MAINE TROOPS MOVE.

The First Maine regiment left Augusta
Friday for Chickamsuga, Tennessee,
where it will join the $1,000 troops now
stationed there. The Maine troops ar
rived at Chickamauga Monday.
sPANIARDs AT KEY WEST.
What is believed to have been an
attempt to blow up Fort Taylor, at Key
West, was frustrated Thursday night.
The report says a sergeant OF artillery dis
covered three men in the mortar pit of
the fort. They fired upon him when he
approached, and one bullet took effect in
his arm. He returned the fire, but the
men escaped. Later in the evening the
same men were discovered near the same
place. They again escaped.
TwENTY-sIx PRIZES.
In the United States court at Key West
last Thursday twenty-five prizes were
condemned. They will be sold within
thirty days. All the prizes are sailing
vessels except the "Argonauta" and the
"Ambrosia Bolivar.
On Saturday decisions were rendered in
the cases OF the six Spanish steamers
seized during The first days Of the Cuban
blockade. These included the most
valuable prizes taken since the war began.
The catalina" and "Miguel Jover" were
released. The "Pedro", "Guido", "Buena
Ventura" and panama" were condemned.
The cargo Of the "Buena Ventura" being
neutral property, was released.
AMERICAN VESSEL RELEASED.
A despatch from Loyds agent at Manila,
says the American bark "Saranac", Capt
Bartaby, from Newcastle, N. S. W., on
February 26, for Iloilo, Philippine Islands,
which was captured shortly after the out
break OF the war by the Spanish gunboat
"El Cano", has been released.
PRISONERS EXCHANGED.
The two American reporters which
were imprisoned at Havana were released
in exchange for four Spanish prisoners Of
war Friday.
CRUISER "CoLUMBIA" DAMAGED.
The cruiser "Columbia arrived at New
York Sunday and reported a collision
with the British steamer "Foscolia' off
Fire Island, Saturday, in fog. The
"Foscolian struck the "Columbia' on the
starboard quarter, te9ring a jagged hole
in the cruisers side. The "Foscolia"
sunk. The crew was saved by the "Co-
lumbia".
The protective deck OF the cruiser saved
her from being cut in two. She is now
in dry dock at the Brooklyn navy yard.
1t will take about ten days to repair her.
WILL TAKE MEXICAN DOLLARS.
Maj. Gen. Wesley Merritt will take
250,0 900 Mexican silver dollars to the Phil
ippines with him. The quartermaster IS
department has purchased that number
OF Mexican coins, paying As cents each, or
$4,000 for them.
The purchasing power Of the Mexican
dollar i'll the Philippines is equal to that
of our own silver dollar. In fact the
orentals look with suspicion on an Am
eriean silver dollar, and are often willing
to exchange two of them for one Mexican
dollar

The object OF this second
call is to provide a reserve army to afford
a body OF drilled and equipped men to be
drawn upon as occasion demands when
the campaigns are fully under way.
1t is stated that The enlistments are to
be thrown open, much rs they were at
the outbreak of the civil war, and are not
to be restricted TO the militia and ma
tional guard organizations of the several
states. This will be an encouragement to
the organization of independent voun-
teer companies and regiments which will
retain their identity to a certain extent.
The three transport ships

for Manila to-day. They
carry about $500 men, supplies for one
year, and large amount OF ammunition
for Admiral Dewey.
The British steamer

Spanish Fleet tons of coal for the Span
Captured. ish fleet, was captured to-
day four miles off Santiago
by the auxiliary cruiser st. Paul.. She
was taken to Key West by prize crew.
The capture of the "Restormel'' partly
reveals the plans OF Admiral Cervera
which were upset by Admiral Sampson.
The "Restormeln when she left Wales,
was bound for San Juan, Porto Rico, but
when she arrived there she was ordered to
Curocao, Ceryera's plans having been
upset by SIMPSONS BON bardment OF San
Juan. The "Restormel" was slow in
reaching Curoaco, and when she arrived
there the Spanish fleet had sailed and she
was ordered to Santiago. She did not
reach there.
