One of the pleasant surprises of camp life came off down on F street this evening, just after dress parade, and, before the companies were dismissed, MaJ. Whitney came strolling along be tween the ranks of F, and, calling Capt. Viall to him, began pointing out some fancied defects in the appearance of the boys. Capt. Viall was all atten tion to the major and all inattention to what Btrrdette Thayer, the popular s' rgeazrt major of F, was about until Burdette had liegun to deliver the best tatlon sp.^eoh that has been heard in the park. Sergeant Major Thayer suid: Capt. Viall: I, as a member of Company P, I say as a member of C-mpnny F becaui-e I have been, in my own irmd, both unable and unwilling to divorce myself from your command, so I. as a member of your ocm pany at i:* :!>, mbers' request and upyn their to now say a few words to you. . Human affections are mes' difficult to rle ■cribe, and partd-ularly difficult to describa la th.it human affeetton called brotluriy love. So word of mowth thst I ran utter can rle srribe t : yi. i! the feeMnes and sentiments of erteem and i>: ttaerly aff«'Uon that exists in th« brrasts of every one of your company here tonight.

UPON ALL • i iiwit hotf i I LUnu Ulu!nlil)L;; | : CONNECTIONS. I of us felt equal to the delicate tsak. After acme consideration we have devised a pan by which we hope to show you to a slight £• gree our emotions. We, as a company, have secured an em blem, a sword, which— Oapt. Viall— allow me on I* half of your company to now pres nt ti you. Take it, captain, as an enrvblrni of our emotions whlrh wo are unable by worda t> describe; take it as a token of our apprecia tion of your meritorious efforts in our behalf. T»ke it, raptnin. and wear it. and If evtr op portunity affords itself In which our :om puny is called to the front to fight for our country's Honor, and if ever Company F is oidered to make a charge we know that amidst tho whizzing bullets and burstng shells, the smokp and din of battle, we will see that sword glittering in the bright sun shine at the head of the column and thit 1 s brave bearer will be among the very first to surmount the enemy's redoubt. And. captain, after the storm between na tions is over, mid the turbulent waves are rgain calm, and your company is di-bandrd ond scattered, and after yeara have rolL-d away, we bid you a^ain take that sword— :rat emblem of our esteem — and we bid you turn 'back on the stroll of time to the year IS9B, and to then think of the boys who were in your company — the boya who respected, es teemed, honored and loved you. After which he presented Capt. Viall with one of the handsomest swords that Lilly manufactures. It Is certain ly an exquisite piece of workmanship. The handle and scabbard are covered with massive emblems and figures. A line sword belt with all the modern at tachments accompanied It. Capt. VialKs surprise was complete. He could only murmur his thanks In a way that his hearers knew came from his heart. With three rousing: cheers and a tiger for Capt. Viall, the boys Something over a year ago he rejoined the St. Paul Camp No. 1, Sons of Veterans, and was elected first lioutenant. The camp elects officers annually, and he was re-elected at the annual meeting in February. Lieut. Daly did much towards organizing Cotiioany L before they took the field, and his long service in the guard has made him one of the best drill officers in 'the service. ! !?u has resided in the Ninth ward for ten years, and is well known throughout lha city. were dismissed. The sword was pro n< unced a beauty by every one who saw it, from the two colonels down to the ranks. The following companies had rifle prac tice yesterday: M, L, F. X and D. The boys shot at 200 yards and made a good showing generally. Company M detail, under Sergeant F. J. Evans, first squad: Corporal Mudge. Suther land, Andrews. Olsen. Tyler; second squad: Headley, Hubbard. Hoevert. Myers, Scovel; third squad: Dutcher. Norton, Counter, Schrador, Taylor. The boys in M detail made up a purse of >2 for the one making the best score, and $1 to one making second best. This lent a little additional excitement to the shooting. i Taylor won first money, Andrews and Norton ' lied for second money.

