A telegram from Washington states
that the recommendations of Gov.
Taylor regarding the Tennessee regi-
ments will not be adopted by the war
department. His recommendation was
that the Fourth should be retained in
tact, and that one battalion Of the First
Second and Third should be formed in
to new regiment, and the remainder
of those regiments be mustered out.
The war department officials said this
morning that they were under promise
to send the First Tennessee to the
Philippines if any more troops went
there and that moreover the govern
ment had been put to heavy expense
in sending the First Tennessee to the
Pacific coast. They would therefore
not muster out any part of the First
regiment. What remained then was
the Second and Third and these two
regiments are now scheduled to be dis
banded, Gov. Taylor having expressed
a special desire to have the Fourth re-
tanned,

but we believe Dewey's flag Lieuten'

added to the list. Seven of the Times

Gen. Boynton, who was sent by the
War Department to Camp Thomas to
report upon conditions there, has dis.
covered an earthly paradise on the
Chickamauga slopes. He denies all
charges of negligence on the part Of the
surgeons and officers; says the hospitals
are clean and not overcrowded, sup
plies abundant and of good qua lily
and the sanitation excellent. In fact
the inspector has been unable to see
any Of the things discovered by the
soldiers, who have suffered in the
Chickamauga hospitals, and by impair
tial observers who have examined the
place and gathered the testimony of the
men in the ranks. One of the highest
officials at the camp entirely disagrees
with Gen. Boynton's conclusions and
intimates that the inspection was not
thorough.

The Commercial-Appeal has refrain
ed from making any severe criticism on
General Shafter, because it was patent
that he had a hard job to fill; but it now
appears that he declined to allow pro-
visions and medicines to be landed
when soldiers were dying for need OF
food and medicines. 1t would there
fore be shame, if this old hulk of fat
should be accorded the honors of tri.
umph when he returns to this coun.
try. But for Joe Wheeler's pluck, and
Schley's complete victory over Ceryera,
Shafter would still be wallowing about
in the mud of Santiago, or the Span.
iards would have pitched him into the
sea. He belongs to the gang of incom-
petents with which Alger has surround
ed himself, and he ought to be accorded
court-martial instead of an ovation.
