BpecJnl to the Scrnnton Tribune.
Canip Meade, Mlddlotown, Pa., Sept.
C Swimming In the Swoet Arrow
creek was positively forbidden to all
Boldlcrs this afternoon on nrcount of
certain nbuso of the privilege. Under
ndvlce of Major Clcnoral Graham the
provost marshal enforced this order
Ktrletly.
The Second battalion of tho Thir
teenth has been ordered to report for
fatigue duty tomorrow morning at
corps headquurters near Mlddlotown.
3t Is not known how lone It will have
to do duty there, but It Is expected
that It will be kept some time work
ing around the depot.
The report of the Philadelphia papers
this morning purporting to give the
x ofllclal lists of tin regiments to be re
tained and stating that the Thirteenth
would probably he one of those regi
ments, Is not leenrded hert as au
thoritative. General Gobln is not In
camp and neither Acting lirlgadier
General Hoffman nor Colonel Coursen
gives it credence. All is still In doubt.
Lieutenant Dodge, of Company E, of
Honesdale, was removed to n hospital
in Harrlsburg this evening. He Is suf
fering from fever.
Captain S. S. Derman, of Company
A, condemned the company's Issue of
liread today and ordered It to be thrown
out as unfit for them. Private Thomas
Coyse, of A, was removed this nfter
noon to division hospital. Private
Fred. Luther, of the Thirteenth, In
leaving for a thirty day furlough to
day, was oidered to report at Fort
McHcnry, Baltimore, on his return.
This seems significant, but no one
quite knows what It means.
ESTABLISHING- ROUTINE.
Camp life here Is beginning to as
sume the regular loutlne form. The
llrst few days spent In a new camp are
always hard and disagreeable; the sup
ply of food Is Insufficient ; water Is very
much needed; the men are almost over
tasked to exhaustion with details for
this and for that; and, to ndd to their
troubles, the trip from place to place,
nnd the sudden chrinfce in diet. In drink
ing water and In the air upset them
for a short time. This has been the
case with the troops now heio. These
are only 'the first impressions, which
will undoubtedly concct themselves In
u very short time.
. Taken nil in all, or considered from
any particular stondpolnt, tills place Is
far superior, as a camping ground, to
, nny locality which the men of tho Sec
ond Army corps have yet seen. The
climate Is healthful; the air is pure
nnd fresh; the water is good, and bath
ing facilities are near at hand; and the
surrounding country and the nearby
cities and prospeious town ought to ho
nble to furnish camp with even more
than the necessities of life. The coun
try abounds in nil kinds of vegetables
nnd fruits, which are sold quite rea
sonably. Permits have not yet been
regularly Issued, and, besides this, the
lioys are without money; but when tho
commissary is once enabled to issue
tho full supply of meat, potatoes, bread,
coffee nnd sugar, und when the milk
men and' fruit solleis are authorized to
enter tho grounds nnd the boys have
some money with which to buy occa
sionally what they consider delicacies,
It Is safe to predict that Camp Meade
will become popular with every soldier
here. It will be found that the men of
this corps wh(, ocmlnfr from every kind
of climate, lifavpii ilie rigors and tho
starvation of the first few weeks at
Camp Alger, without a word of com
plaint, will feel thankful and happy for
the change to Middletown.
GOBIN RAISES A STORM.
General Gobln arrived late Friday
night from Dunn Lorlng and had not
heen around very long this morning
till the conditions of the commlssaryde
partment came to his ears. Tho serious
complaints made by tho Twelfth, tho
bitter feeling In the Eighth, General
Gobln's own regiment, where the men
In one company, on account of sheer
iitnrvntlon, circulated a petition, signed
by all the men, stating their griev
ances and asking to not lie retained in
the service nny longer, and the action
of Company F, of the Thirteenth, which
company went In a body to Colonel
Coursen, asking for more food, nil
seemed to have been made known In
pome way to General Gobln, and upon
arriving at brigade headquarters and
finding no brigade commissary In oper
otion, he demanded an explanation and
wanted to know why the men are not
receiving better treatment. Tho gen
eral was highly Indignant and did not
fail to express himself In strong lan
Kuage which could not easily have been
misunderstood. Before leaving, he gave
the commissary officials and the bri
gade staff to understand that such a
etate of affairs would be expected to
be brought to an end forthwith.