Editor Halvorson, wife and Miss Hope Hal | vorson started on the return trip home to- I day. They have enjoyed a pleasant visit with I Private Halvorson. of Company I. It begins to look as if some of the boys in ' tr-<" park were going to see action somewhere i before they go home. Chaplain Clemens and Surveyor Rowe are at Chattanooga today. The chaplain took down over $4,500 of the boy's money to be converted into drafts which wIU be sent home. Fully $20,000 of the Twelfth regiment's moiiey will find its way to Minnesota. REGIMENTAL COURT. Wine men were up for trial today, July 7, before the regimental field officers' court. Lieut. Col. MeCoy is acting clerk of the court, attorney and judge. The charge varies from absence from duty without leave to disobey ing orders, and sentences were from $3 fine to $5 fine and ten days In the guard house. One man was fined $10 straight. The' disci pline of the Twelfth Is good, as compared with some regiments. These cases were^most | ly the result of pay day and the' Fourth of July and Schley's victory arriving about the same time. It created such a head of steam on soma of the boys that something I had to give way. FLAG FROM AUSTIN. Company G, Austin, received a handsom* 1 flag today, July 7, Bent them by the children ; of the kindergarten, the private and the nor mal schools of Austin. It is one of the best ■■ constructed company flags seen here, and is the second best one made by the Cincinnati Kega'.ia company this year. It was purchased I by donations of the scholars' Fourth of July j money, and for that reason Is doubly appre i elated by the boys. Capt. Wood made a neat I speech to the boys as it was unfurled, and accepted the flag formally for the company. Tne boys confined their enthusiasm to a storm of hand-claps. It is against orders to cheer in the Twelfth, so they had to content themselves by bruising the cuticle of their palms. The flag will be sent home, and will | await G's coming there. Col. Bobleter expects a new stand of colors for the Twelfth, presented by the citizens of New Ulm. Thoy will arrive the 10th Inst. Cook Kelly, of M, had a serious time last I night. He was seized with convulsions and j the sick call rang out from the bugles in such j a way that it aroused up everybody. Sur geon Rowe responded immediately and after i working with him for some time brought ; him out all right.

A (hn-k foir fjtlo7Tleoeive«l From the People of Klmore. Special Correspondence The St. Paul Globe. OAMP THOMAS, July 6.— Everything was very quiet here on the Fourth. We hardly knew it was the Fourth. The usual routine Is going on, except that we have a little target practice. Several regiments moved away from here yesterday for Santiago, but we have not yet received any orders. Still, we are expecting them anxiously every day. Private Claude B. Miner was transferred back again to his old company, M, from Company E. At Camp Ramsey the com panies were reduced to eighty-four men and as we had too many, he was obliged either to return home or to enlist in another com pany, so he chose to enlist in Company E. But now since we lost Private Wallace Hurd, he is able to take his place back again In Company M, and when he made his appear ance in the company street he was received with open arms, for he hus proved himself to be a good boy. When we returned from regiment drill this morning at 9 o'clock we were met by twenty four new patriots, who had come all the wtiy from Blue Earth City. Wells. Wlnn&bago City and other places to join Uncle Sam's boys. Wo were quad to see such a nice lot of men and we did everything possible to make thorn feel at home. Their names are: Enoch E.

Sometime n"o he became overheated while on drill, and has since then suffered almost continually with severe headaches, and haa been unable to cut scarcely anything. It Is a sacrifice for him to give up, as he likes army life first rat" but prudence bids him quit. Capt.

Special Correspondence The St. Paul Globe CAMP THOMAS. Ga., July 6. -There was considerable excitement in the camp at the Fourteenth this afternoon. Three boys from the First Pennsylvania came over with the intention of getting beer from the canteen of this regiment. They were met by S-rgeant Gundloek. of Company L. who was sergeant of the guard. He told them not to cros3 the lines, but to return to their regiment. The three Pennsylvania bussers went back a little wa>-3 and tried to cross the lines a couple of posts farther from the guard house than before. But Sergeant Gundlock had k-?pt his eye on them, and had them halted by the Bentinels. He then commanded the prisoners to march to the guard house, which they re fused to do. Sergeant Gundlock called for the guard to fall in and march and get the prisoners. The boys on guard were laying around the guard tent with their suns a'l p.aced in the gun rack. But within five; minutes they had formed, fixed bayonets and marched at a double time to surround the prisoners. When they found themselves sur rounded with the guards at a charge bayo nets position, they were willing to march to the guard house. But when they arrived at the guard house one of them again refused to enter. The sergeant then ordered a coupl? of men to force him in, which was done easily, although creating considerable excite ment and accumulating quite a crowd. They were turned over to their regimental guard to await their trial. The charge is refusing to obey authorities, and Is a serious one. Tonight there will be an entertainment given by the Y. M. C. A. and the First Penn sylvania regiment. It will be well attended and will no doubt interest the boys a great deal. To show what kind of entertainment can be given here the programme is given- March Semper Fide.is First Pennsylvania Regimental Band William E. Chapln, Chief Musician!

