TWO NEGROES HANGED. li.rnr.hrd Because the City Marshal Wa Shot by Somebody. CLARKSVILLE. Mo., June 6.—An excursion boat from Quincy. 111., and HannibaJ, Mo., arrived here yesterday with about 300 negroes on board. After the boat had tied up Curtis Young got into a fight with a eoolred woman named Lena Bryan, of Hat*nibal. It became general and City Marshal Meloan went on board to quell it. He put Curtis Young under arrest, when somebody In the crowd shot the marshal in the back and he died in fifteen minutes. There was great excitement throughout the town when the shooting became known, and the citizens began to patrol the streets armed with guns and revolvers. A posse of fifty men went on board the boat and arrested Sam Young, Curtis Young. Bob Taylor and Charles Taylor, all colored, and took them to the city jail, where they were all locked up, pending the arrival of the prosecuting attorney from Bowling Green, the county seat. When this officer arrived to-day he found Curtis and Sam Young had been taken from the jail and hung to convenient trees. Counterfeit Half Dollar. OAKLAND.

ANOTHER DYING KICK * SPANIARDS WILL MAKE A REPRESENTATION TO THE POWERS, Saving No Effective Blockade of Cuban Port* Exist*—A Vliidrid Ver*lon of the Santiago right. ✓ ♦ LONDON, June 7.-The Madrid correspondent of the Daily News says: ’’The Cabinet has decided that no effective blockade exists and will so notify the powers. An informal notification has already been made.” Reports from various sources state that Admiral Camara s fleet is stiil at Cadiz. It is detained there, it is alleged, because the government fears a revolution in the south of Spain if the Spaniards should be defeated. There are persistent reports in diplomatic circles, especially in London, that peace is not distant, and that both Spain and America are % .Aious for it. A reflection of these rumors is seen in the continued buoyancy of Spanish fours, although no confirmation of peace rumors is obtainable from any source. On the contrary It is said on good authority in Berlin that Spain has not yet sued even for mediation, while the powers, retaining an unpleasant remembrance of the rebuff to their former efforts at Washington, are not likely to renew their attempts unless thehe are clear prospect* of a successful issue. Yesterday’s article in the St. Petersburg Novostl, calling on Europe to raise its voice and to adjudicate upon the American claims, with no sympathy. Spttnluh Report from Santiago. MADRID, June 6. 8 a. m.—A dispatch to the Imparcial from Santiago de Cuba says that at 10 o’clock on Saturday evening twenty American war ships opened a hot attack on Santiago de Cuba, but that they were so distant that their shots did not reach the forts. The dispatch adds that, seeing the futility of the enemy’s cannonade, the Spaniards made no reply to their fire, awaiting the nearer approach of the ships, but the attacking beet continued to remain in its distant position. The dispatch further says the bombardment lasted forty-five minutes and was not resumed. On Sunday, it continues, sixteen American war ships were still moored at the same place, in sight of Santiago de Cuba. In the Chamber of Deputies, to-day, Senor Giron, the minister of the colonies, replying to inquiries on the subject, said the government had no information tending to confirm the Spanish reports that the United States cruiser Baltimore had been blown up by an internal explosion at Manila, except the fact that Lloyd’s Gazette “had erased the Baltimore from its list of American ships.” Deputy Comas asked if a note had been sent to the powers ’’pointing out the American violations of international law,” and he urged the government to include in such a communication of the fact that the Americans had furnished arms to an almost savage race in the Philippine islands.” Senor Giron declined to say whether or not a note had been sent. The minister of finance, Senor Puigcerver, replying to criticisms in the Senate to-day on the raising of the new loan, declared the present situation and the needs of the war necessitate the measure. Arrangement* for the New Loan. PARIS, June B.—The Temps to-day published a dispatch from Madrid which announces that the Spanish minister of finance, Senor Puigcerver, has submitted to the Cabinet the arrangements for the new loan, which, it is understood, is to be made without the guarantee of the tobacco monopoly and without the assistance of foreign capital. The Bank of Spain, it Is said, will advance, when necessary. In installments, the sum of 1,000,000,000 pesetas, the amount of the loan, and undertake the foreign expenses of the army and navy. The government, it is added, estimates that it has sufficient resources f<y- several months. Work on Spain’* Reserve Fleet. LONDON. June 6.—A special dispatch received in this city to-day, from Vienna, says: "According to private advices from Cadiz, the preparations for active services of the Spanish cruiser Carlos VI. the battle ship Pelayo and the auxiliary cruisers Patriota and Ranido Is proceeding slowly, and these vessels are not yet nearly ready to proceed to sea.” Return of t nmura’n Fleet.

