Possibly Uncle Sam Wishes 10 Be Ready
for Further Spanish Trouble.
HAS SPAIN RECEIVED ADD
An Intimation That She May Have
Obtained Some Sort of Coalition
with European Powers to BHcb
Her Pretensions at Paris.

WASHINGTON, November 16.-Thero
War Department for several days, In the
way OF preparing troops for service in
lands beyond the United States. An os-
der has been issued, directing at least
ten regiments of the regular army. now
stationed I'm Northwestern forts and posts.
to hold themselves in readiness for ins-
mediate transportation and service In
tropical climates. Most of these regi-
ments were sent to the northern and
western posts a few weeks ago. for re-
cuperation. after their Cuban campaign.
While holding themselves ready for SER
vice, these regiments win now be re-
cruted TO their fun strength. Nothing
is said officially as 10 what the present
activity means, but there are several
reasons. 1t is believed that an early
movement to cuba is intended-one some
what earlier than has been generally be-
lieved heretofore
Another belief entertained is that the
United States Government desires 10 be
in a position to meet any conditions tnat
may bIoM Out VI lit HiubAib l'h't hSB'-
tlations, and to be I'm readiness II spain
refuses to accept the terms the American
Peace Commissioners offer. In this con-
nection an intimation has got about TO
the effect that during the delay which
has occurred Spain has been able TO form
some sort of coalition with European
Powers, to back the pretenslcns she mas
been making in the negotiations.
TO REPLACE COLORED TROOPS.
Another reason given for the proposed
movement of the regulars 10 Cuba Is THAI
they are 20 replace regiments which have
given some trouble and have created dis
turbances, the last now being reported
from General Woods command In SAN
tiagO province. 1t may be that some of
the regular regiments are destined 10 re-
place volunteers who have been pleading
TO be sent home
An interesting feature of the matter ~
the refusal of the United States authorl-
ties 10 order the muster-out Of the volun-
teers who recently returned from Porto
homes and given sixty days furlough,
but contrary TO the plan heretofore fol-
lowed, they We're not allowed TO be mus
tered out OF the service.
As TO the ten regular regiments, every
department of the government has been
directed TO prepare supplies for them, and
TO arrange transportation as soon as they
are ordered to move.

THEY REFUSED TO DRILL.
Trouble In Company M-PromOtions
In Company II.

The men Of Company NJ. Second Regi-
ment. quartered at the Regimental
Armory, refused to drill when ordered
out yesterday morning. and 1t was some
time before they could be induced 10 obey
the command of their officers.
First-Lieutenant Fairlamb, who is in
command of the company. ordered the
men out for the usual morning drill. He
was surprised beyond measure when they
refused to go.
I The men were not backward in stating
their grievance. They claimed that rum
Der of the members OF the company who
reside In Richmond were excused from
drill and from guard duty, making the
work fall much heavier upon those who
we're not so favored. They wished to show
their disapproval of what they thought
unfair treatment. The best way in which
they could do so seemed to be that which
was adopted.
IL was explained to them by Lieutenant
Fairlamb that the men who were thus eX-
cused were engaged in business here;
that they were allowed 10 engage in their
usual occupations because it seemed a
hardship TO them TO keep them idle when
their callings needed them.
But the men were not satisfied, and IL
was not until Captain Bossieux, acting
major OF the battalion, arrived and ad-
dressed them that they agreed TO turn
out. Captain BossieuX made them see
the seriousness of their offence, and read
To them several Of the Articles Of War
relating to the punishment of mutiny.
They gave in, and soon were tramplng
out at the door on the way 10 the streets,
where they executed the usual morning
drill.
1t has been found necessary 10 guard
the Armory closely after breakfast in or
der TO keep the men from slipping out TO
avoid drill. Even the coal-hole has 10 be
guarded
Second Sergeant w. III. Bowes and
Third Sergeant Edwin Cooke, Of Company

Sergeants John c. Weckert and ieo-ge
n. Wilson, respectively. New corporals
