ARSENIC In THE WATER.
by Alleged Spanish Spies to
Poison Soldiers.

ATLANTA, Ga, May 10-A special to the
Constitution from Mobile says: A second
dastardly attempt 10 poison the infantry
regiments at Camp Mobile has been made.
Several days ago some soldiers found in the
creek which runs alongside the grounds
sack filled with absorbent cotton, which
had been saturated with arsenic and tied
down beneath a rock which juts out into the
stream at a point just above the place
where the soldiers get their drinking water.
BY accident a trooper discovered the dead
ly trap, removed the sack and upon the
contents being revealed reported his find to
the commanding officer. Strict orders were
given not TO mention the incident and so
the matter was hushed up. Since that day.
however, the creek has been Gle ely watehed
and vigilance was rewarded when Corporal
John Sullivan, of Company A, Nineteenth
Infantry, found a poison bag loaded with
arsenic and anchored down just as in the
first instance. The correspondent by chance
overheard two soldiers talking about the
vestigation. The officers preferred not to
discuss the matter. but among the privates
feeling is running high and they don't fail
to express themselves. Spanish spies are
known to be lurking in the neighborhood
where q number OF Spaniards reside They
are all under strict scrutiny and sensational
disclosures are looked for. No one doubts
that agents of Spain are responsible.

AGREEMENT AS TO COREA.
MOdus Vivendi Between the Russian
and Japanese Governments.

TOXIC, May 10-It is announced in the
Official Gazette to-day that the Russian
and Japanese governments have agreed
upon a modus vivendi regarding Corea. On

two governments at Toxic signed proto-
col, the text Of which, as published in the
Gazette to-day, is as follows:
"First-Russia and Japan definitely recog-
nize the sovereignty and entire independ-
ence of Corea and mutually engage to re-
frain from all direct interference in the in
ternal affairs of that country.
Second-DeSirng to avoid every possible
cause of misunderstanding in the future,
Russia and Japan mutually engage, in case
Corea should apply to either of them for
assistance or advice, not to take any meas
ures in the nomination of military instruc-
tors or financial advisers without having
previously come to a mutual agreement in
the matter.
''Third-In view of the large development
of Japanese commercial and industrial en-
terprise in Corea, as well the consider
able number of japanese subjects resident
in that country, the Russian government
will not impede the development of COM
mercial and industrial relations between
Japan and Corea."

SOUTHLAND NEGLECTED.
Got None of the Army Staff Officers
Appointed by the President.

WASHINGTON, May 10.-There was
some discussion by the Senate in executive
session to-day because none of the nomi-
nations for staff officers in the army sent
in by the President yesterday were from
the South. Senator Money raised the ques-
ton when the reference of the nominations
was made, and Senators Bate, Bacon and
Lindsay all commented upon the fact Their
speeches were not in the nature of fault
finding, but the omission, they said was
patent to all. They also called attention
to the fact that the South had comparative
ly few officers in the regular army, and
rome Of high rank, owing to the effect, in
this respect, of the civil war, and said that
while the Southern States would be just as
loyal in the present war, whether they re-
ceived any of the Presidents favors they
would prefer to be treated in this matter
as were other sections of the country. Re-
plies were made by Senators Hoar, Carter
and Wilson. The last two stated that the
far western section of the country also had
failed to receive any recognition at the
hands of the President in the matter of
staff appointments. Senator Hoar said
there were still many other nominations
to be made, and while he made no claim to
be in the least the Presidents mouthpiece
he believed he would make an equitable
geographical distribution of the offices All
the nominations of staff officers were re-
ferred to the military committee.

saber for Roosevelt.

