Chattanooga, Tenn, May 29.-Today was
one of the hottest days at Camp Thomas

Chickamauga, as at the time when the
Twelfth and Fourteenth New York regi-
ments arrived the mercury was almost
at the 80 point. It was day of rest for
the troops. The men thoroughly enjoyed

Gen. Grants promotion has been re-
ceived with satisfaction throughout the
Fourteenth New York volunteers, but
there are a few men among the New York
regiments who do not admire the new
general, and when reference to his APP
pointment is made. a sneer may be de-
tected on the faces of these. who are not
outspoken in their disapproval. However,
the promotion is approved by a majority
of the officers and soldiers at the camp.
Col John Jacob Astor will tomorrow
take the field. Heretofore Gen. Breckin-
ridge and Col. Astor have returned to
the city each eeyning and slept in soft
beds in the best hotel in Chattanooga.
But tomorrow night oCl. Astor will sleep
on cot on the battle field.

had no idea that he would be here more
than four or five days, but he is not half
through the work of inspecting the camp
yet. In order to save time he has decid-
ed TO locate his headquarters on the field
and tomorrow his tent will be pitched by
the side of Mai. Gen. Wilson's headquar-
ters.
1T is estimated that there were 10000
visitors at Camp Thomas today. Excur-
sion trains from nearby towns brought

evidence in the possession Of the secret service

and the Qualifications surrounding il, but Of every
city on the Atlantic coast # the United States.
These discoveries have been made by the sec

evidence also discovered they complete a chain
that the secret service people believe viii IN
questionailly convict Jiminez OF being a spy and
q most dangerous one. The story Of his work
and Of the evidence against him is most inter
esting. The whole line VIII be produced at his
trial. which is to take place in a few days.
Jiminez has been traced from the day he land
ed in this country from Cuba several weeks ago.
The American agents in Havana know the

known in Havana a civil engineer lie has
been at work actively since he came to this coun-
try making maps and obtaining Others from other
spies. In addition to th:s he has set in motion
inquiries as to the movements Of the Army and
Navy
One Of the interesting pieces Of evidence against
the man which not only establishes his identity
with the Jiminez Of Havana and shows some o
his work, but also shows very clearly that he in.
tended to go back 70 Havana, is his card, now in
possession OF the officers. This card reads:
"R. L. Jiminez. Trocadero. No -, Havana.
Cuba Consulting engineer
This card was sent 10 a gentleman in New Or

movements Of the troops at that point and send
all possible information to his address in Ha-
Vana.
None Of the maps and charts and no other In
eliminating evidence against Jiminez was found

she was captured. It is supposed that he had
thrown everything v rboard when he found that
his capture would De certain. This fact. how
