GOSSIP OF THE CAMP.
From a Staff Correspondent.


Camp Algor Va June 29.-Lieuten-
ant Colonel G. G. Mates, acting as
corps officer of the day, yesterday held
the highest military position he ever
occupied. Only one officer could give
him commands i'm anything relating to
the camp and that was the corps com
mander General Graham. For twenty
four hours he had over 10000 men at
his bidding,
Major Parke's suggestion that the
hour Of guard mount be changed has
been adopted by Major General Gra-
ham, and hereafter that arduous duty
will follow dress parade, in the eve
ming.
1t would seem that some of the au-
thorities are anxious to cause unneces-
sary excitement. 1t now deVelopes
that the ten ambulances hurried over
10 Dunn Loring station Monday were
sent thither solely for the purpose of
carting back some hospital supplies.
The only reason that can be assigned
TO the refusal to divulge the purpose
OF the move is that they did not want
TO scatter the startling information
that hospital supplies had really been
received. 1t might also have been i'm
the mind of the chief surgeon that
some newspaper correspondent might
ask him if this is the first lot of hos
pital supplies received.
The bandmen are to be detached
from their companies and housed to-
gether in the big Sibley tent on the
non-cOms street, formerly occupied
by the hospital corps. Chief Musician
Miles occupies a separate tent near By.
Division Inspector Butler will have a
better opinion of the Thirteenth's
guards hereafter. Last night he rode
up TO the Thirteenth's lines and when
ne did not show proper alacrity in
halting and dismounting the sentry
charged on him with his bayonet.
