Camp Daniel II. Hasting-), Mt. Gret
tia, Pa.. May 11 The Thirteenth regi
ment will be In Tampa, l'lorlda, with
in ft week. The only It's and nnd's
about this Is that Major Thompson.the
war department's leprescntalve here,
knows whereof he" speaUs, and that the
oxlgonclos of war do not cau30 the au
thorities nt 'Washlnston to again
uhang their plan-j.
This ntornlnp at 5 o'clock, Private
Becietary Beltler cam over fiom Har
risburjr bearing dispatches from Secre
tarj' Alger to Governor Hastings. This
evening the governor gave It out o the
newspaper correspondents thatthemes
fcage from Washington contained no
tice that as soon as six regiments were
ready to be moeil, they were to be
Bent to Tampa, Tloilda.
Major Thompson gao further delln
lte Information to tho effect that the
ether regiments, likely tho whole divi
sion, would follow as fast as they could
be gotten leady. The Thirteenth con
fidently expects to bt mustTcd In be
fore noon tomorrow. The six regi
ments tv ho nra sure to bo tho first to
go, are the Tourth, Sixteenth, Third,
rirst, Fifth and either tho Fifteenth or
the Ninth.
FIVE REGIMENTS COMPLETE.
The five flrrt mentioned regiments
nie all oompleto and jeady to move on
short notice. All that lemulns to be
done to place them In readiness Is to
uniform the recruits and dlsttibute the
parks, caitrldges, belts and tins. This
part of the work is well under way. It
was begun this afternoon and soeral
of the regiments nra fully equipped
The uniforms given the lecrults are
hardly distinguishable In shade from
the National Guard uniform that th
oilglnal members of the companies will
tontlnun to wear. The Springfield
rjles with nhlch the state guard is
equipped will be taken along, but will
be exchange for I"rng-Jorgensn re
peaters as fast as the arsenals can turn
them out. Major Thompson says these
irglments In question will move to
morrow. HI Instructions vera to have
them on the load within forty-tight
lionrs.
Four 'Pullman cars, the "Wales,"
"Lena," "Selwn" and one that Is not
named, und about forty .passenger
coaches, together with a large number
of box cars, were switched into the
Gretna yard this morning. Other trains
of cais are expected In tonight. Super
intendent A. D. Smith, of the Cornwall
and Lebanon load, told me today that
he was Instructed the ttalns would be
moed tomorrow. Tho whole distance
will be accomplished by rail and there
will bo no stop at Washington or any
other Intervening rendezvous.
The work of mustering was again
carried on today with feverish haste
nnd at 10 o'clock tonight, when the
mustering ofllce In the paik closed
down for the night, over 5,000 Penn
sylvania volunteers had been trans
ferred Into the United States service.
THIRTEENTH NOT IN SHAPE.
Tho Ninth mustered In nil but two
of Its companies, but the Thirteenth
was unable to get any of Its commands
In shaoe for presentation. Colonel
Coursen, however, Is determined that
his regiment shall be mustered in to
morrow morning and to this end or
dered the company commanders not to
sleep tonight until their commands
wero ready In every respect for presen
tation to the mustering officers. The
filling of vacancies In oillclal position,
the eelcctlng and enlisting of reciults
nnd the making out of the muster rolls
and other requisite exhaustive reports
prove a greater task than was bar
gained for. At nightfall, however, the
work was about completed and there
Is little doubt but that tho regiment
will be ready to a man to be presented
by Governor Hastings to the mustering
officers at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
Governor Hastings inquired yester
day about the Thirteenth and expressed
surprlso that the regiment which was
first In so many things was not among

