The Barracks Ordered Abandon
 ed Yesterday
1T WAS THOUGHT OF BEFORE
A General Movement of Mili-
 tary Ordered
A Possible Part of Plan for a Con- centration or Troops in the Case of NOW Unlocked for EnsrG- enCY.

Washington, March 28.-Orders wer issued from the war department toda, for the abandonment of Fort WhipDle, in Arizona This leaves only three military posts in that treritory, two in close proximity to the Apache reser- vation and one not far from the Mex ican line. General Miles has favored the discontinuance of the military post at Whipple Barracks ever since he has been at the head of the army and has on two occasions especially recom- mended it's abandonment.
 Other military orders were issued transferring the headquarters and six companies of the Eleventh infantry now in the department of the Colorado to Jefferson Barracks, Missouri, and also directing the commanding general of the department of Colorado to order the headquarters of the staff and band of the Fifteenth infantry from Fort Bayard, N. M, to Fort Huachuca, Arizona, and one company of the Eff teenth infantry from Fort Bayard to Fort Apache, Arizona. Although they do not seem to do SO, the orders may have a bearing on the proposed re- ported concentration of troops for use in possible emergency

The Maine Inquiry Report Has Been Published
 to the World.
WHAT CONGRESS WILL DO

statement that the danger point has not yet passed and that war, while no longer a probability, was yet poss1- bility. The president has distinctly disclosed to his cabinet associates his purpose to avoid war if it is possible with a just solution of the Cuban prob lem, and he felt from the disposition manifested by Spain that this just so- lytion could be reached. This, how ever, is without considering congress, which may, now that the subject is formally before it, take some radical action.
 An important Spanish document which reached the government during the day was an abstract of the report of the Spanish naval commission which investigated the destruction of the Maine. It is the only answer Spain has thus far made to the action of this government in submitting to Spain through Minister Woodford the findings of the American court. The conclusions reached by the Spanish commission are directly opposed to those of the American court. No de- mands have been made in connection with the Maine, and therefore there is no response beyond the submission of the Spanish report.

AN ACCIDENT AT BISBEE.
George Dahoney Run Over by an En-
 zine and May Die.

Bisbee, Ariz., March J. George Dahoney. aged 19, Sunday night fell on the track of the Arizona & Southeastern and before he could rise the freight cars whi,N had run up to this end of the track back of the Hotel Angus, backed down upon him and the wheels passed over his legs just above the ankles, severing both feet. Mrs. Letson summoned Dr. Greene, assistant surgeon of the Cop per Queen company, who did all pos sible for the young man until Assist ant Superintendent Harvey could sum- mon an engine and caboose to the scene of the accident. Young Dahoney was lifted into the car and conveyed to the hospital of the company south of the smelter, where Drs. Sweet and Greene removed the young mans feet, which hung by slender threads.
 Young Dahoney has been connected with Civil Engineer Howe's engineer ing corps in surveying mining prop critics for the Copper Queen company. He was raised in Bisbee and was quite well known in the community. The trainmen can in no wise be censured, as the tracks lie under hill in the locality of the accident and it was not possible to discern the form of the man as it lay.

relation to the destruction of the Maine"
 During his stay in Havana Captain Sigsbee took more than ordinary pre- cautions for the protection of the Maine by placing sentinels on the fore castle and poop, and the quarantine and signal buoys. He said he had given orders to the master at arms and orderly to keep a careful eye on every body who came on board and to care fully observe any packages that might be brought aboard on the supposition that some high explosives might be employed, and afterwards to go over the route these people had taken and never to lose sight of the purpose of the order.
 He states that very few people vis- ited the ship, Lieutenant Wainwright being rather severe on visitors. There were only two or three Spanish mil itary officers who came on board, but according to the captain, they were constrained and not desirous of ac- cepting much courtesy. This visit was during the absence of the captain He said he made every effort to have Spanish officers visit the ship to show the good will according to the spirit of the Maine's visit to Havana, but with the exceptions stated, no military officers of Spain visited the ship so- cially.
Arizona republican., 1898-03-29

spiracy is apparent, no knowledge oi the planting of the mine is shown
 Captain Sigsbee states that a some what bitter feeling existed against the American ship and Americans gen. orally, and a witness whose name is suppressed. tells of overhearing a conversation among Spanish officers and a citizen indicating a foreknowl- edge of the destruction of the Maine by an intention to blow her up. An official of the American consulate tells of information received anonymously tending to show that such a con spiracy existed. But nothing is defi- nitely stated which fixes any respon- sibility upon Spain or her subjects.