TAMPA, Fla., June 6.-To-night the guard line around Colonel Stvtdebaker’s camp is supplied with ammunition, and if another suspicious prowler creeps through the palms he will meet his end. Early this morning one was detected by a guard near the water pipe leading to the camp. A command to halt put the interloper to flight and Wagoner Currier chased him. firing five shots. The guards had no cartridges. This, coupled with a mysterious pine tree fire started near the camp on Sunday afternoon, led Colonel Studebaker to take extra precautions. Tampa is proving to he a fine camping ground. Surgeon Ireland, in charge of the division hospital, is an old Indianapolis man. General Hall, of Fort Sheridan trial fame, is in command of the brigade now, Not since the Indiana soldiers traveled to Mexico, generations ago, has a body of warriors from that State taken a trip so full of novelties as the one which landed the One-hundred-and-fifty-seventh Indiana in Port Tampa: last Friday. That night the Hoosier lads rested their tired hones in a dry swamp where there is not a level foot of ground. The dwarf palms grow so thickly in this spot that the fat, shaggy roots run along the sandy soil in numerous ridges and mak# it difficult to pitch even a shelter tent. What little pretense to shade there is comes from the bushy tops of the pine trees, a hundred feet or more up in the air, and too near the sky to throw a good shadow on the ground. Acres of “live fans,” as a Steuben county man calls them, extend away in every direction, but to the west a thin line of deep blue-green separates the palms from the azure heaven, and this green-blue line is the sea. The travel-worn men from the North spied it as soon as the train stopped and smiles came over their begrimed faces as they thought of the delights of surf bathing. The camping site pointed out to the officers was in the direction of the salt water, and when the soldiers, with their neavy knapsacks and blankets packed on their shoulders, trudged away from the hot railroad station, they almost counted the steps in their anxiety to reach the water which would mean so much refreshment to them. The Ohio men who had preceded the Indiana lads, threw up their dog tents close to the beach, and immediately behind them the Hoosiers established their regimental lines. Colonel Studebaker and his staff fixing headquarters near a clump of the tallest pines.

A RUSH TO THE SURF. ‘‘Break ranks!” came the sharp command, repeated down the column, and then came a rush which would have carried a Spanish brigade before it had the enemy then been in sight. It was a rush to the salt water. Dozens of the men, in their impatience to reach the cooling waves, merely threw off their knapsacks and coats and thus dressed splashed across the little lagoon and long strip of white sand which was between them ami the sea. Thousands of soldier crabs were lined up on the beach, and they went madly scampering in all directions before the wild charge of the human soldiers. Soft shell crabs and other varieties of sea “varmints” were disporting themselves on the beach, but the warm Hoosiers had no time to gather trophies. For many of the men it had been a week or two since the luxury of a bath was enjoyed. In a jiffy hundreds of Uncle Sam's blue uniforms were lying in piles on the sand and nude forms in a countless wavering line buried themselves under the warm water. At this point in the coast line the beach runs out gradually till chin depth is reached a half mile from dry land. Presently bobbing heads could be seen far out towards the horizon, where the more venturesome had gone to try their skill and endurance in deeper water. Indiana and Ohio fraternized to such an extent it was difficult to tell where the soldiers of one State left off and the other began. At ('am]) Thomas the sons of the two States had been thrown together, and in the first hazardous movements of the war their fortunes were allied in the same brigade. As they looked out to sea and saw, threequarters of a mile away, the dozen or more ships at anchor they speculated on their ioint destiny in this war and commented on the early march aboard the dark-hulled craft. It would not do to tell all they said, for although a soldier may talk among his mates of what he sees and what he hears, it would go hard with the correspondent who would do likewise with his mate—the * l| The journey of the old Third to port Tampa was practically devoid of incident in the regiment itself, though to the volunteers every mile brought unusual sights and gave the young fellows glimpses into a life entirelv foreign to them. Beginning hack at the hour of departure from Camp Thomas reallv ancient