LATEST NEWS OF THE MINNESOTA BOYS IN CAMP.
DRILLING BY RECIMENT
PLENTY OF WORK FOR THE
BOYS AT CHICKAMAUGA
Until the Men and Officer-* Are Thor
oughly Familiar Willi the Maneu
vers This Will Be Kept In as a
Matter of Dally Routine Nearly
Fifty Thousand Men Are Now in
the Camp.
Special to The St. Paul Glabe.
CHICKAMAUGA, Ga., May 26.— The
day has been one without special ex
citement or incident and was passed
by the two Minnesota regiments in the
daily routine of drill. All of the troops
here were put through regimental drill
today, and this will be repeated daily
until officers and men are thoroughly
familiar with the movements.
The first of the Grigsby rough riders,
troops A, C, and D, recruited from the
Dakotas, arrived today. They are
under command of Maj. Freon and
there are about 200 men in the bat
talion. They are a fine soldierly lot
of fellows and were warmly greeted.
They report an uneventful trip, but
tell of lavish hospitality all along the
line.
The weather is still extremely warm,
but the Minnesota men do not seem to
be suffering very .severely. The men
from the North in point of fact, do not
seem to mind the drilling in hot
weather more than do those accus
tomed to Southern suns. •
According to the official report posted
today in Gen. Brooke's headquarters
there are now 42,000 men in camp.
Gen. Wade's division is now com
plete. The Eighth New York, which
arrived today, was assigned to his
command.
Since the men arrived at camp, com
plaint has been common against the
quality of food furnished and there
was particular objection to ihe Id. k of
fresh meat. This has now been rem
| edied and the men who were getting
I tired of bacon were given on abur.-
I dance of beef. In future it is believed
this trouble will not recur, and it is
I also thought that arrangement _oiii
pleted today will give all the men in
camp an ample water supply

marched out to Missionaary Ridge, a
distance of three miles, where we ar

They were Privates Haach, McCoy,
Segar and Sergeant Mott. Thty are all
right this morning. Our guard last

Dunn, McWald and Giassman.
Sixteen boys repoited at the hospital,
but all were returned to duty except
Corporal Jones, Privates Radenbaugh,
Nelson, Haach and Frank Sirco. And
these will probably be all right tomor

yesterday is the cause. We are camped
on the old battleground. Missionary
Ridge. Already the boys have picked
up many relics of the late war, such
as buttons, bullets, gun stocks, ram
rods and pieces of shell. They are all
in a poor state of preservation except
bullets.

What Attracted Ihe Minneapolis

Special Correspondence The St. Paul Globe,
ON BOARD TRAIN IN UTAH, May 19
(with Company I, Thirteenth Regiment).—
Company I left the train at Cheyenne and
marched through some of the streets and
back to train, where breakfast was served.
Little can be said for. Cheyenne. It Is a typi
cal wild and woolly Western town. We left
there at 8:45. At 9:30 we caught our first
glimpse of a snow-covered mountain. The
next stop was made at the Ames monument.
This monument is located at the highest alti
tude of any monument in the world. It Is a
huge solid pyramid of red granite rising to a
height of about fifty fvjetf On one side are
inscribed the words: "In memory of Oakes
Ames anfl Oliver Ames." On another face
is a bas relief of Oakes Ames and on a
a third that of Oliver Ames.
Thlß monument marks the highest point
on I tire Union Pacific, 8,247 feet above sea
level.
Stopped at Laramie for dinner. The boys
are agreed that this town contained the
prettiest girls seen on the trip.
While here we saw^a regiment of cow
boys, raised for tho war. There were' about,
seventy-five men in line. Of these about five
were real cowboys, it seemed.
After leaving Laramie the boys caught
sight of Elk mountain, the highest snow
capped mountain yet seen on the trip. From
here on the train ran across many enormous
droves of sheep.
At Medicine Bow, Wyo., Sergeant Chris
tian and Sergeant Langdon boarded the en
gine and rode ln the cab from there to the
town of Rawlins. During a large portion of
this trip the train ran at the rate of fifty
five miles an hour. .
At Rawlins we stopped "for about an hour
and had supper. At this point Capt. Corris
ton, Lieut. Fitzgerald and Private Klngsley
took a ride on the engine.
Private Kingsley tried his hand at "firing"
for the next fifty or sixty miles. The boys
all asserted that from the time he took the
shovel the train made the slowest time on
the trip.
During this part of the ride we saw sev
eral prairie dogs and one large eagle. Noth
ing in the shape of vegetation to be seen but
sage brush.
Reached Rock Springs, Wyo., about 9:30 p.
m. Thursday we reached the prettiest
stretch of country yet seen. High snow
covered peaks, picturesque rocks, rushing
torrents and mountain streams, and just be
fore arriving at Ogden we came upon the
"Devil's Gate" on one side and the "Devil's
Slide" on the other. Took breakfast at Og
den, where we stopped for sixty minutes.
As the rain continued to pour the men were
not permitted to leave the train.
Ogden Is the best looking town we have
reached since leaving Minneapolis and St.
Paul. It has about 20,000 inhabitants. As
phalt streets, electric street railway and many
other modern improvements.
Will write again from San Francisco.

