Griffin. Ga., July 20.-To an observer of
the workings at Camp Xortheu, it is a
pleasing fart to note the rapid improve
ment in the men. Many. who. two wc le
ase, came in as taw recruits, non drill

undergoing instruction in the company
street.
Gov. Atkinson was at camp Monday,
anil expressed himself as well pleased with
the rapid progn -s tilt men are making,
and heartily commended Col. Candler in
his work. He instructed the colonel to
rush the recruiting to a finish as rapidly
as possible, as it is very necessary to have
his regiment .ready for active service when
called by the Var department to the front.
Col. Candler to-day Issued several fur
loughs to met. with instructions to return
home and get e very available rnan and
send him to camp.
The regimental band is fast filling up to
the required number, and Prof. C. O. Pol
lard of Fitzgerald has been assigned as its
leader, with Charles Griggs, brother of
Congressman Griggs, and A. I’. Lane as
principal musicians. But it will be some
time yet before this band can play well
enough to furnish music, and the mean
time the Griffin Rifles' hand will play at
guard mount in the morning and m dress
parade in the afternoon.
Capt. W. W. Davies of Atlanta has the
Pnly full company in camp, lie having sent
down enough men to-day to recruit his
company up to the required number.

Infantry Arrive.
Fernandina, Fla., July 26.—Three sec
tions of the train bearing the First Oiiio
Cavalry and the Third Ohio Infantry ar
rived to-day from Tampa. *
A portion of the Sixty-ninth New York
equipage also arrived on one of these
sections.
It has been raining during the after
noon, but this did not stop the continual
stream of army wagons which go and
come from the camp, hauling the tents,
stores and other equipage to their place
on the camp grounds.
Other sections of f he train are expected
in to-night, which will complete the two
regiments. These trains were delayed en
route, it is learned, on account of the
breaking down of an engine on Ihe road.
The First Florida Regiment has receiv
ed instructions to hold itself in readi
iness to take transports from tills point
for Porto Rico. When they left Tampa
the regiment had twenty-two days ra
tions. "They have been here four days,
which brings their field rations down to
eighteen days. They will, however, be
supplied before they embark. The regi
ment is highly delighted with the pros
pect of getting a chance in actual war
fare, and will welcome the embarkation
day vvllh more than pleasure.
Other regiments are, of course, very en
vious of the Firs! Florida, but hope they
also will get a chance next.
The two newly recruited companies, I
and K of the Third Pennsylvania, which
arrived yesterday, did not have tents or
rations,-hat were taken in, fed and lodged
by the other regiments until the Third
Pennsylvania arrived from Tampa.
The hearse bearing the remains of Pri

His remains will be sent to his home in
Cincinnati. The e-asket had the Failed
States colors thrown over it, with a
wreath of flowers on top, furnished by a
comrade.
Seines are being used on the beach by
the soldiers to furnish the regiments with
fresh fish. The grounds are being cleaned
up by each regiment and the officers are
very much pleased with then- new uuar-
ters.

