The times., 1898-07-05

the orders are here and the boys are ju-
bilant.
The Glorious Fourth was celebrated
royalty at Camp Alger yesterday. The
morning was round OF explosions and
noise and the boys had begun to feel
weary when something happened to turn
the afternoon into a pandemonium.
Several of the colone!s of the commands
received dispatches about 2:30 to the ef-
feet THAI Sampson had won great vic
tory and that Santiago had surrendered.
This was given out to the boys and then
pandemonium reigned. The men of each
regiment headed by their bands marched
around camp bowling, singing, yelling
and cheering. 1t was a great celebration
while il lasted The troops simply went
crazy with joy and the 27,OOo in the Sec
ond Army Corps showed their apprecia-
ton of the victory.
''Hooray for Sampson"
He's all right"
Who's all right?"
Sampson"
Dewey fight with Shafter?"
Well. We guess"
ing the alJeraC5n. The bands played ii,
the boys sang it and the air was impreg
mated with il
Then blank cartridges were issued and
for hours the camp was a round Of vol
leys. Even the officers wives fired salutes
In honor Of the victory and the day.
Gen. Garretson. who has command of
the Second Brigade, stated yesterday af-
ternoon that before Tuesday night 1000
troops would be on the way to Santiago
on board the ST. Paul and Duchess.
There was a sad side TO the general re-
joicing al camp. Two brave fellows pass
ed away 10 rest before they could hear Of
SIMPSONS victory. They only heard the
dreamy, long-drawn signing of taps and
no provost guard challenged their journey
into the new land, far fro>l war and
alarms and Camp Alger. T1ey had both
] hoped 10 die IN the front ranks of a
charge against the Spaniards, and one of
chem regretted his weakness at even the
1 last moment
