OFFICERS OF NEGRO TROOPS.
SOME OF THE LIEUTENANCIES TO
GO TO CoLORED MEN.

The Social Line Will Be Drawn and
They VIII Not Mess With the
White Omcers-AIl the Regimental
officers and Captains to BE White
Decentralization of Tropical Ter
ritOry Expected to Develop the
Negro Soldier 80 Same Plane As
Those In British Army.
Washington, June H.-The social prob
lem has forged TO the front in the matter
of differing those immune regiments 10 be
made up of negro soldiers.
Under the arrangements of the war de-
partment the Seventh, Eighth, Ninth and
Tenth Regiments of the United States
volunteer immunee are to be made up Of
negroes.
To-day the first negro officer was APP
pointed.
From the first there has been a contro-
versy as to whether the negro troops
should be given negro officers, and it Las
been decided, in some cases at least, to
give them the lieutenants.
The first of these negro lieutenants was
examined to-day. He is a District of
Columbia negro; and in the course of tire
examination the question was put to him
point blank whether ne would expect to
mess with the white officers. He declared
he would not, after having been given
distinctly to understand the army was
not to be used as a place in which to ex-
plot his ideas of social equality if he had
any.
It has been determined that the captains
and all the regimental officers are to be
white men.
1t is the idea of the war department that
the acquisition of tropical territory will
develop the negro soldiers to the same
plane as those which do valuable police
duty in the colonies of Great Britain, in
which the officers, company and regimen
tai, are white men.
The negro politicians are making the
play to get their own officers and some
Southern governors have urged that they
should have their officers. Gov. Tyler Of
Virginia is one of these. He has secured
from the President the assurance that
negro troops will not be brigaded with
white troops, and believes that if the
negro troops are brigaded together, there
will be no trouble in letting them have
their own officers. Army officials general
!y oppose this plan. however.

SURE TO SEND US SOLDIERS.
CAMP ALGER AT FALLS CHURCH TO
BE DISCONTINUED.

The Troops Now There to Be Sent
sOuth-Secretary Alger to Decide
on the New Camping Places To-
day or To-mOrrOw-Sites Near the
Sen Coast Favored and Savannah
and SummerviIIe, $. c., FavOrably
Spoken OF.
washington, June 14-Camp Alger is to
be discontinued and several smaller en-
campments are to be established at avail
able points along the South Atlantic coast.
Secretary Alger is to make the selec-
tons tomorrow or next day, based upon
the report of the board of officers of which
Gen. Greenleaf is president. The board
returned to Washington last night and
several of the members were at the de-
partment to-day in conference with Secre-
tary Alger, Adjt. Gen. Corbin and Maj.
Gen. Graham, commanding Camp Alger.
The board visited Columbia and Sum-
merville, S. c., Augusta. Columbus, sa-
vannah and Brunswick, Ga, and Fernan-
dina, Jacksonville and Miami, Fla. These
places we're inspected as to the number
of troops that could be accommodated,
transportation facilities, health and water
supply. The facts gathered will be sub
rnitted tomorrow to Secretary Alger, who
will decide upon the points for the new
camps. Early action is looked for.
The condition Of affairs at Camp Alger
IS said to be far from satisfactory, and the
detachment of troops from that camp, it
is understood, will begin as soon as posi-
BILE.
The members of the board state that
they will make no recommendations in
their report, but simply present The result
of their inspection OF the various sites
and leave the selection TO Secretary Alger.
Ii is understood that Columbus and Au-
gusta, Ga, are practically eliminated from
the competition because the water supply
at these Two points IS not adequate.
1t is evident from the guarded comment
of the members OF the board that they
favor the sites near the seacoast, and
some very pleasant things are said of
Summervile and Savannah by the in
specIors.
Tonight the indications point to the Sc
lection of Summerville, Savannah, Fer
nandna and Jacksonville.
How many troops to be assigned to each
encampment is a question to be determined
after the secretary has passed upon the
report Of The board.
Further than the fact that several bri-
gades win be sent South, no details of the
movement could be learned to-day
Adjt. Gen. Corbin said that he knew
nothing of rumored movement, but con-
cluded by saying: Il would not tell if I
did know"
Gen. Graham refused TO discuss the Sub
ject He said: You had better ask the
secretary"
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-06-15

