ply at Camp Alger. Va. was made public
today by the War Department:
This regiment has suffered somewhat
from lack of proper supply of water. l
took active measures to procure a supply,
and have been working to that end since
our arrival in camp. / have sunk three
wells. which furnish a liberal amount of
water which our surgeons pronounce
good. In order to be certain have sent
samples to the surgeon general of the
United States Army for analysis. As n
matter of precaution / have purchased
pump pipe and tools and am driving an
other well.
Owing to a misunderstanding between
the issuing commissary at Camp Black,
L. l.. and the A. c. S. of this command.
We are short one-third of one ration. 9th
erwise food supply has been ample.
Il have made MOI complaints. II I had
any TO make 1 should have tried to for
mulate them properly and forwarded
them through the proper channels"

Albany n. Y, June S.-Further evidence

Quartermaster Sergeant George A. Will
son. of Company H, and Drum Major Ed
ward Mcintyre. each of whom wore his
medal showing more than twenty years
OF continuous military service They saw
Governor Black and presented a petition.
signed by more than three hundred of the
old members. asking that the regiment
be given a chance to retrieve itself They
said that the plan proposed now is to de-
tach the present battalion. made up of
their men. from the Twenty-third Regi-
ment, and make 1t the nucleus of an ef-
fort to recruit up to war basis. with a
view to going to the front. The governor
repeated the encouragement he had given
to the former committee and advised his
visitors to call on Adjutant Gen. Tilling-
hast.
Most of the afternoon was spent by the
committee in the adjutant generals office.
The committee took a late train for New
York. The chief obstacle to a definite ar
rangement. they said. was the absence of
all knowledge as to what the second call
for troops will require from this State.
