SOLDIERS WAITING FOR JUNE PAY.
Regulars at jefferson and Fort Sheridan
Anxious for Cash.

Washington, July 12.-Uncle Sam mas
not paid his soldiers for the month OF
June and some of them have grown
tired of waiting. Several soldiers OF the
Third cavalry, stationed at Jefferson
barracks, Missouri, have written to war
department headquarters In Washington
demanding their money.
The soldiers at Fort Sheridan have not
been paid. 1t is said that about $65,ooo
is due the enlisted men at the various
posts of the department of the Missouri
under the command Of Major General
Brooke at Chicago. The appropriation
for the pay Of the army in the fiscal
wear ending June so fell short about
5000 COO. and clause appropriating that
sum has Just been inserted in the gen.
eral deficiency bill now pending in the
senate. -,
IT is probable that the soldiers VII
get their pay within the next two
weeks. Uncle Sam does not often ge
| behind in his payments, and the pres
! ent lapse is due to an oversight by TIT
paymaster general Of the army.
