 A Sketch of the Sixty Ninth Birmingham is still talking of the Sixty ninth New York, which regiment made such forcible impression on this city during their visit Sunday afternoon and
 night and early Monday morning
 | Many of the men chatted very pleasantly l and very candidly about themselves while in this city. "Yes. our regiment is amply able to take care of itself," said one of the men. "Al- | most every man of them is from New | York city, and many of them are right of | the Bowery. The Sixty-ninth is on to all l the ways of the world, and what some of 1 our men don't know about cards is not worth knowing. :, "I don't know that 1t is a thing to boast | of, but we've done one good thing for your southern towns. We've cleaned out | all the gamblers in every place we've | struck yet, and are going to try Huntsville next. I thought I knew something about cards until enlisted, but I am really talk | ing my first lessons in the game from the men in this regiment. Down in Fernan- dina man with shell game strolled in- to camp one evening prepared to clean | out a lot of us innocents. When the Sixty-ninth got through with him he didn't know what had struck him. He was dead broke and so disgusted that he threw his shells away and quit.
 "The Third Pennsylvania, which passed through Birmingham only day or two ago,
 used to brag of their toughness while .n Fernandina They were encamped near us, | and one evening when we were coming in
 from Q long eleven-mile march, they started to yelling 'bowery buns at us We stacked our arms and the whole regiment sailed into those men from Philadelphia, who

SKETCH OF TAMMANY TIGERS
Otherwise Known as "Dufy's Rough Walkers" Alias the 6eth New York On to All the Ways of the
 world-Can Play Cards.

All the soldiers of the Sixty-ninth New York volunteers who were injured in the wreck on the Louisville and Nashville road Sunday afternoon near New Castle are resting quietly at the Wilson-Brown infirmary.
 Two more of the men were discharged from the infirmary yesterday and will re- join their regiment at Huntsville at once. They were Private Timothy Crowley and Corporal w. F. Gordon. All of the men who were seriously injured, ir .uding Fireman Browner who had his skull frac- tured, are resting very well and all will re- cover unless some inflammation sets in.
 The five wrecked cars which were so badly derailed in the accident, were brought into Birmingham yesterday after noon and are now at the shops. They were remounted on their trucks, and after that were moved with comparatively little diffi- culty. Although the bodies of the ears are not so badly smashed. 1t will take some time to get them in running shape again.

before we could get to them nearly every one had disappeared into their tents and we were ashamed to whip those who were left.
 "while we were at Chickanauga General Lincoln said 1t was Q splendid regiment, but he was afraid when 1t got into bat tie the men would drop their guns and use their fists"
 The Eixty-ninth is known in New fork as an ideal Tammany regiment Colonel Duffy himself is, by profession. g contractor under that regime, and many of his officers and men are said to be sub-contractors and la- borers under him.
 The regiment has been moved about as much as any other regiment in the country From New York city 1t went to camp Black. then to Chickamauga, next to Tam- pa. from there across to Fernandina, ana lastly to Huntsville, from whence they VIII probably be taken back to New York. F1f- teen of the men have died since the regi- ment left New York, which they consider remarkably low death rate. All or the men are crazy to be mustered out, now that the war is over, but as usual the officers object seriously. Even Tammany is not as allur- ing to them as is a soft snap in Uncle Sams army, the men say. The men call themselves "Duffys Rough Walkers" and also "Duffy's Tough Tigers"

DUNN LORING CAMP
Reported to be in Excellent Condition by
 Representative Crosvenor.

Washington, August 30.-Representative Grosvenor of Ohio called at the war do partment today in company with ex-Rep-e- sentative Thompson to report to Secretary Alger the results of their visit of inspection of the camp at Dunn Loring, and partlc- ularly the state of affairs in the Seventh Ohio volunteer regiment.
 General Grosvenor was emphatic in his approval of what he saw He said
 "I never saw body of soldiers better fed better clothed and better sheltered than is the Seventh Ohio regiment at pres ent. So much for the general condition. Now, as to particulars: There are 1,S00 men in this regiment. Except from suicide, there have been but two deaths among then, since the organization, four and half months ago."
 Continuing, General Grosvenor said that the dissatisfaction among the soldiers was all traceable to the fact that they had not been able to get to the front. On the whole, he (Grosveno) was satisfied the men were very much better off than were the soldiers in the civil war.

