The Daily Press correspondent re?
ceived last evening a letter from Camp
Cuba Libre, Jacksonville, under date of
June 13, which contains much informa?
tion concerning the career of the boys
since they left Hampton. It was writ?
ten by the dim light of a camp candle
-while the wind, as it swept overland
from the broad Atlantic, twenty miles
away, sang its doleful song in the tall
tops of the pines beneath which rise
the white tents of Company D. But it
must not be supposed thai Camp Cuba
Libre is a gloomy spot. It is only a
mile from Jacksonville and is connected
with the city by electric cars, making
the ride from its sandy streets
to those of the town a matter of hardly
live minutes. Contrary to popular be?
lief here the heat at Jacksonville is by
no means so oppressive as it is at the
North, where General Humidity claims
and enforces the privilege of stewing
the helpless people to his heart's con?
tent. The vicinity of the Florida me?
tropolis is balmy and breezy, and but
for the clouds of dust that sometimes
rise from the small sand dunes in and
around the camp, the Hampton boys
would have little to complain of. But
the bathing is handy, and the men may
lie down on their pine cone matt-esses
at night refreshed by a plunge in the
waters of the noble St. Johns. and
dream of Hampton and home and the
loved ones there, far away, in the
grand old State of their birth. -And
those?poor fellows?for whom no teara
were shed when they said good-bye.
may turn their thoughts toward "the
unfriendly shores to which they are
bound and call up visions of carnage
and death on the purple field of battle
Many changes have taken place
among the men since they reached
Jacksonville. One of the first events
of interest was a general inspection by
a regular U. S. A. man, after which
high collars and sharp-toed shoes were
doomed to innocuous dessuetude. This
order of the meddlesome inspector,
however, refers only to non-commis?
sioned officers and privates. Captain
Hope and Lieutenants Couch and
Daugherty may still cut capers In
shiny high collars and tooth-pick shoes.
The men are permitted to wear either
the blue army shirt, without suspend?
ers, pr take the blue blouse straight.
"Those fellows," says the Daily Press
correspondent, "who were used to wear?
ing collars high enough to answer for
an ad. for a linen factory, did not like
this style of dress at first, but they
have gotten into it."
That there are more things than war
agitating the minds of the Hampton
boys is evident from the following par-,
agraph taken verbat urn from the let?
ter: "The girls in Richmond treated
us royally. The day before we left they
brought out sewing "kits" for about
half the company, and came down to
the train through the broiling hot sun
to bring us lunches for our Journey to
Jacksonville. A good many of the boys
have received tender missives from
them. " Everybody will agree that this
is simply awful, but if the Daily Press
were to lay before Its readers all that
this Camp Cuba Libre letter says, there
would be more than one tluttering
heart in Hampton. The men have been
greatly disappointed by the failure of
Red Chiles to pay them a promised vis?
it. He was due in Jacksonville last
Thursday. Mr. Chiles is still expected
But here is another interesting extract
from the letter:
"Geo. Wray Booker is the* only poli?
tician in camp. One week more and he
will know every man in camp and
control about three wards in Jackson?
ville. The headquarters of the regi?
ment draw on Company D for all the
special duty men. We have furnished
the regimental quartermaster sergeant.
We have an experienced man in the
engineer corps, W. H. Peek, and Doug?
las Hull has been clerk in the quarter?
master's department and is now per?
manently with the hospital corps of the
Fourth. Charlie Whiting was detailed
one day as orderly to our battalion
commander. Lieutenant Colonel Ed?
wards, and whenever he needs an or?
derly requests that Whiting be sent to?
him.
"George (Ox) Booker was selected as
the colonel's orderly the first time he
was in the guard detail, and all the
colonels are asking to see our muster
rolls, which were said to be O. K. by
the commanding officer. Since we have
been issued the new uniforms our boys
are commented oh as being the neatest
that go Into the city. We were the first
company in the regiment to receive the
new uniform and all the other compa?
nies were jealous. This was due to
having Douglas Hull in the quarter?
master's department. I suppose by the
time you have read thus far you will
have been wearied, but T have just one
favor to ask of you; send us some pa?
pers so we may see what is going on at
home.
