HOW THE THIRD cor THERE.
Strenuous Efforts Put Forth to BE the
Ranking REGIMENT.

when a member of the Third Regiment
rolled over in his sleep last night and half
walked UP he chucisled at the march the
regiment had stolen over the Second, and
the elation at becoming a real United
States soldier was doubled by the knowl-
edge that when the Second and Third Regi
ments and Battery a move TO the South

was received by Captain May as to the ex-
act hour that these officers will arrive in
this city, but he expects them early this
apprehended in securing the horses needed.
In this connection it is proper to state that
the field officers are having considerable
trouble in securing their own horses. The
supply of desirable animals is exceedingly
small and the prices have advanced to ex-
orbitant figures. Only yesterday DR.. Gar
stang, wishing to secure a MOUNT commune
Gated with dealer with a view to pur-
chasing 1t and learned to his amazement
that the animal was held by the owner at
bring moro than $l25. On all sides the horse
dealers have taken advantage of the situa-
ton, knowing that the officers must secure
horses and at once. Knowing themselves
TO be masters of the situation they are nam
ing any price that suits their fancy and it
IS propaple that the ohcers VINO are still
double and perhaps treble the value of the
horses to secure them.

Two More Prizes Brought to Key
West-RefuEees from Havana ON
French War Ship.

MADRID, May 10.-A dispatch received
here from Havana this afternoon says the
Spanish steamer Montserrat which, with
valuable cargo troops and large sum of
money intended for Havana, escaped the
United States fleet and entered the port of
Cienfuegos, has now run the blockade OF
the American squadron and has entered
the port of Havana in safety. 1t is claimed
here that this proves the blockade of the
Cuban ports is ineffective.
The Spanish mail steamer Montserrat,
which is alleged to have run the blockade
at Havana, appears to have reached Glen
fuegos on April q, with 1000 Spanish SOL
diers and $500 900 in silver and eighteen guns
of large calibre, in addition to a very val
liable cargo, including a quantity of am
muniton. The Spaniards claim the Mont
serrat was sighted by an American man-of-
war, which fired on her. The mail steamer,
it is alleged, mounting guns as an aux
iliary cruiser, returned the fire and even
tually reached Cienfuegos.
So many utterly false reports have been
given out in Madrid recently that American
confirmatio of the arrival of the Montser-
rat at Havana will have to be required be-
fore the story of her blockade running is
accepted as truth.

LETTER FROM CULPEPER.

MITcHELL's STATION, Feb. 14.-The
good people of Hudson's Mill neigh
borhood are in fever of excitement
over ths sudden death Saturday of
most amiab.e boy of Is or II years of
age, the second son OF one of its most
respected citizens, who is a widower
with a family of three sons and one
daughter about IS years of age. The
latter had become infatuated with
married man. The business of Il o
father and eldest son called them away
from home very frequently. The tv o
younger boys remained at home to pre-
tect the sister. She bribed the young
est to silence, but it is re-
ported the elder Lad informed his
father of the clandestine visits of this
married man and that in revenge the boy
was poisoned by his sister. The child
was buried yesterday and steps are
being taken which will probably lead
to the arrest of the guilty parties.
Yours very truly, J. r. SHOOT.
