DELAWARE
VOLUNTEERS.
They Are Receiving Their
New Uniforms. Many
Visitors.

Mddlotown, Del, June 5.-Tho visitors
at Camp Tunnel to.day were not as nnm-
erous us on previous Sundays, due chiefly
trains. The clothing which arrived few
days ago is being distrlbu cd, the men bo-
ing fitted out by companies. Company

Men and officers are still being kopt rig.
idly within the lines, and it is thought
the regiment will bc ordered to move as
soon as the equipments have all been dis
tributed.
Nearly all of the company officers have
ordered new uniforms. Some are being
made in Wilmington and some in Phila-
dclphia. and there is complaint that tho
clothing is not being turned out In some
instances, us rapidly as had been anticipa-
ted.
There is likely to be considerable dis
satisfaction oyer the proposal to recruit
the Delaware regiment up to 1900 mon.
Under the first call for troops the States
quota, according to population, was 341.
and the regim ,nt has beon recruited to
lO!S officers and men. Under the second
call the State is not asked to furnish mora
soldiers. Should third call be mado
,hercis q disposition to commits .ion color
ed officers to organize battalion. The
regiment was, however, recruited to its
present strength aftcr the most strenuous
efforts of the officers, and many persons
think no furthor attUmps should be made
at present to obtain soldiers from Della.

Two More of Our Heroes.

Tampa, Fla, June 6.--Bv an act Of
heroism Lieutenant Parker who is in
charge of the cid clubhouse on Lafay-
ettc street, which Is being used by the
government as stOrehouse, and
Thomas McGee, a veteran Of the civil
war. prevented what might have been
calamity. These two men picked up a
box Of ammunition which in some
mysterious way had caught fire, and
needless of the danger carried it to the
river, some distance away, and thew
it in the water. The box was recov-
cred later, when the tide went out, and
was found TO be considerably charrcd,
How the fire originated IS g. mystery.
Had the cartridges in the burning box
exploded great loss of life might have
resulted.

said he, "but there must be no more

Friday morning the Merrlmac start
ed In shortly after o'clock. Slowly
the seconds of fate licked on as, for an
hour, 5000 strained eyes strove to
pierce the deep veil of night.
Suddenly several blood red tongues
Of flame shot down from the rocky em-
inence on which Moro Castle is sit
uated. They were followed by Jets
and streaks of fire from the batteries
opposite. The Merrimac had reached
the entrance of the harbor. Into tho
murderous fire the Merrimac passed
and moved full quarter of mile.
It seems miracle that her apparently
riddled hull could have reached tho
goal. After five minutes the firing
ceased, and all became dark again.
Spaniards Admire Their Bravery.
Then among the watchers of tho
feet arose the question as to whether
those five minutes of murder had left
grief stricken mothers or widows or
orphans. Many gunncr's mate be-
sought permission to fire, but nothing
could be done, as an i'll directed shot
might kill our men, possibly struggling
in the water -oward the open sea-
When the curtain of night was at
last lifted the light disclosed tiny
steam launch riding the waves at the
very throat of the entrance of the har-
bor In an instant the guns of tho
shore batteries were turned upon her,
and with last, lingering vain look
for the crew of the Merrimac Ensign
Powell headed his launch close along
shore to the westward. In this lay
his salvation. The guns Of the bat
teries to the westward could not bo
depressed enough to hit the little
launch, and the guns on Moro Castle
would not bear upon her
teTN Cld Tue Spanish dulHlIitt was 81
struck with the courage Of the Merri-
macs crew that he thought Admiral
Sampson Should know they had not
lost their lives He therefore sent hiB
chief Of staff, Captain Oveido, to board
the New York under flag of truce.
Captain Oveido told how Hobson and
his men had jumped into boat as ths
torpedoes were exploded and rowed
away from the sinking collier As it
would have been impossible to row to
our feet through the storm of shot and
shell they roWed to the Spanish flag
ship and surrendered. Captain Oveido
stated that two Of our men are slightly
injured. He did not know their names.
Lieutenant Hobson Is uninjured.
The Spanish admiral offers to ex-
change the prisoners. and declares that
meanwhile they will be treated with
the greatest kindness. Their bravery
has won for them the admiration OF
every man in the Spanish fleet. When
Captain Oveido returned to his fleet
he took supply of provisions and
money for the prisoners.
