3 THE BEOOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK, TUESDAY, MAY 31, 1898. COTS FOB, SOLDIERS. MISCELLANEOUS. TROOP C'S ARDUOUS WORK.

DR. KUEHR'S CURIOUSSTORT FOURTEENTH HOPING FOR ORDERS TO MOVE, the most unpromising at the first make the best soldiers at the last. It is the combative disposition in each period of development that makes them effective. Then, in the moral restraints that are put upon him, the soldier finds a grievance. In civil life his recreation, if vicious, are nobody's business but his own; hut in the Army they are the business of his officers, for if he indulges them far he weakens himself, he taints others by his example and he creates ESCORTING trouble in the places where he camps.

Dissipation softens his muscle and his mind, spicuous member of the Fourteenth Separate Company. The prominence of his family and his military training at West Point gave him a distinction from the average soldier. The company of which he was a member is made up of a splendid set of young men red cheeked, healthy looking lads most of them from good families. The news of Corporal Crouch's death affected them keenly. There was genuine grief when they fell in line yesterday aftevnoon to participate in formal ceremony of a soldier's funeral.

The men were formed in their company street by Captain Tompkins and marched to the field hospital, where the remains were lying. On the way a rather unpleasant incident occurred when a gTeen sentry of the Forty seventh Hopped the procession and gave a challenge to the full company. Colonel Barber, who was in the lead, remonstrated with the sentry, who insisted upon calling out the guard. The men finally passed to the hospital, where they were drawn up company front before the entrance of the hospital tents. They were placed at parade rest while Chaplain Karl Swartz read the Episcopal funeral service.

Just as the bendiction was pronounced the bugle sounded taps. The soldiers were passed in single file to view the shrouded remains. All were visibly affected. Privates Grimes and Winter fainted. They were revived quickly by the hospital corps and removed on stretches inside the tent.

Four privates, unarmed, bore the casket to the hearse. A detail of twelve men, all armed, preceded the hearse, and the company was formed in the rear. Drums were muffled and as the fifes sounded the doleful dead march, the soldiers of the Forty seventh Regiment who had crowded up to the lines lifted their hats. The procession passed out to the Meadow Brook road and was marched on to Hempstead, where the remains were delivered to a Kingston undertaker. But for the fact that the regiment expects to move to morrow Colonel Barber would have detailed a squad to escort the remains to Kingston.

Bicyclists Capture the Camp. Whether the soldier has peculiar affinity for bicyclists or whether the ride to Camp Black is the attractive feature cannot be said, hut it was noticeable that the holiday crowd on the grounds yesterday was made up mainly of those a wheel. There was every type of cyclist, but the short haired woman with the A Vivid Picture of What Brooklyn's Cavalrymen Undergo. THE PRESIDENT. The Roads Were So Dusty That the Men Could Scarcely See the Horses Immediately in Front of Them Two Miles to Water After a IiOng, Weary Day and Work Just Finished Taps Sounded.

(Correspondence of the Eagle.) Camp Alger, May 30 Brooklynites who witnessed the departure of Troop for the front took notice of the dusty condition of the men, the result of the march from Camp Black. But if they had seen the men on last Saturday returning from acting as escort to President McKlnley they would have had difficulty to reognize them as the same body. They were completely covered with yellow dust, their faces the color of men In the worst stage of jaundice, and equipments, uniforms and horses were plastered with a thick layer of dirt. Saturday morning they were ail busy cleaning equipments, polishing boots and rubbing up saddles and bridles. They left camp clean and sparAlIng, but just as soon as the road was reached on the way to the railroad station the yellow Virginia dust commenced to rlise and with the pounding of almost two hundred horses' hoofs on a heavy trot, (for both troops were out) the dusty ochrous cloud was so thick that only the four troopers directly in front of a cavalryman couid be distinguished and only as a faint silhouette.

