WILL NOT COME HERE.
Mississippi Troops Will Go to Colum-
 bia, Tenn, to Be Mustered Out.

All hopes of Birminghams getting the two Mississippi regiments to Birmingham to be mustered out of the service have now vanished, for the government has ordered them to Columbia, Tenn, for that purpose. Captain Homer of the United States army, who is mastering officer for the state of Mississippi, and Major Porter of the First regiment, arrived in the city last night from Atlanta and made this statement
 Captain Homer said that if the selection of the camp for the Mississippi troops had been left to him that he was inclined to think that he would have brought them to Birmingham, as he was very favorably im- pressed with this city as a camping place for soldiers, but the government has or dered otherwise.
 There are three hundred men of these two regiments left in the camps at Lauder dale Springs, and they have been ordered to go to Columbia next Friday. They will probably pass through Birmingham on the way. All the other men in these two regi- ments, over two thousand in number, are now at their homes on a thirty-day fur tough. Many of them are in the cities in- fected with the fever, such as Jackson, Fayette, Hattiesburg, Natchez and other F-NsN~S' together again they will be ordered to Co., lumbia, there to be mustered out The mems furloughs will be heightened until such time as it is deemed safe to bring them together again. Captain Homer said last night that the government was respon- sible for the health of the troops, no mat ter whether they were on furlough or not, and If any of them died with fever the government would be liable for a pension. AnpnrdinplX nala Ca. ;. ,.5s.. ious to get the two regiments out of the state as soon as possible.

BUCKS PREPARING
 FOR MORE TROUBLE
Red Men Are Wavering Between
 Peace and War.
BACON WILL AGAIN ATTACK
Determined to Get the Pillagers or Their Bodies Situation is Ex- tremely Critical, and Set
 tiers Are in Danger.

Minneapolis, Minn., October 1.-The Journals correspondent at Cass Lake, Minn.. wires
 Indian runners from the south have pass ed here going north and from them infor- nation of more serious nature than any, thing heard heretofore has been obtained. The hostes at Bear Island have heard that General Bacon intends to attack them within forty-eight hours and are busy pre- pairing to resist. The Indians are well post ed on everything that goes on at Walker and at the agency. They are strongly en- trenched and have sent out insulting mes- sages to the whites. Their runners are busy urging endorsements from other branches of the tribe, and the Red men are wavering between peace and war.
 There have passed down the water way to Leech lake in the past three days as many Indians as there have soldiers come in over the railroad. villager passed up Cass lake today and thirty others are now -encamped eight miles west from here, wo- men and children have been going steadily northward. Twenty canoes of bucks, four in each, went up the Mississippi river into Leech lake last night. It is estimated by the woodmen here that at least 500 Reds who will join the hostiles on the slightest encouragement are now within striking distance of Leech lake dam Chief Chippe- wapine Estimator Seeleye, who has come in from Brainerd. brings alarming reports. He says:
 Bacon will make another attack in the next day or two. He is determined to get the Indians or their bodies. If he does neither the Reds will make A break north for the Big Fork country. He cannot fol- low them and they will have time to do awful damage to the settlers, struggling villagers and railroad property as they flee I consider the situation extremely critical. both here and along the road, especially at points where land and water routes cross Some of my Estimators are starting back to work today, but only where the troops can protect them.''

THE SUBJECTS DISCUSSED
Relate Entirely to Cuba, Porto Rico and
 Island of Guam.
AMERICA WILL REFUSE TO ASSUME
Any Financial Indebtedness as the Re- suit of the Cession CT Re- lease of Cuba or
 Porto Rico.

Washington, October 1.-The peace com mission in Paris so far from reaching a point of absolute variance in the question of the Philippines, have not as yet taken up that subject for consideration. It Is true that every session of the joint com- mission the Spanish representatives sought to raise a question concerning the occu- pancy of Manila bay and town by the United States military and naval forces The United States commissioners promptly and unequivocally refused to consider this point in any aspect and with some reluc- tance the Spaniards gave over for the time being the effort to raise that issue.
 Since then the commission whenever meeting jointly has been engaged entirely with three questions to the complete exclu- sion of the Philippines. These questions relate entirely to Cuba, Porto Rico and Guam, and according to the very last re- ports from the American commissioners to Washington they are still under considera- tion. The United States will not assume

 The affair would have been attended by platoon from the Fifth cavalry had not scattered the Tenth with drawn sabers
 NoLove for the Negro
 The white soldiers here entertain a very bitter feeling against the negro troops, and trouble will occur when ever the two races meet.
 The Tenth was given a camp situated more than a mile from any other regi- ment. Major-General Joseph Wheeler arrived from Montauk Point a few minutes past midnight to take command of the fourth army corps. Today General Wheeler re- ceived large number of citizens in the parlors of the hotel. General Wheeler has not yet received orders in regard to when

This will allow General Wheeler more time in which to execute his first mission of training the cavalry division here for Cuban service. Today General John J. Coppinger became GA years of age, and by operation of law he is retired from the regular army of the United States as a brigadier-generaL He retains his position as a major-general of volunteers and will be mustered out on the last day of the present month.

Parade of the Templars

Pittsburg, October 1.-The parade of the twenty-seventh triennial conclave of the Knights Templar is now an crent of his- tory Whatever had been anticipated in the way of gorgeousness, splendor and gen. eral all-around success was amply realized, that is, all but the rain was not expected. But even at that it was the grandest pa- rade ever held in this city, from whichever view one takes 1t. In point of numbers there were 10000 marchers in lne-it easily doubled similar occurrences of the x<st; and as far as the appearance of the men, horses, as well as the perfection of their movements, were concerned, Pittsburg has never seen anything to equal it.

This is the Substance of Findings of
 Naval Board.

New ork, October 11.-Although the American fleet in the battle off Santiago on July obeyed the general orders of Rear Admiral Sampson given in advance to meet just such an emergency it was essentially captains" fight. This is the substance of the report of the naval board which has been Investigating disputed points in the battle. Rear Admiral Sampson was present and the two orders signaled by Schley "close in" and "engage the enemy did no good and were unnecessary, for the ships had already closed in and were engaging the enemy when the orders were run up.

any financial indebtedness as the result of the eession or release of Cuba and Porto Rico.
 It was fully expected by the authorities here that the Spanish contingent on the peace commission would make a strong effort to make the assumption of the heavy financial obligations of these islands a con- dition of the cession of Porto Rico, and the abandonment of sovereignty over Cuba, but the American commissioners were fully and definitely instructed on these points, and the general tenor of these instruc- tions was that such obligations were not to be assumed by the United States.
 No Dissatisfaction Felt
 No dissatisfaction is felt here at the progress of the commission in the settle nent of the questions assigned to 1t. It was fully understood that the issue pre- scented would require the most delicate and cautious handl ng and while the American commissioners were expected to deal with these with the greatest frmness it was re- alzed that some consideration must be shown for the Spanish commission, who would be obliged at least to make an ef- fort to secure an abaatement of the Amer ican demands in order to satisfy public feel ing at home.
 It can be stated that there has been no illumination of the confidence of the ad- ministration in satisfactory outcome of the peace commission negotiations at Paris when that city was selected for the meet ing place of the peace commissioners at the most earnest and repeated prayer of M. Eambon, it was understood that the Amer fcan commissioners would be obliged to hear up against strong pressure from the pro-Spanish element in the French press but this had all been discussed before the commissioners sailed from America and the president was satisfied that the men he had were of sufficient individual strength to resist any outside influences.