As a result, things have been some
what on tho move ever since.
Division headquarters have been
opened at a farm house not far from
the Eighth and tne Thirteenth.
EXPRESSED THEIR THANKS.
The members of Company A, of the
Thirteenth, at a formal meeting for
the purpose of expressing their grati
tude to the "Pension Office Ladles' Re
lief association" for their kindness In
feeding the entire regiment nt Wash
ington last Wednesday evening, adopt
ed a letter of thanks, which was sent
to the ladles of the pension office.

Dear Madam; On behalf of tho mem
bers of Company A, Thirteenth Pennsyl
vania volunteer li.fnntry, we hereby de
sire to express our deep sense of gratitude
for the very elegant and substantial
lunch which you served us on Wednesday
vcnlntf, August 31, 1SS8, on our Journey
from Camp Alger, Va to Camp Meade,
Pa. Wo realize that a formal voto of
thanks from vs cannot adequately repay
your time, trouble. .Aacrlllcuid expense
In our behafnUt tfsVolrtlcrs We ore hap
py to dlficbarse no much of the obliga
tion as we can In this way.
What hardships, what fatigue, what
privation and what perils the soldier will
not cheerfully continue to bear bo long
as ho knows that back of him, at home
end all along the line all over our broad
domain, ho continues to receive these
magnificent tributes of respect and regard
from a grateful, big-hearted people!
Ladies of tho pension department, wo
thank you most heartily, not only for
what you did for us, but for what you
nro doing for nil soldiers. It was such n
pleasant surprise, and tho luxury of bo
tug seated at 'so bountiful a repast, su
perintended by such noblo and glorious
women, Implies us to tender this so posr
it token of our esteem and grateful
thanks. We remain, very sincerely your,

ORDERED PUBLICATION.
Resides sending this letter to Mrs.
Saunders personally, publication of It
was authorized In the Scrnnton Tri
bune and tho Washington Post. The
letter expresses concisely tho senti
ment of nil, nnd the members of tho
Thirteenth will always have a warm
regat d for the ladles of tho pension of
fice. This morning tho lines around every
reglmont In this division were very
tightly drawn and the soldier who now
has the temerity to go any distance
fiom Ids camp without u pass runs
the chance of being gobbled up by the
brigade sentries, or by patrols, which
are extending their Jurisdiction far
and wide. No enlisted man may now
go to the river for a swim without
written permission. This precaution
Is rendered necessary In order to pre
vent depredation nnd destruction of
property by heedless, hungry soldiers,
und to secure the government from
settling further clnlms.
Already some of tho cabbnge and
corn fields nnd orchards have been en
tered. It Is proposed to prevent this
for the future as the fields here are
yielding n rich harvest and will here
after be fully protected.
Along the road to. the Sweet Arrow
creek, several suspicious bundles of
feathers nro noticeable, but nil this
hns happened undoubtedly on account
of the want of food since the divi
sion came here. When he la hungry
a soldier's conscience Is Just about ns
elastic ns that of nny civilian. Tho
men were starving nnd simply helped
themselves to everything eatable which
was In sight. In tho Third brigade
each regiment furnishes the guard on
Its turn. The Thirteenth Is doing duty
today.
TOBACCO RECEIVED.
Friday night after supper the boys
of the Thirteenth were made glad by
the locelpt and distribution of a largo
consignment of smoking and chewing
tobacco and boxes of matches, tho gift
of tho American Tobacco company.
Tobacco Is the soldier's greatest relief
nnd especially now before pay day
when money Is unusually scarce.
The gongs and whistles of Steel ton
nnd Harrlsburg nro plainly audible
hero every morning nnd remind the
membeis of the Thirteenth of home.
As noted In yesterday's letter, a
corps color sergeant was needed and
the honor of furnishing one fell to
tho Thirteenth. The color sergeant will
be mounted nnd his whole duty will
consist In carrying the corps ensign
on all great occasions. The position,
which Is considered a sinecure and
quite an honor, fell to Quartermaster
Seigeant Robert Williams, of F, who
was named by Colonel Coursen. Ser
geant Williams is receiving the con
gratulations of his many friends In the
regiment. He will report at once at
corps headquarters for duty.
