Mr. Pratt respondent and presented the spokesman with an American flag amid great enthusiasm.” HOItE TRANSPORTS CHARTERED. Knongh Vessel* Secured to Carry 18,000 Troops to the Philippines. WASHINGTON, June B.—Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn, of the War Department, announced with considerable satisfaction today that the problem of securing an adequate number of transports for troops to the Philippines appeared to have been solved. He made this statement after having chartered six ships, in addition to those heretofore named and taken the preliminary steps for obtaining live more under certain conditions. If the latter are secured the War Department will have at its disposal altogether eighteen ships for the Philippine expedition. enough to accommodate in round numbers many thousand men, should they be put to that use exclusively. As some of them, however, will carry cavalry and some artillery the actual number of men the ships will take may be reduced somewhat and some of the vessels, in ail probability, will make a second voyage before their charters Are canceled. Asa result of the acquisition of the additional vessels there will be extraordinary activity in fitting them out for the work intended, and no time will be lost in preparing for the third arid later expeditions of reinforcements for Admiral Dewey. Following are the names of the vessels Just chartered: Indiana, now at Seattle, capacity 1,000 men. Morgan City, now at San Francisco, ca(wclty 1,000 men. City of Para, which will carry approximately 1,500 men, Victoria, which is at Tacoma, Wash. Olympia, which will be at Tacoma on the 19th inst. Arizona, which will be at Tacoma on the 10th of July. These latter vessels belong to the Northern Pacific Steamship Company, and their charter depends on the granting to them by Congress of an American register. Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn made an original proposition for these ships over a week ago, but the company held out for some time for higher figures thah the government proposed to give. The terms of the charter are entirely satisfactory to the department. The department has also the privilege of taking the Tacoma and Columbia of the {Northern Pacific line if they are needed. The former vessel will arrive at Tacoma on July 31 and the latter at Portland on Aug. 7. The department may not need to avail itself of the service of these vessels because of the possible return of some of those which have already started or are about to start for the Philippines, in which case the two last mentioned will not he taken. A disjunct point in favor of the government in the charter of the Northern Pacific vessels is the privilege given by the company to the government to re-deliver them at Hong Kong. This will result In a material saving to the government as the vessels may not be needed after making one trip. It is with considerable regret that the government officials have been compelled to take the Initiatory steps for impressing weasels into the service of the United States government. This, however, they have found necessary in the case of the three vessels ! cf the Pacific Coast Steamship Company which 'are desired by the uepartment and which they have been unable to secure because of an inability to agree on the terms of the charter. The vessels referred to, namely, The Senator, the Queen and the Pueblo, have not yet been actually impressed into the government service, but will be if after another examination by General Merritt they are found to be in eatisfactory condition for transport purposes. If the rate of compensation for the use of the vessels cannot be agreed on by the agents of the government and the company, it will be adjudicated hereafter, either through the Court of Claims or through some other method that may be devised by the government. This is the first instance in which steps for the impressment of vessels for the use of the government bas been taken during the present war, but it is understood that the intention of the War Deparment hereafter Is to adopt such measures wherever there is a disposition on ■jme* part of agents or owpers of steamship lines to embarrass the government by holding out for fancy figures for the charters of ships. This will apply either to the Atlantic or the Pacific coast, as the necessity may arise. Officials characterize the action of the companies as showing a lack of patriotism and consideration for the interests of the government during the present emergency, and say they are not disposed hereafter to have this interfere with the active and prompt procurement of needed vessels. Following is a list of the vessels obtained by the War Department and those in prospect—all for use on.the Pacific coast: AusCity of Sydney, City