"The boys have to turn out at ?:30 for.
reveille. You know this gets to some
of us, who are not utjed to such earlj?,
rising."
RESERVES TURNED DOWN.
But the Members of**?ie Hampton Divi?
sion Are Angry.
Lieutenant Boyenton's naval re?
serves, who returned from Norfolk last
night, after having been snubbed by
order of Admiral Erben, are in
a more belligerant mood toward
Uncle Samuel than they ever were to?
ward the supercilious Spaniard; and
that is saying a good deal, for never
did a set of men more anxious to meet
the foe turn their backs upon their
homes.
For months the work of organizing
the reserves has been going on in this
city, and many sacrifices have been
made by those at the head of the
movement. During the past week all
of the men who had employment
threw np their positions in the confi?
dent expectation that they would be
mustered into the service of the gov?
ernment Thursday. Their surprise
and indignation, therefore, may be
more easily imagined than described,
when, at half past 3 o'clock in the af?
ternoon. Commander Hufchlns, of the
navy, who had been sent down from
Baltimore on the lighthouse tender
Violet to. act as master of ceremonies
at the examination, called at the ar?
mory and with an air of great pom?
posity and importance, accompanied by
terrible gesticulation, ordered a halt in
the proceedings. The request of r>r.
Speer, also of the navy, and Dr. Chiles,
battalion surgeon, for an explantioii
was dismissed with a wave of Com?
mander Hutchlns" offlcia! palm, and the
examination ceased. At that juncture
seven of the men had beet: passed un?
conditionally.
Being unable to ascertain the cause
of the offensive treatment from llnt
chlns, who immediately took refuge on
the Violet, at the navy yard. Lieuten?
ant Boyenton and others telegraphed
to Admiral Erben, but that dignitary
did not deem the Inquiry of sufficient
Importance to warrant a reply.
Other messages were sent to Wash?
ington, but none brought the infor?
mation desired. As the entire naval
reserve force or the State had been
turned down. Admiral Erben and Com?
mander Hutchlns became the targets
for the sharp and sizzling comment of
the disappointed men. and had they
been in hearlnn distance It !?> probable
that they would have felt that there
was less danger In the presence of
belligec&nt Spaniards.
Twenty of the Hampton men went
to Alexandria Thursday night, ten re?
mained in -Norfolk and the rest came
home.
Two men of the Hampton division,
who were unwilling to enlist, escaped
from the armory and ran toward the
pier where the Hampton boat lands.
Marines with fixed bayonets wore sent
after them and brought thorn back.
They were placed under guard by
Commander Boyenton.
WILL INSTALL A PASTOR.
Tomorrow P.ev. A. .T. Renforth Will
Take Charge of the Christian Church.
Tomorrow morning 111? - Rev. A. .7.
Renforth. late of Proctor, W. Va..
where he was horn, will become the
pastor of the Christian church of this
city. The members will extend to Mr
Renforth a cordial welcome, hut his in?
stallation will take place without form?
al ceremony. The new pastor Is a
young man. a graduate of the School of
the Evangelist, at Klmberlln Heights.
Tenn.. a noted institution, and conies to
Hamilton highly recommended. He
succeeds the Rev. Mr. Staneill, who left
here a year ago.
The Christian church is one of tli"
most flourishing: religious organizations
In the city. It was founded about nine
years ago by the Rev. E. B. Rnghy,
with only twenty members. The Rev.
G. H. McGee became the first pastor,
holding the office five years, when he
retired and the Rev. R. V. Omer was
called to fill the vacancy. He was fol?
lowed by Mr. Stancill. For several
years after its formation the church
was supported mainly from the missi m
fund, but through the earnest efforts
Messrs. R. B. and R. L. Tennis, Wil?
liam Smith. H. W. Stanton and other
self-sacrificing workers, it has been
made self-supporting. It now has an
active membership of over one hundred
and is growing. A nourishing Sunday
school is maintained, with Mr. H. W.
Stanton as superintendent.
WHERE'S WITNESS WILSON?
