Albeit The scenes attending its de-
parture were less interesting than those
at the departure of the other regiments
that have passed through Jersey City,
This was owing to the fact that the soil
did not have SO many friends and relatives
to follow them to the starting point and
wish them godspeed The early hour of
their departure and the extremely dis
agreeable weather also had something to
do with it. There was a crowd at the
depot. but it was nothing to compare with
the crowds that gathered to witness the
departure of the New York regiments. Tt
was composed largely of early morning
commuters, who stopped on their way to
New York to watch the soldiers prepare
for their trip South and to admire their
hardy appearance There were few affect
ing farewell scenes. The soldiers arrived
at the depot at six O'Clock. A pint of hot
coffee was waiting Tor each man and was
handed TO him as soon as he had de-
posted his trappings in the waiting trains.
breakfast served the men set to work TO
transport the stores from the steamer to

OUR VOLUNTEER ARMY.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, May 27. 1885,
The big volunteer army at Chickamauga
now numbers nearly $4,000 mem and it
continues to grow. Today the Sixty-ninth
New York, the First Arkansas, the Fifth
Missouri and three troops of the Third
Volunteer Cavalry went into camp. To-
gether these commands number about $500
men.
The Sixty-ninth, New York, 1,o26 men,
under Colonel Edward Duffy, was delayed
by slight~wreck and did not arrive until
a late hour lase night. Breakfast was
served the men in the city and immedi-
ately thereafter they were taken to the
park This regiment attracts great at
tention on account of the very evident
fact that it is composed entirely of Irish
men.
The First Arkansas, 1,O25 men, under
Colonel Elias Chandler. arrived at one
A. nj. The men remained in their cars
over night, leaving for the park after
breakfast this morning.
Troops A, c and D. 227 men of Colonel
Grigby's cowboy regiment, arrived in the
city at $50 o'clock last night, and re-
manned in their cars until this morning,
when they got away to the park and be-
gan work on their camp.
Nearly all the men of the Fourth Ohio
Regiment are in an unenviable plight.
Yesterday they marched to the hospital
quarters in companies and were vacci-
mated. Today their arms are very sore
and it is almost impossible for them to
drill. Drills probably win be suspended
for few days.
Teh Pennsylvania soldiers, about 600 in
all, are happy today over the announce
ment that they will at once receive pay
for the fifteen days they spent in camp
before being mustered into the service of
the United States.
s35 900, will be paid by the State of Penn
sylvania.
The pipe lines to nearly all the COM
mands in the park were completed today,
and hereafter there can be no complaint
about water.
Numerous complaints are being made
by men of various regiments of the army,
complaints are not well founded. General
Brooke and his assistants are giving the
men every possible accommodation and
those who are complaining are doubtless
men who cannot make up their minds
to endure the hardships attendant upon
army life.
Brigadier General A. S. Burt and staff
left Chickamauga today for Tampa, Fla,
where they have been assigned to duty.
The departure of Gen. Burt leaves the
First Brigade, First Division, First Corps
of the Army, without a Commander.
Col. C. B. Hunt, of the First Ohio, will
be i'll command until the place is filled.

ST. JUAN FIGHT.

WASHINGTON, May 27. 1s9S.-The fol-
lowing bulletin was posted at the Navy
Department today
The following is a copy of a report
made BY Rear Admiral Sampson con-
cerning the action off San Juan de Puerto
Rico
Upon approaching San Juan it was
seen that none of the Spanish vessels
were in the harbor. I was therefore con-
siderably in doubt whether they had
reached San Juan and again departed for
some unknown destination, or whether
they had not arrived. As their capture
was the object of the expedition, and as
it was essential that they should not pass
to the westward, determined to attack
the batteries defending the port in order
to develop their positions and strength,
and then, without waiting to reduce the
city or subject it to regular lombard
ment-which would require due notice
turn to the westward.
Il commenced the attack as soon as it
was good daylight. This lasted about
three hours, when the signal was made
to discontinue the firing and the squadron
stood to the northeast until out of sight
of Juan. when the course was laid to the
westward, with the view Of communicate
ing with the Department at Port. Plata,
and learn II the Department had obtained
Information as TO the movements of the
Spanish vessels.
the Department that the Spanish vessels
had been sighted off Curacao on the 18th
instant.

