sick soldiers, arrived at the Michigan
Central depot at Detroit with ll5 men.
1t was in charge of Col. Geo. A. Loud.
DIR. w. X. Lee, one of the physicians
who went south with the train, was
also aboard. Dr. Lee went to Hunts
vile with one car of the train for the
sick of the 32d regiment. He has
made written report to Col. Loud
about this side trip and in it he says
some pretty hard things about Col.
McGurrin and few of the other regi-
mental officers of the 32d. Without
single exception the soldiers say they
have received excellent treatment
from the physicians and nurses in
charge of the train. Twenty-four out
of the 115 men were considered sick
enough to be taken to the hospitals.
There were many touching scenes as

3ed Michigan Home.

The 32d Michigan volunteers arrived
at Island Lake after an unusually
pleasant journey for a military train.
The trip from Huntsville, Ala, was
one grand ovation all along the line.
At every little hamlet great crowds
gathered at the depot TO greet the
boys, and the farther north the regi-
ment proceeded, the greater became
the audiences TO welcome them.
Through Indiana and Ohio, at every
depot where the train stopped, the cars
were surrounded by women, with flags
and every kind of delicacy to feed the
boys.
The train was made of four sections
as follows: First section-Cos. X, De-
troit, 81 men, three officers; NJ, Detroit,
80 mon, three officers; l, Detroit, 50

three officers; Il, Grand Rapids, IS men,

names. A detail of two officers and Is
men was left as a guard over the divis-
ion hospital at Fernandina. OF the re-
naming go men, some have died,
many are away on furloughs, some are
still in the hospitals. The sick on the
sections were sent in the hospital cars
to Detroit and from there to their re-

Winter Camps I'm the South.

All the troops now stationed in the
northern camps are to be moved south
as rapidly as possible. Within a short
time the last troops remaining at Camp
WilSoff will have departed, and those
at Camp Meade will be moved south
soon after. The latter will probably
go to Huntsville, Ala. The troops at
Knoxville, where the 3lst Michigan
regiment is now located, will probably
remain at that camp until the assign
ments are made for the military occu-
patton of Cuba. 1t is not the inten-
ton, however, To send the army of oc-
cupation 10 Cuba until the unhealthy
season has passed, and meanwhile the
troops will be put in the best possible
condition.

Faure May Resign,

Leading French papers assert that
President Faure, rather than allow n
revision of the Dreyfus case, will re-
sign and seek reelection by the ma
tional assembly convened to elect his
successor Among the rumors in cir
culation regarding the Dreyfus case is
that an arrest still more sensational
than any is imminent. Another report
says that when Gen. Zurlinden, minis
ter for war, resigns, legal action for
revision will be commenced before his
successor is appointed.
