Camp Alger, Va Juno 23, General
J. P. f?. Gobln arrived at 6 o'clock
this afternoon to report to General
Graham for formal assignment. As

briga'de was on Its two days' practice

I In a lilted ,-KI." ami can led nothing
Villi him in the way of afcoutioments
k i-ept a small hand -atchc! and a
I void.
Theie Is .1 very evident Intention to
1 hi' a laiRi- bod uf men from here
1 the "eaillest possible moment. Gen-
.il Miles Is foimliiK a Porto Rico
1 ny and he Intends that there shalt
J 1.0 such exasperating delays In Its
formation as characteilzed the gut
ting away of the Shaftei expedition.
ne Thlity-thlid and piiirty-fouith
J'lililgan, Secretin Alger's home regl
J puis, wanted to get away early. Gen
ii ai Miles was leiiuested to gle them
1 show. He did. Although they did
1 t li.no all their iccrults, they were
lied at ;i o'clock at night to leave
1 li o'clock next morning. Tho fol
t wing letter which the brigadiers are
1 ndlng throughout their regiments In-
'iites that there is a hurried hunt
b r available men:
In accordance with onHi-f, from Major
Geneial Commanding Second Army corps.
uu will report to tliece licidtiuiirters
with the least posMblo delay the number
ot enlisted men In oui (dnunaml. of ull
arms, that ai" fully aimed and equipped,
that W to m, with ordnance and ord
nance stores, quartermaster supplies,
tentage and In gnuial nil things that
the government supplies them with.
The major geneial Is emphatic In
calling for a speedy report.
FIRST TO HE CALLED.
The regiments that are nearest com
pletion In the matter of organization
and equipment can expect to be called
from hero at any hour. Tho Thir
teenth, whose guns were all condemned
last week by Inspector Rutler, Is not
likely to be In the Hist hatch that
goes. It is also lacking in canvas
suits, but It would not take long for
the government to supply these If It
bet out to do It. Theio Is no telling
when a call may come.
Colonel Coursen's brigade arrived at
Chain Hrldge on tho Potumao at 11
o'clock this mornlne after four and a
half hours of bard and exciting mnith,
hard becaus. nf the heat and dust,
and exciting because of the harass
ing assaults of the cavalty.
Reveille was hounded at 4 o'clock
with the intention of getting under
way at six, hut owing to unforseen
delays It was live minutes later than
this when the stmt was made.
The expedition moved under (III c

in the foun of a crescent with til"
houui nbout live hundred yaids apart.
Next to them came the reseive. then
the first rcblHtance, then the pioneer
corps with axes, picks and shovels
to clear the load and build bildge,
and dually the main column. Th
Thliteenth was under command of
Lieutenant Colonel Matte nnd was
headedby the new band and the dium
corps. The rear guaid consisted of
Companies E and II, of the Thliteenth
nnd was under the charge of Major
Wood. On both sides of the entire col

Each company was allowed to take
only sixteen tew of fours. Tho othom,
principally left behind to guard tins

