Wndo not to start for Porto Blco did not npolr to tho regiment of volunteor engineers, nc conllng to Col. Griffin, but notertholoss the engineers did not get nwar. Thoro was an other breakdown In tho englno rooa. of tho transport Chester just an everj thing was sup posed to bo ready. This particular nccldont wnslo the roorslg gear, and tho chief en gineer nnd his six nsslstants could not tell nftor six hours' work what had happened to It. Col. Grlftln, surrounded by tho offlcors of his command, nasslttlngon tho deck of tho trans port after dinner last evening anxiously wait ing to hmr tho rattle of the anchor chntns. "I think wo are about ready to got under way," said the Colonel. " but you'll hnvo to soe tho chief engineer to got tho exact moment ot dopnxturo. That order from Washington this afternoon has nothing to do with us. Wo nro to report direct to Gen. Miles nnd wero not to be undor Gen Wndo at nil. There Is only ono sick man aboard ship and all the mon are con tented and mmarkably good naturcd undor tho circumstances." Whon tho reporter aikcd Chtof Engineer Alexander Bain just when he would got awar. that flleer sat down on a rung of a ladder and laughed hilly thrco minutes. Then he repent ed tho question to each ot his assistants, nnd they all gave it up. "Sho'll go backward nil right." explained Engineer Bain. " but that's tho end of It. Wo can't movohornn Inch tho othox way, for tho rovcrslng gear won't work. This engine Isn wreck, and I would like to pack my dunnage and go ashore." "Bo would I." exclaimed tho first assistant as be wiped tho perspiration from his face while ho pulled back on tho end of a crowbar, the other end of which was holding up some thing that had broken oft "Thn tiouble," Mr, Bain said, "began last Fridny, when we tried to bring tho ship out hero from Brooklyn undor her own steam. Then we found that tho circulation pumps were worthless, and wo had to get n towbont. From that time up to to-nlglitwo havobeen discover ing brcakn. Nono of us has had more than twelve hours' sleep since wo camo Into this en gine room. We hnvo worked ourselves, nnd wo have had sixty mechanics and soveral exports out hereto get the machinery into working or dor. And wo hnvo had to wrk In a temper ature of 100 degrees, becauso so much steam escapes from tho leaks in the cylinders." Mr. Bain pointed to a wmught-lron patoh that had been bolted on to thocasMron bottom of the lnw-proseure cylinder. " That was cracked half way across," he said. " That's a good patch, but It will leak like tho mischief as t-oou as we get underway. " Wo thought that wo wero ready to go last night, but the throttlo valve got bent and wouldn't shut off or do nnythingelso. I got a now ono fitted this afternoon and then tried the engine again. Wo worked her astern for a full hour without any accident at all and then tried to go nhend. That settled It. Thorc er8iuggoar got jammed and wouldn't budgo nn Inch. We aro trying now to fix that. It may take two hours nnd It may tnku ten. "Tho hull of this ship Is a good one. but the ongluo is ery poor. The ongina Is twentv thrcu curs old. and there la nothing modern about It. It's the old stylo compound with n 0J-lneh high pressure and l'JO-luch low pres sure cylinder, ond n 0(!-inch stroke. Tho ooal consumption is oiiormous. In twonty-four hours, running nt fourteen knots, wo uso up 100 tons. Thoy had this ship laid up for four rigors t Southampton becauso the engine was In such condition and becauso the coal con sumption was so great. SInco then sho has made three trips neross the Atlantic, and on tho last trip over tho engineers had to Btop nine times to repair damages. The Chester was owned br tho International Navigation Company. Whon tho Government chartered the St. Paul. St. Louis, narvard and Yale, tho company was short of steamers for tho service between hero nnd Southampton. The Chester, one of tho oldest easels owned by tho company, having been built in 187.'), was lying up nt Southampton. Sho had nover got American registry, and for that reason could bo used with safety during the war. She made either ono or two round Ulps between New York nnd Southampton after she was brought over here. Then she was offered for sale to the Government. It was about a month ago that her salo was reported. Sho wtvi taken to tho Erlo Basin to bo fitted up as a transport. It was at first reportod that the Chester would bo ready forssa in about live days. At tho end of that time It was stated that she could not sail under a week or ton days, as tho work of putting up tho hnmmooks and their frames Is tho quarters for tho troops would takolongnr