 Decatur Feb. 21.-The sentiment here Is strong against Spain, and the belief Is al most universal, notwithstanding the dis chalmers of the administration, that the blowing up of the Maine was the result of premeditated Spanish treaehery.

It is also stated he has applied for and re- ceived permission from Governor Johnston to organize and equip company or Voi- unteers It is known that a score or more good men have volunteered to serve under him in case of war.

Colored Soldiers Refuse to Serve
Under White Officers.

Camp Poland, Knoxville, Tenn.-(Spe-
cial.)-The camp Of the Sixth Virginia
(colored) regiment was this morning
the scene of a nutiny among the men
of that command. The trouble was in
the nature of the men in several COM
panies refusing to obey orders issued
by the nine white officers who were re-
Gently assigned to the regiment by Gov
ernor Tyler of Virginia.
The officers were assigned to the va

there has existed during that time a
feeling Of discomfort with some of the
negroes, who preferred to be command
ed by officers of their own ace. The
feeling has grown until it evidenced it.
self this morning in a positive declara-
ton against the white officers.
The regiment was called for drill at
the usual hour and the white officers
assumed command. To their surprise
and indignation the negroes refused to
execute the drill. At police formation
the same open disregard for orders
from thewhite officers was apparent,

regiment, reported it to Colonel Kuert.
divisional commander, who in turn Wis.,
tied the camp with Major General John
Bates, who arrived in the camp for the
first time a few minutes before the mu-
tiny began.
1t was evident that serious trouble
was in order if the riotous negroes were
not quoted, and on that account the
colonel at once ordered the Thirty-first
Michigan and Sixth Ohio regiments to
the scene. These regiments were I'M
der arms, but the Ohio boys were turn
ed back before reaching the Virginia
camp.
and also Major Johnson, a colored Off
Ger of the regiment, addressed the men.
Colonel Croxton stated very emphat-
ically that a continuation Of the revolt
would mean rigid enforcement of the
discipline covering such cases, and said
he demanded obedience and had the
power to enforce the demand. The
Michigan regiment, which had appeared
upon the scene in double time and
which was prepared for battle, was
ordered back to it's camp and the ne
groes agreed to send their complaints
in through military channels and in
the meantime to obey their white Off
GERS. The Virginian camp is quiet to-
NIGHT and mn further trouble is antioi-
pated, at least for the present.

THINK, YES AN kPtf OR
MAN GORGETS HIS NAME AND
ERECTS A THRONE.
Just Released From an ASYLUM and
His Past ia a Compile Blank
To Him.

Cincinnati, O., Nov. GA man with
out identity is the young fellow recently
admitted to Longview asylum under
the title of Emperor of Rome" This
mysterious individual walked into the
Gibson house one sunny afternoon in
July and registered as Nero, Emperor
of Rome" Without looking at the sig
nature, which was scrolled in trembling
characters across the page, the clerk
assigned him to one of the best rooms
in the house. There he ~improvised a
throne for himself from a plush chair,
and in imaginative splendor ruled with
the despotism and tyranny of the bru-
tai character of centuries gone by.
The attaches of the hotel bowed to his
plutocratic will, and the horizon of his
self-aggrandizement was roseate with
glory until two big policemen, totally
devoid of the instincts Of monarchical
worship, grabbed the pseudo Nero by
the nape Of the neck, hustled him down
stairs and loaded him into a patrol
wagon. At the Hammond street sta
ton, where he was locked up over
night, he RECALLED the officers with
sic tragedies, which convinced the po-
licemen that he had been playing the
heavy part in a tank drama at one
night stands.
The next day he was in the probate
court, and, after an interesting trial,
u,a~ Nv, ~of%41l - 1Sl@,
he was confined in the same ward with
Father OGrady. At the institution he
was a model patient, and was perfect
ly sane on all other subjects but the
queer hallucination that possessed him
of being the Emperor Of Rome.
Yesterday morning he vas released
from Longview as cured. Early in the
afternoon lie called at the probate
court and secured the few trinkets ta-
ken from him when committed to the
asylum. Later he entered the Ham
mond street station with a small bun
die under his arm. He walked up to
the desk and inquired Of Lieutenant
Fisher if the latter knew him. The
policeman locke dat him searchingly
and replied: "Why, yes, you are Nero"
"You are right, Lieutenant. I believe
I was your guest here one night"
"How are you?"
II am feeling well, and am perfectly
rational on everything, but I really do
not know who I am or where I live. My
mind is perfectly blank when it comes
to that. I am going down to Lexing-
ton, KY, for a few days. I have a
faint recollection Of having been there
at some time or other. How did I con-
duct myself when here?"
"You said nothing at ALL"
II thought perhaps I had been vio-
lent as there were a few bruises on my
head the next day, and I jumped to
the conclusion that I had been unman-
ageable and the police had to subdue
me My predicament is a funny one.
I am the only man in the world with
out a name. Well, gocd-by, Lieutenant"

PARTED FIFTY-FlVE YEARS..
Mrs. Sarah Jane Evans Remains
True to T. B. Stewart.

Parkersburg, w. Va, Nov. Sd. B.
Stewart and Miss Sarah Jane Evans
had loved for fifty-five years, and they
may be married in the near future.
They would have been married half
a century ago had it not been for the
opposition Of the girls parents, who
positively refused to sanction their
nuptials. After satisfying himself that
that Miss Evans would not marry with
out the approval Of her family, Stew
art gave her up, and a few years later
married another lady with whom he
lived happily until about two years
ago when she lied.
Miss Evans remained true to her first
love and never married. During the
past summer the former lovers met by
chance, the old love revived, they again
plighted their troth, and the approach
ing wedding is announced, this time, it
is believed, with no possibility Of an in
side Of seventy.
During their separation Stewart serv-
ed in the confederate army, where by
bravery he advanced from the ranks to
the position Of major, and after the
close Of the war he became a success
full business man and accumulated a
handsome fortune.
The interest taken by the public in
the romance was proven when over 500
persons gathered at the weekly prayer
meeting in the Presbyterian church,
brought together by a rumor that the
ceremony would take place Immediately
after the benediction. 1t was h big
gest prayer meeting ever held in the
town, and it was with great difficulty
that the audience could be made to be-
lieve that the report that the wedding
was to be celebrated at the time was
untrue.

From Alaska.

G. w. Rinehart received letter few
days ago from his son w. N. Rinehart
who is in Skagway, Alaska, from which
the GLoBE is allowed to CLEAN the follow
ing facts concerning that country. Mr..
Rinehart is In business at Skagway and
is doing we'll. but says he has no great
confidence in the country. The boom is
the greatest, he thinks, that has ever
been known in the Northwest. Six large
ships were lying In the harbor the day
he wrote and l5 others were due within
q week. The weather was very mild
and spring-like and the coldest during
the winter was 4 below zero. There are
about 1000 people in Skagway and the
same in Dyea. There has only been 80
deaths in the town since it was started
six months ago. He thinks there is
likely to be great suffering in that coun-
Try next fall and winter. Wm. Mattock,
formerly OF pendldton, is Mr.. Rinehart's
business partner, and two other Mattock
boys, Geo. Greenwood and brother and
John Davidson are also there. Mr.. Rine-
hart and family expect to visit his par
ents at this place this fall.
