No orders hae tome as yet for the

it was his impression the Thliteenth
will remain at Gietna until It is fully
equipped and, If It has to take its turn
necotdlng to the order of musterlng-ln,
this would mean n stay of another week
or moio at this place
There is gnsit indignation tlnough
out the entne camp over last night's
outiage and demands aie heaid on all
sides for the disbanding of the offend
ing company and the court mnrtialing
of its commandei, Captain Ttus, who,
it is said, not only did not tt to pie
vent the deed but, it is rellabb said.
Turned young Shields oer to his men
to be drummed out of camp.
THIRTEENTH INDIGNANT.
The Thirteenth legiment Is especially
indignant oer the affair, as the blame
for it was placed on them by the un
scrupulous Eighteenth men. It Is haul
to distinguish between eighteen and
thirteen in the fiont-pleee of the caps
and, when the Eighteenth men get Into
tioublo ut night, they not Infrequently
escape the censure resulting fiom it
by passing themselves off as Thir
teenth men. The looting of the store
in "Washington was an Instance of it.
The ofllceis of the Thliteenth onlj
s.ued their command fmm the conse
quences by going befoie the uuthoi
illes in Washington and showing that
the Thirteenth regiment was at no time
dining the parade within sl blocks of
the looted store. "When the Eight
tenth's position in the foimation was
found to be in the ey block in which
the stoio was located the contemptible
tiick was dlscoeied and the blame
placed wheie It belonged.
Last night, when the ofllceis who
rescind oung Shields demanded to
know the command to which the mob
belonged, they answered, ' G, Thli
teenth." Of couise the deception was
soon dlseoeud by the oillcers, but, ns
the lepoit scuirled bioadcast through
the camp, the stoiy sometimes had the
Thirteenth as the guilty parties aiid
sometimes the Eighteenth. When the
Thirteenth men heard of the outrage
they were highly lncensd, but when
they learned that they were again be
ing made the scape-goat of the Flus
hing toughs they were wild with in
dignation. TALK OF A RAID
Colonel Couieen heard the muunur
ings of threats of "A raid" and "Clean
them out," "Give the whole company a
ride," and the like and when It looked
as if the thteats would be carried Into
effect the Colonel ordered a toll call
which rompelled the angry crowd to
dispel se and retire to tho company
streets. They were held there for the
rest of the night.
What will be done about the matter
is not known, but tho war department
lias been ndi Ised of it and w ill no doubt
take prompt action to punish it.
Shields is still under the dottor'rt cnie,
notwithstanding u-ports to the con
trary, sent out by the white wash
ing committee that investigated the
story tofla.
I was on the scene just after young
Hhleldfc was taken away by the otriceis
and spoke with no Ut-s than a dozen
eye witnesses of the whole affair
The Thirteenth's ambulance can led
the first corpse today. John Mathers,
of Tottstown, a member of the Sixth
regiment died suddenly during the
night from heart disease The Thir
teenth's ambulance was borrowed to
convey the remains to the depot There
wa a man from tho Third suffering
fiom pneumonia who had to be taken
to tho same train for shipment to the
X,ebaAon hospital. Ho was laid out on
top of the Ice box containing Matborg's
lemains, and in this fashion both weie
carried to the train. Tho sick man
was told that tho box on which his
stretcher rested contained supplies

publicity in the Keystone state, which
won Its proud distinction of being the

Heie is a lemarkablo thing in con

this escape In any other than a Provi

been witnesses to the lough usage to
which the soldlei s have been subject
ed. What Is equally icmarkable Is tho
fact that there Is scaicely any Illness
In the camp T'p to dnte the Ninth

hospital and he was suffering from
ciamps. The Thirteenth's hospital rec

have been especially useful in aiding

Inr and Colonel Hippie, commlssaiy
general of the state, has lendeied In
valuable assistance to the quaitormas

Major Thompson, the ranking officer
of the regulars, speaks In the highest
terms of the efficiency of tho N. O. P.
ofllceis. And the N. G. 1. does not feel
that its ollicers are being nattered in
the slislitest.
One thing of Interest In the mustering
in ptoceedings, which has escaped par
ticular mention, is the fact that Major
Thompson personally inspects with a
ciitlcal ej-o every man presented to him
for enrollment. As the men's names
nre called at tho musteilng station to
cscertnln If evety one on the loll is
prof-cnt. each steps forward two' paces
halts until Major P.iNton motions for
him to pioeed and then marches
ahead to the pavillion, where the oath
Is ndmlnlsteu'd when the whole com
pany Is lined up During the short
halt befmc proceeding to take his final
stand, the man is lapldly sized up by
the major's sharp eye. When asked
his particular reason for this proceed
ing Major Paxson smlbd and said,
Oh, I just want to seo the man'" Tho
supposition Is that his puipose is to
pick out a possible Spaniard that might
need some questioning before being fln
allj' accepted.
Incidentally, it might be remarked,
that theio are not u few men of Span
ish oMractlon enlisting In tho Ameri
can army. One Now Jersej company
has a first lieutenant who was born in
Madrid and lived theie until ho was
oulte a boy. Hither ut his home in
New at k or In the prcsenco of any of his
regiment it would be all a man's phys
leal welfnro for weeks would be worth
to question the lieutenant's American
ism. His mother, who was one of Mad
rid's lending society women In her
younger ilay, evidently possesses in
reality what Kfwilurds in general show
for It Is said of her that vvhllo she ie-
r
POWDER
grcts the circumstances, she told her
boy that ho had taken an oath to sup
port tho United Stales and If ho did not
do It aa fully as ho was able, he was
no Bon of bets The family Is quite
well known In Seranton, particularly to
frequenters of Asbury Park, where tho
handsome, soldlei ly, six-foot Spanish
American lad Is a prominent figure In
the best of the summef season's affairs.
Major W. S. Millar was offered a lieu
tenancy in Company A, but declined It
for two reasons- flist, because ho does
not think It Is consistent Willi the dig
nity of a soldier, who has earned some
distinction in twenty-one years of ser
vice to enlist beneath his rank, and,
second, because ho Is a stickler on reg
ular precedence In promotions and
would not want to be himself a viola
tor of the erv tulc for the observance
of which he has so sticnuously sttlven
during his long teim ot service In the
National Guard. "A man front outside
a company," he said, "might aspire to
and secure one of Its offices, but he
would likely fall In efficiency because
ho would alwaj-s bo regarded by the
men under him ns an Interloper."
Company O Is priding itself on a nice
compliment paid their command b
Major Paxson, who said that their rolls
and rcccids weie the neatest and most
accurate presented bv any company In
the division. The woik on them was
done by Compnnj clerk AVormser and
ex-Company Clerk ' olden Munger, who
staj-cd over to assist his successor In

Governor Hastings and the other

Previous to leaving Cttbun waters tho
Gusslo expeditionary force nad a

Cabanas, fifteen miles west of Havana,
where an attempt was made to land
part of tho cargo. On Friday morn

ment had been made with the Insur
gents to send supplies ashore at Point
Maja, a mile or o east of the en

The Gusslu and her convoy yester

up and down the coast, bj- blockading

comment in every European capital,
many papers icgardlng it as an un
statesmanllke display of tho counttj'w

Britain Is unable to tope with Russia
without tho assistance of an ally.

Some one has said, "Style is the
dress of thought." Do vou realize
when one visits your home how
the furnishings tell the character of
the occupant? In one home you
will find ordinary inoffensive styles,
that's the "thoughless" buyer. In
another hideous colors and won
derful designs. That's the "'care'
less" buyer. In another dainty,,
graceful designs, harmonious col
ors, the work of artistic people.
