DISORDERLY SOLDIERS
Conceal Themselves From the Board
of Survev

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 1s.-The board
of survey appointed to discover the Ten
nessee volunteers responsible for the out
rage on the Thomas family has made its
report to General Miller.
The board reports that it has been unable
to discover the names of any of the partici-
pants in the riot except those of the four
Tennesseeans who have been tried already
by rtmartial-Anderson, Davis, Clark
and Scruggs. In the report the board
states its belief that members of the Kan
sas. New York and Iowa regiments and the
California heavy artillery We're a par. Of
the mob, but that the greater part of it was
from Tennessee. There is no evidence to
show that injury TO the property of the
Thomases was caused by other than Ten
nesseeans, and IL is the belief of the board
nat most of tbs other comma rdS that
joined themselves to the Tennesseeans were
attracted as spectators.

WINTER QUARTERS
Badly Needed But Will Not Be Pro-
vided

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 1s.-While Gen.
eral Miller, In command of the Preside
military post. is strongly In favor Of substi-
tuting substantial barracks for the tents
now in use. he will not act In the matter
until the return Of General Merriam from
Honolulu.
Without any express appropriation by
congress for the purpose, says General MIL
Ter, nothing but temporary structures can
be erected for barracks. But even those
would be vastly superior to the scant pro-
lection against the elements which the
tents afford.
The necessity OF more careful housing
Of the troops during the coming winter Is
made apparent by the increase in the sick
list at Camp Merriam. There were nine
new cases reported today at the division
field hospital. making 3lS in all. as against
400 when the camp was moved. Among
the new cases are two of measles and one
suspected typhoid fever case. All Of the
patients are progressing favorably and
none is reported to be in immediate dam
ger. General Miller has received no ad-
vices regarding the movement Of troops
now here, either to Honolulu or Manila.

DRUNKEN SOLDIERS
Give Rise to Reports OF Attack on
Negroes

CAMP POLAND, Knoxville, Tenn, Sept.
ia sensational report was circulated last
night and this morning charging the First
Georgia regiment with having made an
attack upon the North Carolina regiment.
An investigation today resulted In the f1nd-
ing that no attack was made, and no one
was killed or injured, as reported. The
foundation for the report was the fact shat
several drunken soldiers who CHANGED 20
pass near the North Carolina camp yester-
day fired their pistols, and the negroes be-
lieved this to be challenge for fight. Tho
officers gave the report no credence, how
ever. and succeeded in quieting the colord
soldiers suspicious and fears by assuring
them of protection in the event Of any
trouble. No attack has been made by either
the Georgia or any other regiment, and all
fear of such an attack is ridiculed by the Of
ficers of all the commands.

member of the bridgeport police gained
possession of the woman's dismembered
be dy found in Yellow Mill pond and brought
here by Frank w. Perkins, who had mis-
taken 1t for that of his daughter, Grace.
The town was scarcely awake this morn
ine when Detective George Arnold of the
Bridgeport police arrived The first thing
he did was to call upon Undertaken VIII
lams, who brought the remains of the
unknown woman from Taunton last night.
and requested that they be delivered to
him. Mr.. Williams informed the detective
that he intended to hold them until he re-
ceived definite orders from the coroner at
Bridgeport to give them up. supplemented
by Il sworn statement from Mr.. PERKINS
that the fragments of the body in the box
were not those of his daughter
At noon telegram was received from
the coroner address to Undertaken VIII
liams and containing an order to give up
the body to Arnold.
Mr.. Perkins was induced to sign the
statement demanded by the undertaken.
With the two documents, Arnold again
presented himself at the undertaker's and
obtained the body, which was in an ad-
vanoed stage of decomposition.
Miss Perkins appears very much uncon-
cerncd regarding the whole affair and looks
on it as more of joke than anything else.
She kept indoors all day, and although the
house was well surrounded by curious peo-
pie, few caught even a glimpse of her. The
Rournes are ever closer-mouthed that the
Perkins family, although denying emphat-
ical)y that the two are married. Members
Rournes are even closer-mouthed than the
nroner time a statement will be made as to
