ORDERED TO ToRTueAs.
The Twenty-fifth Regiment of Infantry to
Be Transferred.

Washington, March 29.-Ry direction
of Gen. Miles, commanding the army,
orders were issued today for the trans
fer of the Twenty-Afth regiment of in
fantry to the Dry Tortugas.
The fact that this regiment is made
up of colored troops is regarded as sig
nificant in showing the purpose of the
war department to concentrate colored
troops in the vicinity of Cuba, inasmuch
as it is recognized that the negro is bet
ter able to withstand the Cuban climate
than the white man.
There are three other colored regi-
ments in the army. Their aggregate
strength is 218S.
The regiments are ths Twenty-fourta
Infantry, at Fort Douglas, Utah, Col. J.
F. Kent commanding; the Ninth Caval-
ry, Fort Robinson, Neb., Col. David
Perry commanding; the Tenth Cavalry
headquarters at Fort Assinibone, Mont.
Col. Guy v. Henry commanding. The
only colored officer outside of chap
lains, is First Lieut. Charles Young Of
the Ninth Cavalry who at present is on
duty at the Wflberforce University. The
four colored chaplains are attached to
the colored regiments.
The Twenty-fifth regiment is now
located at Forts Missoula, Assinibone
and Harris, Mont, were they have been
IS years. There are about 450 men in
ALL under command of Col. A. S. Bird.
The movement will begin in about two
weeks, and the troops on arriving at
Tortugas will go into camp, there being
no regular barracks accommodations at
that place for them. 1t was announced
some time ago that the department
would detail a company of artillery to
oil on
the ordnance bureau intends to mount
at Fort jefferson. The colored troops
upon their arrival, 1t it presumed, will
be instructed in artillery practice, and
thus will be enabled, in case of neces-
sity, to assist the artillery in its work.

CHARLESTON NAVY YARD.
Work of Getting Recruits Orders sug-
gesting War Times.

Boston, March 29.-The navy yard
force at Charlestown was at work today
finishing UP the painting of the Machias.
No orders have yet been received with
regard to her destination after the re-
pairs have been completed, nor has any
thing been heard about the coming of
the monitors to the yard. The yard
is getting out mounts for small
rapid-f1re guns, which, in conjunction
with those taken from the Lancaster,
will be sent to New York, and probably
mounted on the auxiliary cruisers or
yachts.
Lieut.. Commander Sturdys recruit
mill on the Wabash, at the Charlestown
navy yard, has been hard at work to-
day, the number of applicants for en-
Hstment being as great or greater than
on previous days, while as on yesterday
the percentage of men taken was COM
paratively large in relation to that of
former days. The men examined were
nearly all good specimens, and most of
them were fairly qualified for the grades
for which they were applicants. 1t is
thought that in a few days at the
latest, enough men can be sent to the
Machias to make up her full compile
ment, after which it is expected that
some men will be sent to the League
Island navy yard.
Very important telegraphic orders
were received at the navy yard late last
night from Washington, calling for the
enlistment Of men for all grades in the
navy and for general sea service for
one year" The fact that demand has
been made for the enlistment of large
number of men or until further orders,
is said by naval officers to be proceed
ings followed only in war times.

raised five acres of leaf tobacco with
such excellent results that he is now

ALL OF ONE ACCORD.

Washington, March 29.-At the close
of the cabinet meeting today Secretary
Alger, gave out the following statement:
80 far from there being any differ
ence of opinion among the members of

cord with the president and have been
without single exception. When he
read to them yesterday his message on
the Maine, there was not a dissenting
voice nor a suggestion of change 1t
commanded the approval of every
member. How could the president have
said more? He gave congress the re-
port at once, and stated that he had
forwarded it to Spain and is awaiting
her reply.

aspect of Affairs Said still to Be Toward
Peace.

