Washington, Aug 10-The officers ana
men of the Third Virginia are indignant
because of what they say are false re-
ports in regard to disturbance at Camp
Alger Monday evening. They say that
the trouble started in report that
hospital steward had been murdered by
a colored man. The crowd which cross
ed the sentry lines, they say, was COM
posed of about thirty Virginia men, fifteen
or twenty from the First Connecticut and
ten or fifteen soldiers from other regi-
ments.
This crowd, they say, was soon brought
into camp by an officer of the Third Vir-
ginla. Afterwards a much larger number
of soldiers gathered to learn the cause

rious disturbance.
Gen. Butler, it is said, arrived on the
scene near the close of the incident, and
owing to the hjghly-colored stories that
had reached him, took a serious view of
the occurrence. A statement, signed by
twenty-eight officers of the Third Vir
ginia, says that great injustice has been
done one of the best disciplined regiments
in the service by a statement that the
Vrginians would not obey their officers
and were forced to return by other regi-
ments under arms.

been seen since the affair, but is believed
not to have suffered from the injuries.
Two deaths have been reported since

for the Third Time.


Newport News, Va, Aug. 10.-After go
ing aboard the transport OLDHAM this
morning Col. Culver, commanding the
Fifth Illinois Regiment, received orders
late this afternoon to disembark his men
and await further orders.
The order created considerable digaD-

the ship like soldiers, saying that not
withstanding 1t was the third time they
had been disappointed, they would bear It
like men.

Illinois Regiment will embark for Porto
Rico shortly, though Col. Culver Is wait
ing orders to return to the transport and

the causes assigned for the delay is the
strike of the Obdams engineers for their

VIRGINIANs PROTEST.
Don't Like the Treatment of the
Third by GEN. Butler.

Washington, Aug. 1O-A number of
enter protest against the action of Gen.
Butler in his wholesale condemnation of
the Third Virginia Regiment Among
those here are: Attorney General Monta-
que, Congressman Lamb and Park Agnew,
and Senator DanieE is understood to be on
his way. The Virginians claim that the
episode in which their regiment was in
volved was not nearly so sensational as
Gen. Butler makes out and they say that
the general was acting under a misunder-
standing. They are disposed to think that
Gen. Butler grew needlessly excited over
the happenings, and are SO confident of
their ability to show this that they have
asked for a general investigation, which
has been promised by the war department.
According to the story told by these gen
tlemen, what Gen. Butler took for q mob
was the turning out of the regiment in
response to the long roll. They say that
when Gen. Butler heard of the fight he
tween some of the members of the re gi-
ment and the negro teamster, who was
al the bottom of the whole matter, ne sent
his son to investigate. The son found
there was very little in It, and went back
to so report, but il was raining so aard
that he missed the general, whom him
self hurried to the scene. They claim that
the men returned when ordered 10 do so
by their officers, and that when Cen But
Ter reached their camp they were Just
turning out in response to the long roll
1t was raining hard, and the general mis-
took this for a movement after the negro,
and ordered the regiment to be placed Un-
der arrest The Virginians are bitter In
their complaints that this charge should
be made against The regiment, and declare
their intention of pushing the case until
there is full investigation Of all the cir
cumstances.