WASHINGTON May 1O.-Nr. Roosevelt
said farewell to-day to the officers and
clerks of the Navy Department. 1t is safe
to say that not one of the employees, from
the highest to the lowest, declined the in
vitation which was sent around to all the
bureaus to call at the assistant secretary's
Office and say goodbye to Mr. Roosevelt
There were many expressions of regret at
his departure and the whole affair was
lacking in that perfunctory character
which so often attaches to ceremonies Of
the kind. Some OF the employees of the de-
partments united in presenting to Mr.
Roosevelt a very handsome silver-mounted
saber, which he displayed with pride upon
his desk to all of his callers. The new lieu
tenant colonel will leave Washington for
San Antonio upon telegraphic advices from
Colonel Wood, commanding the regiment.
which are expected within day or two at
the latest.

WASHINGTON, May 1O.-War Depart
ment officials tonight authorized the state
ment that no orders have been issued 10
mastering officers directing them to accent
all regimental officers of volunteer troops
appointed by Governors of States, regard
less of physical disabilities. In few cases,
where Governors were particularly anxious
to commission certain officers who. ord-
narily, would be rejected on the ground Of
physical disability, the mastering officers
have been instructed to accept the services
of the officers; but in each case a special
dispensation has been required, and a spe-
cial notation of the disability has been made
for the benefit of the government Here
after it will be difficult for the officers so
accepted to secure a pension, as they will
have to show clearly that the disability for
which the pension may be asked was due
to their service in the present war. War
Department officials are very much averse
to the acceptance of any men or officers
who are not perfectly sound physically, and
the exceptions that have been made were
in face of the protests of the department.

LONDON, May 1.-THE Rome CORE
spondent of the Daily News, in the course
of dispatch, a large portion of which was
evidently suppressed by the censor, says:
THE problem is much wider and more deep
ly rooted than the question whether the
Cabinet is to remain or fall, or whether
this or that party is blamaple. The re-
sponsibility must be laid on the system
which, for a quarter of a century, has
ground down the country. The attack is an
attack upon the unity of Italy. Two Cabinet
councils were held to-day ard ministers
were unanimous in the resolution to stick
to their posts and continue the policy of re-
preston at all costs. Perfect calm prevails
here. but the patrols of troops continue and
all gunsmiths and cutters shops are closed
by special order"

plies for the equipment of the Cuban insur-
gents. did not start till o'clock this after

part, and as the boat steamed slowly away

boys in blue on her decks On board were
Companies E and G, Of the First Infantry,
with Captains J. ]. O'Connell and n. P.
Phister in command.
The command of the United States troops
at Tampa was to-day formally turned over
to Major General John F. Wade by Major
General Shafter in conformity with the or
ders received yesterday from Washington.
1t is stated on good authority, however,
that no change in the plans as regards the
movement OF troops from TINS point mt toWard
Cuba are contemplated. General Shafter, 1T
is said, will be in command of the army on
Cuban soil, and will direct the campaign
against Havana. By Thursday six of the
big government transports at Port Tampa
will be in readiness for actual loading of the
troops and horses. They have already been
fully supplied with coal and water. The

backed upon the tracks along the wharves
and the work of loading them on ship was
commenced. General Shafter spent most OF
the afternoon at the port inspecting the
work, which will continue night and day UNI
til completed. Tomorrow each transport

breaking of camp. Practically all their be-
longings except such things are absolute
ly necessary have been packed away, and
when the orders come but little will remain
to be done except to take down and load
into wagons the tents.
The mobilization of the state troops at
Tampa will commence tomorrow, and by
Thursday nearly thousand volunteers will
be ercamped here. They will camp on the
Fort Brook reservation. Major Williams, of
the fourth battalion, will be in command as
senior major until the colonel of the regi-
ment is appointed. 1t is expected that
Captain Woodruff, of the Fifth Infantry,
for the past five years state instructor of
troops as assistant adjutant general, will
be named.
The ordering to Tampa from Chicka-
regiments and all the infantry regiments
yet remaining there will swell the total
number of regulars at this point to over
12,G00 men, and with the state troops and
the Cuban volunteers IA, COO soldiers will be
