TROOPS MOBILlZED.
ARE ORDERED TO THE SOUTH.
Entire United States Army Will soon De
Under Way to Points Convenient TO
in

Washington, April 15.-Decidedly the
most warlike step taken by the depart
ment for the possibility of an encounter
with Spain. was inaugurated to-day
when orders were issued for the concen-
tration at four points in the South OF
six regiments of cavalry, thirty-two
regiments of infantry and the light bat
ferries of five regiments of artillery. AT
Chickamauga there will be six regl-
ments of cavalry and the light batteries
of five regiments of artillery; at New
Orleans eight regiments of infantry; at
Tampa seven regiments of infantry ana
at Mobile sevent regiments of infantry.
Since the Civil War no such proportion
of the army has been mobillzed, ana
the movement itself is the best evil
dence of the gravity of the SITUATION
as looked upon by the President and
his advisers.
The determination to rendezvous the
troops in the South, where they can
be acclimated TO the conditions OF
more tropical climate, has been under
consideration by the President and his
Cabinet for some time. 1t was not I'M
til to-day. however, that the President,
in view of the enormous expense which
will be entailed, felt justified in taking
this step.
When Secretary Algef returned from
the C.binet meeting he at once called
into conference General Miles and Ad-
jutant General Corbin, and acquainted
them with the result of the Cabinet $
deliberations. There were hurried
consultations. in which the quarter
master general, who has charge of the
transportation of troops, the commits
sary general who looks after their
subsistence, and representatives, in
Washington of the various railroads
running to the South, participated.
The orders. as finally given, contem-
plate the movements of troops to the
places indicated. as follows:
To Chickamauga battlefield: The
First, Second. Third, Sixth, Ninth
and Tenth regiments of cavalry and
the light batteries of five regiments of
artillery.
To New Orleans: The First. Seventh,
Eighth, Twelfth, Sixteenth, Eigh-
teenth, Twenty-third and Twenty
fourth regiments of infantry.
To Mobile: The Second, Third,
Tenth, Eleventh, Nineteenth, Twen-
tieth, and Twenty second regiments of
infantry.
To Tampa: The Fourth. Fifth, Sixth,
Ninth. Thirteenth, Seventeenth, Twen-
ty-first regiments of infantry.
The heavy batteries of artillery in
each of the five regiments mentioned
will remain mt their present posts. The
two new regiments of artillery au-
thorized by Congress have not been
recruited to their full strength, and in
addition are not well equipped with
horses and other necessary requisites
for service, and, therefore, are not in
cluded in to-day's orders. The depart
ment has so distributed the twenty-five
regiments of infantry at convenient
places on the Gulf that they will be ac-
cessible for transportation to Cuba
| Proposals have been invited from
steamship companies for charterine
vessels to the government for this
work.

No city in the United States surpass-
es Philadelphia in the average intelli-
gence and honesty of its citizens. No
city in the United States equals Phila-
delphia in the rascality Of its govern
ment Why is it that Philedal-
phia instead of being among the
best governed of American munich
palities. is undeniably the worst ?
Why is 1t that the city which ought
TO be a model is an awful example
Philadelphia has noble company of
political economists, and a grand ar
ray OF philanthropists who never fail
to take an active part in national af-
fairs. And all the while the looting Of
Philadelphia's treasury goes on. brib-
cry and corruption continue, and po-
litical banking robs the widow and the

POWERS MAY INTERPRET
Discussing the Propriety of Appealing to
This Government.

This Govern nment.
Washington, ID. c., April 14.-lt was
learned tonight in high diplomatic
quarters that an exchange OF notes
had been begun between the European
capitals with a view of making strong
representations on the Spanish-Ameri-
can situation. In the same connection,
an informal meeting of the ambassa-
doris and ministers in this city or the
six great powers of Europe was held
late in the day. Several of the foreign
establishments received cable advlces
form their governments tonight as 10
the opening of the exchange OF notes.
Simultaneous with the opening OF
the exchange word came from Madrid
that the Spanish government was
about to issue another appeal TO the
great powers of Europe. 1t Is under
stood that this appeal is an initiatory
to the concerted action of the powers
and there is an apparent agreement in
advance that the appeal will receive
favorable consideration. 1t is said that
Spain's appeal will recite her griev-
ances against the United States, stating
in detail the many concessions she has
made. and pointing out that it was IN
response to the urgent representation
of the powers that the last concession
of an armistice was granted.
If the powers determine to act, their
influence will he apparently directed to-
ward inducing the United States TO
grant Spain sufficient time within
which to try the armistice recently pro-
claimed.

Hampton Roads, Va, April 15.-The

which caused so much excitement on
Wednesday, returned to-day to an
chorage at Fort Monroe, after having

Nowhere in the south is such con-
tempt shown for the negro as was ex-
hibited for the negro who succeeded
in being elected to the office of council
man in Boston, says the Atlanta Con-
stitution. In that city negro is made
to feel that he is a negro. Here in the
south every well behaved and respect
able negro is treated courteously. In
Boston the negroes are shut out of the
trades. In the south they are found
