Camp Alger, Dunn Lorlng, Va., Aug.
17. The wholesale exodus of troops
from tills place to Mlddlctown, Penn
sylvania, has already begun. The
headquarters of tho Second Army corps
were broken yesterday, and soon af
terwards the Dunn Lorlng station was
tho scene of tho greatest commotion.
At 7 o'clock In the morning details be
gan to arrive from every direction, and
nfter them came tho big, heavy army
wagons carrying rations and nil the
other Incidentals necessary to camp
life. The doors of the long lines of cars
placed conveniently on the temporary
switches of the Southern railroad were
flung open, and in an instont scores
of strong, bronze-faced soldiers were
hard at work transferlng the contents
of the wagons Into the freight cars.
Before night came corps headquarters
the Ninth Ohio battalion (colored) and
the Signal corps were bidding adieu to
Virginia. Tho movement of the Sec
ond division comes next, ns they are
sheltered only by temporary and im
perfect cover at Manassas. That di
vision is now on the move, and may
be in Pennsylvania by the end of the
present week if the quartermaster can
succeed in procuring sufficient trans
portation facilities.
The status of the First division, to
which the Thirteenth regiment belongs,
Is now very much In doubt. Tho ap
pointment of Major General Hutlcr as
one of the three military commission
ers to Cuba has served to complicate
matters very much; anil, while two
days ago, it was well understood what
was going to tnko place next, now a
state of uncertainty and of doubt
seems to be the normal condition of
things. It Is understood that General
Hutler, who was appointed to such a
high command in tho army and then
to the Important post of military com
missioner, is either so well liked by tho
administration or litis such a tremen
dous Influence with It, that he can get
practically whatever ho wants nnd he
may ask to have his division sent with
him, or transferred to Havana ns
speedily ns possible thereafter. This
would result in giving the men a good,
long Introduction to life in Havana
nnd in Cuba in general, points of Inter
est which they nnd given up all hopes
of seeing ns soldiers.
PETITION TO COL. COUHSKN.
From the- beginning the members of
the Thirteenth regiment have been
anxious to he sent to the front, where
they could get a chnnge of scenery, at
least, and see some actual service.
They were prompt to volunteer their
services, and had every reason to hope
nnd to believe that they would be sent
to Cuba with the first expedition. This
was denied them nnd then they peti
tioned the war department in a body
to send them to the front. Then came
all the expeditions to Cuba, to the
Philippines, to tho Sandwich Islands,
and to Porto Rico, and still the Thir
teenth regiment and the brigade, divis
ion, to which It is attached, were left
here sweltering under the Virginia
sun. Later came the rumors of peace,
the signing of the protocol, nnd tho
white Hag, which announced the ter
mination of hostilities. It was I en
felt by tho men that the purpose for
which they had volunteered had been,
to all Intents and purposes, accom
plished. It was at this Juncture that
the announcement was made that we
were to be moved to Mlddletown, a
change which suggested a probably
prompt discharge of the men. To mix
matters up still worse comes the news
of General Butler's appointment. This
time It is the commissioned officers of
the Thirteenth who have spoken and
have asked to be heard. Today they
drew up and circulated the following
petition:
To Colonel H. A. Coursen. Commanding
Thirteenth Regiment, P. V. I.:
We, the underlined, line officers of
your regiment, respectfully petition you
to use your honorable nnd best influence
toward having said regiment, tho Thir
teenth Pennsylvania Volunteer infantry,
Included In nny expedition that may be
sent to Cubn, Porto Rico, or any other
foreign possession of the United States.
Every line nnd staff ofllcer of tho
Thirteenth now In camp has signed
this petition. It has not yet beeen pre
sented to Cvlonel Coursen, but will be,
perhaps, tomorrow. Chaplain iStahl
was also one of the signers.
The old hours for drills, guard mount
nnd dress parade which were adapted
two months ago to meet the exigencies
of the hot weather, were chaneed to
day for the first time. For the future
the guard will be mounted at 8 o'clock
In the morning instead of at half-past
six in tho evening. Dress parade has
been fixed for 5 p. m instead of 7 p. m.
