He was ia Camp Al- yer, and was in the celebrated forced march of eight mi at the end of which there were not enough men left to march, All the others had falien by the wayside. Sergeant Owheene is Dutchman, and was born in the old ountry, being 32 years old. He was for five years a regular in the and bis home was originally in Chicago, A few years ago he joined a party of eighteen expert gunpers at Chicago for Cuba, and when they ar- rived there, expecting to join an army of 5,000, they found only 500. Th were for several months in General Castillo’s command, but he soon re- turned to this country and located at Vincennes, Ind., where he was at the breaking out of the war. He joined the volunteers and went into Camp Alger. Tu the few months he was there, he dwindled from a man of 260 pounds to one of 210, He says be suffering has been awful, but as been somewhat exagger- ated. Ile was in Col. Barnett’s com- mand, and says the sensational sto- cies about his treatment of men were overdrawn, but that things were bad ugh, nevertheless, Sergeant Owheene used to think a Licken thief was about the meanest of petty miscreants, Now he has haoged his mind. The treatment the iers bave received, he says, have made thieves of many of them. They were forced to steal or starve. Ile himself has become so proficient confiscation of fowls, that it would be unsafe for one to show bis head if the sergeant was right huo- and had bis ramrod handy. One night when they were on camp, the guards shut their eyes and per- witted the soldiers to kill eight or more head of fine Jersey catile on a man’s farm on which they were amped. They couldn't help it, for they were hungry Ihe soldiers often talked of mutiny, but there were not enough men with the adequate amount of nerve to un- lerteke it. They often talked it among themselves, but Chis 18 as far as it goes. The officers watch them, and when one wants furlongh, he is questioned, and if it develops that he ever complained about anything, he is demed it These conditions may not have ex- isted in all the military camps, but they have in parts of Camp Alger, at The sergeant was a regular long enough to get used to hardships, and to know what to expect asa soldier, but he says he never went what he has had to endure went into the volunteer a Holland- army through since he camp, Although they expect to be mus- tered out st any time, they are now made to work hard, or drill, four and and half hours a day, in the hot sun, and with many of the men too weak and ill to hardly get about, The officer is an interesting talker, and his statements bear the imprint of truth.

I used to run it there, and one night anold farmer fell into the hands of the Philistines, as it were, and was enticed into a poker game in @ saloon on the levee. ‘Of course he was io the hands of sharpers, and lost dollar after dollar, All the time the pump at the water works going, and sounded like a dog barking. ‘‘Atter the victim had been there for an hour or more, be suddenly stopped and said: ‘Looky hyar, I,ll be durned et I play erouther card ontil I find out whut thet gol durned dorg has treed!’ '’ BEAT THE BANK.
