Word of God. hating 1t, ridiculing 1t.
perverting il. denying II.
Sometimes we cut some Of the leaves

SCATTERING THE TROOPS.
Orders Given to Break Up the Large Mil

Washington, Aug. 10.-Adjutant Gen
eral Corbin has issued the following
statement:
THE secretary of war has ordered
one division of the 1st army corps from
Chattanooga to Knoxville, Tenn. and
another division of the same corps from
Chickamauga to Lexington, Ky A di-
vision of the 4th corps now at Tampa
has been ordered to Huntsville. Ala.
The second division General DavisD
of the I'd army corps, now at Manas-
sas, Va, has been ordered to Middle
town Pa. The advisability of march
ing the troops from Chickamauga to
Knoxville and Lexington is under con-
sideration."
The division ordered to Knoxville is
the second and consists of the following
regiments: Thirty-first Michigan, LIST
Georgia, 9th Ohio, 18th Indiana, 5th
West Virginia, I'd Ohio, LIST Pennsyl-
vania, 14th Minnesota. The third divis-
ion, ordered to Lexington, consists of

sth Mississippi. 21st Kansas, 18th New
York, 9th Pennsylvania, I'd Missouri,
1st New Hampshire.

has been party to forcing an obnoxious
peace upon the country to which he is
to be accredited.
One of the names that finds universal
approval among persons versed i'm di-
plomacy is that of Mr.. Eustis, exam
bassador to France, whose staunch
Americanism, combined with diplomatic
knowledge and legal ability. are urged
as fitting him especially for appoint
ment as peace commissioner. The fact
that Mr.. Eustis is a democrat will not
initiate against his chances, as il is
presumed the president would rather
prefer to make the commission non-par-
tisan.
The naval officers have made up their
minds that peace is at hand and are
planning for a reduction of the naval
establishment to a peace basis. The
first step to be taken will be the retire.
ment of the monitors from active serv-
Ice. They are uncomfortable craft and
afford little opportunity for general
training. Another matter is the promo
tions to be accorded to officers who have
distinguished themselves during these
stirring times. step was taken in this
direction to-day by the submission to
the president by the secretary Of the
navy of the advancement of all of the
officers of SIMPSONS fleet who distin-
guished themselves. 1t was announced
some time ago that a board would be
appointed to decide on all promotions
to be recommended, but for some rea-
son this plan seems to have been aban-
doned so far as some of the chief Off
GERS were concerned.
General Merritt's force in the Philip
pines is to be increased by the 1000
troops now at San Francisco, which will
be sent as soon as the transports can
be secured. Secretary Alger said to-
day that 1000 troops would sail as soon
as possible The department has not
sufficient ships at hand at present to
send the remaining 5000 at once.
General Merritt will have a force of
$4,000 when those en- route all arrive at
Manila, and there is no hurry for the
remaining troops. The depaf sment has
had an offer of two ships to transport
the troops, but considered the price
asked excessive, and it is probable the
return of the transports that first went
to Manila will be awaited. The secre-
tary to-day cabled General Merritt,
asking him when it was expected the
transports would return to San Fran
cisco, and if they were likely to reach
that point within three weeks their re-
turn will be awaited as It will take at
least that much time to get new trans
ports in readiness to carry troops.
