Regiment Has "A Grievance.
IBy Telegraph to the Evening Journall
BABYLON, L. l., Sept. 14-The situa-
tion in Babylon at an early hour this
morning was unchanged from that Of last
evening. Colonel Austen is determined
to stay here with his troops until he
hears from his superior officers. Sheriff
A. NJ. Darling of Suffolk county, is anx-
ious that the militia be sent home as he
considers that affairs at Fire Island and
the villages on the Great South bay are
now in tranquil and paeceable condi-
tion
The storm still continues with una
bated fury. Rain has been falling all
night and the scenes this morning at an
early hour were of a desolate and bleak
character. Colonel Austen and his regi-
ment, the Thirteenth, of Brooklyn, are
on duty. Notwithstanding Sheriff Oar
ling's advice that the men be sent back
TO the armory by the first train. Colonel
Austen says he will wait here until Dr.
Jenkins returns from Fire Island. when
he will have a consultation with him and
| decide what policy to pursue
He intimated to United Press re-
porter at o'clock today that according
to HIS knowledge of the situation at that
hour he thought some of the men would
be sent back to Brooklyn this afternoon.
A company or two with the men from
the naval reserve will perhaps be needed
to keep order at Fire Island and they
may be detailed for duty there
The men of the Thirteenth are not
very anxious to 60 there and take chances
of being quarantined for some time.
They had a rough experience during the
Buffalo strike where they were stationed
in the most dangerous positions and some
of the boys grumbled little that they
should have been selected on this occa-
sion The total number of officers and
men on duty of the Thirteenth regiment
numbers 42j men.
