 A movement maybe made tomorrow or Saturday The objective point will be either Jacksonville or St. Augustine
 Gen. Merritt will go to the fort tomorrow and inspect the troops The munitions of war have been greatly increased during the last few days and many of the officers are arranging their private affairs to leave, as they confidently believe they will be called upon to do so.
 Gen. Merritt was seen tonight and asked if his arrival in the city was an indica- ton of immediate action on the part of the regiment.
 "No," said he, "it is a part of my duty to inspect each post dn my division every year. and have come here merely as a part of my routine work. It is not a war; like move at all Atlanta is a very pleas ant place, and I think I shall enjoy being here 8 while.'
 Increase in Artillery Force
 Washington, Feb. A.-The increase of the artillery force of the country by two regi- ments as provided for in the senate bill was agreed on by subcommittee of the house committee on military affairs today, and will be reported to the full committee tomorrow without the change of word.
 The matter was the subject of an hours discussion, in which Messrs. Hull, Marsh, Griffin and Cox took part. The provisions of the bill were taken up separately, and 1t was the unanimous opinion that 1t was better to put through the measure as it stands rather than make any changes that might be dictated in the line of further strengthening the force.
 The members of the sub committee also agreed that the artillery force is insuffi- cienf and to continue the coast defenses on the existing plans would be notably in- efficient without a martial augmentation in the force to man them. Some of the members go further than this and think that much larger increases should be im- mediately provided, though conceding the present limit in order to insure action.

cruiser Minneapolis was successfully float ed out of the dry dock at the League Island navy yard at high tide this after noon. The floating of the cruiser was wit messed by nearly 1000 people. The Min neapolis had been in dry dock since last December, partly to avoid the Ice in the river and also to have necessary repairs made to her bottom. Notwithstanding all reports to the contrary, there Is no unu- sual activity at the yard.
 Besides the Minneapolis, there are now at League Island the cruiser Columbia, the monitor Miantonomah and the ram Ka- tahdin, all out of commission at present. There are also~eight old monitors at the yard, all of them relics of the civil war. but which could be fitted up quickly in case they were needed.
 Left on Hurry Order
 New Haven, Conn.,, Feb A.-In response to orders from the secretary of the navy, p. G. Buclland, who commands the naval battalion of Connecticut, left for Wash ington today. The order received is as follows:
 .'Commander Beckland, of the Wyan- dotte, will report to the navy department at Washington on Friday"
 Although nothing definite as to the im- port of MT. Buckland's summons to Wash ington is known, it is thought he is to receive instructions about getting his men ready for service at short notice if neces- sity arses.
 / Preparation at Fort Thomas
 Cincinnati, Feb. 24.-Under instructions from Washington, Col. Cochran, com mandant at Fort Thomas, Ky, today is- sued orders bringing the men on rifle range at Culbertson, Ky, back to the fort. New bayonets that can also be used for trenching tools were issued to all the troops. The men are daily undergoing fatigue drill, and expect to start for Key West or Charleston, s. C., as reported
 The first regiment of the Ohio National Guard, located here, is filling up with re- cruits. Several unauthorized recruiting stations for Volunteers have been opened in this city and their enrolment would more than fill a regiment.

War-Like Preparations
 Show No Abaterf7er1t

Atlanta, Ga., Feb. A.-Activlty has never been so great at Fort McPherson as at the present time The arrival of Gen. Merritt has increased the work around the fort to have everything in readiness to move the regiment to any point that may be desig- mated, within few hours. ss.
 After consultation today between Col. Cook, commandant of the fort, and rail- road officials, at which time Col. Cook was assured that the men could be transported to Florida within a night It is said Col. Cook told the railroad men to have cars in the yards for use at any hour.
 It is thought tonight that the outlook is more warlike than ever before. Every pre- caution is being used to keep down excit- ing talk and any reports to the effect that the regiment is about to move is denied by the officers at the forts. This silence is considered omnous, as the preparations plainly signify that it is not an ordinary

Friends of dead should understand that we are in the tropics. Chaplain Chadwick charged with all matt ters relative to the dead. His conduct Is beyond praise Don't know what reports are being printed, but the intensely active representatives of the press here have been very considerate of me and my posi> tion.
 Recommendations Approved Secretary Long immediately answered Captain Sigsbee, approving all his recom- mendations.
 Captain Sigsbee's statement that the div- CTS down aft seven days and forward four days gives the navy department informa- tion of the time that the divers had been in the vicinity of "the zone of the explo- sion," as he termed it. The zone was con- fined to the forward part of the ship. and while the divers have been down aft for the last week, their work forward in tho vicinity of the large magazine has been in progress only four days, which presumably began on Monday and concluded today. The statement in the Sigsbee dispatch that "the friends of the dead should know that we are in the tropics" Is understood at the department to refer to the urgent pleas of the relatives of the dead that 
 States. These appeals continue to be re- ceived here, and while they excite the deepest sympathy of the officials, no hope can be held out that the dead can be brought back. There are circumstances which, if they could be known, would end uch appeals and show that the department has not been wanting in desire to bring the remains back to this country. These circumstances have been withheld mainly through a desire to save friends and rela- lives from the pain which would be caused by full disclosure to the effect of the explosion. The press representatives have given in part the accounts of terrible muti> Iation of the bodies, but 1t is feared 1t has not been fully realized by friends and relaA tives

SECRETARY LONG'S
 MOUTH CLOSED
Yet War-Like Preparations Are
 Being Made.

Washington, Feb. A.-Rumors of start ling discoveries in the wreck of the Maine were less frequent, but there were enough of them still afoat today to warrant Sec retary Long in making this statement to the newspaper men as he left his office:
 Summing up the situation, I should say that the navy department knows today nothing more about the cause of the dis aster than 1t did five minutes after the re- ceipt of the first dispatch from Captain Sigsbee.'
 Until the conclusion of the investigation of the court of inquiry at Havana the principal business of the navy department in connection with the Maine will be with the conduct of the wrecking officers.
 The steamer Merritt and wrecking lighter Sharpe has sailed for Havana from New York, and the tug Underwater with the chief will leave New York Saturday for the same place.
 The only exact information received by the navy department from Havana during the day was conveyed in Captain Sigs- bees telegram, as follows

Comedy is not confined to the stage.
A Second avenue belle who graduated at
an eastern seminary has former school
chum visiting her. It goes for the say
ing that they are carried back to the
days of their comradeship and having
lots of fun, says the Detroit Free Press.
The other evening after dinner the
visitor threw on the cape and hat of her
hostess just to run to the nearest store
and procure supply of bright ribbon
she wanted to complete her wardrobe
for q party that night. AS she neared
the house on her return the dusk was
deepening and she was startled at the
approach of gent1emanly looking
young man who lifted his hat and said,
pleadingly: "Can't you walk for just
five minutes, little one?'
She sprang past him with a scream
and rushed for the front door, from
which emerged on the run the father
and brother of the chum. The;youth in
front took to- his heels and there was a
stern chase covering several blocks.
The old gentleman examined the tracks
in the snow the next morning and
vowed that the william" must have hai
wings, as he only touched the pave
ments at street crossings.
Both the laug hing girls knew by this
time that the fleeing youth was the resi-
dent girls favored beau, who was not
in the good graces of the father and had
to carry on catch-as-can courtship.
That hat and that cape misled him.
