THESE MEN FOUGHT
On the Train from Camp Tunnel,
Because Their Views OF the
War Disagreed,

The brakeman on the second section
of the Camp Tunnel excursion train
received several severe bruises yesterday
while acting as peacemaker in a fight
between Edward Holland of this city
and an unknown man.
shortly after the heavily loaded train
left Middetown, Holland and the other
man became engaged in a heated argu,
ment over the present war.
So bitterly opposed were the two in
their views, that the argument soon as.
sumcd the shape OF a fist fight. Much to
the CONSERVATION OF the other passen-
gers the two men became engaged in a
fierce fight in the car aisle.
Thegbrakeman being notified, rushed
between the combatants and endeavored
to part them. His efforts were resented
by both and as Il result OF that resent
ment the official received several blows
in the face and on his body, some OF
which brought forth the blood.
Just below New Castle Hoilano's
friends took him away into another car
and thereby prevented a renewal OF the
conflict.

DISGRACEFUL ROW.
Negroes Fight on Electric Car Be-

News of the City by the River.

New CASTLE. MAY 22.--Another row
took place Saturday night on the mid
night trolley car from Wilmington. Tie
negroes from the country and New Cas-
tie got mixed up and started a fight, one
or two leaving the car as it was stopped
to let off passenger, to have it out.
The car shou d have proceeded on its
way and left them, but they we're separ-
ated by the motorman and conductor.
Ever since the road has been in exist
ence the midnight car on Saturday night
has been disgrace to the company.
1t is not fit for ladies who happen to
be late in leaving Wilmington to ride in.
The passengers are nearly all negroes
and their language is vile. A "Jim
Crow car should be put on by the COM
pany, and as they do not respect the
white people the negroes should be made
to ride in it. Besides this man, fares
would be saved, for it is impossible for
the conductors to collect them all before
some get off.

35l tons capacity.
The Gettysburg has been down to
L,wes on trial trip and lay all Tuesday

THOUSANDS VISIT SOLDIERS
Camp Tunnel Greets Many Sunday

Special Dispatch to THE Sun.

Special Dispatch to THE SUN
CAMP TUNNELL, Middletown, May o.
The report that today was to be the last
Sunday which the Delaware troops were
to pass in camp at Middletown, brought
thousands Of people to Camp TunnelI.
1t was, perhaps, the finest day yet ex-
perienced by the boys during their stay
here, though somewhat warm.
Being provided with sufficient num-
ber OF tents now the soldiers are better
able to entertain the guests of the camp.
Gathered in some OF the tents could be
seen groups of fair ones cheering sweet
hearts and brothers with their presence,
while in others of the V shaped canvas
houses were sad-hearted mothers and
stern fathers, who though proud OF the
boy so dear to them are nevertheless
anxious for his welfare and sorrowing
because he is called to the front.
From Wilmington came two trains
carrying in all lOl6 people, who added
to the hundreds from the surrounding
country made an immense crowd in the
camp grounds.
The first fatality to happen since the
opening of Camp Tunnell occurred to-
day. Eugene Philips, a private in Com
pany | OF LAUREL died in camp after
suffering for week with brain feveraud
pneumonia.
Philips was 10 years OF age and his
death Is very sad one. His widowed
mother who resides in Laurel is in very
bad health. Recently she visited her boy
at Camp Tcnnell and shortly after re-
turning home she became worse.
Young Philips anticipating the early
movement of his regiment to the front
has worried over leaving his mother in
her present condition, until he became
sick with brain fever He also contracted
pneumonia, which was the immediate
cause of his death. His body will be
taken to Laurel tomorrow for interment.
All the companies turned out this
afternoon for dress parade and the show
ing made by the entire regiment was ex-
cellent No company drills we're held
during the day.
The boys are much disappointed at the
prospect Of another week in Camp Tun-
nell and are anxious to move.
Colonel Wickersham and the regi-
mental field staff at headquarters cannot
account for the orders holding the regi-
ment at Middletown. .
1t is rumored today that the outcome
of the delay will mean that the regiment
is to be sent to Chickamauga instead of
Falls Church, Va. All is now expectancy
in the ranks. More suits will arrive and
be delivered tomorrow.

The Invasion of Cuba.
Special Dispatch to The Sun,

WASHINGTON, May 22-Although the
military occupation OF Cuba seems likely
not to be undertaken for a few days at
least, the preparations for landing troops
in the island are still going on rapidly.
One of the principal difficulties is the
lack OF proper equipment for the troops.
Ammunition is also wanting, there be-
ing only about 10000, 900 rounds of car
tridges for the army. This want will be
supplied rapidly, however, and there
will probably be enough ammunition for
all the uses OF the invading force by the
time the campaign begins. This begin
ming is not likely to occur as long as the
Spanish squadron under Admiral Ger
vera remains intact in Cuban waters.
Reports from the recruiting stations in
the various states show that the total
number of men accepted fer the volun-
teer army up to last night was about
100000.
The examination of men has proceeded
slowly for the last three days, and the
officers connected with the Adjutant.
Generals office were disappointed when
it was found that the muster of the whole
volunteer army would not be completed
by the end OF this week.
The War Department is receiving many
protests from State authorities in regard
to the assignment OF the volunteers for
service There is no case on record OF
an objection to going to Cuba or to any
place which the Administration may in
dicate, but many of the regiments which
have been ordered to remain in their
ownStates for coast defence and reserve
have protested against the assignment to
such duty.
They all prefer to be ordered into a
general campaign, or at least to one OF
the mobilization points in the South,
where they might expect to be ordered
at an early time for service in Cuba.

