh
Cure .is waging successful war upon
mucous diseases. Colds are broken up,
tonsilitis is relieved, diphtheria is
checked, bronchitis and consumption
are entirely prevented, and catarrh,
the source of all the first named dis-
eases, is cured; and California Catarrh
Cure keeps on its great work, curing
and to cure. Note What it is doing
every da ay.
Mr. D. C. Croft, 11 East avenue, East
Norwalk, after suffering with catarrh
for yeais, tells of his relief as follows:
“I find that California. Catarrh Cure
has relieved me ve1 y much: It keeps
my head and throat much clearer than
they had been for a. long time, and the
relief IS wonderful. Anyone suffering
from catarrh 1n any form will surely
find it an excellent remedy. It relieves
at once, and I believe the relief is per-
manent.”

Give and 1t Shall be Given You.
There is in Austria a monastery
which, in former times, was very rich,
and remained rich so long as it was
charitable to the poor; but when it
ceased to give, then it became indi-
gent, and is so to this day. Not» long
since, a poor man went there and Solic-
ited aims, which was denied him. He
demanded" the reason why they refused
to give'for God’s sake. The porter of
the monastery answered: “We are
become pcor;” whereupon the mendi-
cant said, “The cause of your poverty
is this: Ye had formerly in the mon-
astery two brethren, the one named

The Fat Man Gets Even.
A party of travelers were all in the

fattest, turned in early. The others

The favorite method was to wait un-'

throw something in the berth. At 10
o 'clock One of the party carelessly toss-
