Although waiting is not particularly
interesting occupation, it tres ana

The troops here have not been under any
anxious strain, however for they seem
to think that when the right time comes

will get along as best we can. Nothing

have remarked elsewhere that vic

that discipline is the firm foundation
upon which the grand superstructure OF
victory must rest" Hence my confidence
in our soldiers and their ability TO meet
all requirements.
At this writing the Fifth Corps, com
manded by Gen. Shafter, has its Head
quarters at Tampa, and the work OF
organization has been progressing rapidly.
Each corps is composed of two divisions
and each division of three brigadeS; the
number of regiments in brigade varies

Field artillery is absolutely necessary TO

evident by the fact she is now Increasing

With fresh arrivals of both officers and
