WASHINGTON. Dec. 3.-Tho War Department
ia having great difficulty In obtaining eflcient
telegraph operators to operate the military
lines under the control OF the United States
Government In Cuba. Alarge number OF opera
tors were enlisted In the Volunteer Signal
Corps. but these men were In most chses
released from regular positions with the
promise that at the end Of the war they should
be restored to their places. The telegraph
companies have objected TO keeping these offers
open now that peace has practically been de-
clared and large number Of telegraph opera
tors in the Signal Corps have been mustered
out for this reason. The War Department now
has about 300 miles OF telegraph lines under its
control in Cuba, and II is expected that many
hundreds Of miles now in use by the Spanish
ment when formal possession OF the island is
taken.
Yesterday Col. Dunwoody OF the Signal Corps
made an arrangement to meet number OF
telegraph operators at the headquarters OF the
Signal Corps In the War Department building,
but the operators, upon learning that " they
went to Cuba they would be Obliged to enlist
as privates In the Signal Corps at the privates'
pay OF about SIT month. refused to consider
tive need for telegraph, operators In Ouba at
once. and this need will Increase rather than
diminish rs new lines are acquired, IL IN
probable that the Government will have to
resort TO the expedient of employing civilian
operators at regular rates OF pay.

any military position to which he may be
assigned. i.
Those who are intimately acquainted
with Col. Gordon know that his regiment
has been one of the chief interests OF his
life, and that he gave 10 1t the same con
slant care and intelligent management
which he gave to his own private business
affairs. His position as colonel OF the reg
iment has cost him much hard labor. and,
also, much personal expenditure on his
part, for which he expected no remunera-
ton other than the consciousness of duty
well done and the pleasure of commanding
the finest cavalry regiment to be found in
the volunteer service of the country.
Should Col Gordon be selected to COM
mand the Georgia troops of the volunteer
army, every man under his command will
soon learn that he has a general who win
exercise every care for the personal safety
and welfare of his men, who win expect
his men to undergo no danger or hardship
which he Will not share with them who
will be braves but not rash, and will re-
main calm when others are excited. This
is the kind of man with whom the volun,
teer soldiers OF Georgia viii be willing to
trust their lives, and in whom the fathers,
mothers, wives and sisters of the men In
the field can have confidence.