of Peking, China, Colon, Zerlandia, Ohio, Indiana, Morgan City, City of Para, Tacoma, Columbia, Olympia, Arizona, Victoria, Senator, Queen and City of Pueblo. The Navy Department is also busy In arranging details for the Manila expeditions, having undertaken to make ready tne trans§orts which will carry the soldiers from San tancisco to Manila. Work on these is beIng hurried under telegraphic orders, and nyjthe end of the week there will be sufficJbnt miHtary force afloat to enable Admiral Dewey, when it reaches him, to do pretty much as he pleases at Manila. This is an object very much at heart just now, for fully recognizing the good military qualities displayed by the insurgents, according to the newspaper reports, in the combats around Cavite, the officials are loath to rely entirely upon them for any length of time, fearing a relapse on their part into savagery that might startle the civilized world. Captain Gridley’s Remains. WASHINGTON, June B.—After much cabling the Navy Department has finally received information from Surgeon Anderson, In charge of the United States hospital at Yokohama, that the remains of Captain Gridley, after being embalmed and delivered on board the Coptic, which sails to-day for San Francisco, had been finally delivered to Mr. Copman for cremation, in accordance ‘ 'with the request of Captain Gridley’s widow. The department was unable to insure the cremation of Captain Gridley’s remains in time to sail on the Coptic, and as nothing 1 is known of the sailing hours, it is presumed that the ashes will not come on the Coptic, but on the next steamer, which sails two weeks hence. Prominent naval officers, including many on duty, believe the ashes will receive burial at Arlington, in the conspicuous section assigned to the remains of army and nayal officers. As Captain Gridley was one of the first martyrs of the present war. It is certain that his remains will be aseigned to a conspicuous position, probably near the monument of Adjnirai Porter. Spanish Vessels to Be Raised. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., June 8.-The United States government will raise the Spanish vessels sunk in Manila harbor by Admiral Dewey’s gunners. Three San Francisco firms, T. P. Whitelaw & Son. A. vloodslde & Cos. and the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, will be called on for bids for undertaking the work^

HARD RAP AT THE B. & L. COURT DECIDES EXCESSIVE INTEREST MIST BE REFUNDED. Enthusiastic Time at the State Sun-day-School Convention —• Judge Lots Against Mayor Cromer. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON, Ind., June B.—Foreign building and loan associations are withdrawing from this county as fast as possible. The courts have just decided against high interest rates. They have been charging illegal interest and by fines, assessments and other schemes have, in some cases, realized as much as 35 per cent, per annum on their capital. The decisions hold that they must pay back with interest all over 6 per cent, collected. They are willing to compromise and draw out under almost any conditions.

Judge Lotz to Be Slaughtered. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MUNCIE, Ind., June B.—The Eighth district Democratic congressional convention in this city this afternoon selected Judge Orlando J. Lotz, of Muncie, by acclamation. It was a cut-and-dried affair, manipulated by District Chairman Vernon Davis, of this city, and the faction in the party that has been fighting Mr. Davis, and has caused two distinct organizations in Delaware county, is much put out. The whole affair was very irregular and disgusted many Democrats present, who openly declared their intentions of supporting Mayor Cromer, of Muncie, the Republican nominee. Madison county, instead of Adams, was first ca'led to nominate candidates, this to enable John R. Brunt, of Anderson, to place Lotz’s name before the meeting first. Each county in order seconded the nomination, and Ixtz, who had issued an ultimatum that he would not accept the “honor” if there were opposition, was escorted to the stage and accepted. The Chicago platform was indorsed, and the mention of Bryan’s name caused cheering. Fred Caldwell, of Randolph county, was chairman, and L. G. Ellingham, of Adams, secretary. Addresses were made by A, N. Martin and Samuel Ralston. Revolt Against School Board. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. PORTLAND, Ind., June B.