Breezy and Interesting Letter Abont the Son* it I Veterans. Special Correspondence The St. Paul Globe. CAMP THOMAS, July 6.— Company L. boys were elated last week thinking that by thl3 t'rae that we would have been well on our way to Cuba or Port»> Rico, tut since the rie tory at Santiago they begin to think that Spa. will Bive.-wv. and feel rather sorry to think that the JTwelfth Minnesota will have ko chance to s&tfw what the boys of the North Star state are made of. Sunday waa flby day, and all of the boys aro happy. "Wander what made so many of our non commissioned officers get home so la,:e from Chattanooga Monday night?" somebody asked Jack Clarke. Sergeant Harry Crego arrived here with twenty-four recruits for Company L. Sunday morning the recruits looked well after the Journey, but we have all been wond«rlng v/hat the people of <St. Paul did to Crc-go, such a wild and woolly appearance as he pre sented. Ttwo big revolvers, a belt full of cartridges, a bo-wte knife a foot long, and a rather unkempt appearance. Actually, when he turned into the company street every REV. P. J. HART. \ When the war began Rev. P. J. Hart, who had been po3t chaplain at Fort Snelling for four years, was assigned to duty by the war department at Washington wiih the Third watch in L stopped dead, and no one has been able to find out the correct time since. But, nevertheless. Harry Is all O. X.. and the recruits all say that Sergeant Crego is the best-hearted fellow in Company L, and pro jected him with a "handsome testimonial tor his kind and generous trea:mcnt cf them oa the journey from St. Paul to the camp. Company L is a record breaker. "We get more orderlies than any company iv the regi ment Capt Hennlnger and First Sergeant Shi-k have been out in the woods, having revolver I practice. It's great fun to see them examla- | ing the worm holes In a rotUn log snd imag- I ining they made them with their trusty re- | volvers. Won't Billy Gerlach kindly t=ll U3 who b nt. him and Sergeant Barber all those good thlng3 from St. Paul. But then, they chuecl with us just the same. Jack Clarke says the trial of his life has i just begun on account of having to break in j tho recruits brought here by Sergeant Crego. ] One of our new recruits speaks Spanish | fluently and the boys are all taking lessens. You ought to see the expression on Sergeant Crego's face when he tries to pronounce some of the words. Here is one that beats- '.he story that came from the New York r?gi ment some time ago. Over in the Souih i Carolina the corporal of the guard was psst- I ing a relief; the night was very dark, ani the J sentry hearing him coming called cut the usual challenge: "Halt! Who's there?" Just then the corporal tripped and fell, with I the exclamation, "Oh, Lord," when, quick as j a flash, the sentry called loudly: "Turn out the parson, hsre come 3 the | Lord." Lieut. George T. Drake is in command cf j Company L today on account of the absence j of Capt. Henninger, who is in ChEt;anoo?a. Lieut. Daly is a success as a range officer, I and the boys are making soiua excellent j Ecores. Guard detail for today: Sergeant Drake, Pri vates Page, Dunn and Crisler. Guard detail for tomorrow: Privates Jackson, L'rdgen, ■ Redmond, Wallace, Dosch, Bauman and Cro fot; in charge of quarters, Corporal Llnne. At present we are enjoying another rain, for which the boys are thankful, as the dust was getting rather trouhlf&ome on drill. Capt. Roy Vlall, of Company F, was pre sented with a handsome swerd by the fn listed men of his company, as a token of the | esteem in which they hold him. It was a handsome tribute to one highly deserving of it, as Capt. Viall does everything in his power to make It comfortable and peasant for his men. One of our recruits today asked one of the non-commiESioned om-cera if he could give I him a life preserver, and when askrd whit, he wanted of it, he said he had a rsoueat to make of our quartermaster sergeant, and from a former experience he thought It v#:ll to be on the safe si?e. Sergeant Crego will transfer to the signsl corps in a few days, and while the change will be a promotion for the sergeant, we are all sorry to lose him, ard Jack Clarke &r.ys if he leaves that he will sue Crego for divorce. | Oh, say, get onto Corporal Linne's new sus penders. You can actually hear them. Regu lar cake-walk Btyle. You ought to see Corporal Bauman with his new gun and his Southern dial.xt. When h3 fires them both off it sounds like the bom bardment of Santiago. Corporal Jc-hnston's many friends in St. Paul will be pleased to learn that he has been permanently attached to duty on thn target range on account of superior marTcs manship. Corporal Whitney, who was transferred from ] Company E, o-f the Fourteenth Minnero'a, has | reported for duty with Company L, this ree! ment. He is a quiet, unassuming young gen tleman, a good non-commissioned officer, and j the company should feel thankful to the man who secured such a valuable addition to our staff of non-commissioned officers. First Sergeant Shirk is happy In the pos session of a new fountain pen. HU corre spondence became so lengthy that he could not afford to waste time dipping the old-style In the Ink bottle. As my own fountain has I just Kone dry. I think I have said enough. —Tent No. 41. THIRTEENTH ON SHORE. The Minnesota Soldlera Are Prob ably at Honolulu. In all probability the members of the Thirteenth Minnesota regiment arc spending today at Honolulu. The City of Para, as well as the other boats of of the expedition, were due there Fri day, but as there is no cable to that point, news of their arrival has to wait until a ship or steamer can bring it to San Francisco. Eleven days was the maximum time allowed for the journey to Honolulu, and the expedition has certainly ar rived there, barring accidents. It is possible that they made the trip in better time. It was known that the Hawaiian people had made elaborate plans for entertaining the soldiers dur ing their several days' stay there. Gen. Merrltt, with '4he' Newport, is expect ed to reach HqnoHilu and Join the ex pedition before' It.' departs for Manila. Have You Seen -r/.'3 Refrigerators ? Fcr zv\» at tSi X •:» S- v'th s trert?

