WASHINGTON, Sept. le-The mill
tary movements are being directed rap
IDLY towards the assembling OF large
army In southern stations for winter
camps and preparatory to the military
occupation Of Cuba and Porto Rico.
About 10000 troops are now located in
the south and orders will be issued
sending the First, Second, Sixth, Ninth.
and Tenth cavalry from 8iontauk TO
southern stations. The Third cavalry
has already gone south and the First
and Second infantry were yesterday at-
ternoon ordered to Admission and the
Eighth and Sixteenth to Huntsville.
This leaves the Seventh, Twenty-fouFth
and Twenty-hfth infantry, the Second
volunteer engineers and Companies G,
II. Fourth artillery at Montauk. With
in a day or two these last remaining
troops will be ordered south and Camp
wikoft viii be no more.
The purpose is to establish winter
camps between the thirty-first and thIr-
ty-ffth parallels. The major part Of
the army thus assembled is destined for
service in Cuba. with much smaller
force for Porto Rico and a reserve in the
winter camps. 1t Is not intended, how
ever, to send the army of occupation to
Cuba until after the unhealthy season
has passed, and meanwhile the troops
will be put in the best possible eonal-
tlon.
On account of the desire Of the war de-
partment that no chances shall be taken
in the way of exposure of the trOops to
the dangers of the unhealthy season. no
Impauence is felt on account Of the
rather slow progress of the work Of the
commission of evacuation at Havana.
Great satisfaction Is expressed at the
progress being made in Porto Rico and
the evacuation is expected to occur
speedily; but in connection with the oc-
cupatlon ot Porto Rico the same an
xlety as to the health of the army Is not
felt, nor are there similar difficulties in
connection with establishing the govern
ment, Porto Rico becoming at once a
part of the territory of the United
States.
In assembling and organizing the
army for the occupation OF Cuba the
consideration of possible trouble with
the organized insurgents Is not being
taken into serious account. The Hava-
na dispatches stating that there has de-
veloped strong sentiment in favor Of
Independence and opposition to annexa-
tion, coupled with hostility towards the
United States is read with rather an air
OF amusement by officials OF the admins
lstration who suggest that II is absurd
to give as a reason for hostility 90 the
part of cubans toward the United States
that the cubans are in favor nf entire in
dependence. The purpose OF the Cubans
to establish stable Independent form
OF government IS strictly in accordance
with the terms OF the Presidents proc
lamatlon and therefore furnishes no rea-
son for feeling of hostility,
All the information In the possession
OF the war department. 1t is said. indI-
Gates the most cordial relations and har-
mony of purpose between the cubans
and the representatives OF this govern

of life and property has taken place
there. out Of a population Of ll,oOO
three hundred were killed and 10000
were Injured and rendered homeless.
Besides this, owing to the complete de-
structlon Of the provisions, they are all
starving. The island has been abso-

WARRINGTON, Sept. 10.--Paymaster
General Stanton has turned over to the
President oil the papers relating to the
recent unpleasantness growing out OF
the refusal OF Texas regiment to re-
ceive pay from Major Lynch because he
Is colored. The President has taken mo
definite action beyond expressing APP
proval Of General Stanton's course In
sending a sharp dispatch to the COM
mandlng paymaster Of that department,
stating in effect that as Major Lynch
had been regularly Commissioned by the
President as an army paymaster the
troops must take their pay from him or
else go without pay. Thus the matter
stands with the papers before the Prest-
dent. There Is possibility that new
question may arise on the point OF In
subordInatIon In refusing to receive pay
from paymasters regularly commission
ed TO make payments.
