Camp Alger, Dunn Lorlng, Va., Aug.
S3. The work of removing a part of
the troops from this place to Camp
Meado, at Mlddletown, was resumed
this morning after a cessation of a
few days. The members of the Third
(Virginia, which by rlcht belongs to
the Third dlvlson, are busily engaged
!n packing up their belongings and
rushing them In wagons to the depot
ut Dunn Lorlng. Tomorrow, In nil
probability, they, too, will be heading
for the other side of the Mason and
Dixon line. No other changes are now
contemplated, or In Immediate pros
pect. All are now aulte comfortably
settled here, and every move tends to
confirm the conclusion that our stay
here is not likely to be n short one.
This morning the corps of well sink
ers, who havo been hammering away
for dear life the past week In order
to find water at the rear of O and II
Htreets, were rewarded for their pains.
The well had reached a proper depth;
pipes were lowered and the pump put
in working order. This well now yields
twelve gallons of water a minute, and
will be used solely for and by the
Thirteenth. The stream Is expected to
be larger and the water to bo much
clearer when it Is used a while. If
this well meets the hopes of the boys,
nnd the expectations of those who sunk
it, It will prove an undoubted bless
ing to tho Thirteenth regiment. As it
is now, It takes a force of twenty men,
working all day, and using two four
mule teams, to keep the regiment
properly supplied. The water has to
be hauled a distance of nearly a mile.
TYPHOID INVESTIGATION.
The president has appointed three
commissioners, Majors Shakespeare,
Itecd, nnd Vaughn, of the surgeon
Keneral's ofllce, to Investigate the
causes of typhoid now raging In all
the camps, to suggest proper remedies
for the same, and to make a full re
port as to both of these points as
speedily as possible. The members of
the commission are now here, and are
Etvjng camp a complete and thorough
overhauling. It Is to be hoped that
their efforts will not be fruitless. They
will receive the blessings, not only of
the soldiers of the United States, reg
ulars and volunteers, but of every man
nnd woman In the country, if they can
do something worthy and tangible in
this matter. The hospital here Is now
nlmost filled with patients, the victims
of this scourge, and tho only thing to
be regretted Is that this commission
was not appointed sooner.
This morning a member of Company
B, of the Twelfth Pennsylvania, died
nt Division hospital of typhoid, this
making the twelfth death that regi
ment has had since April 21. In this
respect the Thirteenth has been more
fortunate, having had only four deaths
since we were called out, the early part
of spring.
Glad news has just been made pub
llr to the effect that the I'ennsylva
nians who, from any cause, are laid
up in division hospital, nnd who are
able to stand the trip, will be soon
moved from here to Philadelphia,
where they will be comfortably quar
tered in commodious hospthtys alid
where tho best of treatment will lie
given them. This move will be ap
preciated, for, in all truth, It must be
admitted that the men here fear that
division hospital Is only a little less
than death itself. They go to It as a
last resort, either because they cannot
help it, or because they are too sick
to be able to object. It Is run fairly
well acrordlng to the standard of such
military hospitals, but still It Is an
object of dread. It will be half the
battle against sickness and disease
when theso men, who are suffering
there, learn that they will be taken
to hospitals In Philadelphia, to be
cared for and attended to by more
loving, mora sympathetic hands.
the nisvrrsws this week.
Yesterday afternoon General Gobln
and staff reviewed tho First brigade
of the division, consisting of the First
New Jersey, Seventh Ohio and the
Sixty-fifth Nfw York. The men look
cd their best for the occasion, and made
a good showing. There were pres
ent besides General Gobln, Majors
Strong, Wright and Cooke, Captains
Page, Brooks and Calhoun, and Lieu
tenant Barnes. The review took place
on the old reviewing grounds where
President McKlnley saw the troops
pass last June, and presented a very
inspiring sight. The men marched
well and made a good Impression.
General. Gob.ln complimented them.
The review "of the Third brigade,
General Gobin's old command, In tho
National Guard and In thn Vnlnntr.r
army, will take place this afternoon
nt 5 o'clock. It was to have been held
ot 4 o'clock, but was postponed on ac
count of th heat. The regiments,
Eighth, Twelfth and Thlrteeenth, will
move from hero at 4 o'clock, and re
turn for supper immediately after tho
ceremony. The boys of tho three reg
iments are taking a great pride In the
event, owing to the fact that they
nre to pass under General Gobin's
-ttrltical eye, and intend to Klvo a
good account of themselves. General
Gobln Is today formally moving his
headquarters from brigade to division
headquarters.
In consequence of an order Issued
last night, First Lieutenant Itufus K.
Polk, aide-de-camp, was detailed as
acting commissary of subsistence for
the Third brigade in place of Edward
21. Hutchins, who has been ordered
to report at Tampa, Fla.
Private James J. Corbett. of C, was
brought to division hospital last night.
He has a. hitrh fever, but it is not yet
known if It Is typhoid.
HOWLEY IS NOT DEAD.
The private Martin Howley, of the
.Thirteenth, spoken of in the Washing
ton papers as dead, and burled yes
terday with military honors, Is Private
Martin Howley, of C, now confined to
the division hospital with typhoid fever,
fThere is no truth in the report. Your
correspondent Eeea Mr. Howley occa
sionally. Ho is rapidly Iregalnlng
trngth, and there Is no doubt what
soever of h.s recovery.
Lieutenant Johnson, of 'A', is officer
of the day: Lieutenant Foote, of D,
officer of the guard; J. A. Lovelace, of
SI, sergeant of the guard; Lona Day, of
D; K. .V. Jones, of 13, and Hurry Ben-
dcr, of F, corporals. Orderly, Isaac
Mills, ot II.
Private Robert Morning, of F, was
called homo yesterday evening by tho
sickness of his brother.
Company G's sick list was reduced
by live this morning. It has no serious
coses on the list at present.

