Correspondence to THE STAU CAMP GEORGE H THOMAS Ga Aug 13 Today the Sixth regiment was spected by Major Schuuk of the regular army and all members of Co B were hard at work all morning getting street quarters and equipments in shape for the inspection As an additional tive for getting every thing in the best of shape Lieutenant Chase offered to the whose quarters were in the best shape a reward of cigars for each Captain Stroud made a preliminary in- before the arrival of the regular inspector and pronounced Corporal Ir- vine's mess the winner with Sergeant and Sergeant Lea's mess close behind in the order named When the regular inspector got to our street he found the whole company in line at the head of the strees every man with shoes blacked clothes carefully brushed and guns and brasses as clean as they conld be while down the street in front of each tent in a perfect line was the clothing and extra supplies of each man each in a neat little pile so that it would show at a glance to the inspector in what shape every thing was kept It had required quite a little work to get thing in shape but everyone felt repaid when the inspector said it was the finest street he had ever inspected This taken with the report that the Sixth regiment made the finest appearance of any ment in the review of all troops in the park last Monday repays the boys in a way for not being in the Santiago or Porto Rico campaign During the past week or two the camps of nearly all the regiments have been changed and our regiment is one of the few whose camp was considered in good enough as to require no change Part of this is undoubtedly i due to the natural advantages of our camp ground but a great deal is also due to the care which has been taken in keeping every part of it thoroughly policed and cremation of all refuse I matter The changes of other regiments though have completely taken up our i drill and parade grounds so that our j drill has of late consisted of marches out j in different directions and battle tions in some vacant field as we came to it or the pitching of a pup tent camn some where and a return to camp after a rest of an hour or two General McKee who commands our division since the death of General land is now at Knoxville to see if there is a suitable camp ground there for us and it is reported that the second sion will within a few days start for there The first intentions were that we should march the whole distance about 120 miles but that plan has been discouraged by some of the high officials and it is now probable that we will go by rail if we go at all Major Barker returned to camp today this being his first visit to cainp since his illness and a day or two ago talion Adjutant Melville returned and is now on duty again Everyone was glad to

lough Our pay day last Wednesday has much increased the number of tions for passes to Chattanooga as many of the boys have not yet had a chance to see the sights of the town or take a trip to Lookout Mountain There has also been a large increase in the mail going out of camp each day as nearly every one of the boys has one at home to whom he has a souvenir of some kind A great many of the boys in our com- pany have bought cots and those who have not have built beds so that but few if any sleep on the ground Yesterday Will Kramer shipped Co B's white rabbit mascot to Saudusky by express Booze was a with all B boys but was ex- from camp by order of the colonel for repeatedly violating in the vicinity of the headquarters number 9 of the general orders of a sentinel on post Nearly every one

FRAUD ON THE Shippers Who Har With Not In the OPPOSED TO THE AMERICANS Better Class of Cubans Favor ation to United States MEASUBES Inflammatory Jaw Advise the to Refuse to Recognize ment Between and the United Rumor A Hunt That Soon as American Force Is Weakened Santiago Will Attempt to Capture the City Santiago de Cuba Aug at- of the Cubans toward Americans is one of sullen hostility The better class in Cuba favor the annexation of the island to the United States and a majority of the masses are ready and anxious to work and accept the ter and protection afforded by an American protectorate but they are influenced by a certain class of rabid orators and breeders of sedition and rebellion against anything smacking of law and order This inflammatory class demands and urges recognition of Cuba for the Cubans and spurns all offers or suggestions tending to prosperity un- der an American protectorate and ex- cites popular discontent This is ly the class that pushes itself most into evidence and whose views and opinions are most overheard and published Their advice to the Cubans is to re- all offers of peace or a tion of hostilities and to look an armistice as an agreement between the United States and Spain on their own account and not binding upon the free and Independent state of Cuba liberating army not repudiates pacification but will ignore the tice to the point of continuing to wage and shooting every Spaniard in the field A wild rumor is afloat to the effect that Cuban army will attack Santiago and capture it to the glory of the ban arms as soon as the American garrison is weakened This is directly traceable to the same source The influence exerted by such a body of men against law and order is This hysterical people demands suppression with an iron hand While still in embryo this influence Is ready felt among certain classes who refuse to work or serve the ment until a clear statement of the freedom and independence of their country is made

Deserted Washington Aug to information received by Adjutant eral Corbin arrangements have been practically for the ment of Camp Russell A Alger near Falls Church Va The recent discovery of finding goods i on American fishing vessels not down I on the manifest calls to mind an dent that happened years ago the i truth of which the writer and some j ers as well can vouch The fact that has been continually going j on for years can be illustrated i by the arrival of a fishing schooner at i the mouth of the Kennebec with wines and from St Pierre N F The I skipper gave out that fishing was a failure and the craft was hauled into i a secluded cove and apparently Not so the cargo for the crew 1 proceeded up the river where they succeeded in hiring an old decked i scow Returning at night the cargo 1 was transferred to the scow and i curely hid the deck when suddenly afterward the craft and crew conceived the idea of going up river on an eeling trip The necessary j rels with all other equipments i sary to a successful trip were put aboard and the scow piled high with eel traps sailed away for Gardiner where she arrived later and tied up at Clark's wharf in then Pittston Public curiosity was aroused by the novelty of this new business and numerous visitors watched the men as they placed and pulled their eel pots here and while the captain explained the process and the amount of money there was in the business After a few weeks of this desultory kind of fishing the craft sailed away the crew largely enriched by this perhaps original ner of selling a high grade of liquor to parties in the secret who were all men of distinction and good judges of what they bought frequently in large tities Perhaps it is needless to say that the eels were never shipped but returned to

most of bid her believe A ror it is contended cannot flatter a face that is in its natural is not made-up Even the very best plate glass has a pale green tinge which reflects a color a trifle less clear than the hair also has always a more glossy sheen than the glass shows it is wavy the glass never sows the best of the waves and if it is straight the glass accentuates all the straightness More Important and still better to be remembered and fully treasured no one ever looks at the face so closely or so critically as the owner of it looks at the reflection in the glass Blemishes that are a grief to a girl may pass quite unnoticed by her friends The two or three gray hairs that appear un- fairly soon on the head of a girl who overworks her brain simply have the effect of high lights in a

old times the beauty and fashion of the far south thronged to drink of its sparkling spring and barte in its limpid pool It was then the custom to visit the White and take the wa- ters for the benefit of one's health and complexion and afterwards go to the Old as it was afterwards called for the luxury of its bath Many dyspeptics took the bath before breakfast following it up with a long walk but