—The muddle existing here over the displacement of C. L. Hottel as superintendent of the city schools and the appointment of I. E. Neff, the former principal, culminated last night in a mass meeting at the courthouse. Resolutions were passed asking Professor Neff to resign. The resolution also asked the resignations of W. E. Miller as principal of the High School and Fred L. Sims as one of the assistants; also that of I. D. Wiest as a member of the School Board. Mr. Miller was formerly assistant High School principal, but was promoted with Professor Neff, and Sims was then appointed. When there wus first talk of removing Hottel a petition was largely signed asking the School Board to retain him. The board ignored the petition and let Hottel go. The School Board has organized as follows: President, I. D. Wiest, the member who is asked to resign; treasurer, F. W. Mincks; John Detamore, secretary. Mincks and Detamore are in sympathy with the Hottel element. Dr. John W. Hall was a member of the board which made the change in the school force, but his time expired and Detamore was elected on Monday night. Snrrendered Without Fight. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TIPTON, Ind., June B.—This morning Marshal Racobs, being armed with a warrant for the arrest of Charles Harlan, went to Sharpsville and on his arrival took him in on a charge of stealing hogs. Harlan, knowing that the officer was heavily armed and remembering the fate of his nephew on last Friday night, threw up his hands and made a peaceable surrender. There are a half dozen more charges against him, but owing to his desperate disposition, they have been held, fearing that he might burn some one’s property or kill someone. The citizens of Sharpsville are determined to break up the Harlan gang and this is the last one now in the county. Milo Harlan is a fugitive, supposed to be in Shelby county. Charles is now in jail and there is great rejoicing among the people of Sharpsville and vicinity. Decatur Courthouse Condemned. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. DECATUR, Ind., June 8. —Adams county’s big courthouse has been condemned as unsafe and will be partially torn down. The commissioners had experts examine the building, who found the timbers supporting the dome- badly decayed. They let the contract to have the dome removed and will build a high tower at the northeast comer of the building, which will entirely destroy the appearance of the building. This is another instance of poor Democratic management. The courthouse has been built but a comparatively few r years and, at the price paid, should have lasted through all time. “Shoestring” District Nominee. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. HUNTINGTON. Ind., June S.—The Joint representative convention to-day for Grant, Howard, Huntington, Miami and Wabash nominated O. A. Somers, of Kokomo. His only opposition was Jesse Parmenter, of Wabash. The convention was large and enthusiastic, all counties being fully represented. An Annual Occurrence. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SHELBYVILLE. Ind., June 8.-Some few days ago the water In Blue river, which

flows just west of this city, began to turn dark until now it is as black as ink. Hundreds of pounds of fish have been taken out of the water along the shore. It is understood here that the refuse from the Carthage strawboard works had been turned Into the river and destroyed all the fish for miles below. The same thing has happened every spring for several years. A public meeting is being arranged and it is probable that a perpetual injunction will be asked to prevent a repetition of the occurrence.

ALLEGED CAPTURES. Two Spanish Gunliouts Said to Have Been Taken by Americans. KEY WEST, Fla., June B.—An auxiliary gunboat which arrived here this morning from Cardenas reports all quiet there except that the auxiliary gunboat Dryden is making things very lively for the Spaniards by blazing away at them whenever she sees a movement on the Spanish gunboats or on the defensive works at Cardenas. The British collier Roath, a sister ship of the Restoimel, was held up June 4 by an American gunboat. Not responding promptly to a blank shot, a solid shot was sent across her. Next day she was held up by a second gunboat and obeyed immediately. The Roath was in ballast bound for Mobile from Sun Juan de Puerto Rico, where she had discharged her cargo of coal. On June 4 the steamer Roath informed an auxiliary gunboat off Cardenas that an American war ship had captured two Spanish gunboats two hundred miies east of Cardenas and was towing them. Afterwards the auxiliary gunboat sighted at night an unidentified American war ship. The officer on the bridge said she was alone, but other persons on board thought thev saw One small boat in tow. There is great skepticism as to the reported capture. Officers say the prizes would have arrived, if sent here, before this. The so-eallcd Spanish gunboats, or "cannoneeras,” are old slow lugs, carrying one or two guns. There are many of them along the Cuban coast, but they generally stay close in shore.

