MOVING THE TROOPS

NEW YORK, June 21.-A special to the
Times from Washington says:
From behind an appearance of unusual ex-
terror quiet at the War Department, GER
tain evidences of the preparations for large
ana momentous events which are known TO
De- on loot have made their way into the
public cognizance. Notable among these
indications of the way the war wind is
blowing, was the announcement that the
volunteers encamped at Mobile, on the Ala
bama gulf coast, have been ordered to
Miami, on the Atlantic Coast of Florida.
There are six of these regiments, the First
and Second Texas, First and Second Ala
bama and First and Second Louisiana, all
infantry, and all. from the fact of their
coming from the lower tier of Southern
States, are regarded as peculiarly adapted
for service in the West Indies In the hot
season.
Miami is the southernmost town
in Florida. being situated at the terminus
Of the East Coast Railway, far down in
the neighborhood OF the Everglades. The
