INDIANA AT CHICKAMAUGA
Some Very Grave Errors as TO Positions O
Monuments and Inscriptions.

Some Very Grave Errors as to Positions of
Monuments and Inscriptions.
recent inspection of the historical tablets
on the Indiana monuments at Chickamau "a
has disclosed facts of much interest to the vet
Grams of IL regiments of infantry and one bat
terry from that State.
The monuments of Indiana, with two excep-
tions were not erected 1T the time of the dedi-
cation. Texts for bronze tablets had, however,
been submitted to the National Commission by
the Indiana Commission, and as corrected by
the former and approved by the Secretary of
War mad been returned to the State Commits
sion. During the Fall and Winter tablets were
cast and attached to the monuments.
The inspection shows that in the case of FIVE
regiments and battery the text OF the corrected
and approved tablets was ignored, and the plates
east in part, in the erroneous forms first SUBJ
mitted by the Indiana Comm issiOn. This is in
violation both of law and regulations.
But worse than the above errors is the dis
coyery that upon six other monuments the his
torcal texts of the bronze tablets were prepared
for other positions of the regiments than those
selected for the monuments. All of these are
written for positions at considerable distances
from where the monuments stand, two being
written for positions Il mile distant, one over a
half mile, and three about a quarter of mile.
One battery monument. the 18th Ind, sets forth
LnaC Sapt. us WAS killed.
where the monument stands although he
made two reports of the battle, which are in
the printed War Record Volumes and he is now
alive in Indiana. This error was corrected by
the National Commission, but the correction
ignored. In addition TO this, the rest of the
tablet for this monument was written for diff
ferent position from that occupied by the monu.
ment aud for another day.
These various errors arose from two causes
an ignoring of the corrections of the National
Commission in the text for tablets and in not
submitting new tablets wien requests to change
the locations of monuments were approved but
instead casting the tablets for the first positions
and putting them upon the monuments i'll the
positions as last approved.
The monuments involved in this variety oil
errors are those to the 10Th battery and the fol-
lowing infantry regiments: 9th, 30th, 31st, 32d
44tb, 72d, 18th, 66th, and S8th. Two of the
above have errors in their tablets, and the tab
lets themselves are also out of proportion.
One regimental monument was found with
Crittenden's Corps" cut into one face, "Mc.
Cook S Corps" in bronze on another face, and a
large acorn, the badge of the fourteenth Corps,
OH the top.

ARMY AND NAVY.

The Navy and War Departments were the
centers of great activity ore day last week, Oh
account of the opening of the bids for war ma
terials. Many corporations and firms were
represented and proposals had been made for
supplying large quantity of gun steel, gun
carriages, mortars, and shot and shell of various
sizes and kinds. Probably not since the late
war has the Ordnance Bureau OF the War De-
partment been able to lay out so extensive a
program for one years work rs is now made
possible by the liberal appropriations made by
Congress Tor the defense Of our seacoasts. Con-
sequently, there were many bidders for supply
ing the large quantity of material, raw and COM
pete included in the first call for proposals.
and it was a noticeable fat that in the list of
bidders the names of firms mainly from
the West, that have never before had business
relations with the War Department..

which shows how easy it is for an enlisted man
to prefer charges against an officer and secure

Katahdin, was accused by machinist Of some
petty offense, and court-martial was ordered
by Admiral Bunce. The court has honorabiy
acquitted the Lieutenant and administered a
severe rebuke 10 the man for his conduct in
bringing charges which had no basis of truth
1t now turns out that the accuser was enlisted
fraudulently and had given the officers much
trouble. Lieut.. Colwell is one Of the best