Washington, March 29.-The Spanish
the state department shortly before
noon and was with Judge Day over half
an hour, by appointment, one of Judge
Days clerks having been sent to the
minister to ask him to come to the de-
partment at the earliest moment. Pend
ing his arrival Judge Day went to the
navy department and had a talk with
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt, and
soon thereafter Mr.. Roosevelt returned
the visit and had a talk with Judge
Day in the latter's office
The purpose and results of the Span
ish minister's talk with Judge Day, of
course, were guarded. In a general
way, however. it is said it was pro-
ductive of further expressions from
high officials that the aspect continued
pacific. 1t was learned that the last
difference has disappeared as to Spain
objecting to the dispatch of relief sup
plies by the United States government
TO Cuba.
Spain has also expressed full willing
ness to allow the reconcentrados to be
assisted by agricultural implements,
ETC., or in any other way the United
States sees fit to adopt, so long as it
does not assume a form offensive to
yond this, however, the plans of settle
ment have taken very wide range and
no one of them is yet reduced to such
a concrete form that it gives promise
of acceptance by both governments.
Each side, it is said by persons familiar
with the negotiations, appear to be ami
mated by an earnest desire to avoid war
by all honorable means, and for this rea-
son every possible proposition or basis
of adjustment is being fully canvassed
There is high authority for saying,
however, that the Spanish attitude up
to the present time has not been to con-
slider either the independence of Cuba
forcible Intervention or the sale of the
island. There is much difference of
opinion as to the so-called arnistice
among officials who ought to be fully
advised as to the exact terms if it has
assumed a definite form. gentleman
well acquainted with Spanish affairs
pointed out today that the talk OF an
armistice was out OF the question, as
Spain would never withdraw her forces
in-Cuba while the rebellious element was
in arms He said also that the state
ments published concerning a PROPOSE
tion for enlarged autonomy to go into
force Immediately after the coming Gu
ban election, was not in fact under
consideration, as the reported terms of
this new autonomy are in detail en-
braced in the present autonomy now
about to be put in force.

PREPARING TO LEAVE.
Many Foreign Families Think Rest to
Quit

Havana, March 29.-Rumors have been
IN circulation since last night that there
VIII be no war between the United
states and Spain, but in spite Of this,
owing, 1t is said, to the report of the
United States naval court of inquiry on
the loss of the battleship Maine, many
families have been preparing to leave
havana, and some of them will go on
board the Olivette tomorrow.
While great interest is felt among the
americans here, the report of the court
OF inquiry had been so completely dis
counted by publication in the Havana.
Madrid and American newspapers, as to
ITS principal features, that no special
surprise was manifested on the publica-
tlon of the findings.
Naval men regard the order not to
talk about the Maine explosion as still
IN force, and they are therefore unwill-
ing TO discuss the report, or to throw
Side-lights on the testimony. All think
the cabled synopsis obscure in MANY re-
sspects. and prefer to wait for the full
text before commenting upon the find
lngs even among themselves,
interest is now centered upon the dip
lomatic doings at Madrid and Washing
ton with reference to a cessation of hos
qlitdes and the feeding of the reconcen-
trados. Any news about these phases of
the problem is eagerly read, when COM
Ing from responsible sources. The tone
last evening and today has been dis
tinctly more peaceful, and the hope is
expressed and even entertained that a
satisfactory solution may be found of all
differences
The Mangrove left last night for Key
west with a load of salvage from the
wreck of the Maine.
Much satisfaction is felt at the election
or Lieut. Col. Mendoz as a delegate to
the Spanish cortes on the conservative
ticket. He is the military censor at
Havana, and is sometimes compelled to
refuse to pass matter offered him. He is
always courteous, however, and as oblig-
Ing as his sense of duty will allow. The
correspondents of the conservative
organs unite in expressing their salts

hard that they hoped to see the whole
navy blown up?"
How about the dinner on the steamer

GERS saved were present?"

when guns were loaded and torpedoes

AngIo-Egyptan Gunboats Gain An lmpor-
tant Victory


Cairo, March 29.-It is officially an
nounced that the gunboats and Anglo
Egyptian troops attacked Shendy on
Saturday, destroyed the forts, captured
quantities of grain, cattle and ammuni-
ton and liberated over 500 slaves, most
ly Jaalins. The dervishes lost 100 men,
There were no casualties on the Anglo
Egyptian side.
Shendy was taken by surprise. The
gunboats, with a battalion OF Egyptians
on board, assembled the Nile from the
mouth of the Atbara river and arrived
at Shendy by dawn on Saturday. The
gunboatS shelled the forts, and then the
battalion was landed and attacked the
town. The attack was made by a flank
movement, and the dervish garrison was
completely routed, the Egyptians pursu-
ing them 20 miles.
The capture of Shendy was a brilliant
maneuvre, as the main body Of the
dervishes who advanced against the
Anglo-Egyptian forces from Shendy is
now cut off from its base, and its re-
serve depot is destroyed. The dervisheS
who advanced against the Anglo-Egyp-
tian army are entrenched at FL Hilgi,
on the Atbara river. They are suffering
severely from lack of food, and are sub
sisting on palm nuts. The destruction
of their supplies at Shendy will compel
them to give battle for which the Anglo
Egyptian expedition has been eagerly
awaiting. News of crushing defeat of
the dervishes is expected here hourly.