history, there could be innumerable stories told for the benefit of the anxious ones at home, but each day o rapidly brings shifting scenes and leaves those of a few days before forgotten or remembered faintly as a panorama past. It was one of the "seasoning” marches that brought the regiment to Ringgold, over as picturesque a mountain road as may lie found in all the eastern country. The pike wound about, up long grades and down into cooler valleys, where sparkling streams rushed under tlie thick shade, and gladdened the heart of the tired marchers at resting time. The Ohio commander had set a pace of 120 steps a minute for his regiment till an army officer overhauled him and mated that he was killing his soldiers. The effect of such a heart-deadening gait was only too well shown when the Buckeyes straggled over the last crest that disclosed to them the sight of famous ktnggoid nestling at the base of Taylor's ridge, where the Confederates had made one of their last stands of the war. One battalion of the First Ohio came in with only seventyfive men. others having a proportionate representation that testified to the hardships of the tramp. LONG, WEARY WAIT Os the One-hundr* d-and-ntty-seventh Indiana. there is a different tale to tell. Setting out with a swinging step, and guided in their march by Lieut. Col. May, whose regular army experience has taught him the economy of energy on just such jaunts, they made the distance in so much faster time than the vanguard regiment that they overhauled the rear of the Ohioans and trudged into Ringgold with the hand playing patriotic airs and the boys cheering.

Then came a long wait of eight hours, till the Buckeye chape loaded their wagons and cars and cleared the track. Colonel Studebaker and his staff fretted at this delay. Eight hours in loading wagons on flat cars jarred his sense of business expediency. Supper time came and the moon loomed up. The men threw themselves under the trees and sang songs from the variety stage, songs of the fireside, and songs of the quiet Sabbath in the little white churches in northern Indiana. It was a night of motley song. At last the jarring rumble of a long freight train up to the station, and the sharp whistle blast of a departing passenger train told Colonel Studebaker that the Ohioans were off and his wagons and baggage could now be put on board the first section of anew train. The colonel himself took charge of this work. Instead of merely supervising it. he shouted out the orders, prodding the men here and encouraging them there. Mules balked and w'agons stalled, untutored drivers whipped and heat the dumb animals, men added their shouts to the curses of the drivers, and for an hour a pandemonium unknown in that quiet Georgian village since the days of Grant and Sherman prevailed. The admirable order which came out of confusion made one marvel at the native talent of the colonel for this sort of work. Quiet, unassuming man as he is. few of his officers thought he could boss a job of this kind, which is really no part of a commanding officer's duties, with such snap and such ultimate success. He did in one hour what it had taken seven for the Ohio men to accomplish. At midnight tbe-Jndianians were bowling towards the tropics. Sleep fell heavily on their eyelids. No careening of tourist car could vex the precious slumber so dearly earned that day. Light in baggage and light in rations they went on. careless of the morrow-. White-socked feet poked out of half the berths of each car. and the rattle of the bayonets and accoutrements swinging to the ceiling hooks was the accompaniment to the sonorous voice with which the nose of a very sleepy man speaks. Morning found the regiment in Atlanta, where its presence hardly caused a stir among these people, to whom the passing of troops is now an uninteresting story. After coffee here, the three sections of the train proceeded to Macon. Men who had nibbled at their hard tack, throwing the bulk of it away, began to see the error of thetr prodigality. Sufficient rations had heen issued for the journey—that is, sufficient according to the regular army Rtandard-and had every man consumed his supply there w-ould not have been so much grumbling along the road. However, it is a lesson every soldier regular or volunteer, has to learn at the beginning, and the experience of the last week may be of vast profit before the lads get back from Cuba. At Valadosta, Ga., a sow miles north of the Florida line, coffee was served. Through some carelessness or mistake in the allotment, some of the companies were given the bulk of the quantity ordered, and other companies suffered. “COFFINS” INSTEAD OF “COFFEE.” An incident during