MILES WILL GO TO CUBA
To Direct Military Operations Another

To Direct Military Operations Another
Expedition to Start From Tampa.
WASHINGTON. Miles, in
command of the army, will go to Cuba,
accompanied by his staff, and direct
the military operations in the field. 1t
is thought there are no emergencies to
require an immediate start, as General
Miles has the fullest confidence in
General Shafter, who is conducting
the advance on Santiago, and this con-
fidence is shared by the president and
secretary of war.
For that reason General Miles move
ment will not be for the purpose OF as
suming the direction of the assault on
Santiago, as that movement is likely
to be we'll advanced by the time he
leaves.
There are other important military
movements requiring attention here,
including the preparations for further
expeditions, which will go by way of
Newport News and Tampa, Fla.
Tampa is again to be made the rem
devious for large force, and the de-
partment is securing complete details
with view to centering another large
feet of transports there. With the
troops moving to these points and the
expedition we'll advanced, General
Miles will then be free to join the
army in the field.

THE FIRST ALABAMA
LEAVES FOR THE FRONT.

Great Enthusiasm Prevailed Among the
TROOPS VIII Probably Form
Part of Shafter's Army.
Friday afternoon the First Alabama
regiment left Mobile for Miami, Fla,
and no doubt in short time, possibly
fortnight, will form a part OF Skaters
army at Santiago, or somewhere IN
that neighborhood. Up to date ten
regiments have moved out of Mobile
to the front, eight of the regular army
md two volunteers.
Colonel Higdon's gallant command
made the eleventh and of the whole. lot
none displayed as much enthusiasm
upon leaving as did these North Ala
bamians.
At 5 O'Clock tents were struck and
heavy baggage loaded with mules and
wagons on long freight trains. This
task was completed in short order and
at noon the first section pulled out IN
charge of Captain Wallace, OF Decatur
The Birmingham battalion, under
Major Smith, and portion OF Major
McLad's battalion followed. The re,
mainder, Major Kyle's section, carried
Colonel Higdon, Lieutenant Colonel
Med onald and staff.
Great enthusiasm prevailed, cheer
being answered by cheer, and as the
trains pulled out the chorus I'VE are e
the Alabama Boys Who Fear No Harm,
came from the coaches, at every window
of which appeared smiling, tanned

AT CHICKAMAUGA.

Number of Troops Stationed There
Greater Than Ever Before.
CH1cKAMAuGA PARK The command
has grown rapidly during the last few
days, and there are now more troops
in camp at Chickamauga Park than at
any time since the mobilization OF the
troops began. Captain Rockwell,
chief of ordnance department, after
some calculation, estimated the num-
ber at $4,000. His records show
that he has handled for distribution IN
the command about 81 900 rifles. He
still lacks 15, 900 rifles for the soldiers
in the camp. The number OF soldiers
is being increased on an average oil
more than thousand day by the
arrival of recruits.

Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making better
article than your competitor if you
cannot get a better price for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference in
the price the public will buy only the
better, so that while our profits may
be smaller on a single sale they will be
much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought promin-
emily before the public both are GER
tain to be tried and the public will
very quickly pass judgement on them
and use only the better one.

Suit Entered.

Suit has been instituted in the dis
trict court by Mrs. Van Bell against
the AtchisoD, Topeka q Santa Fe rail
road for $50, UO0, for Tic killing of Ler
son in the Santa Fe yards in this city
a few weeks ago. 1t will be remem-
bered that in one Saturday morning
Ed. Van Bell, who was en-
ployed as switchman in the yards,
in attempting TO cut off five cars for
the house track, was killed instantly.
How it happened is a question. Some
say that he slipped and fell to the
ground, others say that his foot was
caught in the guard rail, while the en-
gineer says that the last he saw of him
he gave n signal to back up and went
in between the cars to cut them of.
When Van Bell was discovered under
the wheels the air on the cars which
he was trying to uncouple was not dis
connected aud that leaves room for the
supposition that he attempted to dis
connect the air while standing on, the
bumpers and fell of.
MIR. and Mrs. Van Bell feel tie loss
of their son greatly as he was consider
ed the main stay OF the family.
