practice maneuVering. The regular
army troops do not need these, and are
to be thrown at once into the fray.
Many of the regiments of the National
guard which are entering the Volun-
teer service are felt to be sufficiently
to follow the regulars Immediately and
the department has indicated it's pur-
pose of diSpatching these volunteer
troops directly to the gulf coast for
shipment instead of sending them to
Chickamauga. This disposition was
shown by the changes in the new ord
ers issued to the troops, although there
yet may be a turn to the original pro-
gram of concentration if the plans show
quartermaster general has already got
ten under charter seven merchant
steamers for transportation of troops
and, roughly speaking, these should
carry about 10000 men. Others are
being procured as rapidly as possible.
The plan of the war department is to
have these vessels assemble at the diff
Orleans and Galveston, to take the
troops on which will be sent there. The
navy department is expected to furnish
convoy for these transports, which
would be absolutely helpless against
Spanish attacks. AT this point there
are signs of friction. First, the trans
ports will be obliged to await Admiral
SIMPSONS return in order to secure
proper convoy, and secondly, the navy
the task of conveying a number of
transports. 1t insists that to insure the
safety of the convoy of the troops, all
the transports should be gathered in
one fleet to start from Tampa and the
navy is likely to prevail in this.

people Swaying now this way and now
that all seemingly anxious to get their
hands on the murderer-for at this time
1T was thought Morgan's wound was
fatal. A detail of police was stationed
in front of the building on the sidewalk
and succeeded somewhat indifferently
in keeping the crowds back.
A young man got up on the railing
and tried to talk peace, "but the crowd
howled in derision when he said that
the man arrested was not the man they
wanted. For a half hour the crowd
Surged around the station and then
John Schmidt, the Second ward Demo-
cratic leader mounted the railing
BOYS; said he you all know me.
and know you can trust me. I want
to tell you right here that if you were
right, 1 would be with you. 1 was one
of the men who helped to take Oliphant
from the county Jail, but boys you
have made mistake. The man ar
rested is not the man you want. He is
customer of mine and L know him
Well You have made a mistake, but if
they had the right man I would be
right with you. The best thing you can
do is to quietly go home.'
The crowd appeared satisfied and
men began to drop out and in half an
hour the street was deserted.
But the trouble was not ended
Smoky Row ought to be burned" said
around the speaker, but they finally
dispersed without making any move to
carry their threat into execution
The police made the rounds of the
town and requested colored people to
keep off the street as a matter of pre-
caution, an order that was Immediately
obeyed and at II o'clock not a coIored
person could be seen anywhere. The
best colored people in town, who are
largely in the majority, derounce the
assault on Morgan in the severest
terms and say the would-be murderer
should be punished. One colored man
said: While the indignities offered
our people at Camp Leedy by some
white ruffans, angered the coIored peo-
pie, the quarrel was about a standoff,
and ought to have ended. Our people
can not and will not excuse such bloody
attacks as that of last night. We want
peace
a police officer said today: ct am
not sure that the trouble is over Some
of the worst colored boys in town are
arming themselves and will be on the
lookout for soldiers and I am afraid
there will be more trouble
The police have a description of the
man who did the cutting and it is
thought he will be captured in a day or
two.
DR.. J. C. McClintock reports today
that Morgan will get well.

FOUR SIEGE GUNS
Have Arrived in Tampa for Use in
Cuba Campaign.

