Special from a Start Corrotpondent.
Camp Aleer, July 15. I liatl ft long
tnlk today with General Gobln on
the possibilities of the Third bri
gade getting Into action. Ho eaid
thnt whllo there was no ono more
anxious than he to get to the front, he
would not seek an assignment to ac
tive service until such tlmo rs ho felt
satisfied he had an army. "I havo a
body of men," he said, "who will make
as good soldiers as tho country can
turn out, they are progressing m sol
dierly discipline In ft most gratifying
manner, but until they are disciplined
It is not -my desire thnt they should
be put to the terrific test that only the
disciplined can hope to undergo with
out disastrous results."
A big percentage of the brigade,
nlniost half, he went on to suy, is
made up of recruits, many of whom
never as much as fired a blank car
tridge from a rllle. If there was ft
necudty of their Jumping Into action
It would put a different phase to the
case, but when no such condition ex
ists, it Is not only unwle but a wrons
to ask to have them accepted for work
at the front.
SHAFTER'S ORDER.
Incidentally attention might bo call
ed to the fact that General Shatter
very emphatically directed that none
of the volunteer regiments, with one
exception, the Second Massachusetts,
should be allowed In the firing line
that now surrounds Santiago, or that
was surrounding it when the last dis
patches were received. The Second
Massachusetts was fully equipped and
of the maximum strength when It first
took the Held. The other regiments,
or at least those witn which I am
familiar, were like the Thirteenth,
made up in a great part of recruits.
Their officers represented that they
were ready to go Into active service.
Possibly they were, but In the light of
no explanation of General Shatter's
order. It is fair to presume that the
offlcei s In question allowed their en
thusiasm to get the better of ti.elr
judgment nnd discretion. Two of the
leglments that went from this camp
were under lire In the early fighting
before Santiago. Neither of them is
the Second Massachusetts.
It is now very probable that the
Thirteenth will not move to Its new
camp site for a week at least. Con
trary to reports received at brigade
headquaiters the preparations at Crit
tenden farm for the reception of the
holdlers ure far from complete. In
stead of two wells being sunk and an
other under way, It developed, upon In
vestigation yesterday, that only one Is
completed and operations have not
oven begun on the second. Wednesday
morning when the Eighth regiment
bad its baggage wagons loaded und
companies formed for the march to
the new camp site an orderly came
dashing into camp with Instructions
from corps headquarters to postpone
the moving until further orders.
WELLS NOT SUNK.
At the eleventh hour, it appeared,
the discovery was made that the arte
sian well contractors had not pro
gressed with their work as far as
they hud promised and a halt was or
dered until It could be ascertained
whether or not there was sufficient
water to accommodate the needs of
the one regiment. A hurried investi
gation wns made, and when It was
found that one well was in operation
permission was given the Eighth to
proceed on Its journey.
Last night it was decided not to
send any more troops to the new camp
'until another well, at least, has been
sunk. The contractors, who were
called In consultation, said they would
be unable to begin work on the sec
ond well before Saturday or 'Monday.
It will require three days and possibly
a week to finish the work, so it can bo
seen that the remaining two regiments
of the brigade are destined to stay In
their present location for somo time to
come.
Owing to the inconvenience that will
ensue from having the brigade so wide
ly scattered there was talk last night
of ordering the Eighth to return, but
no action was taken. If it Is been that
the Thirteenth and Twelfth can not
be accommodated at the new camp for
a couple of weeks yet It Is not at nil
unlikely that the Eighth will bo
brought back here until such tlmo ns
nil three recimentB can be moved at
once.
SINKS CLOSED UP.
The Twelfth regiment's camp Is laid
out at right angles with the Thir
teenth's, the rear of Us second batta
lion facing the left of the Thirteenth's
headquarters and non-com streets.
