CAMP THOMAS, Ca, July 18.--News reach
ed US this morning that the Twelfth Mime
sofa Is not to be included in the list of
those to be sent on the next expedition and

last chance.
Col. Bobleter has decided to close the can
teens, and the boys are now to drink water
until our sick list is lowered The well on
our grounds has been condemned and we are
TO use the water Of the Blue springs entire
~ This has been done because of the
number OF the boys who are in quarters

when, the list of regiments was made up
for the next expedition.
Company H was without an officer yester-
in command in the afternoon at regimental
drill and Lieut.. Day this morning on bat
TALON drill. The boys cheered them both, as
they dismissed the company, showing how
well Lieuts. Yodder and Day liked in
the regiment.
Lieut.. Henton is officer of the guard at
reglmental headquarters and Lieut. Denny

The recruits are being put on duty now
and are full f1edged soldiers in every re-
spect. They have done exceedingly well and
are no longer the awkward squad. Sergeant
Blair went to Chattanooga today to get his
glasses fixed. There was trough house"
in Tent No. 10 the other evening, and his

rough houses are common occurrence and
have a good effect. ~ Eh. :

words was dispensed with and those in the
tents on each side OF No. 10 were virtually
guard houses. where those who were apt to
forget themselves were cautioned that there

were treated with the greatest respect and
the visit cheered us all. The firm of Els

meals in his own original and tasty manner.
Capt; Smith took command of the COM
pany today and the boys are singing his
praises with the same energy they used
toward Capt. Griswold. We have the larg-

of tactics, coupled with his energy, will
make Of Company H the leading company
of the best drilled regiment on the grounds
With our sorrow at losing Capt. Griswold

the position. Sergeant Grant is in charge
of the rifle detail today. Corporal Bingham

Lieut. Henton has a new duck uniform

of suspenders.
