Sent South for Some Time.
Washington, Oct. 19.-It was stated
at the war department that troops will
rot be sent to the Southern camps un-
til after frost has made it certain that
yellow fever will not spread. This ap-
plies to troops now at Camp Meade,
Lexington and Knoxville. The troops
at Camp Meade in any event will be
held until after the peace jubilee at
Philadelphia, as they are to take part
in that demonstration. Maj. Edie, of
the medical department., who has been
stationed at Lexington for some time
past, was at the department to-day
and says the health of the troops there
has been steadily improving. 1t is
said. however, that it will be too cold
for the troops to occupy tents during
the winter season in the Kentucky
highlands.

Williams, of the Twenty-second Kan
sas volunteers, publishes a statement
in which he says Ralph Botkin, son Of

whose severe illness the war depart

quarters, was never enlisted and did
not see service in the army. Young

fused because of physical disability.

Lieut.. Williams says. "but did not
draw anything from the government
and was not on any muster roll. The
time he stayed around camp he did so
at his own risk, and the government
was no more responsible for him than
it was for any of other camp follow
