The regimental claim for per diem and
transportation during the late encampment
was made out and forwarded through the
proper military channels, and now lies in
the Adjutant-Generals Office with an in
dorSement from General Turnbull to allow
ii when Colonel Sheehan signs a certain
agreement to make good his pro rata of all
deficiency bills incurred by reason of the
encampment. This the Colonel refuses to
do and as the claim has the approval of all
except General Tumbull, suit will be COM
menced Immediately to compel him to APP
prove, or for Controller Dunn to issue the
warrant without such approval. The regi-
ment offered to pay into the general eX-
penSe fund all over S2,100, which will be
ample to pay all Indebtedness according to
General Cosby's statement, if other regi-
ments do likewise. Yet General Turnbull
insists on the Colonies binding themselves
to pay possible unknown sum, and with
holds his signature to compel them to do so.
