MUST BE WHITE MEN.
Men Who Served the Coufederacy Desired to
 Officer the Negro.

Special Dispatch to The Age-1Ierald.
 Washington. May 26.-The officials in the war department have decided that the colored immune regiments to be raised in the south must be offlcered by white men. The negroes have been very insistent that the companies shall be allowed to retain their colored officers up to the rank of colonel.
 This point has given the authorities here much trouble, for the act that provides for the enrolment of immunes leaves the officers up to this rank to the election of the companies, not even giving the pow CT to the governors to appoint. But 1t also leaves the matter to the discretion of the ranking officer.
 The department said today that it would desire to see the colored companies elect white officers to command them and sug- gested that most of the officers might be found among men who had served in the confederate army, who were still young enough to bear the burdens of campaign life.
 Colonel H. H. Sargent. who will com mand the colored immune regiment to be raised in Alabama and Mississippi, will leave here early next week. He has not decided upon a place of rendezvous as yet, but may take Birmingham. Still he was unwilling, he said to say or commit himself to one place at present, and would not until he had surveyed the territory.

WANTS DAMAGES
For Alleged Injury to Property in Cutting
 Off Water Supply.

William A. Smith has entered suit in the city court against the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railway company for s10,OO0 damages for alleged injuries to his property.
 The complainant alleges that he owns property in the northwest quarter of the southeast quarter of section T. township z, range west, in Jefferson county; that the defendant wrongfully mined and carried away from the said land large quantities of coal, and that in mining same the defend- ant wrongfully deprived the surface of the said lands of proper support, which caused great cracks to appear, causing the rum ming. water and springs of said lands to dry up or nearly so, greatly damaging the crop which he tried to grow.
 He further alleges that the fruit trees on the land were also damaged and that the surface of the land was rendered lnse- cure and unstable and unfit for habita- tion.
 He also alleges that he was caused great mental anxiety on account of his family living on the land, and that he was com- pelled to haul water for his family and his stock a great distance by reason there of.

CANNON MADE 0F

 ing.

The patriotic employees of the Birming- ham rolling mill will have a flag raising Saturday afternoon at o'clock at which the first cannon made of Birmingham steel will fire a salute to "Old Glory" This marks a new era in the industrial develop ment of the Magic City.
 The cannon was constructed by Master Mechanic A. Jennette, of the rolling mills and will be preserved as a relic.
 An excellent programme has been ar ranged and the occasion will be a memora- ble one. Governor Joseph F. Johnston Mayor Frank V. Evans, President James G. Caldwell, of the company, and MT. Lease, former attorney general of Ne braska, will deliver addresses
 Chas. Eckart will give patriotic recita- tion and Chase's band will discourse a melody of Yankee Doodle" Dixie" and other patriotic airs.
 Superintendent E. L. Bridges will act as master of ceremonies and proposes to see the thing well done.
 special invitation is extended to the board of aldermen police commission, board of education, the press and the pub lie to be present.
 The employees of the rolling mill have arranged to serve refreshments and it is needless to say that patriotic enthusiasm will run high.
 The flag is a beautiful specimen and will be surmounted by streamer as it rises to the top of the pole a salute will be fired and the locomotive and mill whistles will shout to the banner of freedom in their lOudeSt tOneS

 Attorney Meade for the defense, at tinued until June 8.
 MT. Mingea walked from the jail to the court room in custody of a deputy sheriff. He wore a neat suit of black clothes. He met many of his friends, shaking hands every act seemed to dispute the insinua- ton that the defense intended to resort to the insanity plea. It is understood that the defense will stand out for absolute innocence and claim that the shortage can be accounted for. Attorney Meade was quoted as saying yesterday that the $316 upon which the main warrant is is sued can be accounted for.
 The Actual Shortage
 The actual shortage of MT. Mngea Is said by the auditors to be something like s2,300. It is claimed that 5000 of this is divided up into small amounts. He kept a receipt book and the amounts on the stubs are all small, but aggregate some thing like $2,000.
 Solicitor Brown contends that each one of these amounts must be treated separ-

Y. M. C. A. MASS MEETING.
Big Preparations Beng Made for This Event
 Next Sunday Afternoon.

A big rehearsal of the chorus of one musical programme of the Young Men's Christian association mass meeting to be held in the auditorium next Sunday after noon. was held in the parlors of the as- sociation last night. Special musical feat ures, as well as the whole musical pro- gramme, are being looked after by Har- ry Lyon, Harry Burn and w. b. Smith, the committee on music. Prof. E. Gucken- berger will be the director.
 As has been explained in The Age-Her- aid before, this meeting is in the inter- est of the Young Mems Christian asso- citation secretaries, who will accompany the soldiers, both volunteer and regular to the front. The war department has sanctioned this movement and has given orders that the Young Mems Christian association tents and other baggage indi- cated by the secretary shall be trans ported along with other army baggage, free of charge. But the secretaries who are to go to the front with the troops are not enlisted men and must pay their own expenses.
 Already good work has been done in the Mobile camps, and it is proposed to send one secretary with each regiment if pos sible The appointment of Secretary A. c. Harte, of the Mobile association, as chaplain of the Second regiment will aid greatly in this work. Captain Harte will in all probability be in Bfrmlng- ham next Sunday to attend the meeting.
 The local committee is sparing no pains to make a success of the meeting. w. J. Montgomery, of Loveman, Joseph & Loeb, has the matter of decorations for the auditorium in hand. Prof. William P. Taylor has been appointed chairman of the committee on cshers and will select fifty men to handle the crowds on that occasion

The governor has offered the captaincy of this company to James Shelley, the first lieutenancy to John Porter and the second lieutenancy to Vim. M. Walker, all of this city. These gentlemen have all had mli- tary training. and they are officers that any Company, white or black, might be proud to serve under. But as all of them are connected with the cavalry regiment. they felt compelled to decline the governors offer, at least until some disposition was made of that regiment. They, however, will assist in the organization of the company, and will be at the meeting tonight to point out to the company the advantages of serving under men who have had military training.

PROBLEM OF MORE VOLUNTEERS

The most interesting question in the mill tary circles of Alabama tday is where are the 1,50O vlunteers which Alabama must raise under the last call of the president to come from.
 A number of men prominent in military affairs were seen yesterday, and all of them agreed that the only way they saw for rais- ing this additional number was for the government to accept the proffered serv- ices of the cavalry regiment. They say that Alabama has been drained dry of infantry volunteers, but that a regiment, f,s00 men of cavalry. can be raised very readily. Even after the cavalry regiment Is accepted there

quite intimately associated with him who maintain that he was a victim of specu- iation. They give various incidents that occurred before and after the case was given light in proof of their assertion.
 Another reason little credited is that he was mentally unbalanced. It Is not be- lieved that MT. Mingea would allow this plea to be made.
 Further efforts will be made today to get bond for the former clerk.