The sides of the road were lost to view and it is a wonder that no serious accident resulted. One trooper's carbine caught in a wagon wheel while passing and took out several spokes. After the column would go on a gallop up and down grade, jingling carbines, rattling scabbards and re 'mwhS C'S CAMP AT FtALXS CHURCH, Concerning the Wonderful Combat iveness of His Wife.

Kuehn has brought suit against Annie Frances J. Kuehn for a separation on very peculiar charges and this morning Justice Johnson in Supreme Court, special term, awarded to the defendant $20 a week alimony and $150 counsel tne. He directed that the case be tried in June. Thu plaintiff, according to his affidavit, de posea that he has practiced his profession 2.O02 Lexington avenue, Manhattan; that he has lived with the defendant eighteen years and that they have son 17 yours old. The couple were not married, however, until November 10, 1805.

Kuehn says that one night the Lexington avenue home hid wife awoke bim, tore off the bod clothing and compelled him put on his coat and spend the remainder the night in the office. Mrs. Kuehn denies this and says thai the do, or camo homo a hilarious condition and that she did not molest bim.

Other allegations by the plaintiff ure that the defendant so worked on the mind of tiio plaintiff's patient, a Mrs.

Brown, that when called at Mrs. Brown's hou: he vaa summarily ejected. In the folluwing October she aimed a kick at him but he says he caught her foot, so that she tumbled over. All these allegations the defendant denies. Dr.

CUTTING CABLE UNDER FIRE. Heroic Work of lieutenant Winslow's Small Force of Seamen in Cienfuegos Harbor. (Correspondence of (be Associated Press.) Key West, May 27 Some day after the epoch of eagerness for latest news of the war has passed, somebody will tell tbe true story of the cutting of the cable at Cienfuegos. And when that story is told, people will understand more clearly than tbe understand to day what sort of stuff Uncle Sam's Navy is made of. Small sections of the cable which these brave seamen cut that morning are much sought for souvenirs at the Key West Hotel since the warships brought back the dead and wounded after the work was clone.

Lieutenant C. M. R. WInslow of the Nashville, who was In command of the expedition, came into the hotel last evening and was surrounded by a group of friends eager to hear his story of the affair in which he was the principal figure. He had been wounded in the left hand and his arm was yet in a sling.

YM? ViA. The Marhlehead. Nashville and Windom were detailed to do the perilous work. The cable house, which the Americans deisired to destroy, was located very close within a few feet of the water. Not far from this, on one side was a lighthouse and on the other side an old block house.

When daylight came the throe warships were in position a short distance out from the shore. With the first rays of light the lookouts began to scan the shore and it was soon discovered that the Spaniards were expecting them and evidently know the mission ot the smips at that time. Rifle pits were plainly distinguished at the very water's edge and commanding a cruel rake over the point where the cable was supposed to be and where tho Americans would have to go in their smal! boats. Rapid fire guns and small cannon could be seen. The polished steel and brass of the guns glistened in the sunlight.

Squads of infantry swarmed like Insects upon the shore. Groups of cavalry were galloping here and there. The little flotilla that did the hazardous work consisted of two small launches, two steam launches am half a dozen ordinary row boats carrying the men. The launches were! armed with machine guns. A point within 100 feet of the rnblo house; and within H00 feet of the rifle pits watt reached.

Lieutenant Winslow stood up in the boat and gave the command for the nieti to throw out the anchor and beuin grappling; fr.r tlir i Calmly, as If trolling for fish, the men bent, over the boats and began to work with the grappling hooks. All this lime the men on 1 the Nashville, Marhlehead ami Win lorn stood I at their guns. At last one of the grappling books brought the cable Into view and then came the first shot. It was Dt'omotlv answered bv the guns on the guns on the ships out in the bay. Again and again the guns roared from the ships.