this period of the trip gave the colonel and his staff a great fright. The quartermaster in the rear section telegraphed ahead to the first passenger section, employing, in effect, these words: “We must have twenty-five coffees." meaning to say that so many gallons would be required at the next stopping place. The intelligent operator managed to convey the information to C’olonel Studebaker thus: “We must have twenty-five coffins.” The commanding officer paled w-hen the tenor of this message dawned o;i him. Nothing less than a frightful wreck of the rear section was apparent. Inquiry promptly went up the road to ascertain further particulars of the catastrophe. Nothing had been heard of an accident and not till the operator called up the sender, discovering how ludicrous had been the error in transmission, was the extreme tension lifted from the mind of Colonel Studebaker. "The Suwanee River Route,” displayed on the sides of the engines which drew- the trains over the Florida border, put the men on the qui vieve as they approached this stream, whose name conveys the essence of humble pathos in the ballad line. They conjured up pictures of old log cabins and white-haired mammies, droves of pickanninnies and moss-draped trees, all “tar, far away,” but they were destined to catch only moonlight glimpses of a small stream, sluggishly moving itself between banks covered with rank vegetation. The romance of the Suwanee liver is a thing of the past, evidently. Captain Dennison, of Waterloo, and his second lieutenant, both drowsy to the point of tumbling over, had set up for hours to feast their eyes on this celebrated folklore song stream. Just before the train reached the bridge they both fell asleep and when they awoke the Suwanee river was “far, far away” in their wake. Old history and geography pictures of war and antebellum days were brought to mind when the soldiers glanced at the old-fashioned locomotives which drew the trains. With wide, bulging smokestacks, huge as balloons, and tenders piled high with pine sticks, these engines suggested the dilatnriness w-ith which the far South keeps abreast of the times. Looking at the miles and miles of pine forests on either side of the track, available so cheaply for fuel, with coal leagues away, impresses one, however, with the considerable economy of using wood-burning engines. Besides, Florida has no steep grades to make sick the heart of the engineer. The flrst s P ,ed ,the Palms with the glee of children discovering some new bit of life in the forest. Miles of these stunted trees were passed, then came the full-grown orange trees, those not destroyed by the frost, and now loaded down with the green fruit. Watermelon rinds along the track gave further evidence of the far advance of the warm season here over that In the North.

A QUAINT TOWN. Tampa at last—quaint, cosmopolitan town, tropical in its heat and bustling with a remarkable life incidental to war. The trains bearing the One-hundred-and-fifty-seventh pulled into the heart of it, where Jackies, cavalrymen, volunteers, Cubans, jet-black negroes-jostled with each other. The officers took dinner at a near-by hotel, while many of the men, after eating their hardtack and canned beans, bolted to saloons that lined the track, for glasses of Florida beer. In these saloons the same cosmopolitan gatherings that characterized the streets, were to be found. Nearly every saloon had its monte games, patronized by Cubans and negroes and occasional soldiers. It was the expectation that disembarkation would begin in Tampa. Contrary to this the trains were pulled out to Fort Tampa, over nine miles out, where ships ride at anchor. The men were told that they would probably be marched directly abroad, but this proved to be misinformation. In the eyes of the army officers here “the Queen of Spain has no legs;” in other words there isn’t a gun boat, transport or anything else in the offing. And if you do not believe this, just go up to the telegraph office, and there the press censors will convince you of this fact. “But I saw in tho northern papers, before leaving, that the transports were here,” insisted one correspondent to-day. “Oh, they just guessed at it.” remarked the imperturbable officer, who never reasons with the impatient scribblers, but replies "aye” and “nay” and no further, as the Bible would have him do. When the One-hundred-and-fifty-seventh Indiana reached Port Tamna the‘sun was very hot and a blinding glare was on the white sands. It was well the men did not have far to march else there would have been serious cases to report. A mile to the rear of their camp is the sea, and a few hundred feet in front of them is the salt