Disagreement has arisen in reference to the
exchange of the Camp Jackson prisoners, which
will probably indefinitely postpone the release
Of the men composing Mulligan's Brigade.
No trouble exists relative to commissioned
officers, but General Price submits q list Of
pTivates which does not conform with the list
furnished to General Lyon In May last by the
Camp jackson officers, which General Curtis
aoheIes to, and which gives rise to suspicion
that the new list contains fictitious names.
Captain James George, formerly notorious
minute man and Camp Jackson prisoner, ar.
rived here from Tennessee, and was immedi-
ately arrested by order of the Provost Marshal,
and lodged in the military prison.
The report yesterday that claims amounting
to So, 900 had been approved bV The War
Commission was incorrect Claims on file rep
resent that amount. The proceedings are con.
Quoted privately, and no decision has yet been
announced, although quite number of claims
have been decided. The number of claims filed
to date are two thousand and fifty, and they
accumulate at the rate of. a hundred daily.
