\ TERRIBLE STAMPEDE.
Three Thousand Mules and Horses
Thunder Through the Camp.

Three Thousand Mules and Horses
Thunder Through the Camp.
Washington. j.. c.. June ia spe-
cial from Tampa says:
AT 10 o'clock tonight 5000 horses and
mules broke from their %corrals and staEl-
peded through the camps of General Car
pcntcr's brigade. 1t was dark and tho
excitement was so great in the District
of Columbia camp it was impossible TO
learn if any men were hurt. The panic
among the men was terrible. Officers
tried to get their companies into line.
but the army of wild horses made that
impossible. Many men began shooting
ut the excited animals. but this only OK
cited them more. 1t seems impossible to
stop the stampede tonight. The horses
seemed to be attracted by the tents and
they rushed through the brigade of three
regiments and then back again. taking
Il different course each time. They have
already destroyed army tents. kitchen
and camping paraphornalid.
1T is not known what started the ami
mails on their wild rush. Taps had just
sounded in all the camps and the bands
had played their "ood-nights. The men
were hardly asleep when a loud crack
ling like the firing Of Calling guns start
led them. IT was the breaking down Of
the corral fence. n high wooden affair.
In the next moment the Infatuated horses
rushed into the New York camp. which
was nearest the break in the fence. The
ruSh sounded like Il thunderstorm. The
New York camp s%entinels begun to yell
like mad. "Call out the guard but i
was useless. as the animals were then
rushing over everything in their path. In
half an hour the camps had been STAN
pedcd three times. and there seemed to
be no hope of driving the beasts away
from the breach.
Forty men were mounted by o'clock
and they were able to check them 4 lit
tie or at least to steer the horses from
the camp"
