General Grant Embarks.

NEWPORT NEWS. Aug. 9-GeneraI Fred
D. Grant, his staff and the remaining six
companies of the First Kentucky Regiment.
Colonel Castleman commanding, embarked
tonight for Porto Rico on the transport
Alamo, and the steamer is expected to sail
after midnight. The transport obdam will
leave some time tomorrow with the Fifth
Illinois Regiment on board. in command of
Colonel Culver. 1t is not known whOn the
other troops will embark, probably not at
all.
General Grant is in command of the Third
Brigade of the First Division Of the First
Army Corps, but only two regiments of his
command will be landed in Porto Rico-the
First Kentucky and the Fifth Illinois. Col
onel James Hamilton Lewis did not accom-
pany General Grant, having received or
ders to-day to remain here to inspect provi-
sions for the troops and look after the camp
ing grounds. 1t was learned to-day that a
quantity of meat and canned goods were
condemned by the inspectors.

NO MORE TROOPS NEEDED.
General Wadc's Six Brigades Will
Nn4 Go to Porto Rfcn.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 9.-The interesting
feature of to-day's news of the War De-
partment was cablegraha from Gen Miles
stating that he did not need reinforcements,
and advising that more troops be sent
to Porto Rico. The effect of this dispatch
was to countermand the embarkation of
troops at Newport News and to stop Gen
Wade's corps from sailing. The disposition
of troops which are not now needed for az
tive service at once was considered by the
officials and the determination was reached
that there would be a general movement
from the larger camps. Some of these
troops will be sent north, where they will
be in a cooler climate and stationed at
camps which are under consideration but
which have not yet been definitely selected
Investigation of a number of places is IN
progress with special reference to the
health of the camp and water supply. 1t is
believed by the authorities that good water
will go a long way toward maintaining the
healthfulness of the troops Some regiments
will be removed at once and those which
cannot be moved probably will be ordered
to proceed upon practice marches, the OBJ
ject being to scatter the troops as much as
possible and to relieve the several camps
from the effect of concentration. The belief
is now general among the officials of the
War Department that concentration in
large camps and comparative inactivity, to-
gether with the failure of troops to take
rigid precautions, as advised by the medical
department, has been the cause of so much
sickness in the various camps. 1t is stated
that one reason why concentration has been
allowed to continue, and no orders issued
for the practice marches was that the
troops might be expected to be called for
in short time for service in the field AS
this is no longer probable, orders are ex-
pected to be issued very soon which will
move many of the troops and spread them
about the country in new camps or upon
practice marches.
There are six brigades under the command
of General Wade. The First Brigade Is
composed OF the First Rhode Island, Fourth

VENGEANCE OF A MOE
TWO COLORED WOMEN AND THREE
BLACK MEN HANGED TO TREES,
And Mrs. j. II. Orr Dead In Her Cell
from POisOn-OutcOme of an Ar
kansas Assassination.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Aug. 10.-The bod
les of five colored people-two women and
three men-are hanging from the limbs of
trees near the railroad track and the widow
of John T. Orr is dead in her
cell. This is the tragic denoument
of the assassination of John T.
Orr, a wealthy merchant at Clarendon,
few nights ago. The wife died from a dose
of poison, self-administered, while the ne
groes, her associates in crime, were strung
up by a mob of citizens. The report of the
lynching was received here at an early
hour this morning, after telegraphic COM
:nunication had suspended for the night,
and the only authentic details of the affair
came from railroad telegraph operator at
Clarendon, who saw the lynching. Four
bodies, two women and two men, are hang
ing from the limb of a tree not far from his
office, and a few PAGES away bangles the
body of another negro woman, the former
cook in the Orr household. Miss Morris,
the Jewess implicated in the assassination,
was not hanged, she having disappeared
last night. The lynched are:

in the arrest of the five negroes and Mrs.

charged that the wife had hired the negroes
to do the murder. Orr's life was insured

WASHING 4, Aug. 9.-Contrary to ex-
pectations. the reply of Spain to the Amer
the President to-day in time to be consid-
cred at the Cabinet meeting. Late this aft
ernoon M. Cambon personally took the
Spanish answer to the White House and
conferred with President Mckinley for an
hour and ten minutes. Announcement was
made by Secretary Day this evening, on the
retirement of the French ambassador, that
nothing would be given out about the reply.
This statement stimulated instead of
stopped speculation as to the contents of
that document. The conclusion has been
jumped at by many that because the reply
is very long one, and because an official
statement was not made Immediately on it's
receipt, that it is not satisfactory to this
government. This theory is strengthened
by the publication of apparently inspired
dispatches from Madrid saying that Spain's
acceptance of President McKinley's terms
of peace was coupled with a number of pro-
visions, and intimating that further nego-
tiations would be necessary before the two
governments could agree on preliminary
basis for a cessation of hostilities. That is
50 thoroughly the Spanish way of doing
things that no surprise was occasioned on
the reading of the cablegrams. Up to the
time of it's receipt at the White House the
President had no official or semi-oficial
reply. The President himself and three
members of the Cabinet made the specific
statement this afternoon that all they knew
about it and all they had heard about it
was what they had seen in the newspapers.
Whether these alleged forecasts were based
on authoritative information or were mere
IL speculative they had no means of know
ing. The facts will probably be given to the
public tomorrow, and at this very close
range guessing is worse than useless.
The President called a special meeting of
his Cabinet tonight to listen to and discuss
the reply. Secretaries Day, Alger and Bliss,
Postmaster General Smith and Attorney
General Griggs were present. The session
lasted from 8 o'clock to 1880. Not one of
the Presidents ministers would say a word
about the reply or the decision reached
