CAMP COLUMBIA, CUBA. January is.
spccial.-This was another field day here
I'm camp against Monte CarlO-the Ei
Dorado OF those who are fond OF all
sorts Of games OF cards and dice here in
camp.
I'm the mdrning the guard OF the
Fourth Virginia Regiment swooped
down upon the various improvised tables
west OF the camp. just across the rail-
road track. but the game-keepers and
their patrons were on the lookout and
skipped at the approach Of the soldiers
leaving their lay-Outs behind, which
were taken charge by the guard.
AS General Hasbrouck, 10 whom the
matter had been reported. had made up
his mind to have this promiscuous gam
bling broken up, another order was Is
sued TO the guard this evening Just be-
fore tattoo 10 so on another raid.
Lieutenant Plummer. of Company G.,
the officer OF the guard, gathered twenty
men. who were not then on DUTY and
led one half Of the men directly upon
Monte Carlo after having divided the
remainder in charge OF two non-com-
missioned officers 10 surround the place
from the two TANKS. The plan proved
TO be successful. for the guards reached
the spot Just IN time to capture five Of
GAMBLERS CAPTURED.
The men were taken completely by sur
prise, although they had extinguished
the light and endeavOred 10 escape In
the dark. After their identity had been
ascertained the men were allowed TO re-
pair 10 their quarters, four Of them be-
longing 10 Company & and one 10 Com
p8ny A.
Apparently the authorities are fearing
serious trouble with the Cuhans, Tor /
am informed that an order viii be sent
out from Corps Headquarters in the
morning providing for issuing or sixty
rounds OF ammunition and five days
field rations for each man IN the Seventh
Corps. The reason for this action IS 10
be found IN the fact that the Cubans
have withdrawn into the mountains and
are not willing 10 give up their arms IN
the stipulated time.

masters stationed here IN Havana, left
