an idea Of the distribution Of troops among
the transports
The aiIxjllary cruiser St Paul. with the Ohio
troops jaabsavd which made effort to get
awayiglass night, and was reported from Old
Point as having sailed did not get away for
Porto Rico until daybreak this morning. She
will easily overhaul the other ships by to-mor-
row. General Grant reviewed the troops at
camp this evening at $50 o'clock. the cavalry,
infantry and artillery taking part. The dress
parade lasted only hour and wac preceded
by skirmish drill by the two troops Of Penn
sylvania Cavalry.
RESTRICTIONS ON THE MEN
Notwithstanding the fact that there are
nearly as many troops here to-day as earlier
in the week. the day has been unusually quiet.
due to the fact that General Grant Is not al
lowing the men too much liberty Only a small
number Of men are permitted to leave camp,
for three hours at time. and provost guards
have been securing the saloon districts all
day, bringing in soldiers who either over
stayed their time. or left camp without per-
mission. Genera, Grant has also Issued orders
to permit no pie vendors or other food dealers
inside the camp lines This precaution is taken
TO prevent the men from getting sick sweet
meats after living for weeks on Army fare
The Army officers Of the first expedition were
much opposed to the practice of citizens who
took in soldiers from the street and gave them
hearty meals at their tables. They say this
manner Of living is injurious to the soldiers
and the officers of General Grants brigade seem
overcautious in preventing the from living
too highly
General Grant is now stopping at the Hotel
Warwick. Mrs. Grant and their son. L. s..
Grant are also there This afternoon the Gen
.eral and his family drove to the camp to witness
the dress parade. There are now In Newport
News twenty-eight men Of the 9TH Illinois In
fantry. which regiment was ordered TO join Gen
esal Grant here. and after preparing to start,
was ordered to give place to the Tooth Indiana
The men have their guns with them and say
they are going to Porto Rico with one OF the
Kentucky battaons which is incomplete
Every one in camp looks upon the men as de-
serters from their regiment and all are wondering
why II is they are not placed under arrest. The
men are not deserters however. as they board
cd the train before the revoking orders were
Issued, and were on their way here with the first
train, as an advance guard when the 9TH iii
nois was turned back. Their future is still
matter Of doubt. Major Joseph Pierce jr. Chief
Engineer United States Volunteers will arrive
here tomorrow and report to General Grant for
duty on STAFF. The refrgerating ship Glacier -
expected to sail Tomorrow morning for Porto
Rico.

the other Kentucky battalions was intense all

THE IMPURE WATER SUPPLY.
There has been no lack of complaints and
protests from regimental surgeons and COM
handing officers of regiments and companies
on account of the inadequacy and impurity Of
the water supply Nearly d month ago the sur
geon OF Of the. regments-one which has
recently contributed anumber of fever cases to
the hospital-strolgy suspectng that the water
of the we'll from which the regiment drew It's
supply was infected with typhoid germs. car
ried n sample Of the water to a chemist. and
caused an analysis to be made, the result Of
which. as reported. was that the water con-
tained organic matter. and was unfit for
drinking. The facts. It is understood were
only communicated to headquarters, from
which emanated another investigation. and the
surgeon was notified thai a more thorough
analysis had shown the water to be all right.
The mistake has already cost more than one
soldiers life.
The removal Of the regiments Of the First
Division to new camp ground. three
thousand yards distant from the present one
proceeds slowly. Some Of the wells at the new
camp ground have not yet begun TO yield q
supply Of water Meanwhile new dispositions
OF the regiments which are to remain In fever
infected Camp Alger are under consideration
1t gravely proposed to assign OF them
to the place vacated several weeks ago by the
9th Massachusetts. II may be remembered that
in addition to It's visible regulation equipment
this regiment carried from Camp Alger liberal
supply of invisible typhoid germs. which had
developed more than thirty cases OF fever be-
fore IL arrived In Porto Rico. 1t was fortu-
nately decided to allow the camp ground
formerly occupied by the 9Th Massachusetts to
remain vacant for the present at least.
