chief of engineers of the United States

| No vessel will be allowed to pass through
the channel on the side of the Ripraps

set and sunrise. During this interval yes
sells must not approach within three miles
of Fort Monroe. Patrol boats will be placed
above and below the defenses. These boats
are used to stop vessels, to inquire into
their character or to instruct them how TO
pass through the mine fields. The orders OF
the. patrol boats must be strictly obeyed.
Sailing vessels and all small vessels draw
ing three 60 feet or less can safely pass
through any part OF the channel during the
daytime. Steam vessels must pass at slow
speed through " special channel, which VIII

The morning on board the big ships was
spent in lively work. At signal from the

CHICKAMAUGA PARK, Ca, April 60
General field orders directing the formation
into a division of two brigades of infantry
regiments of the United States troops here
were issued to-day by Major General
Brooke Col. James j. Van Horne of the
Eighth Infantry is put in command Of the
division, he being the ranking senior Off
Ger. The First Brigade is composed of the
Seventh, Eighth, Twelfth and Twenty-ffth
Infantry. with Col Andrew s. Burt, of the
Twenty-fifth, in command. The Second
Brigade. according to the general order, is
made up of the Second and Twenty-fourth
Infantry, land such other infantry as may
arrive hereafter.
Plans in regard to the formation of the
Second Brigade We're knocked awry this
evening by the definite announcement that
the order for the First Regiment from the
Preside and Benicia Barracks, California,
to proceed to Chickamauga had been coun-
fernandez, and that the regiment had gone
into camp at New Orleans. This also, for
the time being, at least, disposed of the
plan of the organization of the infantry
into three brigades of three regiments each.
AS it stands now the Sixteenth. from Forts
Sherman Spokane and Boise Barracks, is
the only regiment which Major General
Brooke is reasonably certain of having in
corporated in his army. Detached officers
OF that regiment have already reported for
duty here. The Eighteenth and Nineteenth
Regiments, the former from Forts Bliss
and Sam Houston, and the latter from
Forts Brady and Wayne, it is thought,
however may come to Chickamauga, in
which case three brigades of three regi-
ments each will be formed. AS the Second
Brigade now stands Col. j. c.. Bates, of the
Second. is in command. Battery X, of the
First, from Texas, and Batteries c and +.
of the Third, from San Francisco, arrived
to-day. This makes ten batteries in CT mp
and completes the artillery concentration
here. 1t is the intention to organize them
into two battalions of five batteries each,
with Majors Lancaster and Dillenback as
commanders
The Second Regiment of Infantry from
Forts Keogh and Harrison, Montana, and

WASHINGTON. April 26.-Indiana physi-
clans to the number of nearly go have
rendered their services to the secretary of
war and navy. In addition to this number
hundreds Of members of the medical pro-
fession have written or telegraphed to their
members in Congress and TO Senators Fair

resentative Steele says a sufficient number
of Indiana physicians have expressed de-
sire to volunteer to make up full regl-
ment. A tidal wave of martial enthusiasm
is sweeping over Indiana veterans of the
late war judging from the letters pouring
in upon members of Congress. The law
would have to be changed To let these com
rades'' into the service, and Congress is
not likely to raise the age limit while there
are twenty-five young men anxious TO en-
list for every one who can be used. 1t looks
as though there would not be the slightest
trouble in raising fifty thousand volunteers
