Lieutenant Thomas Murphy, of Com pany C, nnd Private Claienco Morgan and Charles M. Lent of Company H Wcro jfolsonod by Drinking Milk They Are Now Entirely Out of Danger Author ities of War Depaitment Are Bald to Bo Looking for a Now Camp fcite May Eeturn to Mt. Gretna. Special from a Stntt Corrervonilcnt. Camp Alger, Dinni Lorliif?, Vn Aur. 1. The blf? parailu that wan to take place In Washington nct Salmduy lias been postponed for a week. Gen eral Graham eays tliat after consulting with the division comnmiulcis the con clusion wus reached that It would bu best to elve the troops h practice march and review befote p.iradltiB them before the president nnd cabinet. 'Accordingly a practice affair will take place this week and the presidential review on the succeeding Siturdny. Lieutenant Tliomni Munh, of Company C, and Privates Clarence Morgan and Chailes SI. Lent, of Com pany II, were poisoned lat night by drinking milk sold at a sutler's shack in Dunn Lorlng. Tor the greater part of the night they suffered exciuclating pain and violent retchings, lint to wards morning emetics and nntldotos relieved them und today they aie rest ing quietly. The two Company H men diank the milk at the same time and before they could get back to camp were overcome and had to be assisted to the horpltal. 'While tliry were un der treatment a messenger raine to tho hospital with word that Lieuten ant Murphy had been seized with a violent fit of vomiting and was then piostrated in his tent. lie, too, had drank milk at tho Dunn Lot Ins "Hand only a little while previous. Latet in vestigation discovered that two of the children of the sutler had also been attacked with vomiting soon after drinking of the milk from a nev ly opened can. Major Keller and Lieu tenant Manchard visited the place early this morning and secured sam ples of tho milk for the purpose of analyzing It. The sutler was dliected to sell no more milk until further or ders. MOVIXO THH CAMP. It would appear from repoits leak, lng out at corps headquaiters that the military end of tho coips contemplates overriding the opinions and wishes ot Chief Surgeon Glrard nnd his medi cal abettors. Colonel Gltaid, in the face of olllclal statements trom sub ordinate burgeons to the contrary, maintained that the site of Camp Al ger was In nowise unhealthy. Com plaints continued to come In, but Gli ard continued to maintain that tho rump was health y. Two big bairack buildings woio opened up as annexes to the geneial hospital at Fort Mer, but still Glrard held that the careless ness of the men and not the unhealth fulness of the camp was to blame. The dally procession of ambulances to Fort Myer nnd undertaker wagons fiom there belled Glrard's statements. Something had to be done to save the corps from possible annihilation and the mcdltal depaitment wasn't doing that something. The military arm re luctantly, but of a necessity, decided tn Intel fere. Tho muttei was laid befoio Secretary Alger. Without losing a minute's time he proceeded to do the only sane thing to be done tinder the circumstances move the camp. Just what his plans are is not known, but It is believed that ho contemplates sending the troops to the soashoie or some north ern camping place. An Associated Pices dispatch yesterday would Indi cate that there Is a probability of the Pennsylvania troops being nt back to Mt, Gretna. Tho Item stated that Colonel Moore. Major Helstand and Dr. Smart, guMrnment commissioners, ac companied by a party of Pennsjlva nla Ralhond officials visited Mt. Gutna and MIddletown with a view of select ing a camp ground for the Pennsyl vania volunteeiH now at Camp Alger. Dr. Smart is likely the "Surgeon Major Smart" vho acted as special leprcsen tatlvp of Secietaiy Alger locently In innklnir an Inspection of Camp Alger, and upon whopp lccomnundatlon the rirst dllsIon was moved to Dunn Lor lng. NEW CARES OF PEVEIL Twenty-two new cases of Uphold ai d twenty-two suspected cases were vrs terday's record. The Thirteenth had one new case today, Pi Hate Cokolj, of (Company G, being sent to the division hospital as a suspect. Seigeant Kelper, the only one of the Thliteenth's pa tients who Is ciltlcally ill, legalned consciousness last evening nnd was able to reLOgnlze his wife and brother and sister, who came on in lesponse to telegrams sasing that he was not ex pected to live. Today there aie good hopes of his recocij. That there Is a movement afoot among ceitatn of tho regiments to pa rade their grlevcnces by quitting camp In a body is no longer a matter of tu mor. Corps headquarters has bpen np pralscd of the matter nnd has evident ly found caube for apprehension for nn Intimation was iudliectly given out that the regimental olllcets would be called to account It the outbreak oc