Alston has received orders to equip his Regiment and report to (?en. Fitzhugh Lee at Jacksonville, Fla., as soon as possible. Thc news was received with rejoicing by the men, and they are taking more interest than ever in drilling so RS to bo in readi ness when the time comes to move. Messrs. H. C. Daggctt, T. Page and Millcdge Bonham were transferred from Company II to Company C on Friday last. These gentlemen re ceived a cordial welcome from the men, and I am sure will be a credit to the Company. Company C has been honored in the appointment of Private J. B. Dodd to the position of Regimental Bugler. It has raiued almost every day since Sunday last, and these rains have laid the dust and cooled the atmosphere until it is e. pleasure to drill. Our Regimental Band now compares favorably with any band at Camp Thomas, and tho musio it dispenses each morning and evening is much enjoyed by the men in camp. Capt. H H. Watkins is ill with a slight attack of malarial fever, but it is hoped will soon recover. Quartermaster Johnson has estab lished a Company store at tho end of our street, and has stocked it with peanuts, syrup and other things to sell to tho soldiers, thc profits to go to the Company fund. On Friday evening Lieut. Grant commanded Company C at brigade drill and acquitted himself with all the skill and ease of a veteran com mander, and the members of the Com pany were complimented for the quick ness and precision with which they obeyed the commands. Victor Cheshire is mail carrier for 1st Regiments. C.V., and he sayB the little cray mule upon which he rides must have some musical talent, for he is continually practicing the "backstep march"-except when he's hacking. While some of the privates in Com pany C are slightly indisposed, there ace none of them seriously sick. Chief Trumpeter J. B. Dodd is engaged in organising a drum and bugle corps, which will consist of 15 bugles, 4 fifes and 4 drams. JAS P. KILLEBREW. The Second Call for Volunteers. WASHINGTON, June 17.-Adjutant Gen. Corbin tonight made public the number of additional regiments, bat talions, companies, or batteries re quired from each State under the second call of the President for volun teers. The organizations from each State, the nnmber of which is here with given, will be in addition to the number of men which will" be enlisted from the several States to fill the maximum of 106 men to a company the organization now in the field. Of the 75,000 men required under the President's second call, 43.000 will he needed to recruit the existing volunteer regiments up to the maxi mum strength. Under the second call the various States and territories will f urotah, aa organisations, 22 regiments of infantry, six regiments and three oompanies of infantry in unattached organisations; 14 light batteries and three heavy batteries. According to the statement made by Adjutant Gen. Corbin new organisations will be ap portioned among some of the States ss follows: Georgia, one regiment of infantry; South Carolina, two battalions in fantry; Virginia, two battalions infan try. Florida, having under the first call famished in excess of its quota, will not be jailed upon to furnish any new organization under the second call, nothing beyond fit!:cg tho organiza tion now in the service. -- "Say," said the city youth to the modest countryman, "hay-peed out o' your hair yet?"

WASHINGTON, June is.-The origi-1 nal plans of campaign for the conduct of the war ngaiust Spain will bc ad hered to, and will bo pushed with vigor and energy. That dt cisi?n was roached at a war council hold at the White House to day, at which were present President McKinley, Secre taries Alger and Long, (Jen. Miles, Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn, Ad miral Sicurd and Capt. Malian. Of course there will be some slight modi fications made necessary by thc changes that have occurred since the beginning of hostilities, but these, after all, will uot affect the general plans of operations. Gen. Mile? re turned from Florida with information respecting the condition of troops, difficulties to be expected in the pro gress of tho change and needs in tho matter of transportation facilities that would be freely availed of to correct the defects i ti thc present system as has developed. Thc conference wa? entirely harmonious. Thc ouly reason that thc commanding general did not visit the White Ilou?c yesterday waB because of a desire ou thc President's part that his war councillors should have the benefit of Geu. Miles' recital of hin observations at first hands. The stories that there has been friction between Ci cn. Miles and his official superiors aro pronounced to bc absurd by all concerned, and to-day proceedings gave ampio evidence of the fact that the utmost harmooy characterizes the relations between thc Chief Kxocuiive and thc military branch of the Government. There were, of course, some differences of opinion among thc persons present at the war council, but them has been no disposition in any quarter to resist for an instant any concession which has secured the approval of the Presi dent. The official declaration to the effect that the campaign is to be pushed with vigor does not necessarily mean an immediate attack on Havana, al though such advice bas been tendered. It does mean that thc very best efforts are to be put fourth to get the army in conditiou where it can be used with overwhelming effect at any point or points at almost a moment's notice. To this end the troops uow in camp are to be thoroughly trained and hardened, and when they leave the United States their equipment will be the best a soldier eau have, fit for any season, wet or dry, cold or hot. With such an army at command, numbering no less than lUU.OUU, the fate of Havana cannot long remain in doubt when once this army is hurled upon it. Meanwhile the smaller expedition ary movements are to go forward un interruptedly. When Santiago is captured the trained regulars, who