ARRANGEMENTS MADE TOR RE CEIVING THE RECRUITS FOR THE THIRTEENTH.' From a Stuff Correspondent. Camp Daniel H. Hasting, Mt. Gret na, Pa., May 0. The main question here, "When do we go?" nnil "Where will they take usV" still remains un answered, but certain well authenti cated rumors, some bits of definite In formation and certain appurtenant cir cumstances give a reasonably accep table response to both Interrogations. It was rumored throughout the camp, and I heard it at the United States nrmy headquarters In the paik, that the war department had made requisi tion for three thousand Pennsylvania troops by messenger lust night nnd that as soon as volunteers to that num ber had been sworn In they were to be despatched at once to Washington und thence to form a part of the force that will supplement the- regulars who, ac cording to Washington dispatches of the last few days, are to be thrown Into Cuba at once. The circumstances giving color to tills rumor is the otherwise unac countable haste with which the mus tering In work wns prosecuted today. Orders weie sent out to all the regi mental commanders this morning, dl jcctlng them to present their compan ies for muster as fast ns they were gotten Into acceptable shape and not to wait for the filling out of the regi ment. All day long this work has ben carried on with all speed and at this hour, 9 o'clock, it is still in pro Kiess. CERTIFYING THE NAMES. Major Millar, wlic with Inspector General Edward Morrell and Division Inspector James A. O. Campbell, Is certifying the papers of the companies as they pass from the state militia Into the United States army, told me that they were advised by the regular army representative, Major Paxson, that they could expect to be on duty till midnight. So far. Companies 13, A, and D, of the Fourth regiment, Third brigade, located respectively at Allentown, Reading and Allentown, and Compani es, Thlid regiment, First brigade, lo cated at Philadelphia, htive been sworn In and Company II, Eighth regiment. Third brigade, located at Pottsvllle Is undergoing preliminaries to take the oath. That general orders were promulgat ed Friday by the state oiltcers directing that the First, Second and Third bri gades should present themselves re si ectlvely on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday 1o the United States army recruiting oiUcera Is a significant fact, in this connection. As to the T.S00 re maining men It Is figured that they will be more leisurely iecrulte.1 and when the work Is completed they will be transferrtd to a more convenient In struction camp, and in the llsht of the report that the government has leased l.ft'O acres of land ut I-.ull Run, It Is net unlikely that this Is where the rcn-, dezvou? will be. At the present rati! of mustering' In the whole division could be put In shape for movement before the week is out. At tho rate with which work was canted on previous to yesterday's rush orders It would re quire the full week and a couple of days besides with no serious hitches intervening. ON.T,Y ONE APPOINTMENT. In the matter of the recognition of the militia, officers It Is agreed on all sides that only one of the four gen eials will receive nn appointment and that It will not be either Major Jenem! Snowden or Brigadier General Schall. As between Generals Gobln and Wylle it Is a case of take your choice. Gen eral Gobln's friends say that he ha3 had positive ussurance of p., and that he himself feels as confident of the place as if he had the commission In his pocket. Today a colonel who enmo direct from Washington stated that he had been given to understand at the war department that one of Pennsyl vania's generals would bo appointed a brigadier and that it would not be Gen eral Goblu. The last story Is accepted in the upper circles and thla evening the feeling prevails that General Wylle will bo the man. The recruits for tho Thirteenth up on their arrival today will probably ha detained for tho night in the "chick en coop," as each company has but twenty-two tents for Its 75 men and extra cots have net yet been secured for the accommodation of five men to a tent, as will be the condition resulting from the inability to secure extra tents. Although tho weather and ground were favorable there was no drill today, ex cepting tho drilling of recruits. There is nobody in tho hospital today. T. J. Duffy. FROST AT MT. QRETNA. Ica formed on the I'ooli Left by Nundnr'i Haiti. By Associated Press. Mount Gretna, Pa., May 9. The weather at Camp Hastings was In marked contrast to that of ydstcrday. During the night a heavy frost de veloped, hut throughout the day tho sun shone warmly, and tempered a cool breeze that swept across the valley. At some of tho higher points of tho camp a thin coating of Ico formed In the rut and gullies made by yester day's storm. The hardships of the past eleven days-, however, have so thor oughly seasoned the soldiers to the ex tremes of weather that there were no complaints. The recruits also were all supplied with blankets and subsistence and their condition Is much Improved over yesterday. So far only three have left the camp. The bad weather of yesterday has not developed any serious Illness, and not one patient has been placed In tho general hospital established yesterday as a precautionary step, Additional lecrults arrived today from Pittsburg, Sharon. Oil City, Erie nnd other west ern points. Mnjor Hall nnd his staff of assist ants were at work early to late exam ining the arrivals. Those nccepted were Immediately assigned to their respect ive companies. The mustering of the Intter began today. It moved slowly, owing to delay In making out the mus ter rolls. A detail of clerkH were put to work on them tonight, nnd tomor row morning moie haste will be made. Five companies were sworn In today. The tlrst was Company B, Fourth legl ment, of Allentown, Captain Medlar commanding. The others were Com panies A and D. Fourth regiment; C, Third leglment, and H, Eighth. Major Thompson today announced that the commissions of the regiment and company oltlcer3 will date from the time of their appointment, and their ' I relative rank wil remain the same as It now Is. It was reported