The Armory at Twelfth and ORANGE

was visited by the loving friends of
the soldiers who can scarcely bear thsir

consisting of cots, tents, and the vari-
GUS other articles used by the officens
and men while at Camp Meade were
stored in the basement Of the Armcry
under the direction Of Lieutenant n. v.
D. Bcotes. Colonel Gordon could not
be seen, as he was holding confer
enice with his line officers.
Captain Matlack, of Company C, is
officer of the day and Lieutenant Hage-
man his officer of the guard.
Guards have BEEN posted at all the
entrances, and no one in civilian dress
is allowed to enter. The men who ars
not doing duty are privileged 10 go
where they please, but the majority Of
them remain around the Armory. The
members OF the down-state companies
SLEPT in the Armory last night the
doors being open until II o'clock and
the soldiers allowed to pass in and out
until that time. Guards were stationed
at the entrance and no one except the
soldiers we're allowed to enter. The
boys made themselves comfortable by
securing cots from the store-room and
arranging them on the drill room floor.
The exact number Of soldiers who re-
turned yesterday was $50 men and %
commissioned officers. Three of the
men became i'll ait the Armory and were
sent to the Delaware Hcspita. in the
Phoenix ambulance. They are
much better to-day. They are Private
Theodore Purnell, Company II, Of Ber-
lin, Md; Private Frank Kepplin, Gem
pany H, of Georgetown; Private Harry

The men will turn in their equip

and all win probably be paid to-mrr-
row. The paymastar and his assistants
viii finish making out the payroll to-
day.
The general health of the soldiers is
good, and they are all looking we'll. A
few were left in the hospital at Camp
Meade, but were rapidly improving
when the two battalions left for this
city.
Some Of the men are complaining
about the matter of transfers, a few Of
them claiming that they were treated
unfairly in the matter. The general un-
derstanding was that when the Two
battalions were mustered out that these
who desired to remain should be trane-
fered to to Companies A, b, e and M
which are to remain, and that those
who did not wish to remain were 20
be transferred to the two battalions
that are to be mustered out. Some OF
the men say that they were given to
understand that if they furnished sub
stitutCs to take their places they would
be mustered out. It is further claimed
THAT the men did secure sub
stitutes and were not transferred and
are still at Camp Meade. Several ed
the men here expressed their intention
of going back TO Camp Meade and en-
