Atlantic port south of Norfolk In addition to 1400 men she carries 1000 head of stock the wagon train of the di- vision and a vast quantity of supplies One important announcement gained from authoritative sources before the de- parture of the transports is that the ex- will sail directly for Porto Rico This disposes of the report that the in- vaders sent from the United States would be concentrated at some point in the invasion took place It gives color on the other hand to the report that Gen Miles will precede this expedition to Porto Rico and select its landing place For hours

both regiments joined their respective comrades and clubs and other weapons were brought in to help out matters The North Carolina sentry guards reached over with rifles and were soon met by Wisconsin guards with their guns and had it not been for the Second Virginia boys charging in between the now intensely angry soldiers some one would have undoubtedly been seriously wounded or killed The feeling between the North Carolina and Second Illinois regiments over the shooting of was very bitter and last night the same feeling existed between the North Carolina and Wisconsin men The latter regiment occupies a position be- tween the Illinois and Wisconsin troops making the situation unpleasant in the ex- treme New York July daylight three of the fleet of United States transports which