(with Company C, Thirteenth Minnesota

of Company C's trip to San Francisco:
Left St. Paul May 16 at 8:30 p. m. The
girls at Le Sueur, Minn., gave each one of
the boys a love letter, so they said, expect ng
a reply. Folks at St. Jame3, Minn., served
lunch. *"*•
May 17 we were irij Nebraska and lt was
raining hard. Train , stopped at Columbus
half an hour. Boys "of Company c had a
short gaime of base ball.
May 18 we arrived at Cheyenne, Wyo., at
5:30 a. m. Saw A_ie3*'pra_/ highest- po'nt in
Rockies, on U. P. system. "_cenery is giand.
May 19 we arrived at Ogden at 5:10 a. m.,
In a driving rain and, haii storm. The war
feeling in Utah is kind of. dead. The boy 3
took turns riding in .Che engine.
May 20 we arrived at bes£ part of tho trip,
in California. At Sacraimento the people had
a band, lunch, and a^grand welcome for us
all. In fact a reception that the boys will
never forget. They could n&t do erough for
us, and the train w;aa simply filled with
flowers of all descriptions.' 1 Fruit, such as
oranges and cherries,; waa handed to us ell
along the l'.ne In California. Little flower giils
were on hand to meet us at every s'.alion.
Arrived at Oakland at 2 a. m. the 21st.
Stayed in curs until 4 a. m., and then took
ferry at 5 a. m. for 'Frisco, where Red Crc«3
society served lunch. After eating the regi
ment received orders to march. After a five
mile tramp we arrived at our destination.
Had to lay around five hours before tenta
arrived from the depot. Each company re
ceived eighteen tents; about flic men to a
tent, with only four bales of straw to be
divided equally among them. Some of t_e
boys bought their own straw and were gcod
and mad about it. In the meantime it started
to rain and as the company grounds wera
sandy it v,a; slmost impossible to make to

UI_I-\ !•- S BOYS PRAISED.
Wm -in Words of Greeting: ln the San
Francisco Press.
Copies of the San Francisco Chronicle,
telling of the arrival of the Thirteenth at
San Francisco, show that there has been ro
exaggeration In the stories of the warm
greeting given the Minnesota men. The
Chronicle says:
The first to arive here was the belated half
of the the Twentieth Kansas volunteers, who
had slept at Oakland pier, and tha Thirteenth
Minnesota regiment, which is not only the
crack corps _f tte state, but bids (air to be one
of the banner organizations ot the campaign.
If blood tells and good looks go for anything
the men from Minnesota should be heard from
in Manila. That the government expects well
of them is proved by the tact that orders have
been received to send the Minnesotans with
the first Manila expedition.
The Minnesotans are magnificent. They aro
giants ln stature, with fine clean limbs and
strong determined faces. They are descend
ants of those lusty pioneers who fought tha
Indians at Fort Snelling and wrested the rich
land of the Northwest from the fierce guar
dians of the soil. All the companies except
M, of St. Cloud, and L, of Minneapolis, are
well equiped and well acioutered. Neither of
these companies have any guns, and M keeps
close to its tents, because it feels sensitive
over its lack of equipment. But they have
other things to be proud of. L holds th_
pennant for rapid recruiting, the full comple
ment having been reached twenty-two hours
and a half after the books were opened. That
shows how patriotism grows and blossoms in
the Northwest.
The regiment as a whole presents a fine ap
pearance. The uniforms are of the national
guard and the buttons bear the state ssal
of Minnesota. When the call for men came
the state graciously presented these uniforms
to the government. The tents, all new and
bright and white, were the gift of the cit'zens
of Minneapolis, who gave $7,500, with the ex-
press proviso that it was to be used for any

Special to The St. Paul Globe.
WASHINGTON, D. C, May 26.— Just
about one regiment of volunteers will
be Minnesota's allotment under the new
call.
Congressmen Stevens spent consider
able time at the war department today
conferring with Adjt. Gen. Corbin and
other officials in relation to Minnesota
matters. Mr. Stevens is urging on the
department the advantages of St. Paul
as a first-class horse market.
It will be some days before It is de
cided Whether Batteries A and B, the
artillery organizations of the Minnesota
national guard, are to be called out or
Whether a troop of cavalry will be ac
cepted from the state.
EXBRTING A PULL.
The new call for troops has caused a
great stir among members of both
houses of congress, who have been
thronging the White house and war de
partment to make sure of "placing" a
lot of their constituents ln the official
openings thus created.
They have been much disappointed to
learn that the president has made up
his mind not to use the new men for
organizing more skeleton regiments,
but first to fill up the regiments which
were mustered in under the earlier call
with much less than their proper com
plement of men.
These regiments themselves, officers
and men, are hoping for such relief.
All experienced army officers are advis
ing it, and the president's own judg
ment heartily approves it. It is going
to be hard work to withstand congress
ional pressure, and it behooves the hon
est sentiment of the country to make

Authorities I'ndecldi-d About Ar*
ci'inii ik-i- of Independent Tro-oiiN.
WASHINGTON. May 2G— ln the rush of mi:
ltary preparations the war department offi
cials have not been able to rive much attaa<
tion to the regulations for the prorur.-nii-nt
of the 75,000 additional volunteers cal'td for
yesterday by the president. It is still uncertain
Just how far the authorities will go toward,
recruiting the forces themselves, nor Is lt
positively known that independent organiza
tions, companies, battalions and regiments,
raised by individuals, will be accepted en
bloc. If by so doing the department Is re
quired to accept the officers with the men. In
deed, it is now questioned whether under the
law the department could, If It would, accept
services of officers under such conditions, as
the governors of the states appear to be the
only persons authorized to Issue commissions
below the field grade.
The department officials wrre engaged today
largely with the execution of a new law pro
viding for the organization of certain inde
pendent forces, with the result that lt was
able t ) announce regulations governing tho
examination ot applicants for commissions in
the engineer regiments and the organization
ot the Immune regiment*.
