TO BEGIN THIS MORNING RECHIITIXG TO BRING BATTERY A IP TO STANDARD. Three Ofllcer* and Twelve Private* Arrive to Recruit for Colonel Barnett'* Regiment. This morning at 9 o’clock Lieut. Edward Johnson and Corporal Henry A. Palmer, of the Twenty-seventh Indiana Battery, will begin enlisting recruits for Captain Curtis’s company now at Chickamauga. The work will be done at the company’s armory. As soon as ten or twelve men have been enlisted they will be sent to Chickamauga in charge of the most competent of their own number. Lieut. Johnson yesterday morning called on Adjutant General Gore and received a copy of general order No. 61, June 1, of the War Department, which contains a column of detailed instruction relative to the work of enlisting recruits. Beside this Lieut. Johnson received from the adjutant general a package of enlistment blanks. Under the general order referred to the recruited men are to be sent to the front In squads of ten or twelve. When that number have been enlisted, the War Department will be notified and Adjutant General Corbin will direct the recruiting officers to apply to the .quartermaster In charge of the district (Lieut. Peterson) for transportation for the men, coffee money, and money for other necessary Incidental expenses. The men are to he sent to Chickamauga without arms or equipments, and will be providcnJ with all necessities as soon as they reach the field. As stated yesterday, the recruiting officers have the power of quartermasters and employ their own physicians to make the examinations. Yesterday i>ieut. Johnson cast about for a physician to make the examination. It Is not believed that Lieut. Johnson and Corporal Palmer will have to remain here more than a week or ten days. Under the order referred to Lieut. Peterson has the right to provide temporary quarters for the recruiting officers. In the case of Lieut. Johnson nothing of this kind will be necessary, as the recruiting will be done at the Armory of Battery A. corner of old Seventh street and Senate avenue. About forty young men, all eager to enlist, turned up at the armory yesterday morning, under the Impression that the work was to begin then. In the afternoon there was half that many waiting. Preference will be given to the former members of the artillery who were “turned down" when the size of the company was reduced. A number of them have since enlisted for service In the regular army at the office of Captain Black. It was said yesterday that therd are not more than a dozen available men who were turned down before. Things arc likely to be delayed at Fort Wayne when Captain kanke undertakes to recruit his men He left here at midnight Wednesday expecting to find orders awaiting him at his home. It seems from general order No. 61. under which all recruiting officers are to operate, application for blanks i e ma^c lo Adjutant General Gore. The latter has on hands the recruiting blanks for Captain Ranke, which were forwarded to him with the infantry blanks from TVashington. Captain Ranke called on Colonel Wilson when he was In the city, but was informed that the Governor had no instructions for him. It did not occur to the captain to call on the adjutant general. ♦— €'L. BARNETT'S DETAIL. Fifteen Men Arrive from Tamp Alger to Seek New Recruit*. Last night the officers and enlisted men who have been detailed to recruit the companies of Col-'nel Barnett’s regiment, the One-hundred-and-fifty-ninth Indiana Volunteers. now stationed at Camp Alger, passed through the city They arrived about 10 o’clock and left on the Vandalia at 11:20 for Bloomington, Vincennes and Greencastle. where the work of enlisting recruits w ill be conducted There Is,one line officer and Jour enlisted men from each of the three battalions of the regiment. Capt. William Louden, of Company I, Greencastle, and Bergeant Maurice Bayard. Company L. Vincennes; Privates Winston Menzies. Company H, Mount Vernon; Sherfey Hanna, Company G, Brownstown, and John McLaughlin, Company C, New Albany, constitute the detail for the first battalion, First Lieutenant McCoy. Company A. Vincenses.

and Sergeant E. C. Thorne, Company A, Vincennes; Corporal James E. Miller, Company D. Washington, and Privates Alva A. Catlin, Company B. Terre Haute; Leonard Strickland, Company K, Princeton, constitute the detail for the second battalion. Second Lieutenant Benton Curtis, Company I Greencastle, and Sergeant Herbert L. Kingsbury. Company E, Evansville; Corporal William S. Clsle. Company M. Evansville, and Privates George E. Black. Company I, Greencastle. and Joseph L. Rogers. Company F, Madison, constitute the detail for the third battalion. The officers expected to reach their respective towns last night. None of had received any detailed instructions with reference to enlisting recruits. All of them understood that they were to report to James K. Gore, adjutant general of Indiana, for detailed Instructions, enlistment blanks, etc. Upon arriving at home they will communicate with the adjutant general of the State. None of the officers anticipates any delay la enlisting recruits, and. Indeed, all of them have Information that they will find many more men waiting to be enlisted than they can provide places for. The officers and their subordinates will be under the general orders referred' to elseswhere, which designates the manner in which recruits shall be enlisted. The party left Washington at 6 o’clock Wednesday afternoon without having received notice very long in advance of the fact that they were to come. All of them say that the conditions at Camp Alger have improved to a very great extent in the last few days. The water supply is much better. The health of the men Is fairly good. There is still some complaint of the quantity, if not the quality, of “grub" furnished. The men are very enthusiastic about the ability and force the colonel of the regiment has shown, and they seem to he particularly proud of the impression the Hoosiers have made on Camp Alger and administration officers from Washington who have visited the camp. Senator Fairbanks, Representatives Overstreet, Landis and others of the Indiana delegation in Congress make frequent visits to the camp, and have exerted themselves to procure all the favors possible for the Indiana boys. The regiment is very anxious to move on to Cuba, and, while It has no direct information as to when it will move, the Impression prevails that It will be in a very short time. The detail which returned last night does not expect to be detained in Indiana many days. © — FOR HOSPITAL SERVICE. A Phy*lelnn, a Pharmacist anil a Name Added to tli© Corps.

