The Navy Uepartmeat Will Ok-rrve Health Precaisttlona. Secretary Patton. of the board of health, said last night -that no official notification had been received from the Mississippi board of health of the raising of the quarantine at eome of the coast towns. There wa nothing of any importance transpiring yesterday. At the first announcement that troop were ready to be moved to Cuba, Dr.

Edmond Souchon, president of the board of health, wrote, to Surgeon General and Dr. Sternberg of tbe army and Secretary of War Alger asking Information as to the precautions that had been taken to preven tbe introduction of yellow fever by troops or troop ships returning from Cuba and stating that the Louisiana estate board of health would insist upon absolute compliance with the quarantine regulations. Yeoterday he received a letter. In addition to advice heretofore communicated, which was as follows: Navy Department, Washington, June 10. Sir I' have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the tb Inst, requesting that orders be issued by tola department directing that the transportation of refugees, baggage, clothing, merchandise or other material capable of conveying intectton be forbidden from pwno yeuow rever and that the quarantine cegalatloiM relatlnz to the dUinfection of vessels and th detention of persona who may have bees expoeed to yellow fevec be atrictly complied with, and in reply have to inform yon that order have this day been tamed to tbe commander-in-chief and -commanders of naTai stations to comply with the suggestions contained In your Very respectfully, CHARLES H.

There la again a jnlirtaryl camp a the Fair grounds. Yesterday Colonel of the Ninth aeglttient of United States Volunteers, moved iwta fwq companies ef the colored They assembled at their recruiting office, oa Perdldo street, eari; jiay an marched out. to the camp, headed by Colonel Crane and -Captains Simpson and Goode. Of course, none of them had any posmg -appearance, bat Colonel Crane say that as" aoon as he get them uafc formed and equipped they 'will rapidly be-, come first-clasa: soldiers. and heiia.

that they- wlH like tigers- when it come to racing an enemy. They, left the city at 0 o'cloc'i e-i ar- rived at the camp, aoon after 10, and by twelve had the cajnpinade aad thlag In ood shape Tbay hare-abont lltty tenta for the men 3 and of fleera. ColoneK Crane remained some time in amp and then returned to tb'clty leaving the senior captain. Captain James. Cook i Simpson, in eharge the camp.

The tenta were 4- ejn a caat- AfliT AT -till ft Grounds, where tbe Twenty-third Sg- meat, ana axterwaras ia? imi -had their and Company cwaa placed right np near the tence at the southeastern curve, extending east -and west, and Company was to the north a few feet. The tents' -were well pitched and the men dag ditches around them to keep out water, and were in some Instances making Doors with lomber broom from the old Second Regiment camp. The two fcltchens were put at the east end, near where the kitchen of the other regiment were, and eTerytblng that waa needed for furnishing food waa at-Jiand. There was a big tent full of bread ana meat and bacon and. vegetables, and two cooks were busy making dishe that smeiled ood to the hungry men.

The cook of Company A I Ferdinand Grant, iMaxwelL Both are said to be aa good aa anroooy cooiu tu. There -is no trouble about water, for the filter which A. Aschaffenberg Co. pnt in some time ago, about the end of the other encampment, is working finely, 1 annnlloil fa A ploftf crystal. The filter i-underneath the bi tank at the Mystery street gate, and aw -aw dn i 19 CaUBOiev OX 6uppvulA tw Ji.ivlKnrnyi Kr- evavitv fmm -the TJinlr 1VUO VDllivuicu jsjv' Mr.

The water la as clear as the distilled water which was supplied in limited quantities to the "volunteers, and it has tbe advantage of being unlimited for any ordinary number of men. There are a number of hydrant near the track, all around, and the soldiers have only a -comparatively short distance to carry the water, but if there were many troop sent here, extension of the pipes could be made so as to carry the water right-to the 'center of the' camp, and the cooks, might have hydrants at their kitchens. Mr. Aschaffenberg aid that Mr. Perrln, of the Orleans Railroad, who ordered the filter put In.

deserved great credit for it, and that If there was any need of ik and the city or the government, or whoever was the proper party, desired It done, they could not only put In another filter, but also a number of shower baths. The latter could be built over the ditches and little houses put over them. That would cost something like $256, and would give good bathing facilities. Of course, if more than ten or twelve baths were wanted, it would cost more, bur hot very much, at most. The water at the Fair ground is so easily filtered that it has been suggested that with no greater outlay than that at the camp, all the pure water needed for supplying troopships going to Cuba could bo quickly obtained, in fact, It could be filtered right at tbe wharf and loaded right into the tank without any extra handling, and they say that the Missis-si ppl rifer water is the best In the world for sea voyage.

But the Ninth Regiment Is all right at the camp, anyway, end the men are happy. They have good tents, good food, good water, and the honor of serving their country. Colonel Crane has named the camp after the adjutant general of the United States Camp Cor bin. Yeaterday afternoon Captain Simpson, in charge, said that everything was in good There are only ucb guard as are indispensable, as the meo are not equipped with guns and are Ignorant almost entirety of military tactic. They will be drilled aa fat as possible and gotteo into condition.

In a few rtaye another company will be here. Captain Simpaon lined the member of bis company up for dinner yesterday, and after they bad been furnished their knives and forks and spoons and cups, be told them about the care' that a soldier should take of his outfit, and said that the cupa were soldier's most valued article of equipment, except, of course, hi gun. They are used for water and coffee, and are alwaya seeded, so they must be taken care of. The meo appreciated til, and one of them wa seen trying to put hi cup in his vest pocket. Cook Maxwell, of Company said that everything-was fine.

