army, has telegraphed the surgeons here not to give furloughs to any men too sick to travel alone. Many men who have gone home on sick leave have been taken i'll on the way because they do not deny them- selves injurious articles of food. Any fur loughed soldier from now on will not be allowed to leave the camp In delicate health and without full instructions as to how to care for himself on the road.
 The First Ohio cavalry received orders today to move to the state rendezvous as soon as transportation can be secured, leaving all stock and equipment in camp. The regiment will probably be able to get away by Wednesday next.

COL. HIGDON GIVEN
 A GREAT OVATION Men Began Cheering as Soon as He Appeared in Camp. EVERY MAN SHOOK HIS HAND Boys Are Jubilant Over the Muster-Out Order, but Want to Be Sent to
 Birmingham Instead
 of Mobile.

Jacksonville, September 3.-(Specia'.)- This has been day of great enthusiasm among the boys of the First Alabama regi- ment. The first incident to gladden. the hearts of the brave boys was the an- nouncement that an official order had been received at headquarters ordering the regi- ment moved to Mobile as soon as the nec- essary arrangements could be made, there t7. be mustered out of service. This was received with great applause throughout the entire camp, and the widest enthusi- asm prevailed.
 The second incident occurred about 1 o'clock when the special courier of Colonel E. L. Higdon was seen leading the colonels horse through camp. It was immedia .ey whispered around that Colonel Higdon was to arrive in a few minutes, and this again frightened the recent gloomy faces of 9l per cent. of the rank and file of the First Alabama
 In short time the guard was seen to line up and some one yelled Colonel Hig- don. This was enough. The boys came piling out of their tents in every direction and rushing toward the guard line like mad men, yelling at every jump. The guard tried to stop them, but they rushed right over the guard until they reached Colonel Higdon.
 There with lifted hat and bowed head the colonel smiled with delight They fol- lowed him through the camp and begun gathering around his tent. He was forced to come out and then a general hand-shak- ing with his men began. This was kept up for almost an hour until. every man in camp had shaken the hand of the colonel. It was touching to hear the kind express sions of the men and see an occasional tear run down Colonel Higdon's face It was noticeable that only three or four of the other commissioned officers came to meet him.
 The entire regiment is unanimous in it's desire to be sent to Bir mingham to be mustered out of service.
 The men fear the inconvenience of a vel low fever quarantine if sent to Mobile, and. besides, they would rather be mustered out nearer home.

NINE NEW CASES
 FEVER AT ORWOOD
So Far Only Developed in MiId-
 <,.t est Form.
TOTAL NUMBER CASES 26
With the Four Additional Gases Dis covered at Taylor Station-Alabama
 Quarantine Lines Extended to Meet all Infected Points.

Jackson, Miss, September 3.-Nine new cases of yellow fever were reported to the board of health today from Orwood.
 They are as follows: William White. Mrs. l. c. Crowell, Mrs. J. c. Treloar, H. E. Sims, Miss Maggie Orr, G. w. Stogner, J. J. McCarter and two cplored children named Alexander. One child was found six miles east of Waterford, but the name of the patient could not be learned.
 The disease so far has only developed ir it's mildest form. As before stated, the neighborhood is sparsely settled, the resi- dences in the section being from one-hal1 to one mile apart, and the country is higt and dry The new cases are directly trace. able to the originating ones.
 One case has developed at Waterford, a small village five miles east of Water Val ley. The board regards the situation as rather serious.
 Surgeon Carter of the United States ma rine hospital service left for Taylor's Sta tion and Orwood today on a special train.
 There are now twenty-two cases at Or wood. One death has occurred.
 The inspectors of the board of health re- port tonight that they have found four cases of yellow fever at Taylor's Station. This is reassuring, in view of the fact that Taylor's has been regarded as the seat of the infection. All the cases are of a mild type Water Valley has been inspected and found free of fever.

"The president of our great country has come here to greet the soldiers that march, ed so gallantly up San Juan hill on July 1. lie comes here to express the nation s thanks to these brave men. l wish to tell you that when the president sent me here two weeks ago to command this camp, he enJolned me in the most emphatic language that l should, without regard to expense, make comfortable this body of brave men, who, by their courage, have raised this re- public to the highest position among the great nations of the earth. I have the hon. or and pleasure of introducing to you the president of the United States"
 Gratitude of Nation
 The president said: General Wheeler. Soldiers of Camp Wikoff, Soldiers of the Fifth Army Corps-I am glad to meet you. l am honored to stand before you today. I bring to you the gratitude of the nation. You have come home after two months of severe campaigning, which has embraced assault, siege and battle, so brilliant in achievement, so far-reaching in results as to command the unstinted praise of all your countrymen. You had the brunt of the bat tie on land. You bore yourselves with su- preme courage, and your personal bravery, never before excelled anywhere, has won the admiration of your fellow-citizens and the genuine respect of all mankind, while your endurance under peculiar trial and suffering has given added meaning to your heroism Your exertions made easy the conquest of Porto Rico under the resistless army commanded by General Miles and be- hind you to proceed at a moments sum- mon were more than 100000 of your com rades ready to support you. Disappointed that the opportunity which you had. filled them with pride at your well earned fame and rejoicing upon your signal victories.
 "You were on the line of battle: they, no less than you were in the line of duty. All have served their country In it's need, all will serve it so long as they may be re- quired, and all will forever have the thanks and regard of a grateful people.
 The Other Heroes
 I've cannot bid you welcome here today without our hearts going out to the heroes of Manila on and on land whose ser vices and sacrifices, whose courage and constancy in that far distant field of oper- ations have never been surpassed by any soldiers or steamers the world over. To the army, navy, to the marines, to the reg u,ars, volunteers and to that providence which has watched over them all, the na- tion today is full of thanksgiving and praise. The brave officers and men who fell in battle and those who have died from exposure and sickness will live in immortal history and their memories will be perpet- uated in the histories of a generous people and those who are dependent upon them will not be neglected by the government for which they so freely sacrificed their lives.'
 The soldiers cheered many times. That