water, so at night they get the benefit of what breezes sweep across the narrow peninsula from which all the shipping to and from this point is done. A telegraph station is not at an inconvenient distance, and a few- stores, where they deign to sell two cents' worth for a dime, are also accessible. The officers who tried to rush messages off to home folks notifying them of safe arrival here and in addition specifying the probable time of departure for Cuba, encountered the censor, who coolly scratched out all reference to the Cuban voyage. The Tampa streets are jammed with people day and night. Nearly everyone wears a uniform and every type of government service is to be recognized. Spanish-speaking people are frequently encountered. The men at a. Cuban cigar factory gave the Hoosiers a welcome as the train pulled through the town. A small group of Cuban volunteers, armed with machetes and other weapons is camped within a fe w hundred feet *of the One-hundred-and-fifty-seventh Indiana. These chaps are tine looking and are excellent horsemen. Their commander is a Chicago physician, who always has boiled water, afterwards coo Ted with ice, at his quarters. The Indiana men have no serious eases of illness among them, although slight dysentery is prevalent. Q. L. P. HAPPY DINNER PARTY. Home Folks at Table with Colonel >ntlth on Sunday. Corresjiondenoe of the Journal. CAMP THOMAS. Chh kamauga Park, June s.—Sunday all drills were declared off and the boys enjoyed a well-earned recreation. They started in the day by going in swimming. A number of officers, including Chaplain Carstensen, Adjutant Powell, Drs. Jones and Barcus, Captain Frank MeCrea, Lieutenants Power. Isensee and Krieber started out at 5 o'clock and visited George Powell's new swimming hole. After rubbing off the week's accumulation of dirt,

they then proceeded to laundry numerous articles of apparel which they had brought with them. They washed them out and put them through the wringer, but had to carry them back to camp before they could hang them out to dry. On the return they met squads of late risers who were starting out to take their swim. After getting home Chaplain Carstenseix held communion for those in the regiment who wished to attend. This was a very impressive sight. After breakfast the chaplain held services in front of the quarters and they were well attended. About 11 o’clock the Indianapolis people began to come into camp. First came Christopher Harmenlng, who has friends in Company A. Shortly after was heard a whoop and a yell down the line and Colonel Smith looking out from his tent exclaimed: There's a pair of legs and I’ll bet they belong to Josh Zimmerman.’’ Sure enough, in came Fred Shepard, Josh Zimmerman, James Greer. Recorder Shilling and his son Horace and Mr. Toon, of Warren township. Mr. Greer and Mr. Shilling both have sons belonging to this regiment. There was some lively handshaking around the quarters for a time. The crowd sat around the quarters of Colonel Smith and told stories, delivered messages from Indianapolis friends and enjoyed themselves generally till mess, which means dinner. All were comfortably stated when anew comer shouted: ”Am I too late to get in this gang?” It was De Witt Griffith, of Griffith Bros.. Indianapolis, and two friends with him. The glad hand was extended and places at table prepared. It was a jolly dinner. After dinner a carriage arrived and Colonel Charles Kahlo and Miss Kahlo. of Indianapolis, and Mrs. Garrard, who is visiting Lieutenant Garrard, of Battery A, were welcomed. A number of boys in the regiment had home friends with them and it was a gala day for all. It came out that to-day was the anniversary of the mustering in three years ago of Company H and the charter members of the company put their heads together, and decided to hold a reunion. After securing permission they contracted with a farmer near here for a lot of dressed chickens and milk and butter and all the extras which go to make up a big dinner. They intended to have a dinner and invite the officers and have cigars and toasts, etc. Every one who had an invitation was preparing for much enjoyment, hut all were doomed to disappointment. In the morning early as their huckster was conning across the road bridge about two miles east, he was “held up” by some soldiers, none of ours, and the twenty-eight chickens, which he had set up all night to dress, and twenty gallons of milk w’ere stolen from him. It was with tears in his eyes that the poor fellow told us that he had lost his property and his night's work. Company H boys promised to send a guard to meet him at the bridge tomorrow morning if he will bring another load then. Company H is