Fire destroyed the barns and outbuild-
 ings at the County home at Vernon Mon
 day morning. The home narrowly es- caped destruction, the building being saved only by great exertions by persons living In that vicinity. The barn was discovered to be on fire about II o'clock
 The fire started, 1t Is thought, in hay that had been recently placed in the barn and which had become heated. W. w. Willis Of Vernon Center telegraphed to Rock vile and asked that fire engine be sent down. Before the steamer Fitton had reached Market street word was sent by telephone by Superintendent Talcott that 1t would do no good to send the steamer, as there was no water except what was In the well; also that In all probability the fire was under control and the home would be saved. The barns and out houses were completely destroyed, but the home was little damaged. The loss will probably not exceed $1 500. There Is only small water supply at the home, and this fire shows the necessity of wa ter tower to be used in case of fire. The barn and contents were insured for $9OO.

HOBSON on THE WRECKS.

Washington. u. c., October 29.-Naval
Constructor Hobson arrived in this city
to-day from Philadelphia. This after
noon he appeared before the board of
naval bureau chiefs. for the purpose
of explaining the condition of the Spanish
ships wrecked off Santiago, and the pro-
gress and prospects Of the efforts which
he is making for their recovery. 1t
is said that over "a million dollars will be
REQUIRED to continue the operations and
the Secretary Of the Navy desires to
know what chance there is Of success
before authorizing the expenditure of SO
large an amount OF money.
Lieutenant IIobson was of the opinion
that it was useless to continue the service
of the wrecking company any longer and
that results did not warrant the $500 per
day it is receiving.
Constructor HoLson said that in his
opinion the Colon and the Nizcaya could
! be raised and brought to dry docks al
| New York or Norfolk. at Il cost Of $500,
600 for one, and 800, 600 for the other
and possibly both could be brought il
for 100000 each. Mr.. Hobson wanted
to be placed at the head of the wreckine
company which he should organize and
be authorized to eXpend from SSOO.OOl
to $500. 600 on the two vessels. lie
said the hull of the NiZcaya was intact
and he proposes to build Il Golfer dam
around her and bring her to the surface
after making repairs necessary to float
her.
Mr.. HobsCn also gave the bureau
chiefs some information concerning the
Reina Mercedes and the Merrimac. The
former could be easily raised. he be

had only been scuttled. The MerrimaC
could be raised, and he said she must
be removed from the mouth of the har-
Dor in some way. The board will have
another meeting Monday. and possibly
make some recommendations to tic
Secretary regarding the wrecks off San

order was issued only after very care
tuI consideration of the report of the

of two points to begin with, namely.
Ncuvitas and Puerto Principe, but the
occupation will be extended as rapidly
as the Spanish evacuation proceeds. The
order directs the movement to begin
lit once, but according to the calculations
eff the Department it will scarcely be
feasible to make the first landing be-
fore November 22nd. Headquarters OF

NEGRO TROOPS MUTINY
SKID VIRGINIA REFUSE TO OBEY WHITE
OFFICERS.
Finally Persuaded to Forward their Complaints
10 the Governor Of Virginia. They
Promise Obedience Meanwhile.

Camp Poland. Knoxville, Tenn. Noy.
2-The camp of the Sixth Virginia col
ored regiment was this morning the
scene of Il mutiny among the men of
the command. The trouble was caused
by the men in several companies refus-
ing to obey orders issued by the nine
white officers who were recently assign
ed to the regiment by Governor Tyler,
of Virginia. The regiment was called
for drill at the usual hour this morning,
and the white officers assumed com
mand. To their surprise the negroes re-
fused to execute orders, and when press
ed for an explanation it was announced
that the presence of white officers was
the cause. The officers We're inclined
to the opinion hat it was Il mOmentary
complaint, and accordingly sent their
companies out under colored l~ieutenants.
AT police formation the same open dis
regard for orders from the white officers
was apparent, and it was then deter
mined to report the matter to higher au-
thorities. Colonel Croxton, command
ing the regiment, reported it to Colonel
Kuert. division commander. who in turn
visited the camp with Major General
Bates, who arrived in the camp fer the
first time a few moments before the
mutiny begun.
1t was evident that serious
trouble was i'll order if the riotous
negroes were not quoted, and on that
account Colonel Kuert at once ordered
the Thirty-tirst Michigan and Sixth
Ohio regiments to the scene. These
regiments were under their arms, but
the Ohio boys We're turned back before
reaching the camp. Colonies kuert and
CroXton and also Major Johnson, Il sol
orcd officer of the regiment addressed
the men. They explained that such ac-
ton was III direct violation of the mill
tary laws and was punishable by death.
They assured the men that Il complaint,
if such they felt that they rightfully
had. should be forwarded to the Cover
nor Of Virginia. and they were assured
that such Il complaint sent through the
proper %channelS would receive attention
from all officers concerned. Colonel
CroXton stated very emphatIcally that
the result Of this revolt would mean q
rigid enforcement of the discipline COW
erinc such cases. He demanded obedi-
encc. and said he had the power to
enforce the demand. The Michigan
regiment which had appeared upon the
scene and which was armed for battle
was ordered back 10 us camp. anu INC
negroes agreed to send their complaints
through the military channels and III
the meantime to obey their white Off
GERS.
1t is not believed here that the white
officers will be removed because 1t is
Il fact that the negro officers who pre-
coded them resigned on account of IN
compctencv. Tho Virginia camp IS
uuiet tonight. and no further trouble
is anticipated at least for the present.