Being asked If the water was good, he replied that the water, from the hydrants waa as clear as crystal and as good as anybody needed. Ao Inspection of "the faucet showed that the cook waa right. Captain- Goode'a company was also lined up and given Its outfit for eattng, and both companies turned in aod ate a hearty meai, and felt that they bad struck hotel fare at last. They bad fresh beef, and stew, and potatoes, and bread, and coffee, and -bacon, and every man had all that he wanted." Lieutenant Febiger i In charge of the commiesary department, and the service is" excellent- Lieutenant Webster, of the United States la expected here to muster the men, and as soon as he comes the companies already and any others vbleh may hare gotten ready, will he mastered, od Colonel Crane expects to oe able to equip them a fast a they are muatered. The colored men at camp are taken from the average elees of negro citlsen.

Some of them are. large am soldierly-looking, and some are young and look more or le ignorant of such things, but tbe officer say that they are already learning fast and tbat they hope ia few day to get them into rathe, good shape. The men all seem, obedient and the discipline of the camp excellent. vVr-i-- -yi. There were appointment 'announced from- "Waehlngton yeaterday.

EMBARK TROOPS HERE. The Exehaagea SeeklsiK the Ear ther CoTernaaemt. In accordance vwlthi, the editorial suggestion contained in yesterday'a Picayune, the Board of Trade sent out the following telegram to each of the Louisiana delegation in conere: f. -Please present to he auChorltiea the superior advantage of New Orleans for the embarkation of troop destined for West Indian In addition to the Mississippi, we have six trunk lines permeating all directions of tbe country, with their terminals, embracing all facilities for the expeditious loading of heavy ordnance horse, etc- One hundred or more ehip can load at one time. Please urge adoption of this route.

8. LOCKE BREATJX. President Board of Trade. The othea exchanges will doobtles take similar action. New Orleans i the great storehouse from which the government draws iu sinews of war.

It is therefore quite the proper thing for the government to con. cent rare ts troops Whether thla will be done or not I something Colonel Scully wlH not commit himself Scully ha fuc-nlehed the government with more ships than any other single officer in the army. Indeed, nine-tenth of all the transport vessels now held by- charter In the government employ were secured in New Orleans by Colonel Scully. And yet he Is not- through. Yesterday a reporter walking abont the river front found Colonel Scully inspecting the American.

The American is the largest ship in port Just now, and one of the largeet which come here. Her capacity la nearly--4000 men. The presumption is that -Colonel tSeully will charter the ship. The Bentala whs alo Inspected yesterday, and will probably be chartered. But Colonel Sully is like all army officers, disinclined to talk about the plan of the war department.

Taere I every- reason to believe that Oo'tnel Scully, In securing these additional fbips, 1 acting under order from tbe war department, which will yet make thla city tbe point of embarkation for the troop going to Cuba. The railroad people state that there 1 a difference of. abont' 200 mile bet wee Chrckamaugs, and Tampa and this city, the difference being In favor of New Orleans. This same -railroad man said that troops coeld be loaded and pnt out to ea 'through this port by the time they could be landed in Tamp; The difference In ravor of New Orleans aa far as time 1 concerned ia five hour. If the American is chartered, a doubtless will be, the 'government win, have enlisted Into Its service the first real large ship yet- seeured.

The American is a magnincant vessel. It belong lo the West Indian Une. 'and was one' of the pioneer large abip began to That this The Monarch followed, and since that time various ship, ha v.

The American la aa constructed that It can accommodate In three long row of bunker entire army of men nearly, and ita mechanical construction is said to he he beat that can be purchased.

The ship at present Is looking for a cargo of cotton for Liverpool, hut a soon as chartered will, of coarse, discontinue that work. The Mexican, Wanderer, New Orleans and other fine 'boats are mentioned as eila'ble for jraneport service, -and there wlU soon be fleet enough here to take a way. an army, irrespective of the ooaen or so ahlpa from New Orleans already in government eervlcev-V i T.

(Special the Picayune.) Pensacola. Junb 17. Shortly after 5 o'clock thla morning the special train having on board Jth detail of the Louisiana Naval Reserves reached the city, and at once the men were transferred to the dummy line and taken to the navy yard. All necessary arrangement for their arrival had been completed long ago, and a substantial breakfast awaited the sailor. The Journey over from New Orlcan was uneventful, but pleasant.

The towns along the route were faat asleep, but the Jolly crew cheered the deserted waiting-rooms a the train moved rapidly on toward thhi seaport town. When the-train pulled into the city limit the resident soon knew of their arrival. Commander Wadhams, who was in charge of the train, issued order to have the car run down on the belt road to the beach. i The dummy line follow: the seashore to the yard and Fort Barrancas, and this morning the latter train was backed to the belt road. It wa nearly 8 o'clock when the men reached their new and they were delighted to find a steaming breakfast awaiting them.

Commander on transferring hi men to the officers here, complimented the detail, upon their very gentlemanly conduct. He said that they were among the best men he had ever commanded, and ha knew they would perform duty In a manner of which Louisiana might well feel proud. i The men knew rery well ney had no right to cheer, hut they violated this custom of their service and gave three hearty cheer for too commandant and Old Lonlslafia.
