NEGRO TROOPS TO GO SOUTH.
Twenty-dfth Regiment of Infantry
Has Been Ordered to the Dry
TOrtugaH.

Washington, March 29.-By direction of
General Miles, commanding the army, or
ders were issued to-day for the transfer
Of the Twenty-fifth regiment Of infantry to
the Dry Tortugas. The fact that this reg
iment is made up of colored troops is re-
garded as quite significant. in showing the
purpose of the war department to concen-
trate colored troops in the vicinity of Cuba,
inasmuch as it is recognized that the negro
is better able to Withstand the Cuban cli-
other colored regiments in the army. Their
aggregate strength is 2.1SS. The regiments
are the Twenty-fourth infantry, all at Fort
Douglas. u. Colonel ]. F. Kent. command

ters at Fort Assiniboine. Mont, Colonel
Guy V. Henry commanding. The only
colored officer outside of chaplains is First
Lieutenant Charles Young. of the Ninth
Wilberforce university. The four coiored
chaplains are attached to the colored regi-
ments. The Twenty-fifth regiment Is now
located at Forts Missoula, Assinboine and
Harris, Mont, where they have been for
45O men in all. under the command Of Colo
mel A. S. Bird. The movement will begin
In about two weeks, and troops on arriving
at Tortugas will go into camp. there being
no barracks accommodations at that place
for them. 1t was announced some time ago
that the department would detail COM
pany of artillery to man the improved cali
ber guns which the ordnance bureau in
tends TO mount at Fort Jefferson. The
coiored troops upon their arrival. 1t is pre-
sumed, will be instructed in artillery prac-
cessity to assist the artillery company in
its work.

Wilmington and Baltimore. A member OF
the board said to-day, when asked wheth-
er or not the boards work was dragging
to a close, that daylight was beginning
to appear but there was a great deal
to be done. How long the work would
be continued. he said, depended upon the
complexion Of the situation
The board has examined not less than
seventy-five of the vessels of the Outside
class and of vessels serviceable for har-
Dor work such as are now gathering for
Commander Elmer's Mosquito fleet"
The rush Of tug and yacht owners to the
pcard room has all but ceased. Once it
became known that the board knew the
value Of the property it was to buy. a
member said, and was not disposed to
pay dollar more than a fair price, the
oners OF certain types Of vessels-partic-
uiarly OF tugs-fell Off, and the board was
saved much useless labor.
New York. March 29.-The activity in the
workshops and on the vessels in the Brook
lyn navy yard has not abated. Word was
received at the yard to-day from Washing
ton authorizing the enlistment of all desir-
able men for one year. There was a fairly
large crowd Of applicants at the receiving
ship Vermont to-day, but, as usual, only a
small percentage succeeded in filling all the
requirements.
strict rule has been enforced prohibit
itins any person not belonging to the navy
bringing a caller into the yard.
Sixty-five bluejackets, in command of En-
sign Jackson, arrived here to-day from the
Essex at Newport, R. /. A diver was at
work on the Texas, but at the construction
department 1t could not be ascertained Just
what are the injuries to the vessel. The
big dock on which the keel blocks have
been laid for the reception of the Texas
was flooded to-day.

PREPARATIONS FOR WAR.
Activity Continues, but There Ii Not
the Extreme Energy of
Last Week


Washington, March 29.-The army and
navy departments continue to show many
evidences Of activity, bur there is not the
extreme energy of preparation that was
evident last week. Captain Sigsbee had
several talks with Secretary Long during
the day. and at the close of office hours
the secretary accompanied Captain Sigsbee
| TO the White House and presented him to
the president. Mr.. Long says that no de-
termination has been reached thus far as
to Captain Sigsbee's next assignment. But.
as one Of the high officials Of the navy de-
partment remarked, the commander of the
wrecked battleship can have about any
thing he wants.
A board is considering what should be
done with the wreck of the Maine. At first
II seemed possible to save some part Of the
ship, and certainly the big guns and tur-
rets. But this has been about abandoned
and the board now sitting is expected to
report to Secretary Long in a day or two
on what final steps shall be taken. 1t is
probable that what remains of the wreck
will be abandoned.
The navy department made no further
purchases Of foreign ships to-day, although
the naval attaches abroad continue to make
inspection of ships at the several large
yards.
"A slgnlncant conference was held during
the day between representatives of the war
and navy departments to determine wheth-
er New Orleans. Mobile or Tampa was best
adapted as base Of operations. both mill
tary and naval. in the event Of war. The
representative of the navy was Captain
Barker, naval aide to Secretary Long, and,
for the army, Colonel Wagner. chief of the
bureau Of information Of the army These
officers were named last week as commits
sion to harmonize the action of the war
and naval branches. Their work Is not to
be confined to harmonizing the mere admin
istratiye routine. but takes much wider
scope, in anticipation of possible hostili-
ties. Their meeting to-day developed the
first important question for their deter
mination, that Of selecting the city on the
Gulf most suitable in case of war for ready
access to Cuba. The examination is par
tcularly directed toward ascertaining the
railroad facilities from all sections Of the
country leading to the points on the Gulf
named above. No determination has yet
been rached on the subject, as 1t Is but one
of number of important questions which
this commission will investigate.
Surgeon General Van Reypen. Of the navy,
has about completed the preliminary ar.
rangements necessary to the fitting out and
manning of a floating hospital ship for use
In case of war. He has several vessels in
mind which he believes well adapted for

