No More Troops To BE Ordered Out of the
COuntry-Fred Grant sails.

Washington. Aug. 10-The interesting
feature of yesterdays news of the war
department was the cable from General
Miles stating that he did not need re-
Inducements, and advising that no more
troops be sent to Porto Rico. The eff
feet of this dispatch was to stop the
embarkation Of troops at Newport News
and to stop General Wade's corps from
sailing. The disposition of troops which
are not now needed for active service
al once was considered by the depart
ment officials. and the determination
was reached that there would be a gen.
eral movement from the larger camps.
Investigation of a number of places is
in progress with special reference to
the health of the camp and water sup
ply. Some regiments will be removed
at once and those which cannot he
moved probably will be ordered to pro-
ceed upon pratice marches. the object
being to scatter the troops as much as
possible and to relieve the several Camps
from the effects of concentration.
There are six brigades under the
cCmand of General Wade The First
brigade is composed of the First Rhode
Island, Fourth Missouri and Twenty
second New York; the Second brigade of
the First North Carolina, First Ala bama
and First Arkansas; the Third brigade
of the First New Hampshire First Yer
mont and Fifty-second Iowa; the Fourth
brigade of the First New Jersey. First
West Virginia and Third Virginia: the
Fifth brigade of the Second Texas First
Connecticut and First Delaware: the
Sixth brigade of the First Maine Third
Tennessee and First Maryland. None of
the troops under General Wades COM
mand have yet started. The DEPART
ment was not accurately informed yes
terday afternoon as to which of Viii
sons troops would be held up under
this new order. but it is believed the
Fifth Illinois. which has teen four times
disappointed by the revocation of orders
to the front. is among those which have
not yet gone on board the transports.

After months of Imprisonment, 'Big
Bill'' Mason was finally brought before
Judge Wiltbank in Court OF Quarter Ses-
sions No. !, Philadelphia, yesterday, for
trial.
Mason was arrested in New York city
in July last, and being suspected of hav..
ing some knowledge of the murder OF
Major Wilson, The aged Walnut street
librarian, he was turned over to the
Philadelphia authorities.
All efforts to connect Mason with the
murder were futile, but nevertheless he
was committed to prison to answer other
charges which were hanging over his
head in this city. These charges are con-
spiracy, larceny and administering a
drug with intent to commit a felony,
there being two indictments for each
charge covering distinct offences.
Besides Mason there are two other de-
PENDANTS, James Martin, alias "Reddy
the Gloucester" and Jack Fry, alias
"George Evans" The indictments We're
found over year ago, and the delay in
the trial was due to the fact that all three
