The quartermaster's and ordnance depart

stores go out to the regiments. One fea-
ture which adds to the strain on the
quartermaster' department is that, on an
average, the soldiers at Camp Thomas wear
out daily nearly so suits of uniforms, and
other clothing in proportion. The ordnance
department received to-day three carloads
of ordnance stores from the Rock Island
arsenal, including ninety-five boxes of
horse and other equipments for the artil-

he resigned a year ago. was defeated to-
Gay at a meeting of that body. State Sena-

by vote of 80 TO 90 refused to accept
Senator Scott's resignation and postponed
its further consideration until September S.
The causes which led up to to-day's

atcr Wellington bitterly opposed the nom-
iration Of William #. Master. Two city con-
that of Theodore Marbur;. Two city con-

miles from Santiago yesterday morning

the Spaniards. who did not offer to molest
them, and the Americans spent the day as

corporal said that. If he had had with him
sufficient force he could have brought in

Several pacificos brought in by the Amer
lean outposts profess to know little OF what

A detail of company of the Seventh
regiment returned here last night in state
of great hilarity, inquiring where they

described by a corporal as being "as thick
as "A shingle and as long as lath.' The
prisoner has been dedicated by the men to
carrying their captains baggage.
The camp conditions continue hard.
Heavy rains yesterday set everything
afioat. Rations, however, are being served
out more regularly. but they are still not
plentiful. Officers and men fare alike. The
latter are suffering during the cold nights
from lack of blankets thrown away on the
march. These have been appropriated by
the Cubans, who take everything in sight
and do as little as possible. On the whole,
they actually fare better than our men.