Sergeant Clarenco Lathrope, of C, Is
In Washington today, visiting his aunt,
Mrs. Kate Burt, of Tenth street.
Corporal Lewis Carter, of A, took
a trip recently to Fairfax court house,
this county, and spent a pleasant day
of It looking over the record. He saw
Washington's will written in his own
hand, and occupying twenty-three
pages on tho records. The will has
attached to It a schedule of the estates
of the "father of his country," and
shows that ho owned land In Virginia,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, New
York and New Jersey, in nil vnlued by
himself at $530,000. An Interesting fea
ture of the will Is that the great pa
triot designated certain estates and,
with wonderful sagacity and foresight,
picked them out as valuable or not
valuable according as they would be
likely, or not, in time to come. Tho
oldest records go back to 1742, thirty
three years before tho Revolutionary
war. The writing Is In the old English
style, nnd was done with the quill pen.
It Is still perfect In every detail.
Private Relneke, of A, was dis
charged last evening from Division
hospital and returned to duty In his
company. His case was measles. He
Is now pronounced all right.
Private James Williams, of C, re
turned from furlough last night. He Is
sick in quarters this morning, but will
bo all right In a day or so. He Is at
tended by Dr. Ulanchnrd.

In the regimental dispensary, but will

charged from regimental dispensary to
day and returned to his company for
duty.

They are going out again. This region
is well stocked with that particular
kind of game.
Private Patrick Whalen, of II, re
ceived a 'telegram from home this
morning notifying him of the sickness
of one of the members of his family.
He goes home on furlough today.
Privates Frank Williams nnd Jen
kins, of C, have left for home on a
thirty days' leave of absence. They
have Just been discharged from the
division hospital.

to get up for a few hours each day.
He took a relapse and Is now quite
weak.
Privates Martin Gannon and Martin
Duggan, of F, were today discharged
from regimental hospital, and are now
able to attend to duty.
Corporal Joseph Cleary, of D, would
not object to a consignment of good
tobacco.
The "Mallot and Zeldler Opera com
pany" of B, gave a concert last night
In front of their quarters. Corporal

Private iCharles Hamilton, i0f B,
was at the national capital yesterday.
Prlvato Vandermark visited friends
at Vienna and Round Hill yesterday.
D is known as the "pie company."
Since the arrival of the new Myers
stove many of the boys have tried their
success at making custard pies. They
are Just the same as "mother used to
make."
Adjutant Walter Gunster, of the First
battalion, Is In Washington today.
There was some excitement In Com
pany A street tilts afternoon. Two of
the boys used their fists liberally on
each other, and were brought to the
guard house. They resumed hostilities
there, and one of the prisoners, fear
ing violence from the combatants, ran
up a tree which grows Inside the stock
ade. The incident created much mer
riment. The trouble was quelled and
the paclflco order to come down.

