a THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1898. HERO OF EL CANEY ASSUMES COMMAND QEN. YOUNG NOW IN CHABGE OP THE FIRST DIVISION. Question of Probable Punishment to Eunawaya Discussed nt Length. Corporal lona B. Day In Chargo of Squad That Is Sent Out to Arrest Absentees General Oobln Is Not In Good Health Sergeant Pas chalis Promoted. Special to Ibo Scranton Tribune. Camp Meade, Mlddletown, Va., Sept. 14. Major General S. B. M. YounR, of the United States cavalry, and the hero of El Caney, with his right arm bandaged and In a sling, arrived here this evening, and, on tomorrow morn ing, will formally take command of the First division of the Second Army corps. General Gohln will then relin quish his position as acting division Keneral and resume charge of the Third brigade. A. Wilson Norrls, the efllclent adjut ant Keneral of the Third brlRade, is today receiving heartfelt congratula tions from all his friends, as ho has JURt received his commission ns cap tain. Ho will continue to discharge his duties us adjutant general of the brigade. The Two Hundred nnd Second New York arrived this afternoon. When the Fifteenth Minnesota, which Is to form the Third brigade with the ISighth nnd Thirteenth Pennsylvania, reaches here the First division will then be complete. A large consignment of heavy un derwear, new blankets and great coats nnd capes for tho Thirteenth has been received. This looks like a probable winter campaign In Pennsylvania, rather than In Cuba or Porto lllco. The Third battalion of the Sixteenth Pennsylvania, In command of Lieuten ant Colonel Rickart, left hero yester day afternoon for New York cltv, where It will take shipping Immediate ly for Porto 'Jtlco, them in due time to rejoin tho First and Second battal ions. On the way to the depot the men uere cheered loudly by soldiers and civilians, all of whom joined in bid ding farewell nnd wishing all kinds of good luck to the boys In blue. This Is the first body of troops to leave this camp for duty nbroad, and now speculation centers on the ques tion "Who will be the next to go?" It Is needless to say that the answer would be particularly interesting to the members of the Pennsylvania regi ments stationed here. AS TO ABSENTEES. The question of the probable punish ment to be meted out to those mem bers of the Thirteenth who left camp without leave or authorization con tinues to be discussed with greater In terest every day. The case of an ab sentee without leave Is not quite so In significant as it Is generally supposed to be, and, if any of those who are away are acting on this principle they will have a sad awakening. Tho mili tary law on this point Is plain and de cisive. Colonel Coursen and tho cap tains of the different companies, from which men are absent, are saying very little In regard to this, but, if indica tions fall not, they are determined to leave no doubt as to their position when the absentees return. The thirty-second article of the "Ar ticles of War" runs as follows: "Any soldier who absents hlmxelf from his troop, battery, company or detachment without leave from his commanding ofllccr, shall be punished as a court martial may direct." The punishment spoken of, and which it is lawful for a court-martial to Inflict, is absence without leave for more than two to ten days, Inclusive, $10 fine, ten days' con finement at hard labor, and reduction to the ranks If the offender be a non commissioned officer. If tho man be absent for more than ten nnd up to and Including thirty days he Is liable to a fine of $20, one month's confinement at hard labor, and reduc tion to the ranks In case of a non commissioned ofllccr. This, however, Is not tho most seri ous view of the case. Article 47 reads: "Any officer, or soldier, who, having received pay, or having been duly en listed In the service of the United States, deserts tho same, shall. In time of war, suffer death or such other pun ishment ns a court martial may direct: and, In time of peace, any punishment, excepting death, which a court mar tial may direct." The tenor and ef fect of this are quite plain, and ns a supplement to It follows Article 4S: "Every soldier who deserts the service of the TTnited States shall he liable to terve for such period as shall, with the time he muy have served previous to his desertion, amount to the full term of his enlistment; and such soldier shall be tried by a court-martial and punished, although the term of his en listment may have elapsed previous to his being apprehended and tried." TEN DAYS THE LIMIT. Under the "Articles of War" a man becomes a deserter, technically speak ing, when he Is absent, without leave, from his camp for a period of ten days, the days of his going nnd of his re turning being both included In this compilation. In order to make this point more practical, let us take a con crete example. On Wednesday. Sept. 7, the Thirteenth regiment was paid, and on tho following day men began to go home without leave. So, therefore, a soldier who left camp on Thursday, Sept. 8, must report here before next Saturday in order to prevent himself from being considered a deserter nnd liable to the punishment above indi cated by tho Forty-seventh and the Forty-eighth Articles of War. It Is not known what, If any, action Is contemplated for the apprehension and punishment of tho absentees; but It Is generally supposed that a sharp eye Is kept on themselves and on all their doings nt home. Many of tho men of the Thirteenth are quite Indignant at tho reports printed In the Philadelphia papers to the effect that those In camp are sim ply awaiting a favorable opportunity to leave camp and go home, This Is certainly a libel on the regiment and contains not one particle of truth. It first gives tho impression that the men are anxious to make a break for lib erty, and Intimates that u Is only the extraordinary vigilance of the sentries which keeps the men In line. This Is not the fact. Those of the Thirteenth who wanted to go home so badly have gone home; those who did not are still here, and have ample opportunity for leaving If they at all desired to do so. They pass In and out of the lines at all hours of the day and the evening, and ire not halted till taps; and It Is a well Known fact that any soldier, who Is disposed to leave camp and plans ac cordingly can cct beyond the limits of tho military authorities, regular or volunteer. The men of tho Thirteenth, remem bering all these facts, emphatically re sent the Insinuations printed In the pa pers of the city of Brotherly Love. They are not true, and tend to serious ly reflect upon tho discipline of the regiment and upon the good sense of the men In general. Tho time of leaving camp without permission has passed. The Issuing of furloughs nlso tends to reassure all, and those who have not et been homo will now have an opportunity to do so. TO AnttEST 11UNA.WAY3. Tho first definite movement In regard to apprehending nnd punishing those who are absent without leave from the regiment was begun last night. Pri vates Montague, Maglll and Hnrrlf, of T), struck Danville a few days ago, and, It Is reported, that two of them were placed under nrrest for some of fense or other. This being known here. General Gobln at once made ready to fire tho first gun of the cam paign. He Issued the following order, which Is really a military warrant, for the prompt apprehension and return to camp of the young men: Headquarters First Division, Second Army Corps, C.imp Mcude, MlddletuvMi, Pa., Sept. 13, 1S98. Special Orders No. S7. Tho commanding officer. Thirteenth rrg. Iment, Pcnnwylvanla Volunteer Infantry, Is authorized to send three enlisted men to Danville, Pa., for tho purpose of ar resting threo enlisted men of Company D, of that regiment, who nro absent with out leave and reported as being In that city.

