There was date at one end of the line
and at the other a sum of money, as in
common account-books; but instead of
explanatory writing only a varying
number of crosses between the two.
On the 18th of June, 1745, for instance,
a sum of C 20 had plainly become due
to some one, and there was nothing but
six crosses to explain the cause. In
a few cases, to be sure, the name of
place would be added, as 'Offe Carac-
cas-" or mere entry Of latitude and

cried the squire. This is the black

clearer. 'Offe Caracas now; you see,

it is to be a traveller. Right. And the

BREAKING CAMP.
All the United States Troops at Chickama u
ga Park Will Be Out in a Few Days
They Will Leave for Cuba.

CHATTANOOGA. Tenn. May t9.-Camp
George II. Thomas at Chickamauga
park is rapidly undergoing demoli-
ton. At day break Wednesday morn
ing the work of breaking camp was
begun by a number of the regiments
and in few hours thereafter places
which have been covered with white
tents for some time were again
vacant and deserted. Officers and
men of all regiments now re-
naming are giving their time and
attention to the preparations for de-
parture and the regular rout tine of
camp life has been entirely suspended.
The first troops out were those of the
Third cavalry. They were loaded on
special trains at Rossville about 9
o'clock and started through to Tampa
over the Southern railway The
Sixth cavalry got out a few hours
later, going to TAMPA over the same
route. The two regiments are under
the command of Gen. S. S. Sum-
ner. The Second cavalry under
Col. Hunt will probably get out for
Mobile late Wednesday afternoon and
the First and Tenth cavalry under Col.
Baldwin will leave about the same
time for New Orleans. Two of the in
fantry regiments will march nine miles
to Ringgold and take cars for Tampa
Thursday morning. The three remain
ing will follow as rapidly as possible.
The indications are now that all com
mands with their equipments will be
gone before Friday noon
The contract for conveying the
troops to Tampa has been divided be-
tween the Southern and Western At
lantic The Southern will carry all
destined for New Orleans and Mobile
The railroads are doing excellent
work and are giving the officials ev-
cry assistance in rushing the troops
out.
MOBILE, Ala, May 12.--In the camps
of the regulars and volunteers all is
quiet. No orders to move have been
received at either camp. although the
officers are looking for the same at any
moment, and are ready to go to the
front promptly. With the regulars
and state troops combined there are
5000 men encamped here.