FEW LICHf HEARTS THERE FEELING OF SADNESS PER VADES FORT SNELLING NOW AiiA-loiinly Wuilliu for More DHnIN About the Killed and Wounded at Suntiaeo Many of the Famil ies Have Received the Kind At tention of < nut. Gerlach Need of Mo>ney Is Pelt by Some. The families of the soldiers at Fort Snelling are a sad little body of wom en. The telegraph office was so be sieged with women eager for news from the war that orders were, einco Monday, issued not to give out any telegraphic news till authorized by Capt. Gerlach. Some nights it is said the night telegraph clerk was awak ened many times by those who could not wait till morning for news from Santiago, where the Third regiment la now located. The list of wounded and killed was received with sadness by every one at the post. It is supposed that Private Hopper, one of thoee reported killed, is the husband of one of the wlveg still at Snelling, though definite in formation has not been received, and the man may be one of the new re cruits. Mrs. Hopper has not been informed of the news, but is fearful something has happened to her hus band. She has two children. 'Many of the families of the privates who went with the Third regiment would have suffered for food had It not been for the prompt action of Capt. Gerlach and the men and worn en still at the fort. Provision has been distributed, but, even so, the out look for many of the women is a dreary one. In some of the families little ones are expected and no prepar ation has been made for them. The women have taken hold with a will. however, and will see that all the lit tle garments needed for the tiny new comers will be provided. Capt. Gerlach has heard from hia son Fred, who is a private in the Sixth cavalry, which was in the fight at Santiago. It is not probable, how ever, that the young man saw any of the battle, as his letter is a complaint that he was left behind with the com missary wagon. Capt. Gerlach said last evening: "Fred has the same luck his father has had. I was the oldest man in the regiment, so they thought I had seen enough fighting and could be left be hind. We must obey all orders, but that was the hardest order I ever had. I have seen over forty years' service. No, I cannot possibly go now unltss we have a volunteer company ordered here. In that case I can take my de tachment and Join the boys at th« front. "The captain of my son's company, Capt. Kerr, was wounded, and we re ceived word yesterday had been or dered back to Tampa. Col. Patterson, of the Twenty-second infantry, who Is reported wounded, was at Fort Snel ling in the 70's with the Twentieth in fantry. He was major of the Third laur, and was promoted to lieutenant colonel of the Twenty-second. He came from Helena. He was well known in St. Paul and is a man who has seen much active service. "I have telegraphed for definite in formation as to those wounded and killed in the Third, and will receive advices from the adjutant general soon, no doubt." SOUTH DAKOTA NEXT. May Be Given Preference in the Fourth Philippine Expedition. SAX FRANCISCO, Cal., June 9— MaJ. Gen. Otis and Majs. Long and Ruhlin held a consultation regarding the transports of the next expedition and the troops which will go on them. The troops for the City of Puebla and Peru have already been decided upon. Tho Rio Janeiro and Pennsylvania are now being prepared. Their carrying capacity has not yet been officially fig ured out, but, as soon as that has been done, the regiments will be designated. Unless the accommodations of the shipa are very much less than is thought and unless some troops not yet here shall -be given preference, the South Dakota and Kansas regiments will get away. Ir. spite of all rumors to the contra ry, it seems probable now that the fourth expedition to the Philippines will be of the same nature .is those that preceded it. Arrangements have been made with the Alaska Trading company whereby the St. Paul can be chartered. She is a new vessel, a sis ter ship to the Senator, and is due here from St. Michaels today or tomorrow. Today the supplies for the two ship- of the next fleet will be delivered and those for the other thrpp am reaily to be delivered when they are wanted. The Pacific- Mail Steamshiji mnipany has chartered in Hong Kong the Brit ish steamer Glen fa rg, 2,150 tons, to re place one of the steamers taken by the government. The service is much crip pled in consequence of the number of Vf-FselP that have been taken, including the City of Pekiner, China, Odor. C:ty of Sydney, Peru, Para and lastly the Rio de Janeiro. The Glenfarg has not yet left Hong Kong. The annexation of the Hawaiian isl-, lands to the United States has given American registry to fifty-three ves sel?. Of thrse, twenty-four nre steam ers, four full-rigged ships, ten barks and twelve schooners. Most of the steamers are now engaged in the inter islar.d trade.
