s 8 THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-FRIDAY, AUGUST 19. 1898. THIRTEENTH MAY YET GO TO CUBA GEN. GRAHAM'S CORPS SLATES TOB QAIUUSON DUTY. Such at Least Is tho Well Grounded Story That lteaches Camp Alger. General Gobln Has Been Told That His Men Will Be Given a Cuban Assignment Everybody In Camp Is Discussing tho New Possibility. Special to tho Scranton Tribune Camp Alger, Dunn Loring, Vn-, Aug. 18, 1858. Word reached here today that the second army corps Is to do garri son duty in Cuba, and that It will leave for Havana about the middle of October. It Is not an ofllclal state ment but the fact that officers of the highest rank discuss It ns a certainty gives every (reason to believe .that there Is some foundation for It. This morning your correspondent Went to General Butler's headquarters. The general had been In Washington for two days conferring with the pres ident and cabinet nnd was to busy looking over mall to bo Interviewed. However, Major 1 S. 'Strong, the nd Jutnnt general was present, and wni nsked to give some Idea as to the pre sent status of this corps. He stated that General Uutler will bo leaving here in a few days and that ns a re fcult some other major general would be appointed to command tho division ns General llutler will be detached from, his command the moment ho leaves here to assume his duties as a military commissioner. It might even happen that tho sen ior brigadier general would be tem porarily appointed to All the place, nnd this would very likely result in the nppolntmcnt of Brigadier Gobln, of the Third brigade. General But ler will take with him to Cuba only his personal staff. Major Strong nlFO stated that tho absence of the present division commander will In no way interfere with the removal of the troops to Mlddletown, Pennsylvania. That will not be interrupted. GENRUAIj GOBIN IiKARS IT. The tame information was obtained lU brigade hendquirtCM nnd nt thu headquarters of tho Thirteenth regi ment. General Gobln was not present, ns he was then attending the closing arguments of the case of tho Third Virginia; but n member of his staff In formed your correspondent that Gener al Gobln had been told by General But-If-r that the entire corps will finally go to Cuba to bo located nt Havana, at the end of October. The evacuation of Tuba will not take place till then. Thi; Spanish ttoops will, during the con tinuation of the yellow fever season, be required to occupy their present po sit'on and to preserve peace, till It Is safe for Ameiican troops to take their pl.ice Thpn. In all probability, this entire corps which has not seen ser vice, will bi required, with another corps, to occupy the province of Hav ana. The opinion seems to preail at Dlvl slon and at Brigade headquarters, nnd In f.tct Is openly expressed that thcra will yet bo trouble with the Culuun, and perhaps violent clashes, wlh will pK'e the boys a taste of actual warfare. OVlonel Coursen thinks that, while wo nre sure to go to Mlddletown, it is not at all Improbable that the entile corps, and, therefore, the Thirteenth lOBlment, will in due time bo ordered to Cuba as part of the garrison which the United States proposes to hold there for some time. Mu:h speculation Is the order of tho day in the Thliteenth, not only on account of thi3 news, but also on ac count of the petition of the officers to Co'oncl Coursen. asking him to use his best endeaore that tho regiment may bo sent to garrison some of our foreign possessions. It is not known what effect this may have and the subject is the one general topic now discussed throughout the regiment. AT DIVISION HEADQUARTERS. A general division court martial is being held today. Colonel Couisen Is presiding and Adjutant Stover, of tho Eleventh Pennsylvania, js acting as Judge advocate. The cat,e of the Third Virginia Is being closed today nnd pleas are being made by the nttorneys for the Vlrgln lana.

The weather has taken another turn and Is now nlmost at the old tempera nture bo well known during the old day3 spent at Camp Alger. The work of discharging men from the Division hospital on account of physical disability continues dally. Several men have received their dis charge from the service the past week, and those who could not be discharged nt once were sent home on sick leave nnd will be discharged there.