With utter disregard for the health of
their neighbors the Twelfth people lo
cated their sinks along the edge of
the Thirteenth's camp. At flrbt little
or no annoyance resulted, but as time
woie on the sinks became a. nuisance
nnd It was suggested to Colonel Coryell
that he have them moved to somo
other part of his camp. Ho said ho
would, but ho didn't. Complaints were
made time and again, but the only re
sult was a promise to attend to the
matter In the morning. Lately thu
nuisance became positively unbearable
nnd a demand wns made for their re
moval. The demand was ns Ineffectual
as the preceding complaints, requests
nnd suggestions.
Last Monday morning the Third bri
gade went nway on a practice march.
It so happened that Lieutenant Colonel
Mattes, of the Thirteenth, was appoint
ed corps officer of the duy on tlio pre
vious evening to serve twenty-four
hours. Ono of the duties of the olllco
Is to abate all nuisances, and tho of
ficer can do that same summarily If
he so sees fit. Colonel Mattes caw lit
to abate the Twelfth's sink nuUaive,
and he proceeded to do it foithwlth.
First he went to the officer left In
charge of the Twelfth's camp, Lieu
tenant Staler, of Compuny D, and
formally notified him that tho sinks
In question were a nuisance in tho
opinion of the corps officer of the day,
and consequently would liuvo to bo re
moved. Lieutenant Staler thought to
stand off Colonel Mattes until Colonol
Coryell would return, by pleading that
be did not have any men on hnnd, ex
cept those left behind as guards, and
funseouetlv could not obey the direc
tions. Colonel Mattes said if that was
the only trouble It could be easily
overcome, and, to the great chagrin of
Twelfth's lieutenant, Colonel Mattes
said he would send him somo men,
and, suiting the action to the word,
ordered a detail from tho corps' fatigue
squad to fill In the slnkfl, remove their
coverings and police the grounds,
WERE VERY ANGRY.
When tho Twelfth got back from the
practice march and learned what had
been done, It wns exceeding wroth, and
Its commander threatened all manner
of mischief.
Colonel Coryell has since cooled
down. The cooling process began
when, In answer to his letter, ho re
ceived word from corps headquarters
that Colonel Mattes had acted" with
the knowledge of headquarters, and
that his work was afterwards official
ly upproved. The Thirteenth regrets
that it has gotten Into bad odor with
Its neighbors from down tho state, but
it consoles itself with the reflection
that between two odors It choso the
lesser.
The Sixth Pennsylvania, recruited
from the counties about Philadelphia,
and from the city proper, Is also hav
ing its troubles. Fourth of July, It will
be remembered, about 200 of the regi
ment had to be rounded up by a bat
talion of Infantry nnd troop of cavalry
and taken back Into their camp. Col
onol Schall ran up to his home In Phil
adelphia to spend tho Fourth, leaving
tjie regiment In charge of Lieutenant
Colonel Shcnton. Wishing to be liberal
with the men, out of regard for tho day,
Colonel Shenton Intimated to the cap
tains of the different companies that
there would be bub little restrictions
placed on the men that day, and If
any of them cared to go to town the
permission would not bo difficult to
gain.
Whether It was that the captain mis
quoted the lieutenant colonel or that
the men concluded to tnke tho proverb
ial thirty-five Inches has not developed,
but bo that as It maj, some two hun
dred or more of the men started out
from the camp In n body for Wash
ington. When they reached tho pike
leading to Falls Church they encount
ered the corps commander driving to
wards camp. He ordered them to re
turn, after making his identity known,
but they told him to go to. Then he
summoned the battalion of infantry
and troop of cavalry nnd ordered that
they bo pursued and placed under ar
rest. PRISONERS REVOLTED.
When Colonel Schall returned he
placed 157 of the offenders under guard
with a penalty of ten days of police
duty. Last Tuesday the prisoners were
put at hautboy work nnd refused to
perform tho task. Colonel Schall or
dered them back into confinement and
put a strong guard about them, In
tending to keep them In prison on short
fare until they gave In. Last night
they revolted, broke out of the guard
house and started on a march through
the camp, bearing red flags, shouting
nnd curslns nnd carrying on In gen
eral in the most riotous way. They
even went so far as to parade past
General Graham's headquarters shout
ing taunts and acting In a most dis
respectful manner.
