U. S. ARMY INBA D SHAPE.

A despatch from Washington, says:
-General Miles intimated in his de-
spatches; to the War Department that
be finds the volunteer forces of the
United States wholly unprepared et
the present time for an active cam-
paign against the enemy. No official
report hes been made yet by the gen-
eral, as he bee nut by any means com-
pleted his tour of inspection.
The volunteer army is lacking in the
many necersariee that would be need-
ed in a cansli.sign either in Cuba or
Porto Rico. Many regiments have
nu uniforms, and many more regi-
ments are deficierit iu "hum, hats, and
underclothing. Although every ef-
fort a treeing mage by the (iovernmant
to supply the truopa as rapidly as pos-
sible with first-class equipment, the
authorities find 'themselves greatly
hampered by the lark of facilities 1*
the United States for making clothing
for the soldiers.
TR(itUBLE AttUU'1' AMMMt NITION.
There has also been some slight 81111•
nutty in supplying the army at such
short notice with arms and ammuni-
tion but this trouble is being very rap-
idly overcome. Bide have been called
for from the leading cartrijig%com-
lwniee of the United States for large
quantities of revolvers red rifles. Thr
l mots Metallic Cartridge Company bas
presented bids our- .45 End :60-'csiibrw
cartridges. Thin company estimates
that it ern supply f0u.600exastridges in
fifteen days, 20J.000 during the follow-
ing ten days, and 25.000 afterward each
day.
The Winchester (?ompsny and the
United States Cartridge Company have
also presented bids to the War Depart-
ment. Both of these companies esti-
mate that 'they can supply targe
amounts of ammunition upon short no-
tice. There is no doubt that tbe Ord-
nance.Depart.meot will make several
large contracts .for cartridges within
the neat few days.
THREE CAMPS FOR VOLUNTEERS.
Major-General Miles will probably
recommend in his report to the Gov-
e rnment that three large permanent
camps he gettable/abed for the volunteer
army. One of thew camps will un-
deubtedty be at Montauk Point, L.1.,
another •t Chickamauga park. and a
third •t some plane in Florist& not as
yet deoided upon. The troop st Camp
Alger will probably be distributed
among these three camp. Already the
War Deportment has decided that no
more troops will be sent' to Camp Al-
ger, and the order time had been is-
sued to the Thirty-fourth Michigan
Regiment to proceed to the camp near
Weehingtoa nam countermanded.
The Chicakatnsaga National Park
Cammisslon has been instrooted by the
Government to provide accommoda-
tions for an army of 76,000 men. There
is • strong probability that the camp
in Florida will be at Jacksonville.
