Major General Graham announced
the glad tidings to tho Pennsylvania
brigade at eight o'clock tonight.
Colonel Hoffman, of tho Eighth, hap
pened to bo at headquarters when the
news of General Goblii'H appointment
was received by General Graham from
the war department. The news spivnd
like wild fire through th' brigade ind
during tho half hour before tho roll

WILL GO SOUTH.
Nothing has as yet occulted to ells
tuvb the calculations that the nine
regiments enumerated In Saturday's
dispatches will leave here at once for
FeniJiidlna. there to possibly cmb.uk
for Santiago with tho army that (ien
cral Miles is forming. It Is expected
that the order to move will como at
any hour, as the Inspections of those
leglmonts have been concluded nnd
their equipping Is practically per
fected. There Is a persistent repot t that the
whole First division Is to be moved to
the south at once to become a part of
tho Santiago nimy. but it is gien
small credence In this brigade. Noth
ing definite can he said in ndvanco In
these mattcis. Commanders, It they
do receive an intimation of what they
can expect for the morrow, do not, for
obvious reasons, make it public prop
erty. Tho various circumstances that
can not bo concealed, however, often
times show unfailingly the true trend
of affairs and there are sufficient of
these now apparent to argue down this
new report.
First and foremost of these is the
order from tho quartermaster' depart
ment at Dunn Loting that the quar
termasters of all regiments, with tho
exception of the nine, In question,
should keep themselves and their teams
away from tho storehouses until
further oideis, which further orders It
is surmised will come when the nine
regiments that are. being prepared for
movement aio gotten away. There has
been no change In this order.
STILL EXPANDING.
Again, tho Pennsylvania regiments
are still undergoing expansion. Up to
uoou lodav only ICC of the 218 men
needed by the Thirteenth had arrived.
Tho Twelfth regiment Is In about tho
same condition. That General Miles
will keep "lils army waiting for the re
organization of the twenty-six com
panies comprising thisjjrlgadc and the
uniforming, nrming and training -for
la recruit must have some little tialn-
Ing of the Ml recruits that tho Eighth,
Twelfth and Thirteenth are bringing
In. Is hardly a reasonable supposition.
More likely Is It that he will do, as It
was first bald he would, tuke u pro
visional division composed of tho nine
regiments that are the faithest ad
vanced In equipping and most perfect
i . the matter of organization.
The Third battalion story Is afloat
again. This time It comes with such
strong symptoms of truth that Acting
Brigadier General Coursen was per
suaded to telegraph Governor Hast
ings last evening nsking If it was so.
The story was brought Into camp by
your correspondent. The ssouice whence
it came made it highly credible and
when It was communicated to Colonel
Coursen he was so impressed with Its
credibility ns to wire at once for an
official verification. It being late Sat
urday night when the telegram was
sent It is likely that an answer will
not be lecpived until tomorrow. All
that I am at llbeity to print of the
story Is that Governor Hastings yes
terday was Kin wrrd from tho war de
partment that his icquest for permis
sion to increase tho Pennsylvania
quota suflhiently to permit of supply
ing a thlid battalion to all Pennsyl
vania icglinents now In the United
States held been granted. This, If it is
true, means a mil for 2'00 additional
men and It also means that the Penn
sylvania legtments will not be called
Into action for some time to come.
UNIFORMS RUCKIVKD.
The Thirteenth sterday received
a big consignment of uniforms and like
equipment sir'iklent to provide for all
tho tcglment Including the lecrults.
There is no especial significance at
tached to this according to (Ju.irter
mastr Cox. He had a icqut.t'in H tr

coveted equipment.
Another fcol order was piomulgated
last night nnd is being enforced to

boo'iis on Sunday and makes it impos

flock over frun Washington to g-H even

GOSSIP OF Tllli CAMP.
Speclnl from a Ptaff Correspondent.
Camp Alger, Vn June 19 There has
been some hitch between the war de
partment and the Pennsylvania state
officers regai ding tho value of tho
property turned over to the United
States at Mt. Gretna. Iioards of sur
vey are now atbltrating the dispute.
In tho Thirteenth regiment the tao-k
has been assigned to Captain Fellows,
of Company F; Captain Oilman, of
Company D, and Lieutenant Dodge, of
Company R. They have made an In
spection and are working on their re
port. They will say that the transfer
red property, particularly the guns and
uniforms, are not worth a great deal.
They Intimate that they may say
something even more emphatic than
this.
Yesterday Quartermnfiter Cox was
engaged In distributing to the com
panies a lot of new equipments, among
other things 146 rifles. They are of
the same pattern as the old ones used
by the national guard. The fact that
the guns are stamped "Springfield
Arsenal, June 13. ISO?," nhows that
the war department Is certainly rush
ing things. Revolvers for tho non
commissioned officers have also been
locelved. They are ferocious looking
things as big as an old-fashioned
horse pistol. They are 43-callbre and
carry bix catridges.
Lieutenant Harrington, of Company
V, the Thlitecnth's handy man, has
just completed a large swimming pool
for tho use of the regiment. It Is lo
cated In a respectable sized brook a
mile nnd a half from camp. It is Jj
feet wide by 100 feet in length and has
an almost uniform depth of five feet.
It Is expected it will be ready for use
tomorrow.
Colonel Glrard had 45 extra men at
work about tho division hcipltal yes
terday fixing up thp tents and beds,
dlstilbutlng delicacies and reading
matter to the patients, arranging
things In the kitchen, putting fly net
ting over the cots and in the door
ways and putting everything in gen
eral in ship shape. The occasion of
all this developed at R o'clock when
word was sent throughout the camps
that General Sternberg, the chief med
ical officer of the at my. was coming up
from Washington at 7 o'clock In tho
evening to visit the surgpons. He
came, saw and was so well Impressed
with what he saw that he profusely
complimented Colonel Glial d and the
other surgeons on the excellence of
everything In general nnd the first
division hospital In particular.
Since Tuesday's Tribuno came to
camp with the announcement that
regimental commanders might at their
discretion grant seven-day furloughs
to the enlisted men. there has been a
veritable epidemic of death and dis
ease among the iclatlvcs of the Thir
teenth's members, according to tho
telegrams that arc being laid befoio
Colonel Mattes.
General Graham sent out a circular
yesterday calling attention to tho army
regulation forbidding gambling within
the limits of the camp. He said he ic
gretted to hear that some soldiers were
so forgetful ns to play cards while on
guard duty nnd expressed the hope
thyt he would not bo called upon to
Impose the seveie punishment tills of
fonso calls for.

RUMOR OF MURDER.
Pollen Traced tlm Report to lis
Soiiicc, ii I'rnzrN oiiiiiii'" Scrcnnu.
A rumor circulated late last night to
thp effect that a Lloyd street Italian
had been shot nnd killed by a fellow
countryman, was given general cred
ence lu the Providence section of the
city. Lieutenant of Police Spellman
directed an immediate Investigation as
soon as the report reached the station
house In the Noith F.nd precinct but
the falsity of the rumor was soon es
tablished. The story of minder grew In some
unaccountable way from the screams
of a demented woman, who lives on
Court stieet. Some young men had nn
noyed her and she showed her dis
pleasure by yelling murder. Her
screams wore taken too seriously.
V