than was at first supposod. But It appears now thnt when tho Chestor was taken to tho Erlo Basin. Mr. Dickie, the chief engl necrthore, was directed to oerhaul hor ma chinery and put It in order. Ho went to work, expecting thut the work could be raHhed through In ft short tlmo. Tho furthor he got, so a Government officer said yesterday, tho more wretched he found tho oonditionof tho machinery to bo. The valves wero nearly nil so badly rusted that whon steam was got up it oscapod at nearly every valve. With eighty pounds steam pressure It was Im possible to start tho onglnos. Tho machinists tinkered and tinkered, and evcxy tlmo an aS tompt was made to start the englnos some now weak spot was discovered. Finally, on last Baturday. sho was moed oit Into the bay and anchored. Mr. Dlcklo said ho thought she'd boen patched up so that she could make one round trip to Porto Blco. The mules of tho engineer regiment were put aboard last Saturday and tho engineers on Sunday, SInco then throo attempts at least haebeon made to start tho ship. Each at tempt has beon followed by a breakdown some where. Mr. Dlcklo and a force of machinists from the Erie Basin wero sont for and worked until nearly dark yesterday, whon she broke down again. Mr. Dickie then reported that tho ship would surely bo ready to sail for Porto llieo whon new engines had been put In. Fur ther than that ho wouldn't prophesy. The Chestor was purchased for tho Govern ment by Col. Frank J, Heckerof Detroit, recent ly appointed a Quartermaster In the army, with tho rank of Colonel. The,prloo agreed upon was $200,000, It was said yesterday that the company has not been paid for thu ship yut, but that James S, Bwnrtz. treasuror of the company, expects to receive word from the War Department this morning that tho check has been forwarded to him.

TheDrand of Impottnre and Falsehood Fat Upon It by the Oovernment. CniOAoo, Aug. 0. Tho following editorial ap pears In tho Chicago Inter Octan ot to-day: "Nowspapdrs throughout the United Btates published July 10 a column letter regarding tho capitulation of Bnntlago do Cuba. Tho lot tor was dated 'Undor Morro Castle,' and was 'Copyrighted, 1808,' br the Associated Prjss. It wnji notoworthy only for tho following para graph: "'Commodore Schley hnsovor and over again expressed the belief that our fleet probnblr could have on to rod tho harbor without tho loss of n single ship. The mines might hnvo stopped Ingress by sinking the lending ship, but this Is tho chanco of war, and not so grave as many takon during tho civil strife, nor as serious as would hnvo boen the situation had thoro beon good batteries properly manned in the harbor.' "The purpose of this paragraph was plain. It was that Admiral Bampson had failed to grasp tho situation at Bantlago. though his subor dinate was fully allvo to it and repoatedly had directed attention to it. In gonerot tlie Asso ciated Press was striving to start tho contro versy whieh has since developed Into a scundal regarding tho rulatlvo merits ot Bampson and Schley before Santiago. To accomplish this purpose tho Assoolated Press lied. It de liberately forged a statoment and put It in the mouth nf Commodore Schley. "Bampson and Behloy brnndod the forgery as soon as ther discovered It In the Associated Press nowspapori, and reported it to the Navr Department, which called upon the Associated Prose for an explanation. The reply of tho As sociated Press waa that 'This letter was not wrltton by either of our reporters with the Bquadron off Bantlago. but by a gentleman who was temporarily on ono of our despatch boats. Tho despatch was not subject to censorship.' "Bead betweon the lines, this reply moans that tho lotter In question was not wrltton ' un der Morro Castle' at all, but was manufactured In the United States tor a malicious purposo by the Associated Press, and was sont out with othor bogus nows from 105 Broadwny, Now York city, to mislead the American pooplo re garding the conduct ot tho war. "The forgery accomplished Its purpose and fannod into flame one ot thoso nowspapor con troversies which, as a high offlcor in Washing ton has sold, have dono more to demoralize our army and navr at the front than all othor Influ ences comblnod. "8uoh is tho last orlme of tho Associated Press against tho American public, whose sources of Intelligence It seeks to control. It could not bo more scandalous, yet It is but one of many similar crimes perpetrated almost dally slnco tho war began. Both at homo and nbroud, in Cuba, in Hong Kong, in Porto Itlco, In Franco, in Germany and in England the As sociated Press has Hod and forged without