INDIANA OIL OPERATIONS. The La rare Number of New Well* Indicate Revival in Thi* State. Special to the In.lUnapolis Journal. MONTPELIER, Ind., June 9.—Operations are looking much more favorable in this field than it has for some time back, owing to the fact that the Ohio Oil Company has started operations and is building a great many new' rigs and making a large number of locations. The sensation is the well completed on the H. Y. Templeton farm, in Section 8, Washington township, Blackford county. This well for the first twenty-four hours produced 210 barrels of oil, but it is of but little value to the owners until they discover a way to produce the oil and not let the gas go to waste, for the well is also a heavy gasser. This is a very important test well and opens up a large scope of territory. The next important find is the well drilled in by W. E. Welton on the Yountz farm, in Jackson township. Wells county. It did 450 barrrels at the start. The Ohio Oil Company drilled a test dry hole on the Jay lands, in Erie township, Miami county. Neeley, Clover & Cos. have finished No. 2 well on the Shirk farm.

CONFINED IN A DUNGEON AND THEN BANISHED BY THE GOVERNOR GENERAL. OF PORTO RICO. Secretary of British fonsnlate at San Jonn Charged with Giving Information to American Consul. NEW YORK, June 9.—A copyrighted special from St. Thomas, Danish West Indies, to the Evening Journal says: “Suspected of having furnished the United States with information of the mining of San Juan harbor, Walter Bett, secretary of the British consulate at that port, has received his passports and been banished from Porto Rico by order of Governor General Macias. Mr. Bett was imprisoned in a dungeon for fifty-six hours, and during that time was subjected to gross maltreatment. British Consul General Crawford has made formal protest to his government, and serious international complications are imminent. “The day after the bombardmenf of San Juan by the ships of Admiral Sampson, General Macias caused an extensive system of mines to be installed in the outer harbor in anticipation of .a return of the ships and a subsequent bombardment. Although the greatest care and secrecy was observed by the Spanish in mining the harbor, the details of the work were conveyed to Consul General Hanna. He is now making an extensive report of the operations to the Navy Department. In some way General Macias learned of this, and as the British consulate has been guarding American interests at San Juan since the withdrawal of Mr. Hanna, he at pnee suspected that Englishmen had conveyed the news to the United States official. He peremptorily summoned thirty British subjects before him and put them through a searching examination, after which several of them were cast into prison for twenty-four hours. Upon Secretary Bett General Macias visited most of his wrath. The British official was practically accused of having revealed the military preparations, and he was dragged off to a dungeon. There he was kept for fifty-six hours in face of the protests of Consul General Crawford. WheiL he was released Mr. Bett was presented with his passports and ordered out of Porto Rich. He has left for St. Thomas. The military plans of General Macias were not disclosed to Mr. Hanna by British officials or subjects, but by trusted officers attached to General Macias’s staff.”

CURE FOR CONSUMPTION CHICAGO DOCTOR’S METHOD OF TREATING THE DREAD DISEASE. His Discovery Announced at the American Medical Association Convention—Officers Elected. DENVER, Col., June 9.—The feature of the fifty-first annual convention of the American Medical Association, now in session in this city, was a remarkable address at the forenoon session to-day by Dr. J. B. Murphy, of Chicago, who. although still a young man, is recognized as one of the greatest living surgeons. Dr. Murphy’s paper was entirely on the subject of the lungs, but with special reference to the discovery by him of a cure for consumption, or tuberculosis of the lungs* The discovery was made public to-day for the first time and its announcement aroused great enthusiasm among the assembled physicians. Dr. Murphy’s new treatment is based upon the fact that the sore spots in the lungs have a natural tendency to heal, the healing process being retarded or prevented by the constant expansdon of the tissues in breathing. The treatment consists in the introduction of pure nitrogen into the lung cavity through a hypodermic needle. The action of the nitrogen compresses the lungs and gives them entire rest. After a few weeks the nitrogen is withdrawn and air admitted, the lung expanding to its usual dimensions. After a warm discussion the convention refused to admit the New York State Medical Association, which does not accept the code of ethics of the American Medical Association. Columbus, 0., was to-day chosen as the next place of meeting, on June 7,8, 9 and 10, 1899. The following officers were elected: President.
