FUSED 10 allow his to inspect the aninas.

Company move the cars without inspection
After some delay this was done and now the
live stock board is after the railroad COM
pany.

to inspect cattle that are destined for Kan

BROOKE WANTS A BIG FORCE.
Anxious to Take 10000 Men From

Porto Rico.

General Brooke and Colonel William Rich
ards. adjutant general OF the First corps,
who went to Washington 10 confer with
Secretary Alger upon the proposed Porto
Rican expedition. returned to Camp Thom-
as at 10 O'Clock this morning.
General Brooke declined 10 be interviewed.
preferring that nothing official shall be said
until orders are issued. The plans for an
important movement OF troops from Camp
Thomas are, however. progressing. Colo
mel Lee, chief quartermaster. was in con-
sultation with 4 number of railroad men
this afternoon, hurrying as rapidly as pos
sble the arrangements Of transportation
1t was learned from excellent authority
this evening that it is the earnest desire
of General Brooke that the entire First
corps form the expeditionary force going
from here. This would mean a departure
from Chickamauga of about 3O.0J1 volun-
teers.
The inference is that the war department
is considering whether or not It will be
necessary to draw so heavily upon the
forces at Camp Thomas, II being a question
as to whether 20 many men would be need
ed in addition 10 the regiments now under
orders 10 go from other points. The minute
this point is settled. it would be definitely
cluded in the force
Advices are expected from WASHINGTON at
once and upon their receipt it is probable
that immediate orders will be issued to
begin the movement.
There is still some question as TO whether
the corps will go as organized There are
some fine regiments in the Third corps
that are thoroughly drilled and equipped.
and it is not improbable that some Of these
will be included in the force, being substi-
tuted for regiments that have all along
been identified with the First corps. Col
onel Hartsuff. chief surgeon. said to-day
that the medical department of the First
corps had all the supplies of every nature
necessary for the expedition about to be
entered upon.
THE troops that go out added Colonel
Hartsun. will go equipped completely, not
lacking in any essential feature"
Colonel Rockwell handed out for distri-

Nothing has been heard to indicate that
any of the Second corps has been selected

many here that the transfer of troops to

WATsoN's VISIT TO SPAIN.
London Chronicle Thinks 1t VIII Do
Americas Cause More Harm

Anerica's Cause More Harm
Than Good.
LONDON. July a--The Daily Chronicle
says editorially this morning:
AS strong supporters and sincere well
wishers OF the United States, we suggest
a reconsideration of the decision to send
Commodore Watson to Europe. 1t could
not materially harm Spain. and would only
be likely to reunite the Spaniards into an
impervious obstinacy of endurance and a
determination to suffer to all lengths.
That is their national character. 1t was
that which baffied Napoleon, who had land
forces to overrun the whole country, while
at every point an American feet could
touch there would be danger of European
complications
The Times editorially reproachins the
Spanish government this morning with
moral cowardice in endeayoring to screen
its own mismanagement by pretending that
General Toral has betrayed his country
says:
1T is incredible that Spain can hope for
anything from Cuba. as it is impossible
for Rlanco. as il was for Toral, to fight
against hunger. and it is unlikely that the
former will have anything else to fight with
for some time to come. Neither can any
thing be hoped from European interven-
tion. even IL Commodore Watsen's squad
ron comes. though its arrival would be an
unwelcome spectacle to more than one Eur
opean power.
1T may be assumed that Commodore
Watson's authorization to visit the Philip
pines will not weaken the disposition at
Berlin to cultivate friendly relations with
America. and to make light of the esca-
pades of the German ships at Manila