cessation, and when Its lying and forgoryut tho sources of news hnvo not sufficed to sorvo the purposes of Its managors. tho reBt has beon done by their Ignorant and conscienceless em ployees In tho New York office. " Now that tha brand of imposture and false hood has been put upon tho Associated Press manngement by tho United States Government, It Is amuzing that solf-rospeetlng nowspapers can be willing to print Its despatches. How can an editor, with the slightest sense of his nubllo duties in tho most momentous period of our history since tho elil war, resign hlmsolf to hurnsKlng our Government, blackening tho rep utations of our soldiers and sailors, and mis leading and cajoling tho Amorican people, merely becauso such a courso is mndo oasy for him byMelvllIo E. Stouo and his accomplices? "A newspaper wlrteh. after tho Government's exposure of tho present Associated Press man agement, will still fill Its columns with that agency's despatches, has been wolghod and found wanting In all that should mako It a means of enlightening and interpreting publio opinion." DIED A CAl'TAItT AFTEIt ALL. Ilut Capt. Unrrett TTni In Command of Ills Iteglment When the Knd Came. A telegram received yesterday afternoon by his son-in-law. Capt. Isaaa W. Llttcll. Quarter master U. 8. A.. Btatloned at tho Army Build ing, announced the death form yellow fevorat Santiago of Capt. Gregory Barrett. Tenth In fantry. Copt. Barrett was in command of Com pany A nt Fort Bono. Oklahoma, when war was declared. Tho Tenth lost bo mnny of its offi cers In killed and wounded at El Canov and San Juan that, near tho closo of tho day on July "J, Capt. Barrett took command of tho reglmont, and lie was in command whon ho died. Many of Capt. Barrett's friends, as well as tho membors ot his family, tried to persuade him not to go to Cuba. It could bo easily arranged. tUey told him. for him to get nnothor assign ment. He was determined, howovor. to go. Promotion In the Tenth has boon slow. Capt. Barrett had boen a Captain sinco 188. and ho was noarly 02 years old. In two years ho would bo forced to retire, ond ho didn't want to retire as a Captain. ?or that reason he Insisted upon going to tho front with his reglmont. As he had had yellow fever once, neither ho nor his family feared for his safety on that ac count. He was In nil the battles in which tho regiment participated, and did not got a scratch. He stood only a short dlstanco from Capt. John Drum. Company K. when tho latter was killed nt San Juan. Whon the lighting was over and Santiago had surrendered. Capt. Barrett wrote to his wlfo that sho need have no more fear for him, ond that he would bo home In due tlmo. Not long uftor thnt he was stricken with yellow fever. The family did not know that his condi tion was serious until nows of his doath camo. Capt. Barrett was No. 44 in tho lino of in fantry Captains. Ho loaves a widow and four children two daughters and two sons. Ono of the daughters Is Mrs. Llttell. The othor Is un married. Ono of the sons Is in tho Astor bat terr, now at Manila. Capt. Barrett served In the civil war, and was a Colonol of volunteers when mustered out. TUE TROOPS AT JACKSONVILLE. Seventeen Regiment Slake Additional Work for the Provost Guard. Jacksonville. Fla.. Aug.O. Tho Ninth Illi nois, from Sprlngflold, and tho First Texas, from Miami, arrlvod her to-day. This makes soventeen regiments encamped at Jacksonville or Its immediate vicinity. It is supposed that the word from Gen. Miles that no more troops will be wanted In Porto Blco will prevent tho departure of the troops now hero. The Second Division Is complete with nlno rcglmonts. The othor divisions havo about four reglmonta each. Tho arrival ot additional regiments has caused more work for tho provost guard, and sovoii compunlob instead of throo will do pro vost duty. One of tho companies will be from Ool. Torroy's cavalry. SInco Major Bussell R. Harrison's appointment as Provost Marshal ho has been hustling In a lively manner In tho prohibited districts. A patrol roeently tried to ontor a dlvo whore thoro wero Roldlors. Tho soldiers looked tho door, tho iiatrol broke m, and tho soldlore jumped out of the win dows. A largo building in tho heart of tho city has boen rented for provost headquarters. It will accommodato 00 soldlors and a largo number ot prisoners. OVIt MAUSERS AT SASTIAOO.

The rifles aro In first-class condition and can be distributed to the American troops at onco if deemed desirable. It Is expected that 8,000 or 10,000 more rlflea will bo captured outside ot the city of Bantlago. REVIEW AT CAMP THOMAS. rORTT TIJOVSAND JMOT TIU3 FAST HEX. hrkckisridqb.