Lieutenant Decker, of F, Is officer of
the day; Lieutenant Varroc, of E, of
ficer of the guard; Scott L. Shafer. of
r, sergeant of the guard; Joseph
Cienry. of D, George Ross, of A. nnd
William Derrhlmer, of E, corporals.
Private William Meyers, of A, Is regi
mental orderly. Richard J. Bourke.
THREE DEATHS IN CAMP.
Many of tho Soldiers Will Be Sent
Home This Week.
Camp Meade, Middletown, Pa., Sept.
C. Three deaths occurred today at
Camp Meade. Private John N. Calf rey,
Company G, Ninth Massachusetts, died
In tho Second division hospital of In
testinal trouble, and Private Andrew
Schroff, Company D, Fourth Missouri,
and Private John Murray, Company G.,
Third Missouri, In the Red Cross hos
pital, of typhoid fever.
There are twenty-eight cases of fev
er In the Sixteenth Pennsylvania bat
talion contracted at Chlckamauga nnd
the hospital surgeons are unable to
determine whether It Is typhoid or
malarial. The Sixth Pennsylvania were
paid this afternoon. The companies of
this regiment outside of Philadelphia
will be sent home on a thirty-day fur
lough. The original Slate Fenclbles
battalion, which was attached to the
regiment when It was mustered In at
Mount Gretna, will be sent home to
Philadelphia tomorrow. The Thirty
third nnd Thirty-fourth Michigan
started this morning for Island Lake
nnd the Seventh Illinois, Third Mis
souri nnd Twenty-second Kansas ex
pect to get away within the next forty
eight hours.
The One Hundred and Fifty-ninth
Indiana received orders a week ngo to
be mustered out, but the colonel can
not get his papers In shape. Arrange
ments have been made by Major Rlch
utdfon, keeper of the state arsenal, to
supply the Pennsylvania troops with
Ice. Senator C. L. Magce has ordered
a ton of ice dally for tho Fourteenth
and Eighteenth regiments. Colonel
William A. Stone will supply tho
Twelfth; Colonel Ezra H. Ripple, of,
Scrnnton, the Thirteenth; Senator
Quay, the Eighth nnd Sixteenth, and
Secretary of the Commonwealth Mar
tin, and the Terry Eyre, the Sixth.
First Lieutenant Guy W. Morrison,
Twenty-second Kansas, will be tried
by court-martial Wednesday for al
leged desecration of tho graves of Con
federate soldiers, near Thoroughfare
Gup. Morrison will be defended by a
Kansas lawyer, who Js en route to
camp. The court had under consider
ation today the case of Private Charles
L. Kerr, One Hundred and Fifty-ninth
Indiana, against whom chatges of in
subordination have been preferred by
Major Lowden.
LETTER FROM PORTO RICO.

Boy, Writes to His Parents.
Porto Rico, Aug. 22, 1S0S.
Dear parents and brother I Just re
ceived your letter dated Aug. C, lS'JS,
and was very glad to hear from home,
and to learn that you were all well.
The boat Mohawk landed us here nbout
three weeks ago, and we are still here
and nllvo after a battle. But I can
assure you it Is not very nlcu to go
out In a field where you can hear tho
bullets whiz by you like so many flies.

were very tired when It ended, as we
had marched ull day when 11. com
menced nnd lusted about three hours.
The Spaniards fought good till we got
our gattllng guns Into use, and the
artillery which they couldn't stand,
nnd they broke nnd rnn like white
heads. You can better believe that It
made us feel good to see them run.
Wo marched over n bridge that was
charged with dynamite, but It fnlled
to explode as we marched over It. I
received three and a half Spanish dol
lars for n two-dollar bill, and gave one
of them to ZIba Hinds and still have
one dollar and twenty cents left. We
nre now encamped on a hill where the
mud Is six Inches deep, nnd I can tell
you It Is no fun to Ho down In this
mud to sleep, and with a stone for a
pillow. We haven't had any work to
do since the battle, except to get wood
nnd wnter nnd do guard duty. I was
on guard yesterday from 11a. m. to 1
n. m. Was guarding seven mules, one
horse, two ox carts and a wagon. I
was relieved at Intervals of two hour's,
but there was not much chance to
sleep or rest, us there were six In the
tent that night and It was so crowded
that one could hardly got your head
Inside the tent, not saying anything
about lying down. Today I went down
to draw a pair of shoes and the first
thing beard was: "H company, get
your mail." Tho first letter was for
me, and you bet It did not take me
long to get it. I sat down by the sldo
of the rond und devoured every bit of
its contents, even to the backs of the
Items that you enclosed.
