Camp Alger, Va, July 3.Yester-
day was rather quiet day in camp.
There was very little enthusiasm, and
the men put forth little exertion ex-
cept to seek the shadiest and coolest
places possible. The usual company
skirmish drills took place in the fore
noon. During the rest of the day drill
ing was entirely out of the question.
The thermometer began to mount
higher and higher till at two, three
and four o'clock in the afternoon the
heat was oppressive-12O in the shade.
and $50 in the sun. This resulted in
suspension of drills on the part of
many regiments. and this was the case
with the Thirteenth.
At $50 Lieutenant Colonel Mates
conducted the dress parade ceremony
In the absence of Colonel Coursen, and
Immediately after Major Stillwell
drilled the regiment. Captain Frank
Robling, ot Company c, acting as
major of the first battalion. The drill
lasted an hour, and was a severe test
on the boys, as it followed dress par
ade and there was not even a breath
of air.
THIS AFTERNOON the newly recruited
companies which came from Sea Girt
TO NIL the quota Of the First New Jer-
sey, arrived and presented almost a
pitiable sight. After a long ride in
the train. the sudden changes from the
sea breezes to the torrid heat Of this
climate. and the walk from the depot
TO the camp, they were in a bad con-
dition. AS many as fifteen men col
lspsed in heap.
Guard mount was held, in accordance
with the new rule, at o'clock, and
later in the evening the Thirteenth's S
band gave a concert in front of head
quarters.

ADELlNA PATTI IN CUBA.
The Diva Made Her Debut In That
Country.

1t was in Cuba that Madame Adelina
Patti sang in public for the first time
in her life, when she was only fourteen
years of age, and still under the care Of
her father. The family was very poor
and had placed all its hopes on the
miraculous voice of little Adelna,
whom, however, thev did not dare to
produce in public on account of her
youth.
The opportunity came one day at a
concert organized by the Filarmonia OF
Cuba, and though the debutante was
timid and inexperienced. her success
was complete. The audience insisted
on an encore. and applauded the young
singer enthusiastic ally. Mile. Patti
was Immediately christcned "the won
derful child" by the Cuhans. and thus
began the prima donna's brilliant ca
reer.

Camp Alger, Va, July. 3.-General
Skaters failure to take Santiago with
the forces at his command has resulted
inr an order from the war department
at Washing ton this evening calling out
the Second brigade, First division, Sec
ond army corps now at Camp Alger.
7he brigade consists Of the Eighth
Chic, sixth Massachusetts, and Sixth
Illinois regiments.
The brigade Is commanded by General
Garretson. The regiments will be sent
on to Santiago at tonce. kilograms
were tenight sent to all members of
the regiments who are away on fur
ioughs calling for their immediate re-
turn. There is hardly any probability
that the Third brigade, Of which the
Thirteenth is part, going to Cuba
for some time on account of lack of
equipments.
RUMOR STARTED.
The news from Washington that the
three regiments mentioned were to be
given active service started the ru-
NOR that the Third brigade was to go.
The report quickly spread throughout
camp. ! saw the division commander,
Major General Butler who absolutely
SAID that no such order had been re-
ceived by him or by Major General
Graham as far as he knew.
Great excitement in the Thir-
teenths ranks was caused last
night at II o'clock by the bugle
sumnonng the men to arms. Assem-
bly, Immediately followed. Company
commanders were ordered to have the
night roll call checked up.
The Sixth Pennsylvania regiment had
been paid during the day and about
three hundred had started for their
homes without furlcughs. The cavalry
at Fort Myer and "A battalion of the
Eighth Pennsylvania were ordered to
capture the men, many of whom had
secured liquor and had become drunk
and were terrorizing the people of Falls
Church. over two hundred were CAP
tured and placed in guard houses.
None of the Thirteenth regiment were
away from camp.
CHAPLAIN STALLS WORK,

Mems Christian association tent this
morning and tonight he preached be-
fore the colored Ninth Ohio regiment.

The official dispatch with reference
