Greely, chief signal officer, ts can- ing the war situation with a view to certaining what organizations in the sig- 1 corps can best be mustered out of the service. He is confronted by a difficult prob- lem, as he can scarcely spare any of his men, although many of them are anxious, now that the war is over, to leave the xer- vice. In this country, Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines the services of the sig- nal corps are needed now as seri they were during actual hostilities. United States all of the camps have equipped with telegraphic and telepl flities, and the changes that are now ing made constantly in the location of camps add to the work of the signa! corps. 2 i sun sets, In the LIST OF THE BOYS District Noldiers Who Are at Mon- tauk Point and Their Condition. MEETINGS OF PARENTS AND SONS Difficulty in Finding Men Who Are in Hospital. FIRST BATTALION SICK Spectal From a Staff Correspcndent. CAMP WIKOFF, MONTAUK, N. Y., August 30, 1898. Since arriving here The Stars cor- respondent has been deluged with pri- vate telegrams inquiring about the arrival of members of the District of Columbia reg- iment. Whenever it has been possible to reply to these telegrams answer's have been sent. But it has been impossible to answer all inquiries. It has been especially impossible to learn the condition of the sick men in the general hospital, where about 14) of the District men are now being cared for. These men are scattered in all parts of the general hospital, the records of which are not kept in such a way that men can be located. The only way to find any one there is to pass trough the wards, inquiring: the names of men from tent to tent, and when it is con- sidered that this hospital contains a couple of thousand men the difficulty of finding any one is realized. A large corps of clerks are now ergaged in rearranging the rec- ords of the hospital, so that men can be located; but this work progresses slowly and it will be some time before a better condition will prevail there.

Scenes are enacted her2 that will live leng in the memory of any one who has witnessed them. The stage has never pre- sented such pictur2s as are to be observed constantly about the hospitals, the deten- tion camp or the station where those long separated meet for the first time. Auditor James T. Petty of the District of Columbia arrived here this afternoon to see his son, a corporal in the District regi- ment. Mr. Petty went to General Wheeler’s headquarters to get permission to see his son, who was in the detention camp and under the strict surveillance of the quaran- tine laws. He got a pass which permitted him to call for his son at the entrance to the camp, where he was to be allowed to see the young man at a distance of six feet, in ord2r to make sure he might not get any infection should the returning soldier carry Cuban contagion in his clothing. Mr. Petty did not read his pass very carefully, and when he climbed to the big hawser that is stretched about the entrance of the dsten- tion camp he showed it to a colored guard, who eyed it a whole minute. The auditor thought he was to go in the camp, and he proceed=d to do so, the guard looking on as if the visitor could be depended upon to do what the pass allowed him. Mr. Petty soon found his son, whom he was to keep away from a distance of six feet, but he rushed forward. threw his arms about th> boy and in violation of every quarantine law Kissed him. It was a happy meeting. and if any officer saw that the law was being violated he had not the heart to interfere. The father of Privat» Smith‘of Company B called at the entrance to the detention camp this evening to see his son, who was in the Ist Battalion, and who will not be allowed to communicate with the outer world until next Friday morning. Mr. Smith was told by the army officer in charge that he might see his son at a distance of six eet. The father was greatly pleased at this prospect, being assured that his boy was well by an officer of th> regiment who was passing at the time. The hoy was called, and the officer stood there silently as the father and son met. “I am sorry,” said the officer, “but you rust not approach your boy nearer than six feot.” It is difficult to describe that uniting. Fa- ther and son looked at each other a mo- ment without speaking. The officer looked at them, and, turning his back, walked to his tent; but the guard stood there and the visitor compliad with the regulations. “D—n it!" sald the officer as he entered iis tent and hammered his fist on his desk. “If any one wants my job he can have it. I would a thousand times rather fight Span- iards than stand between fathers, mothers and their sons as I have to do here.” One of the most pathetic scenes that has occurred here took place today, when a mother came to the general hospital to find her son, who had been taken there. Several hours’ search threw no light upon the whereabouts of the boy, though it was well known he had been carried in the hospital. This experience is not unusual just now, the trouble being that no rec- ord is kept showing the location of sol- diers in the hospital wards. The mother had become fatigued by the anxiety at- terding her long search. She was offered a seat by one of the nurses, and as she rested she heard a conversation between two doctors. “He died and was buried without being identified,” she heard one of them remark. There was a reply, but she. did not hear it. Her head drooped as she wondered whether such had been the fate of her boy. A nurse had stood beside her, and hearing the doctor's remarks knew what affected the visitor. She placed her arm about the woman and stood there silently. But a moment had passed, when a con- valescent, with hollow and pale cheeks, came by and turned to look at the woman in distress. As he did so she glanced up. ‘There was an instant recognition, despite the changed appearance of the young sol- dier. It was the son for whom she had searched. The Men at Montauk.

CHAS. E. KERN. ——_—_ THE DRIFTING SANDS. Interesting Experiments in the West by Prof. Ser! ner. Professor F. Lamson-Scribner, the agros- toiogist of the Agricultural Department, has completed a six weeks’ tour of investi- getion on the Pacific coast and returned here. The investigation looked to the ex- tension of grass experimental work to the other side of the Rocky mountains, which have heretofore been the western limit in this service, and also to the implanting of sand-binding plants where the sand dunes sweep over the land and, partially engult- ing telegraph poles and fruit trees, cause great damage. The result of the investigation is a rec- ommerdation fcr extending the former work and for making practical demonstra- tions of the feasibility of the sand-binding operations. One grass experiment station under the direct operation of the depart- ment is to be established, probably near Walla Walla, Washington. At Yakima, Washington, the Northern Pacific road maintains a station for grass experiments, which the road has offered to-turn over to this government, Professor Scribner will recommend its acceptance, ang besides the station under direct government manage- ment, the experimental work of volunteers in the field of grasses and forage plants will be generally encouraged. It is the expectation that the results of the extension of the service will be a res- toration, at least in part, of the Pacific coast ranges to their former condition. ‘The drifting sands along the rivers and coast were especially watched and the people interested will be shown by practi- cal demonstration how to prevent the sands blowing over the country. At one point there was a fence fifteen feet high, to keep the sands off the railroad tracks and telegraph poles, and the work is much needed in Oregon and Washington. Professor Scribner, in his report, will rec- ommend the planting of seaside Iime-grass, a wild species of sedge and beach grass, now used at some points, to effect this pur- pose. - ges i CONDENSED LOCALS. “Guilty,” pleaded a colored boy named William Coleman this morning, when ar- raigned in the Police Court on a charge of riding his bicycle on the sidewalk on Vir- ginia avenue. ‘ “Two dollars fine,” the judge said to him, and the boy went down for six days. D. G. Mount, living at 911 lith street rortheast, while riding a bicycle, collided with a colored wheelman near Sherman avenue and Quincy street last night. He was thrown from his bicycle and injured about ra head. The colored man was not injured, For the larceny of a bicycle, valued at $34, from Florence A. Sullivan, Martin Campbell and Thormas Varner, both col- ored, were today each sent to jail for three ‘months by Judge Mills. The accused are now serving time in jail for a similar. of- fense.