Among the Members of the "Git-

They Have Troubles OF Their Own

He Does Not Stick
to the Last.
HARMONY DOES NOT EXIST

On next Saturday evening the be or
would-be politicians belonging to the
"Git-Together alias the 'Git-Out" alias
the Lincoln Club, will hold their regular
meeting at No. 9OS King street, when it
is supposed that permanent officers will
be elected.
Tke meeting will undoubtedly be the
same as others that have SO far been
held by the "Git-Together" harmon
izers or harmonious (?)
Numerous candidates are in the field
for the empty honors. Among them be-
ing Mayor Henry c. McLear, Assistant
City Solicitor Medford H. Cahoon, Fred
Eden Bach and others too numerous to
mention.
There is considerable opposition to the
mayor for the snub, he gave the "Git
Outs" when he appointed the new board
of health In his appointments he en-
tirely ignored the solicitations of the
"Git-Together' or Fred Eden Bach, and
even turned down DIR. Evan u. Short
lidge. Instead the mayor appointed two
unionists and a similar number OF regu-
lars.
Since then it has been war to the knife
between McLear and certain people who
have been, and will continue to say
what the "Git-TogetEer" Club must do.
A few of the members are again taking
the bit in their teeth and Fred and his
friends are receiving anything but COM
plimentary remarks from this "discord'
element.
However, every dog has his day, as
one of them remarked after the stormy
meeting of last Saturday night, "and we
| will have ours" he concluded. .
Fred Eden will have troubles of his
own before he manages to patch up the
i'll feeling engendered and although he
NAV eventually succeed in the ''sweet
bye and bye" it will be after many days
of anxiety on his part.
1t is quite possible. it is alleged, that
there will be factional split within a
very short time and even Mr.. Cahoon
and others, with the assistance of Mr..
Bach, will be unable to stem the tide.
| In this event disruption is the only
thing that will follow and the result
will be disorganizatlon and the political
! disorganizers, composed of want-to-be
poliical office holders, no matter how
small the salary, will be thrown on the
COlu, cola WO!lu DN lTleHuS WHO tHty
thought would "stick to the last"
The ''liit-Together" alias the Git
Out" club will then become thing of
the past and be nonentt7 as far as this
, coming November election is concerned.
Fred and other members. it is alleged,
will then go in mourning and be in
clined to the belief that the way of the
transgressor 10 hard, especially in the
/ history OF Together club.

MANY FRIENDS VISITED HIM
In New Castle Jail and He
Attended Divine Services.
The Trial of Number "Two" or Thomas
s. Clark Promises to Be More
Sensational Than That of
the Convicted Man.-Tes-
timOny to Be Adduced.

Colonel Ezekiel I. Cooper, lawyer,
travelling gentleman and editor OF the
Milford Herald, who was convicted OF
misapplying the funds of the First Ma
tional Bank of Dover will be brought
from New Castle jail by Sheriff Finn
this morning, and on his arrival here be
taken to the Federal Building where he
will be sentenced in the United States
District Court by Judge Bradford.
Upon thessentence depends the action
of his counsel, Levi G. Bird, Esq, and
United States Senator Gray.
If he is given the full limit of two
years in jan with fine of from $1,000
to $4,000 bis counsel will in all prob
ability make motion for new trial
Although the Limitation OF time allowed
in the case has expired, yet it is believed
that Judge Bradford might entertain
such a motion under revised statutes
under which Cooper was convicted.
Providing the sentence is light, now
ever, counsel for the prisoner will not
make any motion and the colonel will
serve his time.
Colonel Cooper spent very quiet time
at the residence of Sheriff Finn yester.
day, and in the morning he attended
divine services held in the Jail proper by
the Salvation Army.
During the afternoon large number
of his New Castle friends called on hin
and expressed the desire that he woule
receive a light sentence.
The colonel speaks very highly OF tt {
kind and considerate treatment shown
him by Sheriff Finn and his family.
He occupies room by himself ant
was highly incensed when it was statet
that he occupied room with William
n. Boggs with whom he says he is onl
on semi-friendlv terms.
The next member of the gang to b
tried Tor aiding in the robbery OF th'
First National Bank is Thomos $
Clark.
Clark was "Number Two" named by
THE Sun as an accomplce of William n
Boggs, the defaulting teller, and his con
nection with this celebrated bank rob
berry has already been defined in thi'
paper.
Clark will be arraigned before Judge
Bradford on June IA, and some OF the
features of his case will prove highly
sensational.
Though the amount of Clark's stea
named in the Indictment does not equa
that of Colonel +. T. Cooper, nevelthe
less Clark's connection with the robbery
is (if such a thing be possible) more
astounding than that OF the convicted
man.

Daniel is his bondsman to the amount
Of $4,000.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 22.-Ncws by
cable from Hong Kong received yester.
day by Manager Harris OF the local
branch OF tie Hong Kong and shanghai
Bank says that all business was sus-
pended at Manila.
The banks are closed. This leads to
the inference that the Spanish are much
more closely pressed by the insurgents
than the news given ont by the Madrid
Governn. .ent would indicate.
Probably there are enough foreign
warships at Manila to land sufficient
hluejackets to protect foreign prol erty
in case the insurgents shonld sto, n and
capture the city, but Mr.. Harris regards
the situation as very critical. No drafts
on Manila will be made here until better