determined to have that ’dinner. The miscreants who did the stealing if caught will be severely punished, as the army regulations make such stealing a serious offense. Mr. Thompson, formerly of Indianapolis, but who now has charge of the Tennessee part of the park, and who was in the Seventh Indiana Regiment in me late war, visited camp last week. His first colonel w T as General Dumont, of Indianapolis. Mr. Thompson was surprised to find two grandsons of his old colonel in our regiment— David and James Braden. His heart warmed to the two grandsons of his old colonel and he obtained permission to take the boys home with him for twenty-four hours and they left Saturday afternoon. Dr. Charlton, who was overcome by heat and sickness together the other dav. is much better and expects to get his hospital into shape by Wednesday of this week. The hospital at Crawfish Springs, donated by Mrs. Leiter, has been opened and Dr. Semi, of Illinois, has been made deputy surgeon general and placed in charge. This will probably be the best equipped hospital in the country, as it is understood no expense will be spared to equip it. It can be much more thoroughly equipped than any field hospital in the country. Colonel Smith and most of his regimental family, by invitation of the proprietor, attended a performance given by a first-class vaudeville troup from Cincinnati Saturday night. About three minutes was long enough for them. The boys can stand pretty poor shows down here, but that was too much for the old theater veterans. Colonel Smith now has the plaster cast off his wrist in the day time, and it quite himself again. Corporal Parker, of Company D, who remained in Indianapolis as clerk to Dieut. Peterson, has been detailed to act as clerk at General Brook’s headquarters. Captain Charles S. Templeton, of Company H, had to go to bed again yesterday. He is resting easy to-day and will come out in a few days. Sergeant Shepard, of the same company, was out relic hunting this morning. Ho found two pieces of an old saber and w’as religiously digging for the third one. Somtthing struck him on the hand and he is undecided as yet whether it was a thorn or a snake bite. Quartermaster Hopkins took a clay off yesterday and visited Chattanooga to see the sights. He says that any old town up city lndana 1S preferable to the Southern Chaplain Carstensen has distributed the and Testaments to all the companies in the regiment. The assignment of General McKee to this place gives great, pleasure to officers and men ’ ’ J. I. H.

QI’IET DAY FOR HATTERY A. Had No(l,li,k to Do on Sunday, and Sergeant Meyers Was Away. Correspondence of the Journal. CAMP THOMAS. Chickamauga Park, Ga., June s.—This was another quiet day in camp. Even the canteens did very little business, this probably being due to the fact that the majority of the men are without funds. The weather was much warmer to-day than at any time since the Twenty-seventh Indiana Battery arrived at this camp, hut a good breeze from the west did much to make the boys comfortable. Being Sunday, there were no drills whatever, and the fact that twenty-five men under Sergeant Moyers had been granted, a day in Chattanooga in order to visit Lookout mountain and other points of interest made the camp unusually quiet. It is understood that every Sunday a squad of about twenty-five men, under command of a sergeant, will be allowed to visit different places of interest in Chattanooga and vicinity. There were no new arrivals in camp yesterday, although a regiment from Mississippi and one from Arkansas were expected. It Is almost certain that no more troops will be sent to Tampa, unless some of the men already there embark for Cuba, because it is thought the capacity of Tampa is taxed to its utmost at present. The park commissioners have connected about three miles of 6-inch pipe and one and a half miles of 4 and 5-inch pipe, which now gives the park water enough to supply 50,000 men. If all the regiments and batteries are to be recruited up to their full strength, this will mean 75,000 men here this summer; therefore, unless special provision is made for the new men there will be another shortage of w’ater. Instead of having a field day yesterday, as was intended by the boys of the Twen-ty-seventh Battery, to choose contestants for a match with the S*. Louis battery, it v. as decided to appoint member of the battery as captain over each event on the programme, the captain to train all men for each event and to pick the men best fitted to defend the colors of the Indianapolis Light Artillery. In accordance with this resolution Harry Griffith was unanimously chosen to captain the team for the contest. Captain Griffith selected