TROOPS AT TAMPA.
The Massing OF the Regulars at THAT
Point is Causing Much Interest.
Co,ored G Companies TO Follow.

Chickamauga National Park, April
2S.-Two companies of the Ninth (col-
ored) cavalry, which arrived in Chat
tanooga late this afternoon, were
stopped after having started to Chicka-
mauga and switched into the Western
and Atlantic yards. orders are said to
have been received to have the troops
to proceed as rapidly as possible to
Tampa, Fla, at which point troops
from Mobile have also been ordered,
and they will leave here before morn
ing. 1T is currently reported that the
companies of the Ninth regiment in
camp here will be shipped at once to
Tampa, az well as the Twenty-fourth
infantry, Colored. The movement of
troops to Tampa is believed to embrace
not only the colored troops, but all the
artillery stationed here as well.
The shipment of the Ninth cavalry,
followed by the sudden departure to-
day of two batteries of artillery for
Tampa, has produced a fever of eX-
citement among the soldiers.

SPAIN WILL APPEAL TO POWERS.
Claims International Law Is Violated
by the Cuban blockade.

Madrid, April 2S.-In the senate today
General DonOsO greatly eulogized the
captain of the transport Monserrat for
running the blockade. Admiral Ber-
mejo, minister of marine, replying,
said the government had decided to
offer a decoration on the officer.
Senator TOca declared that the
blockade of a part of the Cuban coast
was contrary to international law and
calculated to cause great injury to neu-
trails. He hoped that neutral powers
would act "in behalf of their own in
terests" and urged the government to
issue a circular note to the powers ex-
planning the situation.
Admiral Bermejo promised that the
government would take up the ques-
tion with a view of communicating it's
conclusions to the powers.