STILL IN CAMP. (Concluded from First Page.) row will buy heavy Colt weapons of the government supply agent. The war is very grim to them now, though every man is eager for the fray. Letters continue to reach Private FPzhugh addressed to “the boy who received no letters from home,” by people who read the little incident in the Journal. Some of these are worth publishing. One which came yesterday from an Industrial Training School girl at Indianapolis, waa particularly beautiful, but she requested the young soldier not to give it out for publication. He is still at the division hospital- at Chickamauga, happily out of danger. In all he has received about a dozen of these letters and each one is similarly addressed on the envelope. “The outpouring of letters following that publication in the Journal,” said Chaplain Medbury yesterday, “was a most unusual response. Os the letters I have seen those from mothers have been the most touching. The young soldier has been delighted with all these tender notes.” The first papers containing home news reached camp Monday. Hospital Steward Schell was one of the most impatient of the men to catch a glimpse of the journals. Seizing one eagerly he turned to the baseball column. “Thank heaven, Fort Wayne •von,” he exclaimed, and then “What did Cincinnati do to Boston?” G. L. P. ANOTHER WATER FAMINE. Canteen In Col. Smith’s Regiment Under Strict Control. Correspondence.of the Journal. CHICKAMAUGA PARK, Ga., June B. The One-hundred-and-fifty-eighth Indiana is about as close to a water famine as they have been at any time. Every well over which it had jurisdiction has gone dry, and the troops are now compelled to depend entirely on water which is hauled from Crawfish springs. As the springs are seven or eight miles away, it takes about one-tenth of the regiment to keep a supply. The pipe line which runs north and south across the park has not reached the One-hundred-and-fifty-eighth. After the nice lazy time of Sunday it seemed rather tough to the boys to go out on drill to-day. A number of the boys have very sore arms from vaccination, probably two hundred having to be excused from drills on that account. The officers as a rule are having no trouble with their arms. Sighting drills are now the order of the day. These will be followed by target practice and kept up till the boys become proficient in the art of “plugging” a Spaniard. Some fear they will never have the chance of “drawing a bead” on the Dons. Dr. Carstensen received notice yesterday from a mineral water company at home that it had expressed prepaid a caselof water for the officers’ table. Water is ao scarce that the barbers are fearful of being driven out of business. Before this men could get a shave, but no washing of the face went with it. Now they will not allow the water to be used for making lather. Joseph Boswell, of Indianapolis, who came down Saturday night with Fred Shepard and his party, after staying over Sunday with his sons, who are in Battery A, came over to our camp this morning and was given the glad hand all around. The regimental mess has been robbed. When Major Rich took charge of this mess he immediately bought two butter knives. These were kept in the safe with the rest of the plate, being reserved for extras. Sunday there was a good dinner and some extra people, all of the Indianapolis friends being at mess. The cook reports that he has not seen the butter knives since then. They cost 15 cents apiece, but were valued as if they cost their weight in gold. Josh Zimmerman is said to be under suspicion.

Equipment is beginning to come in. Monday Quartermaster Hopkins took eight or ten wagons to the general quartermaster s storeroom and came back loaded down with clothes. The full number of hats, leggings, blouses, shoes and blankets and part of their shirts, hose and trousers. All are brand new, too. The rest of the equipment is expected to-day. None will be issued until all is here. Then every man will have anew hat, anew blouse, anew pair ot trousers, new shoes, nev* T shirts, new underwear and blanket and new socks. After that will come the new' guns and ordnance stores, and then the One-hundred-and-htty-eighth Indiana will be ready to go on to Tampa. The boys are all anxious to go. Beer is the only beverage sold in the One-hundred-and-fifty-eighth canteen. It s strictly under military control, and a regimental guard is stationed to see that orders are carried