A despatch from VVashing‘ton. says: â€"â€"â€"General Miles intimated in his de- spatches to the \\'ar Department that he finds the volunteer forces of the United States wholly unprepared at the pneSent time for an active camâ€" paign against the enemy. No official report has been made yet by the gen- eral, as he has not by any means com- pleted his tour of inspection. The volunteer army islacking in the many necessaries that would be need- ed in a campaign either in Cuba or Porto Rico. Many regiments have no uniforms, and many more regiâ€" ments are deficient in shoes. hats, and underclothing. Although every ef- fort is being made by the Government to supply the troops as rapidly as posâ€" sible with firstâ€"class equipment, the authorities find themselves greatly hampered by the lack of facilities in the L'nited States for making clothing for the soldiers. TROUBLE ABOUT AiMMUN‘lTlONn There has also been some slight diffi- culty in supplying the army at such short notice with arms and ammuniâ€" tion, but this trouble is being very rap- idly overcovme.

A despatch from London says :~Sam- uel Plimsoll, known as "The Sailor's Friend." originator of the famous “Plimsoll Mark." to prevent the over- loading of ships, is said to be. dying at Folkeslzone. He was at one time presi- dent of the National Amalgamated Sailors and Firemen’s Union of Great Britain and Ireland, and is the author of "Our Seamen." and “Cattle Ships.“ He was born at Bristol. in 1824. and went into Parliament for the express purpose oi helping the sailors, drawn from patriotic bull fights and theatrical performances which a. large section of the community condemns as unworthy, and even a disgraceful means of stimulating patriotism inthe times of national peril. The ecclesias- tical authorities have just issued an urgent and touching appeal to the clergy on behalf of the war fund. "In presence of the great peril through which our country is passing." says this document, “every sacrifice will be small and insignificant.