Another mightly crash from the Nashville and the cable house Hew into the air torn into numberless fragments. Another crash from the Marblohoad and the block house was in ruins. Then this iron storm from the w. a swung around and swept the hillside. It.

shattered the rocks and trees. It jdcwed great furrows in the soft esand. It drove a throng of panic stricken men ru jhing and raving for shelter. Then it lowered again like the rays of a mighty search light and raked and riddled the rifle pits. Snap, snap, crash from a hundred different points came the fire from the Spanish rifles anil eight brave men sank down in the boats.

Two were dead and six were wounded. One cabio had been hauled up and feet out viu of it. This was the cable that ran to Bala Bana and connected with Havana. It wast slow, laborious work. The heavy cables to he hauled up the small boats and then by slow degrees the tough steel wires were hacked off with axes, chisels and saws.

The dead and wounded were transferred to another boat and the search for raole which ran rant to bean. This was oon found and again undur the canopy of shot and shell from the ships they worked bravely on unt.il a section of eighty Tret had heen taken from that one. After thiis another smaller cable running some Ireal point east wart cut. Then It was all over urid the small boats were towed back to the warships with random shots from the shore following t.a, in. It was just 7 o'clock in the morning when tho small boats were put off and the perilous work began and It was A.

M. when tho boats were Hgain hauled up with the dead and living heroes to the decks of the ships. EDITOR WHITE'S LOSS. Mr. Charles T.

CONFUSION IN CAMP OVER THE NEW CALL, iOfficers Do Hot Understand the War Department's Plans. I'INO EXPLANATION AS YET. Vttt Is Generally Believed at Camp Black That the Seventh and Twenty third Regiments Will Be Seat Down There.

IMscipline in the Forty seventh. Colonel Barber's Men May Be Delayed a Few Days Impressive Funeral Procession in Memory of Corporal Crouch Notes of the Camp. Eagle Headquarters. Damp Black. Hampstead, Xi.

May 31 The President's call for 75,000 more men and the subsequent jjfinformation from the War Department that 8,993 men would be required from New York Uto supply the first quota, has caused much discussion at Camp Black and not a confusion. The field officers here have been wondering what the real meaning of the iWar Department is, whether ttie 3,993 men rwould he included in fae quota under the second call, or whether It meant that this number would be required iu addition to the General Pennington and Lieutenant "Wei gel, who has been detailed as a post quar 1 termaster and a commissary of subsistence, irwere seen as to tbe interpretation of these new orders. No instructions have been re ceived from the government, but it is considered by tbem ttiat the call for 3,993 men means that this number shall be included in the quota under the President's second call. The War Department has decided to recruit all companies in all regiments to r. the maximum number, 106 enlisted men for i Infantry companies.

This will throw tbe maximum regimental strength up to 1,326. i Each company will be increased twenty five enlisted men. To recruit up these regiments under the new regulations, several field officers from the regiments already in service will be de tailed to the War Department, and all New I Tork regiments, both those which have gone South and those now here, have been recruit ed up to the full limit. Thirty six hundred men will will be needed. This number will enable two regiments of the state guards to be called out as organizations.

It is in this way that the Twenty third and the Sev enth expect to receive orders. Battalions "will be formed to fill out the remaining num her. No orders have been received either by General Pennington or Lieutenant Weigel. "My interpretation of the call is based on general information, but not on specific in etroctions," said Lieutenant Weigel. Requisition was made on the War Depart ment to day for ordnance and equipment supplies.

All new men not in uniform will be fitted out at the expense of the government. They will be armed with Springfield rifles and 1 given their equipments. A ball club has been organized and exciting games are played every day. During a game in the Twenty second yesterday a private was i' struck on the head with a ball. He was car to the field hospital in an unconscious I condition, but recuperated sufficiently to report for duty this morning.