"I have been poisoned every summer
for years. Last summer the poiion came
out on me worse than ever before. I
would frequently be awakened during the
night by the itching. I would scratch
myself, but instead ot being relieved the
trouble spread to different parts of my
body. I tried various remedies which
people recommended to me, but none of
them ever helped me. I made up my
mind the poison could not bo cured un

at the head of the Second battalion
of tho Eighteenth Pennsylvania regi
ment from Fort Delaware. He was

The behavior of tho soldiers while
In Hartlsburg on leave of absence Is

THE WAR CORRESPONDENT
Somo of the Difficulties Ho Had to
Encounter During tho Santiago
Campaign
Kcnnett F. Harris In Chicago Record.
It would be of great convenience to
newspaper correspondents, and con
sequently of Immense benefit to tho
public at large, If generals conducting
campaigns would adopt a few simple
devces I have In mind, by means of
wh'ch the movements of the troops
could be more easily followed. As It
Is, the lack of system Is painful and
occasional inaccuracies In the descrip
tion of engagements result. Regiments
lire lonfount'ed one with another, the
best part of a division is sometimes to
tally Ignored, batteries are planted
where their commanders would never
have thought of looking for them, to
pography Is mixed up, and It Is not
seldom that tho whole Intent, plan and
tiurfse of a nxvement Is oulte mis
understood. It would simplify matters greatly If
In the first place the :commanders
would call the newspaper men into
their councils. They would In this way
have the benefit of some valuable ad
vice If they chose to ask for It; in any
case they would be paving the way for
reports of a battle that would agree to
seme extent. The plan of action hav
ing been decided upon, blue prints
showing the exact position of every
jeglmcnt and indicating by llights of
broad arrows the course Intended It
should take, noting the hour of advance
and tho strategic points In view, spelled
uniforT iy and correctly, could be fur
nished to each representative of the
pros, together with a paper of parti
colored pins. If previously the troops
were ntifred in distinctive uniforms
there would be nothing lacking. The
correspondent could go to the top of
some mountain peak with his field-glasses,
blue print and notebook and com
fortably nnd intelligently observe the
who'e thing.
When he saw a body of men with
green blouses nnd purple trousers
charging up a hill he would know be
yond the peradventure of a doubt that
men they were, and he would know
what regiment was hurrying to re-enforce
them If its members were clothed
in canary-colored overalls and pink
shirts. The advantages of some such a
plan as this are apparent. Owing to
the failure of the authorities to adopt
it the life of the correspondent during
the Cuban campaign was not one of
flowery ease. He was obliged to get
close up to whatever has been going on,
nnd sometimes he all unwittingly
stumbled into the thickest of the fight
without the melancholy satisfaction of
being able to fight back. He has been
obliged to traverse lonely trails sup
posed to be beset by hands of blood
thirsty guerrillas, to pass through
groves where keen-eyed Spanish sharp
shooters were, according to report,
nestling up among the cocoanuts, and
to sleep and eat as he could.
GETTING READY.
His troubles began at Tampa with
the selection of his outfit. There was
no one to provide him with a uniform
and equipment and to relieve him of
the embarrassment of choices, but
there were Innumerable experts on out
fit willing and anxious to help him.
When he arrived with his new pass
from the secretary of war crackling
In his breast pocket he was usually at
tired In some weird costume that he
had supposed to be the correct thing.
Then the veterans of two weeks who
had preceded him would gather about
him and give him hints.
"That lined coat will be of no earthly
use to you," one would tell him. "The
Cuban Jungle would tear It into rib
bons in no time. What you want Is a
Khaki Jacket like mine; cool, you see,
and plenty of pockets In It. And you
want to glvo those corduroy breeches
to a bell-bo and get a pair or two of
plain canvas overalls. Corduroys
would kill you In a tropical climate. T
notice you are wearing leggings; of
course there's nothing In the penal
code to prevent you wearing them ex
cept constructively. It's suicide, that's
all. Did you ever see a picture of Go
mes in leggings' Of course you have
n't. Uools, by all means. That pith
helmet will slmrly make you a shining
and an easy mark for every Spanish
sharpshooter. A plain army hat with
a puggaree is the sensible thing,"
Then they would take him down Into
tho untidy town and make him buy a
thousand or two "absolute necessities,'
of which I remembered only a few, to
wit: One largo clasp knife for cutting
kindling wooo and general purposes; a
hunting knife In a sheath; portable
medicine chest, with strap to hang to
person; pocket spirit stove; another
knife, having corkscrew, gimlet and
saw attachments; canteen, with strap;
tleldghipses, with strap; writing case,
