ORDERS FOR MOB|lzIMG
Troops on the Coast for Quick Trans
portaton to Cuba.
WARlIkE Steps TAKEN BY THE GOVERNMENT
the South-Commanding Officers In
structed to Put Orders Into Effect
rs soon as Possible.

WASHINGTON (SpeciaD. Decidedly
the most warlike step taken by the war
department in preparing for the posi-
bility of an encounter with Spain was in
augurated Friday, when orders were is
sued for the concentration at four points
in the south of six regiments of cav
airy, twenty-five regiments of infantry
and the light batteries of five regiments
of artillery. At Chickamauga there
will be six regiments of cavalry and
the light batteries of five regiments of
artillery; at New Orleans, eight regi-
ments of infantry; at Tampa, seven
regiments of infantry, and at Mobile.
seven regiments of infantry. Since
the civil war no such proportion of the
army has been modified, and the
movement itself is the best evidence of
the gravity of the situation as looked
upon by the president and his advisers.
Secretary Alger at once called into
conference General Miles and Adjutant
General Corbin, and acquainted them
with the results of the cabinets de-
liberations. There were hurried con-
situations, in which the quartermaster-
general, who has charge Of the trans
portation of the troops, the commissary
| general, who looks after their sub
sistence. and representatives IN Wash
ington of various railroads running to
The south, participated.
The department has so distributed
the twenty-five regiments of infantry
at such convenient places on the gulf
they will be accessible for quick trans
portation to Cuba. Proposals have been
invited from steamship companies for
chartering vessels to the government
| for this work.
Instructions to the commanding Off
GERS of the regiments ordered to move
have been sent out, with directions to
be put into effect as soon rs possible.
The following regiments OF cavalry
aud light batteries of artillery are re-
iieyed from duty at their present sta
tons and will be ordered to proceed
to Chickamauga Park, GA:
All the light batteries of the First,
Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth regi'
ments of Artillery, and the First, Sec
ond, Third, Sixth and Ninth and
Tenths Regiments of Cavalry.
The following regiments of infantry
are relieved from duty at their present
stations, and will be ordered to the
following points:
To New Orleans--The First, Sew.
enth, Eighth, Twelfth, Sixteenth,
Eighteenth, Twenty third and Twenty
fourth.
To Mobile-Second, Third, Tenth,
Eleventh, Nineteenth, Twentieth and
| Vwenty-second.
To Tampa, Fla.-The Fourth, Fifth,
Sixth, Ninth, Thirteenth, Seventeenth
and Twenty first.
The command of the army will de-
volve upon Major General Nelson A.
| Miles, who is now at the head of the
military branch of the government
His temporary headquarters it is said,
probably, will be at Atlanta. General
Miles's permanent headquarters will
depend entirely upon the exigencies
of the situation and the developments
of the campaign.
The whole available force east of
the Rocky mountains, numbering
about 20, 600 men, will be moved.

For Spain to Relinquish Her Hold on Gu
bn, Says the Washington Post.
The Washington Posts summary of
the situation published in Sunday 8
issue includes the following statement:
Immediately the president is en-
powered to use the armyt and navy
he will issue an ultimatum to Spain,
giving her twenty-four hours-possi-
bly, forty eight--within which to an
swer whether she will peaceably With
draw her troops and flag from Cuba
Her refusal to evacuate the island,
which is, of course, expected, will be
the signal for action on the part Ct this
government and that action will I've the
use of both, our naval and land forces.
The Post makes this statement upon the
highest possible authority, the course
of action indicated having been decid-
ed upon at yesterdays cabinet meet
ing. Should the resolutions reach the
president, accompanied by the amend
ment recognizing the republic of Gu
la, the president will sign them, but
in brief message to congress he will
hold that the constitutional preroga-
tives vested in the president to recog-
nize other governments cannot be
taken away and that the amendment is
therefore void and imperative"

LONDON, Especial. The officials of
the British foreign Office, when ques-
stoned on the subject, refused to make
a statement on the hypothetical case as
to whether Great Britain would join
in naval demonstration in behalf of
Spain, but they added that they did
not believe that such demonstration
would be attempted.
A representative of the Associated
Press, however, learns from the am
bassador here of q continental power
that no such demonstration is con-
templated, Though it might be moot
ed by some despairirg friend of
Spain" He added: '''Such q move

in view of Great Britain's fiat refusal
to join in any demonstration or step
with the view of putting pressure upon
the United States. If the continental
powers attempted it Great Britain
would probably openly endorse the
United States, certain snub to Eu-
rope. The Austrian ambassador
openly says he has given up any hope
of Europe preventing war"
