Camp Alger, Dunn Lorlng. Aug. 10.
Tho camp Is literally a deluge this
morning. For the past forty-night
hours It has been raining almost con
tinually, and today everything Is Hood
ed, and the toads, to a certain extent,
Impassible. Thl condition of nffalrs
makes life quite uneventful and unin
teresting for all, excepting those
who In rain or shine must be out on
provost duty. The chief work consists
In drying tents, blankets, clothes and
elioes.
The drenching rains which for two
davs have more than relieved the
FMvero droucht for which this rerlon
had become notorious, left nothing un
touched, and many of tho boys are go
ing around today In spite of them
selves Imitating tho philosophy of
"Korltloss Jerry Simpson." Nor Is the
end yet. The elements are still dls
tuibed nnd the lowering cloiuls are as
suming threatening proportions. This
is a lane" of extremes It either rains
to u finish, or shines till there Is no
more heat left.
The following message has been re
ceived fnm the olllce of the superin
tendent of the Southern Express com
pany, and communicated to nil cap
tains of the regiments stationed here:
I nm Instructed by our tralllo manager,
Mr. Charles L. Loop, to nilvise you that
tho Southern Kxpress company will re
duce 25 per cent, from the rnton hereto
fore In effect for the transportation ot
corpse of soldiers who may lnso their
lives In active service during tho present
term of enlistment for tho war with
Spfiln.
Tho following named express ccmpanlp
havo concurred In this reduction: Ad
onis express, American express. United
States express, Pacific express and Wells.
I'nrgo.
Mr. Loop desires that this reduction lie
especially drawn to the attention of the
ehnplalns of regiments, ns It Is probable
that this will enable friends or relatives
of many soldiers to return their bodies to
their homes, when they could not othor
w Ise afford to do so.
J. 1'. Hooladay, Asst. Supt. ,
This Is one of the doubtful offeis
i't which very few of the boys are anx
ious to take advantage right away.
.TURSEYITES CAUSE TnOUHLE.
Last night at nine o'clock Corporal
Owen Hughes, of F, who was corporal
of the relief then on duty had an ex
, citing time at the guard house of tho
Thirteenth. Five belated Jerseyltes,
one private and three corporals came
along In a carriage. The road which
they took Is a closed one and no wag
ons are nllowed through It Into the
boundaries of the Thirteenth's camp
unless the driver has a pass. This es
sential was missing In this case nnd
consequently the Jerseyltes had the op.
tion of getting out and walking from
there home. This they refused to do
nnd Insisted on getting the wagon
through.
The gunrd was called out Just In
time to preent troublo as the offending
soldiers attempted not only to force
the lines but also to assault the guard
and the corporal. The belligerent Jer
sey men were quickly brought to their
senses. The private was brought to
the guard house and the four non
com?, were requested to give the name
of their company and regiment.
Charges will he preferred aglnst them.
The general health of the Thirteenth
Mill continues hi Improve and very
few wvre reported sick this morning,
and these coses were of the ordinary
slight nature.
The Third Virginia Is in disgrace on
account of the attempt to lynch a ne
gro. Major General Butler has spoken
and his words are stinging nnd Impres
sive. Last night he Issued the follow
ing order which speaks for Itself:
Headquarters First Division, Second
Army Corps, Camp llussel A. Alger,
Vu., Aug. 0, lf9S.
General' Order No. IS.
1--I'ntll further orders there will ho
four company roll calls in the Third Vir
ginia at reveille, at dinner call, at le
ticat and nt tattoo, the ebsenteps after
eaeli call to be immediately leported to
these headquarters.
II A sutllclenl guard will bo detailed
from this regiment to placo a cordon of
sentinels every thirty feet around tho
regiment, and no one will be nllowed to
get out of Its camp except In the dis
charge of some proper military duty. If
this method of confining tho members of
this regiment within regimental camp
limits should prove Ineffective, a repjrt
will bo promptly made, mid details from
niliur regiments of this division will bo
made for that duty.
UI The major general commanding
witnessed in person with painful regret
tho riotous and Insubordinate conduct of
n part of this regiment on the night ot
the Sth of August. It was a disgrace to
the service and to the stato of Virginia.
Nothing could Justify or excuse It. As
fast us tho names of thoso engaged In
Mich unsoldlerly and disgraceful conduct
can be ascertained, tho secretary of war
will bo requested to dishonorably dis
charge them from tho United States'
servlco.
IV No furloughs, leaves of absence, or
passes will be granted to members of tho
Third Virginia until further ordors.
Mcuntlme the rules and articles of war
will bo published at dress parado until
the officers nnd men have become famil
iar with and learned to obey the same.
V This order will be published at ev

eral cleanliness of camp. This Is nil
tho more Important now, owlnu to thi
accumulation of pools of water and

this point.

A Wilkoa-Barro man has received an
Interesting lettct from ono of the ob

who says, among other things: " "
As you say, thero is more sickness here,

term of study there made a tour around
tho world on board tho Richmond with
President U. S. Grant, and shared, as a
Junior tho honors showered on his chief.
During tho past month Lleutennnt
Commander Ryan distinguished himself
at Los Tunas and Palo Alto, on the
southern coast of Cuba, and has the credit
of landing a large amount of supplies for
the Insurgents. The supplies were land,
ed under heavy firing from the Spanish
lines. In tho space of forty-eight hours
ho nnd his little band ot heroes were four
times under open lire, but only ono wns
killed nnd one wemded. It was during
one of thoso attacks thnt Captain Joso
Mnnuel Nunez, brother of General Emlla
Nunez, was killed, and WInthrop Chan
lcr. of New York, was shot through tho
right elbow.
In these encounters with tho enemy
Lieutenant Commnnder Ryan displayed
a heroism which earned for htm tho envi
able sobriquet of "Llttlo Uewey." Tho
Peoria, which was one of tho mosquito

raised whether or not tho declaration of

Tho Improvement of tho sanitary condi

Lieutenant Leon Merrill, regimental ad
Jutant of the Third regiment, nnd Private
Roy Stevens Smith, of Company L, ar
rived in Klmlra Tuesdny morning nt 5
o'clock from Camp Alger. Lieutenant
Merrill Is in 111 health and Is thought to
be coming down with typhoid fever. Ho
was ordered homo on a 30-day furlough.
"Smithy" f.ppears to be in thfa best of
health and Icoks much stronger than
when ho Joined Cempnny L. In speaking
of camp llfo ho haid:
"Camp Alger Is not nearly as popular
among the soldiers as was Camp Black
The climate Is warmer and at times al
most suffocating. Secretary Alger and
President McKlnley often drive over to
the camp, which also Is frequently visited
by Inge numbers of Washington cltl
ueiib. Of late much tvphold fever and
i;her diseases have prevailed in tho earnp
resulting In tho sicknefs of many men.
One company from Wllllamsport list
thirteen men In about ono week. The
olllclils, however, are doing everything
In their power to stop tho sickness from
spreading."
Mr. Smith does not think, from the
present outlook, that the soldiers r.t
Camp Alger will bo discharged before
December. The men aro very anxious
to bo ordered to the front, but havo
nearly given up all hope of seeing rictlvo
service.
In a letter to a friend, fays the Strouds

Lieutenant Brown Is taking copious notes
of his experience and may lecture upou

Tho paymaster began paying Tuesday,
