CBuCKAMAuGA CAMP NOTES.
No Removals Expected Until An
other Army is 10 Go to Cuba.

CHICKAMAUGA NATIONAL PARK,
CHATTANOOGA, June 1O.-The general
impression prevails at General Brooke's
headquarters that there will be no re-
movals from this place to points South
until the government is ready to send
another army directly TO Cuba. The rea-
son for this belief, given by Colonel
Richards, of General BroOkes staff, Is
that the health Of the army being excel
lent here, and all the facilities for its sub
sistence being at hand, il is not probable
that any chances will be taken by making
another change OF water and climate
until the times comes to go to the front.
Five days rations are being issued to
the various regiments, and in order that
the public might judge whether there is
any truth in the special reports sent out
from here as to the shortage of food, the
Associated Press was furnished with the
following statement of what the Eighth
New York received, all others receiving
prOpOrtiOnately the same: Two hundred
and eighty pounds of salt, 52 pounds of
coffee. 200 pounds of beans, 50 gallons
of vinegar, 200 pounds of sugar, 1000
pounds of onions, 24O pounds of soap, 50
pounds of candles. $40 pounds of bacon,
1893 pounds of potatoes. 4.74o pound
loaves of bread, and 4Sl pounds of
fresh beef
CAPTAIN Rockwell. chief of the ord
nance Department to-day made out
statement of the number Of guns needed
TO equip the army here, the number
being l2.OO0 He expects 10 receive these
guns within the next week.
Colonel Hartsuff chief surgeon on
General Brookes staff, announces that
reports from the various division and
reeimental hospitals show decided de-
crease of sickness. and adds that there
are only two or three serious cases IN
the entire camp.

NEGRO TROOPS ON TRIAL.
They Are Charged With Murder
Other Tampa Notes.

TAMPA, FLA, June l0.--The trial OF
John Young and James Johnson, colored
members of the Tenth Cavalry, Is now in
progress at Barlow, before the Circuit
Court. They have both been indicted for
the murder of Job Collins, who was killed
IN a melee while the soldiers were en-
camped at Lakeland. Two witnesses were
examined to-day. Great difficulty was ex-
peFienced by the Sheriff in obtaining wit
nesses. Yesterday he made application
to General Shafter, at Port Tampa, for
two witnesses, but the General refused
To give him the men.
To-day, at Port Tampa, Grover Flint, a
well-known correspondent, was injured by
his horses stumbling and falling on him.
Last night corporal OF the National
Guard of the District Of Columbia was se-
yerely injured by unknown persons. IL is
thought his skull is fractured.
MILES AT PORT TAMPA.
General Miles spent the greater portion
OF to-day at Port Tampa.
The greater portion Of the water being
used on board the vessels in the harbor
has been obtained from spring lake
across the bay at St. Petersburg. This
water Is piped down to the docks, and Is
readily loaded on the boats.
The action Of two strangers. who, upon
Investigation, proved TO be Spaniards. has
excited considerable suspicion. and they
are being watched. They have driven out
toward this lake, and 1t has been decided
that precautionary steps shall at once
be taken. With this in view, company
will be dispatched over the bay to guard

THE MELON RATE CASE.
Decision Against the south Carolina
Railroad Commission.

WASHINGTON. June i0.-The Interstate
Commerce Commission to-day, In an opin-
ion by Commissioner Yeomans, announced
it's decision in the case of the Railroad
Commission of South Carolina against
the Florence Railroad Company and
others, and i'm two other cases.
The complaints allege that the rates
charged by defendants for the transporta-
tion Of melons I'm carloads from shipping
points In South Carolina to New York
and other northern points were unjust
and unreasonable. II appears that the
rates were lower than those In force be-
tween the same points on cotton and
general merchandise, although greater
speed and some other exceptional facili-
ties are involved In the transportation
Of melons from South Carolna and that
the rate per ton per mile afforded by the
melon rates ranged from 76 mills TO IL
cents, and for most OF the defendant
roads were less than the average receipts
per ton per mile from all freight
The commission decides that the rates
complained of were not shown to be un-
reasonable or unjust. and that the petit
tlons should be dismissed without pre-
iudice.