The entire chargo for transportation will ho entered against the men arrested on tho next muster and payment roll. By command of Brigadier Generat Gobln. F. S. Strong, Assistant Adjutant Gen eral. Colonel Coursen lost no time In hav ing the order executed. Transportation was arraigned for late last night and on the first train this morning Corporal Lona B. Day, Corporal Joseph, Cleary, and Private Ralph Gregory, of D, left for Danville to carry out the Instruc tions received from General Gobln and from Colonel Coursen In regard to the arrest of the three men. Corporal Day Is In charge on account of his exper ience In such matters. Special attention Is called to the Inst cluuhe of General Gobln's order, that which makes the prisoners liable for the payment of the entire charges of transportation. This, of course, doc not Include what fine may be Imposed upon them by a court martial. As far as Is known no action has yet been taken to those absentees who are In and about Scranton. GENERAL GOBIN ILL. General Gobln was at division head quarters yesterday morning and at tended to some matters of more or less Importance. Later In the day he became 111 and took a short leave of absence. Itwasnotannounced where he went.but It was understood ut his headquarters that he had left for his home In Leban on as he was not feeling well. He Is expected to return In a day or two. Quartermaster Sergeant Paul de Paschalls, of company C, has received an unexpected promotion. He has been detailed for duty at the brigade com missary and was ordered to report there this morning. He will be the brigade commissary sergeant, will have a horse always at his disposal to car ry him back and forth and will receive a substantial increase In pay. Sergeant Paschalls Is an expert in this line and his services will be Invaluable at the brigade commissary, as they were to his company in position of quarter master sergeant. He is receiving the congratulations of all the boys, but especially those of company C. The many friends of Lieutenant Dodge, of E, who is in the City hos pital, nt Harrlsburg, will be glad to learn that he Is doing quite well.

Camp Meade, Mlddletown, Pa., Sept. 14. Major General Graham hns modi fied the army regulations to allow ten per cent, of the officers and men of the various regiments to be nway on five days' leave nt one time. Ordinar ily the number on furlough nt one time Is 5 per cent, and It Is thought that this change will relievo much of tho discontent among the men who want their discharge. General S. AI. B. Young arrived in camp today from Camp Wikoff with his staff and assumed command of the First division. The Two Hundred and Second New York arrived In camp to day and will be followed tomorrow by the Thirty-fifth Michigan nnd Fif teenth Minnesota. Major Charles R. Parke, of Scranton, who Is under arrest for neglecting to furnish descriptive lists of pntlenH sent to Philadelphia hospitals, has re tained General Gobln to manage his defense. There Is much sickness among tho men of the Fifteenth Pennsylvania regiment nnd all drills have b"en sus pended until they are better. The boys are suffering from malarial fever con tracted at Sheridan Point, where they were located before they came to thU camp. Orders were issued today forbidding general visiting of the hospitals. Rel atives and friends will be admitted dally between .1 and 5 p. m., on apply ing to the surgeon's ofilce. The order directing the Sixtli signal corps com pany to report at Montauk Point tb prepare to sail for Cuba has been re voked nnd the company will be re tained at Camp Meade. The absent-wlthout-leave men of the Thirteenth Pennsylvania regiment have returned and are accepting their punishment with good grace. The Twelfth Penn sylvania regiment turned in its ord nance stores today and will leave camp Friday to be mustered out. Large con signments of overcoats and blankets were received today for those regl ments.ordered to secure winter equip ment. Lieutenant Colonel Stevenson, First Delaware, tendered his resignation to day to Adjutant General Corbln. This leaves the regiment without a colonel or lieutenant colonel. Colonel Wlcker sham having resigned a week ago. Major Townsend Is in command, being the ranking officer. ECHOES OF THE WAR. Rev. R. A. McAndrew, of St. Mary's Catholic church, Wllkcs-Barre, Ijas re turned from Montauk Point, where he spent some time at the bedside of his brother. Lieutenant J. W. McAndrew, of the United States Regular Infantry. Concerning his experience there Father McAndrew says: "After several at tempts to locate my brother, as the gentleman of the bureau could tell me nothing, I was obliged to seek out one of the generals In command. Tho guard at the door was the most im portant man I ever met, und I con cluded from his treatment that I had committed a serious crime In ever ask ing to see the general. Finally after a wait of threo hours, I was admitted nnd to my relief found him to be a perfect gentleman. He gave me a pass which entitled me to the privilege of seeking my brother any place In the camp. Tho hospitals are so plen- NEW YORK HOTELS. The St. Denis Broadway and Eleventh St., New York.
