OVATION FOB THE TEXAS. Battleship From SnnUnco Greeted liy !):<• Cheers of Thomondi, NEW YORK, July 31.— The battleship Texas, Ca.pt. J. W. Phillip in command, arrived today from Santiago on her way to the Brooklyn navy yard. For a brief period she remained at anchor pkinsville, Staten island, to re ceive mail and dispatches, and, as soon as these were gotten on board, the ves sel proc|3ded to hor destination, amid shouts of greeting from thousands of . who crowded the decks of the outbound excursion boats. Salutations of welcome came from all sides. Every vessel that boasted a Bteam whistle let it fly for all it was w irth. The sailing vessels were also In evidence, and the dipping of colors aboard the pleasure ya.ch.ts, while not bo demonstrative as the shrill notes from the steamers, -was equally effect ive, and the man in charge of the Bl< im siren on the Texas worked like a tx iver replying to the reception. When the Texas reached the navy yard the dock was crowded with blue jackets and marines, who greeted their fellows with feverish enthusiasm and welcomed them back with joyous cheers. The general outward appearance of the battleship showed that the Texas had had a rough time of it, and a close inspection revealed the places wh< re the shells of the I>ons had pen etrated the port bow and starboard lure. on June 22, while the Texas was bombarding the Mono at the entrance to Santiago harbor, a six-inch shell ut the port side under the an ab nit twenty feet from the bow. shell exploded on the opposite eide of the gun deck and instantly lulled Frank Blakely, a first-class ap- Every condition favors our goods-quality, price, service.

This was the only fatal missile which struck the Texas during her fighting term, as none of the other men who were wounded succumbed to their injuries. A piece of the shell which killed Blakely hit John Lively, a landsman, in the leg and inflicted a dangerous and painful wound. Lively was limping around the deck today and said he would soon be all right again. During the engagement of July 3, when the Texas was chasing Cervera's ves sels, a big shell, probably from the Al mirante Oquendo, pierced the starboard bulkhead underneath the bridge. It passed through the ventilator and en tered the smokestack, where it explod ed, but injured no one. Several shots ti ok effect on the bridge and oiher parts of the superstructure, but nearly all traces of the damage done by them \\ ere removed on the homeward trip. The firing of the port turret guns on the upper deck shook the vessel con siderably, and she will need a general overhauling, as her decks and super structure have been loosened. Twenty-two sick sailors and marines were brought back from the squadron by the Texas, and they were all trans ferred to the navy hospital adjoining the navy yard. None of them had been injured in battle, and in no case is there fear of fatal results. Dry dock No. 2 has been made ready for the Texas, where she will go tomorrow. CUBANS HOLD <;iB.\R.V 1 'he KuII of Niu-vitiiH Is Heported, lint \<>t Confirmed KEY WEST, Fla., July 31.— Reports have reached here that Nuevitas, on tile north coast of the province of Puerto Principe, Cuba, has been bom barded by the ships of the blockading squadron, evacuated by the Spanish and subsequently burned. No details are known, and the only information of the affair is that given to Capt. Maynard, of the gunboat Nashville, by Lieut. Col. Rojas, of the insurgent forces at Gibara, la<=t Tuesday. Col. Rojas himself had the news at second hand, although he carried private dis patches from Gen. Garcia, which were delivered to the commander of the Nashville. The only American ships known to have been in the vicinity of Nuevitas lately are the Prairie and Badger. The latter captured three Spanish vessels coming out of Nuevitas harbor and took them to the Dry Tortugas. All were flying Red Cross flags, but when boarded were found to contain a num ber of Spanish soldiers, only three of whom were sick. The Badger is ex pected here shortly. The Nashville reached Gibara on Tuesday, when she captured the schooners Gibara and Express. On en tering the harbor she was met by the former United States consular agent and the president of the railroad line to Holguin. He told the Americans of the evacuation of Gibara two days be fore by Gen. Luque and his 1,800 Span ish troops, who feared a concerted at tack by Americans and Cubans. They fled to Holguin by rail and afterwards tore up the track. Gen. Luque left in the Gibara hospital 536 sick and wounded Spanish soldiers, with a re quest to Admiral Sampson to see that they were properly cared far. The next day the Cuban forces, con sisting of 500 cavalry, under Lieut. Col. Rojas, and 200 infantry, made a tri umphal erttry into the town. They were received with acclamations by the Cubans, and the town held a fes tival that day and night. The insur gents took formal possession, estab lished a police system and sent out scouting parties, and when the Nash ville arrived the best of order was be ing maintained. The invaders, how ever, neglected the schooners in the harbor, and the American ships took possession of them. When Ensign Snow left with a prize crew to bring the Gibara here It had been practically determined to raise the American flag over the town. At that time only Red Cross and Cuban flags were flying, and there was a question as to whether dissension might not arise between the Americans and Cubans in consequence of the Gar cia-Shafter incident. In such case, Capt. Maynard was resolved to selae and hold the place. Seeking a Camp MOUNT GRETNA, Pa., July 31.— C01. Moore, Maj.