curred. The Sixth Pennsjlvanla la charged with being at the head of the Insurrection. Their previous escapades would lend color to this statement It color was needed, but It Isn't. They freely boast that they aro the leaders In the plot, and that as soon as they get their pay they will decamp. Wheth er or not they will Induce any consid erable number from other regiments to accompany them Is causing much uneasiness among the officers. There are some In tho Thirteenth who vow they will be In the outbreak, but they are probably only blustering. Four new corporals were appointed today. In Company G, Captain Mc Causland named Ptivates Joseph E. Barney, Charles E Pesscll and D. U. Tlngley, and In Company F, Captain Fellows named Ptlvato John M. Thro. Another Company F corporal Is to be appointed In a few days, Charles E. Lattge, tho new cornet player for Miles' band, nrrlved today nnd was nsslgned to Captain Smith's Company E. Tho non-coms of Company E have organized a mess of their own. Here after they will oat npart ftom tho company In a small tent and will be perved by a chef Impotted ftom Wash ington. . Privates William Burns, Llewellyn Morgan?, Charles M. Clarke and David Evan, of Company H, will go home tomorrow on furloughs. Privates Pnow, Tlngley and Jonta, of Company O, returned to camp yesterday. Pri vates Franklin k and Tevvksbuty und Musician UarncsV of Company G, be gan a. week's furlough today. Privates Edward Phillips, Floyd Hazletlno nnd Jny S. Cobb, of Company V, went home last night. Private David 11. Iiavls, of Company 1J, baa returned, and tomorrow Privates John T. Coke ly, Lewis Reese nnd Peter Zang, Jr., of Company B, go homo for a week. Tho new Instruments for tho band arrived today. They aro of a very fine quality ns may be Judged when it Is stated that a piccolo Is billed ut t"G; a bass horn ut $112, nnd cornets at $100 uplece. Under a modification of the stringent order governing tho uniform of men when out of tamp it Is not compulsory any longer to wear blouses except when going to Washington. The uni form blue Bhlrt Is, however. Insisted upon. Captain Fellows, of Company r, Is brigade officer of tho day; Lieutenant Hatrlngton, of Company G, Is regimen tal otilcer of the day, und Lieutenant David J. Davis, of Company F, com mnnder of the guard. Captain McCnusland Is Improving In health dally and now feels that he will not be compelled to take a sick leave to recuperate. The Thirteenth Is short on line offi cers Just at piesent. Lieutenants Ber ry and Huff ato down with typhoid. Lieutenant Burkhouse Is homo on slck lcave. Lieutenant Murphy Is confliifd to his tent with slcknes resulting ftom drlnklnif Infected milk. Lieutenant Inglls, of Company D, Is at btlgade headquarters, acting as an aide f) Gen eral Goblti and Lieutenant Foote, of the same company, Is on u leave of absence. Lieutenant Crlsman, of Com piny G, h permanently detailed ut totps headquarters as miperlntendont ot the hospital property One Inttnl lon Icing out on provost Jury all the canin woik devolve upon the other battalion and ns may be believed the rflleeis are kept busy. At battalion drcrs parade a few nights since the unusual spectacle was seen of a ser geant leading the parade In review. The distinction fell upon Flist Ser geant William Freeman, of Company F, tho senior sergeant of the battalion. T. J. Duffy. ECHOES OF THE WAR. The rifth teglnient of Pennsylvania olunteers, which a week ago was for the second tlmn oideiod from Chlcku mausa to the fiont and after leaving camp was ordeted back anoVunother regiment sent in its stead is badly demoralised. Ever since It was turn ed back from Bossville la3t Wednesday the men have been mad, and not half of them have shown up vet. At roll call in one or two companies theif were only five or sK men pteRent to answer to their names. An officer of General Wade's staff said this morn ing that If ho "was Colonel Culver he would draw tho regiment up In line, read tho tlol net, usk each man who Intended to do his dutv to step tlnep paces forwaid, nnd those who did not intend to stop three pacs backwatd. Then," said ho, "when the men heard the sentence relating to death they would all step forward." Thoe pres ent nodded assent, and thought this would be the most effective way of quelling the Insubordination. runeral services in memory of Wil liam r.

Piothonotary Copeland lecelved jes tejday fiom Judge Puidy, of Hones dale, an opinion on the exceptions lalsed in the equity suit of Joseph Fel lows against Cornelius Smith and J. Stanley Smith. The opinion dismisses the exceptions. Judge Puidy says that on a levlew of the questions raised l the excep tions he finds no reason for changing his answer either to the plaintiff's re quest for findings of fact or legal con clusions.

