There is one soldier. Corporal Gilbert of
Wilmington, VT, who will long remember
certain day during the war as the proud
est of his life. 1t was the day he spent in
North Adams, Mass, when III his fun uni
form and a tanned face, he told wild
stories of the battle of Santiago All the
local papers wrote him up" with consi-
derab BILE gusto and dwelt upon his praises
OF the Second Massachusetts. near which
his regiment of regulars was supposed to
have been stationed Gilbert was hero.
But short time later the sad story came
from Wilmington that Gilberts regiment
had not been near Cuba at all, and that
at the time Of the battle its members were
idly reposng under a New England sun.

by Cuban officers: Yesterday a Cuban
insurgent killed a horse, presumably for

him placed in an old barn, his feet put in
stocks and the carcass of the dead ami

the bones of this dead horse or starve dur

Jacksonville. Fla, Aug. 6.-Orders have been received for the First North Carolina regiment in camp here and the First Ala bama, Second Texas regiment now at Mi ami to communicate with General Wade at Washington and to hold themselves in read mess for early departure for Porto Rico. These orders were sent from Washington before the prospects for peace were so fa- vorable as they are now, and it is surmised that there may be change and that the regiments will re mailn in the state. regiments will remain in the state.
 staff of the First division, Seventh army corps, came up from Tampa and took up headquarters here.
 Major Harrison, as provost marshal. has had five companies on duty today doing provost guard duty. The fact that the troops are being paid off and the natural incNnation at such times for more or less boistreousness to display itself has made a precaution at this time expedient

Irregularities Occurred

Washington, Aug 6-Secretary Alger said today that information reaching him showed there were extenuatlng circum-
 stances in the case of those troops of the Seventy-frst New York regiment accused of not advancing promptly to the attack on Santiago. Men returning from San tiago told the secretary the irregularity oc- cured amid the noise and confusion of the opening of the engagement when the ene- my was directing heavy fire against this point of our lines and number of our troops carried black powder guns instead of the more serviceable Krag-Jorgensen
 While the secretary does not seek to jus tify the regiment yet he feels that they are entitled to have their course viewed in the light of all the adverse circumstances which operated against them at the time of the battle. Speaking of the Porto Rican campaign the secretary said that the en- tire force there would be supplied with krag -Jorgensen guns or else smokeless powder to use in such few Springfelds as might be carried in connection with the Krag-Jorgensens. The purpose, however, is to arm the active troops as rapidly as possible with the high class modern arms.

TRANSPORT FLOATED.
Extent of Damages to the Massachusetts
 Not Known.

Washington, Aug. GA dispatch was re- ceived today from General Gilmore at Ponce saying the transport Massachusetts had been foated and that the extent of her injuries from going aground were not known, although at most they were not serious. Another dispatch from Ponce stated that the transport Panama had ar rived with its extensive equipment for dock building, construction. etc. This construc- tion outfit was originally sent to Santiago, but getting there after the surrender it was sent forward to Porto Rico.
 The war department lojls for the a. rival of the first ship 10 carry Srani h prisoners from Santiago at that point to- morrow. This will be the Alicante, which left Martinique two days ago. The St. Augustine is expected to reach Santiago on the 4th. She IS a hospital ship and will relieve the distress existing in the Spanish hospitals. Within the next week the department hopes to see the mbarka- t1on of Spanish prisoners well under way.

Expected to Return

San Francisco, Aug. 6.-The ships of the first transport fleet to Manila are expected to return in about ten days and with the Scandia and Arizona, now in preparation will form the sixth expedition for Manila This expedition will be under command of Brigadier- General Keen.
 The Scandia and Arizona will take the Seventh California regiment, two battal- ions of the Eighteenth and Twenty-third regulars and 300 recruits for the regiments which have already departed.
 Before September 15 all the troops now in camp here will probably have been dis patched to Manila, for with the return Of the first transport fleet and its second de- parture, the bulk of the men in camp can be taken care of.
 The second fleet will probably return De- fore the end of August, and these ships, consisting of the China Colon, Zealandia and Senator will more than suffice to take the troops left in camp after the Australia, Picking and Sydney have sailed.

THE LION AND
 THE BEAR May Soon Be Mixed Up in a Free For All
 Fight.

London, Aug. 6.-That extreme diplomatic London is generally admitted today, though the officials deprecate the alarmist reports which were current yesterday.
 It is hoped that the firmer stand adopted by the Marquis of Salisbury during the last few days, which seems to have already created some misgiving at St. Petersburg, Russian aggressiveness.
 It is felt both here and on the continent that the outcome of the dispute in regard to the new Chwang railroad extension is the crucial point of the success or failure of Great Britain's policy of the "open door,"
 As evidence of the fact that Great Britain appreciates the gravity of the situation, the Associated Press learns that the admir- alty is preparing for all emergencies. and that 1t will soon be ready to mobilize.
 that it will soon be ready to mobilize the entire fleet at the shortest notice. Every officer and man on furlough or on half pay has been assigned to a ship and instructed to be in readiness to join at the earliest possible moment. Therefore, prac- tically every ship in the British navy, whether in or out of commission at the present moment has it's full war comple- ment of officers and men and ready to take her out to sea when the time arrives.
 According to Paris advices, Admiral Bedolliere, commanding the French-China squadron, has cabled a demand for rein- forcements and for a large credit to be applied to erecting Qualifications. The reason given for these demands is that the natives of the Kwang Chou Wang region are showing signs of hostility. But there Is some suspicion here that the ac- tion of the French admiral may be con- nected with desire to back up Russian designs.

RECOMME NDATIt N
Of General Butler Will Decide Move

removal of the First division from Camp Alger depends upon the recommendati.n of General Butler, who is inspecting the ground at Manassas The camp at Dunn Loring has proved so satisfactory that the troops may remain there for some time longer. The regimental surgeons report the typhoid epidemic well under control
 Todays record of typhoid in the first division includes sixteen cases The pay master today paid vH the Third Virginia.
 Seventeen patients were received at Fort Meyer during the day from the regiments ordered to Manassas. They are mostly men who had been i'll, but were considered suf- ficiently recovered to march, but became seriously Ill on the way.

Without Any Gold

San Francisco, Aug. 6.-The steamer Len- wa sarrived today twelve days from St. Michaels. She brought seven passengers, who returned without any gold. Her pas sengers rc port the conditions existing at St. Michaels as being very precarious. They say that thousands of people are stranded and that relief must be sent by the gov ernnent Commercial companies control the only available landing places at St.
 Michae.s and vessels Are unable to land their passengers iiie.- sargoes. The Yukon is getting too low for navigation and the distress will be very great unless the government takes energetic relief action.
