OOSSIP OF THE CAMP.
Special from a Staff Correspondent.
Camp Alger, Va July 7. The camp
yesterday was a veritable military
Sleepy Hollow. Not n sound was
heard, not a man moved abroad on
the drill ground. An air of perfect
lethargy enveloped the whole place,
and one would have suspected it of
being a summer encampment on a
large scale rather than the tent and
drill grounds of the Second corps of
the Volunteer Army of the United
Plates in a time of war. This quiet
ness, this reign of a tired military feel
In?; was caused by a rain storm whlcn
entirely prevented the morning drills.
It clared up Immediately after.
It Is a peculiar coincidence, with a
tinge of Irony about It and a mockery
of human calculations, that the same
day on which heavy drills were dis
continued on account of the excessive
lent, by an order from corps liea.i-
lUarters, the weather became milder.
A drop in the temperature to 70 de
grees is not of usual occurrence.
After much delay and hard work on
the part of the quartermaster's de
partment, the long desired has at last
occurred. Yesterday afternoon Lieu
tenant II. H. Cox and Clerk Wormser
vore busily occupied In Issuing to the
several companies of the Thirteenth
the last requisitions, consisting of
trousers, blouses, leggings and cam
paign hats. This practically finishes
the work of the department in this
respect. Thirteen boxes tilled with
248 new rifles were also received from
the Springfield arsenal, and these will
be Issued without delay to those who
liave been so far without arms, or
whose pieces were condemned at In
spection by Lieutenant Cox. There Is
no little satisfaction felt among the
members of the regiment that all are
finally equipped, and that In all re
spects It Is now In good condition for
any emergency.
The song of the fakir In this place
nt present is as complete and as abso
lute as anything could possibly be
For the past few days Uncle Sam's
paymasters have been circulating
from one regiment to the other, and
In their wake has followed every kind
of ii fakir, ancient or modern, who
ever tried to fleece unsuspecting hu
manity. The Thirteenth has not been
an exception. The boys were paid to
day and were consequently happy, hut
no sooner had the paymaster turned up
at headquarters than these up-to-date
sharks began to scour the company
Mreets, selllnir all kln,l f .. ....
nut unnecessary devices anything
which would attract the eve, capti
vate the imagination and lighten the
purse.
The latest specimen to appear is the
identification badge" llend, who vends
n small badge of aluminum to be worn
around the neck and which contains
the name, company, regiment and home
address of the wearer. Many peculiar
arguments were used to prospective
purchasers why these badges should
be worn, the most equivocal and Quix
otic of all being that they would be of
great value to a person In case he
should be hurt or killed. These sharks
nre specially obnoxious around pay
days, which they time with perfect ac
curacy. The receipt of their month's pay has
put the boys In un extra happy frame
of mind, nnd many of them for supper
enjoyed the luxury of milk, fried eggs,
vegetables and canned goods. This is
destined to be the limit of the Jolllfl
cation, as the canteen Is closed tighter
thnn an Egyptian mausoleum.
A sllsht fire which was started in
Lieutenant Berry's tent, of Company
B. furnished the chief and, In fact, only
recent excitement. A bottle of oil or
of acid was spilled nnd caught fire by
coming In contact with n lighted cigar
or match. The bluze was quickly ex
tinguished. Private S. Klstler. formerly of Q
but now attached to division hospital,
left today on a furlough for the home
of his parents at Great Rend, Susque
hanna county.
The members of Company F are on
the verge of a serious kick against
their rations. They object to what
they are getting, and the tlmo and
manner In which It Is served to them.
Much discontent Is prevalent among
the boys no a consequence, but, very
likely, the trouble will soon be rem
edied, William and David Rlrtlcy, of tho
North LTuI, who have been visiting
Private Joseph B. Blrtlcy, of II, re
turned home this afternoon highly
gratified with their camp experiences.

ECHOES OF THE WAR.
I lobar! Jones, yrrtmun on the nuxllln.'y
cruiser SI. I'.iul, was at his home In Ring
hamton while the St. Paul was In New
York the last few days. To a Ulnghnm
Ion Republican man Jones said that It
has so happened that each tlmo the St.
Paul hns taken an active part in 'ho
melee It has born his watch off. so that
all that he bad to do was lo sland at
quarters on deck and watch the fun.
When the St. Paul had her mix-up with
the torpedo boat destroyer Terror and
the Isabella II In front of San Juan the
oilier day he said that the nearest that
tboy were able to get to tho enemy was
about six miles, and It was at that dis
place that the 3-liuii shell from the St,
Paul played havoc with the Internal ar
rangements of the Terror. The nearest
that the Standards could get their shois
to the St. Paul, he said, was about three
quarters of a mile In the tirM smashing
of the works In Guantnnamo harbor tho
St. Paul was more In the llilok of It, hav
ing a position only about l.tiOO yards In
the rear of Ihe other warships, but the
vessel was noi hit. although Ihe shells
came all around her. When asked con
cerning the effect ihat the firing of tho
guns has upon the men on board, .Mr.