Tampa May 11.-Everything possible is
being done to facilitate the work of load
ing the transports at Port Tampa with
ammunition and supplies for the expedi-
ton. All last night and all of today hun hun
dreds of men were kept busy unloading
the war material from the freight cars
and carefully slowing it away in the
transports. This part of the work Will
practically be concluded by tomorrow
night and the ships now in the slip Will
drop anchor in the bay to make room for
other transports.
The Orizaba is expected up from quar-
antine tomorrow. This is one of the
largest transports engaged by the govern
ment and will be used for carrying in
fantry.
A number OF HotchSiss quick firing and
Gatling guns were loaded on the Florida
today. The big siege guns, four of which
have arrived here, have not yet been un-
loaded from the cars. They will be load
ed on some of the larger vessels, prob
ably the Alamo OriZaba-
Lieutenant J. D. Miley of General
Shafter's staff who was sent to Washing
ton Saturday with the reports of Captain
Dorst and Lieutenant Colonel Lawton and
the plans for the Cuban campaign, re
turned today bearing with him a Dig
bundle of maps and documents and i'm
mediately reported to General Shafter. 1t
is now believed that the two Cuban reg1-
mentS will accompany the regular troops
to Cuba. They have all been armed with
Springfield rifles and under incessant drill
ing are rapidly being pounded into shape.

BREAK CAME,
Troops Have Nearly All Left
Camp Thomas.
Demolition of the Encampment
is Nearly Completed.
EVERYTHING SOUTH.
Regiments Forwarded to Tampa
and Mobile
And Some Are Ordered to New
Orleans.
EVERYTHING SOUTH.

Chattanooga, Tenn, May 11.-Camp
George H. Thomas at Chickamauga
park, is rapidly undergoing demolition.
At daybreak this morning the work of
breaking camp was begun by a number
of the regiments and in a few hours
thereafter, places which had been COW
cred with white tents for some time,
were again vacant and deserted. Off
GERS and men of all regiments now re-
manning, are giving their time and at
tention to the preparations for depar-
ture and the regular routine of camp
life has been entirely suspended. The
first troops out were those of the Third
cavalry They were loaded on special
trains at Rossville about 9 o'clock and
started through to Tampa over the
Southern railway.
The Sixth cavalry got out a few
hours later, going to Tampa over the
same route. The two regiments are un-
der the command Of Gen. S. S. Sumner.
The Second cavalry, under Col. Hunt,
will probably get out for Mobile late
this afternoon, and the First and Tenth
cavalry, under Col Baldwin, will leave
about the same time for New Orleans.
Two of the infantry regiments will
march nine miles to Ringgold and take
cars for Tampa tomorrow morning The
three remaining will follow as rapidly
as possible.
The indications now are that all the
commands, with their equipments, will
be gone before Friday noon. The con-
tract for conveying the troops to Tam
pa has been divided between the
Southern and Western and Atlantic
The Southern will carry all destined for
New Orleans and Mobile. The railroads
are doing excellent work and are giving
the officials every assistance in rushing
the troops out.
Mobile, May lin the camp of the
regulars and volunteers all is quiet NO
orders to move have been received at
either camp, although the officers are
looking for same at any moment and
are ready to go to the front promptly.
With the regulars and state troops
combined, there are 5000 men encamped
here.
washington, May 1.-THE fifth regi-
ment of United States cavalry scatter
ed at various posts throughout Texas
and with headquarters at Fort sam
Houston has been ordered to proceed
Immediately to New Orleans. Later 1t
will be sent to Cuba, although it is not
yet settled whether the regiment will
be part of the first expedition to the
coast.
Indianapolis, May 11.-Gov. Mount to-
day received an order from the secre-
tary of war, directing him to prepare
another regiment for immediate SER
vice, in addition to the two Indiana
regiments already designated to go to
New Orleans.
The additional regiment will go to
Mobile and will probably start Sunday:
1t now appears that the departure of
all the Indiana troops assigned for du-
ty will be delayed several days.

Went TO THE BOTTOM.
Spanish Torpedo Boat Destroy
er Sunk by an Explosion.

London, May 11-A dispatch to the
Globe from Gibraltar says a British
steamer which has just arrived there
reports officially that she passed yes
terday evening a Spanish torpedo boat
destroyer, which was guarding AIge-
ciras bay and straits. Shortly after
the steamer passed her, all the lights
of the destroyer were suddenly extin-
guished, a terrific explosion followed
Immediately and the destroyer disap-
peared.
The disaster, the dispatch adds, was.
apparently caused by the explosion of
the boilers of the torpedo boat destroy
er- 1t is feared that all on board of
her perished.