the first In becoming a part of the vol
unteer army.
There was deep regret throughout the
camp today when It wns announced
from 'Surgeon Major Hall's department
that Major George It. Whitney, of the
First battalion, nnd Captain J. O. Dim
mlck and Second Lieutenant IMwanl
McGee, of Company A, had been re
jected. The first-named because of
over ago and tho last two because of
physical disability. Major Whitney's
place will be filled by nn election to be
conducted by the field and staff.
This morning by appointment
and election nearly all the vacan
cies In oillclal positions In the Thir
teenth were filled. Regimental .Ser
geant Major Harry Coursen, who was
the ranking non-commissioned officer,
was appointed by Colonel Coursen to
the position of adjutant of the Second
battalion, made vacant by Dr. R. M
Stratton's fnllure to pass the physical
examination. Dr. G. W. Merrlman, of
Company D, was appointed hospital
steward to succeed Joseph F. Bau
melster, resigned
The other vacancy In headquarters,
the position of chief musician, Is still
open, Colonel Coursen not having come
to a conclusion regarding how he would
fill it. Musician John llaes has been
temporarily appointed to the place
There Is some talk of secur
ing a man from tho Third
brigade band to take up the big task
of building up the badly depleted drum
coips. As the position pays $G0 a month
there will be little or no trouble In
securing filling for It
Company C elected First Seigeant
Edward Burkhouse, unanimously, to
the position of first lieutenant, made
vacant by Lieutenant W. A. Raub's
Inability to pass the physical examina
tion. Fifth Sergeant Thomas Murphy
defeated Corporal Paul le Paschatls
for the second lieutenancy, vacated by
Lieutenant D. W Davis' rejection by
the surgeons. The filling of Lieuten
ant Scott's place In Company B was no
easy matter.
Company A this afternoon elected
First Lieutenant Samuel S. Derman to
be captain, Firtt Sergeant Herbert E.
Thajer to be Hist lieutenant, and Sec
ond Sergeant John A. Keith to be sec
ond lieutenant.
It was thought at first to invite Regi
mental Sergeant Major Couisen to be
come the companj's lieutenant and al
low ex-Battalion Sergeant Major Wil
liam Pierce to succeed to Dr. Strat
ton's place, but this plan was given up
and Captain Kambeck, after consulting
with his compnny, repotted Sergeant
George Roberts to headquarteis as his
choice for the lieutenancy.
Two of the captains have completed
the appointment of their non-commissioned
ofllceis as follows:

veilfy the examinations made b the
regimental burgeons Lieutenant In

and succeeded in passing all right.
It Is likely that Reese Watklns will
be back with the regiment again. An
order was Issued today ci eating a new
ofllce In each regiment, keeper of ord
nance. Its duties are much similar to
those of Inspector of rlllce practice,
and there Is every likelihood that the
Thirteenth's deposed Inspector will be
given this new berth
There Is Just a mere possibility that
the Thirteenth will not be allowed to
take their new ambulance with them
when they go afield. Lieutenant Hay,
I' S A., acting quartermaster of the
legular army here, has refused trans
portation for ambulances and ambu
lance hoises and mess tents. Whether
or not the regiments can take along
their ambulances at their own expense
has not been passed upon If there Is
any was of keeping the ambulance with
the regiment, Colonel Coursen proposes
to keep it If not. it will he sent home
That the preparations for departure
to some regular army lendezvous are
well under way at hendquartets was
evidenced this morning by orders to the
jeglmental commanders to report the
number nnd condition of their tents
and the announcement that each com
pany is to be given n ' buzzacote" stove
to replace the various styled cook
stoves Uhed by the militia
1'nder the army regulations the men
eat in their respective tents and must
at range to do their own cooking and
baking. Everything is Issued law and
instead of bread each man Is allowed
so much flour a day and so much un
ground nnd unroasted coffee. There Is
nothing In the rules, howevei, foi bid
ding companies fiom assigning some
one man to act as cook, and this plan
no doubt will be followed In all the
regiments, as far as is practicable.

"Our admiral shows wisdom In not

dress of thought." DoyouroaHza
when one visits your homo how,
the furnishings tell the character o(

that's the "thoughless" buyer. In
another hideous colors and won
derful designs. That's the "care
less" buyer. In another dainty,
graceful designs, harmonious col-!
ors, the work of artistic people.