Information Is reported to have reached Camp Alger that the Second Army Corps have been selected for garrison duty In Cuba nnd will leave Mlddletown, Pa., about the middle of October. It Is renorted further that tho de tachment selected for the detail wir, consist of about 60,000 men to be tnken mainly from the two corps commnnded by General Lee and Genet al Graham. No officer woujd say that such orders have been received but It Is understood that this Information Is nuthentlc. THE CAMP AT MIDDLETOWN. Hnrrlsburg, Aug. IS. Major General Graham received word from the war department today approving his re commendation that the camp near Mlddletown be named In honor of Gen eral George Gordon Meade. Things are rapidly getting Into shape under Gen eral Ginluun nnd before tho close of the month it it expected that all of the troops of the Second army corps will bo comfortably installed. The Thirteenth, Twelfth and Eighth Pennsylvania regiments will soon be with the command. Among the ar rival at camp today was First Ser geant Glrnrd, of Roosevelt's Rough riders, who has just returned from Cuba. He has been assigned ns as sistant hospital steward under his fath er, Lieutenant Colonel Qlrard, who Is the chief medical officer of the second division. WAR ECHOES. It Is announced from Bellcfonto that Governor Hastings is endeavoring to arrange with the war department to bring nil sick Pennsylvania soldler3 from Camps Alger, Thomas, Tnmpa and other places In the south to Penn sylvania at once by hospital trains. He is nlso calling upon the several hos pitals of the btnte who have heretofore received a number of telegrams from different state Institutions nnd has no doubt that tho state hospitals, such as the University of Pennsylvania, the Medlco-Chlrurgical and the Jefferson In Philadelphia, and similar Institutions In Pittsburg nnd other portions of tho state will tender their aid ns soon as they learn the soldiers are to be brought from the south. The governor Is not nt all In doubt but that his appeal will meet with gen eral response. Every Pennsylvania regiment has one or more hospitals within its territorial limits. Tho first response came on Tuesday from the Medlco-Chlrurgical hospital, of Phila delphia. Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Brown, of Scott street, AVllkes-Barre, received the following very interesting letter from their son, Andrew, who is now employed on the battleship Helena. Tho young man left his home about a year ago and has since been employed on the boat. He says: "Dear Father: With pleasure I writs to you to let you know that I am well again, that my arm, which had a large boll upon the elbow, Is nil right. A friend of mine by the name of Hawley wrote the last letter for me, as I could not on account of my arm. We are bnck to Key West again; arrived here the 3d of August. I saw In some of the letters which I received from Wilkes Barre that work is very dull In the town where I used to dwell. Well, ns we left Clenfuegos, things were pretty quiet, as wo bad all batteries silenced from Capo Cruise to Clenfuegos, In cluding Manznnlllo, Port Tunis, Trlnl did nnd Cnba'nas. In Mnnzanillo we sank six gunboats, a receiving ship and a large transport, which the Cuban pilot, who Is aboard our ship, said brought troops over from Spain. It is too bad we did not capture them on their way, as then she would not have landed her troops. In Port Tunis, In which place we were answered back with our firing, we had a pretty warm time of It for awhile, but we stayed there nnd shelled away nt them, filing 250 four-Inch shells nnd about 500 six pound shells, but In tho meantime they were not slow in letting shells drive back at us, ns they were dropping around pretty lively, but none struck the ship except small pieces of shrap nel, which just came over our backs and tore the navigator's pants at the knee nnd putting a small gash In a fellow's head by the name of Mc Carthy. "On our way to Key West we met tho Eagle, which was formerly owned by the New York Yacht club, but now belongs to the United States navy. The captain on her said that General Miles and his army were ordered out of San tiago and to go to Portg. Rico at once, which, he said, made him think as though the war was over on the Is land. Let us hope so. This will be nil for this time. Hoping to hear from you soon, from your son." News wns received nt Pnmn Thnn... Tuesduy night that 50,000 of the volun teers win soon ue mustered out, but nslde from the general statement that nil volunteer cavalry nnd nrim,.,.,. .m bo disbanded there wns no Intimation s to wnnt particular regiments will go. Every regiment nt rhifimmi,u.o would like to temaln In service, says me rniinaeipnia press. Ample evi dence of this will soon be nfforded. Just as quick ns tomorrow's great re low Is over every outgoing wire will be hot with pleas to prominent politi cians. At every turn In tho affair of this war political inniiemn im. iion manifest nnd the commanders here be- neve that now will he the tug of war and everv colonel of Camp Thomai hopes that his command will win.

The Red Cross society has at present forty-five nurses In camp and will In crease the number to 125. The work Is in charge of Miss Maxwell, late super intendent of the Presbyterian hospi tal ot New York city, assisted by Miss Crumlln. On Tuesday the G. II. Sternberg gen eral hospital was formally opened. Each of the tents Is equipped with iron bedsteads, woven-wire springs, six inch hair mnttreSses, feather pillow und mosquito bars One Red Cross nurse will bo In charge of each tent, day' and night, attending to four pa tients In earh tent. It Is absolutely dry around the tents, nnd tho drnlnng-j of the grounds Is excellent.

