The Third Immunes. Col. Rays regi-
ment, arrived yesterday morning at the
city quarantine station on the transport
Sedgewick and left in the afternoon for
sapeio where a camp of detention will be
established None of the command were
allowed to leave the vessel during the
short stay at the station, and it will no,
be until five days after they undergo dis
infection that the soldiers will be allowed
TO communicate with any others than the
force that will have the work of getting
rid of any possible yellow fever germs in
charge.
Rays regiment comes from Sagua de
Tanamo, and will come back to Savannah
on the expiration of the five days in the
detention camp. The stay here will be
brief, however, as the command will be
put aboard train and sent on to Macon to
be mustered out of the service. The peo-
pie of Savannah would be pleased to see
more of the soldiers. as they were here for
a week last summer before going to
Cuba, and there were many friendships
and acquaintances made
In the regiment there are NOT a few Sa-
vannahlans, and number of the officers
are well known here. Lieut.. j. A. Thorn
as, Jr., is the only officer from Savan-
nah. The appointments for the positions
were made from Georgia, Alabama, Ten
nessee and South Carolina. Mr.. David c.
Barrow of this city was adjutant of the
regiment. but resigned some months ago.
The regiment has seen as arduous service
in Cuba as any volunteer regiment that
went there after the war was over
The Fourth Tennessee Regiment will
leave early this morning for the govern
ment quarantine station al Sapeio where
the troops will be d.sinfected and will go
into camp of detention for five days The
restrictions of the marine hospital service
demand that this arrangement be made
before the regiment can enter port The
transport Dixie, which brought the com
mand from Trinidad, Cuba, arrived at the
city quarantine station too late to admit
of the vessel getting into port merely by
having the personal baggage of the officers
and men, and the heavy baggage of the
regiment disinfected. Such was the plan
followed with all regiments that arrived
between March Is and April l.
The Dixie arrived Saturday morning at
the city station and the men have all re-
NAMED aboard the vessel. Capt. Worth.
ington. the assistant quartermaster in
charge of her. will take her down to the
government station early this morning Col
J. b. Beflnger. depot quartermaster left
last night by rail for the station to per-
feet all arrangements for the accommoda-
ton of the regiment while 1t remains in
the camp of detention. The camp will be
established by Col. Brown as soon as his
men are disinfected lie will make his own
selection of a camp site. The Third I'm
muues, which also have to remain for five
days in detention, will be camped near the
Fourth Tennessee.
Tentage. cots and rations for the troops
will be taken to Sapelo this morning The
steamer Santee chartered by the govern
ment win leave the city quarantine station
al daylight and viii arrive by the time the
Dixie puts In an appearance. Every effort
will be made to make the regiment as COM
Portable as possible during its enforced
stay on the island, Wagons and animals
win also be taken, as the baggage of the
regiment and the supplies will have to be
transported.
After the Fourth Tennessee has been
detained for FIVE days a transport will
bring the regiment TO Savannah, and il
will either camp and be mustered out here.
or go on to Augusta. Either the Fourth
or the Third Kentucky will remain here to
be mustered out.
When the Sedgewick and the Dixie dis
charge the regiments they will return 10
the city quarantine station. where supplies
win be loaded. The rations will be sent
down on a lighter and will be furnished by
the depot commissary. The vessels will
get away as speedily as possible after they
get the rations on board. 1t is thought
both will arrive at the city station this
afternoon or early tomorrow morning.
MUSTERED OUT APRIL 25.