out. The canteen is under the general supervision of Mr. Wilson, or Indianapolis, who has been the sutler. The canteen is open from 10 to 12 a. m., from 1 to 2:30 and 5 to 8:30 p. m. No man is al owed to purchase more than tw*o glasses at one time and no man. is allowed to treat, so that none who does not want it can be induced to taste it. No beer can be taken away from the counter, the “growler” being forbidden in any shape. No beer will be sold to any one who is in the least under the influence, and any evidence of drunkenness will be visited with the severest penalty. This canteen will be a great boon to those who have learned to drink beer at home as a beverage, and who till now have been deprived of it, especially will it be so since the w'ater supply is in danger of being cut off. The profits of the canteen go to the hospital and this will be a great help to the sick who receive only the regular army rations of well men. bacon, beans, potatoes and hard bread. The profits of the first afternoon amounted to J2S and with that the hospital staff was able to begin giving the sick men milk toast andt such other good things. Company H boys had their anniversary dinner Monday, their produce having Come through safely this time. Being a work day the dinner was not so elaborate as had been hoped. One of the boys after dipping out two big ladles of rich cream gravy from a two-gallon bucket, remarked that “this gravy is just like mother makes.” The remark was echoed in more than one mind, but most of the boys were too busy storing it away to stop to talk. The memory of those mashed potatoes and that chicken gravy will linger with Company H many a day. _ Fred Schmidt, of Company D. put in yesterday sawing wood. Squads of four or five men from each company, in charge of a noncommissioned cfiicer, are allowed to visit Chattanooga on Sundays. Schmidt w r ent out with a squad last Sunday, but gave them “the slip” and roamed about by himself. Asa result he went to the guard house and sawed wood with a handsaw' on Monday. Dr. Harry Moore was sick Monday, but has recovered and is on duty to-day feeling as well as ever. Dr. Charlton is himself again and is getting his division hospital into shape as fast as possible. Major Baguley, surgeon of the First West Virginia Regiment, has been made brigade surgeon and now 'has general supervision of the three regiments, including the One-hun-dred-and-fifty-eighth. which form the Second Brigade. Adjutant Poland has been given a detail of four men from each brigade and has been ordered to lay a water pipe line. The officers and men who are to be detailed for recruiting purposes have at last been determined upon as lollows: First Battalion—Capt. Charles S. Tarlton, Company H; Sergeant George 11. Keep, Company D: Corporal -a. A. Parker, Company A; Privates Charles O. Fort, Company D. and S. N. Drybread, Company E. Second Battalion-Lieut. George W. Powell. Sergeant George S. Harvey, Company M; Privates Clayton Huffman, Company B: Charles A. Godwin. Company G, and L. L. Spencer. Company I. Third Battalion-Major 11. T. Conde; Sergeant Stephen J. Cox, Company K; Corporal Lewis Bridenstine, Company L; Privates Charles Daly, Company F, and Albert T. White, Company C. These men will go home as soon as transportation arrives. The brigade horses turned over to Colonel Smith were sick and unfit for service and also there was danger of other horses being infected by them. A board of survey composed of Majors Will S. Rich, of Indiana; Philip 8. Shafer, of West Virginia, and G. P- Baker, ot Ohio, was appointed. After viewing the animals they recommended that an inspector bo sent to look at them, and that they be condemned as unfit for service and sola. Their report went up the channel. Mr. Wilson, of Indianapolis, formerly know-n as "Reddy" Wilson, who kept the lunch establishment at Camp Mount, is with us and is running a , goofi lunch room, where Ivepjrthlng *. Is* ‘-nicely served and at straight prices. Here the boys buy pure lemonad* cone* Iced

