REPORT OF MAJOR-GENERAL CHARLES F. ROE, N. G. HEADQUARTERS NATIONAL GUARD, N. Y., STEWART BUILDING, 280 BROADWAY, NEW YORK CITY, July 1, 1898. +
Adjutant-General, S. N. Y.
Sir :- I have the honor to submit the following report of the establishment of the camp at Hempstead Plains, L. I., known as " Camp Black ":
On April 22d, received an order from adjutant-general directing me to examine the range at Creedmoor, with a view of establish- ing a camp. On inquiry found water was very scarce at that place and space very limited. Colonel Olin, assistant adjutant- general of my staff, strongly recommended Hempstead Plains as a place suitable for encamping thousands of men. Colonel Olin was directed to communicate with Judge Horace Russell and sent this telegram:
NEW YORK, April 23, 1898. Hon. HORACE RUSSELL, Southampton, L. I.
Would you allow state to use portion of Hempstead Plains free of charge for purpose mentioned in our conversation the other day?
STEPHEN H. OLIN, Asst. Adj .- Gen., 280 Broadway.
While at Albany I received the following telegram:
NEW YORK, April 25, 1898.
Major-General ROE, Headquarters Nat. Guard, Albany, N. Y.
Judge Russell answers my telegram of Saturday: "Yes, most willingly."
STEPHEN H. OLIN, A. A. G.
72
NEW YORK IN SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR.
This information was communicated to the adjutant-general.
In Albany about 6 p. m., April 27, 1898, I received G. O., No. 8, c. s., A. G. O., Par. X, of which requires that a camp be established at Hempstead Plains, L. I., to be commanded by Major-General Charles F. Roe.
The following telegraphic order was sent to commanding officer first brigade, 8 West Fifty-second street, New York city:
In compliance with G. O., No. 8, c. s., A. G. O., the following organizations of your brigade are selected to enter the service of United States as volunteer regiments: ninth and twelfth regi- ments. Orders in detail will follow by mail. Each regiment will consist of twelve companies, of three officers and eighty-one men each.
CHAS. F. ROE, Maj .- Gen.
Same order was sent to commanding officer second brigade as to thirteenth, fourteenth and forty-seventh regiments. Same to commanding officer third brigade as to regiments made up of separate companies known as first and second provisional regi- ments. Same to commanding officer fourth brigade as to sixty- fifth regiment and third provisional regiment made up of separate companies. Same to commanding officer fifth brigade as to eighth, sixty-ninth and seventy-first regiments.
On Thursday, April 28th, the following telegraphic order was sent from Albany to each of the brigade commanders, namely:
ALBANY, April 28, 1898.
Commanding Officers First, Second, Third and Fifth Brigades:
You make every arrangement for the organizations designated to move to Garden City, leaving Monday. The hour of departure and route to be taken will be furnished later from general head- quarters, Albany. Take all equipments and camp equipage and three days' rations based on state allowance of forty-eight cents per man.
CHAS. F. ROE,
Maj .- Gen.
73
VOLUNTEERS (ARMY)-CAMP BLACK.
Same order was sent to commanding officer fourth brigade, except that the troops were directed to move Sunday.
Thursday, April 28th, about midnight I left Albany with my aide, Major Greer; arrived in New York 6.30 a. m., and met my commissary, Colonel Hurry, to whom I had telegraphed. Ordered him to take steps at once to provide rations for nine thousand men at camp on Hempstead Plains, L. I., near Garden City; to have the rations there Monday, May 2d, for three days and to arrange to have rations delivered every three days thereafter.
At S a. m., proceeded to Long Island City; met Colonel Olin, Major Andrews and others of my staff and proceeded by train to two miles east of Garden City; left the train and selected the site which became "Camp Black." Colonel Olin knew the approximate location through the kindness of Mr. Prescott Hall Butler, who represented the owners of the A. T. Stewart estate. The repre- sentatives of two water companies and a pump company being on the ground, they were invited to offer bids for supplying the camp with water. The proposition of the Hempstead Water Com- pany to lay about five miles of pipe to supply 9,500 men with water for three months; to supply barrels and keep them filled with water until line was completed, all for the sum of $6,500, was accepted. Work was begun on the pipe line on Saturday, April 30th, pipe secured in New York and shipped by rail. Water was delivered by pipe by Wednesday, May 3d, and the line was completed by Thursday, May 4th. This line of pipe ran in rear of whole camp, which was one and a half miles long, with a faucet at each street, 113 faucets in all.
On Thursday, April 28th, the commanding officer of the seventy- first regiment was directed to send one company to Hempstead Plains to guard property. The company detailed was "H," seventy-first regiment, Captain Joyce, which arrived about 2 p. m., April 28th; went into camp and rendered most excellent service, guarding property, working daily moving and unloading canvas and stores until the camp was fully established on May 2d. This company was the first in the field of the New York troops and deserves much praise.

The following were placed on my staff per S. O., 68 c. s., A. G. O .: " Colonel William Cary Sanger, assistant chief of artillery, and Colonel Nelson H. Henry, assistant surgeon-general, are detailed temporarily for duty on staff of the commanding officer of the national guard."

Thurston, twenty-second regiment, and Major Avery D. Andrews, squadron A.
The regiments designated to go to camp on Hempstead Plains received their orders for movement direct from the adjutant- general, and arrangements were made by General Howard Carroll, chief of artillery, for transportation by rail from Long Island City, on Monday, May 2d. These arrangements were success- fully carried out, and the troops were turned over to me at Camp Black, whither I had proceeded with my staff by special car early on the morning of May 2d.
A battalion of the third regiment was the first to arrive about 11 a. m., and the others followed with intervals of half an hour to an hour. The last regiment arrived about 6 p. m. Officers of my staff met each train and conducted the troops to their respective camps.
Troops of cavalry A and C arrived about 6.30 p. m., having marched from their respective armories. At 7 p. m., the entire command, numbering about 8,000 men, was under the shelter of canvas; had straw for their tents and wood for cook fires. all of which had been provided and hauled to the camp; and the bag- gage was moved from the trains by means of wagon transporta- tion, principally farmers' wagons. These arrangements had been made and were carried out by Colonel John I. Holly, quarter- master on the staff of major-general, commanding guard and the camp.
General Orders, No. 1, as follows, were issued May 2d:
