Tho usual large crowd of spectators
from this city and other sections OF the
state visited Camp Leo again yesterday
afternoon during the hours when the pub
lie is admitted, All the headquarters Of
ficers were on hand and expressed them
selves as well pleased with the improve
ments made every day. The trash that
has made the grounds so unsightly, as
being removed as rapidly as possible by
the details who are charged with the
policing Of the camp.
Company NJ. OF the same regiment.
Captain Bossieux commanding, was mus
tered in the service last evening and the
same will be done with Company !, Cap
tain Shackelford commanding; Company
B, Of the Second, Captain Rus
sell commanding this morning.
By that time twelve companies
OF the Second Regiment viii have been
sworn in and the formation Of the organ
ization will be made complete by the
mastering in of Colonel j. G. Baker as
commander.
This fact will at once be telegTaphed
10 washington and the Second Regiment
will then be ready for orders. When IT
will leave Richmond IS Of course at this
time hereby a matter Of conjecture, but
Il Is generally believed that inasmuch as
the Fourth Regiment will he complete
by Saturday evening that the two reg1-
ments will be ordered away together and
that the beginning OF next week will see
them on their way 20 Tampa.
As soon the the invasion OF cuba is un-
dertaken. the big w1rships will quiet any
guns that may be found in position where
the troops are about 10 land. Inc ar
tillery will then be thrown on land hrst
to remove what obstacles may be found
In the Interior They VIII be closely
followed by tho regulars and the volun-
teer regiments bringing up the rear.
BY SQUADS AND COMPANIES
The regular routine business was about
the only thing that could be noticed In
Camp Leo yesterday morning. Between
the hours Of 10 and u o'clock there was
not a complete company in the different
company streets. They were all out IN
various portions OF tho grounds drilling,
either I'm companies or by squads and
some of them went through what Is
known as setting up exercises.
The same exercises were repeated IL
posslble on a larger scale. There can be
no regimental or battalion drilling until
the regiment has been formed and the
various companies assigned TO their re-
snective battalions. This will likely be
done this afternoon and II Is possible
that the last day or two OF the week VIII
see the regiment out as whole III Is
hardly probable, however, that there VIII
be any regimental dress parades gwen
here in Richmond inasmuch as the sew
eral companies contain very large num-
bers of new recruits, most OF Whoh nave
not yet been uniformed.
Colonel j. c. Baker and Lieutenant
Colonel O. B. Roller were absent from
beadquarters row yesterday morn
ing attending to military affairs
in the city. but Major James G.
Watson was on hand looking after every
thing in the camp and in the auditorium.
Colonel Coulling, OF the Governor 5
staff. is still in charge of the commits
sarv Iepartment but his labors have
been greatly lessened since there are only
a very few arrivale in camp. one com
pany only arrived yesterday ana the
| Hampton company will not reach mere
| til tomorrow, while the Fairfax COM
pany is not due here until Sunday morn
ing.
NO MUsTERING IN.
No company was mustered into ser
vice yesterday morning, while there are
still five companies in the Auditorium
waiting to be mustered in, yet neither o
| them has the required number Of men.