VIII Leave To-Day.
SAN DIEGO, CAL, June l0.--The United
States monitor Monterey and her coal
consort the Brutus, supposed to be speed
ing on their way towards Honolulu and
Manila, We're sighted at noon to-day,
steaming south toward San Diego, at a
good rate of speed, the Monterey leading.
They arrived off the harbor mouth at 3
p. NJ. and separated, the Brutus going
about five miles south and anchoring near
Coronado Island, while the Monterey
came in rapidly, and dropped her anchor
at =. NJ.
A cutter in which were Paymaster
Rogers and an ensign came ashore as
soon as a boat could be launched, and
Paymaster Rogers stated briefly to the
Associated Press reporter that they had
simply come in for coal and water, and
would sail tomorrow afternoon at high
tide for Honolulu.
Being asked if there was anything the
matter with the engines, machinery, or
crew, he saidi Nothing whatever; all is
well on board" 1t was suggested that
the course taken was little out of the
usual one, and the officer said it would
make little difference in the time of ar
rival at Honolulu.
Coal was obtained and put on board in
a hurry. The officer accompanying the
paymaster stated that they met heavy
weather the second day out and lost
overheard eighty-three tons, which was
secured in the netting on the Monterey's
deck

WILMINGTON, n. g, June 10.-The
government water-barge, which was lost
from the steamer LeJnidas off the North

bar in Elmer's inlet, about twenty miles

One of her starboard tanks forward is
empty. The others are all intact.
The revenue-cutter Colfax, which has
been in search of the barge located her
to-day, and came within 400 yards Of

WHY CASTILLO REFUSED,
He |, Not in sympathy with the
Saqasta Ministry.
OPPOSED TO CONTINUING THE WAR
France wants spain 10 Sue for Peace
to Preserve the Philippines and
Save Her BondhOIders.

London. May 22.--The Madrid correspond
ent OF the Daily Telegraph says: one point
OF interest in the reconstruction of the
cabinet lies in the obstinate refusal ofSenor
Leon Castillo, the Spanish ambassador to
France, 10 accept the foreign secre taryship.
Every consideration has been brought TO
bear in vain, His first reply to the pre-
micr's request expressed the conviction that
the interests OF Spain would be b, st served
by his remaining at Paris. Senior Sagasta
answered, pointing out that the head OF the
government was the best Judge OF the in
terests of the fatherand, and insisting on
the ambassadors acceptance. To the sur
prise OF everybody, the ambassador per-
listed in his refusal and promised in per-
sonal interview to prove to Senior Sagasta
that it would be d grave mistake for him to
leave Paris.
am enabled to state that the ambassa-
dor motive for the refusal was the fol-
lowing. Senior Sagastas cabinet IS by
lis own fornial declaration deter
mined TO carry on the war with
all possible yigor, while Senior Cas-
tilo is aware that SPANS friends among
the powers, France in particular, are re-
solved 20 insist upon her suing for peace
at the first favorable momant. France pos
sessed Il two fold interest in having peace
concluded financial and political. The for
mer would be severely damaging if Spain
were utterly ruined, and tbs latter would
suffer If the United States retained posses
sion OF the Philippines. The leading idea
that actuates STATE smen r. sponsble for the
political scheme favored by Senior Castillo
is that Spain must be worsted in the long
run il is advisable to save as much as pos
siblc from destruction, and that the sooner
peace is concluded the more tolerable will
the terms acquesced in bys the United
States. The most important Of these terms
is the possession of the Philippines, which
can be uaed for further political combina-
lions later on.
To become a member of war cabinet,
therefore, AT the very moment when the
! nicudly powers resolved to press on Spain
Il speedy peace appears imprudent TO Senior
/ Castillo, who is in possession of all the
/ threads OF the negotiations. Senior Sagas-
tas cabinet is certainly DESTROYS OF regain
| ing popularity with the country by prose-
cutting the war to the bitter end.
SPANS position as Mediterranean POWER
I'M Morocco, her we'll disciplined land and
sea forces and, above all, her possession Of
the Philippines constitute the political as
pect OF the question. The first and most
/ important step at present, therefore, is TO
utilize the most rrQntious moment for
concluding peace on the basis of Spain
retention OF the Philippines. When that
| tine comes and it is believed 20 be near,