These changes are entirely appreciated
by the boys. They aro more conveni
ent for the reason that the days aro
becoming appreciably shorter.
Those of the boys of the Thirteenth
who were the first to go home on fur
lough are being made glad. At flrst
there was some mistake, and they were
refused the money which they were en
titled to for the rations which neither
they nor their companions used while
they were at home. Now, however,
everything is being straightened out
nnd this money Is dally paid out to the
men. It is not a very large sum, but
it means much to the boys here, who
value even a dollar more highly than
they would vnluo Ave at home.
CAMP GOSSIP.
The Thirteenth now has a small hos
pital, or dispensary, of its own. Those
who suffer from a slight sickness are
brought there, where they can be more
carefully attended to than In quarters.
Private Morris Thomas, of C, orderly
for General Butler, has been acting for
the past week as orderly for the court
of inquiry Investigating tho Third Vir

who was court-martlalled recently for
some alleged neglect on provost duty
last week, has been found "not guilty."
It Is believed that an Injustice, per
haps nn unintentional one, whs done

GRAHAM AT MIDDLETOWN.
Headquarters of Second Army Corps
Now on Pennsylvnnin Soil.
By Associated Press.
Harrlsburg, Aug. 17. Major General
Graham has taken charge of the now
military camp near Mlddletown and
will recommend that It be named In
honor of General George G. Meade.
General Graham arrived in enmp this
morning from Falls Church with his
staff, and is much pleased with its lo
cation. The Third battalion of tho Sixteenth
regiment started from Newport News
this afternoon for Camp Meade and
will arrive during tho night. The rall
road officials have been advised to pre
pare for a heavy movement of troops
nnd It is expected thnt 30,000 men will
be encamped In the vicinity of Middle
town within the next thirty days. The
only other arrivals today were Colonel
C. A. Woodruff, commissary general of
the new camp; the Second Signal corps
nnd the Second division hospital corps.
Adjutnnt General Stewart visited the
camp this evening and expressed much
pleasure at the arrangements which
are being mnde for the care and com
fort of the troops.
ECHOES OF THE WAR.
In a Wllkes-Barro window Is a car
tridge cape taken from tho Spanish
cruiser Oquendo after the destruction
in July. The case was exploded, as !s
shown by the shattered end. It was
found near one of the guns on the
Oquendo by fireman Thomas Bell of
the United States torpedo boat Dupont
and presented to Stanley W. Bogart,
of Wllkes-Barre.
Rev. W. De F. Johnson, chaplain of
the Ninth regiment, returned to
Wllkes-Barre from Chlckamauga hav
ing tendered his resignation as chaplain
of the regiment to take effect August
20. He Is anxious to resume his duties
aa pastor of Calvary Episcopal church
but has suffered so much from sick
ness, and his arduous work' that it will
be necessary for him to take a rest
for several weeks to recuperate says
the Wllkes-Barre Times.
Regarding the health of the Ninth
regiment. Chaplain Johnson stated that
he hopes for an improvement from now
on. The most serious caseshave either
recovered or have died, and since the
camp has been moved he thinks the
outbreak of typhoid will be checked.
An important change has been made
in the abandoning of regimental fu
nerals said Mr. Johnson. This was
done nfter a careful discussion and it
was deemed best to take the step, no
the regimental obsequies proved unu
sually sad, and also very depressing
upon the men, especially the sick. Tho
change has already developed much
good. When a member dies now, and
if tho body is not claimed by the rela
tives or friends, It Is taken to Chlcka
mauga and given burial there In the
Natlonnl cemetery.
Rev. Mr. Johnson brought with hfm
about $2,000 sent ty the boys to their
dependent ones at home, the result of
their late pay . This money will be
turned over to the board of trade for
distribution according to the nlan nur-
eued when tho former amounts were re-
celved.
The ex-chaplain was accompanied
home by Mrs. Johnson, who has been
at Chlckamauga several weeks.
VOICES.
Oh, the sun shines bright on the roadway
whlto
And burns on the roses red.
And bluo Is the sky where marching by,
Are men with martial tread.
And a redblrd sli.gs In the apple tree,
And a white dove hovers near,
And a bluebird whistles u note to me
As the soldiers disappear.