Sergeant Curtis of Company Forty sev enth Regiment, will be called to face a charge of neglect of duty before a court martial this afternoon. While the sergeant was in charge of the provost guard a commissary car was broken into and some of the supplies ex tracted. Sergeant Curtis was held responsible for the disorder which occurred in his command. Lieutenant Weigel will be called upon to muster in a large number of volunteers. Sev eral companies of the Forty seventh lack the maximum numoer oi eignty rour men.

A suf ficient number will be mustered in to bring these up to their full strength. It was expected that the First Regiment would leave camp to day, but Colonel Barber now thinks he will be detained until the com tog of more men. At 6:30 o'clock this morning all regiments were formed for inspection and ray roll muster. This occurs once a month in other regiments. General Pennington Is preparing to make a vigorous fight against the canteens which Iiave been placed near the regiments now in camp.

These peripatetic barrooms have sprung ud like mushrooms and are within hailing distance cf the sentry lines. These canteens are not on the Stewart estaite, but pay S40 for the privilege to a Long Island farmer who owns the grounds. Great disorder has beeD caused by their proximity to the lines and General Pennington is determined, if possible, to scop the sales. FIRST FUNERAL IN CAMP. Corporal Crouch's Comrades Turned Out to Pay Honor to His Memory.

Eagle Headquarters, Camp Black. Hempstead, L. May 31 The most impressive scene since Camp Black was established was witnessed late yesterday, afternoon when the soldiers of the Kingston company gathered to pay final tribute to their dead comrade, Corporal Herbert A. Crouch. It was the first funeral among the New York volunteers.

Corporal Crouch had been a con False Alarm Over Instructions to Go to San Francisco. THEY WERE SOON REVOKED. Numerous Offenders Against Discipline Promptly Punished Some Non Commissioned Officers Reduced to the Ranks A "Vacancy in General Grant's Brigade Active Drilling for the Brooklyn Soldiers at Chickamau ga Park The Making of a Soldier. How Individuality Is Sunk in Building Up an Army. (Specia' to the Eagle.) Camp Thomas, Chickamauga Park, May 31 There was much cheering and enthusiasm on the left of the Fourteenth last night when it was made known that eight regiments were to be sent to Tampa.

The men of the Fourteenth wish that they were included in the list. They had a bit of excitement yesterday which lasted for fifteen minutes. An order came from Washington to move the Fourteenth to San Francisco, and all the soldiers thought they were going to be sent to the Philippine Islands. A quarter of an hour later the War Department rescinded the order, and the hopes that had risen so quickly were dashed. The transfer of the Fifth Maryland to Tampa has made a vacancy in General Grant's brigade that he believes will be filled by some new regiment.

There have been several offenders against discipline in the Fourteenth. A number of privates have been fined half a month's pay for fighting, drunkenness and refusing to drill. For like otfenses two or three noncommissioned officers have been stripped of their chevrons ana reduced to the ranks. There are eight hospital cases in the Fourteenth. Two of the 'men have pneumonia aad one typhoid fever.

All of the patients, however, are doing well and are in no danger. Bad water is responsible for most of the illnesses. The cooks are now ordered to boil drinking water. The regiment is drilling actively daily. Tile men were practicing in extended order 'this morning and made a good showing.

Last night was a regimental drill t'ltat was an entire success. General Grant inspected the brigade camp yesterday. There was a general brushing up and cleaning In all the regiments. The Fourteenth looked its best. Straw bas been supplied to the regiment and it is no longer necessary for the men to sleep on bare ground.

In the afternoon General Grant reviewed the regiment. Sunday was quiet and there was no drill. The first woman visiter who bas entered camp made her appearance on Sunday. She created a great amount of interest among the soldiers, who hope that more of her sex will come to see them. The' doctor's report was turned in Sunday night.

It showed that the vaccination of the regiment is practically completed. The surgeons recommend most earnestly greater cleanliness in the camp. They say the men ought to have a chance to bathe, should exercise more care in drinking and should be furnished with more food more nutritious and in greater variety. Until the guard restric tions are removed from the creek, however, the recommendation of the physicians that the men be given a charice to bathe will be of little aval'. There have been numerous cases of faintness and heat prostrations in the regiment.

