A beautiful place was selected on the

definitely decided what regiments will be
brought here, but 1t is thought to ba
those nov stationed in Tampa.
The water facilities here are excellent
and, In fact, IL has been decided that
Lakeland has the advantage of any town
in the state so far as water for both men

the impression that he would not go until
things were about ready to move forWrrd.
Now for him to so. especially just after
he has received the report from Lieut.
Rowan about the condition of things in
Cuba. would seem to give the strongest
possible indication of early action. It is
just possible that he goes merely for in
spectiou; or perhaps ne goes to the front
to get away from the secretary with
whom he is at cross purposes, but more
probably he goes because something Is
going to drop over about Cuba.

MOVEMENTS OF
 OUR SOLDIERS By the RaiIroads-Hot Competi- ton Between Agents. THE THIRD MISSISSIPPI
Will Pass Through Birmingham Tomor- row En Route to Lexington, Ky Fourteenth N. Y. Leaves An
 niston For Home Soon.

There are now four regiments stationed at Camp Shipp, Anniston, as follows: The Third Alabama (colored), the Third Tennes- see, the Second Arkansas, and the Four teenth New York.
 The last named regiment the New York tered out and the Southern railroad is ex- pecting to handle them either tomorrow or Tuesday.
 Four more regiments are expected in An niston to run the division up to seven or eight regiments.
 The Alabama Great Southern railroad yesterday brought back from York the coaches that had been used in taking the First Mississippi from Chickamauga to Lauderdale Springs, Miss. They are need ed in Chattanooga to handle other regi- ments out of Chickamauga.
 According to the present orders the Ala bama Great Southern railroad will handle the Third Mississippi volunteers through Birmingham sometime tomorrow.
 This regiment is now stationed at Jack son, Miss, having been there ever since it was organized. It is to be taken to the camp at Lexington, Ky. The Third Mis- sissippi is very likely to see service in Cuba as it will be the only regiment in that state which is retained in the service. The First and Second are to be mustered out
 Ripley F. Beasley, travelling passenger agent of the Louisville and Nashville, ar rived from Chattanooga Friday night and left yesterday for Anniston, where he will endeavor to get large slice of the soldier movements in and out of Camp Shipp for his road
 the Southern, is also in Anniston, repre- senting the Southern and the Alabama Great Southern. He has removed his head quarters which he established in Chatta- nooga.
 But Beasley and Billups are not the only travelling passenger agents now in Annis- ton. Nearly every road in the country that has any showing at handling the men, has agent there and they are having a hot fight. They scrap not only to move whole regiments, but for the furloughed men and those going home on sick leaves. This business, though small in comparison with the movement of a whole regiment, amounts to big thing as all of the soldiers when they travel as individuals have to pay full fare.
