ANOTHER ARMY MOVE.
Rumors At Chickamauga That
More Troops Will Go
to Tampa.

CHTCKAMAUGA, CHATTANOOGA MA
TIONAL MILITARY PARK, Tenn. June
10, 1S9S.-Again rumors are flying thick
and fast that large portion of the volun-
teer army here is to be transferred to
Tampa or some other point near the scene
of action. The rumors are neither de-
MED nor confirmed at headquarters, and
it is practically impossible to ascertain
whether or not they are based on fact.
Railroad men state positively that they
have been instructed to hold enough cars
here to move several thousand men, but
this may have been decided upon by the
army officials to meet possible emergency
orders.
The regiments which are thoroughly
equipped and ready to move are the
Eighth, Ninth, Twelfth and Fourteenth
New York, First Pennsylvania, Eighth
Massachusetts, Fourth and Sixteenth Ii
Pennsylvania, First Ohio Cavalry and
Griggsby's Rough Riders Their COM
mands are not recruited up to full
strength, but the recruiting work could
be finished at Tampa.
Lieutenant Colonel Richards, who has
been chief aide on General Brooke's STAFF
for some time, has been assigned per-
who is to command the Sixth Corps when
organized. Colonel Richards succeeds
Lieut.-Col. w. E. Wilder, who takes
command of the Fourteenth New York
There are now about score of patients
in the new Letter hospital and more are
being sent in hourly. The hospital is
complete in every way.
The new pestefflee at Lytt1e rough
but commodious building. is being rush
ed through, and probably will be COM
pleted by tomorrow night. 1t is es-
timated that 10000 letters, besides thou
sands of packages are handled daily at
the Lyttle office. Thirteen men work
from A. M. to IL P. NJ, distributing
mail. The force will be increased next
week.
Rations, supplies and equipments con-
tinue to pour in. Nearly all the volun-
teers are now uniformed, and the work of
equipping them goes steadily on. There
is now no complaint about rations, all the
men seeming satisfied. A Chicago. firm
furnishes the army with 10000 pounds of
fresh beef daily.
Major Russell Harrison, of the Inspec-
tor Generals Department, who spent yes
terday at the Park, left late last night
for Tampa, where he will remain some
time.
Today is another unusually warm one,
during drills. u
sylvania, has been forced to discontinue
drills on account of sores brought on by
vaccination. A half dozen regiments are
now in this condition.

We GAN INVADE SPAIN.
Views Of the English Press on
the War; European
Bugaboo.


LONDON, June TO- 1s9S.-The West
menting upon the American suggestions
posed Anglo-American understanding
says
1.-The Liberal party desires nothing
more than to draw close the bonds with
the United States. If it's leaders draw at
tention to points needing careful hand
ling, it is because judging from the pres
ent conduct of affairs, they have grounds
for fearing that the best policy may be
wrecked by lack of wisdom and perseyer-
ance. If we plead for care and caution
in dealing with the United States, 1t is
because we are anxious to save that
cause from the fickleness of the present
Government"
The "St. James Gazette" this after
noon. publishes long editorial pointing
out the hopelessness of any further
Spanish resistance and suggests the
Americans seek settlement of the Gu
ban question in Spain. 1t says
"There is no need of an invasion; but,
the mere presence OF strong armament,
which the Spanish Navy could not drive
off, on the coast. would produce tre-
mendous effect, and there are numerous
unfortifed anchorages where the Ameri-
cans could re-coal with leisure.
aOf course, there are Powers in Europe
who would witness the operation with
great disgust. But, if the Americans are
going to be frightened by the vague ab-
straction, called Europe, they must be
very tfmid; let them consult the Sultan

LESSON TO TARIFF FOOLS.

WASHINGTON, June 10, 1s9l.-A repoya
from the collector of customs at New Yorh
shows that the imports of diamonds at that
port during the period from January to
April 80, 1898, amounted to s2.0s5, 435 as
compared with S24l, ,175 for the same period
in 1897 This enormous increase of nearly
80 per cent. is said to be almost entirely due
to the reduction of the customs duty which
has operated to prevent smuggling.

DIVISION HOSPITAL.
Visiting Civilians, and Espe- cially Ladies, Break the Rules
 and the Patients Suffer.

Some time ago Surgeon Major w. O. Owen, in charge of the Division Hospi- tai, made a complaint to Major General Otis about the indiscriminate way in which civilians visited the hospital and went among the sick soldiers. He point ed out that serious consequences might result from this, such as the spreading of an epidemic. This was easily possible as the visitors would go in the infectious wards, and were in danger of catching diseases themselves. They were in the habit of slipping in when no one was watching. As result of this letter guards were posted around the hospital
 It was learned yesterday beyond the shadow of a doubt that Major Owen has again had cause to complain of civilian visitors and that he has written let ter to Major General Otis requesting that the severest measures be immediately adopted to prevent the admission to the hospital of any person, citizen, sol or officer, who has not written authority to be admitted.
 This letter is a result of very serious consequences. On Sunday some lady vis- itors managed by some pretext to get by the guards and were admitted. They en- tered one of the tents where some of the sick were confined and fed the men on cheese sandwiches with the result that Private Burkland of the Twenty-third Infantry had to be removed to the French Hospital with convulsions. He is now critically Ill. It was also found that a number of the sick had been supplied with medicines not prescribed by any of the Division Hospital surgeons, and which would have had serious results had the patients taken them before they were found These medicines were given to the soldiers presumably by the lady Vls- itors. There is no doubt that ln the 1u- ture every precaution will be taken to exclude every one not entitled to admis- sion to the hospital.
