At the beginning of 1898 the National Guard of the State consisted of forty-one companies of infantry and three bat- teries of artillery, aggregating 2,822 officers and men. The State furnished for service 7,421 officers and men. The Brownstown company was mustered into State service De- cember 31, 1897, and the Huntington company on April 21, 1898. By April 1, 1898, it was seen that war was inevitable, and company commanders were ordered to recruit their com- panies to the maximum number of 84 men. The official action by Congress soon followed, as on April 19 the resolutions of intervention were adopted and were approved by President Mckinley April 22. On the following day the President called for 125,000 volunteers to serve two years unless sooner dis- charged, and the formal declaration of war against Spain was passed by Congress and approved by the President April 25. The declaration stated that war had existed since April 21.
It was at 6:15 on the evening of April 25 that Governor Mount received instructions from the War Department to provide four regiments of infantry and two batteries of light artillery from Indiana, and preference was expressed for Na- tional Guard organizations. Governor Mount immediately issued a proclamation and ordered the entire Indiana Na-

tional Guard to report at once to General McKee at the grounds of the Indiana State Board of Agriculture near In- dianapolis.
From every portion of the State demands were received from new companies and from individuals that they be ac- cepted for service, and Indiana alone would have supplied the entire number of men called for. So great was the re- sponse that Governor Mount publicly stated that as the num- ber of those tendering their services was so far in excess of all requirements that he deemed it well to announce that no one should feel under compulsion to respond, and all whose domestic affairs or business matters would be jeopardized, or whose response would entail hardship and suffering, should stand aside with honor and without prejudice.
As soon as the orders were issued by the Governor, all company commanders were notified by telegraph, and at once there was the greatest excitement in every part of the State. The officers had been expecting it, and immediately the mem- bers of the Guard were notified-some by the sounding of the riot call, others by the use of fife and drum corps, some by telephone, and messengers were dispatched for those who lived in the country. The response was prompt and hearty. The armories were surrounded by friends of the members and others who desired to be enrolled. New members were accepted until the maximum number was reached, and many company commanders started with more men than they were entitled to, realizing that many would be rejected on the physical examination.
In nearly every town escort parades were hastily arranged and these were usually tendered by the Grand Army posts and veterans of the civil war. Crowds waited at railroad sta- tions and greeted every company that was speeding towards Indianapolis with hearty and patriotic cheers and with the booming of cannon. From midnight until the evening of the next day, companies were on their way to Indianapolis, and it was 5 o'clock on the morning of April 26, and just at sunrise that the first company, that commanded by Captain Allen, from Frankfort, arrived in Indianapolis and reached the camp. From that hour companies arrived on every train, and as it was impossible to provide tents for all, many were quar- tered in the barns and other buildings on the fair grounds. By evening every company in the State was present and, in honor of the Governor, the camp was named Camp Mount.
Vacancies existed in a number of the regiments, and that in the First Regiment was filled by accepting a company of

students from Vincennes, which was made Company L. The vacancies in the Second Regiment were filled by accepting the company at Frankfort as Company C and the company at Martinsville as Company K. The Plymouth company was assigned to the Third as Company M, and the Fourth was filled by accepting the company from Tipton as Company I, the company from Anderson as Company L and the company from Logansport as Company M. These companies had been organized in anticipation of such action, and, with the excep- tion of the Tipton company, which was accepted April 25, all were accepted April 26.
Then followed a busy season for the officers. Companies demanded that they be accepted, but the quota of the State was filled. Individuals demanded that they be accepted in almost any capacity, while the officers in direct command of the men vied with one another in their efforts to prepare their commands for muster into United States service. Lieutenant W. T. May, Fifteenth Infantry, U. S. A., was on duty with the National Guard by detail, and was appointed mustering offi- cer. The arming and equipping of the regiments, so suddenly raised to a war footing, taxed the resources of the State, while the severe physical examination which each man was compelled to undergo introduced the element of doubt as to who would be accepted for service. These details were at- tended to as rapidly as possible, and it was the Third Infan- try which was first ready for service, and Company H, of Angola, which was first filled. The Second was next, the First was the third and the Fourth was the last. The First Regiment was stripped of arms and equipments in order to complete arming and equipping the others.
Orders were issued regarding the destination of troops and then countermanded, and at different times Mobile and New Orleans were said to have been selected.
In the numbering of the regiments it was determined to begin where the numbering for the civil war ceased, as the same plan was adopted at that time and the numbering of regiments begun where the numbering for the Mexican war ceased. The Third Regiment, Indiana National Guard, thus became the One-hundred-and-fifty-seventh Indiana Volunteer Infantry. It was mustered into the service of the United States on May 10, by Lieutenant May, who was appointed lieutenant-colonel, and the first company from Indiana to enter United States service was F, of South Bend. Five days later the regiment was paid by the State, through Colonel W. T. Durbin, of Governor Mount's staff, who was detailed

