Tampa, Fla, May 25.-This has been a
warm, dry day in camp, but the Second
Regiment of Georgia have been busy as
beavers all day. Col Brown can boast OF
having the most Industrious and hand~
soonest lot OF men encamped in Florida
Their camps are all nicely arranged and
the boys are as courteous and polite to
visitors as dancing masters. Hundreds OF
people went to see them to-day and all
admired the Georgia. boys. There is a vast
distinction between the Savannah compa-
ny and tho rest of the volunteers and reg
uars, as that company is attired in grays
while the other boys all wear blue. Tho
new summer uniforms viii arrive shortly
and they cannot come too quick to please
the boys, as the ones they are now wears
Ing are very uncomfortable.
Lieut.. Col. Garrard and Maj. Award and
Kendrick have made many friends during
their short stay here and the people of
Tampa have received them into social cir
clos most graciously. They are all tipton
gentlemen, highly pleased with Tampa,
and our people will give them the best
we have in the way of social pleasures
The Georgia boys are fully aware of tho
IfFa., ,fag.
compelled to encounter during hostiities.
but this does not lessen their desire to-
move on to Cuba They think that ie
they have got to fight that they viii do il
nobly and with credit to the great country
whose flag they intend to honor.
Many officers of other regiments visited
the Georgia regiment to-day, consulted
with Col. Brown and his staff as to the
probable manner In which the troops
would be moved to the battlefield, and
every soldier was anxious to learn when
and how the troops would go but not even
Gen. Shafter himself knows The boys
are contentng themselves by getting used
TO regular soldier life in the most pic
turesque camping grounds in all Florida.
Express wagons loaded with delicacies for
thc NfeofSidnS mace their way to the camu
this morning and when the packages were
opened they contained many nice things
10 eat and many other little dainties that
only a mother or sister could send their
dear ones. 1t was indeed touching scene.
Tears trickllng down the cheeks Of big.
red-faced stalwart men when receiving
tokens from those near and dear to them
shows how the human heart throbs al the
thought Of leaving their all for the sake
of their country.
Sheriff Spencer now has In custody the
two Spanish spies arrested by the govern
ment secret service men within the past
two days.
Jose Castellanos, who was arrested Nom
day evening as he was ready to leave the
city by Detective Edward Donnelly, Is one
of them, and the other is Frank Miller. a
Canadian, who was detected yesterday af-
ternoon by the agents who work under
Lieut.. Col. Wagner. Mystery surrounds
the circumstances leading to the arrest OF
Miller. The proof against him is said to
be conclusive. although such matters are
closely guarded secrets by the war depart-
ment. II Is proved that he was Ia direcb
communication with people in Montreal.
Canada who are known to be spies and
that Is the strongest evidence against him.
What disposition viii be made OF the two
men II would be next to impossible to
learn. Hanging by secret court martiak
VIII probably be the result