Once more a guard was sent to cor
ral them nnd until late In the night the
camp and its surroundings were being
scoured for the mutinous crowd. One
gang of them which eluded the guard
came Into the Thirteenth's enmp and
began to raise ruction. Before they
bad proceeded far, however, a body of
the pursuers arrived and swooped
down on them. A number were cap
tured, but the most of them took to
their heels nnd the last seen of them
they were heading for the woods with
the provost guard giving chase. When
they are again rounded up it is likely
they will be called upon to face a court
martial and If the leaders can be picked
out they will be made to feel the se
verity of army law. Just what incites
the mutinous spirit of the men can not
be explained. They are not toughs by
any means, and many of them nre old
guardsmen connected with exemplary
companies.
It Is not because of any unpopularity
of the officers, for Colonel Schall Is
fairly revered by his men and Lieuten
ant Colonel Shenton, who resigned be
cause of the disgrace which the first
outbreak brought upon him, is likely
to be reinstated through a petition from
the men of the regiment asking him
to request permission to withdraw his
resignation and praying General Gobln
to grant the request should Colonel
Shenton be prevailed upon to make It.
From all appearance It Is simply a
case of downright mischievous deviltry.

cidentally stabbed himself In the leg
Wednesday. He was carrying his bay

rising from a reclining position the
point of it caught him In the left leg
Just above the knee entering tho flesh
for nearly an Inch. Surgeon 'Ban
chard dressed the wound In the regi
mental hospital and allowed him to
go to his tent, considering the case
too trlval to send to the division hos

and on the way to and fro, directing
that hereafter captains recommend for

vate Greenburg, of Company A, has

One of the offlcerj of the Thirteenth
today received from home a copy of
Tuesday's Tribune with a pencil mark
around a paragraph commenting on
General Gobln's aversion to pomposity
and mentioning ho;v refreshing was his
conduct "after a two months' experi
ence with tho gold-tassel fellows." A
person at a distance might with a
straining effort Infer thnt the- para
graph was meant to apply locally, but
no such Inference would bo possible
here, where all that was said of Gen
eral Gobln' democracy would unre
setvcdly be applied to the former com
mander of the Third brigade nnd his
stnf.'. No one here saw even the possi
bility of misinterpreting tho paragraph
until the marked paper was passed
around and Joked about. Admitting
the possibility of the urticle being mis
construed, it might not be amiss to say
dliect that the former brigade officers
are not in the category thnt was In
cluded in ''gold-tassel fellows."

ECHOES OP THE WAR.
Th following letter has been received
by Michael O'Boylc, of Archbald, from
WoKer Burke, of that place, who Is on
board the United States steamship Pom
ppy. The lotter Is as follows:
U. S. S. Pompey.
Cardenas, Cuba, July 3. 1S98.
Friend Michael I received your letter
at the Brooklyn navy yard and was glad
to hear trom home. We left the yard
the next day for Lambert's Point and
took on supplies for tho fleet. Then wc
sailed for Key West, a journey of live
days. Ourcaptaln was 111, and he died Just
as we sighted the Keys. At Key West wn
hurled him with all military honors, and
I had the honor of being one of the pall
bearers. Our next captain, Mr, Miller,
came on board June 7, then we Imme
diately proceeded to Havana, reported to
the commander-in-chief of squadron, nnd
were stutloncd at Cardenas with orders
to Intercept every vessel that hove In
slcht.