Plan to Strike Cuba and Porto
Rico
At the Same Time and Within
As Hours.
FORCE is SUFFICIENT.
Vessels in Remy's Cuban Squad
ron
Are Considered Ample to Pro-
tect a Landing of Troops.

Key West, May lit is said that If
the report that the Spanish feet has re-
turned to Spain proves to be correct an
active movement against Cuba may oc-
cur within 48 hours. It is possible that
Rear Admiral Sampson, at Porto Rico
and Commodore Remy here may strike
simultaneously.
If it were decided to land troops at
Bahia Honda, MatanZas, or any other
point, the vessels here together with
the ships on the blockade station would
have no difficulty in covering a landing
with the aid of heavy armored fighting
ships.
The monitors, with their heavy guns
could stand close in and with impunity
proceed to the demolition of the fortifi-
cations while the gunboats and lighter
vessels poured in their shots from off
shore.
Naval officers here believe the defen-
ces at any point except Havana, could
be reduced by the ships now here and
on the Cuban station in half an hour
There is no definite information as to
where the troops at Tampa will be en-
bar1ed.
The water problem is getting serious
at this place. Naval officers recognize
it and they are looking anxiously for
the smoke from the stack of the big
government condenser, which is prom
iSed to supply 900 gallons daily per
contract. The plant should have start
ed April 25, but it is not yet in opera
ton. The officers in charge of this
station are skeptica1 of the condenser's
ability to produce 10000 gallons. Key
West water resources are most prima-
tive and limited. The shallow wells in
town are all more or less bracEish and
under suspicion of surface drama ge

cured fresh water. The town lives by
ciSterns and rainbarrels and the latter
are only a shade less sanitary than
the wells. The ciSternS filled during the
rainy season, usually run very low by
the close of the dry season, which is
now due. This year, in addition to the
rains coming very late the town has had
its population doubled by the presence
of troops, ships and war vessels and the
army of newspaper correspondents and
their tugs, which vessels take water by
the thousand gallons, not only for
themselves, but for their boilers. OF
course the war vessels and some of the
hospital and other craft have condens-
ers, but the draft on the towns supply
is still abnormal. The torpedo boats
are without condensing apparatus and
they have been scouting for fresh water
Every discovery of a fresh cistern is
hailed like the strike in the Klondike
and every gallon of water has three
purchasers, all with money and anxious
to outbid one another

CANN0NADING.
Heavy Firing Heard at st.
Thomas Island

New York, May ia World dispatch
from St. Thomas, w. L, says:
Heavy cannonading was heard last
night off toward the Porto Rican coast,
where the United States cruiser Yale
was last spoken.
1t is regarded as possible that it was
an engagement between the Yale and
the Spanish cruiser Isabella IL, and an
which was sighted yesterday. The
Norwegian steamer Gilla has passed
here bound for Galveston from San
Juan, Porto Rico for Spanish supplies.

ACTIVITY AT NEW ORLEANS.
Preparations to Receive the Volun-
teer Troops Ordered There.

New Orleans, May u.-Offcers at the
fair grounds. of both the regular and vol
unteer forces, waiting anXiouSly for
some news confirmatory of the press dis
patches intimating that troops are to be
sent to Cuba very shortly If any orders
have been received, however, they have
not yet been given out. The work of
mastering the louisiana guards is pro-
crossing rapidly, and the regiment of vol
unteers is also steadily being increased in
numbers.
The announcement that Iowa, Illinois
and Indiana troops have been ordered to
New Orleans has stirred the officers at
the fair grounds to activity and prepara-
tions are being made for the encampment
of the western troops, provided that they
are to remain here for any length of time
before taking transports for Cuba The
grounds and accommodations here are
ample for several thousand troops that
have been ordered to New Orleans.
