Wants Negro Troops Removed.

A Chattanooga (Tenn) special says
Mayor Watkins has requested the Secre-
tary of War to remove the Eighth I'm
mune Regiment from Chlckamauga.
In his request Mayor Watkins says that
on account of the conduct of the negroes
their presence near the city is undesirable
and prejudicial TO good order. He ADDS
that the citizens Of Chattanooga would
be pleased to have a white regiment sta
toned at the park.
The Mayors action is the result Of the
general sentiment here The conflict
with the police when a white man was
killed. the stoning of train by negro
troops because one of their number was
elected from a car reserved for whites
and the arrest of white recruits for fall
ing TO salute a colored officer, are among
the Objectionable actions.

one told them the story and pointed out
the persimmon tree from a limb of which
Singleton swung into eternity. The negro
soldiers went TO the tree and began

their vengeful fury. They then cut
down the tree in order TO burn

Rley-was seen approaching. and the mon

him. but Mr.. Riley fastened away III
order to save his life. Finding that they
could not oyertake Mr.. Rely, the men
returned to the park and cut the per-
simmon tree up into short bludgeons' ol
about 8 feet long, and armed with these
the negroes swore they would Kill all
of the white people they met. They theh
said they would tear down and burn the
pavilion and houses at Crump's PARK
and when Mr.. Henry Burkner, the park
keeper. told them that they were not al
lowed TO go in, they abused him |itn
both words and bludgeons. Burkner
called his assistant. but both gentlemen
not being able to keep the negroes out
Mr.. Durkner said to Mr.. Eisner tnat ne
would summon assistance by telephone
to run them away. The negroes covered
him with their rifles and pistols. and TOOK
his pistol from him. They also took MI
Eisner's pistol. Policeman Henry small

in his uniform and on hearing the DEM

MANY soLDIERs MUST REnAIN.
One Hundred TAsussni VIII n Hustsrsd out v Each
STATE In YTeDsssisn.

In response to the request Of the
governors OF some OF the states for the
muster out Of their entire volunteer
force the president replied In substance
az follows:
Answering your telegraphic request
for the muster out Of your regiments,
i have already directed that one hun
dred thousand OF the volunteers shall
be mustered out OF service. This. be-
cause, in my judgment, that number
can be spared. About one hundred
thousand will remain, as the govern
ment now requires In Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Philippines larger army
than the regular military establish
ment affords. The muster out like the
muster in will be as nearly as possible
according to the population OF the
several states. The suggestion to mus
ter out all of the volunteers from your
state cannot therefore be entertained.
"The secretary of war has already
inquired of the governors of the sever
al states what regiments in their judg-
ment can with the least Inconvenience
remain In the service. Their advice
will, so far as consistent with the pub
lie interests, be complied with"

ALGER WANTS IN INVESTIGATION.
COMMITTEE APPOINTED.
Gen. csrbin Jsins in the Request asvsrnmsnt Has No
fsrmsl csnpisiats Against The War De
ysrtmsnt Miles in wsshington.

Secretary Aiger has requested the
searching investigation of the war de-
partment. In this request the secre-
tary has been Joined by Adj. Gen. Cor
bin.
No decision has been reached yet by
the president as to what course he VIII
pursue. He has the request OF secre-
tary Alger under consideration. but
has not yet determined whether he Will
grant II or not.
should tn investigation be ordered. II
will include, probably, all matters re-
lating to the conduct OF the war; so far
as they concern the war department.
Secretary Alger expresses himself as
confident that such an investigation, II
conducted promptly and thoroughly
will result in much good.
Such an investigation as has been
requested Is, II is pointed out, beset
with some difficulties. No charges OF
a definite character have been filed by
any responsible person or official. Sem
sational stories and rumors for which
the administration has present knowl-
edge that there is no foundation have
been circulated, and objection liz made
to dignifying them by the ordering OF
an investigation.
BY those who desire and advocate
the investigation, It is maintained II
can do no possible harm, and may be
OF positive benefit In clearing away
manifest error from the minds OF
many people. and in placing the blame,
| II any is to be placed, where II right
fully belongs.
In some high quarters there is a. dis
| position 10 look upon Gen. Miles as be-
| ing his own worst enemy, and to pass
over his comments as ill-advised
| though not to the extent of constitute
ing insubordination, or warrantine
official action by the president or wal
| department.
