to get six regiments off from Frisco

troops.

regiment, all of the officers and men
being in attendance. The remains
were placed in the stern of the vessel

ing short of congressional action would
remedy the defect. DIR. Salmon said,
however, that he did not anticipate
much danger from the use of goat
meat, as goats were generally healthy
animals.