Shun- draw's Condition Siill Improve)*. Lieut. Col. Harry Leonhauser is to be promoted to colonel of the Fifteenth Minnesota regiment, as it is evident to the surgeons attending Col. Shandrew that, in spite of his present improved condition, he will not be able to re sume his command. There has been strong influence brought to bear for the elevation of Dr. A. A. Ames to the colonelcy, it having been said that he had" been promised the next regiment. Ames is a veteran of the Seventh Minnesota, and served his country with credit in the Civil war. While not of the same political faith as Gov. Clough, the two have been personal friends for years, and the reported promise had been given general credence at Camp Ram sey when it became known that Col. Shandrew's return to service was im possible. The Globe, however, has reliable information that Lieut. Col. Leon hauser is to be named, and that Maj. Gotzian will become lieutenant colonel, and Capt. James Elwin, of Company A, of Minneapolis, is to be given the vacant maJorship. The first lieutenant of Company A is Fred Barrows, a son of State Oil In spector Fred C. Barrows, and he will be made captain of Company A, to succeed Elwin. The news coming to the Fifteenth regiment yesterday morning- as to Col. Shandrew's condition was good enough to cause every eye in camp to light up with hope. He had spent a much easier night than he did on Friday. He had a good pulse, and his face was not so flushed as it ha<l been. Every one was glad. It was a good sign, and perhaps he will come out all right after all. When Maj. Dennis returned from the daily con sultation last night he verified the good report, and was positive that the colonel's prospects were decidedly bet ter than they were twenty-four hours before. The colonel's constitution hai "begun to assert itself, and the pa tient's brain was evidently much clear er. The major said that Col. Shan drew had repeated a few words after him during the call, and that that in dicated that the blood clot was being absorbed. Even so little a change for the better gave Col. Shandrew's friends great encouragement. Dr. Henderson, the family physician, said last night that he considered the colonel much improved; that during the evening Col. Shandrew had spoken a few words to him. They were spok en in an intelligent manner, and show ed that the colonel's brain was being gradually relieved from the unnatural pressure. The cerebral hemorrhage had entirely stopped, Dr. Henderson said Still he felt that Col. Shandrew's re turn to his regiment would be impos sible. The peculiar nature of the at tack was such that the colonel could not afford to risk a repetition of it. Outside of muster for pay in the morning, Second battalion review in the evening and guard mount, the boys of the Fifteenth did nothing but try to keep warm. There was a marked absence of visitors for Sunday in the early part of the day, but along about 4 o'clock they began to come, and, when -Maj. Hand's battalion lined up in review at 6:30 p. m., there were fully 1,500 spectators viewing the inspiring sight from the slope behind regimental headquarters. It is enough to say that the battalion did splendidly. Those wha know the Second battalion, know they do anything well, and last night they didn't go back on their record. Service in the forenoon in front of Col. Shandrew's vacant quarters drew a large concourse of both soldiers and civilians, despite the chilly atmosphere, who listened attentively to the sincere words spoken by Chaplain Turner. At the chaplain's touching 1 supplication for the return of Col. Shandrew, every head bent as if in silent sympathy with the speaker's words. It was the most Impressive occasion yet had at Camp Ramsey. One thing that Is needed and which some of the philanthropic workers of the Twin Cities would find would be of great assistance to Chaplain Turner in his work is a camp organ, some thing portable and light. Chaplain Clemens, of the Twelfth, has such a one, and it not only lends a more homelike aspect to the service, but is easier to follow by those who assist in the singing. Chaplain Turner has not signified any de"sire to have an organ, but one would probably be very acceptable to him. The sick call brought about forty over to the hospital yesterday morning. None or them remained in the hospital, and of those who were inmates yesterday all were dis charged but three. Frank Mcluerny, of Com pany F, whose case was one of the most serious yet encountered in the regimtit by the surgeons, was much improved yesterday. Frank's case was never very serious, but he was pretty sick for Camp Ramsey. Capt. Bond, of Company I, spent yesterday at Minneapolis. Lieut. Billy Edwards handled tfie company during the captain's absence. Maj. Gotzian received