 Be Four Days Later. THE MAIN REASON THEREFOR Is That the Railroads Cannct Furnish Trans portation on the First Named Date.
 Other Military News.
THE MAIN REASON THEREFOR

- Montgomery, June S.-tSpecial.) )-iov- ernor Oates and Adjt.-Gen. Harvey E. Jones were closeted in the governors private office at the capital for an hour op more late this afternoon and the out come of their consultation was the post ponement of the brigade encampment of Alabama state troops from the 20th in- stant to the 24th. A telephone message from Col. Harvey E. Jones to the Ago Herald bureau at o'clock this evening
 contained the following precise state
 ment. therefore the troops may know that the announcement of the postpone ment is authentic, and can govern them selves accordingly: Tt being impossible
 for the railroads to furnish requisite
 transportation on that date the big
 brigade eneampment of Alabama state
 troops is changed from the goth of June
 to the 24th.
 Several excursions are billed to go to
 and from Mobile on the goth and 1t was
 impossible for the Louisville and Nash
 vile and other roads to furnish cars to
 the state in so large number besides,
 the railroad people are building d spur
 or side track from the main line Of the
 Louisville and Nashville to the encamp-
 ment grounds for the transportation of
 men, baggage and camp fixtures, and.
 it will not be finished by the first date. It will be a great convenience and IS
 alone worth waiting for.
 The adjutant-general has applied to the federal government for four United
 States army officers of high rank to be detailed as instructors at the camp and also for company of regulars to give exhibition drills, etc. No doubt his re- quest will be granted by the war de- pertinent and the regulars presence
 will be a great feature of the encamp-
 ment and make it ten times more inter- estinG to our soldiers
 Immdiately after the breaking up of the white encampment the colored com panies of the state Capital City Guards of Montgomery and the Gilmer Rifles of Mobiie) will be ordered into camp as q battalion by the governor under the charge of Col, Harvey F. Jones at the | same grounds at Mobile.
 These two companies are patriotic organizations. and justly deserve the recognition that they are receiving at l the hands of the military authorities. The battalion will be formed by the elec- -tion by the commissioned officers of a l major, and the governor proposes to l make them an independent military | command they having heretofore been l attached to the First and Second regi- ments.
 | All other necessary arrangements are 1 made, and the biggest military display l ever held in Alabama will come off June l 24 with great eclat

IT IS WELL EQUIPPED.
The Latest Expedition to Cuba Carries Two Cannon and Torpedo Machine--ha-
 jority Young Men.

Jacksonville, Fla, June S.-A cable gram to the Times-Union from Key West. Fla, says:
 The Times-U Union correspondent is in- formed that an expedition left here on Thursday about midday composed of 2s0 men, commanded by Roloff and Sanchez. It Is not positively known where the eN- petition will land The supposition is that it will land at Nuvitas and join Gomez in an attack upon Puerto Prin- cipe.
 The expedition consists of 2S6 white and four colored men, and is well equipped, having 500 rifles, two cannons of the latest make and a torpedo ma chine and ammunition to last six months, and also four well posted guides, one for each section of the country. It is also ae- companied by a prominent Cuban physi- clan and an assistant. A sanitary corps of fourteen, wall supplied with drugs, also accompanies the expedition.
 The majority are young men, all from leading families of the island of Cuba. The revolutionists expect news of the landing by carrier pigeons, with which the expedition is supplied.
 Jacksonville, Fla, June S.A special to the Times-Union fran Fernandinal Fla, says: Nothing further has been seen of the man-of-war which was sight ed off Cumberland sound yesterday even ing by Captain Woodruff She was steaming south at the time. and no doubt ran down into southern Florida waters. That she was watching Fer nandina and the east coast of Florida cannot be doubted. There was a story afioat here this morning to the effect that the cruiser had sent a launch into Cumberland sound. which had been stopped at the quarantine station. There is no probability that any Spanish vessel or it's boats would make any such at tempt, knowing how the Infanta Isabella was treated at Tampa. The Cubans have gone, and N. B. Borden is still ab- sent.
 His yacht was seen last night in Cum berland sound. The customs officers say Borden's yacht has not. cleared for any port, and the statement that he is away from Fernandina for Sunday trip is no doubt true. Matters here are quiet tonight. with practically no new devel- ODments.

HE SHOT THE VIPER.
THE INJURED HUSBAND ONCE MORE
He Returns Unexpectedly, But Loaded-A Very Thin Story on the Part of
 the Woman.

Jacksonville, Fla, June S.--P. M w. Baldwin about 4 o'clock this morning shot and fatally wounded Andrew You man. whom he found in bed with Mrs. Baldwin. He then shot at his wife, but missed her. Baldwin concluded not to kill his wife, but forced her to call in the neighbors, not even allowing her to dress. so that they might see the cir cumstances under which he had shot Youman.
 Baldwin had been out of town and had returned unexpectedly, finding his wife and Youman In fiagrante delictu, as sta ted above. Youman came here from

PRESSURE ON THE PORTE.
THE POWERS EVIDENTLY MEAN BUSINESS
British Strongholds. in the East Are Being Re- ced-Demonstraiion at Constan-
 tnople is Probable