Wo have plenty of thunder storms
here as it rnlns everyday and is muddy
all tho time. You can better believe
when wo are discharged from service
I will bo homo where I can sleep In a
good, clean bed once more, and be In
troduced to a pair of springs once
again. Porto Rico may be rich, etc.,
but It is no place for me. You have
to nearly subsist upon the fruit, nnd
It nil gives me the cramps nnd I can
not eat It, much tp my regret ns It Is
very nice, consisting of bananas,
oranges, lemons nnd mangoes (the lat
ter being something like nil ornnge).
The principal thing they raise here Is
coffee. Wherever one looks you can
see coffee trees. Talk nbout Cuba for
poor people, It is not as bad, I don't
think, as Porto Rico. When we nro
eating here there nre two beggars to
every soldier. They nil have" a tomato
can or a tin can of some kind, nnd
will stnnd In front of one till they get
what Is left (If any). There was one
old looking man with a straw hat on
with no crown In It and his trousers
rolled up to his knees thnt stood In
front of our tent one day and looked
so wishful that we divided up with
him nnd It was a sight to see him eat.
He went into it with his hnnds nnd
ncted ns If ho was nearly starved to
death. There Is also a very few peo
ple here that are educated to some ex
tent nnd know enough to salute you
whenever they see you and can con
verse with you.
Private John Reynolds nnd I went
across the country about two miles
yesterday to get some sugar to cat on
our hard-tack. We secured some sugar
but lost our dinner by the trip. The
sugar heto Is very brown nnd Is not
refined, tastes like molasses. We
stopped on our way after the sugar at
a farmer's and asked for a drink,
which he gave us along with some
bananas and saltflsh, but we could not
eat the fish, but we met a boy with
bananas which he sold us three tap
a cent. Wo purchased ten cents'
worth, nnd they were good, and which
made our dinner, but I longed for a
little of Pennsylvania's good milk to
eat on them. You asked me the name
of our captain, It Is Mansfield. There
were only two men killed In the battle
and several wounded. Our company
was right to tho front, but our cap
tain was very cool-headed. We lay
under a hill, Just at one sldo of our
big guns, and when they went off they
scared us more than It would to have
been hit. Not a man In our company
was hit. I enclose you a piece of the
Spanish flag and I wish you would give
Frank Warren a piece of It. I think
from reports that I will bo home to
eat Turkey with you on Thanksgiving
Day, nt least I hope so. They say
that If wo are discharged here on the
island we will have to pay our own
fare home, which will be pretty hard
to do. I think I can do It If I do not
owe the government too much for
clothes. It Is necessary for us to be
In the service bIx months to get forty
eight dollars' worth of clothing. We
have only been In two months and
have twenty-four dollars charged up
against us, and the Lord only knows
what they will compel one to buy next.
We expect to move camp Into a near
town about eight or nine miles from
hero soon, and then wo will lie In the
barracks, where It will be much bet
ter as we will all have bunks to sleep
on. .
I haven't seen ZIba Hinds since the
battle, but I have heard from him. He.
ns well as tho pest of the bovs from
Factoryvllle, are all well, and I am
feeling better than of late. I was
down t the doctor's twice and got
some army pills, but they did not help
me uny, but I can eat now again and
guess will tough It through this time,
and If I ever get home again and get
my discharge you can bet war and I
will have a farewell, for you can bet
I have had enough.
Trusting this will find you nil well,
I remain as ever, your loving son,
Samuel C. Reynolds,

Army corps, Porto Rico.

LABOR MY
IN SCRANTON
Concluded from Page 3.
Wllkes-Barro Coal company, In the
most withering terms of contempt, and
said that even tho most Intellectual
of tho miners and men In other
branches of labor felt so revengeful
over what they said was murder that
they planned to burn tho city of Haz
leton. The speaker said that he and
other heads dissuaded tho men from
their purpose.
JUSTICE TRAMPLED UPON.
Justice was trampled under foot In
the trial nt Wllke)-I3arre, Mr. Spauld
Iiir alleged. He said hs referred to
this nnd reviewed the Lattlmer shoot
ing In order to show the Immense
money power back of the coal com
panies and Sheriff Martin, a power
that could have been overcome If tho
miners had been organized.