'And where," says blue, "are they going
to,
And what aro they going for?"
And a crow lilts by with the hollow cry.
Of "War! War! War!"
Oh, the night falls brown on fleld and
town
That throb with the summer heat,
Ab. lifting my latch, I bend to catch
Tho tramp cf returning feet.
And the redblrd sleeps, and tho dove of
white,
And the bluebird's voice Is still,
While out of the shadows comes tonight
Tho song of tho whlp-po-wlll.
Oh, feet that rnss fh the dust and grass,
My vigil shall never ccaho.
Though n cricket sings with Us grating
wings
Of "Peace! Peace! Peace!"

of East Mnuch ChunK, 21 years old,

July 14, died on Saturday at Chlcka

unknown to his parents, nnd was on
his way south before they know it.
The body will be brought home for
Interment.
It Is the general sentiment thnt of
ficial "red tape," says the Philadel
phia Ledger, as much as anything else,
Is responsible for the serious fever con
ditions In some of the regiments.. For
Instance, the Ninth Pennsylvania,
which has suffered more severely from
typhoid than nny other regiment In the
nark, Is Indignant nt the suggestions
that Its afflictions are probably due to
gross 'mismanagement and to criminal
negligence on tho part of the ofllcers
and men. The camp of the Ninth reg
iment hns been kept well policed, but
lor a long time its sinks were very
near the company messes. As one of
Its ofllcers expressed It today, this was
a fault that could not bo rhnrirnrl fn
the regiment. Repeated requests, he
sta ed, were made for permission to
abandon tho sinks and' to locate new
ones In the field some 300 yards south
of camp, but these requests fell upon
'loaf ears, and, when Anally a new
commander took charge of the division
und dlsense germs hnd been planted
among the men, the permission came
for a change in tho location of sinks.
The nrmy is not now the splendidly
organized body of men It has been.
The soldiers see the chance for fight
ing has gone and that all they have In
prospect Is dull camp life or garrison
ctuty, says the Now York Tribune. This
Is not what the volunteer soldier came
out for. Ho came out to fight, and
nothing else can keep him contented.
Colonel Lawton. commanding First
Georgia, at Chlckamauga, received the
following telegram Saturday:
-!., i , M,lcort On.. Aug. 13. 1S9?.
Colonel Lawton. First Georgia Inlnii
trj, Lamp Thrums: Wo are fn the ba--rncks.
Caught before wo could see our
mothers. If you will release us we will
report at retreat on Aug. U.
Boys of Company E. ,
There Is an Interesting story behind
the telegram. After receiving thohi
pay n number of men left the camp
Eleven were mlsslnr from Cimpany R
Colonel Lawton had reason to suspect
that the men had gone to Macon and
telegraphed to Captain Bell, the re
cruiting officer there, to watch th
trains, which was done, nnd the eleven
men were arrested ns they left t''e
in.m ana were lodged In the bar
racks. Then (hoy telegraphed to Col
onel Lawton asking to be released.
Their leques! was not granted by Col
onel Lawton, who decided to send Ad
jutant White and a detail of men af
ter the prisoners. They will be
brought bad. to camp tomorrow and
will be court martlaled.
It will be seen that It is necessarv to
do something to keep the men occu
pied and contented. General Breckin
ridge said today this is the most trying
and critical period In the life nf th
Volunteer army. The work of Improv
ing wie ciinin nospitnls will be pushed
with all haste. Immediately after the
b'g levlew the breaking up of the
camps will begin and tho regiments
will move Into tho mountains.
V
Tho First Pennsylvania rwlnmnt
continues to manifest its objection to
garrison duty In the West Indies or the
Paclli-J islands. nOW thnt the war- lo
over .and they prefer as a body to re
turn to their usual vocations, says the
Philadelphia Ledger.
The nealtii conditions of tho nrmy at
Camp Thomas Is readily Improving
with the change of camps to the open
Ueld3 instead of tho woods, and with
the better sanitary regulations put In
operation by General Breckinridge.