 From the volume issued by the military bureau of information the following regard ing the climate of Porto Rico is taken:
 "Iu August a suffocating heat reings thFoughout the day, and at night it is use less to seek for coolness. 2 faint zephyr being succeeded by a calm of several hours The atmosphere is heavy and opbfessive and the body, weakened by precipitation becomes languid. the appetite fails and the mosquitoes bdzzing about the ears by day and night perplex and annoy by their stingf while the levers of the tropics attack one with irresistible violence.
 Some time ago orders were issued di- recting that all troops not actually needed in the island shall be sent home and some of the troops in Porto Rico have been or dered home to be mustered out"

 vember or December
NEVER BEFORE ASKED OFFICE

Hon. John W. Tomlinson is an applicant for the appointment as railroad commits sioner of Alabama. This announcement will cause some surprise to MT. Tomlinson's 8 many friends throughout the state, aud some uneasiness by other applicants: MT. Tomlinson has been leading figure in both state and national politics, but has never before sought office. As party worker he has been untiring. His petition to the governor will be a strong one.

JOHNsToN's DEPARTURE.
Was Ordered to Remove His Detach-
 ment to the United States.

Washington, August 30.-The facts as known at the war department in reference to the departure of Lieutenant Johnston and his detachment from the camp of Gen. eral Gomez, do not correspond with the re- ports telegraphed from Havana and pub lished this morning. When the Wanderer sailed from the Florida coast on her last trip with supplies for Gomez and the Cu- bans she carried orders to Lieutenant John ston to remove his detachment and return to the United States.
 The orders were not made public at the time because the war was not over and it was not deemed prudent to allow the Span- iards to know that detachment of United States soldiers were about to take ship for the United States. It is stated that Lieu tenant Johnston withdrew from Gomez camp on direct orders from the war depart ment,

Substance of Declaration

Madrid, August 3O.-General wayler's statement was made to a committee of the Weyler club, which called on him this morning at Palma, Majorica, where he is staying. This evening he expects to speak before club convention. It is reported that the General is returning to politics in response to many appeals from Spain and rom abroad, and 1t is added that he will attend the sessions of the cortes and ex- pound his views as to the causes of the war disasters.
 The substance of General Weyler's s declaration to the delegation of the Weyler club Is follows:
 The general intends to advocate a sweep ing policy of rehabilitation of the govern ment. He will refuse to aid in any tenn porary measures and will propose a mili- tary dictatorship for the reorganization of the army and navy. Their honor, he re- marked, has been lost, as well as the An titles, owing solely to military deficiencies.
 General Weyler expresses the belief that the present cabinet will be succeeded by a military dictatorship or by Sylvela min istry. He added that he did not desire a change in the form of government, but he pointed out that the Carlists have an ex- cellent organization.
 ContlnulnB, the former capta1H-Senerdl of Cuba urges Spain to abandon her atti- tude of international neutrality in order to be prepared to oppose Great Britain, when the latter, desiring to enlarge her sphere of action at Gibraltar demands the Sierra Carbonera, Melilla or other adjacent Spanish possessions. The general deemed it better to lose the Philippine islands, the importance of which he did not appreciate, than territory around Gibraltar.
 In conclusion General Weyler deplored the loss of territory around the Antilles for the Spaniards engaged in commercial pursuits in Porto Rico and Cuba.

AMBASSADOR HAY.
The Best Accredited to London in
 Many Years.

London, August 3o.-The National Review referring to the recall of the United States ambassador, Colonel John Hay to become secretary of state. says 1t considers Colonel Hay to be the best ambassador accredited here in recent years, adding:
 'He has spoken well, but not too often, he has abstained from being more British than the British; he has refrained from fattery. nor has he indulged in post prandial gush, but he has missed no fair opportunity of promoting friendly Anglo American relations and has been emphati- cally the right man at the psychological moment"
 The National Review suggests Senator Wolcott as Colonel Hays successor.
