THE ARMY AT CHICKAMAUGA.
The work of Equipping the Men
E Prog ressfng RapidIy


Chattanooga, Tenn. June 17.-While no
definite orders have yet been issued, in
few days orders will be sent to Gen.
Brooke for dispatching a portion of his
army found to be ready and fully equip
ped for the field to such Southern Allan
tic port cities as may be selected for the
embarkation of the next military expedi-
ton. However, as fast as bodies of
troops leave the park others will take
their place, so the number of men will
hardly be diminished for some time to
come.
The men at the park are being rapidly
equipped now, and 1t will hardly be
week before all the regiments have re-
ceived their full complement of uniforms
arms and ammunition.
Recruits are arriving in large numbers
to fill UP the regiments to their full quota,
and the War Department has no cause to
complain of any lack of patriotism and
willingness to fight.
Within ten days or two weeks at fur
thest it is believed the Army will have
been filed to its war strength Every
regiment at the park was on the field
today from three to five hours.
Seven thousand rifles from the Columbia
arsenal arrived at the park today and will
be Immediately distributed among the
regiments. The large shipment which
will be sufficient to equip most of the
regiments OF the command is not yet in
sight, but is expected within few days.
Col. Lee, chief quartermaster has been
a very busy man since the troops began
to arrive. He said today that notwith-
standing the numerous shipments of
wagons and mules that have arrived the
regiments are only partially provided for,
at least one-half the wagons and teams
allowed the regiments having yet to be
supplied.
Twenty-four recruits for the Arkansas
regiments arrived this morning and an
hour later forty men from New York and
Pennsylvania came in. They were sent
to the park without delay.