Atlanta, Ga., July 26.—Another soldier
died at Fort McPherson to-day with ty
phoid fever and preparations are being
made as rapidly as possible for the re
moval of the troops to some other point.
It is about decid'd that a portion of the
3,000 soldiers now stationed at Fort Mc-
Pherson will bo sent to Austell, twenty
iniies from here, but it is not known yet
tvhat will be done with the other.
The man who dice! to-day was Private
Tandy of the Second Kentucky Volunteers
and was brought from Chickainauga Sun
day night. Other deaths are expected mo
in'iitarily at the barracks.
While a very large majority of the sol
diers who have been brought here are
greatly improved and some aro almost en
tirely recovered, some are critically ill.
Fever is the general cause of death. Only
one lias died from trouble caused by his
wounds.
A number of Atlanta ladies have formed
themselves into a relief corps, and are do
ing a great deal towards alleviating the
suffering of the sick soldiers at Fort Mc-
Pherson.
Gov. Atkinson is in receipt of the fol
lowing letter from Mayor Watkins of
Chattanooga:
"Chattanooga, Tcnn.. July 23.—Gov. At
kinson, Atlanta, Ga. —Dear Sir: I beg re
spectfully to call your attention to the
unhealthful condition of affairs at Lyttle,
Ga. The sanitary condition at that point
is such as to produce the most dangerous
types of sickness in the near future. It
is outside of the jurisdiction of the mili
tary authorities and therefore they cun
not compel its inhabitants to clean upon
their premises.
"I deem it my duty to bring this to your
attention, thinking that you would have
your health authorities see that it was
put in a sanitary condition.
“I made a personal inspection of the
condition of affairs the day before yes
terday and it was simply astounding to
me to know how the people could live. I
trust that you will not think it out of
place for me to bring this matter to your
attention, especially when the healthful
condition of Georgia generally is Involved
in the condition of this little town. As
suring you of my high appreciation of
yourself, I am, yours very truly.
"E. Watkins, Mayor."
Lyttle is adjoining Chickamauga park
and all the soldiers stationed there are
exposed to the dangerous conditions re
ferred to.
POPULARITY OF GEN. MILES.
Clerk Leßny, of Fort McHenry, Es
pluins the Cause of the Sentiment.
From the Baltimore Sun.
The secret of the extraordinary popular
ity of Maj. Gen. Nelson A. Miles with
the rank and tile of the regular army was
explained yesterday by Headquarters
Clerk W. H. Leßoy of Fort McHenry.
I,cßoy is about 35 years of age and for
tiffden of these years he has been in the’
regular army, having served in the in
fantry, cavalry and artillery. He served
under Gen. Miles in the Northwest during
the Indian campaign of 1890-91, and has
had as much experience of active service
in the field as any man of his years in the
service.
"Men outside ow the service have no
idea of the extent of Gen. Miles' popu
larity with the men of ihe regular army,”
said Leßoy. He is idolized by the men
as their best friend among all the officers.
In my early years in the army I had no
particular reason to admire the general. I
was born in a Southern state; my father
was a slave-owner ami then a Confederate
soldier, who lost his right leg while fight
ing against the union brigade in which
Gen. Miles served as a captain. When
the war was over rfur family had lost al
most everything. When I was old enough
I went into the army.
"I had often heard of Gen. Miles, but
never saw him until the winter of 1890 in
the Dakotas. We were out lighting In
dians in the middle of winter, and tho
boys of the Eighth Cavalry, to which I
then belonged, were suffering considerably
from the weather, having no proper win
ter clothing to protect them from the ex
treme cod. One day I was doing guard
duty near Maj. Wells’ lent when a gen
eral officer whom I had never seen before
rode up. It was bitterly cold and I
had nothing on but the ordinary blue me
dium-weight uniform like you see on me
now. We ought to have had furs, but tljov
were not supplier! in time and we hail
scarcely any blankets equal to the cli
mate. I saluted the general and he re*
turned it. asking, ns he eyed me. Have
you men no heavier winter clothing? Y'ou
fellows must lie freezing out here at this
rate? 1 replied thal we had nothing more
than what he saw on me, and he at once
rode to the tent of the officer commanding.
“After he passed r learned that he was
Gen. Miles. On meeting ihe command
ing officer, the general asked him why
ihe men had no heavy clothing or proper
winter bedding. *\\Y had to leave most of
the available stuff back at the last post,
130 miles to the rear,' responded the of
ficer. 'We have about all the baggage we
can carry with us.’
“ 'What officers’ baggage have you?'
asked Gen. Miles.
“The officer answered that each officer
had the regular amount of baggage allow -
ed by the regulations and alioirt 4'X> pounds
each extra, which consisted of mess chests
“ 'Tin- officers can do without me-a
chests better than the men can do with
out heavy clothing and warm bedding,'
replied Gen. Miles, and he ordered the
officers’ mess chest to be sent back to
the other i*ist and substituted for them
plenty heavy horse blankets and all the
heavy uniforms and clothing and warm
German bools that could be secured nt the
tioet. The result was that in a few days
we were all comfortably clad and prepared
to meet the worst weather. As we donned
the warm duds and our blood began to
circulate better, many a soldier prayed sil
ently as well as he knew how for Gen.
Miles. In my own case I felt that lie had
saved my life.
“After that I saw many other noticeable
instances of Ins humane and considerate
treatment of the hoys. Others saw 11, and
Gen. Mil.* liecame the Idol of tin men vho
served under him. Since then he has lone
much for Ihe comfort of the private sol
dier, and it Is common talk in tin army
(hat it was Gen. Miles who secured for
1 lie troops now down South the welcome
canvas suits, which make life in tile tor
rid climate worth living. If I could by
any chance get dear this Porto Rno out
tit, and 1 may yet, I would regard it as .1
high privilege, and you will find thousands
of others under blue coats who will I>,
equally anxious to serve even ro the death
the Lst friend of the private soldier that
ever wore 11 uniform.”