the following to train the men for the different events: One hundred and 220-yard dashes. Private Griffith; 440-yard dash. Private Samuel Puttison; putting shot, Private George Nichols; throwing hammer, Sergeant Babe Railsback; running high jump, Private Harry Patterson; running and standing broad Jump. Private H. Thomas; throwing baseball, Sergeant Fred Swan; high kick. Private Victor GilWaeth; tug of war. Sergeant Robert Oliver. The boys are taking great interest in the coming contest, and from the present outlook they seem almost certain of carrying the day, as the boys are already hard at work to regain some of the prestige lost at baseball. Captain Curtis and Lieutenant Callon. accompanied by Orderly Harry Millikan, took a long ride over the mountain. They rode cut past Craw'fish springs to Missionary Ridge, across the ridge and coming hack on the north side of Lytle, in all a distance of about twenty miles. Qn this trip they found many springs and abandoned wells, which, in case of necessity, could be utilized for the use of the troops. Captain Lydig. of the l*. S. A., with clerks servant and baggage, arrived in camp this morning and pitched his quarters just to the right of Battery A’s headquarters. He is to be commissary of the Artillery Brigade. Captain Lydig is a son-in-law of United States Senator Elkins, and the Indianapolis boys are very glad he did Buttery A the hon tr to select his headquarters with them. The boys are having considerable amusement by pitching horseshoes, instead of quoits. whl?h has become the game of the camp. Already several members are being mentioned as champions of the battery.

the real contest for the laurels is between Privates Bristow and Helm. This morning the boys were pleased to see many familiar faces from Indianapolis. Among them were County Recorder Shilling, Commissioner Greer, Deputy Auditor Shephard, Joseph Bosw’ell and Colonel and Miss Kahlo. The visitors left Indianapolis at 4:25 last evening and arrived at Chattanooga early this morning. They all speak very highly of the railway accommodations and the excellency of the time made between Indianapolis and Chattanooga. Almost dally can be seen a company of soldiers marching by to the slow steps of tho funeral dirge accompanying the remains of one of their comrades to his last resting place in the National Cemetery by the side of many a hero of years ago. Yesterday there were two deaths in the Illinois regiments and one in a Missouri regiment. Most of the deaths are caused from pneumonia, although occasionally the deaths are caused by accident, as in the case of Private Ronald MacDonald, of the First Missouri Infantry, who was drowned while bathing in Chickamauga creek. He was buried at the National Cemetery with military honors to-day. His mother arrived from St. Louis this morning. Battery A’s sick list has dwindled down to two mild cases, hut neither of these is In the hospital, and probably will fall in for the regular drills in a day or two. Private Middleton has been discharged from the hospital and accompanied the hoys on the trip to Lookout mountain to-day. J. V. V. Now Ready to Meet Spaniards. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. CAMP THOMAS, Chickamauga Park, Ga.. June The guns arrived to-day for Battery A, and the boys had mounted drill this morning under command of Captain Curtis. Many Indianapolis excursionists were in camp to-day. and there was great enthusiasm among the boys. - ANOTHER SHAM RATTLE. First Division of tlie Third Corps, About 10,000 Men. Engaged. CHICKAMAUGA PARK, Ga.. June 6. Another big sham battle was the event of to-day at Camp Thomas. The battle was between the regiments composing the First Division of the Third Corps. About ten thousand rnen participated. This division, which is commanded by Brigadier General Fred Grant, is doing unusually hard work and is rapidly becoming proficient in all branches of military training. Regimental and company drills are keeping the men of other divisions employed. The officers, one and all, from General Brooke down, are now congratulating themselves on the excellent appearance of all the camps and the perfect success of the sanitary precautions and the remarkable healthfulness of the men in the camp. It is a matter of most favorable comment that in an army of more than 4J.000 men there should be such little sickness, especially in view of the fact that the change made by the men in climate, diet and water has been so radical. General Brooke and the officers of his staff have omitted no particular necessity to make the park a model place in the way of healthfulness. Everything is in smooth working order and the men are becoming thoroughly