MILITIA FORCES
BEIWimtO
War Department Colllecting
Information About Troops
of All the States.
SATISFACTORY SHOWING
Many States Have Well Drilled and
Equipped Forces Which Could
be Put Into Active Service.
Washington, April 2. — The military in
formation division of the war department
i has in preparation a publication giving a
I great mass of information concerning the
I militia of the different states and territo-
I ries, based on returns for 1897. It is of
I peculiar interest at this time, in view o'
the possibility of that reserve army being
called upon for active service, For the
sake of ready reference there has been pre
pared a summary showing the more impor
tant features of the operations of the
guard. Among the facts shown are the
■ following:
The total authorized strength is 184,848
I more than the organized strength. Okla
homa has the smallest force, 500, and New
i York the largest. '
There are regularly organized state hos
pital or ambulance corps in California,
Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Massa
j chusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New
I Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island,
Utah, Vermont and the District of Colum
bia. Many of the states have very effi
cient regimental hospital and ambulance
corps. Signal corps are reported as or
ganized in a number of states. Official
state encampments of instruction were
held in thirty-one states during 1897.
The duration of encampments varied
from two days in Nebraska to ten days in
the District of Columbia, six days being
the average. Regular troops encamped
with state troops in Alabama, California,
Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Tennessee,
Texas and Vermont. Seventeen states,
Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Maine, Mas
sachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, New
Hampshire, New York, North Carl in a,
Ohio, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas,
Vermont and Wisconsin are reported as
owning their camp grounds.
As to armament the conditions are:
Infantry--All the states except Delaware,
Idaho, Illinois, Louisiana and New York,
are completely armed. In New York the
Remington rilles are now being exchanged
for Springfield rifles, calibre 45.
Cavalry—The cavalry of all the states
is armed with the Springfield carbine, cal
ibre 45, except Illinois, Louisiana, Oregon,
South Carolina and New Mexico. The Il
linois cavalry is reported “same as in the
regular service.”
The greater part of the cavalry is also
armed with the sabre and revolver in ad
dition to the carbine.
Artillery—Thirty-one out of the thirty
nine states having artillery organizations
have one or more gatling guns.
Some states have the calibre 32 B. L.
rifles; but a large proportion of the artil
lery armament is old and out of date.
j The equipment in 1897 though in slight
ly better shape than the year before, is
still far from complete. Considerable im
provement was shown in the case of
equipment. In almost all cases the artil
lery harness is old and practically worth
iness. Most of the field and staff officers
in all the states own their own mounts.
There was a slight increase in the num
ber of shelter tents. The tentage is report
ed as ample for the entire guard in Color
ado, Connecticut, Delaware, Kansas, Ne
braska, New York, North Carolina, Penn
| sylvania, Vermont, Washington, Wiscon
, sin, and the District of Columbia.
Weekly drills by company and field ex
, ercises were held in many states, and
twenty states report a regular course of
j instruction at armories during the winter
i months. Guard duty was performed in a
i manner far from satisfactory. There was
I a marked increase in the amount of out
post duty. Target practice was held in
j thirty-four states.
Although many states permit the exist
j ence of independent commands, the ten
| dency is more to discourage their support
: or organization, particularly in the near
| vicinity of the home stations cf guard, for
i the reasons that they absorb material that
I would otherwise find its way into the
ranks of the regular organization and be
, sidese, not being subject to the uniform
I discipline of the regular state forces, they
cannot be counted on in an emergencv.
In the following states and territories
I the guard was called on to aid the civil
authorities in maintaining the law: Ala
bama, California, Colorado. Illinois. • Ken
; lucky, Ohio. Pennsylvania, Texas. Wash
ington and New Mexico.

TOO PROUD
To Beg Are Some Starving Cubans—Terri
ble Cruelty at Sagna.
Fernandina, Fla., April 2.—The barken
i tine Jennie Sweeney. Captain S. S. Hud
son, arrived in this port direct from Sagua
la Grand, Cuba, where it went from Phil
-1 adeiphia with a cargo of coal. Captain
Hudson handed a slip of paper to your
representative, on which was written:
“Help asked for 29,000 persons. Helped
19,950 persons. Supplies given in Santa
Clara Province.
“Walter B. Baker,
“United States Consul.”
Captain Hudson said that this memoran
dum was taken ofi the consulate books by
the consulate himself. He said:
“I am sorry now that I did not try to
get more information, and possibly I might
have used it in some way to help those
poor, miserable, staving people.”
“Women and children, old men, dirty
and in rags, with bony limbs, were at the
consulate. Consulate Baker would take
their names and where their huts were
situated, and would send one of his men
to see them.”
While Captain Hudson was there the
consul received a private letter from an
American with a check for SI,OOO inclosed,
with a short letter, telling the consul of
the desperate state of affairs which exist
ed among the better class of people, who
were too proud to beg, but who were
i sorely in need. The writer asked that the
consul have these people looked up and
use the SI,OOO to help them.
Captain Hudson said that the Spanish
soldiers locked as poor and bad as the
starving people, and he said he is sure
ten of Uncle Sam’s soldiers could lick
one hundred such Spaniards as are seen
i in and around Sagua.

J. F, CARENEY’S PICTURES
Will be Shown at the Academy on Tuesday
Night.
J. Franklin Caveny, who will lecture
here on Tuesday night next is one of the
greatest entertainers on the stage. His is
an entertainment unique, instructive and
surprising. It is the demonstration of a
marvelous talent. A. E. Palmer, of the
Central Lyceum Bureau, says of him:
“It is with sincere pleasure that I speak
of the platform work of Mr. Caveny. I
have had the opportunity of seeing his
work both in part and full programs, and
unhesitatingly say that his “Chalk Talks”
never fc.il to captivate his audience. There
is a novelty in his work which gives the
charm; there is variety which gives the
spice; there is strength coupled with deft
ness which gives character. He is by tem
! perament and education, an artist; by
genius, an entertainer. Mr. Caveny has
j won golden opinions’ and he continues to
I be received with the very warmest favor
I and delight.