Now we have lots of excitement chas
ing ships nnd bringing them to with a
gun or two: In order to find out the nn
turn of their cargo and where they are
bound for. I havo not seen a dally paper
since wo left New York, so I do not know
what Is going on In the world. When
you write I want about sixteen pages of
news not war news for wo hear nothing
elfco but that here. The Mangrove is go
ing to Key West today. Sho will take,
this letter, for this Is the only chanco
wo have to send mall. We aro In luck
when wo see a vessel going to or coming
from Key West. Well, good-bye I Re
member me to my friends nnd give my
love to my family. Walter Burke.
William P. Williams, son of W. J.
Williams, of Wllkes-Uarre. nnd n nephew
of Congressman Morgan II, Williams, is
a gunner at one of the 13-Inch kuiih In
the forward turret of tho battleship
Indiana and has sent home an Interest
ing letter of tho part tho Indiana took
In tho destruction of Cervera'u fleet. He
says:
"Sunday was the day of nil days.
About 10 In the morning on July 3. the
Spanish fleet showed their notes out of
tho harbor. We were the first to see
them und we didn't do a thing to them.
They are burning yet. We havn the
credit of three of them, ono cruiser and
two torpedo boats. Millions of dollars
went up In smokp, We were hit only
once and no damage wns done. It was
tho greatest battle ever known. The
monitor battle watn't in It with this one.
"We have nearly 300 prisoners on tins
ship. We saved some with arms und
some with legs off. and somo were shot
all to pieces. Each Spanish boat had
about 700 men on board. It was a hor
rible sight to see dead and dying men
on thu decks and tho ship on tire, with
marines In tho uutex- i '-- w.
have had a great deal of hardship, but
we can stand It all for such a victory.
They say that Dewoy's men got S00
npleco for the fight at Manila. It that
is truo then wo should get twlco that
much. Thero was only ono man killed
and six wero wounded. About 1,600 Span
lards wcro token prisoners. Tho remaind
er wero kilted or drowned. It wns a hard
Bight to witness. Wo put out life boats
nil night In the hopo of saving some un
fortunates and I was In one of tho boats.
I fancy that I can yet hear the groans
of tho dying. This will bo our last light
here. Wo will mako a run up to tho
town and help tho army. Tho next plnco
Is Porto Rico, but that will be easy. Wo
will havo no strong fleet to run up
against. Everything will como our way
from now on. I will sleep In my ham
mock for tho llrst tlmo In two weeks."
K. D. Nichols, of Wllkcs-Barrc. has
nrrived homo from Washington, whero
he went with a commltteo composed of
prominent men to petition President Mc-
Klnley to abolish the canteens In the
United States army. The president grant-
cu tins committee a hearing, sold Mr.
Nichols, and on Thursday forenoon I met
tho other two committeemen In Wash
ington nnd wo proceeded to tho white
house. Tho president wus closeted with
tho secretary of war, secretary of the
navy nnd adjutant general, and for that
tcason wc wero dtlained about ono hour.
We were finally ushered Into tho presence
of the president und tho secretary of war,
nnd wero greeted ery coidlally by the
president and Socretary Alger. We pre
sented the matter nnd the resolutions to
the president, nnd both ho nnd tho secre
tary of war gave us courteous and atten
tive hearing, Tho president in his reply
said that he nnd tho secretary of war
wcro giving the quesTlon very serious at
tention, with tho Idea of minimizing or
destroying tho use of alcohol In tho nrmy.
and that they had sent for General
Brooke, of Camp Thomas, Chlckamaur.
to consult with him in regard to the mat
ter. What he raid wo look upon as bo
Ing words of encouragement to the oppo
nents of the army canteen. Tho president
looks remarkably well better than one
would supposo In these trying times."