Lack of n sufficient organization to
compel legislators to legislate as they
are directed, makes a lie out of tho
statement thnt this Is a representative
form of government. "A blgiror He was
never told," said Mr. Spauldlng. "ThA
government Is controlled by the money
represented In n rndlus of 500 feet
about the United States treasury build
ing In Wall street. Ours Is a govern
ment controlled by monopolies."
The meeting closed at 3.1J o'clock
but most of the crowd remained In
the park until quite late In the after
noon. In the evening there was n veritable
Jam In the park. Although the Scrun
ton Railway company made use of all
lt3 extra cars and those that could
be spared from regular service on
other lines, the supply wnt Insufficient.
Each carload tontalned ns many per
sons standing ns were seated. There
were more women nnd girls nt the pnrk
during the nftcrnoon nnd, ns caller
In the day, tho dancing nnd other at
tractions kept the most of tho crowd
away from the speech-making.
From twelve to fifteen hundred per
sons, however, heard the addresses.
P. J. Thomas presided. The meeting
wns opend with music by the Lawrence
orchestra. Vocal selections by the
Tennis quartette, of tho West Side,
were Included In tho programme
Mr. Thomas made a brief address.
He remarked upon the day's brilliant
success, n token, he said, of the strides
made by lnbot In Scranton. Mr. Thom
as devoted much of his time to com
ment upon the recent determination of
Scranton woodworkers and joiners to
boycott all jobs on which foreign made
material, material made in oth'ir cities,
is used.
ATTORNEY CONROY'S TALK.
Attorney M. F. Conroy, of this city,
wus tho first speaker. He said the elo
vatlou of labor began with the ndvent
of our Redeemer. His mission w.is to
give all people tholr rights, but espec
ially the common people. Organized
labor had during lvcent years per
formed a similar office, had strlved to
elevnto and had elevated the laboring
people.
Labor's work to bo everlasting should
not begin and end with itself. It
should have to do with education,
love, patriotism and humanity all
these becauso labor affects every Inter
est of American humanity. Thar the
humanity of this country Is composed
of so many parts, was shown, ho said,
In making Cuba free.
Secretary-treasurer White, of the
National Garment Woikers' associa
tion, was then introduced and made a
thoughtful and Interesting address.
C. Ben. Johnson In an Introductory
way had something to say about or
ganized female labor. He made tho le
ference In a graceful manner and made
it a happy Introduction to his speech.
He urged worklngmen not to count on
the conversion of politicians and bus
iness men. "Ho who would bo free
must himself first strike the blow,"
Mr. Johnson reminded his hearers.
By striking In unity victory would bo
found to come quickly. It Is already
being felt by tho United States su
preme court, a body not yet dlroctly
petitioned by labor, nnd that court has
bhown Its knowledge of tho existence
of a body of nearly 1,000,000 labeling
men. The supreme court of Utah de
cided an appeal In favor of that state's
labor organization which ought to up
hold tho 8-hour law. The Utah court's
opinion was sustained by tho supreme
court of the United States. It was
ruled that while a corporation could
not ns buch be Imprisoned, It could
be made to pay the prescribed penalty
as far as It is physically possible.
That opinion If showed to legislators
nt Harrlsburg would get what new
legislation Is needed along the 8-hour
lines.
If the miners were organized here
now as they were from 181$ to 1875, Mr.
Johnson said, there would be no Lattl
mer. It Is not only In labor's Interest
to organlzo the miner but It Is in !n
bor'b power. Wherever labor organiz
ation is best there the remuneration
is the highest and their peace Is most
apparent.
"It has been stated hero that you can
not trust the politician. You can trust
hlin but every one of you must be a
politician," said Mr. Johnson In con
clusion. FOR A CHANGE OF VENUE.
Jennings Case Will Come Up in
Wilkes-Barre Tomorrow.
The hearing on the petition for a
change of venue In the ease of John
G. Jennings against the Lehigh Val
ley Railroad company will take place
tomorrow in WIlkes-Barre before Judge
Woodward to whom tho matter was
certified by Judge Gunster on petition
of the plaintiff.
Major Warren, representing the com
pany, will oppose tho change of venue.