satisfied with their conditions. The supply depot has now over a million rations and has provided ample and suitable storage room for from u.000.0c0 to 6,COD.OOO more if it should be needed. Everything in this department is in capital working order. Another trainload of mules and three carloads of horses arrived yesterday. The mules were turned over to-day to the regiments without their full quota of teams. The work of remodeling the Park Hotel, now known as the Leiter Hospital, is being pushed rapidly. The building will be completed in a few days and all the army’s sick will be moved there. Colonel J. Bills, of the Second Nebraska, who was recently placed in command provisionally of the First Brigade. First Division. Third Corps, has established his headquarters just opposite those of Gen. Grant. Colonel Bills has selected Captain Charles H. Wilson, as acting adjutant', Elgin M. Lattimer, commissary and L. T. Hall, quartermaster. The officers at Camp Thomas have been annoyed greatly by the misleading and utterly false reports being sent out from this point by special correspondents touching the boalthfulness of the camp. Gut of the 42,000 man now in the army here there are not a half dozen serious cases of sickness and the men are now getting the regular allowances of every kind of food and in abundance. Men are not getting Delmonico meals, but they are getting the Vest and freshest soldiers’ diet to be had. The commissary in charge of the depot o* subsistence in Chattanooga has also been annoyed no little by the false statements sent abroad that the department has been unable to secure storage sufficient for the supplies and that that is the reason the men are “not being properly fed.” Contrary to this statement there are now already in depot here over one million rations and ample room for five million more has been provided for if needed. There is not the slightest ground, therefore, for reasonable eompiaint among the troops here if their commissaries and quartermasters know their business and attend to it. Captain Rockwell, chief of the Ordnance Department, received notice to-day that the Columbia arsenal would be able by the latter part of the present week to supply 12,000 sets of equipments per week, and that he now expected to have the army fully equipped within a very short time. He received to-day field guns for the following light batteries: Twenty-seventh and Twen-ty-eighth Indiana. Fourth Ohio and the First Missouri, and the full equipment for the First Pennsylvania is qow in the railroad yards at Chattanooga and will he distributed to-day. These batteries are now fully equipped and will now undergo daily drills. The remaining equipments for the First Ohio Cavalry have been shipped and will arrive Wednesday or Thursday. The regiment has received almost Its full quota of horses and it is expected that by the end of the week it will be ready to move to Tampa, the understanding being that they are to go there as soon as they are equipped. An unfortunate difficulty occurred to-day between William Chumley. private of Company M. Second Arkansas, and Cook George Watts, of the same company. It seems Chumley complained of the biscuit he received and he and Watts quarreled. Each seized a piece cf firewood and each struck the other simultaneously. Watts was struck squarely on the top of the head and his skull was badly fractured, and it is expected that lie will die. Chumley received a blow on the side of the head which stunned him, hut inflicted no serious injury. chumlev is under guard and Watts is in the hospital. MISTERING OFFICERS.

Guffey has been made the representative of the State of Pennsylvania on the national Democratic committee to succeed Hon. William Harrity. Messrs. Harrity and Guffey were notified of the change by Senator Jones, of Arkansas, who is chairman of the committee. The substitution of Mr. Guffey’s name is the result of a poll of the national committee made through the mail by Senator Jones. It grows out of the representations of the Democrats of Pennsylvania, who, first through their state committee and latterly through their state convention, required that Mr. Harrity’s name be dropped aqd Mr. Guffey’s added on the general ground that Mr. Harrity had ceased to be in accord with his party. Not desiring to take the responsibility of making the change himself. Senator Jones sent all the correspondence bearing upon the subject to the various members of the committee. This was done on the 7th day of April last. All but three of the members east their ballot, and these were notified ten days since that the resuit would be announced to-dav. Senator Jonea declined to give the figures showing how the vote stood.
