The camp was opened on June 3 by Squadron A. The troops there during the other three weeks were the 23d Regiment and the 3d Battery, the 7th Regiment and the 1st Battery; a provisional regiment made up of these separate companies: 4th, 10th, 11th, 16th, 17th, 234, 27th, 28th, 39th and 40th and the Second Battery. Troop C was originally ordered to camp, but at its request was excused. The 74th Regiment of Buffalo and the 6th Battery of Albany were ordered to perform field service near their home stations. During the summer and fall the State rifle ranges at Creedmoor and other places were open for practice by the guardsmen and members of the Naval Militia. The annual State and First, Second and Fifth Brigade matches were shot at Creedmoor team on Sept. 14. The 7th Regiment won State and Fifth Brigade matches, while the 12th and 23d Regiments carried off the honors in the First and Second Brigade contests. Following are the scores: the STATE MATCH.

The Brooklyn Daily Eagle, in Feb., 1896, offered a trophy for the rifle shooting championship, to be contested for by the regiments of the Second Brigade. The Twenty-third Regiment were winners in 1896, scoring six victories and no defeats. In 1897 the contests began on February 6 and closed on April 17, the Twenty-third again winnirg with a precisely similar score. Contests in 1898 were begun on Jan. 22, and continued until April 23, but could not be completed, owing to the disbandment of the Thirteenth Regiment, and the mustering in of other regiments of the Second Brigade for the war with Spain, and their subsequent departure to the There were three National Guard regiments in the volunteer service on January 1, 1899. These were the 12th, 47th and 69th. The 47th was in Porto Rico and the others in Southern camps. The 69th returned home on January 30; the 47th on March 10 and the 12th a month later, being mustered out on April 20. All were warmly received by the people.

The disarmament of the Cuban army was effected by the payment to the army of $3,000,000 by the United States government-the Spanish evacuation having been perfected February 7. Early in January General Brooke, the military governor-general of Cuba, under the provisional government, recognized the right of the natives to share in the present government which is preparatory to their own assumption of the government in the future, by appointing Mario Menocal chief of police, and Perfecto Lacoste, alcalde or mayor. The general's cabinet also was announced January 16, as follows: Domingo Mendez Capote, secretary of the department of government; he was for awhile president of the insurgents' republic of Cuba; Pablo Dosvernine, secretary of the department of finance; Jose Antonio Gonzalez Lanuza, department of justice and public instruction: Adolfo Saenz Yanez, department of agriculture, industry, commerce and public works. The governors of the provinces are: Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, Havana and Pinar del Rio; Gen. James H. Wilson, Matanzas and Santa Clara: Gen. Leonard Wood. Santiago and Puerto Principe; and Gen. William Ludlow has charge of the Department and City of Havana, this being distinct from the Province of Havana. S Among the important events on the island of Cuba during 1899 was the passing, early in the year, of the control of all the principal railroads into the hands of an American-British syndicate of capitalists, namely, Hanson Bros. of Montreal.

Elkins of Philadelphia. Ruffee & Sons and J. W. Todd of London, Tiburcio Castenada. Zaldo & Co., and Gelats & Co. of Havana. For the Sagua road the syndicate paid $3,000,000: the Caribarien, $2.600.000: the Sabanilla, $5,250,000. The syndicate will own the other roads and steamship lines. As yet it owns no road running into Havana. Political parties are taking shape among the Cubans already. The revenues of the custom house at Havana for 1899 are estimated at $13,000,000 or $14,000,000. The revenues are to be applied as far as possible to the work of internal improvement.