by the Governor for that purpose, and who paid all the troops called out. The same day it was paid the regiment moved to Camp George H. Thomas, Chickamauga Park, Georgia.
At this time the companies composing it were: A, of Knox; B, of Ft. Wayne; C. of Goshen; D, of North Manches- ter; E. of Elkhart; F, of South Bend; G, of Ft. Wayne; H, of Angola; I, of Waterloo; K, of Auburn; L, of Ligonier, and M, of Plymouth.
It was on Sunday that the regiment left camp, and as it marched from Camp Mount to the Union Station in Indian- apolis the streets were lined with enthusiastic friends. About 6 o'clock the following Tuesday morning it reached Rossville, Georgia, about six miles from the park, and after marching to the place assigned it went into camp. The routine of camp life followed until orders were issued, May 30, that the regi- ment should go to Port Tampa City, Florida, and the order was received with delight, as it was believed this meant to go to Cuba at once. At 9 o'clock on the morning of June 1 camp was struck and the regiment marched to Ringgold, Georgia, a distance of about nine miles, and arrived there at 1:30 in the afternoon. It was 650 miles from there to Port Tampa City, and that place was reached shortly after noon on June 3. The regiment was assigned to the Third Brigade, a provisional division of the Fourth Army Corps.
Then followed a period of anxious waiting and hopes for orders to embark for Cuba. Rumors of all kinds were heard, which resulted in disappointment in nearly every instance. Horses and camp equipage were at one time loaded on trans- ports, but finally the possibility of seeing active service was removed by the destruction of the Spanish fleet and the battle of Santiago, and the hearts of the boys were broken by orders on July 22 to break camp and proceed to Fernandina, Florida. A change from Port Tampa City to almost any place was welcomed as a relief, but the members of the regiment wanted the change to be to Cuba. One week after the order was issued the regiment broke camp and arrived at Fernan- dina about the middle of the afternoon of July 30 and went into camp about a mile from the station. The regiment was temporarily attached to the Third Brigade, Third Division, Fourth Army Corps.
For one month the dreary monotony of camp life was un- dergone, but about noon on August 30 camp was broken and the regiment marched to the station to take the train for home. During the morning of September 2 the troops reached Camp Mount, and eight days later were furloughed for thirty

days. Preparations for muster out were actively carried on, and October 10 the regiment again assembled and remained at Camp Mount until November 1, when it was mustered out of service.
The regiment lost nineteen men by death from disease and accident. Of this number five were members of Com- pany B, of Ft. Wayne. The first death was that of Private Frederick E. Kinney, whose home was in Lavalle, Wisconsin, and who died August 15 at Fernandina, Florida. Private William A. Snyder, whose home was in Harlan, Indiana, was the second, and his death was August 29, and also at Fernan- dina. Private Clifton M. Lovell, whose home was at La- grange, died at Fernandina the following day. Private La- fayette B. Perkins, whose home was at Ft. Wayne, was acci- dentally killed by a train while at his home, on September 13.
The last death was that of Second Lieutenant W. W. Kerr, of Ft. Wayne. Lieutenant Kerr entered the company for the first time January 1, 1887, as a private and was promoted corporal. He was mustered out September 9, 1891. When war was declared he was elected second lieutenant and com- missioned April 21, 1898. He served with his company in that capacity until October 8, when he died at Petersburg, Florida.
Company C, of Goshen, lost four members during its term of service. The first death was that of First Lieutenant Charles Slade, of Goshen. He had enlisted in Company C, as private, September 14, 1892, and was promoted first lieu- tenant October 29, 1895. He died at Port Tampa, July 20.
Private Charles E. Perry, whose home was at Huntington, was the second, and died August 22, while en route home. Two days later Private James Boomershine, of Millersburg, one of the recruits of the company, died at Fernandina. Pri- vate Charles F. Simon, of Goshen, died at Indianapolis, where he had been taken, on September 19.
Company D, of Manchester, lost two by death. The first was Private Macy Overly, of Wabash, who died July 29, while on the hospital train en route for Ft. Thomas, Kentucky. The second was Private Christian P. Haupert, of Urbana, who died at Fernandina, August 27.
Company E, of Elkhart, lost two members. Sergeant Ar- thur Jones, of Elkhart, died August 19 at Fernandina, Flor- ida. Corporal Robert Darling, of Elkhart, died September 1 at Indianapolis.

Company H. of Angola, lost one member. Private War- ren S. Luse, whose home was at Niles, Ohio, and who was one of the recruits, died September 3 while at his home on a fur- lough.