in a telegram from Senator Bacon that
Adjt Gen. Corbin had said the call would
be ISSUED last Saturday. Acting upon this,
the Governor fully expected to receive the
notification when he went to the capitol
yesterday, but 1t was not In his mail. After
waiting for the afternoon mail and then
the Washington mail this morning, he de-
termined to wire Congressman Adamson.
The result of this message was a reply
from Congressman Adamson saying the
department had Informed him that the
call would certainly be issued to-day or
tomorrow. Gov. Atkinson, therefore, full
" expects to be ready with his proclama-
ton for the third regiment before the
week Is out.
There has been some suspicion that the
call for the Georgia regiment had been
held back by the department in order that
the recruiting of the immune regiment
by Col. Ray, which has been in progress
for several weeks. might not be interfer-
ed with, as 1t was apprehended that with
the organization of two regiments going
on Col Ray would be at a disadvantage
on account of the preference of the Geor-
gia boys to enlist In state commands.
From an inside source 1t Is learned that
Col. Ray Is having a good deal of trouble
in recruiting his command, which is now
modelling at Macon. There rs considera-
BILE friction among men who expected to
be commissioned captains in the regi-
ments.
According to the story obtained from
one OF these gentlemen, Col. Ray has al
lowed more men to go ahead gathering re-
cruits with the belief that they would be
made captains, than he has places of that
grade to distribute. Consequently since
this has become apparent considerable
dissatisfaction has arisen.
AS far as Is known here she only man
yet TO receive his commission as captain
in the immune regiment is Edward Will
son of Atlanta, who went into camp at
Mecon with less than the fun number Of
men required. In this city at least one
company that was formed for the purpose
of going into Col. Rays regiment has
backed out and is waiting for the Second
call for volunteers to go in with the state
regiment, and 1t was feared, IL is believed.
by the war department that If the call
should be issued before Col. Ray gets his
fun quota, he would have still harder
time gathering men in this state.
Speculation continues as to who will be
colonel or the rev regiment, with Col.
John s. Gambler OF this city the favorate.
He is not yet settled upon by the Gov
ernor however, and In the final deal 1t Is
still possible that he will not land
Lieut. Col. Jordan F. Brooks of Col
Brown regiment, now al Tampa, has been
suggested to the Governor as the most
competent man In the service for the po-
sitIon, and It would not surprise many IL
he should be promoted and some one else
be named 10 take his place in the Tampa
regiment.
Capt Irwin, acting adjutant general, is
also being urged for lieutenant colonel, in
stead OF major, in competition with Col.
Thomson of the Third Regiment, and
Col. Varnedoe of Valdosta Is one of the
first on the Governors list of eligibles.

TRYING TIMES IN CHINA.
Court Intrigucs and Sectional Differ

Court IntrlEues and Sectional Differ
ences Bring a Crisis.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.
Shanghai, May 20-These are trying
times in China. The imperial government
is passing through a crisis. The intrigues
and cross-intrigues of the court, together
with the constant friction between the
Manchur and the Chinese in the COUNCILS,
are complicating matters
Prince Kung, the imperial adviser, - at
the point of death 1t can be stated upon
the highest authority that at his death a
reorganiza ton of the council of state will
be made.
The famous viceroy, Chang Chi Kung, is
now in Shapghai He will shortly so 10
Pekin at the request of the Emperor. IT
is presumed that at the death of Prince
Kung, Viceroy Chang viii be made che of
the immediate councillors of the EN-
Peror.
Though Chang Chi Kung is an elderly
man, he ranks with Ii Hung Chang in
progressive ideas. 1t will be a new era for
China if Niceroy Chang does enter on the
duties of the grand council chamber. for
then he and Ii Hung Chang will be able
to outvote the third member, who is an
ultra conservaiive.
The world will probably have a fine
chance 10 learn whether these two great
leaders of western ideas in China win sink
out of sight their personal differences and
work together for the reformation ana
consolidation of the empire.
The Emperor is fully alive to the crisis
which is now on. In an imperial procla-
nation now being sent to the governors,
the Emperor frankly bemoans the pres
ent great troubles Of the empire" and
summons his subjects to invest in the
bonds of the national loan in order that
ne may be relieved in the midst of these
international complications.
On May Is the extraordinary
official announcement was made
that Prince Kung, who was
previously reported to have expired
on May 2, was still alive. 1t was said
that the Prince had lapsed into uncon-
seriousness and that the Chinese doctors
in attendance had mistakngly pronounced
him to be dead. II was added that the
Prince had since awakened, but that his
condition was critical. On May 81 it was
definitely announced that Prince Kung
was dead and the Emperor issued proc
lamation ordering the Chinese court to go
into mourning for a stated time.

REFORM CLUBS IN CHINA.
New Order Forming Full of Hatred
For Everything Foreign.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
Shanghai, May 2O.-After the China-Ja-
pan war several of the reform clubs were
projected by influential Chinese looking to-
ward the renovation of Chinese politics.
One of these societies was gathering great
power when 1t overshot the mark and was
summarily annihiiated by the throne.
AT the present date an order of progress
i've Chinese is forming throughout the
nation.
The correspondent has reliable informa
ton that the organization has the patron
age of the most prominent men in the
New China: The hopeful features about
this patriotic association" is that its car
dinal principle is the patriotism of the
empire.
Patriotism has been almost defunct for
years and this is an attempt to arouse
the people.
The reactionary feature of the move
ment is it's hatred of all things foreign.
II was launched by the 10000 Literau
assembled recently at Pekin for the exc
cution of the doctors degree. There are
thirty articles ana twenty
five bylaws for the organ
ization and the preamble is as follows
This patriotic club is formed for the de-
Tense of the empire in view of the fact
that our tGTIllOIy 10 QdAly S4lCcu away the
powers of the government daily circum-
scribed and the people more and more op,

They are to protect the territory the
people and the religion" Each local club
is to become the center of a system Of
preaching.

methods of the missionaries in spreading
Christianity 1t is stipulated that the Lit
craft at each point shall speak from texts,
relating to The preservation of the state,
the religion. the people and the race"
