INFAMOUS NEGRO CIRCULARS
Urge the Race to Commit All Sorts of
Outrages against the w hites
NASHVILLE American.)

Chattanooga, Nov. 14.-John Day, of
New Orleans, one of the s~hreWdest de-
tectives in the employment of Uncle
Sam, has just been here on his way to
Georgia and Alabama.
His coming revived the interest in the
infamous circulars sent out to the ne
grOes of MISSISSIPPI and Alabama some
time since by parties unknown, and for
whose apprehension the government
would give a good rOund sum-.
A badly torn copy of one of these
circulars was seen today. 1t had been
mailed recently from Alabama, and it
contained the vilest language, urging
negroes to outrage white women when
ever they could, and to do all in their
power to kill off the white people. 1t
was signed, "A Committee of the Rose
Bud Club"
Efforts have been made to apprehend
the parties who sent out these incen-
diary circulars but SO far no one has
been able to locate them. POstOffice
inspectors from his office have been at
work on the matter and have so far
signally failed. Negroes have been re-
Gently found who have received these
circulars through the mails and the
mailing pOstoffices of a umbe of the
communications located but the inspec-
tors have been unable by any kin Of
decOys to get the guilty parties to be-
tray themselves.

NEGRO TROOPS IN CVRl
To be Sent to an Island Ncar Santiago.
Stirring uD Ennity Toward Ameri-
cans-Troops for Ponce

Santiago de Cuba, November IL
General Leonard Wood, military gov
crnor Of tho department Of Santiago.
has instructed General Ewars, ,rho is
in commend Of the brigade II negro
regiments at a Luis, where the
INK ARRAY occurred on Monday
night, to move the camp five miles
from the town. 1t is probable that one
Of the regiments will b. sent to an
island near the entrance Of Santiaoo
horbor where there are no inhabi-
tants.
Some Of the local papers continue
to abuse the Americans, catering to
the lower elements and striving To ere
ate a feeling hostile TO America. The.
better class OF Cubans, OF course, re-
greet the ARRAY, but they do not cxag-
gerate the outrage after the fashion
OF he sensational press.
The United States transport PJr.
Victor, Captain Brickley, arrived here
today en- route for Ponce, with United
States troops or board. Captain Brick.
ley reports that while passing near
San salvador island CWatling's islani)
he saw a large ship bottom upward
which he almost ran into. Owing to
the darkness he could not discover
whether she was>a sailing vessel or a
steamer.
General Wood has temporarily sus-
pended foreclosure proceedings, owing
10 n fact that the money ''sharksr
nave been trying to force the collec-
tion OF small amounts loaned during
the war. He believes that thu mort
gagors should have a reasonable
chance to redeem.
Having satisfied himself OF the in
competence OF the staff Of meat and
house inspectors tina held
over from the old regime, General
Wood has dismissed the whole force
and appointed new inspectors.
AT Guantanamo General Perez. the
mayor now seems to be making an
earnest effort to disband his former
Cuban troops. Yesterday one man re-
fused 10 lay down his arms and drew
his weapon on a Cuban officer. who
promptly killed him In self defence
The incident has had a good moral ef-
feet and the others OF Perez's for
mer command are now voluntarily re-
!inquishing their arms preparatory To
disbandonment.
