GRANT'S SHAM BATTLE Difficult Maneuvers Executed by the Treops at Chickamauga Health cf the Camp Continues Good and Everything 1s Moving Along Smoothly, CHICKAMAUGA NATIONAL MILI- TARY PARK, Tenn., June 11.—The event of today at Chickamauga was the execu- tion of Gen. Fred Grant’s battle problem. In this problem were a number of new and difficult maneuvers, and it was watched with great interest by thousands of officers and men. The new maneuvers were all carried out according to Gen. Grant's ex- cellently conceived plan, and the fact was demonstrated that many of them would be very useful in actual conflict. The battle began at 7 o'clock and was concluded ‘be- fore noon. There were two columns in the formation. The first, consisting of the lst Vermont, 3d Tennessee and 8th New York regiments, was commanded by Col. Clark of Vermont, and was formed along the Viniard road. The seeond column, consisting of the 14th New York, 24 Nebraska and ist Mtssouri, under command+of Col. Charles J. Bills of Nebraska, formed on the Thedford road, and up the first road till the two columns met, when the struggle was begun in earn- est. When this was finished Gen. Grant threw the two columns together to ward oft @ supposed attack from sume direction of which he was supposed to have knowledge in advance. . Gen. Grant Pleased. General Grant was highly pleased with the way in which the maneuvers were ex- ecuted, as were also General Brooke and all the other officers present. Governor Hastings and staff of Pennsylvania went to the park at an early hour and have been spending the day witnessing the sham bat- tle, inspecting the Pennsylvania troops and driving over the field. They will remain several days. The Ist Kentucky Infantry, 1,300 officers and men, under Col. John B. Castleman, arrived at the park this morning. The regiment is comparatively well armed, uni- formed and equipped and is the best or- ganized which has yet come from Ken- tucky. The number of Kentucky troops row on the field is 3,000. The 2a South Carolina Infantry is sched- uled to arrive this evening. The employes in the quartermaster’s de- partment under Captain Zalinski were paid yesterday and today. The amount paid was about $7,000. Uniforms for the 1st Mississippi are being distributed today. Guns for this regiment are expected in a few days. The work of uniforming the 2d Kentucky was completed today. Surgeons began vaccin- ating the men of this regiment this morn- ing. Uniforms are being issued to the 1st South Carolina Regiment today. The 2d Nebraska is undergoing vaccination to- day. All regimental camps are now well sup- pled with drinking water. The pipe lines frcm Crawfish Springs have been com- pleted and the water is on. Driveways Cut to Pieces. The fine driveways through the park are being literally cut to pieces by thousands of wagons, and must be given atténtion at ence. The park commissioners will prob- ably put a large force at work on the roads Guring the next few days. A number of recruiting officers left for heme states this morning. Under the late recruiting order the full complement for a cempany of infantry is 106 men; for a trcop of cavalry, 100 men; for a battery of light artillery, 173 men; for a battery of heavy artillery, 200 men. The health of the camp continues to be good and the authorities are encouraged to believe that there will be very little serious sickness among the men. ‘The quartermasters’ and commissary de- partments have settled down to routine work, and the receipt of provisions are about as they have been during the past few days, There are still a large number of regiments partially or totally lacking uni- forms. —.___. “WE WERE UNPREPARED.” Secretary Alger on Our Condition on the Declaration of War. Secretary Alger has made a statement in the New York Herald in response to re- cent criticisms against the army, in which he says: “When war was declared we were un- prepared, yet obstacles almost insurmount- able have been overcome. I do not believe history records an instance where so much has been done in a military campaign of tkis magnitude in the brief time that has elapsed since hostilities began. I challenge the records on this point. . “The men having the most to say against our work in organizing the army are fartherest from the truth, elther through @ willful disregard of facts or through ig- nerance. We are willing to be judged by what we have accomplished in preparing our armies for war. “Tt is evident that the people have been misinformed as to what we are doing. To enlighten them I have directed the heads of the departments and bureaus to furnish me with their reports of what has been done up to date. When the people have learned the actual condition of affairs and realize what an enormous task we have performed in the brief time allowed us by the circumstances of war, they will be en- tirely satisfied. Tie critics will be answer- ed and the enemies of our army will have no ground to stand on. I don’t believe there was ever a nation on earth that at- tempted to embark in a war of such mag- nitude while so utterly unprovided with everything necessary for a campaign. Now we have plenty of arms, ammunition of all kinds, and plenty of smokeless powder, too, with the contracts for uniforms all let and partly filled.” ————————~+_____ Carrall Institute Excursion.

