DATE OF TROOP DEPARTURE UNCERTAIN

Troops Are Getting Restless and Are Anxious to Move—Destination Is Not Yet Known. Camp Ralston, June 29.—The same uncertainty concerning the departure of the Indiana guardsmen continues to hold sway. Every one of the men stationed at Camp RAlston are eager to get away, as it is thought that conditions will be improved when the men are finally located in a permanent camp somewhere along the Rio Grande.

The nervous strain is great here, and once the last home ties have been broken, the last good-byes said and the boys have settled down to what they know is to be the regular routine for some time,at least, it will be easier for everybody. The opinion prevails among the men that they will not move before Sunday, if they succeed in getting away then. They are expected to move within ten hours after the orders are received. There-is no inkling as to where the troops are going once they are entrained. The entire camp is a scene of activity from morning until late at night. j. - . .
