ma Back in Port.
There are now three transports in port,
the Manitoba, the Roumanian ana the
Panama. The last two got in yesterday.
Capt Wrigley is still quartermaster of the
Roumanian. and whatever protest may
have gone on to Washington DO not seem
to have affected his position up to this
time. The Roumanian is to carry the
Third Georgia to Nuevitas. 1t is expected
to get off tomorrow, and If there IS no
delay from excessively bad weather. the
men will go aboard some time in. the
morning. 1t was intended 10 go on loading
both the Roumanian and the Manitoba
last night, but it was decided not to do
so owing to the rain,
The Michigan sailed yesterday morning
for Matanzas with the Second and Third
Battalions of the Eighth Massachusetts,
which arrived the day before.
No orders have been issued to the Third
Georgia relative to preparations for their
movement from here to their new post
in Cuba. Col. Berner, who went out of
the city on Sunday, did not return yester-
day from Forsyth, as expected. kilograms
were sent him about the probable, early
departure of the regiment and he Is look
ed for this morning.
The Third Georgia was paid off by Mai.
Bulls yesterday, and the men were re-
ported in good humor last night over the
prospect of an early movement to Cuba.
None of the officers seemed TO know any
thing about the reported desire of great
number of the men to be discharged from
the service. If the war department pro
poses to let them go it will have to act
| promptly If it desires to turn them loose
on Georgia soil. To-day the men will
largely spend whatever money they pro
pose putting into little comforts for the
| camp in Cuba. But for the bad weather
| Col. Bellinger would probably have got
! the transport loaded and the men on board
this afternoon. He will not know until
| well along to-day what hour the fegl-
ment will board the Roumanian. What
ever the time of the day, though, the regi-
ment is assured of a good send off If the
weather win only clear enough TO permit
of it.
The six troops of the Seventh Cavalry,
| who are going 10 Havana on the Manitoba,
are expected to arrive this afternoon, and
will go aboard of the transport at once.
! Their baggage is looked for this morn
| ing. Some signal corps men will be with
them The fun shipment that will be
made on the Manitoba, as prepared by
Col. BeHinger, is as follows:
Seventh Cavalry-13 officers, $50 men, Al
civilians, SO horses and SO mules.
Seventeenth Company, Signal Corps
officers, SO men, 90 animals.
Lieut.. Duffy's Signal Detachment-l or
| ficer, SO men, mules.
Heavy Artillery, Battery H, Second Reg
! iment-2 officers 1873 men; Battery L. 2
officers, 1877 men. Both of these batteries
are at Savannah.
One hundred and two scattering soldiers
of different commands who have been on
! the sick list or forfother cause have been
| left behind and who have been quartered
with the provost guard in the Chatham
| hall. Owing to the crowded condition of
the provost quarters, these men were sent
down to the wharf last night and accom-
modated ON a transport until they are
ready to leave.
First Division Hospital Force-2 officers,
6S men, 81 animals.
This would give a total to go on the
| Manitoba of % officers, 1,165 enlisted men,
Al civilians, S27 stock. This transport is