a splendid six-shooter army revolver, Colt's make, yesterday, the Kift of his old friend and admirer, Martin Kennedy, of St. Paul. Was the major proud of It? He was. Lieut. Edwards, of Company I, has the neatest thing In the trunk line in camp. Billy was just diving into it yesterday noon. It is an officer's service trunk, with a writing desk attachment that is worth the price of admission, to say nothing of how nicely it is arranged for packing army clothes. The folks at Brown's Valley and TVheaton sent down the nicest service sword that has come into camp yesterday. They sent along S. F. Beebe with it, knowing that the pro fessor could make about as good a presen tation speech as anybody in the state, and he certainly came up to expectations, Capt. Crossfield was as completely surprised as a person could be, but rt didn't take the enp tain long to pull himself together and make an acknowledgment that woke the boys up a bit. The sword is simply superb, having a nicely wrought scabbard, with tortoise shell wrapped about tho grip and the captain's name upon the blade. On the plate, in the middle of the scabbard, ia an inscription reading: "Presented to Capt. A. S. Cross field, by Friends in Brown's Valley and Wheaton— lß9B." John Pepple, the popular day operator of the Omaha at Worthington, was shaking hands with the boys of Company H yester day. Everybody knew John, and all were glad to see him. J. A. Town, of Worthlngton, called on his son, First Sergeant Town, of Company H yesterday. Mr. Town was the first white man to settle in Worthlngton. He Is a veteran of the Civil war, and is one of the leading attorneys of that section of the state. "Lengthy" Jones, of Company G thoug-ht he was something of a Jumper until little Hobert gave him a few poi liters In the sport yesterday. Sergeant Matt M. Staudacker and Corporal E. N.

Phil had made some pleasant re mark to Secretary Randall about the sn pearance of the critters aa he came by tna drove, which stood down by Randall's barn at the time. They Immediately jumped to the conclusion that Phil was a friend j)f theirs, and Insisted on escorting him to his quarters whether or no. As he strolled along he attracted considerable attention. Capt. Mason Spicer was offirer of the day, and he spotted the procession from his headquar ters over near the guard house. "Hey, boyal" he yelled. "Gtt on to tho ca',ve3 following MT the green lieutenant." That Battled it. Everybody pipt,d Phil off. The calves wero so very peisisU-nt in their attachnu-nt and the boys so persistent in their joshing that 1 nil had to appeal to Mr. Randall to call the animals off, which Euge: o managi d to do by changing the bait from lieutenant to a bright tin pail.

WAS AT ASPINWALL Company Fa First Serjeant Has Seen Service Before, First Sergeant n. R. Norwood, of Company P, of the Fifteenth Minnesota, has nnio something of a study of recent American military and naval movements. "The last time," he said yestrrday, "prior ™n t! il pi K? cn t war wlth s P ain > ln which any considerable body of American troops were ioiV S n fore 'SJn soil was in the spring of IMm, when a naval expedition under Lltut. Commander (now Captain) MeCalla and two battalions of marines under Lieut. Col (now Colenel Commandant) Charles lleyward ware lunded at the isthmus of Panama, remaining there about six weeks. Like all other of the Latin American ra publies, the United States of Colombia is or at least was, merely a republic in name. Some ambitious politician would seizo the reins of government and hold them until he had made money enough with which to decamp (r un til cc was muidrrtd by some oppounnt. At the elections held in the fall of '81 both can aiaatcs for the presidency claimed the elec tion and the one who was in offieo held his position, whether legally or illegally I do not know; but at any rate civil war was in augurated and arson, plunder and pfllaga were the order of thu day. "A self-styled general, Aziparu by namo, who was in command of the forces of the outs burnrd the city of Asplnwall, of Co lon, destroying millions of dollars 1 worth ot\ property belonging to foreign residents. Cap? Kane, of the Nlpsie, pulled his vessel in close to shore, and, by training hi 3 broadside so as to cover the ground, preventoi the destruction of the Pacific Mail steamship gol-ks ana the principal warehouses and sheds belonging to the Panama railr ad. Upon re ceipt of the news of the insurrection ve.