There was a fight among privates Sunday evening which resulted in landing several of them in the guard house. The men are among those who suffered penalty of fines. Sixteen men in Company E. were in the guard house yesterday for refusing to drill. Their only breakfast was hard tack and' coffee and they said they were too weak to march and handle their guns.

The officers did not think so. General Grant has been petitioned by the officers of the regiment to use his influence to secure the colonelcy of the command for Lieutenant Colonel Kline. MAKING OF A SOLDIER, It Costs the Individual Many Struggles to Reduce Himself to a Machine. (Correspondence of the Eagle.) Camp Thomas, Chickamauga, May 29. 1SA8.

The psychic evolution of an army is a study of interest. Individuality is merged when one becomes a soldier. Liberty is lost, initiative is relaxed, all the energies that in time of peace are self wielded or self centered are here contributed to make a sum of force that is at the handling of a few. These few are the officers, the aristocrats, tie brains of the organisation. The rank and file are the bone and muscle.

Class and mass are more sharply divided than ita civil life and one of the first and hardest things to be learned by the on listed man is that he is not his own property; that he is hut part of a machine; that whatever Intellections he may have cannot be imposed on others or used to qualify the character or action of those others. He objects to this; he grumbles and rebels; but it is of no use. Like tbe broncho, tbe harder he kicks the tighter the cords of discipline are drawn about him. At last he is brought to realize Ms now situation. He is no longer John Smith, but No.

2, second rank, fourth file, Company Tenth Regiment, First Brigade, Third Division, Fifth Corps merely a link in a long, long chain a chain that is run in and out, made fast, cut loose, that pulls here, trips one there. When he realizes this, when he learns to think through the head of his captain, his colcciel. his general, he is a soldier and in a fight ho will be effective. The officer has had his training, too. He feels the enlargement of his own personality and power, and if he is the right man for his place this obligation upen hiin to defend his country, and, so far as he can, to defend his men, gives him a new dignity, a new thought fulness, a new caution.

If bo is a poorly furnished creature it upsets him. He sees only the outside of his office and becomes vain, harsh, affected, self conscious. There are a few in shoulder straps who should be in the ranks, and there are many in the ranks who could wear the straps. Those matters adjust themselves when illness, reorganization or battle create vacancies. The soldier's resignation of his civil rights comes only after an inward battle and sometimes not at all.

There are a few men, even in our Fourteenth Regiment, who have strength, health, courage, yet will never be good soldiers because they cannot, or will not, yield implicitly. They are the grumblers, tbe trouble makers, the men with saucy answers, the men who are often in the guard house, the men whose chevrons have been pulled off, tbe men who are oftenest reprimanded, the men who loiter on guard, who slouch at setting up exercise, who are always late at roil call. Still, it often happens that makes bim unfond of hard or simple life. Yet, dissipation is with some men a normal outlet of high vitality and a protest against official restraints. The Fourteenth Regiment is a community of monks.

General Grant is a disbeliever in the need of vicious pleasures and unless it may be in smoking, he take3 no kind of pleasure himself. It is common rumor in Camp Thomas that the Fourteenth is the most inforcedly moral regiment in the place. Leaves of absence are few and short, no liquor is allowed to enter its reservation, women cannot come near it, even the effort to get a man to furnish eggs for the officer's mess has but just borne hen fruit; there are no card sharps or monte men or any other kind of swindlers, and although a few pickpockets and sneaks have reached the hamlet of Lytle, at the entrance to Chickamauga Park, they are watched and have thus far been unable to make any profit worth mentioning. I had a chat with F. M.

