 CHICKAMAUGA NATIONAL MILL TARY PARK, June 1.-The event of to-day at Chickamauga was the eXecu- tion of General Fred Grants battle problem, which comprises a number of new and difficult maneuvers, and was watched with great interest by officers and men. The maneuvers were all well carried out according to General Grant S eXcellently conceived plan, and the fact was demonstrated that many of them would be very useful in actual conflict The battle began at o'clock and was concluded before noOn
 
 nation. The first, consisting of the First Vermont, the Third Tennessee and the Eighth New York regiments, was commanded by Colonel Clark of Yer mont, and was formed along the Vine yard road. The second column, consist ing of the Fourteenth New York, Sec ond Nebraska and First Missouri, under command of Colonel Charles J. Bills of Nebraska, formed on the Ford road
 On the first hill the two columns met. when the struggle was begun in earn est. When this was finished General Grant threw the two columns together to ward off supposed attack from some direction of which he was SUD- posed to have knowledge In advance.
 General Grant was highly pleased with the way in which the maneuvers were executed as were also General Brooke and all the other officers pres ent.
 Governor Hastings and staff of Penn sylvania spent the day witnessing the sham battle, inspecting the Pennsyl- vania troops and driving over the field.
 The First Kentucky Infantry, 1900 of ficers and men, under Colonel John B. Castleman, arrived this morning. The number of Kentucky men on the field is 5000.
 The driveways through the park are being cut to pieces by thousands of wagons. The Park Commissioners will probably put a large force at work on the roads during the next few days.
 A number of recruiting officers left for home States this morning. Under the late recruiting order the full com plement for company of infantry is 106 men; for troop of cavalry, 100 men; for a battery of light artillery, 173 men; for battery of heavy artil- lery, 200 men.
 The health of the camp continues to be good and the authorities are en- couraged to believe that there will be very little serious sickness. There are still a large number of regiments par tially or totally lacking uniforms.

 CHICAGO, June 11.-Andrew Carne- gle has sent the following communica- ton to the Scottish Highlanders of Illf- nois in answer to their request asking him to equip a regiment of Highlanders for service in the war with Spain, the regiment to be uniformed in Highland fashion at the expense of MT. Carnegie and to bear his name:
 "LANGHAM HOTEL. LONDON, May 30-I do not believe that the war will last long, or ever reach the dignity of a real war. You will see Spain go all to pieces; much sooner than you could get the historical Highland garb pro- vided for the regiment proposed. If the country were seriously threatened and needed stalwart men who could be trusted to carry any position they were ordered upon, then I should consider the matter. Meanwhile I believe I am honored by the suggestion that body of my countrymen from the center of triumphant democracy should think of connecting my name with this regi- ment ANDREW CARNEGIE"
 An effort will be made to organize the regiment if prospects point to a continuance of the war
