where the Thrty-second Michigan,
Third and Fifth Ohio, and Second Georgia
are located. This, however, is but a
temporary arrangement for the concen-
tration Of the volunteer troops.
LEE LIKES CAMP-GROUND.
General Lee is pleased with the camp
ground, which is really the most favora-
BILE around Tampa, having plenty OF
shade and water, but all the available
room for troops in that locality is now
utilized, and there Is no room for drilling
purposes.
Should there be no immediate moving
out Of the regular troops, i'm which case
the volunteers would occupy the old camp
fairgrounds, it is very probable that some
new location will be sought, If not at
Tampa, then at some other point. Both
Jacksonville and Miami have been con-
sidered in this respect.
The availability of Jacksonville, espe-
cially as a rendezvous point for the thou
sands of volunteer troops yet to arrive, |
has, ii is understood, been under discus |
sion, and General Lees visit of inspec- |
ton to the Florida metropolis yesterday |
may ultimately result in the establish |
ment of the headquarters Of the Seventh |
Army Corps at that point. All this, of |
course, is contingent on the time of the |
movement towards Cuba.