Tho rovlow of tho army at Camp Thomas to-dar was n splon dld spoctnclo. Said Gen. Brecklnrldgo: " I had no concoptlon ot tho magnitude of this command nnd a more superb body of soldiers I hnvo nover seen. At Santiago I was excood Inglr Impressed with tho splendid qualities ot tho United States soldiers, but I nm prepared to sarthat tho forces nt Chlckairmugn ocllpso those of Bantlago. For regiments unused to such field mnna'uvrlng tho rcglmonts ot Camp Thomas to-day did exceedingly well." To tho critical oro tho paradoof to-day re vealed much the splendid snap of tho regi ments of tho West, tho oxiellenco with which the regiments of tho East nre officered, nnd tho Inferiority of tho commands and commanders of tliq South, tho resuli of tho Indlfferenco with which tho Southern Btates havo gen erally treated tholr Btato guards. Tho Roirthern regiments nro flllod to over flowing with men willing and capa ble and lacking only In exporlenco. Tho East has always protected and fostered Its militia, nnd the result Is thnt tho reglmonts of Now York, Pennsylvania and othor Eastern Btntes aro officered by men capable and cxporlcncod who are fast bringing their commands to a standard of excellence exceedingly high. Tho review to-dny occurred In tho Brock Smith field, near Snodgrass Hill, two miles from senornl hoadquartors. on tho hill east ot Lytlo. tho park station. Gen. Breckinridge was tho reviewing offlcor. Gen. Frank, First Division, Third Corps, was In com mand of tho army. The infantry came first, tho artillery brlgado next and tho cavalry last. There wore thirty-two regiments of Infantry and about 40.000 men In the entire command. Tho Third Brlgado, First Division, was first to pass. It Included tho First Ver mont. Eighth Now York and Third Ten nossoe. Gen. Leonard Colly was In com mand of tho First Division, Col. Chnuncoy of the Eighth Now York commandod tho Third Brigade nnd Lteut.-Col. Jarvis commanded tho Eighth Now York. Tha Fourteenth Now York was noxt In line. Col. Wlldor was in command of the First Brigade. First Division, Third Corps, nnd provod n capablo commander. Mont. -Col. KHno of tho Fourteenth New York being on tho way to Brooklyn, that regiment wascommnndoil on rovlow by Major Toby. Tho regiment making tho best showing of any was tho Fifty-second Iowa. Its linos wero straight as arrows, its manoeuvring fnultloss, and tho tlmo of Its men as perfect sb clockwork. Tho mon were of splendid physique, and tho vigor of their marching won for them the plaudits of all. The Ninth Sew York was commanded by Col. Green. Major Wclner was too sick to command the Second Battalion nnd Capt. Charles Conn of Company L commanded in his stead. Major Wlllcox of tho Third Battalion. Ninth New York, was siek too. nnd his battalion was com manded by Capt. T. W. Tlmpson. Tho Twolfth New York was commanded by Lleut.-Col. Seltor. Col. Leonard being absent, presumably at Washington. All tho morning tho procession wont by the reviewing stand of the General. Company after oompany, bnttnllon after battalion, regiment after regiment passed as though thoy would never cense. Finally, whon tho last of tho thirty-two reglmonts of infantry had gone by. Gen. Brecklnridgo looked at his watch. It was 12:15 o'clock. Tho first regiment, tho First Vermont, had pnssod his stand at 8 o'clock. In a little more thnn four hours ho had rev tewed more than :i.r).tXX) men. Then came tho artlllory brigade, commandod by Gen. Wllllston. It mado nn excellent showing and was much applauded by the large gathering of spectators. Thu cavalry, tho brigndnof)thre'6 regiments undor command of Col. Orlgsby. was tho last to bo reviewed. The horses or t ho thrco commands, tho First Il linois, First Kentucky, and Grlgsby's cowboys, behaved well nnd showed first-class training. When tho dust from the cavalry had cleared away. Gon. Breckinridge nnd his staff mounted and rode to headquarters, tho General express ing himscll as perfectly satisfied with the ro vlew. Tho soveral reglmonts thatwere to bavogono with Gon. Wado to Porto Itlco are exceedingly disappointed to loom of tho suspension of tho expedition. It is rumored that Camp Thomoa Is soon to bo broken up. Ono rumor has it that some of the troops aro to be dropped at Lexington, Ky., and some at Knoxvlllo, Tenn. Neither report seems to havo founda tion. To-day Gen. Brecklnrldgo appointed as a health commission, to report on tho general health of tho camp. Gens. Bangor. Boo ond Mattnx. and Capt. Peabody of tho Eighth New York. WAR REVENUE ON MIXED FLOUR.

Regulations for tho enforcement ottho mixed flour sections of the War Bovenuo law have boen formulatod by tho Commissioner of Internal Bevenuonnd will bo ready for Issue in a fovv days.