during the day that a prominent olllcer of the guard just returned from Washington had been Informed by the president that the Pennsylvania regiments were to be distributed among regiments from other states. Major Thompson states that no orders have been received from Washington regarding such an Inten tion. Lleutenunt Colonel Hoffman wus to day elected colonel of the Eighth regi ment, succeeding Colonel Mngec, who was rejected by the medical hoard. Captains were also elected In sevetal compunles of the various regiments. (10SSIPOF 1 ME CAMP. From a Staff Correspondent. Camp Hastings, Mt. Gretna, May 9. A more beautiful day overhead could not be desired. It Is as beautiful as yesterday was miserable and ugly. Tho rain ceased at nightfall, the moon put in nn appearance towards midnight and at daybieak there was every in dication of fair weather. It came and with It came an expansion nnd rising of the men's shrunken and depressed spirits. Happily they set to work, as soon as the sun peeped over the hill, hanging out their rain-soaked clothing and badly dampened bedding, and when Old Sol took a look down on the camp he beheld a gigantic tusk laid out for his warming, absorbing tays. He evi dently wanted to make up for his ne glect of the past three days, and that he might the better succeed with the work In hand, summoned to his aid a dry, warm breeze and between the two I there was a rapid metamorphosis in 1 tho camp. The ground this afternoon was diy enough to permit of drills and even before 10 o'clock In the morning the parade ground, almost Impassable yes terday, was echoing the tramp of scores of squads of raw recruits being put through their first lessons in the art of soldiery. The company streets were I drained, puddles tilled In with dry earth, mud, that threatened to defy the power of the sun, shoveled away, nnd drains, dykes and embankments built to guard against another inun dation. The sunny side of every tent and fly was covered with overcoats, trousers, bedding nnd the like, and be- tween tents, stretched on cords, were articles or lighter weight that were being made lighter still by thd sun's absorption of their weighty wetness, And those poor recruits! The sun- i shine was certainly a Godsend to them. Had the storm not ceased when It did It is likely that there would be many of them emulating the disgusted re- crult from Torreysdnle who, after get ting a view of the prospects.upproached Major Parke and, making an awkward attempt at a military saluto he had seen others give, said In a tone that was pitifully earnest: "Say, mister, how the can I get to Philadelphia from here?" Now, that order has come out of chaos and work can be reguldrly car ried on, much progress Is being made with the weeding out of the non-ac- nattt nltla ninn nid 1 tin fllllrt t rt Vir. gaps with recruits. Every train that takes away a Miuart ot cripples biings In a squad of lecrults to tnke their places. This outBoliiB and Incoming continues all day lonir. When a recruit nrrlves he Is taken to the "chicken coop" and registered ly the t'nlted States army ofllcers. After , that his description Is carefully taken, i and when he has been supplied with a 1 lilanket he Is marched to tho company I he elects to Join.

Major Paxson reads the oath they are re quired to take and then usks thoso who will subscribe to raise their right hand to heaven and repeat it after him. It Is, as may be believed, an Impressive ceremony. The first infantry company to be mustered In was Company B, Fourth regiment, Third brigade of Allentown, of which Captain A. Meddler is com mander, it became a command of tho United States Volunteer army at 9.30 o clock this morning. Captain Willetts, of Company A, Reading, had his com mand at the recruiting stntlon first, but he had neglected to have his papers certified to by the state ofllcers at In spector Morrell's headquarters and liad to stand aside and see his Allentown friends win tho enviable distinction. Captain Thomas Oilman, of D, is offi cer of the day; Lieutenant II. D. Var coe, of E, otneer of the guard, and Private Merrlman, of D, colonel's ord erly. Captain Oilman, of Company D, re ceived a telegram today announcing that his first lieutenant, W. W. Inglls, who was in 'Bermuda on sick leave, ar rived In New York Sunday and will rejoin his company nt the earliest pos sible moment. Much regret was occasioned today by the announcement that First Lleuten ant William A. Raub, of Company C, had been rejected because of physical disability. The regimental surgeons who first examined him could not ac cept him nnd had to refer his case to Surgeon Major Hall, V. H. A. This morning Major Hall reported that tho case had been unfavorably considered. This leaves Company C without a lieu tenant, the second lieutenant, D. W. Davis, having shared a similar fate. Lieutenant Raub wns next to Lieuten ant Huff, the ranking lieutenant of the regiment and one of Its most popular ofllcers. Another officer whose departure from tho ranks will be a matter of regret Is Battalion Adjutant R. M. Stratton, who likewise could not pass the physical test. He did not go up for the exam ination. Major Parke In a preliminary examination deciding that It would be useless. Adjutant Stratton finally de elded this moinlng not to attempt to get through, nnd will go home tomor row. Dwlght S. Church, Company D, at tached to the hospital corps, whose case was referred to Surgeon Major Hall, was rejected this evening. Hospital Steward Joseph F. Eau melster returned home this afternoon. Who his successor will be has not been decided as yet, but Assistant Steward Kelly will bo temporarily In charge of the hospital. All volunteers accepted by the sur geons are to receive honorable dis charges from the National Guard "be cause of enlistment In the United States nrmy." Many of tho men who are candidates for long sot vice bars are not pleased with this Idea of In terrupting their continuous service and robbing them of a much-coveted honor. The complaints, however, are not very vociferous, ns the men realize that the order Is made necessary by the fact that the government like the gospel believes that no man can servo two masters. T. J.
