Just as 1t was starting for Fernandina. Many
reasons were suggested. but to-day an officer.

meant that the troops were to remain here
for a while until 1t could be determined where
they were most needed He further said that
be learned there were some big changes to
be made in the plan of campaign, embracing
the army at Santiago. According to him. as
much Of this army can be spared is to be
brought back to the United States and landed
and taken at once into the mountains OF North
Carolina. where 1t will be kept for several
weeks to stamp out the yellow fever and to let
the men recuperate. Then it is to be rushed
to Porto Rico. If 1t is needed. or to Havana.
He said this being determined upon on the
part Of the War Department. owing to the fact
that there was fever raging in the army at San

resort at the camp, SAYS Mr.. Bruncr
and our quarters are crowded MANY
times during the day. A company
will gather around the organ and sing
alternately national airs. college
songs and gospel hymns. The
social atmosphere from the first
was wholesome. But bv far the most
satisfactory feature is the religious
work being done. Heretofore little

but i'll this camp it is the leading fea-