London. June S.-The gravity of the position in the far east is shown by the orders that have been issued by the war office. A large increase will be made in the stores of war munitions at Malta, Alden and in Egypt The small garrison on the island of Berim. in the Red sea, will be reinforced by attachments of ar tllery and sappers. Quick-fring guns will be placed in the Notifications and the fort works will be enlarged The island will be made an important naval base.
 Communications proceed between Lon don, St. Petersburg and Paris as to what combined action shall be taken if the porte maintains it's refusal to concede the demands made by Great Britain, Russia and France relative to Armenia. If the porte persists in its refusal to grant the demands made by the three powers 1t has been definitely arranged to represent these demands as an ultima tum, and to set a fixed date for their acceptance or rejection Ii is understood that Great Britain proposes in the event of the re- jectton of the demand that the combined fleets of the three powers make demon-l stration at Constantinople but France and Russia prefer Is a first resort a con- ference of the European powers.
 The Speaker asserts that harmony be- tween the three powers as far as dlplo- macy pressure is concerned is complete. Should France and Russia decline to go further, the appearance of a British fleet at Constantinople may become a neces- sity, if only to insure safety against a rising of the Turks. The paper adds that public opinion in Great Britain will compel the government to go on alone It would be easy to occupy first Myt- lene and SamoS and to make them and Cyprus a.base of operations, though the eventual result might break up the Turk ish empire.
 Prime Minister Rosebery's enforced ab- sence from headquarters and the leav- ing of the Earl of Kimberlys weak hand to guide affairs is excused by the liberals on the ground that the cabinet has agreed upon definite policy to meet all contin- geneies.
 It Is known that the queen influences the cabinet by explicit advice, amount ing to instructions, concerning the atti- tude of the porte. Her majesty's inter- est in the question was such that she caused the full text of the sultan's re- ply to the demands of the three powers to be telegraphed to her as soon as it was received by Sir Philip Currie, the British ambassador at Constantinople It is believed also that she in several personal letters to the czar. communi- cated the necessity of concerted action on the question. The queen has become a fervent Turkophobe. She has been ex- cited over the stories of the Armenian atrocities

Folgston. Ga., where his parents still live. He was a young man and had been greatly befriended by Baldwin, almost making his home at the latter's house and being treated as one of the family. Mrs Baldwin is much younger than her husband. and in spite of the circum- stances denies that she and Youman were intimate She says Youman was in her room to keep off burglars
 Baldwin is about 90 years old and very popular in Jacksonville. He came here from Cleveland, O., where his father, who is said to be q millionaire, still lives. Besides being wealthy. the Baldwins are prominently connected. the slayer of Youman being nephew of EX-Senator Payne of Ohio. P. NJ. w. Baldwin was a gallant federal soldier and prominent in Grand Army of the Republic circles. He surrendered, but was released on a bond of $1000, Banker John C. Lengle and Grand Army of the Republic Commander McMurry becoming sureties Youman was removed to the hospital and is eX- pected to die before morning. Mrs Bald win is bitter against her husband for shooting Youman.

Pure Food.

Butterine is much abused product As a matter of fact it is pure, sweet wholesome, and infinitely preferable to ordinary country butter. A special correspondent of this paper recently visited the factory owned and operated by the Armour Packing Co.,, of Kansas City, manufacturers of the widely ad- vertised Silver Churn Butterine five story building is perfectly fitted for the scientific preparation of this food product. Everything is spotlessly clean; all appliances are the latest and most improved, and every precaution is taken to secure the production of an absolutely pure and wholesome food. All processes are under the direction of a foreign chemist who has made the skilIful combination of pure sweet fags the study of his life.
 Prof. Charles Chandler, of New York City, says: "The product is palatable and wholesome and l regard it as a most valuable article of food"
 Prof. J. s. w. Arnold, Medical De- partment, University Of New York, says: "A blessing for the poor, and in every way a perfectly pure, wholesome and palatable article of food"

A CITIZENS MEETING
Called for to Consult on the Most Vital Ques-
 ton Now Before the People.

A citizens meeting is called to meet at the Paul Hayne school building Monday evening, the 10th instant, at S:30 D. m. The importance of the questions to be considered Is of so much interest to the citizens of Birmingham it is hoped there will be a large attendance. I am sure there are comparatively few persons who have sufficiently informed themselves to fully comprehend the sweeping and far reaching effect of the law enacted at the last session of the general assembly, under which the new system of pub lie improvements is being inaugurated.
 While l have not seen the act entitled an act to increase the powers of the may or and board of aldermen of the city of Birmingham" I am told it gives unlim- ited power to the city authorities. I un- derstood Mayor VandIoose to say at our, meeting at Erswells hall that he was the author of the bill enacted into law, and that it was iron clad so I suppose we need not attack the measure from a legal standpoint, but I feel sure no set of sane men will be so rash as to disre- gard the interests and wishes of three fourths of their constituency. Hence the great importance of a free and full ex- pression from all the people.
 The construction of the sewers which are agitating the minds of so many now is, as Mayor VanHoose stated at our last meeting, only the beginning of very ex- tensive improvements to be inaugurated all over the city. The city has no money and her people have but little, and would not have that little if their debts were paid. These vast improvements are go- ing to cost large sums of money. This Southside system of sewerage, we are told will cost us s110,000. We have no estimate of the cost of the sewer and tributaries to be built on Ninth avenue,

PARNELL'S POLITICAL CORRESPONDENCE.
The Executors of His Estate Have Decided to
 Destroy It.

London. June S,-The executors of the will of the late Charles Stewart Parnell have decided to destroy his political cor respondence. This decision has called forth vehement protests from a num- Der of friends of the deceased statesman against the wiping out of valuable his torical records. The letters cover the time from the rising of Fenianism to the home rule agitation and include reports of interviews and communications with MT. Gladstone Lord Randolph Churchill, the Earl of Carnavon and Archbishops Walsh and Crol1e. These friends main tain that the letters would be certain to reveal many state secrets which would justify the executors in sealing them up for fifty years, but they hold they have no right to destroy them. MT. Parnell's Estate promises to pay 10 shillings on the pound.

 A conference of the leaders of the democratic party in Ohio was held here today, at which Senator Brice, Ex- Governor Campbell and Congressman Sorg were present.
