The most satisfactory reports are being re-

will receive their full quota of men at an
earlier date than was anticipated. Re-
cruits began arriving to-day and are being
assigned as rapidly they come in. Gen.

pect of having every regiment equipped
within a week.
The report that fifteen regiments are to
leave Camp Thomas for Tampa during the
next few Gays is the main subject of in
terest in the camp to-day, and it is being
eagerly discussed by both officers and men,
1t is impossible to confirm the report as
the army officials refuse to discuss it, but
nearly every man in camp now believes it,
when the news of move gained circulation
there was general rejoicing among the SOL
diers. The greater portion of them have
been very anxious to go to the front and
now that there is fair prospect of a large
number of regiments leaving, the boys are
all anxious to know just who will be in
cluded in the order. This is ndt known and
will not be made public until Major General
Brooke issues order. 1t is understood that
the Eighty ninth, Twelfth and Fourteenth
New York, Second and Third Illinois,
First, Fourth, Fifth Ninth and Sixteenth
pennsylvania, Fourth Ohio and Eighth
Massachusetts will be among the first to be
ordered to the front In addition to these
regiments there are many others which
lack only small amount of equipment and
which could DE equipped for operation
without much trouble
