EUGENE SERIOUSLY ILL.
The Ex-Empress of France May Be
 Nearing fhe End.

Paris. Aug. 15-Ex-Empress Eu- genie is reported to be seriously ill.
 Eugenie. ex-empress of the French and widow of Louis NapoIeon, Is the daughter of Dcna Maria Kirkpatrick of Colseburn, Dumfriesshire, countess dowager de Montijo, whose father was English consul at Malaga at the time oe her marriage with the Count de Montijo, an officer in the Spanish army. On the death of the Coun; de Montijo, his widow and two daughters were heirs to fortune. One of the daughters married the duke of Alba and Berwick.
 Eugenie, the Countess Teba, in 1851, accompanied by her mother, paid a visit to Paris, where at entertainments given at tEe Tuileries she was distin- Suished by the dignity Of her demoanor and by great personal beauty of aris- tocratic English rather than Spanish style.
 Shortly after the opposition Of the higher northern powers had prevep ted the union between Napoleon III and the Princess Carola Wasa, of Sweden the emperor informed the council Of ministers of his intended marriage with the daughter of the Counles- de Mcnt1Jo. The measure eSGIleo some disapproval and led to their temporary withdrawal from office The Countess Teba and her mother took up their abode in the palace of the Elysee. The marriage, however, was celebrated with much eclat on January 29. 1853. at Notre Dame, the empress then be- ing in her twenty-seventh year.
 On March 26, 1856, she became the mother of an heir to the house of Bonaparte. When war was declared between France and Germany, and the emperor Napoleon took the field, the empress on July 27, 1870, was appoint ed regent. At the close of the revolu- tion in Paris. on September 4, of that year she escaped from France, land ing five days later at Ryde, in the Isle of Wight, shortly afterward joining the prince imperial at Hastings. Cam den House, Chislehurst, was selected as a residence by the imperial exiles. In the following year the empress went to Spain on visit to her mother. Napoleon III died at Chislehurst, Jan uary g, 1873. In 1879 the prince i'm perial was killed in the Zulu war. His body was taken to England and was buried at Chislehurst. The following year, on the anniversary of her sons death, the empress went to Zululand to visit the fatal spot where he lost his life. In 1881 she removed from Cam. den house to the Farnborough estate in Hampshire, close to the borders of the county of Surrey

TOPORT0 RICO
ORDERS ISSUED BY WAR DEPART
MENT REGARDING MOVE
MONT OF SOLDIERS.
Officials at Washington Say 1t viii Be
Necessary to Reorganize the Army
Efforts Made to Secure Muster
ing Out of Regiments Cause
Trouble.

Washington, d. c., Oct. 3.-The wan
department has decided to send more
troops to Porto Rico.
Orders have been issued directing
that the Fifth regiment cavalry, o at
Huntsville, Ala; the Sixth United
States volunteer infantry, now at
Chickamagua, and the Forty-Seventh
New York, now at Fort Adams, shall
proceed to such point in Porto Rico as
may be desired by the commanding
general in that island.
The Eighth United States volunteer
infantry and two companies of the In
diana colored volunteers. now at Fort
Thomas. KY, will relieve the Sixth
volunteer infantry at Chickamauga.
All the troops at Camp Meade will
socn 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. 1t is expected
that the troops sen to garrison duty
in Cuba will net remain long, but when
they have seen service fer a month will
return to this country. The same is
probably true as to Porto Rico.
1t is also intimated 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-
SEEMING the new possessions.
This determination is no doubt due
to pressure that has been brought by
members of congress for the mastering
out OF The volunteers from their states
and districts. The responsibility for
furnishing troops for garrison duty and
fer army duty generally will be upon
congress.
Although there has been less pres
sure for the mastering out of volun-
teers since the announcement was
made that the troops could not be
spared, the demand continues with
sufficient persistence to convince the
war officials that a reorganization of
the army will be necessary, and that
some arrangement will have to be made
to secure a force for garrison service
in the islands and the states, which
will not be subject to the same Difficult
ties experienced in the case Of the vol
unteers.
Although the pressure for mastering
out of entire regiments is not so great,
the demand for the discharge of in
dividuals has overwhelmed the depart
ment. There is scarcely a senator or
representative who has not presented
requests of this kind. and there is a
constant demand for the discharge of
one man or another upon some pre-
text, which would be deemed valid in
the case of men in the regular army.
These requests and the demands
for mastering IL have no doubt had
their effect in making the wal officials
seek some more satisfactory method of
army organization for the purpose
which the army will be needed in the
future.
The troops which have been ordered
to Porto Rico will relieve a like num-
Der of regiments O en- the island,
the organizations to be designated by
General Brooke.
