| CAMP THOMAS, z Chickamauga.
Aug. 3.-The hopes of the men Of the
Twelfth and Fourteenth regiments
ceived of the list of regiments assigned
to go to Porto Rico with Gen. Wade.
The men are consoling- themselves to-
night with the sour grapes reflection
| that those who do go will not see much
| more of real war than those who STAY
| at Chickamauga. In fact, the Mime
| sofa men have now settled down into
belief that they have been as near
! active service as they are likely to get,
unless the United States mixes 1t up
with Emperor William or Aguinaldo.
The report from Washington giving
the list of regiments that have been
designated to constitute Gen. Wade's
provisional division includes only the
| following regiments encamped at
Chickamauga: First New Hampshire,
First Maine, First Vermont. First West
! Virginia, Third Tennessee. First Ar
kansas and Fifty -second Iowa
AS to when the regiments to consti-
! tute Gen. Wade's force would proceed
| there was no inkling here this even
ing.
| The Twelfth Minnesota wagon train
| took part in the review yesterday af-
| terTroon and made a good showing
w
| master were in charge of the train,
| Maj. Wright continues quite sick In
| Chattanooga.
| The regiment is still expecting to
move camp with the view to getting
| on to higher ground.
| The Fifth Illinois infantry, after nu-
| merouts disappointments, finally got
| away toward the scene of action today.
At 4:3O o'clock the regiment broke
camp and marched nine miles to Ring
| gold, Ca, where the trains were in
| waiting to convey it to Newport News.
The loading was done rapidly, and be-
| fore noon the last of the trains had
| pulled out
| The continuous rain of the past ten
| days at Camp Thomas has resulted in
| a general desire to change camps, and
! the regiments are, as rapidly as they
| can get permission, moving their COM
! panies to new locations. The damp
ness of the wooded territory has made
| the open fields look quite inviting, and
| the result is that already number of
regiments, including the cavalry, have
pitched their tents in the open fields,
and now have the full benefit Of a gen.
| erouS sunshine. .ly,
A movement is now on foot to invite
| Secretary of War Alger to visit Camp
| Thomas, and the invitation will likely
be forwarded and strongly pressed dur
| ing the next few days. so many I'M
| true stories have been told about the
/ sanitary condition at the camp that it
| is the desire of those interested to have
the secretary make thorough inspec-
| ton and settle the matter once for all.

Paris, Oct. 2o.--In spite Of semi-of-
fetal denials the Echo de Paris asserts
that the embarEation Of war materials
and supplies continue OF Toulon, adding
that extraordinary activity reiSns at
the arsenal there A number of irons
clGds. 1t claims, are getting ready for
service. embarlling ammunition and
war materials 1t is further asserted
the transports Bein-Hoa and Gironde
are almost ready for sea. All the
French naval officers on leave of abb
sence have been ordered to return to
their vessels.
In Toulon and Brest every nerve is
strained to get ready for war, which
may break out on short notice. The
Paris press is growing more and more
determined to back up extreme meas
ures, even a resort to arms. The French
have been excessively piqued by the
threatening tone Of the English pa
pers.
Consequently the outlook here is
hurrying from Paris to Brest and Tou-
Ion. The artillery in the batteries and
at the various ports have been con-
fidently instructed for any emergency
and the cannon at all forts and bait
teries are kept ready for action at any
moment.
The Paris correspondent of the Lon
don Standard telegraphs that paper:
clio m
Marchand must go France will reply
that Marchand will stay, and If he be
removed forcfbly there can be little
doubt as to what the consequences will
be-"
on the other hand the Paris CORE
spondent of The Daily Graphic tele~
graphs his paper:
II have good reason for stating that
Count Muravieff, the Russian foreign
minister, has discouraged French re-
sistance in the matter of Fashoda."
The Temps, commenting upon the
sensational stories of naval mobiliza-
ton, says: while the political situa-
tion necessarily induces unusual Wig
ilance and activity it must not be for
gotten that the present naval move
nients are principally an Inauguration
of the reforms planned by M. Lockroy
when he was appointed minister of ma
rine and which he desires to have COM
pleted prior to Jan. l next-reforms
whereby the squadrons and ports will
always be ready and clear for action
and fully equipped within a few days ="
After enumerating the proposed flu
ture strength of the various squadrons
intended for coast defense The Temps
concludes as follows: ashore our
military works are quite ready and
certainly the best disposition is being
made of the means at the disposal of
the navy, even If before the date men
toned the hoped for solution, agreeable
to both countries, should be found for
the Fashoda question"

