TROOPS FROM THE WEST.
six Hundred Men Now on Their Way

Atlanta, Ca, April 1.-THE movement OF
United States troops to Key West has be-
gun. Six hundred men and officers are
on the way now from Western posts to
the South
The railroads leading from Chattanooga
to Florida have been asked by Col Simp-
son. ouartermaster of the Southern de-
partment. to submit bios for transporta-
lion of these troops, and to-day the pas
senger men of the Western and Atlantic
and Southern roads were preparing to
submit bids for the business.
The first movement will comprise three
companies of 140 officers and men. These
companies will go through to Key West
Immediately upon their arrival at Chatta-
nooga without stopping at the Chickamau-
ga camp. These three companies will come
through Atlanta Thursday night, going to
Key West for duty at that place. They
will be followed by other troops almost
Immediately These companies come from
Montana and forts in the far Northwest,
and nearly all are negroes.
The Western railroads are now hauling
nearly 600 soldiers from Fort Missoula and
other Western posts in this direction, and
these men will probably stop at Chicka-
manga for a short time, unless hostilities
break out sooner than expected and they
are rushed through to the sea coast at
once. 1t is expected that the army depart
ment will soon ask for bids for the trans
portation of other companies aside from
those already mentioned. The 900 Western
troops carry about $4,000 pounds of bag

rear platform of the car and invited Gen.
Lee to come over to the Phoenix Hotel,
where preparations had been made to re-

too limited to go far and the committee
then prevailed upon him TO leave the car
and accompany them to the street in front
of the hotel. Gen. Lee responded quickly
and made his way through the throng to
as he passed, but the committee halted
and the Waycross Rifles cleared the way.
The military formed line and prevented
the people from approaching the General
except in single file. The ladies' were eager
to shake the Generals hand first, but they
started at the end of the line and were
compelled to go around the crowd and
come down the line. Gen. Lee shook hands

FAVOR RECOGNITION ONLY.
Georgia Delegation Opposes Policy
of Intervention.

"eOrSia Delegation Opposes Policy
of Intervention.
Washington, April 1.-THE members of
the Georgia congressional delegation held
an informal conference this afternoon and
talked over in general way the policy
which they thought should be pursued by
Congress in its action upon the Presidents
message and the matters involved in it.
1t was an altogether informal talk, but 1t
was found that the members of both the
Senate and the House were unanimous en-
these two propositions:
First, that there should be no surrender
on the part of Congress to the President
of powers delegated to Congress by the
constitution.
Second, that the proper policy for Con-
gress to pursue is recognition of Cuban in
dependence.
The conference was held in the room of
the White House committee on naval af-
fairs
Congressman Lester, as the oldest mem
Der of the delegation In point of service,
was asked to preside, and every member
was present with the exception of Con-
gresham Howard, who was detained at
committee meeting.
Senators Bacon and Clay and each of the
members of the House expressed their
views at some length.
AS whole the Georgia delegation Is not
for war If war can be averted. They are
all, however, in favor of the recognition of
Cuban independence, and they believe that
any action which Congress may take
should be based upon recognition.
1t was the idea generally expressed that
two propositions will be before Congress.
One of these will call for armed interven-
ton on the line of the Presidents mes
sage, and will probably be so worded as to
leave the decision of when such inter-
vention should be put In force in the
hands of the President 1t is understood
that the majority report from the House
committee on foreign affairs will take this
shape unless the Republicans of the Sen
ate committee take the initiative in the
shape of vigorous action. The minority
report, which the Democrats will present,
will call for the recognition of Cuban in
dependence.
Senator Bacon says: 81 do not agree
with the recommendations in the message.
l am opposed to any action whatever that
does not have the independence of Cuba
as its basis. l think the only solution l
can see to the present complications is to
be found in the recognition of the indie
pendence of the present Cuban republic
government, in this way to give them our
moral support and let them fight out their
own battle. believe if that is done the
war will end in six months, or the country
will not be involved in war at all. If war
does come in consequence of our recogni-
ton it will come from declaration of
war by Spain and not by u.s. We are in
a position where we must do something,
and to recognize the republic is the best
course for us to pursue.

WAR TALK RUINOUs TO BUSINESS
Brunswickians Don't Like the Tone
of the Message.

Brunswick, Ca, April 11.-To-day's war
news in Brunswick was heralded out by
bulletins through the Morning News cor
respondent, the Brunswick Times and an
extra issued by the Call. Great excite
ment prevails In the community. The bus
mess element clustered around the boal DIS
for hours, and discussed the situation.
From such information as was gained
from all sources the concensus of opinion
here is that the Spaniards have the hest
of this government to date. The foreign
policy of President Mckinley is character

Universal regret was expressed that the
Maine disaster was so lightly death with.
In the crowd there were murmurings
which suggested the burning of President

Fencing promises to become more and

The authority for this statement is Mr.

just now taking part in series of brilliant

given rather an International aspect to
some of the bouts.

blage, and, this done, the President joined
his family at lunch with evident salts
faction at having the tremendous strain
and burden OF recent days in a measure
removed. There was an aspect of holi-
day gaiety surrounding the White House,
as Easter Monday was observed as usual
by the egg rolling gathering of thousands
of children in the grounds at the rear of
the executive mansion. The Marine Band
furnised music for the youngsters.
The Spanish minister, Senior Polo re-
manned at the legation during the day.
sending and receiving many dispatches and
comforting with his advisers. He cabled
the entire Presidents message to Madrid,
except the historical references to Gen.
Grants message, Texas, etc.
The minister said he must decline to
make the slightest public alluson to the
Presidents message, as any remark from
him would be inconsistent with his posi-
ton. 1t Is known, however, that Senior
Polo is keenly sensitive to the language
Of the message. What Its effect will be
upon his service here is not known, for
no word has yet come as to the effect of
the message upon the authorities at Mad
rid. Up to tonight Senior Polo had re-
ceived no Instructions to withdraw, nor
was there any intimat ton of such instruc-
tons.
At the other embassies and legations the
message aroused the greatest interest, but
it cannot be said that it was received with
satisfaction.
In other high diplomatic quarters some
question was expressed as to that portion
of the Presidents message In which he
speaks In the name of civilization of the
duty of stopping the war in Cuba, and the
intimation was made that the great pow
ers of Europe, so far as they represented
civilization, did not support this view ex-
pressed by the President.
There has been no further general con-
ference between the ambassadors and min
listers of the powers, nor Is there any pres
ent indication of further action from that
quarter.
No new diplomatic phases Of the question
developed to-day at the state department.
Secretary Sherman said he would not
be surprised If the Madrid cable reports
proved true that Minister Woodford was
about to leave Madrid. At the same time
the state department was without advices
that the step actually had been taken.
Gen. Lee is en- route here, and IL is cx-
pected that his arrival will be the signal
for a notable demonstration.
The war and navy departments continued
their active preparations to-day. While
eventualties are being prepared for the
sentiment In army and navy circles Is that
war is not so imminent as it seemed 20 be
few days ago. 1t can be stated on au-
thority that no consideration mas yet been
given to the withdrawal of the United
States fleet at Key West, as the admins
tration holds that the situation has under
gone no change which makes this with
drawal necessary or advisable.