with strap; combination knife, fork
and spoon; pocket flask; haversack;
cartridge belt; unother belt with snaps
on It handy to hang things on and a
few th'ngs to hang on It; pocket com
pass; revolver; flint nnd steel, with
tinder box: cholera tablets, mt con
tained In medicine chest; bouillon cap.
sules and abdominal bandages. Then
they would take their victim, load him
down with his "portables" and photo
graph him.
HORSES SCARCE.
Of course everybody brought tents,
camp chairs, cot and cooking utensils,
but they never found their way to the
front. There waa no transportation for
them; no horses or mules could be ob
tained at any price. For a time in
fact, for most of tho time every man
had to carry his blanket roll about with
him wherever he went. Tho Record
correspondents, however, were particu
larly fortunate. Major Brodlo of the
Rough Riders, who was disabled by his
wounds In the first fight, was kind
enough to lend mo ono of his horses,
and at Slboney a day or two after Mr.
Malcolm McDowell succeeded In pro
curing a horse. He got up very early
in the morning to do It and he said
nothing of his Intention before he start
ed, A little beforo daybreak ho return
ed triumphantly leading Roslna by a
rope that looked as If It had been hur
riedly cut. Roslna stood about eight
hands high nnd might have scaled 165
pounds. She was haggard and had
dark rings under her eyes and she was
evidently suffering from a catarrhal
affection but she was undeniably a
horse. Mr. Blllman and I inspected
her carefully nnd we both came to
that conclusion. I must say In Justice
to Mr. McDowell, that he never at
tempted to ride her It would have
been madness but Roslna packed his
blanket roll and two cans of corned
beef and two of tomatoes to the front
that day and never stnggered.
Then after the sack of El Caney Mr.
Blllman obtained a mule, with the sad
dle nnd bridle complete, so that we go
along pretty well. Our first camp In
the field was near Gen. Shaftcr'a-head-quarters
by the side of tho road. Here
we fastened two nrmy blankets to
gether with safety plns.strotched them
over a little ridge pole and pegged
the coroners Into the ground. This
kept the dew off fairly well, but It
wus far from rainproof, nnd we wrote
our "copy" under difficulties when tho
weather was wet. Our account of
the engagement of July 1 was written
us we sat, wrapped In our rubber coats,
In about three inches of water, with
little streams pouring from above
trickling down our devoted necks, and
spattering from our hat brims on the
paper. As for food, we had excellent
hardtack and fine, fat bacon, washed
down with an Infusion of roffee beans
in hot water. Once there was a brief
season of plenty, when we reveled In
canned oxtail soup and deviled ham.
MOVING CAMP.
After a few days our camping place
became crowded with wagons and wo
decided to move. We selected a beauti
ful spot under a great tree a few yards
from tho banks of a tributary of the
San Juan. Five minutes after we had
moved some wagons dtovo up und the
teamsters began unloading tents. Gen.
Shatter had decided to move nlso, and
he had picked out the same place. We
got nlong pretty well, however, nnd
except for a propensity for borrow
ing candleswhlch he never returned
Gen. Shatter was not n bad neighbor.
THE AMERICAN WAY,
From the Loidon Chronicle.
Tho war Is practically at an end. The
American boats aro soon to resume their
running to Southampton; the Spaniards
evidently are only playing at not being in
a hurry- about the peace lurms. It has
been cno of tho shortest wars on rccurd.
The rreMdent sent his ultimatum to
Spain on April 20. Tho American ainbat.
sador to Spain received his passports on
tho following day. This makes Httlo over
three months, in that tlmo the Amerl
cuns have destroyed two fleets and, In
fact, totally annihilated tho sen power of
their enemy. They have captured two
great ports. They have defeated tho
.Spanish troops in tho field, and have
taken a provlnco and thousands of pris
oners. Above all, they have Improvised
thd army with which they did this part
of tho work. Not bad for the Interval
between rent day nnd rent day! The
manner of this Improvisation is a strik
ing vlndlcatlcn, In t,omo ways, of tho
American system. Most ot the troops
who swarmed up the slopes at Santiago
nnd captured Intrenched positions held by
seasoned troops and swept by artillery
wero mere untrained butchers, bakers,
and candlestick makers at tho beginning
of the war. When they went Into camp
at Tampa they wero the rawest of raw
hands. Many of their officers wero pro
bably very littlo better. Their commis
sariat was a practical Joke. Transport,
medical service, all had to bo created.
Tho chief part of their equipment was
their Bplrlt ns fioo men, their general in
telligence, their lifelong habit of turning
their hands and their brains to anything,
and to master it at uncommonly short no.
tlce. In one woid. they had nothing Kt
their back but the system; and their
whole military organization is based on
the belief that, with this, they have tho
wherewithal for the ruggedest hour that
time and spite can bring against their
country In tlmo of danger.
