LIFE AT CHICKAMAUGA,

Private A. G. Fitzpatrick of Co. B,
Portland Cadets, who is one of the con-
yalescent soldiers that arrived from
Chickamauga Friday morning. was seen
by PRESS man Saturday tevening at his
home on Quincy street, and although he is
still quite weak from his sickness, he is
gaining strength and talked entertain
ingly of camp life and the experience of
our boys there. He said that many of the
boys had written home telling of their ex-
periences, and although there was much
truth in what they said, some Of the ac-
counts were perhaps little overdrawn.
He hoped that all the regiment would
soon be in Maine and then the friends
of it's members could judge for them
selves as to how the troops had been
treated, both in camp and hospital. Mr..
Fitzpatrick in his remarks put the best
side of the hardships out and placed no
blame on anybody shoulders. He said:
"Chickamauga Park itself is considered
to be very healthy place and some OF
the high officers are authority for this
statement. They claim the trouble is
that there are too many MEN in it now.
Our present camp is on high, open
field and on two sides it is marshy, with
a creek running through it. When it
rains the creek overfows and it is then
very damp and unhealthy. The other
two camps were under trees. In fact
these sites were selected at the time on
account of the shade which the trees
afforded, but rs sickness soon began to
break out we finally moved to our present
camp.
"When we first struck the park we
prided ourselves on being such healthy
regiment, but the boys soon began to
complain of not feeling we'll, stomach
trouble being very prevalent. Then
came malaria and typhoid fever during
the rainy season, and the ambulance
would often have to make two trips a day
from the regiment to the division hos
pital. I was sick in the hospital about
one week, but did not see any of the

the Brooklyn, Rear Admiral Schley' s
flagship, had of the intended welcome
that all New York was prepared to give
them, was the arrival of tug from the
navy yard this morning, with dispatches
announcing the days programme. In q
few minutes a signal was displayed
"Dress ship with mast head flags" and
up to he main went the big flags. The
Brooklyn possessed no new ones, and the
battered stars and stripes that flew on
July in defiance Of the swarm of
Spanish bullets, took their places at the
main.
Nearing the city and turning into the
channel it was slgnalled from the forward
bridge of the Brooklyn that commo-
dore's flag was flying from the masthead
of the Texas. This news Rear Admiral
Schley received with tho words: Dear
old Jack. He deserves it. Signal my
congratulations to him."
Shortly after this incident the Assoc
ciated Press boat Wanda ran alongside
and put on board a package for Rear Ad-
miral Schley, telling him that he had
been made rear admiral, and also q
member OF a commission to settle the
government of Porto r leo. The Brook
Ign was rendered a generous ovation all
along the march, and countermarch and
was surrounded by boats the entire time.
This is something to remember for q
lifetime. said Rear Admiral Schley to
group of officers, ''and you can't tell me
that the people are ungrateful Every one
of you must feel yourselves rev arded by
this great welcome and these congratula-
tions.''
When the parade was over the flagship
New York signalled for all commanding
officers to come on board and Rear Adj
miral Schley temporarily left the Brook
lyn AS she lay awaiting his return she
was the centre of hundreds of small boats
with bands and trumpets and shrill
whistles. and filled with enthusiastic
crowds of Americans.
The cheers and cries of welcome were
equally shared by the Oregon and Texas.

FUN AT CAMP THOMAS.
Athletic Sports Vary the Monotony of Life
at Chfckamauga.

Chickamauga, Chattanooga National
Park, August 2O.-The field day exercises
on Snodgrass field today were witnessed

army and hundreds of civilians.
The exercises are the erst of series de-
cided upon by Gen. Breckenridge to fur

LIST Maine Regiment,
ChiokamauQa Park, Lytle. Ca,
August Is, 1898.
Rarely in the history of great nation
whose tendencies are toward peace. is
there an opportunity for such display
Of military splepdor as that witnessed
at Camp Thomas yesterday. The occasion
was that of the review of Gen. Breckin-
ridges entire command, including cav
airy artillery and infantry, together with
the ambulance companies of the respec-
tive divisions and the signal corps. Fully
A, 600 soldiers passed the reviewing
stand between Q a. m. the starting hour,
and noon. We had five mile march
from our camp to Snodgrass in order to
take up our position for review. Tho
roads were in bad condition, the men
tramping through three or four inches
of dust which caused a cloud to arise
and with the strong rays of the sun
added to the discontinue of the Maine
boys.
Arriving at Snodgrass the order was
given to stand at ease, which was readily
parade. At the previous review the
Chattanooga Times said the Maine regi-
ment held its reputation as being one of
this best drilled regiments In the park.
OF yesterday, the Chattanooga News
says:
"Gen. Mattocks came next with his
division. In this the 1st Maine came
first, with good band playing mill
tary march. These boys put up great
drill and loud were the. shouts raised
at intervals along the linss.''
The Chattanooga Times says:
'The regiment presented a very attrac-
tive appearance in the review yesterday
and the Toys proved themselves to be
drilled in most excellent manner. Col
Kendall stated that he was we'll pleased
with the result of the review. The
colonel has received many very high
compliments, from disinterested parties,
from Chattanooga and other points, on
the magnit cent appearance of his regi-
ment. The men were clad in the new
khaki trousers, which showed them off
to good advantage before Gen. Breckin-
ridge and the thousands of spectators"
ON THE SICK LIST.
Capt Bird of H. Company, who has
been on the sick list for the past few
days, reported for duty yesterday.
Lieut.. Hobbs left Tuesday night for
his home in Westbrook, where he goes on
sick leave.
Lieut.. Lord. who has been i'll in Chat
tanooga for several weeks with typhoid
fever, is reported as still being very sick
and will probably not be able to report
for duty to the regiment for some time
yet.
NJ. company has certainly been unfor-
tunate as regards the sick, the first scr
geant filling the duties of captain, first
lieutenant and second lieutenant, who
have been all placed on the sick and
furlough lists. First Lieutenant +. A.
Chaplin of B company. who recently ar
rived from Portland after recruiting, re-
ceived orders to transfer to NJ company
to take command.
Col Kendall believes that the regiment
will receive orders to move from the park
in very short time.

A GREAT SPEECH.

We publish this week the speech
of Edward O. Wolcott before the
company celebrating Founders day
in New York, Wednesday night of
last week. This is the society of
corpulent yankees which meets an
nually at Delmonico's to eat high
toned grub and drink yellow top on
the anniversary of the landing of the
May Flower. At these convivial
meetings they praise and admire one
another, until the cerebrun expands
beyond the comfortable capacity Of
the cranial cavity and the bigoted
assembly thinks its members the
wisest and most illustrious men upon
the earth.
1t is evident that the views held
by these descendants of forefathers
have grown distresslngly narrow.
Continually gloating over personal
glory which exists only in their i'm
aginations, sharpended by the fre-
quently brushing against English
people and customs, they cannot be
else than narrow. And the morbid
influence Of their annual baccanalian
toots is exerted all over New Eng
land until her people forget that
there is a great and growing west
whose interests are inseparably link
ed with those Of New England, but
which are daily trampled upon.
Sen. Wolcptt sounds key note
of sonnd Americanism and his
speech is worthy Of praise. 1t is
statesmanlike, diplomatic and liter
airy, and bcspeaks the power of the
master mind that framed it. 1t is
one of the best speeches ever delis
cred to the sons of their fathers up
on such an occasion.
