HOUSE DRAINAGE PROGRESS.

Contractors Think Section for Sec
Ond Year VIII he Completed.
The house drainage work In Savannah
will stop May l, and the contractors, Miles
& Bradt are making an effort to complete
the section set apart for the second year.
Unless some unforeseen hindrance arises,
there is no doubt but they will be able to
do this.
For some time the contractors have been
concentrating their efforts on the West
Broad street outlet. which has proved a
difficult and costly job Trouble was had
with the cofferdam, which did not seem
quite equal to the situation, and much de-
lay followed. Mr.. Bradt stated yesterday
that he thought the outlet was off hands
now, though the pipes have only been run
from the river 70 the River street railroad,
a distance OF about 100 feet. The West
Broad street work will be the next taken
up.
Progress is being made on the mains now
being laid on East Broad street, but some
of the hindrances recently encountered
still remain. The East Broad street work
is being looked after by Mr.. Sargent, who
Is connected with the consulting engineers
office.

RECEIVED IT'S HEAVY BAGGAGE,
Second Louisiana Now Has All Its
Traps From Quarantine.

Second Louisiana Now Has All Its
Traps From Quarantine.
The last of its heavy baggage was re-
ceived yesterday by the Second Louisiana
Regiment from the quarantine station. A
detail of men took the baggage from the
wharf to the camp and the guard that had
been posted over it since 1t was left at
quarantine was glad to be relieved of its
duty.
Among the baggage were many of the
company and regimental records, the lack
of which has been impeding the work OF
the mastering officers. Now that the rec
cords are all In hand there will be nothing
further to delay the mastering out ar
rangements and il is expected they will
get along swimmlngly. The day for the
muster out of the regiment is yet to be as
signed.
The two New York surgeons, Mai. Burr
and Lieut.. Clinton, of the Two Hundred
and Second, have about completed their
physical examination of the officers and
men of the Second. Comparatively few
were found TO have sustained any injuries,
or to have had their health impaired per-
manently by army life. Some have afilic-
tons that were visited upon them while
in the performance of, or in the line of
duty, and to these there will doubtless be
pensions awarded in the future. 1t is us
TALLY the case that three or four men of
a company are found to have sustained in
juries of a nature sufficiently serious to
be made the basis of claims for pensions.
Savannahians are not visiting the camps
of the regiments in as great numbers a.
when the troops were here before. The
novelty of the thing has worn Off and,
besides, there are no reglmental parades n
drills to attract them. The Louisiana reg
iment probably has as many friends in the
city as any other, but the visitors are
not so frequent as they were before the
command sailed for Cuba. One or two Of
the regiments still have formations though
none have regular drills. and they have
more visitors to camp than others. The
Louisianans are among those who have
been totally relieved from the unpleasant-
ness of drills and formations for any other
purpose than roll cal.

ALL THE vIRGINIANs ARE HERE.
Last Detachment Arrived Yesterday
by Way of Plant system.


by Way of Plant System.
The twelve companies Of the Fourth Vir-
ginia Regiment are now here. Col @.
W. Taylor, with Company F and the four
companies of the Third Battalion, arrived
last night by the Plant System and will
join their somrades in camp this morning
when the train comes in from Southover
Junction. The soldiers spent last night on
the cars.
The officers and men of the Virginia reg
iment are not as well pleased with their
new camp site as they were with that they
had when the command was here before
leaving for Cuba The new location is an
admirable camp for summer. as there are
many trees upon it, but the Nirginians
miss the many and convenient buildings
they had on their first site. Where they
now are there are no mess shacks, kitch-
ems, storerooms, guardhouses or other
buildings, and they win not fare quite as
well in the matter of conven!ences.
The people of Savannah are particularly
glad to see the Fourth Virginia back once
more. Before the regiment left several
young men of Savannah, who had been
members Of other commands that had been
mustered out of the service, joined it for
the trip to Cuba. Their friends are pleas
ed to welcome them back.

The One Hundred and Sixtieth Indiana
Regiment is established in camp. The
command came up yesterday from the

Nebraska Regiment.
The regiment came up In three detach-
ments. The first detachment arrived at
the wharf at about 1S0 o'clock and the
second at about 3. In each of the detach-
ments there were 270 men. In the last.
which arrived at O'Clock, there were 500

NO NEWS OF THIRD KENTUCKY.
Regiment Will Probably Have to BE
Detained Five Days.


The Third Kentucky Regiment is to
come TO Savannah to be mustered out of
the service, but there have been no ad-
vices received of its departure for this
city. A report has been received of the
regiment having left on the Sedgewick,
but it Is thought there must be some mis-
take about it, as the last heard from the
Sedgewick was when she was at Santiago
awaiting the mobilization of the Third
Immunes to bring them to Savannah.
If the Third Kentucky does not arrive
at quarantine before midnight
tonight 1t will probably have
to go into camp of detention
when 1t does arrive. Fort Pulaski will
be used If the regiment has to be kent
tive days outside the city. 1t seems scarce
ly possible that the regiment could have
sailed without some news of it other than
that which Is regarded as erroneous hav-
ang been received If it has not left Cuba
u VIII certainly have to go into the deten-
ton camp.

The Ward Line steamship Vigilancia,