Hill, the Chattanooga chief of police, last night and was surprised to learn that the arrival of 40,000 soldiers in this place had not affected the morals of his city. "They are a fine lot of fellows," he said, "and so far as we are concerned there Is nothing to make us think that we have a great camp near us. When the regulars were here a couple of colored soldiers fired into one of our patrol wagons and wounded two prisoners. They are in prison. Then a couple of the New Hampshire boys came to town this week, got drunk and insulted a woman in the street.

They are in convict's dress and are working on the stone pile, but as they are ignorant of our ways and had taken too much, I hear that a petition is in circulation to get them out. Civil authority rules here and when I consulted with General Brooke ahout these men he said that he did not want them that the law must take its course. As soon as the troops began to arrive I took measures to prevent trouble, especially by keeping vicious women off from the street. Those who would not stay at home were locked up and 'the jail Is full of them now." There has been petty thieving in camp, but some of It is intended for mere larkipg. A soldier's Market or poncho will be secreted for example, but he will find it again in the morning.

In ofter cases men have put themselves out to return articles they have found. On the ground 'where the Fourteenth Regiment bivouacked Private Fred Quarty picked up a wallet containing notes for made by Dr. C. C. Carpenter and this he sent to its owner.

If in camp men become savage in opposite ways from the usual being held to a rude life by the will of others and not their own, it is likewise evident that some of the finer qualities of the race develop in our fighting machines. There is individuality in regiments, too, althoug'h does not show on the surface, and is less eviiTcnt in this stage of organization than it may be later, for a deal of rude, unlicked material has been gathered into every command because of the com pulsion to recruit its numbers to a thousand. Western and Southern regiments that do not come from the cities are the strangest aggregations of humanity to be discovered in a week's search. I saw two battalions from Arkansas and Missouri the other day, marching from the station to their camp. Their entire outfit was carried on their shoulders, and such outfits: bedclothes, shirts, tin cans, plates, loaves and what not.

with knives and forks sticking out of their pockets. Their clothes were coarse, patched, ragged, their faces had the dull, slow, animal look of the mountaineers hereabout, they stood in rank while waiting for water as oxen would stand, talking little, observing little, suffering little. There was hardly a uniform or a gun in the whole mob. While patriotism has urged thousands to the front, there are other thousands who are soldiers for $13 a month, with clothes and hard tack added, and are living better now than they have lived since hard times began. Unpromising material often gives promising results.

Captain Wagner's company in the Fourteenth, Company is entirely made up of raw men, yet it has been drilled into about as good condition as any of the other companies already. There is in every regiment a leaven of a well bred, intelligent class, and therichas well as the poor are carrying guns. The number of old soldiers is surprising. There are regulai Army men, fighters from European and eastern armies, restless adventurers from the world over, and sometimes a whole regiment that has seen fighting tbo Nebraska regiment, for instance, in this division, that served in the campaigns against the Sioux in 1S3 and 1S90. and that has been considerably medaled for Its courage.

The only conspicuous chances for displaying courage that exist here are in the handling of snakes. It is prize snake country. Blacks, or racers, are as common as toads and they grow to a fair size. One that Private J. M.

Hester killed a day or two ago was feet 3 Inches long. The creatures live in crar.nies of tne iimestone ledges ana enjoy the hot sunshine. They seldom invade the tents, though it Is reported that one crawled across a man's chest the other night and one private sat up all night 'because ho found two in his blanket. They are harmlct as are the grass snakes, chicken snakes and some smaller species. One of the officers thought he hoard a rattler the other night, but the native say that the only poison ou.i serpent found here is the disgusting bio adder.

There are rabbits a pienty and the follows catch them for pets and stews. I tramped through woadrs Tor two miles to visit the Sixty ninth Regiment and found a hundred members of that command madly chasing black pigs through the underbrush. Tho little porkers wore gaf 'ping with exhaustion and terror when caught. A few squirrels have been taken and a few of the lizards tbat scuttle over the fields and up and down the oak trunks by thousands. Life ferments into a thousand forms in this hot country and in the settlements the cockroaches fly in at the windows and aro an big as moths.

