Eatire Regular Army Ordered South

Decidedly the most warlike step taken
by the War Department in preparing for
the possibility of an encounter with Spain
was inaugurated Friday when orders
were issued for the concentration at four
points in the South of six regiments of
cavalry, twenty two regiments of infant
ry and the light batteries of FIVE regi-
ments of artillery.
At Chickamauga there will be six regi-
ments Of cavalry and the light batteries
of fye regiments Of artillery; at New Or
leans. eight regiments of infantry; at
Tampa seven regiments of infantry, and
at Mobile seven regiments of infantry.
Since the civil war no such proportion
of the army has been mobilized and the
movement itself is the best evidence Of
the gravity of the situation as looked up
on by the President and his advisers.
The determination to rendezvous the
troops in the South. where they can be
acelimated to the conditions of a more
tropical climate. has been under eonsid
Grafton by the President and his Cabinet
for some time.
TWAS not until Friday, however, that
the President, in view of the enormous
expense which will be entailed. felt justi
fed in taking this step.
The command of the army will devolve
upon Major General Nelson A. Miles,
who is now at the head of the military
branch Of the government.
His temporary headquarters, it is said,
probably will be at Atlanta, where Gen
eral Graham, who has command of the
Department of The Gulf is now located.
General Miles permanent headquarters
viii depend entirely upon the exigencies
of the situation and the developments of
the campaign.