Dr. Charles II. Miner, assistant sur
geon of the Ninth regiment, came to
Wllkes-Barre from Chlckamauga on
Sunday, owing to the Illness of his
father, Hon. Charles A. Miner, but the
latter is so much improved that tho
doctor will most likely leave tomorrow
for Chlckamauga to Join his command.
The First division, which Includes the
Ninth regiment, Is to be moved to Lex
ington, Ky., on Friday next and it Is
necessary that ho be at Chlckamauga
on that day.
Dr. Miner stntes that the regimental
hospital Is In flue shape, there being a
sulllclent supply of pajamas, cots,
sheets, etc., but the division 'hospital
Is not In as good shape, mainly be
cause of the lack of accommodations,
although an nddltlon Is being built
which MU nccommodate a couple of
hundred more guests. Regarding the
cause of the sickness in camp, Dr.
Miner states that It Is, In his opinion,
due to a variety of causes. He states
that the medical authorities have no
positive proof that any one source of
water supply Is responsible. The spring
water supply appears to be free from
disease breeding germs. The water Is
carted In barrels from the spring to
the camp, some six miles distant, and
it Is thought that the barrels used for
that purpose may be responsible, though
this cannot be verified.
Another letter has been received
from John McGulgan, of Wllkes-Barro
says tho Times of that city. McGulgan
Is stationed with the regular infantry
nt Santiago. His company has been In
Santiago about a month and to thun
that period has been another life. Tha
Irregularity of meals, absence of r. su
fficient tobacco supply, enduring tho
hot rays of tho Cuban sun and the
drenching rains which occur daily
from 3 to 5 o'clock havo for them no
fascination, and while some of them
rather enjoy tho diversion, yet others
havo had sufficient ttlals to ctuisj them
to long for American shores again.
When they landed In SantliiKo their
oornpany was 101 strong, now it num
bers only thirty-four. One has been
killed In battlo and fourteen wounded.
Others are In tho hospital- a'd some
have been sent home. A United States
postofllcc has been established there
and also a commissary.
It looks as If Camp Thomas will cer
tainly, socjn be broken. Monday the
First Vermont received marching or
ders for Fort Ethan Allen, Burling
ton, Vt.', a military iost established by
Senator Proctor. The regiment will
leave the park Thursday or Friday.
Tho Third division, First Army corps,
will also break camp Thursday after
noon" and leave for Lexington, Ky.
General Sanger left this morning for
Lexington to look after a site for the
location of the division.
The Third division, which goes
Thursday night, Is composed of the
following regiments: Twelfth Minne
sota, Fifth Pennsylvania, Eighth
Massachusetts, Twenty-first Kansas,
Twelfth New York, Ninth Pennsyl
vania, Second Missouri and First New
Hampshire.
Every preparation possible is being
made by General Breckinridge, his staff
and tho various division officers to
make the review on Wednesday the
grandest ever witnessed In the South.
Todny tho concral nnd his staff were
busily engaged Issuing orders for the
review and prepnrlng n formation.
Governor Hnstinijs sent n telegrnm
tonight to Secretary of War Alger ask
ing If the report tint the Pennsylvania

SPAIN'S SQUADRON SMASHED.
Six Ships Sunk, Starving Sailors Sul
lenly Surrendered.
From tho Susquehanna Transcript.
The following was composed and
written by '.'eorge Weeks, son of the
late Rev. Wieks, former pastor of the
Baptist rhurch of this town. Gcoige
is now stenographer in a large cstr.b
lUhmfnt In Now York cltv. Road It
don't read too fast, but take your time
to It.
Sunshiny summer Sunday, some
suni since, saw Spaniards' Santiago
squadron seemingly slumbering. Sud
denly sentry signalled Sampson's ship
steaming shoreward, Sampson seek
ing Shufter's station. Spanish skipper,
supposing Schley superintending
sacred Sabbath services, seized season
seemingly so safe; signalled six ships;
"Steam singly swiftly seaward."