-s ■'» of the French, English and American navies were all ordered to the harbors of Cjlon ?nl I anama. as each of these countries has im mense interests on the little strip of laid crossed by the Panama railroad. • De Lesseps was at the time building his ship canal, and immense quantities of ma terial belonging to the canal company went up ln smoke. The French were naturally much exasperated, and threatened to land troops, but AoLmlral Luce, then in command of the Xorth Atlantic squadron, with iha frigate Tennessee as flagship, Informed the French that any attempt to land troops would be considered unfriendly to the United Stats and that he would open tire on any ve33al making the attempt. "The American vessels lying In the harbors of Colon on the Caribbean side and Panama on the Pacific could protect the interests of the cities, but the intervening forty-nine miles of railroad was entirely unprotected. If a mile or two of this road were torn up, or some one of the many bridges destroyed It would causo the stoppage of at least one fourth of the international freight and pas senger traffic of the western half of the con tinent of South America. The United States interests alone, which centered principally in Xew York, San Francisco, Baltimore and New Orleans, required about six large ocean steamers weekly. The railroad belonged to Americans, and it would not do to allow it to be destroyed by a lot of disorganized guer rillas, whose only provocation was political revenge. Although the French were forbid den to land troop 3, it was found upon con sultation of the treaty between the United Statt-a of America and the United States of Colombia that when the Panama railroad was built permission was granted the United States of America to land troops on the isthmus at any time to protect the railroad, and such an act would not be considered as causo for war. Cut little time was given to act. The first news of the insurrection reached Washington in February. President Cleveland was inaugurated as president for his first term on March 4, ISBS, and at the very start the chance presented itself for him to assert American dignity on foreign soil. The trouble had been brewing for some time, but nothing serious had hr.ODened until March 28, when word reached Washing ton that the city of Colon had been burned and that an attempt had been made to burn Panama, Immediate order 3 were issued to mobilize all available marines and Eailors at Brooklyn for sen-Ice at Panama. Although but a small force was required they had to be collected from the different navy yards of Portsmouth, N. H. ; Boston, Mass. ; Newport, R. I.; Brooklyn, N. V.; Philadelphia, Pa.; Annapolis, Md.; Washington, D. C, and Nor folk, Va., and so quickly was this done that two battalions had been organized, equipped and started on their way south March 31, just three days after the first attempt at mobilization of troops was commenced. "The two remaining battalions were got un der way April 6, and April 15 the entire force had been landed on the isthmus. "I was stationed at Norfolk, Va., at the time, and the entire command was drawn up for battalion drill on the morning of March 28. A telegram was handed Maj. Forney, the officer in command. He opened It, read the contents, called up the officers in charge of the different companies, and in less than ten minutes after receiving the tel egram the men were in their quarters packing up for a campaign. At 2 o'clock about 2GO men, almost the entire command at Norfolk were being carried as fast as the government boat Dispatch could carry them toward Brook lyn. "This was, up to that time, the quickest mobilization of troops ever accomplished in any country, and I think It has never been equaled since. "No actual fighting took place between the Americans and Colombians, but every requi site for a protracLed campaign was carrt d When the American forces landed trafflo over the railroad had been suspended, but It was quickly resumed, every train carrying a foica of marines in loop-holed boxcars, protected by boiler iron, pushed ahead of the engine" Sergeant Norwood has had a taste of tropi cal campaigning, but he is eagerly awaiting the order which may take the Fifteenth to the front. OX LEAVE OF ABSENCE. Chaplain Clemens, of the Twelfth, Home for a. Few Days. Rev. E. C. Clemens, pastor of the Fortst Heights M. E. church, Minneapolis, and chap lain of the Twelfth regiment, returned honit: yesterday noon on a ten days' leave of ab sence occasioned by an at:a>:k of malarial fever. He has been confined to his tent for the past week at Chickaniauga, ' and cam» North at the suggestion of hid superior ofll cers, who felt that only the bracing climate here would hurry his recovery. Mr. Cle-m --ens says that he intends to take his vacation In complete rest, and will return to his regi ment next Saturday. When asked as to the truth of Mayor Caley's story about the division hospital he said: "I want to go on recoid as refuting the statements of that gentleman, and to further state that the remarks of Mr Caley were wholly uncalled for. Maj. T. O.