tea, egg lemonade, ham sandwiches, egg sandwiches, tobacco, cigars and cigarettes. He hopes to be able to serve hot wheat cakes and many other things. All these eatables are bought by the boys and go far to help out the army diet. When one considers that this brigade has about three thousand men in it, most of whom are uncomfortable so long as they have a cent in their pockets, one can see that Mr. Wilson’s, business is prosperous. To-day some lady friends of Dr. Carstensen came out from Chattanooga with baskets running over with good things and invited him and his brother officers to dine. They officers seized the opportunity at once and gorged themselves on chicken, pie, cake, veal loaf, eggs, sandwiches, oranges, bananas and everything which goes to make up a picnic dinner. The officers of the One-hundred-and-fifty-eighth will remember this particular party of Chattanooga women. J. I. H. MANY RECRUITS NEEDED. Number Required by Each Regiment— Mails Not Robbed. CHICKAMAUGA PARK, Ga., June B. Recruiting officers are leaving the camp in numbers, almost every regiment having completed Its detail. Below will be found the figures, approximately, of the number of recruits the regiments here will need to complete their quota under the recent order from the War Department. First Ohio 474 Fourth Ohio 249 Second Ohio 491 Sixth Ohio 492 Third Ohio 500 First Illinois ,280 Third Illinois 280 Fifth Illinois 132 Second Wisconsin 300 Third Wisconsin 274 One-hundred-and-fifty-seventh Indiana....3oo One-hundred-and-fifty-eighth Indiana 285 One-hundred-and-sixtieth Indiana 281 First Pennsylvania 503 Fourth Pennsylvania 007 Fifth Pennsylvania 700 Ninth Pennsylvania 060 Sixteenth Pennsylvania 500 Second New York 2SI Eighth New York 280 Twelfth New York 259 Fourteenth New York 281 Ninth New" York 293 Twelfth Minnesota . 274 Fourth Minnesota 200 First Missouri 281 Second Missouri 349 Fifth Missouri ■ 257 Thirty-first Michigan 283 First West Virginia 296 Twenty-first Kansas 281 Eighth Massachusetts 351 First New Hampshire 300 Second Nebraska 288 Thir.d Tennessee 309 Second Kentucky 278 Third Kentucky 281 First Vermont 280 First Arkansas 292 Second Arkansas 238 First South Carolina 300 There is absolutely no truth in the stories sent out from here that the mail of the soldiers is being robbed. There have been one or two instances where letters have been reported lost, but ff there has beeu any complaint that letters have been robbed the authorities know nothing of it. The mail for the soldiers does not leave the postal cars until It is put In the regimental mail pouches, and there Is no more danger In the transmission of mail to that point that to any other. The two mail cars, one receiving and the other distributing, are In the constant charge of an inspector and the handling of matter is as satisfactory as under the circumstances it could well be. The Postoffice Department has ordered the erection of a building at this point for the use of the money order department, which has been steadily growing. An idea may be had of the business at this office when it is known that the sale of postage stamps to-day was thirty thousand 2-cent stamps. The supply on hand gave out and many soldiers who had emergency letters bought 4-cent stamps rather than wait for anew supply. General Boynton, of the park commission, stated to-day that the appropriation of $lO.009 for the water works at the park had been exhausted, but that mains had been laid through the park and many connections to various regiments had been made. An additional sum will be needed to lay pipe to the regiments not now reached ahd to extend tho main to such points as might be determined upon for the location of the Sixth corps. The mains were temporarily laid on top of the ground, but each regiment has been assigned the duty of burying suen of the mains as passes its camp. The usual hard drills and maneuvers employed the various regiments to-day. The temperature continued high, but was again relieved somewhat by a steady breeze. What the whole army is now praying for is a hard downpour of rain. The dust is increasing daily and unless rain soon abates it will become an almost unbearable nuisance. Thous.ords of horses and wagons constantly moving along the park roads and the long dry spell have combined to make this nuisance the greatest and, in fact, the only one with which the army has to contend. General Brooke has issued an order forbidding hucksters and peddlars going through the park. The order was effective to-day and the change is very noticeable. Hundreds of wagons have been going from camp to camp selling stuff of various kinds and a number have been making small fortunes off the soldiers. General Brooke ended the practice on account of the confusion it caused and on account of the complaints about the poor quality of the things dispensed.