KEY WEST, Fia., “Stige 5.—Mr. C. D. Ajzvado, who was for twelve years a resi- dent of San Juan, Porto Rico, is thoroughly in favor of the United States taking posses- sion of Porto Rico at once. He sald to a representative of the Assaciated Press to- day: “A United State§ expedition can land wher3 it pleases in Porto Rico, except in the neighborhood of San Juan. The best harbor in Porto Rico i Guanica, west of Ponce and south of San Juan, from which latter place it is distant elghteen hours’ car- riage ride. The roads between Guanica and San Juan, as, inde2d, everywhere in Porto Rico, are excellent, and troops with sup- plies could be moved abpyt the island read- ily, but I would not advise exposing men to the tropical sun on long marches, this in spite of the fact that the climate of Porto Rico is th2 healthiest in the world. The rainy season does not begin until August and is of short duration. Yellow fever is almost unknown. Hot Sun Would Wilt Our Men. “Our men, however, are not us3d to the hot weather, and would wilt under it. San Juan is where the troops should be land2d. The American flest should finish the work that Admiral Sampson started last month and batter down Morro and Fort San Car- los. The forts are not at all impregnable; we can destroy them at-some expense, but, judging from the previous bombardment, without loss of lif. Then the troops can be landed to defeat the Spanish soldiers and take possession of the city. The occupation of San Juan would end the war in Porto Rico, for the Spaniards could not make a stand anywhere else. : “I do not underestimate the strength of the forts. New battertes have been con- structed, new and modern guns mounted and the force Of 8,000 Spanish regular sol- iers has been doubled. The 3,000 volun- teers are valueless. There are garrisons at Ponce, Mayaguez and other towns, but the great mass of troops ts at San Juan. Harbor Can Be Countermined. “after the fleet has silenced the forts the harbor may be countermined and clear- ed of obstructions, transports taken in and troops landed. As the inhabitants of Porto Rico are thoroughly disaffected, American troops would not be required to subdue the country. The people generally would welcome our soldiers. Porto Rico has not been ravaged by war. Horses, cattle and all food supplies are abundant, and, al- though there is no railroad system, the first-class carriage reads;:render communi- cation with all parts:of-the island easy. It would be a pity to destroySan Juan, which is a fine town, withanicgly paved streets wider than those of;old; Havana. Steps were recently taken to.bring in good water by an aqueduct system. «5 “Our soldiers could sebtain good water in all parts of the isldnd,‘and there is no swamp land, as in ‘Gul. The cheapest, quickest and most hugaané way of conquer- ing Porto Rico is bythe. use of the big guns of our fleet. Ai land siege of San Juan would, be slow ahd etpensive, both in the matter of men afd miéney.” ae AFFAIRS 18, GEORGETOWN. rte Program of Church Services—Am Ar- ‘-restGenemal News. ; Children’s day, willbe observed tomor- rcw in the Dumbarton Ayenue M.

No. 529 King Street, Bell Telephone No. 106 ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 11, 1898. ‘The trial: by court-martial of David Dow- ney, Patrick Hayes and William Hayes, the young men of Company F (the Alex- andfia Light Infantry), 34 Regiment, Vir- ginia Volunteers, who, it ts alleged, Tues- day morning last, attacked a guard, taking his gun away from him, and also attacked the officer of the day, and who were ar- rested and placed in the guard tent, did not take place yesterday afternoon, as was Intended. Why the trial did not take place is net known, as the officers decline to talk of the case, evidently desiring to keep the matter as quiet as possible. It was learned from good authority, however, that the men would be given a hearing late this afternoon. The members of the company are very much incensed over the fact that they are not allowed a short leave of absence to visit their homes in this city, especially as the members of other regiments are daily given passes to visit Washington and other points of interest. Exactly where the trouble is no one seems able to say. A first Heutenant of one of the Virginia companies stated to a Star reporter yester- day afternoon that he was of the opinion the reason why the men were not granted leave was because they were liable to move to the front at any moment. Private Wm. M. King of Company F has been assigned as clerk to the regimental quartermaster. The Ladies’ Relief Association of the 3d Regiment, Virginia Volunteers, which was organized in this city a few days ago, made its first shipment of supplies to the boys at Camp Alger today. Armory Hall was opened this morning to receive donations, and the citizens and merchants generously responded to the appeal made to them. Mr. Louis Shuman wil} tomorrow give the members of Company F a treat in the shape of ice cream. Boy Drowned. Henry, the eight-year-old son of Mr. George West of West End, was drowned in Cameron run yesterday afternoon shortly after 3 o'clock. The little boy went to the run, about a mil from his home, by hini- self and went in bathing. A tramp who was also bathing in the run, which was not very deep, saw the boy when he went into the run, but in a few minutes he missed bim. He waited a few minutes and not again sezing the boy, but noticing his clothes on the bank, he proceeded to make @ search, and in a short while found the dead body. The tramp hastened to Cameron mills, nearby, and notified persons ther? of the ad affair. A telephone message was sent to this city and Sergt. Smith responded. In the meantime, however, a large cruwd had gather2d and it was not long before the body was identified. The remains were re- ved to the hom: of his parents in West End. Death of John Rogers. Mr. John T. Rogers, an old and respected citizen, died at his home in Fairfax county Thursday. He was the father of Mr. Will- jam Rogers of this city. Mr. Rogers was a sufferer from heart trouble and dropsy. He was in the seventy-eighth year of his age. Child Painfully Burned. “The lttle four-year-old child of Mr. R. L. Myers was quite painfully burned about his face, body and hands yesterday by his clothing catching fire. The little boy was playing with a box of matches in front of the home of his parents, on North Pitt street. Mrs. Myers, the mother of the child, who was looking out of a window, saw her boy in flames and hastened to his relief. Mr. J. R. Cowling, who keeps a blacksmith shop in the vicintty, seized the child and tore the burning clothing from it. Dr. McGuire was summoned and rendered medical aid. The little one is doing as well as could be expected. General and Personal Notes. Capt.

The native land being at war with a foreign foe makes {t all the more appropriate and befitting that “Old Glory” shall be flung to the breeze from every housetop in the city, and that every American citizen in the ‘nation’s capital should in some man- ner show his loyalty, a popular way being in the display of bis colors on the lapel of the coat. tween the Unpited States and Spain, how- ever, every day in Washington has been flag day. public buildings have been decorated with bunting, while the flag has continuously ficated over them. Private residences throughout the city have also been deco- rated since the beginning of the war, while the people have resorted to all sorts of emblems on dresses and coats to show their sympathy and loyalty, so that it is difficult to perceive just how the display of colors may be augmented or enhanced. throughout fhe city have been in progress for some time by the various patriotic s0- eieties and organizations, with the result that exercises will be held in a large num- ber of the churches and halls, for each a program of patriotic music, songs, recita- trons and addresses having been arranged.
