Moving the Cars.
Knoxville, Oct. 31.-There was quite
a disturbance at the railroad station
here about midnight.
A battalion of the Tenth colored cav
airy was passing through on its way
from the Philadelphia jubilee to head
quarters at Huntsville, Ala. and at
this point they refused to allow the
train to proceed under the orders of
the railroad authorities.
The officers CT the battalion left the
train at Knoxville to get something
to Eat, with instructions to the men
not to allow it to leave the station until
their return. The railroad officials
wanted to move the train before the
officers returned and the soldiers would
not permit it. 1t is alleged by the rail-
road authorities that the officers went
up town and remained away for an
hour or more. leaving the train stand
ing on the main track. The railroad
people became impatient and attempted
to move, but some of the troops board

In the meantime the officers of the
battalion returned and the train moved

and said this was the reason of the
disturbance. This the railroad people

ment to Investigate the Island

WILL LAND FIRST OF YEAR.
SPECIAL REPORT FROM HAVANA,

Washington, Nov. There has been
no change In the plans of the war de-
partment respecting the sending of
troops to Cuba.
No date has ever been fixed when
troops shall depart. The only thing
that has been determined on is that
the control of the island shall pass to
the United States Jan. L.
Attempts to make it appear that the
death of Colonel waring from yellow
fever has changed the plans of the de-
partmert are without basis. When
General Lee was in Washington, the
earliest date he recommended for send
ing troops to Cuba was Nov. Is, and
he did this with several reservations,
suggesting that only small number
be sent and to particular places, where
there was little danger of disease and
fever.
With a view to making arrangements
for the troops a board of officers was
sent to Cuba to select camp sites and
ascertain what was needed for the
troops.
The principal officers of this board,
Colonels Hecker and Lee, have been
ordered to Washington, and their re-
ports will be carefully considered be-
fore any troops are sent to Cuba The
war department, moreover, does not
wish to have any conflict with Spanish
troops as to occupation of towns, and
therefore desires to send the United
States troops into Cuba only a short
time before the Spanish troops evac-
uate.
owing to climatic conditions, the
United States has not been pressing
for immediate evacuation, requesting
only that reasonable progress should
be made by the Spanish authorities.

For the Shortage of Medical Supplies In
Cuba.
Lexington, KY, Nov. before the
war investigating commission Chief
Commissary Marshal of Camp Hamil-
ton denied the statements made by
Lieutenant Colonel Mitchell of the
First territorials. He said every re-
QUESTION had been honored from the
terrftorials.
The second witness was General ].
C. Bates, who testified as to the San
tiago campaign, the camps at Mobile
and at Chickamauga. He went to see
. General Brooke regarding the lack of
equipments, clothing and other sup
plies.
Montauk Point was not the proper
place for a camp for sick soldiers at
this time of year. At Montauk Point
learned that the Long Island Rail-
road company had an exclusive con-
tract to haul the soldiers to the city.
In Cuba medical supplies were woe
fully short. The medical officers said
they could not get them
his was especially true at Siboney.
In going over we had enough medical
supplies, but we were cut down.
Had trouble in getting our ambu-
lances taken to Cuba. Got one fol-
each regiment and one for the squad
ron. I think the ambulances 1 took
were the only ones ashore when the
rough riders fight occurred on June "a.
When asked what in his opinion was
the weakness In the medical depart
ment, General Bates said he thought a
great mistake was made in not sending
T.,
with regiments ordered to the field.
DR.. Connor-what do you think of
the propriety of allowing female nursef
to accompany an army into the field
'I think 1t would be perfectly proper
to have them at large hospitals. but
not in regimentaI hospitals"
Replying to a leading question by
DR.. Connor. General Bates said that
with modern arms. danger in removing
wounded from line of fire was greatly
increased, that it would be difficult for
ambulance men and litter bearers to
live in the increased zone of fire.
In Cuba it was difficult to get oat-
meal and other delicacies for sick al
think there is not sufficient excuse for
medical supplies being short in Cuba.
Better preparations could have been
made for transportation"
Out of Cyclones Path.
Washington, Nov. 1.-The navy de-
partment is under no apprehension as
to the safety of the Maria Teresa, al
though some fear has been expressed
in the Santiago dispatches that the
vessel, along with her consorts, the
Vulcan and Leonidas, have fallen into
the sphere of West Indian cyclone
The Teresa passed Cape Maysi at the
eastern extremity of Cuba, bound for
Hampton Roads, and signalled that all
was well, and that her machinery was
working smoothly. BY this time, ac-
cordinE to the calculations of the naval
officers, she should be well on towards
the Bahamas, keeping well to the east
ward and away from the Florida coast
Meanwhile the weather bureau report
to the navy department shows that q
cyclone is forming to the southwest
of Havana, which probably will come
up the southwest coast of Florida, and

Neat Address of Col. Bar.
Der to the Soldiers.
Regret That They Could Not Go 70 Ma
niIa-Kindness Of the Ladies Of
Honolulu.

At Camp Waialae last Thursday. aft
er dinner had been served 10 men of
the New York Regiment OF Volunteers
by ladies of Honolulu, with Mrs. Dole
at the head, an address was made by
Colonel Barber, commanding the bat
talions. Sergeant'S call was sounded TO
assemble the men.
Colonel Barber reminded the soldiers
of the sentiments and thoughts
brought no doubt TO the breast of all
by the Thanksgiving season and espe
cially as they were far from home. He
added that they would soon bid fare
we'll TO Hawaii and in due time reach
the points at which they had enlisted
and again take up their callings as
American citizens in private life. The
colonel was sorry, he said that the re-
giment could not have gone forward
into the country of the enemy. He
knew that all of the men regretted it,
but he felt that it took as much cour-
age to do what they had done from the
first as would be required in active
campaigning.
Colonel Barber put special emphasis
on the faithful and brotherly attention
the men had given their comrades who
had been so unfortunate as to be COM
PEELED to go into the hospital. He told
how the we'll men had treated the sick
ones with all the tenderness and
thoughtfulness they could command. II
did not matter what regiment the pa
tient came from, all were looked after
the same. All had been thought OF
alike, whether from North or South,
volunteers or regulars, because all were
Americans.
The colonel spoke feelingly of the
kindness of the ladies of Honolulu TO
the regiment The ladies were at the
wharf when the transports arrived and
gave the boys garlands and bouquets
and fruit. The ladies had from the
first done a thousand and one things
TO help the boys along. and now as a
climax, they had given them as fine a
Thanksgiving dinner as they could
ever expect al home. He felt certain
that the great kindness of the ladies
was fully appreciated.
After the speech the soldiers showed
their admiration for their colonel by
cheering him heartily. Cheers were
Dole and for the ladies of Honolulu.