Jones said that for the first few times
It seemed as If a fellows ears were being
hammered to pieces, but that a person
soon gets used to It so that he does not
mind. The ship Itsellf Is not jarred very
much, nor does n person directly beneath
the guns feel the shock very badly.
When the Vesuvius first tried her hand
at "throwing earthquakes" at Mirro
castle, the St. Paul stood out about ten
miles from the shore, but the action of
the "earthquaker" could be easily seen,
Mr. Jones said: "11 looked as If the little
vessel was fastened to a string and every
lime nfier she had thrown a charge cf
gun cotton tln string was used to pull ner
back, so rapid were her movements. Sha
dodged around like a man lighting, so
that the enemy's guns could not get her
rnnge, and the machinery of the vessel !s
so arranged that she can bo handled and
leversed with the greatest rapidity. All
that we could see was that sho would
dart In as close as possible toward the
fort, and when she bad reached a certain
point she would remain stationary for a
few seconds and we could tell that she
was sending In another chaige, ulthough
of course wo could not bear anything. A
moment later we could see a great clo it
of dust from some X'art of the hillside
that looked as If It might bet an earth
quake, and then the vessel "would be
turned and coming out again. After a
few seconds we could hear the roar of
the explosion. After she was through
with her work the St. Paul stood In closer
to shore, and we were able to see whero
the gun cotton charges had torn great
holes In the hillside and the fort. One
corner of the fort was entirely lorn
away, and l am surprised to learn that
the guns from there are still at work, us
the dispatches say Is the case."
George Douglass, formerly of WilU.'S
Uarre, was seriously injured Kriday while
storming the trenches before Santiago.
He Is only 19 years old, hut comes from a
family that has distinguished Itself on
the field of battle. He was Injured by
being run over by a heavy cannon. Young
Douglass Is a son of Mrs. Henry Doug
lass, who Is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
S. K. Hossard, of 11 South River street,
Wllkes-Harre. Since tho news of her
bon's Injuries reached her she has been
confined to her renin from shock, llo Is
a member of the Tenth United States In
fantry. The explain of tho company of
which ho was a member, John Drum, was
killed in tho battle. Tho young soldier's
father, Henry Douglass, was In the mili
tary servlco for forty-eight years and
solved for many years as colpnel of tin
regiment of which his son Is n member.
Ho was a graduate of West Point and
had an enviable record as a fighter.
Douglaps was at school at Suspension
Bridge, N. Y.. when the war broke out
and asked his mother's consent to go to
the front. She could not hold a deaf oar
to her son's entreaties. Ills regiment
wns one of the first to embark for Cuba.
Beforo leaving Tuinpa Captain Drum, wha
Is reported killed, wrote Mrs, Douglass
telling her tl at her son would bo properly

The only I'lllt to lake with liuod't SarupirllU,
cruiser Brooklyn, In n Icttor to his father,
who resides nt Blnghnmton, N. Y., under
date of Juno 23, says: "I don't think
there Is much to fear from climate. I
havo been to Garcla's camp and think
1 could stand thu climate nil right; In
fact, rather like It. I trust 1 may como
out of It alt right, but each tlmo am
looking to getting smashed. A shell
seems to tear things up pretty generally
wherever It hits. The operations hero
would not surprise mo If they were long
drawn out. Having tho powerful ships In
tho harbor will restrict tho army's move
ments wherever they can bring tho guns
to bear. No troops can stand tho fire
from ships, It may be that thu Spaniards
will break sooner than I expect. I wish
It had been possible to have forced the
entrance, but even In peace largo vessels
hnve great difficulty In entering. The
channel Is narrow and crooked, a cleft In
tho rocks, We coal ships at sea In sight
of the Spanlnrds, and nt night close In
nnd one battleship stands up to tho en
trance and uses a search light. Thcro Is
great activity on the batteries today."
F. E. Courtrlght, of this city, who Is
on the auxiliary cruiser St. Paul, In a
letter to his father, Thomas G. Court
right, of C10 Marlon street, announces
that Charles Miller was killed during the
fighting at Guaiitanauio bay. Miller was
In this city with Courtrlght on a furlough
a few days after war was declared. Of
the Cubans he writes: "I saw sixty Cu
bans that tho Marblehead took from tho
shoro and. Pop, they wer most all naked.
They were the worst looking poor devils
I ever saw. We gnve them new clothes
and guns, but they do not know how to
use the rifles nnd nfter they shoot ono
round they drop the gun and take their
knives to start In. I saw boys that wero
not over 12 years old In the Cuban army,
1 hnve a piece of the cable that was cut
by the United States cruiser Marblehead.
It Is the ninln one from Havana to Ma
drid. 1 will send you a piece for a keep
sake. There wero six marines killed
when they cut It."
In the United States regular army
from this city arc four brave men who
have won distinction for their work.