Chattanooga, Tenn.. July 26—Swinging
a plow behind a Georgia mule, or nick
ing cotton beneath a midsummer sun is
no warmer than the brigade drills which
are now the order of the day for the First
Georgia every morning.
For two hours, and often more, the men
drill over this part of North Georgia with
shouldered rifles always, and not infre
quently with the shelter tents and all their
appurtenances of heavy marching order.
The First Georgia is getting plenty of
drilling in heavy marching order during
the afternoons of this week. This after
noon, Instead of a long practice march of
that character, the men were treated to
something worse, in view of the proba
bility of their early departure it has been
thought wise to get them in training in the
loading of the wagon train. Accordingly
when drill call sounded this afternoon the
tents were struck and the city fell. The
shelter tents with the right amount of
clothing in them were rolled and strapped
across shoulders, the iarge tents were load
ed into the watting wagons, and the regi
ment was ready lor marching. This is
the way the men w ill make ready for their
departure a few days hence if peace has
not been declared before the regiment gets
its marching orders.
To-morrow the last of the Third Brigade,
First division. First Corps, will go out,
and next In order is the First brigade.

RECEPTION GIVEN HHY'AN.
The Colonel Decline* to Respond to
tv Call for a Speech.
Jacksonville, Fla., July 26.—A rousing re
ception was tendered to Col. W. J. Bryan
of the Third Nebraska Regiment at the
Windsor lloiel this evening.
The band of ihe regiment was selected
to give one of the weekly concerts at the
hotel, and this being its lirsi appearance
in public, nearly the entire Nebraska regi
ment took advantage of the occasion to
come to the city from their camp just out
side the limits, a special train being char
tered for Ihe purpose.
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee showed CoS. Bryan
every attention and detailed Maj. Russell
B. Harrison to the special dtjky of looking
after him.
The high officers of most of the regi
ments in camp were present, and after
me concert an informal reception was
held, all being Introduced to Col. Bryan
in turn. The outpouring of people from
the city was tremendous. There were
many calls for a speech, but Col. Bryan
did not respond.
EASES OF THE CORRESPONDENTS.
Why “World” nnd “Journal" .Men
Were Expelled From Culm.
Santiago Correspondence New York Her
ald.
In the case of Sylvester Scovel, who was
expelled by Gen. Shatter, it was decreed
that he shalt never again enter United
States military lines or board United
States warships.
The three Journal men expelled were
MrNieholl, Mosher and Musgtave. They
landed at Santiago Monday night to open
a business oflie.e. with 20,000 Journals and
colored posters showing the wreck of the
Maine, with dead sailors flouting past. An

inscription at the lop read “Remember
the Maine," and at the bottom another,
t'liuy the Journal.”
As soon as Gen. Shafter saw the posters
he sent a detail of soldiers to arrest the
Journal men and seize their paraphernalia.
The correspondents were placed under
guard over night in the Theater Royal.
The next day tien. Shafter himself saw
them placed on hoard the Aranzas, with
Scovel.
In sending them into exile Gen. Shafter
expressed himself in vifcorous language.
The Dog and the Lfltv.
From the Green Bag.
Once it is established that the nature
of the species is gentle and that every dog
is a law-abiding and peaceable Bruno,
then it becomes necessary, before liabili
ty for the vulgar transgressions of' a
fierce Towser can be fastened on the
owner, that he ,should have previous
knowledge of the unflsual and not-to-be
expected feature.
This is called scienter, and until an own
er has this knowledge of his dog’s viclous
ness he is not responsible, though in the
error of its ways not acting as becomes a
gentleman of the dog species, or a lady,
as the case may be. To be more accurate
and exact, once a dog had departed from
the narrow path of rectitude and demean
ed itself in ways other than should obtain
with a strictly proper and gentle animal,
and the owner knows of it, then it loses
status and caste, and must be put down
as a vicious animal, and the owner keeps
it at his peril. Lqrd Coleridge, it seems,
was anxious to reduce the law on the sub
ject to a nicety in the way of succinctness
and brevity, and he succeeded by saying
that “every dog is entitled to one bite,”
and the case has special reference to
spring limb or veal. The expression is va
ried by making it “every dog is entitled to
one worry.”
Where Hearing Ceases.
From the I.ondon Mall.
Lord Rayleigh in a lecture said that ex
periments had shown that a vibration of
sound having an amplitude of less than
one-twelve-millionths of a centimeter
could still affect the sense of hearing.
Such a vibration would be so short that
it would have to be enlarged 100 times be
fore the most powerful microscope could
render it visible, supposing that it were
susceptible of being seen at all. Old peo
ple, he s%id, do not hear high notes which
are audible to young persons, and there
is reason to beiieve that babies hear notes
which are inaudible to their elders.
