LOST ARMS AND EQUIPMENTS.
They Must All Be Accounted for to
the Government.

The mastering out of the volunteers will
be followed by vexations and troubles for
officers of the regular army and for many
of the volunteers themselves. This is due
to a Misrepresentation on the part of some
of the officers of the volunteer organiza-
tions respecting the disposition of the prop
erty of the government which they have in
their possession. The government will re-
quire that every article be accounted for.
Every officer or man in the volunteers who
has charge Of government property will
have to account for it before he CAN be.
mustered out and paid. An instance Is re-
lated of a governor of one state VITO re-
ceived two regiments of troops. He told
them they could take thirty days furlough
and go home. What became of all the
equipments in their possession, which are
the property of the government, the United
States officers cannot tell Some Of these
equipments belonged to the ordnance, some
tc subsistence and some to the quarter
masters department. Receipts were given
for these equipments when received from
the government, and the volunteer officers
who gave such receipts will be held re-
sponsible for them. Their pay accounts
will not be settled until every article is
accounted for. If men have carried home
any of the guns, revolvers, swords or any
other article, or If they have lost any of
these articles, the cost will be charged
amount taken out of their final pay.
The officers whose duty it is to make
final settlements with the volunteers do
not look forward to a very pleasant tirle,
as Information already received at the War
Department indicates that there has been
a great deal of carelessness already in the
matter of harding government property
and that which has been lost or destroyed
has not been accounted for in a manner
which will make settlement easy. The
guns with which the National Guard was
equipped when the call for volunteers was
made. and which were brought into service
by the volunteers, are the property of the
United States.
Instead of being turned into the state
arsenals and armories. where they were
kept before the war, they are to be re-
turned to the United States. This require
ment will probably cause some confusion
for 1t is known that in some states volun-
teers have already stacked their arms in
the armories and arsenals of the states
and have not turned them over to federal
ordnance officer, as the order mastering
cut troops requires. All these arms must
be accounted for. 1t is the intention of he
War Department to again supply the
states when the guns and arms are ac-
counted for. but in order to keep a straight
account in the department records ii Is
necessary to have them all turned over to
the government. The same is true Of other
government property.

CAMP ALGER, Dunn Loring, Va,
September 8. 1898.
Authoritative informa ton has reached
the Sd Regiment, Virginia Volunteer In
fantry, that the court of inquiry which con-
sidered recently the order issued by Gen.
Butler rejecting on that command has ex-
onerated the regiment. The report was
sent first to Gen. Graham and considered
in his office. 1t then went to the War De-
partment whence the Information referred
to was sent Col. Nalle.
In substance the report Of the court en-
braces the following data: Shortly before
dress parade, August s, fight occurred be-
tween negro teamster of the 1st Division
hospital and member of the 1st Division
Hospital Corps but a short time previously
transferred to that corps from the Sd Vir

and resulted in favor of the negro. num-
ber of enlisted men afterward chased the
negro across the hospital grounds toward
the adjacent woods, some ten or twelve of
them shouting Lynch him. Hang him!"
This party was composed partly of enlisted
men from the Sd Virginia. the others being
from the hospital corps and civilians. All
the Virginia men had left their camp in
violation of the standing orders of the

opinion of the court, could be characterize

Gen. Buffers Order.
Here the court cites the order issued Au.
gust 9 by Maj. Gen. Butler, commanding
the 1st Division, I'd Army Corps to which
detachment the Sd Virginia was assigned,
and says, in substance:
by the terms of this order the regiment
was credited with all responsibility for the
disturbance; the officers and enlisted men
were confined to the limits of their reg.
imental camp, and were compelled to re-
port daily at four roll calls: the regiment
was arraigned as having disgraced the en-
tire volunteer service and the state of Vir-
ginia, and the adtutants of all the other
regiments of the division were directed to
read the order aloud to their men once
each day. The court comments on this Or
der 1t is said, so far as to intimate that
the author was Influenced while preparing
it by previous experience with the Sd Vir-
ginia which had not been to his liking and
that the order was largely. perhaps main