In view of tho excellent opportunity
now presented by the had condition of
thn Cuban roads, tho quartermaster's de
partment has decided to try a wagon spe
cially designed for bad loads that has
been urged upon the notice of tho au
thorities. This vehicle Is produced In a
western factory and has been used with
success of several years on farms of tho
west and middle west. Tho wheels nra
low nnd made of three thicknesses of
two-Inch rak, thus presenting a running
race six Inches bread. Tho front axle Is
shorter thun the rear one, so that the
tread of tho front wheels comes Inside
that of the r.nr v heels. Through this
devlco the total running surface of the
wngon Is 2t Inches, u feature that will
commend Itself nt once to unono who
has driven over heavy reads Two hun
dred uT these wagons are now at Tamp.i.
ready for trui tportatlon to Cuba,. If
the trial proves successful, a large
weight will be taken from tho minds of
tho transportation authorities, for one
of the most difficult problems In nrmy
movements Is the forwarding of supplies.
The trouble Is Immeasurably Increased
by muddy roads, such as now are found
In Cuba.
The wisdom of Chief Engineer Melville
In fitting out a lepalr shop for use In the
squadron oft Cuba Is shown In nearly nil
letters that como from the officers on the
station. Already a dozen war vessels
have been In the Vulcan's hands for ono
cause and another, which. If the repair
ship had not been near, would havo ne
cessitated a tilp to the mainland or .ver-
vlce In crippled condition. Tho tihcrui
ness of the Vulcan has not been limited
to steam engineering repairs, but has
extended as well to construction and ord
nance work. Sho has remedied the dam
age to the hull of Commodoro Watson's
flagship, the Newark, caused by collision
with the Dolphin, and, among other odd
Jobs, lwjshafts fot six-Inch gunmounts,
essential to the use of those weapons,
have been made in her shops. The Vul
can has blacksmlthlng, machine shop,
boiler making and other complete outfits
aboard that permit work of any reason
able magnitude to be undertaken su
perior to the capacity of shops at many
small ports and surpassed alotle by tho
larger navy yards.
Ono of the most interesting and Im
portant places In Chlckamauga Is tho
great bakery which supplies bread for
General Brooke's army. This bakery is
the largest of Its kind In the world. Of
course there aro hundreds of bakeries
all over tho country that are larger, but
none of this slzo where bread is baked
exclusively. An enormous quantity of
flour Is consumed In a day. At present
over 50,000 loaves, or rations, as they
aro termed, uro turned out every twenty
four hours. Tho bakery Is operated
night and day to meet the demand. Ono
force goes on at 12 o'clock noon and
works until midnight, when tney are re
lieved by the second shift. About 200
barrels of flour nre used at the bakery
every twenty-four hours. Much of tho
work Is done by machinery but the
greater part of it Is done by band. Over
100 persons are employed at the bakery.
Colonel Dougherty, of the Ninth regi
ment, has recommended tho following to
Governor Hastings for appointment:
Robert Mercur. of Wllkes-Uarre, to be
captain of Company L. Ninth regiment;
Second Lieutenant Connelly, of Company
C, Plttston, to bo llrst lieutenant of
Company L: First Sergeant Holmes, of
Company C. to (111 vacancy caused by
promotion of Lieutenant Connelly. Tho
following ptomotions have been made In
Colonel Dougherty's command: Second
Lieutenant Connelly. Company C, has
been made first lieutenant In Company
L; Second Lieutenant Robert S. Mercur,
battalion adjutant, who has been serv
ing on the staff of General Wiley, has
been made acting captain of Company
L; Corporal A, A. Mitchell, Company D,
has been made second lieutenant of Com
pany K.
Ueutenant George Hoffman, of tho
United Slates Engineer corps, a native
and former resident of Wllkes-Barrc, Is
with the Fifth army corps at Santiago,
having landed thero with the first expe
dlton. Lieutenant Hoffman has a ltrge
number of friends in Wllkes-Barrc, hav
ing been emplojed for several years as
civil engineer and surveyor with Mr.
Hturdevunt. He won an entrance to
West Point by competitive examination
in 1S81 and graduated three years ago
at the head of tho class, His chief duty
In Cuba Is tho surveying of military roaas
and the laying out of plans for fortinca
tlon nnd battery posit lens. He ulso us
