Troops EN- barking for Porto Rico.

Newport News, Va, August g.
Transport No. 80, formerly the Hol-
land American liner Obdam, arrived
here today from Old Point to take
supplies and troops to Porto Rico. The
work Of loading the ship was commenc-
ed Immediately after she tied up at
the wharf but the steamer will not
sail before Monday night or Tuesday
morning. When she leaves she will
have on board General Fred. D. Grant,
bis staff and the Fifth Illinois regi-
ment. The Illinois regiment suppressed
ed the Third Kentucky regiment in the
Third brigade, of which General Grant
is the commander. The order making
the change was published tonight. The
Illinois troops arrived here yesterday
morning from Chickamauga park, hav-
ing been attached to General Wade's
division. 1t was stated tonight that
the change was made on account of
sickness among the Kentucky soldiers.
Many of the men are suffering with
mumps and measles and the regiment
is not in condition to be moved. How
ever, the Third will go to Porto Rico
at later day. The remaining six
companies of the First Kentucky regi-
ment will embark for Porto Rico some
time next week, as will also the One
Hundred and SiXtieth Indiana.

ENGLAND AND RUSSIA
Greatly strained Relations Between
These eNatiOns-Englands Entire Navy
Under Orders.

Loudon, August G.-Cxtreme dplo-
matte tension exists between Sc. Pc
tersbur6 and London is generally ad-
mitted today, though the officials dep
recate the alarmist reports which
were current yesterday. 1t Is hoped
that the firmer stand adopted by the
marquis of Salisbury during the last
few days, which seems TO have already
created some misgiving at st. Peters
burg, will have the desired effect OF
arresting Russian aggressiveness. 1t
is felt both here and on the CONT
nent that the outcome Of the dispute
in regard to the new Chwang railroad
extension Is the cruical point OF the
success or failure Of Great Britains
policy of the open door"
AS evidence OF the fact that Great
Britain appreciates the gravity OF the
situation, the Associated Press learns
that the admiralty Is preparing for
all emergencies, that IL will soon be
ready to mobilize the entire fleet at
the shortest notice. Every officer and
man on furlough or on half pay has
been assigned TO a ship and instruct
ed to be in readiness TO join at the
earliest. Therefore, practically, every
ship in the British navy, whether in
or out of commission at the present
moment, has it's full complement OF Of
ficers and men, ready to take her out
to sea when the time arrives.
According to Paris advices Admiral
Bedolliere, commanding the French
China squadron, has cabled a demand
for reinforcements and for a large
credit TO be applied in erecting forti-
fications. The reason given for these
demands is that the natives OF the
Kwang Chou Wang region are show
ing signs OF hostility. But, there is
some suspicion here that the action
Of the French admiral may be con-
nected with a desire to back up Rus
sian designs.

lean people. 1t would be very crafty
ing to me to accept your invitation

the brave Lieutenant Richmond Pear
son Hobson, but it will be impossible
for me to do so, for as soon as the war
is ended it will be obligatory upon me
to return Immediately to Spain to ac-
count for my conduct which must be
judged as provided for by law.
Nevertheless, I shall not fail to
carry through all my life the remem-
brance of such brave officers as Lieu
tenant Hobson and also the flattering
invitation rendered me by the city Of
his birth.

Excuse for the New York Regiment at
Santiago.

Washington, August 6.-Secretary
Alger said today that the informa-
ton reaching him showed there were
extenuating circumstances in the case
of the troops of the Seventy first New
York regiment accused in General
Kent's report of not advancing
promptly to the attack on Santiago.
Men returning from Santiago told the
secretary of the irregularity amid the
noise and confusion of the opening Of
the engagement when the enemy was
directing a heavy fire against this
point of our lines and a number of
our troops carried black powder guns
instead Of the more serviceable krag-
Jorgensen. While the secretary does
not seek to justify the regiment, he
feels that they are entitled to have
their course viewed in the light of all
the adverse circumstances which op-
Grated against them at the time Of the
battle.
Speaking of the Porto Rico cam
paign, the secretary said that the en-
tire force there would be supplied with
Krag-JOrgensen guns or else smoke
less powder to use in such few Spring
fields as might be carried in connec-
ton with the Krag-Jorgensens. The
purpose, however, is to arm the ac
tive troops as rapidly as possible with
the high class modern arms.

The slur on the North Carolina troops
of the Second regiment, stationed at
Fort Mcpherson, by the Atlanta pa
pers, is not relished here at all. While
volunteers are not expected to know
as much as, nor be as we'll disciplined
as are the regular troops, still these
men must have been more fully up to
their duty than they are given credit
for. 1t must have been found that
they could not so we'll stand having
to serve side by side with the negro
troops and lest trouble should arise
We're relieved from duty at that point
and sent to ST. SimOns to their legit-
innate colOnel-W. S. H. Burgwyn.
The tobacco market opened we'll here

break and it is thought that several
million pounds of the weed will be
sold here this season.

The city Of Raleigh will get less tax
out of the railways this year than it
ever has, Notwithstanding the fact
that the railway commission increas-
ed the assessment on railway prop
erty several million. The property
here in Raleigh was assessed for less
than last year. The city authorities
are kicking and will bring the mat
ter to the attention of the commits
