The Second brigade under General Gordon, is more unfortunate than the First, under General Wheaton Not long ago an order was issued from division headquarters for the men to begin drill at o'clock in the morning. This means that they must drill three hours before break- fast and without the benefit of sea breeze. General Wheaton protested against this and the order has never become effective in the First brigade. The drill ground which requires a two mile march through the sand and palmetto bushes, has also been deserted by the First When the rainy season proper sets in this ground will be vast pond
 As Chaplain Fitzsimmons expressed it, there is some cause for this abnormal amount of disease among a supposedly sound body of men, and it should be reme- died in some way.

THE CAMP cHATTERBOx

With pay day came a numerous assort- ment of blind tigers. Captain Parkes, of Company A, with aldetail of men, went out the other night to make few raids. Soon they came across "The White Eagle" a contraband boat, which was doing thriv- ing business. The posse entered and cap- tured about fifty bottles of whisky calcsl- lated to put bad notions into the head of an amen-corner saint The raid was so suc- cessful that the boys of Company A are talking of pushing the captains chances fer revenue officer when he returns to Alabama.

Thanks Them for Their FrIan and Cordial ResoIu-

 has sent the following letter to General John B. Gordon, in response to the resolu- tions adopted by the Confederate Veterans assembled in Atlanta:
 Executive Mansion,
 Washington July 23. Hon. John B. Gordon, Commander-in- Chief United Confederate Veterans, Atlanta, Ga;
 Dear General Gordon:-Your recent tele- gram in behalf of the United Confederate Veterans was very welcome, and I would have written to you before in acknowledge ment except for the unusual demands upon my time. The present war has certainly served one very useful purpose in com- pletely obliterating the sectional lines drawn in the last one. The response to the nations call to arms has been equally the country. Veterans of the gray as well as of the blue are now fighting side by side, winning equal honor and renown. Their brave deeds and the unequalled triumphs of our army and navy have received the grati- tude of the people of the United States. To have such a heart commendation from you and your colleagues of the work of this administration in the conduct of the war and the pledge of what ever support may be needed to help us bring it to a success fu completion Is indeed more gratifying; and I thank you especially for the frank and cordial expression of the resolutions passed and forwarded to me.
 With very kind regards, am respectfully yours. WILLIAM M'KINLEY.

Revelations Of a Boston Man After an Interview With
 MT. Roosevelt.
Declares That the Board of Inquiry Will Give Names of Spaniards
 Who Blew Up the Ship
Special Dispatch to The Call.

BOSTON, March PA very promf- nent Boston man, who within a few months held a high Federal office III Massachusetts, has just returned from Washington. While in Washington he spent the greater part of a day with Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roose- welt. This very prominent Boston1an has made the following statement to gentleman who stands high in social and business circles in this city:
 "FTst-That the battle-ship Maina was deliberately assigned to moorings over a sunken mine in Havana harbor-
 ''Second-That the sunken mine was deliberately exploded by a Spanish ofil- cer who was in collision in the deed with other Spanish officers
 From other statements attributed to the Boston man in question it appears that the Naval Board of Inquiry knows the name of the Spanish officer who blew up the Maine and has probably the names of his accompliceS in the dastardly crime.
 It is expected in Washington that tho first report of the Board of Inquiry will be made public with a statement that the Maine was destroyed by des sign and through the explosion of Q sunken mine, but will not relate the name of the Spaniard who is respon- sible. It is believed that a second and supplementary report will give the names or evidence pointing to the identity of the perpetrators of this un- paralleled outrage.

TRAVER, March 23-Northbound passenger train No. IS was held up at Cross Creek bridge, four miles south of Traver, last night about 1O:55 D. m by two train-robbers.
 The men boarded the train at Go- shen, and soon after pulling out climbed into the engine and compelled When the train reached Cross Creek the steam gave out and the train stop- ped. The express car was then blown up with dynamite. It was completely demolished.
 The mail car was then entered and the mail pouch containing the through San Francisco registered matter was cut open and all contents taken. No one was injured.
 The robbers had buggy in readiness near the scene and they left in this, go- ing north. They were heard going by Harry Burk's saloon in Traver at lively pace.
 The trainmen hurried to Traver with the GnSln6 anu IIldll CdT OOulHeIH I'd cific Detective O. J. Meade was on board and he notified the Fresno and Selma officers, and posses were sent out on a special train, leaving there at 2:45 a. m. In the posse were Sheriff Scott, Depu- ties Henry, Peck and Timmins, and Constable Con Angel.
 A posse was also started from Tu- lare, led by Sheriff Merritt. The Sher- If has with him Daggett and Reed, the men who frustrated the Mccall hold up two years ago,
 No special description can be given of the men.
 Cross Creek bridge Is two miles south of Traver, and the men would have had time to reach Traver. They were evidently headed for Fresno.
 Only two -7en were in sight during the hold-up.
 Sectionmen have been taken to Cross Creek and the wrecked car placed on a siding to allow the train to proceed.
 There is no means of finding out how much was taken by the robbers from the express box.

belli by Spain and that, pending our ef- fort to ameliorate conditions in the isl and, the Spanish Government may find some way of giving independence to the Cubans without involving the two coun- tries in war Just how this can be done he does not know. He recognizes that the United States cannot go on indeh nitely feeding all the people in the isl and, and he believes the judgment of the civilized world will sustain him in bring ing to an end condition which makes such action on the part Of 1.-the United States necessary. The feeding of starv- ing people he does not consider an act of war. If Spain so considers it, the re- sponsibility is upon her.
 If war comes the President prefers that 1t should result from our attitude in regard to the general Cuban question rather than on account of the Maine dis aster
 President Mckinley realizes that the report of the Court of Inquiry will be such as to cast grave suspicion upon Spain in the popular judgment He already knows that 1t will not directly duplicate the Spanish Government. The report will be here on Thursday Its general conclusions are already we'll known. It will be transmitted to both houses of Congress on Monday In the House it. will be referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs and in the Senate to the Committee on Naval Affairs. The latter committee has all ready been authorized by resolution to begin Senatorial investigation as to the responsibility for the disaster, and by the reference of the report to that committee hasty action of any kind will be prevented
 The President, in his message on the general Cuban question, in which the re- lief appropriation will be asked for, will make 1t so plain to Congress that the island of Cuba is lost to Spain and that the Government aid contemplated is practical intervention, that he believes Congress will not hesitate to grant the appropriation asked for without such conditions as might justify Spain in considering it an overt act of hostility This, at any rate, is what he prefers. Whether Congress will make the ap- propriation without a specific declara ton for forcible intervention remains to be seen.
 Representative Cannon of Illinois is one of the men who still believes that var may be avoided He said to nc: As look at 1t, every days delay is in the interest of peace, for if I understane the situation every time the sun goes down it leaves the United States better prepared to fight and it leaves Spain in worse condition than on inc day before. The gigantic preparations tle Crited States is now making for war may be the means of preserving peace.