cer of tho day, being In charge and
Assistant Surgeon Kellar lemaiulng
behind to look after their health. The
medical end of the expedition was In
chaigo of Acting Rrlgado Surgeon
Hurkei four attendants in charge
of these icgtmental surgeons and quad
of stewards and ordeilles comprising
his section of the column.
The detailed orders for march were
promulgated by Acting nrlgadler Gen
eral Coursen., The brlgndo left tho
camp at 6 o'clock a. 111. , nnd pioceed?d
bv an eight mile loute to the banks
of the Potomac in the neighborhood
of Gieat Palls, two miles above
Georgetown. The men weie in heavy
marching older and can led the recent
ly issued shelter tents on their backs,
each man cnnylng half a tent. When
they bivouaped two men slept under
each tent. Two days cooked rations
were can led.
Puisuant to the order from division
headquarters the men matched as If
in an enemy's country, with guatds
thrown out to fiont, Hank and rear.
The first battalion of the Twelfth
Regiment was detailed as adwince
guaid. Companies G and H of tho
Thirteenth foimed the tear guaid. Tho
wagon tuiln composed of two wagons
from each leglment followed the
Eighth, which was the second regi
ment In the line, a company fiom that
regiment acting as guard. A lieutenant,
a non-commissioned olllcer nnd twelve
privates fiom each regiment was de
tailed as a pioneer corps. They carried
axes, picks and shovels nnd following
In the wake of the Hist line of skir
mishers opened or repaired roads, etc.
Kirst Ketgeant Kredeiick A. Snyder,
adjutant of the Twelfth leglment. was
named by Colonel Com sen us acting
engineer officer of the expedition. He
took u sketch of the country through
which the troops matched and will
submit It to brigade headquarters upon
tho return from the trip. Commandeis
of leglments weie Instructed to repot t
to Colonel Coursen upon their leturn
and give a detailed statement of tho
experience ot their teglments on the
trip. Lieutenant Robeits ot Company
n, had chnige of the Thirteenth detail
for tho pioneer corps.
AN ATTACK.
Major General Hutler tho nlcht be
fore lisd secietly given orders to tho
cavaliv squadron to dispatch ono hun
dred troopers In piiisult of the infantry
and if possible capture their piovlslou
ttaln or cut off their rear gimtd. No
Intimation wan given th" Infantry that
they were to he attneked, but as other
expet'ltlons had encounteieri this ex
pel lence. Colonel Coin sen took It for
granted that there would be an attack
and so notldtd his command. The re
sult nus that scouts, sklimlshers,
flank 'I" and guaids were constantly on
th" nl"rt for 'yellow jackets"
Tho mnich had proceed' d nn hour
without a sign of the enemy and tho
boys were beginning to think that they
weie net to bo molested, when out of
th woods on a ele'uing a half mile to
the right one of the trooper's scouts
suddenly buist upon their view II"
had dlscovoitd himself unintentionally,
but quick as u Hash tinned about and
swung himself out of sight on the off
side of his hcise and dashed back Into
the woods.
He evldentlv hi ought up the main
holy of the lioopets loi fiom tills time
on the country seemed to be falily
alive with cavnltymon. Time and again
they v. eio encountPied laying for a
weak sunt in the line, but when thev
failed to Hnd what they thought might
be a vulin rablc spot they would dash
away like mad, to turn up later at some
other point of the column.
One persistent fellow dogged one tear
guard foi two miles and had a lit o
fun with the squadi, that were detailed
to cnptuie him. A corporal and tin en
or four men would secrete themseh'es
behind a house or In a (dump of bushes
waiting for him to come up. He would
ild" along with an easy air us If all un
suspicious of u tiap, but Just us tho In
fantrymer would bo preparing to spring
out upon him he would leap his hoise
oer a fence, dash through a Held and
disappear In the woods. A nillo fui-the-
on the ranie aggravating fellow
would bo fennel twilling leisurely along
tlio load icady to lepeat his dating es
capade. THREE PRISONERS.
Three of the troopers who were not
ns wily us the trailer fell Into our
hands. Two of thtm, the surgeon, Dr.
Ciinciar, and the veterlmrv. Dr. Roll,
werej sitnuised in n farm house by tho
Hnnkeis and taken into custody.
They found 'themselves cut off and
thought to nvold detection by stripping
their horses of their accoutrements,
turnlns thoin loose in tho farm yaid
nutl roti rating Into tho house. They
wero caught In tho act, however, and
weie put in ono of tho ambulances
under guard,
The third prisoner was Pm.i'o
Flala. of Troop C, the well-known
sketch jitist of the Brooklyn Eagle.
His hoise inn away with him and cai
iletj him plump against the jear guard.
He was heavily thrown and badly cut
up about the face. When he recovered
fioin the shock he was placed In the
ambulance with the two other pilson
er!. The advance guaid put two otheis
to hasty flight, one of them losing his
hat and the other his carbine. Adju
tant Coursen kept the hat us a trophj.
Lieutenant Corless, of the Twelfth,
who picked up the carbine, teturned it.
When the column arilved at riialn
Rrldge the troopeis weie found there
grazing their horses. Thev had ghen
up the light and admitted, when our
boys came up with them, thut the
"coal heavers" weie too much for them.
They complimented our defensive woik
In tho highest teims, but said It was
a dirty Spanish tilck to make prison
eis of suiseons and a wounded man.
The Hoopers lettirned to camp after
a tluee hours' rest.
The Pennsyhanlans continued up the
river nbout a mile, camping on a hUh
piece of ground on the .Maryland sido
of the Uver. about one hundred yaids
from the water.
ROUTE TRAVELED.
The route traveled was about eight
miles. Tho time made, four and one
half houis, was an hour and a half
better than any pievlous expedition
hud been credited with. The men were
all thoroughly tired, but not a single
case of piostratlon was reported. Tho
loads were narrow, hlllv and dusty,
but despite tho hard marching the boys
showed no great Inclination to rest
when a halt was made, few of them
taking tho trouble to throw off their
burdens, preferring to lean aunlnst a
fence or rest on their guns until the
order would como to move on again.
They were anxious to get to the river.
At lived at tho camp tho dog tents
weie pitched and then the men set to
making cofteo and pleparlng dinner.
It wns very plain, but It was eaten
with gteat relish. The remainder of
tho afternon was given over to bath
ing, such of the men who wero nut on
guaid or other camp duty spending all
their time in or about the water. The
evening programme includes band con
ceits and the like. The men will bu
sent to bed early so that they will bo
icfreshed for the march hack to camp,
which begins at o'clock tomoirow
morning. T. J. Duffy.