BARNETT’S REGIMENT. Recruiting; Officers En Route to Indiana to Secure More Volunteers. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. CAMP ALGER, Va., June B.—The mustering officers and assistants appointed from this regiment left for Indianapolis to-day at noon. They will not know what plan of mustering will be followed until they reach Indiana. The list published in the Journal was correct. The work of drills will be curtailed for the time being, and all double time stopped on recommendation of surgeons. It was feared the men would be overheated while their vaccinated arms were swathed In flannel. Under the present orders recruiting officers will proceed to a point central in their respective districts, and there awant orders from the adjutant general. There was a wild rumor abroad to-day that the Second Division would be moved some place within a week. There is no authority for the report. By a special order fifteen enlisted men have been detached from companies in the One-hundred-and-fifty-ninth Indiana for duty in the division hospital corps. The names, relative rank and company are as follows: Charles Duerson, Company B, Terre Haute; Chester D. Johnston, Company M, Evansville; Harry Hawkins, James McConkey and William H. Gifford, Company I, Greencastle; William H. Jiencke and Edwin Baldridge, Company B, Terre Haute; Robert Bailey, Mat Mcßride and Harvey Reckort, Company D, Washington; Bufford McQuart and Orra B. Lloyd, Company L, Vincennes; Claude McDonald, Company K, Princeton; Henry Bauerlo, Company C, New Albany. These places will be filled in the companies by recruits. The water question is still a very bothersome one. The well recently completed by the regiment is not yet furnishing the best of drinking water. A second well is being dug by the members of Companies B and D, which promises a better success. Under orders from the chief surgeon, all water is now boiled before using. Advices received by the several captains indicate that the recruiting of men in the various towns will only require as much time as will be necessary to examine recruits, as many m< n are awaiting a chance in each town. The companies each need twenty-eight and twenty-nine men. The order for vaccination has been changed, and now every soldier and officer will be inoculated with virus. The work was first confined to those who had not yet been vaccinated, but now it extends to all. A half dozen boxes of “points" were used to-day by Dr. Davis, acting regimental surgeon. The Y. M. C. A. tent Is now in full swing. Musical and devotional services are held every evening after parade, and are well attended. Chaplain Weaver baptized* Private Mino, of Company A, last evening in front of regimental headquarters. Mino lives at Decker, Ind.. a few miles from Vincennes. Several companies in the One-hundred-and-fifty-ninth have money coming from the State of Indiana which they would like to have. Colonel Durbin held out money for the company fund at the request of the captains, but has not yet sent it on. Senator Fairbanks Is untiring in his efforts to make the boys of the One-hundred-and-fifty-ninth Indiana -comfortable at Camp Alger, and is moving to increase the water supply for the regiment.- He has also suggested to the War Office the desirability of removing the camp to a better location. He has requested Colonel Barnett to keep him advised of the exact condition of the Indiana regiment, and will make It his special business to see that they have everything that is coming to them. So far as known to-day nothing has been decided upon a# to moving the troops, it

waa determined, however, to make no further rearrangement of the regiments in the present camp until water is supplied at their new quarters. Major General Butler to-day aucoeeded Gen. Francis Guenther as commanding officer of the Second Division. There has been some friction caused by the order to place the greater part of regimental hospital supplies in division hospitals, as the various regiments dislike to part with what they consider their property. No serious cases of illness have developed recently. Private Wright, Company G, Seventh Ohio, will be sent to his home at Chillicothe, O. He is suffering from insanity. Professor Norcross delivered a lecture at Y. M. C. A. tent Tuesday night. G. W. B. BATTLE AT CfllMflNEßfl. (Concluded from First Page.) Kingston, Jamaica, under date of June 8, as to Monday’s bombardment at Santiago. The dispatch waa carried to Kingston by the dispatch boat Premier: “We had a good view of Monday’s bombardment. On Sunday Admiral Sampson, in conference with Commodore Schley and the fleet captains, decided upon bombardment, because of the Spanish activity on the new batteries. Monday morning was misty, with frequent showers. “When the fleet opened fire the Spanish batteries answered promptly, though at first feebly. Then the heavy batteries, armed with Krupp and Armstrong guns, poured in a storm or flame. The guns of these forts were brought to Santiago by the Montserrat on her last voyage from Cadiz and are believed to have been manned by German and French experts. The Spaniards had boasted that no fleet could live before them, but their