AN ALABAMA
 CAVALRY REGIMENT To Lend Inspiration on the Field. to Maj.-Gen. Jos. Wheeler. A. A. WILEY FOR COLONEL Battalion of Colored Troops Are Expected to Report at Mobile in I've or Three
 Days-WiII Have White
 Commissioned Officers.
Special Dispatch to The Age-Herald

Special Dispatch to The Age Herald.
 Montgomery, May 24.-Major-General Joseph Wheeler has made a personal re- quest to the president that he be author ized to call for regiment of volunteer cavalry in Alabama. The general believes that an Alabama regiment will lend him inspiration in the field. The regiment has already been organized and it's members are anxious to be given an opportunity to distinguish themselves on the field. It is composed of men from Montgomery, Bir- mingham, elma and Troy, and is really an admirable body of soldiers.
 Colonel A. A. Wiley, of this city, is slated for colonel of the proposed organizations; Lieutenant Samuel G. Jones, of the United States army at present being detailed with the Alabama National Guard, for lieuten- ant-colonel; Captains Morson, of Birming- ham, and Atkins, of Selma, for majors, and and MT. Philip Stern, of Montgomery, for adjutant. It is sincerely hoped in Alabama that the president will see fit to give the volunteer cavalrymen from this state chance.
 Among the Alabamians who will serve on General Wheeler's staff are Lieutenant J. II. Reeves, of the Sixth United States cavalry, who is son of Hon. J. H. Reeves, of Center, formerly state examiner of ac- counts, and Lieutenant Joseph Wheeler, Jr., who is a son of the major-general
 The battalion of negro troops from Ala ba1na are expected daily to be ordered to Mobile. There are four companies of them, one from Montgomery, one from Hunts vile, one from Birmingham and one from Mobile. They form as plendid body of men physically, and are apparently very anxious to be put to fighting Spanards. The off1- cers of this battalion will be white men. the major commanding will be an officer or the United States army.
 All of the non-commiss,oned officers will of course, be negroes, and all of the com missioned officers of the companies com posing the battalion, excepting thesHunts- vile company, will be negroes. This IS the only vexing proposition that has developed in connection with enlistment of the bat talion The volunteer white privates vow that while they are willing to abide by any other regulation the army rules may dic- tate they will not salute a colored superior officer, or do guard or other duty under negro captain or lieutenant, as ofhcer or the day or 9icer of the guard.
 Governor Johnston cannot fill Alabamas quota immediately without calling on the negroes and very naturally feels, too, that they deserve to be allowed to serve their country if they so desire. He Is convinced they will make good soldiers, and he Is de- termined to give them chance to show what is in them. The governor Is said to have assured representatives of the white volunteers that there is no danger whatever of any entangling alliances coming about, and 1t is believed that he has arranged to have the Alabama negroes sandwitched in between two regiments of regulars.

Havana Regla.

The total number of deaths in Havana and Regla from smallpox was 2,5S3. repre- senting about 10000 cases of the disease. The reason for decline in August was that the Spanish authorities became alarmed at the number of deaths and transferred many of the sick in Havana province to Mariel and San Antonio de las Vegas. The deaths from yellow fever in other parts of Cuba, in military hospitals, were as follows Cardenas, 235; Matanzas 23S; Cienfuegos, 235; Santiago de Cuba, 65S; Manzanillo, 230 Sagua la Grande, 37S; Holguin, Guines, Remedies Sancti Spiritus and other places. 2,500 making total of 3,451, which, with the deaths in Havana, makes the total number of deaths from yellow fever in military hospitals in Cuba last year 6,047
 The deaths in military hospitals from enteric fever, 2,5O0 enteritis and dysen- tery. 12,OOO; malaria1 fever, 7,OoO kther diseases. 1000. Total S25s4
 This list does not include hundreds of deaths among troops sent back to Spain on the 10th, 20th. and 30th of every month nthe last stages of disease. Fully 40 per cent. of the 30000 sick sent home, the report says, were destined to death. Dr. Bruner says that there is much to be learn ed from the experience of the Spaniards in Cuba The Spanish troops. he says, were not fed properly, nor cared for when sick. Given proper food and medical treat ment. the death rate could have been low cred 30 per cent, and our troops could be protected with proper care from such al high rate. Even the death rate from yell low fever could be lessened fully 30 per cent with proper care.

 ing Frinds at Front.

Washington, May 24.-Two orders in re- lation to mail to and from soldiers and sailors have been issued by Postmaster General Smith. The order regarding mail for United States forces at-the Philippines says:

The sailing dates of the vessels cannot be announced in advance and the articles shall, therefore, be for warded promptly to San Francisco in order that they may be dispatched thence to des- tination at the first opportunity"
 The regulation in regard to mail from forces in the field Is authorized by an act of congress passed in 1879, and is as fol- lows:-

Letters so certified will be for warded charged with postage due at single rates only to be collected on delivery"
 This regulation is in line with bill in- troduced yesterday by MT. Lybrand, Of rtyaer 'ac the mails to officers and enlisted men of the United States forces.