In that condition they aro too hot to eat the solid food, and make far the hundreds of fiult wagons that line the grounds, and, as a con sequence, they bring on indigestion and its kindred complaints. Then they prepare for aress parade, which, when finished makes a lot of marching and drilling. The men nave all given up the hope of ever leaving ror the seat of war, and, as a consequence, have lost the interest that first held them, iney long for a change of scene and cir cumstances, and, most of all, for a crack at tho Spaniards."

THIRTEENTH AT HONOLULU. Pacific Commercial Advertiser Com- ments on the Mi ■■ ticsotn Cmcl.s The Pacific Commercial Advertiser, of Hon olulu, publishes, July 13. a glorious "Boys in-Blue edition," ln red, white and blue. In its account of the advent of the city of Para some references to Minnesotans of in terest are made. Capt. MeWade Is denominated a story teller and a noted wit, while Minneapolis and St. Paul are suid to be so friendly as to arouse comment. The number of college men in the lhirteenth Is also commented upon. They had a/ ball game and the 'Tiser says: 'Umpire Chance, who is a doctor man with the Minnesota party, was hit hard with a thrown ball yesterday, and all his boys ad vised him from the grand stand to take a pi'l. They said that was what he told them to do when they were hurt." Othpr Minnesota notes are: "MaJ. Bean has been sheriff of St. Paul. He is the drill master of the regiment, and has had Company D in a number of compe titions." 'Several of the Minnesota men brought let ters of introduction to Architect Traphagen and George Washington Smith, toth of whom are from their state." Lieut. Falk, adjutant of the Minnesota regiment, is the crack shot cf his command at regulation shooting, and wears a number of medals. He shot a practice score of 44 at Kakaako yesterday with a strange gun. He is a harness manufacturer." The Minnesota team, consisting of Tucker Priest, Kyberg, Ritchie, Clark, Barlow Krickson, Bergstrom and Robinson, was beaten 12 to ."« by the regimental team. Robert E. Manly, of Minnesota, was one of the speakers at the Odd Fellows blowout given in honor of the arriving soldiers. The gopher at the top of the Minnesota flagstaff was a source of wonderment to the Hawr.lians. The gopher is not indigenous to the soil. Under the head of "Stunning Regiment From Minnesota" the 'Tiser says: "In the middle of the afternoon the Minne sota regiment, which may be called one of the very best in the service, was guided to the ball park by Lieut. Coyne, of the N G H Here Col. Mcßeove drilled his three battalions for an hour, and nothing like it in the mili tary line was ever before seen on Hawaiian soil. Every command was executed promptly in unison and with a snap and confidence which bespoke hours upon hours of earnest work in the earlier days of the organization. All who saw the Minnesota regiment drill would like to have another view of it in mo tion. The command was given cheer after cheer as it passed along the streets, both go ing to the ball ground and returning. An ex cellent band headed the column. Tho mascot is a little darkey in uniform." Some of the Minnesota boys were inspired by the poetic muse while at Honolulu as a result of which several of their productions appeared in the local press. Following is a verse of the "Soldiers' Farewell," written by Martin E. Tew, of Company F: Farewell, dear Columbia, thy shores we aro leaving, And light hearts grow sad as thy hills fade from view. We know that at home many dear hearts aro grieving And trembling lips murmur a loving adieu. Let bright angels whisper ln words low and tender, And tell dearest mother that all will be well ; May spirits of grace ever guard and defend her, Are the last fervent words of each soldier's farewell. Rev. C. A. Cressy, chaplain of the regiment arranged new words to the tune of "Marchine Through Georgia." Fill your bugles up with song. My Minnesota boys; We'll gather around the camp fire And -we'll make a little noise. We'll sing a song together To intensify our joys, For we are going to Manila. Chorus — Hurrah! Hurrah 1 We'll make a jubilee; Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah! for you and me, Hurrah! for Minnesota and our country great and free. For we ere marching to Manila. Here's a health to all the pretty girls We've left so far behind. And dear old Minnesota, That is never out of mind; And when the war is over What a welcome we shall find. When we get home from Manila. The paper also prints several letters from Col. C. McC. Reeve thanking the citizens of Honolulu for the cordial reception extended the troops. SONS OF VETERANS HURT They Take Imbrage at Some Re- marks Recently Made To The St. Paul Globe At a meeting of the L. A. S. and camps of Sons of Veterans at St. Paul a week ago Brother Jones, of St. Paul Camp No. 0, made the remark that the Fifteenth regi ment, Minnesota volunteers, were not en titled to any money, being made up of coun try boys and hoboes, and that the money that was made from the benefit should go to the Twelfth regiment, and that there were no SOll3 of Veterans in the Fifteenth regiment Now, for the benefit of Brother Jones I would say that there are more Sons of Vet erans in the Fifteenth regiment than in all the others put together, as we have three captains that are Sons of Veterans, and over one-sixth of the regiment Is composed of Sons of Veterans. Aa far as the Fifteenth being a "hobo" regiment. It is composed of men of education far above their detractors. — J. W. Grant. Camp No. 4, Sons of Veterans, Minneapolis. DEATHS AT SANTIAGO.