aim jroved poor and the war ships suffered comparatively little damage. The Yankee (formerly El Norte), manned by militia, kept in shore fighting the batteries near the beach and did useful w r ork. “The militia have given good proof of their value, though they fought perhaps with too much eagerness, thus losing some of their efficiency. During the bombardment a battery of field pieces at the Cuban headquarters, on a mount tin top to the north of Santiago, opened fire with ten mile range. "The Dolphin shelled a small for: near the beach, where Spanish troops were seen, but no reply was made from this xjoint. and it was afterwards discovered that the Spaniards had mounted several Quaker guns there. Only two pieces were served east of Morro Castle, and these were silenced. "The Marblehead and the New Orleans were sent, respectively, west and east to attack any isolated fortifications. They worked inshore, keeping tneir guns going rapidly. During the bombardment a shell exploded on the port quarter of the Vizcaya. It dismounted one of her guns, damaged her rudder and injured several seamen. The destroyer Furor, which was cruising about Cayo Smith in the harbor, made several rushes out from her post. In one of these a shell exploded over her bow, tore open the forward deck, damaged her turtleback and compelled her to take refuge further up in the harbor. “Very little damage was done to the American ships. It is reported that the Suwanee was struck by a shell, w T hich burst and wounded a seaman in the leg slightly. Some of the vessels suffered somewhat from the recoil of the heavy guns. "The shells did so much execution that Morro Castle has the appearance of a picturesque ruin. From the Premier we could see the shells striking the hills, tearing the trees down and scattering the rocks and earth in all directions. Indeed, the sky line near Morro, from our view point, is quite changed and now shows great gaps. Vegetation is exterminated and all the buildings are demolished where the shells fell. All the Spanish guns on the sea front, with the exception of the smooth bores in Morro fort, were silenced and many were ruined.’’

GEN. SHAFTER’S ORDERS. Troops Instructed to Be Ready for Departure on Thursday. ATLANTA, June B.—The Atlanta Journal to-day prints the following from its Tampa correspondent: “East Wednesday one of General Shafter’s aids posted on the bulletin board at headquarters a copy of the official order for troops to be in readiness for immediate departure. About the same time a notice was put on the board to newspaper correspondents wishing to go with the army to report to Lieutenant Miley at noon Thursday. General Shafter’s order was as follows: “Tampa, Fla., May 31, 1898. (General Orders, No. 5.) “The following troops will hold themselves in readiness to move immediately on board transports upon notification from these headquarters: “1. The Fifth Army Corps. “2. The battalion of engineers. “3. The detachment of the signal corps. “4. Five squadrons of cavalry, to be selected by the commanding general of the cavalry division in accordance with instructions previously given. “5. Four batteries of light artillery, to be commanded by a major, to be selected by the commanding officer of the light artillery brigade. “6. Two batteries of heavy artillery to be selected by the commanding officer of the siege artillery battalion, with eight siege guns and eight field mortars. “7. The battalion of engineers, the infantry and cavalry will be supplied with five hundred pounds of ammunition per man, "8. All troops will carry in addition to the fourteen days’ field rations now on hand ten days’ travel rations. “9. The minimum allowance of tentage and baggage as prescribed in General Order 54, A. G. 0., current series, will be taken. “10. In addition to the rations specified in Paragraph 8 or this order, the chief commissary will provide sixty days’ field rations for the entire command. "11. All recruits and extra baggage, the latter to be stored, carefully piled and covered, will be left in camp, in charge of a commissioned officer. “12. Travel rations will be drawn at once by the several commands, as indicated in Pafagraph B.’’ The Fifth Corps includes only two volunteer regiments, the Seventy-first New York and the Second Massachusetts. In the corps are about twelve thousand men. On Saturday night General Shaftef issued an order transferring to his corps all the volunteer troops in Tampa and vicinity except the Georgia and Florida regiments, to his command, taking thus' many regiments properly belonging to General Lee’s corps. This was done, of course, to strengthen the Invading force. This addition to the Fifth army corps increased the invading force from about 15,000 to nearly 25,000. Col. F. B. Po*e>-’ Ambition. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, June B.—Representative Hemenway Is trying to obtain authority to have one of the colored companies allotted Indiana recruited in his district.

The magnificent piece of pen work was carried over to the Navy Department, where it will be held subject to Admiral Dewey’s disposition. § tether admirable an, by dint of , wrings a forfrom niggardly instances.
