There are rumors that a vote will be

Arkansas in discussing the outlook He
said that in case an effort was made 10

find it necessary to maintain a continuous
quorum
Senator Davis, who is managing the con-
TEST Tor the annexatiOnists, said that he
would insist upon II o'clock sessions. and
ne also expressed the opinion that It
would be necessary to extend the daily
meetings into the evening
The opposition count upon the appro-
priation bills consuming considerable time
next week.
The opposition has received considerable
encouragement from the return of Sena-
tor Allen of Nebraska from his home
from the recovery of Senator Caffery from
an Illness which threatened to interfere
with his capacity for experimenting, and
from the fact that Senator Butler has
manifested willingness to alter his de-
termination not to speak. All three have
now given assurance that they may be
counted upon for speeches, and all are
capable of making Dong talks"
Senators White and Pettigrew also ex-
pect to continue at considerable length.
while shorter speeches are expected from
Messrs. Clay, Tillman, Jones, Berry. Bate
Roach, Lindsay, Pasco, Chiffon and other

TROOPS TO LEAVE CH1cKAMAuGA
Fifteen Regiments Ordered Ready
to Go to Cuba.


Chickamauga National Military Park,
June 96.-It is no longer a question that a
large force of troops are about to be or
dered from Camp Thomas to the front.
An order was issued by command of
Mai. Gen. Brooke to-day which virtually
amounts TO an order for the movement of
fifteen regiments to Cuba.
In accordance with this order the First
division of the First Corps and two bri-
gades of the Second division of the same
corps will form an expeditionary force
and are ordered to be Immediately prepar-
ed and equipped for active field service
The following brigades are included in
this order:
First brigade, commanded by Gen.
Earnest and composed of the Eighth Mas
sachusetts, Third Wisconsin and Fifth
Illinois.
Second brigade, commanded by Gen.
Sanger, and composed of the Fourth Ohio.
Third Illinois and the Fourth Pennsylva-
mia.
Third brigade, commanded by Gen. Wi
ley, and composed of the Sixteenth Penn
sylvania, Second Wisconsin and First New
Hampshire
Second Division, First corps: First
brigade, commanded by Col Gardiner
and composed of the Thirty-first Mlchi-
gan one Hundred and Sixtieth Indiana
and First Georgia.
Second brigade, commanded by Gen. Nc
Kee and composed of the First West Vir-
ginia, One Hundred and Fifty-eighth In
diana and Twelfth New York
The order does NOT specify Just when
these troops will 60 or to what point they
viii be sent for embarkation, but is I'M
derstood that they viii go to Tampa for
direct departure for Cuba.
That the order means an almost immc-
diaie move was signifed by the general
rush this afternoon. The ordnance depart
ment received large stores, including
Springfield rifles and other equipment suf-
hcient to complete the fitting out of TWEEN
ty regiments
The order was received with enthusia SIN
among all the regiments affected by it,
such outrageously false and mischievous
statements have been sent out from here
as TO the condition of the park the supply
or food and number and condition of the
sick by irresponsible special newspaper
correspondents that Gen. Brooke has is
sued an order forbiddng any one to be
admitted TO the various camps without a
regular crrepondent's pass signed by the