Some stayed over to the paTade of 'the Forty seventh, but most of them left early in the af ternoon. During the last week the crowd of visitors has been greatly decreased, but yesterday was a favorable day for cyclists and they took advantage of the good roads and the good weather. Colonel Eddy is determined to stop the guard runnins which has been going on extensively in his regiment for the past week.

Each day sentries have liad trouble with men who would go through the guard lines. Many have been arrested and Colonel Eddy states that he will impose the strictest penalty upon them.

Sea Girt, N. May 31 The Second New Jersey Volunteers will likely be in Chickamauga at the end of this week. Orders were received yesterday afternoon by Colonel Hine to move him command from Camp Voorhees at Sea Girt, Jt. and the men may get away this afternoon or to morrow. Two special trains consisting of twenty six cars all told, are on a siding near Sea Gii to convey the troops South.

In addition to the two passenger trains for the officers and the men a freight train will be used to carry the baggage and horses of Colonel Hine and staff. The more careful housewife has learned to employ the Royal Baking Powder exclusively in the preparation of her cake, biscuits and rolls, because it is a surety against alum and all forms of adulteration that go withfthe cheap brands of baking powder. volvers shaking in their holsters, tho command would be given to halt and the trumpeters would sound it along the noisy, dirty line. Sabers would be raised as a signal to halt, as each trooper would bring his horse back on his haunches. Then the column would start again on a hard trot and the rattling commotion would continue.

At the railroad station the troops waited, as is usually the case, a long, weary time for the President. At last the presidential train appeared, and the commander in chief of the Army and Navy of the United States stepped from the train to the carriage provided for him. Quite a number of notables were in the presidential party, and, as they entered the carriages provided for them the troops presented sabers, then formed column of fours. Troop riding ahead of the presidential party, Troop A following. The troopers had not gone far before the order came to halt and form twos on the side of the road, giving room for the carriages to go up in front and escape the dust.

Then the two troops as escort followed In the rear. They reached the reviewing stand at last and halted in troop front at ease. The review was magnificent, as regiment after regiment passed in comnanv front be fore the President. The alignment was splen did, and when the serious meaning of it all was realized one could not feel much like cheering. One trooper said: "I wonder docs this mean a final review before going to Cuba?" The parade over, the infantry went back to their quarters, but not so with the cavalry.

The President must ride all over the camp in inspection and in a rushing, dirty body the troopers followed. What cheers! The President received, of course, the major portion, but the cavalrymen came in for a large share, and many comments were made on their dusty condition. Many an infantryman called out: "You will join the cavalry." and "Won't you change places?" also, "Say, fellows, would you like a drink?" and many a soldier who had seen the troopers riding around as orderlies and who had wished he, too, was a cavalryman repented of his desire and gladly accepted his own position, realizing its easier condition. The President very thoughtfully did not require the cavalry, as evening came on, to escort him to the railroad depot. So they turned their dusty, sneezing, weary horses in the direction of camp.

For rest? Oh. They had supper after they had unsaddled and cleaned their perspiring mounts. Then they had to ride their horses (as they do twice every day) bareback to water, about two miles, at. a stream where only three horses can drink at a time. The horses were crazy for water, but they had to hold them for about two hours In line until their time cam; to I drink.

The troopers returned to camp, fed the poor animals and got into their tents just as taps was blowing and lights had to bo put out. If anyone has an idea that they aro out on a pleasure trip let the come to Camp Alger and sec. Captain Bertram T. Clayton of Troop has boon appointed acting major of the New York squadron of volunteer cavalry. First Lieutenant Fred A.

Coudert. of Troop A has been appointed acting adjutant and Snr gc ant John Fiske of Troop as acting sergeant major. DEPUTY TAX COMMISSIONERS. The Commissioners of tbe Tax Department to d.iy appointed Edward i'. Condon of 215 East Eighty first street, Walter A.