dos Followers In Manila Bay.
London, Oct. 20.-The Madrid eorre-
spondent of The Times says: Captain
Aunon, the minister Of marine, has re-
ceived a dispatch from Manila an
nouncing a naval engagement between
the Americans and the rebels, in con-
sequence of Admiral Dewey forbidding
the latter to fly the rebel flag from
their ships The dispatch adds that
there We're losses on both sides, but
that the Americans captured the rebel
ships The scene of the engagement is
not stated, but it is supposed to have
been Manila bay"
Madrid, Oct. 20.-The cabinet today
forwarded to the Spanish peace COM
missioners at Paris an official dispatch
received from Manila reporting an en-
gagement between the American and
insurgent warships, growing out of the
refusal of Admiral Dewey to allow the
insurgents to fly their flag from their
ships.
Washington, Oct 20-As far as could
be ascertained no information regard
ing the reported naval engagement has
been received at the navy department.
The dispatch created considerable i'm
terest in Washington. Recently the
newspapers contained a statement that
Admiral Dewey had dispatched one or
two of his ships to another position of
the Philippine group on a mission of
some Importance, and the suggestion is
made unofficially that it may have been
these vessels which have been engaged
in combat with the insurgents.

High Price For Meats in Germany


Washington, Oct 20.-A powerful
agitation has commenced in Germany
against the high duties and numerous
restrictions by which the government
has nearly stopped the importation of
live animals and greatly increased the
price of meat products. This is the
substance of a report made to the state
department by Dean Mason, vice and
deputy consul general at Frankfort He
says that the price of meat has in
creased so that there is a decided de-
crease In the consumption. One re-
suit Of this high price has been a
marked increase in the amount of cured
meat imported This, Mr.. Mason says,
is peculiarly advantageous to the Uni
ted States, which can export meat pro-
ducts to Germany far more readily
than live stock.

Predicted bySir Michael Hicks Beach.
Chancellor of the Exchequer.
London, Oct 20.-Sir Michael Hicks
Beach, chancellor of the exchequer,
speaking at North Shields last evening,
announced that the government had
opened negotiations with the powers
with a view of securing to the sub
jects of the various powers the right
of developing the respective spheres
in which each country is especially in
terested."
Regarding the Fashoda question he
said he wished cordially to acknowl
edge the desire evidenced in the
speeches of Lord Rosebery and Her
bert Asquith to help the government
in the matter, "a matter which might
develop to the utmost gravity"
'It is impossible" he continued. "for
France to maintain that she has po-
litical rights at Fashoda. She has
naturally and properly asked for time
to receive Major Marchand's report,
but until the contrary is proved l de-
cline to believe that France will refuse
to withdraw. If she refused the mat
ter would assume an aspect as grave
as is possible between two great ma
tions.
1.-THE government is animated by the
friendliest spirit toward France, and
does not wish to infiict humiliation.
What we desire is fair treatment Our
work in Egypt is not completed. AT
RIGA is big enough for us both-for
France in the west and ourselves in

TO agree to respect one another's rights

/ ton is capable of a friendly solution.

Washington, March Developments
at the state. war and navy depart
ments in connection with the Spanish
situation have divided themselves into
two distinct branches, one relating to
the Maine court of inquiry and the
other to the natural and necessary
steps to place the naval and military
arrangements on an efficient basis.
Concerning the court and it's work the
highest naval officials reiterate that
nothing is at hand to indicate even the
tendencies of the members of the court
from the evidence they have thus far
received Admiral Sicard's telegram
plans of the court, and this in effect
is that it will be some time before the
testimony of the divers and other wit
nesses can be taken, and an idea
formed as to the date of submitting
the report.
