Montgomery, April 27.-The adjutant-
generals office is the storm center for
news whcih is not yet forthcoming.
Colonel Lyon has heard absolutely moth
ing from Washington further than what
has already been printed in the newspa-
pers.
However, he is flooded with letters from
every section of the state offering to raise
companies to go to the front.
Reports from Gadsden, Birmingham, De-
catur, Bessemer and Dadeville would indi-
cate that the troops at these places are
now on war footing and are ready to
move at a moments notice.
Who Pays for Transportation?
One trouble seems to be that the state
authorities are not informed as to where
the troops are to be mustered into the SER
vice of the United States government. 1t
is understood that Mobile has been desig-
mated the point of mobilization but who
defrays the enormous expense OF moving
$500 men to that city?
1t is learned that Governor Johnston will
keep an eye on that, and Will endeavor to
see that Alabama does not pay cent
out of the treasury for moving the troops
to Mobile. That, it is said, accounts for his
seeming slowness in making any statement
as to what the military can expect In
fact, there is not one dollar of appropriation
for that purpose. The governor expects to-
day letter from Washington defining
clearly what is expected Of him when the
troops are called upon for final enlistment.