V7ADE The Chances of the Fourteenth Are ICi-tvni-d. «I as the More Favorable, ]>ut the Men Under Col. Uobleter lio Not Admit That They Are Out of the Running The News of tamp Tliohihh CAMP THOMAS, Chickamauga, July 31.— (Special.)— Hope was revived in the hearts of the Minnesota men tonight by the news that Gen. Wade has been ordered to Porto Rico at the head of a provisional division, and that the fifteen regiments to go with him are to be picked in such a way as to give a chance to the men from the states not already represented at the front. It is regarded as about cer tain that one of the Minnesota regi ments will be among those chosen. The chances of the Fourteenth are looked upon as most favorable, though Col. Bobleter's men are not willing to admit that, in the event Minnesota is honored, they will be out of the run ning. The Fifth Illinois regiment, the men of which came dangerously near mu tiny when ordered back to camp the other day after having marched to the train ready to take them to Newport News, may be punished by being kept at home, but the general understand ing is that Col. Culver will be one of the regimental commanders favored by the new order. Gen. Boynton is having an analysis prepared of the Water used from all sources at Camp Thomas. This is be ing done in order that the troops may know just what sort of water they are drinking. Gen. Boynton has no doubt as to the pure quality of the water from the wells, the creeks and the springs, and he believes the an alysis will show, as has been demon strated heretofore by two or three an alyses, that all water, from whatever source, at Camp Thomas is pure. PAY ROLLS PREPARED 2len in Camp Will Receive Tlieir Money This Week CAMP THOMAS, July 31.— Owing to the almost continuous rain at the park from 11 a. m. until tonight, the day was very disagreeable, and the soldiers remained in quarters. The command ing officers took advantage of this ex cellent opportunity to muster the regi ments preparatory to receiving their government pay for the month of July and the result is that tonight practical ly all the regiments had been mustered. The pay rolls have been made up, and while the paymasters had not arrived up to this evening the regiments are expecting their pay during the week. The task of paying the men will prob ably begin not later than Wednesday of this week. The percentage of sickness at Camp Thomas, notwithstanding there has been rain for a week, continues very low. The report of Maj. C. M. Drake, surgeon in charge of the First division of the Third corps, issued this morn- Ing, shows that out of the 12,000 troops in the division there are 228 sick In the hospital. This is less than one and nine-tenths per cent. It appears that William Henderson, of the Twelfth New York volunteers, is a deserter, and to deceive the author ities reported his own^death to the un dertaker and the newspaper represent atives. Col. Leonard states there was no kill ing at the rifle practice of his regi ment Saturday, and the man Hender son had not been in camp for two weeks, Private Lawson, of the Second Ar kansas, who was killed at the rifle range, was buried today in the national cemetery.

Private Huff hr.a been on light duty for the last week, and Capt. Childs has been sending him after milk for the boys who «re sick in their quarters. The other morning he took one of the other boys with him, and when the milk arrived Huff was not to bo found. Investigation showed there was a pretty milk maid in tho case.

We did not enlist for Camp Thomas. Wo have been no benefit to mir country. Our summer's work Is gone. Good wages in harvest do us no good, and we have not got as much money as we had when we left home; and as we will do no lighting, many of us would willingly give all that Is coming to us to get out of this. Sergeant Williams says ho wants to bo transferred to the "rough riders." Thought lie had been having it rough enough here. He has lota to do we notice. Company X is shy two corporals. Wore guessing who'll be the boys chosen. It looks as if Corporal John Sheets might get a sergeant's opportunity, not because his father edits a Republican newspaper, but because John is a good soldier and deserves the appointment. The guard detail for tonight are Sergeant Williams, Corporal Mlnning, Privates Dick man, Dunn, Fralick, Gunderson, Grissoni and Grelr. Private Radabaugh has returned from the division hospital.
