MANY SEEK NEWS OF
ii. PAY FROM GOVERNMENT

Since the publishing, sometime ago.
of an article stating that the United
states Government had acknowledged
the claim OF the Alabama Volunteers
to the spanish, War and would pay
them for the time spent idly in Mobile
from the time of their enlistment to
their rejection, J. T. McTyeire the
lieutenant OF Company A, of the anu
Alabama, which enlisted from Mont
gomery. has been overburdened with
letters from all parts OF the state. not
only from the members OF his own
company, but from ali other companies
as well, requesting him to put In
their claims to the war Department.
Mr. McTyeire stated last evening
that he had received so many letters
from men who were rejected at that
time that he had not had time to an
swer them all, and he was paying more
attention TO the letters from the merri-
bers Of his own company.
MIR. McTyeire further stated that 1t
would be a great pleasure to ind this
data for the men In the other COM
panies, who have written him, but on
account of the enormity of the work,
he would be unable to do this for
them, and the proper channel for them
to take in order to secure this money
due them, was through their own
commanding officers.
To find out the dates of the enlist
ment and rejection OF each man in his
own company, who was rejected at
Mobile, means considerable work for
Mr. McTyeire, as the only data he has
are the old files OF The Advertiser.
Lieutenant McTyeire has been work
ing quite diligently on this task for
timetinue, but expects to have the
record Of each man in his old company
complete very shortly. all of which
has to be done before the pay Is forth
coming r
pay for the rejected men Is due at
twice the regular United states rate
for the time and the rank OF service,
40 II may be easily seen that the ag-
gregate amount due Ii considerable,
ana 1t is estimated that the total COM
pensation due those rejected from the
Montgomery companies will amount to
over $1,000.
