the orders of the War Department and
can at a moments notice be ordered any
where. whether it be Camp Alger or
Puerto Rico. Captain Springstead's COM
pany was mustered in yesterday morning.
He a quite some trouble with the last
two or three men, but they were finally
all right, and the company marched across
tho field to Captain Buffers tent and
were mustered into the service. The
company on its return was halted just
outside the camp, while the company
street was cleared of all those who had
no business there, such as camp loungers,
rejected applicants and so on. The COM
pany is practically composed Of Jersey
City men and win after some thorough in
struction make a most excellent one. The
non-commissioned officers who were mus
tered in will probably be almost entirely
changed. The only settled warrant is that
Of Private II. E. Ely of Company !, who is
to be first sergeant. He is a hard worker
and has practically done the work of all
the non-eommissioned officers of the com
pany.
