Robert Darling of Elkhart died as tho train pu led into tho station. All were prlvites. Colonel Stndebakcr said: "This is not the fame rejrltmnt I took nway from Indlanr.polls last May. The per sonality l.i the same, but it is mado up ot a different lot of men. They have fever in their very bones; they arc hungry and their strength is wasted. It is all due to tho cesspools in which we lived in the South. When the men left Indianapolis they were strong and showed tholr hardiness. They were all right when wc left Chickamauga park. "Port.

A MILLION IN PHIZES VICTORIES NET FORTUNES TO COMMANDERS. Admiral flu rn.it nn's Hhare ft 40,000, While Iewjr Kecelvrs Only U,n73 The tlatlo and Conditions Under Which the Money Will lis Divided. WAmiixuroN, Sept. . At least one million dollars in prlzo money will bo distributed among American sailors as n result ot the war with Spain. Moro than one-half of this until will bo paid iu uccordance with that section of law providing for the payment of a bounty for persons on board vessels of war sunk in action. The rest will bo turned Into tho tronsury for distribution by the courts which slyill pass upou ves sels of the enemy captured by Ameri can men-of-war. From thu otlieinl repart of Admiral Montojo, commanding the Spanish fleet sunk at Manila, thirj were 1,H7.' persons on board the ships uuder his command. The Spanish fleet wa of inferior force to tho American squad ron, and Jtcnr Admiral Dewey's men will, therefore, only gst 810;) for each person. It is estimated that tho aggregate amount due the Asiatic fleet as u re sult of tho destruction of tho Spanish forces amounts to S1S7,303, which Con gress will be asked to npproprlato dur ing tho coming session. One twen tieth of this sum belongs to ltear Ad miral Dewey, as commander-in-chief, and ho will, therefore, bj 3l,37:i richer than ho was beforo the war. Hear Admiral Sampbon has realized n snug little fortune as a result of the war. -As commander-in-chief of tho North Atlantic lleet ho will get one twentieth of every prize taken iu North Atlantic water.! and oue-twen-tleth of the head money allowed for tho vessels destroyed oft? Santiago and in Cuban ports. It is estimated that ho will finally rocelva about 310,030 us his share of tho prlzs money. In determining the amount of head money duo officers nnd men it will be necessary for tho department to de eldo whether a vessel destroyed was Inferior or superior to her antagonist. If the latter the American ship will be entitled to S20'J for each person on board the enemy's vessel. Of course this will swell tho amount of money duo tho rear admiral. It is estimated that, including the Mercedes, sunk by tho Massachusetts nt tho mouth of the harbor at Santi ago, thoro were 2,403 persons on board the Spanish lleet destroyed by Kear Admiral Sampson's command, which was superior to the enemy and the amount of licau money due the lleet will consequently nggregatc S.MO.UOO. Itesldcs these ships Spanish men-of-war wcro sunk at Maur.iinlllo, Nipo and Other points along the Cuban coast, the destruction of each of which means prize money for tho officers and men participating in tho work. Legal ofilelals of the department will bo required to determine whether merchant vessels carrying guns in their hold, like Santo Domingo, which was sunk by tho Eagle, como within the meaning of the ssctlon providing for the payment of bounties for per sons on board. Tho result of these questions will b; to delay tho adjudi cation of tho amounts due to officers and men interested. PROUD OF "ROUGH RIDERS."

"No one need malco any mistake about tho 'Rough Riders' being n good regiment. They wero good soldiers when they enlisted. Tho men who came from the West had lived tho life that makes good soldiers. They could ride and shoot and know how to take care of themselves in the field. Tho men of the East wcro men of nerve and prldo and mettle that carried them alongside their comrades from tho West. It was in all respects a splendid regiment and officers havo reason to bo proud of their scrvlco in it." MR.

Those who carried the flags struggled to within n few hundred yards of our fighting Hue, while the mounted emirs abso lutely thro vv tholr lives away in bold charges. When tho dervishes withdrew be hind the ridge in front of their camp tho whole force marched in echelon of battalions toward Omdurman. As our troops surmounted the crest adjoining the Nile, tho Soudaneso on our right came in contact with the enemy, who had reformed under cover of a rocky eminenco and had massed boneath tho black standard ot tho khalifa In order to make a supremo effort to retrieve tho fortunes of tho day. A mass, 15,00u strong boro down upon the Soudanese.