APPRENTICES TO BE USED.
Boys to BE Graduated From q Train
ing Ship to Help Man War


Newport, R. l.. March 2s.-The govern
ment has arranged with the Powell COM
pany for the use Of the torpedo testing
station at Tiverton.
The training ship Alliance, which is here
for a detachment of apprentices, will sail
In about ten days. She will go down the
coast to Hampton Roads, and then cruise
about Chesapeake bay. so as to be in a
position to transfer her crews of boys on
short notice to fighting ships. The hur-
ried graduation of boys is on account of
shortage Of men on board the ships now
being rushed into commission.
Last night two seamen gunners were
qualified at the torpedo station ana will
at once go to the Mayaower.
The government has selected two of the
bay excursion steamers-the Mountain Hope
and the Day Star-for transport work in
case war is declared and these boats are
held subject to going into commission on
few hours notice.

WHAT WILL Be DONE?
Senate Committee to Meet To-day t.
Consider the Senate Cuban
HeSOlutiOus.

Senate Committee to Meet To-day to
Consider the Senate Cuban
Resolutions.
Washington, March 2s-Much interest IS
felt in the meeting Of the senate commit
tee on foreign relations. which is called fol
1O:30 q. m. tomorrow. to consider the va
rious resolutions introduced in the senate
to-day.
The only question Of doubt is whether
the committee will take action at its sitting
tomorrow. In view Of the records Of the
members Of the committee on the Cuban
question, and their present attitude, there
Is no uncertainty that their action will be
pronouncedly favorable to the Cubans.
1t Is too early to say what form as to
the phraseology the resolution to be report
ed Will take, but the members of the COM
mittee individually spoken with express
the opinion that it will declare for forcible
Intervention. Such is the purpose Of all the
resolutions introduced to-day, and the gen.
eral feeling is that any less radical action
would be Of no avail and devoid Of mean
Ing, in view OF the former action OF the
senate. The committee may accept the
form Of one OF the resolutions presented or
formulate q new one.
Senator Gray, Of Delaware, is the only
member Of the committee who did not vote
for the recognition Of belligerency and in
dependence when the resolutions for this
purpose were formerly before the commit
tee. but the fact Is recalled by other COM
mitteemen that at a recent meeting he
expressed the opinion that Intervention
would be necessary.
On the other hand, Senator Morgan ap-
pears to be disposed now to regard the
presidents wishes to the extent Of opposing
precipitate action without careful inquiry
beforehand. II the committee does not
reach conclusion tomorrow, 1t will be
asked to delay until something can be
agreed upon. 1t is considered possible that
the testimony before the Maine court may
be officially examined in committee before
action is taken and II this course is pur-
sued. 1t is not probable that one sitting will
suffice to reach a conclusion.
Others contend that the Maiue testimony
Is unnecessary to the consideration of the
real question at issue and that the resoIu-
tions should be taken up Immediately upon
the assembling of the committee
The senators favoring Intervention think
II they can secure prompt action by the
committee the senate will also take up the
question and dispose of it soon. but this is
by no means certain, as any resolution re-
ported Is almost sure to arouse considerable
debate.

can be obtained here. however. As Fort
Sill is sixty miles from a railroad such q
movement would necessarily be slow.

While Commander Schley Is busily en-

change of dress this morning, but the
Massachusetts, has only completed her up

til tomorrow noon. By that time it is
hoped the cruiser Columbia will have ar
rived to join the fleet. and she also will
have to be painted. The Columbia is re-
ported to Commodore Schley as being on
her way here. Everything will be COM
pleted by tomorrow night, 80 that the
squadron will be ready to move.
Commodore Schley said to-day that he
had received no official notification that
the yacht Mayfower had been designated
as his dispatch boat. He had written to
the department suggesting the assignment
of boat for that purpose, as matter Of
convenience. He was positive that 1t was
necessity, because the steam launches
were inadequate. especially II the squadron
should go into action.
The rumored completion Of the squadron
by the addition Of several monitors can.
not be confirmed. The fact is that moni-
tors would be absolutely valueless to such
squadron as this especially designated
for fast work, as they are the slowest Of
boats.
The Minneapolis will Join the feet this
week, in all likelihood. On the Brooklyn
to-day there were at least eighty appli-
cants for enlistment as sailors and
marines. Very few are accepted. although
about fifteen are needed, as the physical
examination is very severe.
The general impression of officers here
is that the new 06ior OF the warships. is
a great improvement The boats are now
uniform and look much smaller. Even
the guns are painted the dull lead color,
and 1t is difficult at any distance to locate
their position. Commodore Schley has not
received definite orders as to any future
movements Of the squadron. but win be
prepared within forty-eight hours to 90

quoted as saying, prior to his assuming
command, that he would like nothing bet
