speech-making galore.
Col. Jones threw Camp Dyer open to the
public this afternoon and thousands of
colored citizens, and some whites, strolled
through the camp, watched the forma ton
of the regiment for the formalities of the
evening, and then attended the public ex-
ercises.

the prominent and honorable part borne
by the negro troops IN the fighting in the
Santiago campaign He declared the
negro had certainly earned his citizenship
in this country, for he fought with the
patriots in the revolutionary war and on
both sides In the civil war.
The beautiful silk flag was formally pre-
scented to the coior-b bearer by Lucy c. La

Industrial Institute, one Of Augustus lead

Chaplain Carroll of the Tenth Regiment
who declared the soldiers would honor,
cherish and defend it with their lives, and
never allow its folds TO trail in the dust.
If they should be sent TO Santiago, Porto
Rico or the Philippines, they would give
a good account of themselves, and either
bring back the flag in honor, or it would
float above their dead bodies.
The regiment is fully equipped, well dis
ciplined and drilled, with a seasoned and
experienced army officer at its head, and
they are much in hopes that they viii be

CHANCE FOR THIRD GEORGIA.
Senator Clay Trying to Get the Regi-
ment Mustered In.

ment Mustered In.
Washington, Aug. 1S.-There is a chance
for the Third Georgia Regiment to he
retained in the service until it can secure
enough men to entitle it to be mustered
in The President to-day, at the instance
of Senator McLaurin, sanctioned an order
by the Secretary of War, which allows the
Second South Carolina Regiment to or
ganize with but 80 men to each company.
the minimum allowed by law. It was
shown that the South Carolinians had la
bored under many disadvantages which
appealed to the President and Secretary of
War, so they authorized the organization
of the regiment on the terms stated. The
regiment is not to be mustered out as soon
as organized, but it VIII probably be or
dered TO do garrison duty in Cuba.
If Senator Clay will make a similar ap-
peal in behalf of the Third Georgia he
may be as successful as was Senator Nc
Laurin. Senator Clay telegraphed the
war department to-day on the subject
and the matter is now under considera-
ton.
The war department has not completed
Its arrangements for the mastering out of
the volunteers, and will give no informa-
ton in advance of formal orders. Much
pressure is being brought to bear In favor
of the retention in service of different
commands and in order to prevent any in
reference with the department plans,
neither the secretary nor Adjt. Gen. Cor
bin nor Maj Johnson, in whose special
charge the matter is, viii give any in
formation whatever.
1t is practically certain the regiments re-
cruited and recruiting under the second
call for volunteers win be those first mus
tered out. That is the present plan of the
department These are, as a rule, the peo-
pie who are especially anxious to remain
in service, in The hope that they will have
something to show for their patriotism. To
be mustered out before they are really
mustered in, is a prospect they do not at
all enioy
