JACKSONVILLE, FLA, June 3.-(Spe-
al.)-To-day was much more lively N

guard-houses of nearly all the regiments

the civil authorities were numerous.
There were a good many fights, some Of
them more or less serious. Private

CAPTAIN Salamonsky. who had ordered
him 10 be placed under arrest. 1t re-
auired several of the guard and MEM
bers OF Company Il to take Jackson TO
the guard-house. where he is confined,
awaiting trial This is by far the most
serious case that has arisen among the
Virglnians thus far.

that every regiment in camp has a can