Major GeMIn has had erected near the south flank of tho camp a bacterU ologlcal laboratory, where he proposes to have a thorough Investigation as to the cause of the sickness of the camps. This department Ins been plnctd In charge of competent men, with large experience In the work. The First Pennsylvania regiment's .sick will be taken away on Friday in th special train from Philadelphia. They will number about fifty. Mr. nnd Mrs. Mathew Hoffman, ot Wllkes-Barre, have recently received a letter from their son, Lieutenant George Hoffman, who Is a member ot the United States Engineer corps with Shnfter's army In Cuba. Lleutennnt Hoffman bad a spell of sickness but has recovered nnd since tho fall of San tiago has been busily engaged making maps of the territory which will be used In describing the campaign and the various movements of the army nnd the location of the military opera tions and batteries. The lieutenant ex pects to be kept there for some time. IRON AND STEEL TRADE. The Market Shows Improvement nnd Prospects Are Cheering. Pittsburg, Aug. IS. The American Manufacturer will say tomorrow: "It may be said that the Iron nnd steel trade Is considerably better this week than It was at last reports. Our local report shows an Improvement, and nt several other points prospects nre much more cheering. At 'Philadelphia- the irfost favorable change seen for years Is shown in the spirit of the trade. Prices remain about the same but there is a general firming up of every direction. Several furnace companies nre out of the market for months to come nnd there Is a general feeling that a largo amount of busi ness Is pig Iron will be done during tho next two weeks. Bessemer billet, pri ces have advanced suddenly; ns large transactions were closed. Tho mer chant bar mills are In better shape than they have been for some months and although prices are low they are not weak. Skelp has Improved and there Is nn unexpected rush of orders for merchant steel. Structural orders are fair, and the plate niiTls are ex pecting a large slice of the Austrlanor der that will soon be placed. At New York there has been no material change but trade Is fair. The Chicago mar ket shows a more decided strength and there nre more buyers. Southern pig Iron has made another advance. A large volume of business Is doing In plates, nnd better prices are being paid for structural material. A large tonnage In merchant steel has been dlsposd of, nnd numerous sales of black sheets are reported. At Cincin nati the total pig Iron sales are more satisfactory than for some weeks. Southern furnaces have refused orders for 2,500 tons nt $6.10, Birmingham. The car works are fairly busy, a good trade In merchant steel Is being done, while galvanized sheets nnd corruga ted roofing nre in fairly good demand. The pig iron trade at St. Louis is im proving. In the Wheeling district the Improvement continues but it is rather slow. There is a better outlook for Bessemer steel, and a fairly good de mand for all grades of finished Iron Is reported. The demand for skelp is decidedly better. Cleveland reports stlffer prices in pig iron, a big demand for sheets, and wrought iron active." TROLLEY CAR WRECK. Several Persons Are Injured at New Castle. New Castle, Pa., Aug. 18. This eve ning when the Heptnsophs picnickers were returning from Cascade park one man, Cooney Hltchue, of McKeesport, Pa., was killed and several Injured In n trolley car wreck. There were about 10,000 people in attendance nt the pic nic and on the return trip the New Castle traction trolley cars were crowded with passengers. As a train was rounding a curve the train Jumped the track In front of a train going In the opposite direction. Hltchue was horribly crushed. Among those injured are: James H. Wyant and tu o-year-old son, of McKeesport, badly cut and bruised, but will re cover. BODIES RECOVERED. Remains of the Philadelphia Girls Are Swollen and Discolored. Philadelphia, Aug. 18. The bodies of Maud Hoffnngle and Bessie Foust, the young girls who committed suicide on Tuesday by Jumping Into the Dela ware river together from the deck of a ferry boat, was recovered today. Both bodies were bruised and swollen, and came to the surface within a few hours of each other and a short distance from where they were seen to disap pear. There was nothing found on them which aided In any way to In dicate the motive for the double sui cide. The families of both girls agree that the affection existing between them was of a close and unusual nature. MENDING THE CABLE. Admiral Dewey Picked Up the Sev ered End on Friday. Hong Kong, Aug, 18. A dispatch from tho correspondent nt Manila for tho Associated Press confirming the capture of the town says the Amerlcun troops now occupy every position formerly held by tho Spaniards of whom 6.000 nre prisoners. Not a single shot wns fired nt the fleet. The dlsputch ulso bays that Admiral Dewey picked up the end of the sev ered cable on Friday, but that the line Is not yet in working order. Mer chantmen are leaving Hong Kong dally for Manila. A great rush of trade Is xpected. CERVERA'S PLANS. He Will Not Return