TROOPS FOR PORTO RICO.
A. nounc, m snt of Plans for tho Army !
the Future.

tht
Washington, ID. c.. Oct. 3.--rhe Wal
Department has decided TO send NOR,
troops to Porto Rico.
Orders have been issued directing
that the Fifth regiment cavalry, now Il,
Huntsville, Alabama; the Sixth United
States volunteer infantry, now al
Chlckamauga, and the Fortyseventll
New York, now at Fort Adams, shall
proceed to such point In Porto Rico as
may be desired by the commanding
general OF that island.
The Eighth United States volunteer
infantry and two companies Of the In
diana colored volunteers, now at Fort
Thomas, Kentucky, will relieve the
Sixth volunteer infantry at Chicka.
mauga.
All the troops Mt Camp Meade will
soon be ordered to points in the South.
Some Of them may go to Cuba, but the
majority will for the present occupy
the new camps recently selected In
Georgia and South Carolina. II Ia ex.
pected that the troops sent to garrison
duty in Cuba will not remain long, but
when they have seen service for a few
months will return to this country. The
same Is probably true as to Porto Rico.
II is also intlmated that when the
troops return the volunteers will be
given sixty days furlough and be mus
tered out. BY that time Congress will
have had an opportunity to determine
what shall be done in regard to garri-
soning the new possessions.
This determination is no doubt due to
pressure that has been brought by
members OF Congress for the mastering
out OF volunteers from their states and
districts. The responsibility for fur.
nlshlng troops for garrison duty gen
orally will be upon Congress.

THE grandest thing in having

tale of two generals recently retold

Howard was promoted to lead n spe-

sent for his subordinate and said to

that he shall ride at the head OF his

1T Is my command" said Howard.
and am entitled TO ride at It's head. "
''Of course you are" replied Sherman.
You led them through Georgia and
the Carollnas; but. Howard, you are

pointment" Putting IL on tha,
ground. there Is but one answer. lie,

Sherman. but you will report TO me a,

protested: but Sherman said. gently

SPAIN AS A REPUBLIC.

Eve Different Kuiers.

Eve Different Rui~rs.
Twenty-Five years ngo Spain was n
republic. Her existence during this Pc
riod was more stormy than nj any 9th
er time during her history, says
writer in the ChautauQuan.
So uncertain was the republic that
the United States ana Switzerland
alone recognized it as Il legal govern
ment. The other nations held aloof.
knowing that the republic would be OF
short duration And so 1t proved. The
republic lasted less than two years,
and during that time five men in sue
cession acted as helmsInen to the rud-
derless ship of state, which drifted
hither and thither, purposclessly.
In Its formation the republic was I'M
usual. 1t was Il most peaceful revOlu-
tion. In the morning Spain was
monarchy; in the evening republic.
There were no excesses attending its
birth, no cXtravagant cxultAtion. no
threats of vengeance on the part of the
monarchlsts. No barrieades were
raised and no swords were drawn or
guns fired. Later there was plenty of
bloodshed, but none at the birth of the
republic.
The formation Of the republic was
due to the difficulty experienced In &C.
curing sovereign satisfactory to the
cOrtes. Don Carlos was impossible to
those who no longer believed in the
divine right Of kings. Alfonso was dis
trusted because he was the son OF the
ex-Queen Isabella, notorious for her
exccsses. Amandeus, cOaxed TO accept
the throne, was wenried with his task
and willingly abdicated.
He found 1t impossible TO bring about
any harmony between the Spanish
parties. In his letter Of abdicatiOn he
said that he would be willing TO return
when plots, perils anl obstacles" had
been overcome. The cOrtes gladly ne
cepted his abdlcation, declaring that
when that condition existed should he
desire to return TO the country he
could do so, though not 70 receive the
crown again, but TO accept another
dignity. that of n citizen Of free and