ENGINEERS ARE HIGHLY PLEASED ORDERS TO GO TO PORTO RICO RECEIVED WITH CHEERS. Unless the Dliectlons Now In Forco aie Countermanded the First Reg iment will Leave Camp Townsend, at .f eekskill, on Wednesday Morn ing; nnd Embara for Porto Rico. Drills the Men Have Been Put Through Scorch Made at the Rlflo Matches. Under date of July 31, A. E. Vorhis, The Tribune's coricspondcnt with the Kit st Regiment of Volunteer Engin eers, writes ns follows fiom Camp Townsend nt I'cek3klll, N. Y : "At laBt orders have been received to move, and unless they are counter manded we will leave Camp Towns end on Wednesday morning next, la boat from Roahook landing, about one mile from enrnp. The news to strike camp was lecelved on Triday night, when Colonel Grllun t etui nod from Washington, with cheer upon cheer by tho ofllceis and men of the regiment. Tho oi deis were for the whole regi ment, while it had been expected that only the Kirst battalion would be called. I have pt to hear one man say thut he is not ready and anxious to go, and the oianton contingent, which embiaces bojs fiom thiee counties, are more than anxious. 'Tor tho past week the regiment has been kept busv pieparlng for the front. Drills in engineering, movements used in front of enemy taking piccedcnce. In the pnglneerlng dillls, the men wcie detailed to building breastworks, sus pension bUdges, pontoons, or fill up streams, from the most available ma terial. Onhlon-maklng Is another fea ture of the work. They aie built of green branches of trees or bushes nnd aie about three by six feet in height, twenty-one Inches in diameter, and when used are placed In front of a man. Tho earth Is thrown from the front to the Inside of the gabion They are built by placing first upright blanches of sufficient strength to sup port the basket, and then from tho smaller branches or twigs you weave a basket that Is solid and will hold the earth. A bullet will" not penetiate one of these when built conectly and filled with earth BRIDCE-BUILDINO. "The suspension bildge Is made from material gotten In the same manner. It can be constructed In a shorter time If rope Is available, but if not, then poles from smnll trees aie lashed to gether and thiown ncross. The foot walk consists of the same material. When In shape the bridge Is solid and will hold a goodly number of men at one time. "Another event that occasioned al most as much Joy as the ordeis to move was the arrival of the paymaster on Satuiday morning. Pay lolls weie signed duiing that clay and evening, and this moinlng at S 40 wo were must eied for paj, I. e., tho roll of the legl ment was called on the parade gtound, nnd we will receive our money on Mon day. "Tho regiment has also been Indulg ing in title- practice during the past week at 200 ards, each man had live shots and was allowed no trial shot. The fiist battalion has completed Its bcoie, and the aveiage on a target of a possible 25 is 1". It would be-of no Inteiest to glvo the individual score of the battalion, therefoie, In an Item to follow, I will note tho coie of the boys fiom jour vicinity. Seigeant Rock ford, of ("ompanv G, made a possible Jl nnd Corpoial Miller, Company P, 21. Both nie fiom the regulais, and Coipoial Miller has challenged Her gennt Roekfoid for a match which will piobably come oft at Porto Rico. "The ilrot death at camp occuned on Satuiday morning. Private John Hartnett, Company L, wliobe home was at Troy, N. Y., was taken with a cold a week bctoie and conllned to the hos pital. The best of caie was taken of him nnd ho seemed to be getting better until on Ktlday morning symptoms of pneumonia developed, nnd he was Im mediately sent by ambulance to the Helping Ilnnd hospital at Peekskill, wheie he died at 10 o'clock Satuiday morning. Private Haitnett was 31 veais of ago, single and a bright, in telligent and worthy soldier of the regiment. A detail of sixteen men from his company, nil Troy bojs, were sent to Peekskill and escorted the re mains to tho depot, where they were placed In charge of a brother and ship ped home. He was enlisted at Troy on July 1 by Captain Smith, of Com pany D, and was mustcied Into the service In Compnny L, July S. His comrades feel veiy deeply his sudden demise." CAMP NOTES. Oeoigp Buttcrfleld, of Now York city, Is visiting his father today, who Is a prlvute In Company 1. James Conncry, of foot ball fame, Is happy over the arrival of a box of goodies fiom ft lends on the South Side. It Is needless to say that his ft lends lecelved a piece of It. Jim sas "Spur" Is O. K. Thomas Morrln, of Company H, who Is one of the South Side bos, Is happy with his position as engineer at the bath house. When he goes to Porto Rico ho may have something better AI Bartz Is delighted with his box from home, nnd would be perfectly sat isfied If he had his bike with him Evun r. Davis, of Company H, Is homo on a furlough. He Is due In camp on Monday at noon. Evan Is one of the lucky ones. Wellington Woodhull, of Troy, N. Y Is the guest of Private Fied Woodhull. of Company H, a former Green Ridge correspondent of The Tribune. Private Loughney, of Company I, was on guard a few nights ago and the officer of tho guard appeared rath er suddenly near his post. Loughney was on the alert, however, and nt once challenged: "Halt! Who Is there." Tho officer did not nnswer, but continued to advance. The sentinel, who had had Instruction to stop all persons without the countersign, was bound to stop him, and shouted: "You had better stop or there will bo a death In camp." Tho officer stopped and complimented the sentinel. The score at the 200-yard range at target practice of the Pennsylvania boys In Company D Is as follows: Clins.

As I finish this letter it is currently reported, although not officially, that the regiment will not move this week, and the men In consequence ate not very Jubilant. Many will not believe they are going to tho front until tho transport on which they embark passes Sandy Hook. A. E. Vorhis. ALDERMAN KASSON, LINGUIST. Ninth Ward Squire Makes Good Uso of His German.