He Will Be Wanted in Court This
Morning.
As announced day before yesterday,
the case of the Commonwealth against
Mrs. Cunningham, of Phoebus, charg. d
with a vicious assault upon an old man
at her husband's saloon/the Stitrs and
Stripes, this week, was postponed until
this morning in order^to .enable her to
secure the attendance^*)! a witness
named Wilson. Commonwealth's At?
torney Collier objected to putting off
the hearing upon the ground that the
woman and her husband, who is also
under indictment for assault, arc n n
under satisfactory bonds. While he
does not question the Integrity of the
parties who became sure?es for them,
he holds that in the event of the (light
of Mr. and Mrs. Cunningham the sums
named in the bonds could not be col?
lected because the bondsmen arc not
worth it in the sense contemplated by
the statute.
Public sentiment is strongly against
the postponement of offenses of so se?
rious a nature as the assault in ques?
tion.- Mr. Collier is outspoken in his
opinion and is anxious to take the case
up. _ Mrs. .Cunningham's attorneys,
however, think that it ought to be d.
feired until the injured man has re?
covered from his wounds, as they fear
that his appearance as a witness in his
present condition would enlist the sym?
pathy of the jurors. He was certainly
a pitiable object when he hobbled into
the court-room Wednesday afternoon.
Rut it is hardly likely that the mem?
bers of a jury would allow even the
sight of a man who had been brutally
pounded hi? an infuriated assailant to
cause them to disregard their sworn
du ty.
A BOLD BAD TRAMP.
How He Frightened Mrs. Johnson and
Her Children.
Wednesday afternoon while Mortor
man Haynes was humming along at a
twenty-mile gait between Phoebus and
Buckroe Beach his attention was at
traeted by the ioud calls of a woman
from the window of a house in the new
village of Klondike. Mr. Haynes quick?
ly stopped the car and went to the as?
sistance of the woman.
Upon reaching the house he learned
that a big. burly tramp was trying to
force an entrance by the back dour. The
lady, -whose name is Johnson, had taken
refuge in .a front chamber with her
children, after vainly pleading with the
urt-svelcome visitor to go away. When
Mr. Haynes arrived at the back porch
he found the tramp resting from his
labors. He.took the fellow by the arm
and led him to the car and when Phoe?
bus was reached turned him over to an
j officer. Justice Furness fined him $14.75
i and upon his failure to pay sent.him to
this city, where he is now locked up.
ONE WAS MARRIED.
Mrs. Irene Davis, one of the women
arrested in Phoebus Thursday night
and arraigned before Justice Richard?
son upon the charge of frequenting
houses of ill fame in that town, was
married at half-past 10 o'clock yester?
day morning to Benjamin Franklin
Holland, of Battery B. Third artillery
stationed at Fort Monroe. The cere,
mony was performed in the office o)
Commonwealth's Attorney Collier bj
the Rev. Graham Lambeth, of the
West End; Methodist church, and was
witnessed by less than half a dozer
people, one of the distinguished gentle?
men present Vicing Alderman Foster, o:
the First ward. The bride wore a darl
skirt and a comfortable shirt waist o
light material. A plain sailor ha
crowned a profusion of auburn ha':

This is her second matrimonial vent

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
NEW YORK. June 17. The unsettled
and wailing temper of speculation was
shewn no less today by the stagnation
in railroad stocks than by the disposi?
tion to lake mi different members of
the group known as specialties.
Dealings In the railroad list were
few and Tar between and the only
movement of prices was the sagging
tendency almost inevitable in the life
less market. Definite information as
I.. 1 h'e conditions of the coming crops
is what speculators would most like
to have. The markets were full of ru?
mors today of damage and deteriora?
tion to en.ps. Money also showed a
hardening tendency and sterling ex?
change advanced nn demand for remit
tf.n.if dividends ami interest due to
foreign holders on July 1. The violent
movement or several of the special?
ties reflected no general condition and
was without effect on the market be
vond the sto.k immediately dealt In.
Dealing In tobacco were on an enor?
mous scale. Railway bonds were very
dull in sympathy with stocks but prices j
were better held.
