were to sail on her. These volunteers will now have to wait for the third expedition.
 The four other steamers of the sec ond fleet will all finish taking on coal this morning. and then the work of loading the equipments of the soldiers and all necessary supplies will at once be begun under the direction of Major Long, the depot quartermaster, who notwithstanding the shortness of the time allowed him and several serious obstacles, Is confident that he can ac- complish the task by next Wednesday morning. One serious hindrance to the rapid loading of the vessels is the lack of trucks. So far it has not been pos sible to secure more than thirty-five trucks, whereas 150 could be used for the next few days It requires thirty trucks alone to move the equipment of one regiment. Each truck can carry a load of 1000 pounds. The heavy goods will be the first to be put on board ship this morning.
 The quartermaster department has an immense amount of work, and it is be- ing done by the same number of men employed in time of peace. If the force were six times as large every man

A careful inspection of the Morgan City has revealed the fact that her boilers are in need of some repairs which cannot be made in time for her to sail with the balance of the Philip pine transport fleet on Wednesday. This reduces the number of transports of the second Manila expedition to four the China, Colon, Zealandia and Sen- ator. The Morgan City, however, will be put in good condition in time enough to sail with the third fleet, the date of whose departure has not yet been de- f1nitely fixed.

lowed to Ride with Officers and Ladies.
Chattanooga, Tenn, Nov. 3.-Three
private soldiers of the Eighth United
States volunteer infantry, colored i'm
munes camped at Chickamauga park,
were elected from the ladies' car of the
Chattanooga Rapid Transit Co.'s line
which runs to the park, by the con-
ductor and trainmen last night. Th e
negroes were very disorderly and ugly
about it and when they reached the
park they went to ther camp and gath
cred together several hundred of their
comrades and went to the station,
where they began stouing the train
just as it was pulling out for the re-
turn trip to the city.
They broke all the windows of the
cars and seriously injured a brakeman
named Faircloth. Fortunately there
were few passengers aboard. After
ward they stoned another passenger
and three freight trains which passed
the station, doing great damage. They
declare that they will stone every
train on the road until they are al
lowed to ride in the ladies' car. This
car was put on during the summer for
the use of officers and ladies and no
privates, not even white soldiers, were
allowed to ride in it. The negroes re-
fused to listen to their officers. but
Gen. Boynton states that there will be
no further trouble.

NEGRO SOLDIERS MUTINY.
Sixth Virginia Regiment Refuses to Obey
Orders Given by White Officers.

Orders Given by White Officers.
Camp Poland, Knoxville, Tenn, Nov
3.-Thc camp of the Sixth Virginia
colored regiment was the scene of IA
mutiny yesterday among the men of
that command. The trouble was in
the nature of the men in several com
panies refusing to obey commands is
sued by the nine white officers who
were recently assigned to the regiment
by Gov Tyler, of Virginia. The officers
were assigned to the various companies
a few days ago and since then there
has existed a feeling of discomfort on
the part of some of the negroes, who
preferred to be commanded by officers
of their own race. The feeling grew
until it evidenced itself Wednesday
morning in a positive declaration
against the white officers. The regi-
ment was called for drill at the usual
hour and the white officers assumed
command. To their surprise the ne
groes refused to execute the drills and
when pressed for an explanation it
was announced that the presence of
white officers was the cause.
The officers were inclined to the
opinion that it was a momentary com
plant and sent their companies out
under colored lieutenants. At police
formation the same open disregard for
orders from the white officers was APP
parent and it was then determined to
report the matter to higher authori
ties. Col. CroXton, commanding the
regiment, reported it to Col. Kuert.
division commander, who in turn Wis
tied the camp with Maj. Gen. Bates,
who arrived in the camp for the first
time few moments before the mutiny
begun. 1t was evident that serious
trouble was in ord er if the riotous ne
groes were not quieted and Col. Kuert
at once ordered the Thirty-first Michi-
gan and Sixth Ohio regiments to the
scene. These regiments were under
arms, but the Ohio boys were turned
back before reaching the camp.
Coils. Kuert and Croxton and Maj.
Johnson, a colored officer of the regi-
ment, addressed the men. They ex-
planned that such action was in direct
violation of the military laws and was
punishable by death. They assured
the men that a complaint if such they
felt that they rightfully had, should
be forwarded to the governor of Nir-
ginia, and they were assured that such
complaint would receive attention
from all officers concerned. Col. CroX-
ton stated emphatically that con-
tinuance of this revolt would mean
rigid enforcement of the discipline
covering such cases and said he de-
manded obedience and had the power
to enforce the demand.
The Michigan regiment, which had
appeared upon the scene in quick
time and which was armed for battle.
was ordered back to its camp and the
negroes agreed to send their com
plants in through the military chan
nels and in the meantime to obey their
white officers 1t is not believed that
the white officers will be removed be-
cause the negro officers who preceded
them resigned on account of incom-

to push forward her aims in the far

Great Britain cannot permit.

Glass Blowers in the Pittsburg District
Obeyed President Burns and the Fac
tories are Only Partially Manned.
Pittsburg, Nov. 3.-There has not
been the general resumption of win
dow glass factories that was expected.
All of the pot plants have their fires
lighted in anticipation of going to
work, but enough blowers and gath
erers are loyal to President Simon
Burns to make the question of resump-
tion doubtful one. Several of the
factories on the South Side started at
midnight, but with a limited number
of men. The Chambers factory at New
Kensington is in partial operation,
but at the K. G. Schmertz plant at
Belle Vernon not man responded to
the whistle at midnight.
AT the ID. O. Cunningham factory in
this city there was great eXcitement
Men and women were out in force to
see who would disobey Burns. A num-
Der of men were in readiness, but when
the word was given to start Burns got
on the inside and ordered idleness.
Some obeyed, but few remained and
were made the subject of jeers by the
crowd outside. The police finally dis
persed the mob and no one is allowed
near the factory. At the Phillips
plant, Just below Cunningham's, seven
blowers are at work and the firm ex-
poets to be in full operation soon.
