Art Getting Weary.
Savannah, Ga„ July 14.—Two officers
of the Third Georgia Regiment, now be
ing organized, were in the city yester
day. They were Second Lieutenants A
A. Lawrence and David C. Barrow, Jr.
The former was on the way to Bruns
wick after a recruiting tour, during
which he visited a number of South
Georgia points w^th moderate success.
Lieut Barrow had come up from Tam
pa and, was on the way to Macon to re
port for duty. He reports quite a num
ber of the Guards suffering fwa colds
contracted in tho past week. “It has
been raining steadily for four days,’'
said he, “and the weather has been even
worse than it is here now. We had the
camp well ditched, and, oust of the
boys had their tents banked up inside
with sand. Those who had not taken
this precaution had a river running
through their sleeping quarters. Guard
duty and the other necessary work has
been a nasty task, We have found the
wet side pf a soldier’s life by far the.
most unpleasant. It is far worse than
heat.”
Lieut. Barrow reports that the uya,
are fretting over their long stay at Tam
pa. They Ipive hP®h there seven weeks
pow, and are disgusted with the pros
pects of a longer stay. Anything in the
shape of a change would be weloome.

of Porto Rico indicated a condition
among the natives nearly bordering on

reported that they were smoking in their

Captain politely warned them against
this practice next morning, and was
answered impudently by one of the
offenders. The infraction of rules was
repeated the next night, and in the
morning Capt. Philip ordered the defiant
foreigner handcuffed to the upper deck

San Francisco was reached was informed
that it would not pay him to push his
