On arriving here the officers and their
men visited the Statehouse, where the
printed blanks and such instructions as were
on hand were delivered to them. Lieut..
Vail, of Marion, succeeded in catching a
train home before supper. Captain Bender
found that he could not get out before 1902
midnight on the Panhandle, and instructed
his men to pass the time as best they
might determining himself to go to a good
hotel for a good dinner, a bath, clean
clothes and other things that he has been
of Warsaw, found that he and his men
could not get away until some time to-day,
and they decided to enjoy themselves the
best they could, although all were anxious
to get home. Lieutenant Hughes will make
Warsaw the headquarters for receiving re-
cruits for the first battalion; Lieutenant
Vail, Marion, for the second and Captain
Bender. Logansport. for the third. 1t is not
definitely known whether the officers can
send their men to various towns near their
headquarters for recruits, or whether they
will have to go themselves with their entire
parties. The officers who were here yester-
day expected to find some instructions
awaiting them on their arrival home.
Like others who have come from Camp
Thomas, they report the conditions prevail
ing there as most excellent, saying that the
men are in excellent health, in the main,
/ that they are being provided with more and
better rations and are more contented: ex-
cept that they are. all anxious to be off to
Tampa. None of those who arrived yester-
day was able to say when the detail from
home from Tampa All of them believe
they will have no trouble in recruiting their
regiments, as they have received intima-
dred men each for their battalions.
Captain Tarlton, of the first or home
battalion wants 102 men, 26 for H Com
pany % for A Company, 26 for ID Company,
and Is for e Company: Captain Tarlton
will open recruiting headquarters at Room
Ii, Statehouse, tomorrow morning at .
o'clock, although whether or not any men
are recruited through the day will depend
Captain Tarlton wants two cornet players,
one of whom plays an II flat cornet, If pos
sible,. to add to the strength OF the already
excellent band of the regiment, which is
short comets.
Major Condo stopped over at Cincinnati.
1t was supposed that he would arrive home
about midnight. In his absence it was not
possible to ascertain where his recruiting
headquarters would be esta blished.
In f1n @ he nf tT-JIF
tons, Lieutenant Johnson, of the Twenty
seventh Indiana Battery, did not enlist men
yesterday, although many have applied and
have received partial promises. There is
some confusion as to how medical eXamina-
tons are to be made, and until this is set
tied no men will be enlisted The impression
prevails that the surgeon general is to be
notified after the men have enlisted. but
that would require a great deal of time;
and il is hoped the order will be modified
so as to make the work if the men simpler

hand to Captain Louden and Lieutenants
Curtis and Mccoy. of the One-hundred-and-
fifty-ninth, who arrived from Camp Alger
Thursday night, and who are at Green
castle. Vincennes and Bloomington, ready
to enlist recruits as well as to Captain
Ranke, of the Fort Wayne Battery.
Lieut. George w. Powell adjutant Of the
One-hundred-and-ff ty-eighth regiment. and
recruiting officer for the Second Battalion,
said last night that he did not expect to
make his recruiting headquarters here, al
though his plans are rather indefinite in the
absence of specific instructions from the
War Department Lieutenant Powell wants
twenty-six men each for Company M, of
Charlottesville: Company G., of Covington;
Company l. of Sheridan and Company B, of
Rochester. He thought likely that the en-
listed men accompanying him. one from
each of the towns, might possibly be sent
ahead as a sort of forerunner to have re-
cruts gathered ready for examination and
enlistment into the service on his arrival.
He doubted whether anything would be done
toward enlisting recruits in the towns named
for two or three days 1T is the idea TO
cruit men from the various towns to fill up
the companies that originally came from
them.
Mai II. r. Condo, recruiting officer of the
Third Battalion is to recruit men for Com

Frankfort Company X, of Martinsville. and
Company L. of KokoHao. The major stopped
