ON TO THE COAST.
Troops at Chfckamauga Ordered to
Tampa.


CHICKAMAUGA PARK, Ga, April
28.-Two companies Of the Ninth Color
ED cavalry, which arrived in Chatta-
nooga late this afternoon, were stopped
after having started to Chickamauga
and switched into the Western and At
lantic yards. Orders are said to have
been received to have the troops pro-
ceed as rapidly as possible to Tampa,
Fla, to which point troops from Mobile
have also been ordered and they will
leave here before morning
It is currently reported that the COM
panies Of the Ninth regiment, now in
camp here, will be shipped at once to
Tampa, as well as the Twenty fourth
infantry, colored. Officers of the Ninth
have hidden good bye to their wives
and are making every preparation for
departure.
The movement of troops to Tampa is
believed to embrace not only the color
ed troops, but all the artillery stationed
here as well.
The shipment Of the Ninth cavalry,
following the sudden departure today OF
two batteries Of artillery for Tampa.
has produced a fever of excitement
among the soldiers.
Chickamauga park is now a recruit
ing camp. The war department orders
to fill every regiment in camp up to
its maximum strength received by Gen.
Brooke today. will, as far as possible,
be carried into effect at once, and ad-
jutants of every infantry and cavalry
| regiment and artillery battalion will bs
appointed as recruiting officers.
Judging from the number of applica-
tions already received it is believed that
the different regiments at this point
will soon be placed on a war footing.
Especially is this true of the colored
regiments. The presence of these able
warriors has created the greatest ex-
citement among the colored people of
Chattanooga and the surrounding coun-
try, and every day the commanding Of
ficers have been besieged by men anx-
touS to enter.
When the regiments are filled out
nearly $4,000 troops will be encamped
at Chickamauga.
Late tonight 1t became known that
all of the Ninth cavalry, the Twenty
fourth infantry and the entire eight
batteries of artillery now centered at
Chfckamauga will leave for the South
as soon as they can be loaded on to the
cars which are in readiness for them.
BY tomorrow night it is thought all
the trains will be on their way to Tam
pa.
the Ninth cavalry, with the two COM
panies of that regiment which arrived
from Utah this afternoon, sounded the
Assembly and the few troopers who
had been given permission to leave the
cars hurried along the streets to the
railroad yards.
News of the ordering of the troops
South drew a tremendous crowd around
the depot and railroad yards, in spite
of the late hour, and the soldiers were
cheered again and again as the train
pulled out.

public opinion is now favorable to the

1.-THE China Mail says, the proclama-
ton will go far to ALLEVIATE the last
vestiges Of sympathy for Spaniards,'
and the Daily Press says: English
sympathy is naturally on the side Of
America
A dispatch from Manila says the
Spanish squadron, which has taken up
a position several miles from Manila,
in Subig bay, is still awaiting the ar
rival Of the United States squadron
under the command of Rear Admiral
Dewey. The American fleet must pass
the bay on it's way to Manila. The
first naval battle will probably be
fought at this point.
Subig bay is north Of Manila, and
offers natural advantages for the con-
cealment Of the hostile fleet, unless Ad-
miral Dewey shall receive some init
nation Of Montjo's doings, the Ameri-
cans are threatened with sudden at
tack. Montjo is reckless, and the re-
port that he has fled from Dewey's
fleet is probably a ruse to conceal his
real purpose.
According to a dispatch from Singa-
pore to the Daily Mail, the French
steamer Saigon and the Spanish steam
er Espana have arrived there from
Manila, both crowded with Spanish
refugees from the Philippines.

A SEARCH FOR SANTA CLAUS.

A bitter night--a sGualid street
A basement bleak and bare.
A hungry child Wit. bleeding feet
Alone sat waiting there
All day amid the surging throne.
She'd wandered far and near
All day had sung a feeble song
That none had paused to hear.
But as she sang she caught the name
OF Santa Claus, and how
On Christmas night he often came
To hungry children now.
And so she waited in the dark
For Santa Claus to come
Till in her breast the feeble spark
OF hope grew faint and numb.
She thought because she had no light
He failed to bring her share.
And crept at last into the night
To lead the good saint there.
And Christmas morning came, and To-!
Her dead face smiled, because
Amid whirling drift. of snow
Her little weary soul | know
Had found its Santa Claus.