Cruiser Near Our
Coast.
rBv Cable to The associated Press.l


KEY WEST, Fla, May n, 1S9S..A Span
ish steamship. thought to be an auxiliary
cruiser. was sighted by the United States
warships Wilmington and Bancroft fifteen
miles off Key West last night, and at
last accounts she was being chased by
the Bancroft.
She was a three-masted steamer and
apparently a merchantmen of large tom
mage. She had one smokestack No doubt
was entertained of her being Spaniard,
because, when the Bancroft put after her,
she steamed away at full speed.
The Wilmington was coming in here for
coal when, at about $50 last evening,
when between twelve and fifteen miles
off Key West, she saw the smoke OF
steamer and turned in the latter's direc-
ton. At about the same time the Ban
croft came along and asked the Whining
ton if she had seen anything of three
masted schooner which the auxiliary gun
boat Eagle The Wilmington then noti-
fed the Bancroft of the three-masted
schooner. and while doing so stranger
hove in sight. The Bancroft went after
her and the vessel headed southeast. with
the Bancroft going full speed after her.
The chase was a most exciting one when
the Wilmington last saw the two vessels.
1t is presumed that the Spanish ship.
observing the Wdlmingtons military top,
mfstook her for battleship and thought
it safe to continue scouting, trusting to
her superior speed for escape. But when
the Bancroft appeared the Spaniard
wasted no time in trying to get away.
Captain Todd. of the Wilmington, has
no doubt the Bancroft will catch the
Spaniard.
A custom house official here, when he
heard the story, said he had seen a
strange ship off Key West last night,
adding that she was gone in the morning.
Captain Todd is confident the vessel
being chased by the Bancroft is Spanish
auxiliary cruiser on scout duty.
The Wilmington came in from the block
ade and reports all quiet there.

SCARLET FEVER EPIDEMIC
Dread Disease Is Spreading in
the Hudson City
Section.

An epidemic of scarlet fever, it is de-
clared by some, has broken out in the
Hudson City section of the Heights. Nu-
merous yellow signs have been posted up
on numerous houses in Webster avenue,
and in number of streets that cross this
thoroughfare. These signs are very nu-
merous in the block on Webster avenue,
between Griffith and Bowers streets
Health Inspector Benjamin denies that
an epidemic exists. He says there is NO
occasion for alarm. 1t is admitted at the
office of the city Health Board that quite
a number of cases have been reported
from that section. According to the in
Spector's books. seventy-two cases of
scarlet fever have been reported from all
sections of the city during the present;
month OF this number thirty-three cases
were reported from the section above all
luded to. The Health officers claim that
these case are always reported by the
physicians. A fine of $50 Is the penalty OF
failure to make such report.
Three victims of the malady were re-
ported from one source yesterday. They
were:-Adolph Goustein, of No. 2T Cen
tral avenue, fourteen years old; Adolph
Giele. of No. ATS Central avenue, seven
teen years old, and two-year-old Francis
Lang, of No. 11S Bowers street. The lat

Decides Against Messfs.
Noonan and Simp4
son.
LAWYER SpEER'S VAIN PROTEST.
He Asks That Action Be De-
ferred Until the Court
Disposes of the
Indictment.
LAWYER SpEER'S VAIN PROTEST

The special committee of the Hudson
County Bar Association, which was ap-
pointed to investigate the charges asains<
former Assistant Prosecutor Joseph n
Noonan and Assemblyman Alex. Eimp-
son, held its final meeting this afternoon
and disposed of the matter. It resolved
to apply to the Supreme Court, at Tren-
ton, on the opening day of the June
Term, for rule to show cause why both
men should not be disbarred from prac-
ticing in the courts of this State.
The meeting was held behind closed
doors and was exceedingly lively. All
the members of the committee, Washing
ton B. Williams. chairman; James B.
Vredenburgh, Charles C. Black, Judge
Charles w. Parker and Rynier ]. Wor-
tendyke, were present. OF the accused
lawyers only Mr.. Noonan was present,
and they were represented by William
H. Speer, Jr.
The defence consisted entirely In the
submission of a record of the evidence
taken on the trial of the two men for
conspiring to defeat the ends of justice.
which was recently tried In the County
Courts and which ended in disagrse-
ment of the jury.
The defence requested that the commit
tee defer its action until the men had
either been tried again or the indictment
against them had been otherwise disposed
of. The committee decided to dispose OF
the matter at once.
Mr.. Noonan asked Judge Parker. who
favored immediate action, if he had read
the evidence which the defence had sub
mitted. Mr.. Parker replied that he had
read the accounts published in the Even
ing Journal each day during the prog
ress of the trial
Mr.. Speer asked what kind of a pro-
ceeding that was for judicial body, as
the Journals" reports were known to
have been prejudiced and unfair. He
then denounced the action of the COM
mittee in deciding the matter as mani
festly unjust when the men had not been
found guilty by the Courts. 1t PRACTICAL
ly amounted to prejudicing their case
He spoke in this strain for some time
but to no purpose. The committee de-
cided to get the matter off their hands
and resolved to apply for the rule.
If the Court grants the motion the mat
ter viii be referred to a Supreme Court
Commissioner, who will take testimony
in the matter and report back to the
Court. The Court viii hear argument
and then decide whether Messrs. Moo
nan and Simpson can pursue their pro-
fession any more in this State.

fact, the entire National Guard of the

finer body of citizen soldiery. He asserted