to Spain Imme diatelyWill Be the Last of Our Spanish Captives to Go Homo. Will See His Crews Off Pirst The Cases of Dr. Jureda and Captain Moreu. Washington, Aug. 18. Admiral Cer vera will not return to Spain Imme diately. The reports from Annapolis which said he would leave there for Washington today arc declared at the navy yard to be Incorrect. The ad miral haH made no application to leave tho United States, nnd It Is tho be lief that he will be the last of the Spanish prisoners to go home, ns he appears to be desirous of seeing his men on their wny homeward before he starts. The nnvy department hns not tnken up the question of the final disposi tion of the Spanish prisoners, although it has passed on one or two special cases In which the circumstances made speedy action advisable. One of those was the case of Dr. Jureda, tho vener able Spanish naval surgeon, who was held with the other Spanish prisoners at Annapolis. The surgeons report that Dr. Jureda Is very feeble, and while he might be nblo to reach Spain if re leased now, he would not be able to make the trip a month hence. The navy department nccordlngly directed his release, nnd the Spanish chaplain will be allowed to accompany him to Spain. The case of Captain Moreu, com mander of one of the cruisers of Cer vera's fleet, hns also received special attention by the department. It ap pears that Captain Moreu Is not only nn officer of the navv. but Is a mem ber of the Spanish parliament. With the prospect that the parliament would reassemble nt an early day, Captain Moreu was desirous of returning to Spain nnd nppenrlng In the sessions. In particular he expressed the desire of telling the Spanish parliament of the generous treatment accorded to him and nil other Spanish prisoners by tho United States. The officials hero felt that such a statement from Cap tain Moreu could but have a salutary effect. His release was ordered ac cordingly. INTENSE HEAT IN EUROPE. Ten Deaths Occurred From It in Hamburg Yesterday. Hamburg, Aug. IS. Ten deaths from the effect of tho bent occurred here yesterday. Mnny persons were taken ill on the .streets. Berlin, Aug. Vt. -The tropical heat continues and many cases of npoplexv nro reported. Man fires have broken out In Germany and elsewhere on ac count of the dryness. Almost the w lole town of Mir. in the province of Vtlna, Russia, hns been destroyed by lire. Eighteen persons were killed by the fall of one of the "burning build ings. DUTIES OF THE STAFF. What the Ten Departments Do for the Army. From the New York Tribune. The appointment of civilians to staff offices has caused much inquiry as to the functions of these departments, which shows that civilians have only an Imperfect idea of the duties of the men who have gone from their desks, their stores, law offices and counting rooms to the front, and who have ex changed the conventional garb for the blue of Uncle Sam. There are ten staff departments. Tho heads of these are known as adjutant general. Inspector general, quartermas ter general, Judge advocate general, surgeon general, commissary general paymaster general, chief of ordnance, chief of engineer corps nnd chief of sig nal corps. These heads all have the rank of brigadier general, and each department has deputies and assist ants with ranks ranging from colonel to second lieutenant. There are In all 487 officers In the staff departments of the United States army, of whom the largest number, 16S, are captains and the smallest number, 10, brigadier gen erals. The pay of the staff officers for a year amounts in the nggregate to J1.4S7.000, uiviuea as follows: Ten brigadiers, $55,000; 30 colonels, $135,000; 52 lieutenant colonels, $208,000; 136 majors, $476,000; 168 captains, $423, 360; 81. first lieutenants, $170,000; 100 sec ond lieutenants, $19,560; aggregate, $1, 487.020. As to the functions of these offices, the adjutant general and his assistants take the places of secretaries to the commanders under whom they may serve. The Inspector general is tho bureau of information. The condition of the tioops nnd everything pertaining to their food, clothing and arms nre In vestigated by his department for tho benefit of the commander-in-chief. The Judge advocate Is the soldier lawyer. Military criminals are prose cuted by him, and ho Is the one who decides all legal questions. The commissary department buys nil the food for the army and works wit'i th quartermaster's department, thiough which the army receives Its clothing and shelter. The quartermas ter's department a'so takes care of the troops In transit, provides for all trans portation, furnishes horses, supplies and aunrters, and men who become ef ficient In tills department must have muen business capacity The names of the medical and pay departments explain the functions of each. The ordnance department furnishes the army with nil Its fighting material. All ammunition, cannon and drear ms are passed upon and selected by this department. The Signal Corps has charge 0f all army telegraphs and telephones, nnd LOOKED LIKE RAW MEAT. Our baby's face and neck was all raw meat, nnd something awful to look at.