do the work there will be pushed on to Porto Rico. If all or most of them are needed for this expedition then the "provisional force," referred to by Gen, Sh after in his orders, prob ably will be dispatched immediately from the United States to garrison the town of Santiago and to relieve the reg ulars. Probably knowledge of some such intention has led to the rumor which found free currency to-day, to the affect that 4,ODO men from Gen. Gra ham's camp had been ordered to pro ceed immediately to reinforce Shafter at Santiago, making the passage on the big ocean liners Harvard and Vale, late the. New York and PariB, which are now in Hampton Roads. As a matter of fact Secretary Alger said this afternoon that he had as yet given no orders for the sending of troops away from Camp Alger, nor had he ordered any extensive move ment elsewhere. The rooms of Secre tary Alger were th rouged to-day by friends of the many candidates for appointment from civil life as second lieutenant in the army. There are to be 200 of these appointments, aud it was announced this afternoon that they would be made public in the newspapers Monday morning. Straight From Gomez. Nair YORK, June 18-Capt. Rafael Conto of tho Cuban anny has arrived at the headquarters of the Cuban jun ta of this city with dispatches from Gen. Gomez. He was accompanied by a lieutenant of the army of liberation. Capt. Conte and his companion left Gomes in Las Villas. The general theuhad'with him a body guard of only 60 men-a cavalry escort. There was little, food in the region where Gomez was making his headquarters, so he did not mass any large number of men there, but spread them over a large extent of territory and directed their movements from his headquarters. He has all the necessary arrange ments made fer thc concentration of the troops'when the proper time comes, but keeps them scattered and employ ed in a guerrila warfare in the mean time BO that they may find food. The captain claims that Gomes can concentrate 30,000 armed men in a short time at any p lint whero it is de sirable. There are several thousand more men who aro attached to Gomez's army, and are only waiting for arms to be available for defensive or offen sive operations. . In a skirmish with guerillas about three weeks ago Gomez was wounded in tho left arm by a Mauser bullet. The wound healed quickly, however, in spite of the general's advanced age, and when the? captain left headquar ters the old chief was able to use his arm as well aa before ho was hit. - C. J.

A Stampede in Camp at Tampa. WASHINGTON, June 10.-A special to the Post from Tampa says: At 10 o'clock tonight 3,000 horses aud mules broke from their corrals and stampeded through the camps of Gen. Carpenter's brigade. It was so dark and the excitement was so great in the District of Columbia camp that it was impos sible to learn if any men were hurt. The panic among the men was terrible. Officers tried to get their companies into line, but the army of wild horses made that impossible. Many men began shooting at the excited animals, but this only excited them more. It seems impossible to stop the stampede tonight. The horses seemed to be attracted by the tents, and they rush ed through the brigade of three regi ments and then back again, taking a different course each time. They have already destroyed many tents, kitchen and camping paraphernalia. It is not known what started the animals on their wild rush. Taps had just sounded in a.? the camps, and the bands had played their good-nights. The men were hardly asleep, wheo a loud cracking, like the fire of a Gatling gun, startled them. It was the break ing down of the corral fence, a high wooden affair. In the next moment the excited and panting'horses rushed into the New York camp, whioh was nearest the break in the fence. The rush sounded like a thunder storm. The New York camp's sentinels began to yell like mad men: "Call out the guards !" "Cail out thc guards!" The guard hurried out, but it was useless, as the animals were then rushing over everything in their path. In half an hour the camps had been stampeded several times, and there seemed to be no hope of driving the beasts away from tho beach. Forty men were mounted by ll o'clock, and they were able to check thc rush some little, or, at least, to steer thc horses from the camp. Ready to Land. WASHINGTON, June 20.-It is stated officially that there is now no doubt ?.hat General Shafter's military expe dition han arrived ?afely off Santiago by this time. It ia not admitted that advices to thst effect have been received, but it is presumed that the war officials sp?ak from knowledge According to the plans arranged for the debarkation, the fleet of transports is to lie in a safe place until Sampson has cleared the way fov a landing. The selection of thc landing place has been left entirely to the judgment of Admiral Sampson and General Shafter. the military commandor, and tho first business in order, upon the arrival of the transport fleet off Santi ago would be, it is said, a war council between Admiral Sampson and some of his naval captains on tho one hand and Major General Shafter and nis staff on the other, the. purpose being to settle all the details of the debark ation. Meanwhile the fleet of trans ports would lay at ova at ?east ten miles beyond the blockading squadron in order to be entirely safe from attack by Spanish torpedo boats. A great deal depends on the point selected for the landing. It was thought that Aguadores, to the east of Morro, about six or eight miles, would be a likely landing in view of the faot that it has a wharf, the property of an iron oro company, which would be extremely useful for landing tho heavy supplies and ordnance of the sieg? trains. It is reported now, however, that this particular wharf has been commended by Spanish bntterios which have been so placed aa to giv? an enfilading fire upon it. If this In tt'A then the batteries must first b< silenced.
