Richmond, Va, Nov. 16.-All the white
officers OF the Sixth Virginia Regiment,
colored, have resigned. except Lieut. Col
Croxton and Lieuts. Healy and Richard
son. The leutenants are on special duty
and are not Immediately in command Of
negro soldiers
A letter received here from Capt. w. S.
Faulkner tells Of the troubles the white
officers nave had The soldiers, while
obeying their white officers in a sort OF
perfunctory way, are sul!en and make
things very unpleasant for them. Col.
Croxton advised that all the recently ap-
pointed officers resign. He hoped to build
up fine regiment under capable officers,
but has been disappointed. The white
captains and lieutenants do not hesitate
to express themselves as disgusted with
the condition of things They admit that
they have been forced TO resign on account
Of the sentiment among the men OF the
regiment In favor OF colonel officers.
Gov. Tyler has not acted upon the res
ignations. He Will consider the matter
well, and no doubt. while IN Washington,

WAR DEPARTMENT. ACTIVE.
Soldiers Being Prepared for Service
i'm Foreign Lands.

III FoFetEh AfhnOA.
Washington, Nov 16.-There has been
remarkable activity about the war depart
ment for several days In the way of pre-
pairing troops for service in lands beyond
the United States. An order has been is
sued directing at least ten regiments OF
the regular army now stationed in North
western ports and posts to hold themselves
In readiness for immediate transportation
and service in tropical climates Most of
these regiments were sent to the Northern
and Western posts few weeks ago for
recuperation after their Cuban campaign.
While holding themselves ready for SER
vice these regiments will now be recruited
TO their full strength. Nothing Is said Of
ticlally as to what the present activity
means, but there are several reasons it
is believed that an early movement 90
Cuba is intended somewhat sooner than
has been generally believed heretofore.
Another belief entertained Is that the
United States government desires TO be in
position to meet any conditions that
may grow out of the pending peace nego-
tlations, and to be In readiness If Spain
refuses to accept the terms the Anseri-
can peace commissioners offer In this
connection an intimation has got about
to the effect that during the delay which
mas OCCURRED Spdln mas been aDle 10 form
some sort of coalition with European Pow
ers to back up the pretensions she has
been making in the negotiations
Another reason given for the proposed
movement Of the regulars to Cuba Is that
they are TO replace the regiments which
have given some trouble and have created
disturbances. the last now being reported
from Gen. Woods command In Santiago
province.
II may be that some OF the regular
regiments are destined to replace voIun-
teers who have been pleading to be sent
home.
An interesting feature of the matter is
the refusal Of the United States authori-
ties to order the muster out of the volun-
teers TO be returned from Porto Rico.
These regiments were sent to their homes
and given sixty days furlough, but con-
trary to the plans heretofore followed they
were not allowed to be mustered out OF
the service.
As to the ten regular regiments every
department of the government has been
directed to prepare supplies for them and
10 arrange transportation as soon as they
are ordered to move.