Sly. shrewd Schley, serenely smok
ing segar, seriously scanning spark
ling sea's surface, soon saw shifting
smoke swirling skyward. Stili scru
tinizing shore, seamen suddenly spied
Spanish ships scudding seaward,
steaming swiftly, sucttedlng ships
slmlllarly sailing, seeking safety
southward. Seeing Schley's strong,
stetl fchlp spiritedly start shooting,
Spaniards swerved, skirting shore,
sperdily steaming, stokers shoveling
bturllly, smoke stacks spouting sooty
smoke, sohrews stirring swirling
southing seas, squadron still seeking
safety, supposing speed superior.
Schley's railors, shooting surely,
sent solid shot, shells, schrapncl,
screeching, shrleklr.g squarely striking
Spanish ships, shattering stays,
shields, smokestacks, slaughtering
sailors, ships' steel sides soon seeming
slmplv sieves. Spanish speed slnkened,
sailors shooting spasmodically, sending
screaming shells seaward, shoreward,
skyward, splashing salt sen, scaring
sharks simply. Still, Spain's seaman
struggled stubbornly. Schley's ships
steaming splendld'y, shooting superb
ly, steadily sent staggering shot, scat
tering splinters, sending Mining, scald
InV steam swirling, slaying sailors,
staining sea scarlet. Single shell slew
stty Spaniards. Such skillful shoot
ing soon silenced Spain's ships, stu
pendous slaughter stunning Spaniards.
So pcvc-ral ships, scarred, shattered,
sinking, succumbed, surrendering.
Surly, f-ullep seamen, saagely swear
In;, sought salvation swimming.
Schley's ship sent speedy succor, -aav-lng
several score struggling Spaniards.
Single Spanish ship scorned .surren
der, still steaming swiftly. Sampson's
ship, seeing Mgnals, sighting scurrying
Spanish squadron, sought same
sphere, seeking some share, slinging
several scattered shots. Sedate, sen
tentious Sampson somewhat sadly,
slowly soliloquized: "Seems surpass
ing Mrnnge Spaniards, seeking safely
seaward, should select such lingular
seasons." Simultaneously stately
S-ci;ely, surveying same scene, scorn
ing shelter, seemed smiling. Shortly
second swift, steel ship, speeding
splendidly, sent shell, striking surviv
ing Spaniard. She soon sent second
shell shrieking stern summons: "Sur
render" So she surrendered, salvos
sounding, sudors surreptitiously scut
tling ship.
SYNOPSIS: Spain's submarine su
prcmaty sustained. Star spangled

missed. Miss Alllneham. the aunt,
went out in search of the child, and fol
lowed his track for nearly two miles.
Then It was lost, and she was com
pelled to return home. It was now
dark, and the weather cold.
A search-party of men with lanterns
.was at once organized. They followed
the tracks some distance. Then the
tracks left the trail, the Fly Creek
ranch over the Matoles for some dis
tance. Then the tracks of the trail,
wanderlnff In the woods In every di
rection, at one time returning to with
in n mile of the home ranch, and then
wandering off again.
Until two o'clock In the morning this
was kept up, and then the track was
lost so that no one could find It hy aid
of the lanterns. It was now so cold
that the searchers had to build a Are,
nnd remain by It until daybreak. They
had lost all hope of finding the? child
alive. The exposure, they felt sure,
must have ended his life.
With daylight they resumed their
melancholy search, and nfter a tlmo
the trail of the boy and the dog was
again found. They followed It now
very carefully, and it was not lost
again.
At eight o'clock In the morning the
men saw the dog at a little distance
ahead, and soon they caught sight of a
child's motionless and prostrJt form
curled up beside It. They hardly dared
approach, but presently they did so,
and were overjoyed to find that tho
child was little Rex, and that he was
not dead, but was sleeping profoundly,
well enveloped In tho dog's warm fur.
The little boy must have walked
twelve or fifteen miles, and wns thor
oughly exhausted. Dt for the dog he
must have perished In the cold.
Two facts are remarkable about tho
dog's conduct: He stuck by the child
nnd did not start for home, ns most
dogs would have done, when the child
In his wnnderlngs approached nearest
to It; and he had Intelligence enough to
cuddle close to the boy to keep him
warm, and not circle about, as many
dogs, even of tho most devoted kind,
would have done.
Rex was taken home, and with rest
and care recovered from his exposure
and exhaustion.
