Thomas and those regiments, although
expecting such orders every hour are
maintaining their regular routine. The
Indicators are that the entire first
corps Will not get away for some time.
Many of the officers in the second d.
vision, first corps, do not expect to
leave Camp Thomas for Porto Rico
within d week or ten days.
With few exceptions the first corps
regiments are entirely equipped. As
each brigade consists of about 1000
men. and as there are seven brigades to
go out. this will cause removal from
Chickamauga of $4,000 men, in addition
to those already gone. 1t Will require
$50 cars of all kinds for each brigade.
To move one brigade d day is big job
and unless the troops embark at both
ROsSville AID Ringgold, no more than
this number can be handled readily.
Then it will require at least a day be-
tween TO collect cars and will take two
weeks at the very least to move seven
brigades.
Colonel Wilder, Fourteenth New
York, has gone 10 Washington. 1t is
said that he has gone to bring all posi-
bic pressure to bear to secure moving
orders for his command. Colonel
Wilder is an old West Pointer and has
many friends who stand close to the
administration. The First South
Carolina of the first corps will not be
included in the Porto Rican expedition,
and it is the hope of Colonel Wilder and

assigned II the place of the South

sHAFTER AND GARCIA.
Cuban Probably Never Saw the Al
legged Letter.

washington, July 25.-Nothing has
come yet from General Shafter to the
war department, either in the shape of
a cablegram or a mailed report, con-
tanning any reference to the cOrreSpOn-
dence supposed to have passed between
himself and General Garcia The Of
ficialS have no doubt that General
Shafter wrote a reply to the Garcia
letter. but they still refuse to believe
that Garcia. wrote or knew of the ini-
tiaI letter which was said to have been
addressed to General Shafter. One point
that seems to afford some basis for
this disbelief is General Skaters
statement that he invited General Car
cia TO be present at the ceremonies
attending the raising Of the American
flag over Santiago. 1t is hardly con-
ceiyable. therefore. that General Gar
cha should have made such a statement
as that attributed to him in the alleged
letter.
While regretting the friction that ex-
lists at Santiago between the CubanS
and the American forces, our govern
ment can see no cause at this moment
for a modification of the programme
it has outlined in the matter of the
government of that city. As one of the
ablest legal advisers of the administra-
ton has stated it. civil government
in a town like Santiago can exist only
in time of peace. In war time the
military arm must be supreme, and
until peace is gained, the only govern
ment that can be maintained over ter
ritory occupied by an army is mill
tary government. To attempt to be
guided by any other rule would be to
invite anarchy, and would lead TO
notable excuses. 1t is not intended by
this statement to reflect upon the
character of the Cubans or their abil-
ity for elf-government. but this rule
would and should be applied in any
conquered territory. 1t could not be
conceded for a moment that the United
States forces should go on capturing
cities in Cuba and then turn them
over, while the war existed, to an ele-
ment that had not been able them
selves to effect the capture. The posi-
ton of the government in this is be-
lieved to be exactly in accord with the
most advanced principles of govern
ment during time of war, and it is,
therefore. improbable that any change
will be made in the status at Santiago
until peace is attained"

Especial to The Herald.l

Nephi, July 25.-News reached here
shortly before noon today that a fatal
tragedy occurred at Leyan, between 10
and IL o'clock this morning, that put
sudden end to the pioneer celebration
at that place.
The particulars, as far as could be
learned from the excited messengers
who brought the news, are about as
follows:
More than usual preparations had
been been made to celebrate the day.
and among the features was a, parade
representing the Mormon battalion,
composed OF a number. of men, headed
by William Tunbridge. The parade had
been formed andsvwas marching on
Main street and about in front of the
Coop store when Andrew Hendrieksen
appeared in front of the procession
armed with a shotgun, and fired point
blank at Tunbridge. Hendricksen was
on horseback and his victim on foot
Tunbridge fell and expired in a few
minutes, having received a full charge
of shot An his head.
Hendricksen ran across lots to his
home where he was found by the con-
stable and a posse and taken to the
village Jail. Excitement ran high, and
the feeling against Hendricksen was so
intense that strong guard was placed
about the Jail to prevent an attempt to
deal summary with the prisoner.
Both Tunbridge and Hendricksen are
old residents Of the place and highly
respected. the former having been JUS
tice of the peace a number of years,
and no present cause can, so far, be
assigned for the terrible deed, although
it is understood that there was i'll feel
ing existing between the parties of long
standing. Report has it that Hendrick-
sen has for some time been considered
mentally ratified" and is known to
be of a very excitable and vindictive
nature.
The sheriff and four armed deputies
brought the prisoner here at O'Clock
and placed him behind the bars.
Upon being seen he refused TO make
any statement of the cause that led
TO the shooting. simply claiming that
there had been trouble between Tun-
bridge and himself for the past 10
years. This is not borne out by neigh
bors. who say they never knew of any
trouble between the two.
Hendricksen is credited with having
been enga ged in a shooting ARRAY at
Levan some five or six years ago, but
in getting clear at that time.
He is about 80 years of age and has a
wife and one child, while Tunbridge is
verging on so and leaves a wife and
four children.
The popular feeling is very bitter
against the homicide, but no attempt
was made to prevent the officers from
bringing him away, and an armed
guard escorted the officers and their
prisoner . distance.

Washington. July 25.-The war de-
partment was busy today hurrying the

petition against Porto Rico. Such
progress has been made that it is hoped

sumably will pick out suitable pace
for encamping his troops and establish
himself ashore. awaiting the arrival OF

Haines win sail today from NewDort
