yesterday marks great advance In the plans
for the military occupation OF Cuba. Up TO
now the soldiers here have merely been THE

It's vicinity" When the corps designations are
announced they will form the Fifth and Seventh
corps and "A division Of cavalry. and when thus
organized will be In vastly better condition than
before go into a campaign.
The actual orders have not yet arrived from
Washington and officially affairs are in the
same status as last week. On the receipt Of the
documents by mail. however. there will be q
complete shifting Of authority here. Those who
were well informed have believed ever since
General Wade found to rank General
Shafte: that his removal to another command
would be speedy. The assignment of General
Wade to the Third Corps with orders to report
to General Brooke at Chickamauga. was there
fore great surprise.
General Wade is longer In Tampa having
started on Sunday night on tour Of the State

come Most OF his staff Is here however, and
to-day II continues TO act just as IL no new Or
ders had been issued. By tomorrow. however.
when the new assignments become formally
known here. General Skaters staff will take
hold.
At present the troops In the Tampa district

This Arrangement Is merely temporary, and Is
due 10 the fact that this brigade. consisting OF
the LIST and 10th Cavalry. under Brigadier-Gen-
eral S. b. NJ Young, Is In camp at Lakeland,
where the volunteers have also Just arrived.
Before long IT Is expected the formation OF
the Fifth and Seventh corps Will be announced.
Meanwhile the brigade designations made by
General Wade on Sunday are likely to stand
With the corps organization complete the army
will be much easier to command and to handle
than Row. Orders can 60 through better chan

vantage when the formation adopted by militia
strategsts as the most effective Is in full ef-

NEGRO SOLDIERS SHOOT WHITE MAN.
MUCH INDIGNATION AROUSED IN THE VI
CISITY OF THE LAKELAND CAMP.

CINITY OF THE LAKELAND CAMP.
Tampa. Fla, May II tspec.aD There Is In
tense feeling in and abou; Lakeland over the
killing of Joab Collins, a white man. for which
two negro members OF the 10th Cavalry are held
responsible The trouble is due to the race
prejudice in Florida, which has already caused
outbreaks in Tampa and Key West. The negro
soldiers coming from the North have resented
the restrictions placed on them In Florida. and
there have been several small riots In conse-
quence.
Some OF the privates OF the 10th Cavalry went
TO a drugstore and tried to buy soda water last
night. They told that only white people
were served, There was considerable grumbling
by the negroes. and one OF them went to an ad-
joining barber shop to get shaved. The mulatto
proprietor told him that he would have to go
a shop for colored men. This caused
disorder. and the negroes we're angry
Later they returned with some Of their COM
rades and broke several windows in the barber
shop. and began firing their revolvers. Appar-
emily they shot In the air and merely to fright
en- the white people, but by some chance one
bullet struck Collins who standing not far
away. and killed him.

the county seat, for trial. The City Marshal
said he had received messages from six places
promising assistance. He would say assist
ance for what purposes. but IL was fair 10 infer
that It was not to guard the men.
The inquest was held to-day. twenty-five pri-
Yates Of the 1st Cavalry, white regiment,
guarded the negroes who were rnanacled to-
gether There seemed no particular evidence to
show that either had fred the fatal shot. A
surgeon testified that the bullet was OF 3S
calibre. the size used by the cavalry. One
prisoner had no pistol when arrested He said
IL was in camp. The other had all the chambers
OF his revolver loaded. and .45-ca,bre weapon
was found after the shooting. but no one could
explain who had thrown IL away.
The negro soldiers have been kept In camp TO-
night. and guard OF twenty-five men sur
rounds the jail 1t Is certain that General
Young Will protect the prisoners al all hazards
bui the feeling in Lakeland is certainly ugly.

PROF. F. H. MOVES DEAD.
Popular Training school Teacher
Suddenly Expires.

The sudden taking off of Prof. Frank H.
Noyes, teacher Of art in the Industrial
Training School, yesterday morning oeea-
stoned much regret among the pupils of the
school as well as a large circle Of acquaint
ances with whom he was very popular. He
had been taken TO st. Vncent's Hospital a
week ago on account of his serious illness.
Early yesterday morning Prof Frank A.
Preston. his roommate, called at the hos
pital TO make his daily inquiry as TO Prof.
Noyess condition. How am II" repeated
Professor NOyes in response To his friends
question. 4 am" and then he gasped
and fell over dead. Dr. Henry jameson had
pronounced his trouble rheumatism of the
heart. He and DIR. Foxworthy, of the hos
pital, were the attending physicians. Prof.
Noyess father died last June OF the same
trouble. The mother o. the dead teacher
reached the city late last night from Bos-
ton.
Professor Noyes was graduate OF the
Boston Normal Art School aad was for
seven years an instructor In art at Cornell
University. He would have been thirty-one
years old had he lived till Saturday. He
was unmarried When the training school
was opened In 1895 Mr. Noyes came here to
take charge OF the art department. He was

More New work Ordered.

Preparations are now being made to add
greatly to the facilities of the Pittsburg di-
vision of the Panhandle lines, which will
greatly facilitate the handling of the heavy
traffic between Pittsburg and Columbus
The Pittsburg Post says: "Plans for the
addition of another two-track span on the
Lockton bridge near Carnegie have been
completed. and it was stated yesterday that
the track would be commenced at once
Contractor Casparis has been awarded the
contract to straighten the main line at the
great reverse curve near New Cumberland
Junction This will be very important
piece OF work. as a big spur of the hill will
have to be cut down and considerable filling
done in order to take out the sharp bends
which have necessitated slow orders for
years. 1t is also understood that New Cum
berland Junction will in the not very far
distant future be made the point for diVid-
ing up freight trains instead of Golfers.
After the New Cumberland Improvements
are completed and the four-track bridge and
tracks finished from Camp Hill through
Carnegie to Ingram and interlocking
switches placed in the Carnegie yards this
end of the Panhandle will compare favor
ably with any. other piece of road in the

Rates Firm at IndianapoIis.

H. G. Stiles, general agent of the Cincin-
natl Hamilton & Dayton at this point. said
yesterday that he was satisfied that for
once rates in all directions from Indanap-
oils were well maintained, and he thought
that the kilograms from Chicago and ST.
Louis to the effect that rates were being
cut were misleading and exaggerated. He
had seen a number of freight men from
those points and they expressed the opinion
that the situation was grossly exaggerated,
and stated that most OF these reports orig
mated with shippers who are anxious 10
bring about a generalization in rates. Still,
Mr.. Stiles expressed the opinion that ship
pers at Indianapolis were not given as good
rates as are shippers at ST. Louis and Chi
cago. He had noticed that whenever a re-
duction in rates is made as result of a
Generalization Indianapolis was the last
point 10 be benefited, and he thought that
Indianapolis had now become a shipping
point of enough Importance to be placed on
an equal basis with st. Louis or Chicago as
to percentages and in the matter of reduced
rates.
