A Company of Regulars VIII Arrive
Here Tomorrow.
One hundred soldiers from Sante Fe.
New Mexico, win arrive in Savannah to-
morrow morning. 1t is presumed they are
either company of Rough Riders for Col.
Woods regiment, or a company of United
States regulars but no definite informa-
ton is obtainable here as 10 their iden-
Ety Several commands of United States
troops are stationed In that territory, and
it may be that the men coming here from
one of them are moved 10 this point to be
in readiness for embarkation for Cuba or
Porto Rico.
The original intention of the war de-
partment was to send these troops to
Tampa, and orders to that effect were
issued. The company was TO be brought
from Birmingham, Ala, to Albany Ga,
by the Central Railroad, and there turned
over to the Savannah, Florida and West
ern, which was TO carry them on to Jack
sonYille. From that point ii is under
stood, they were soon to leave for Tampa
Yesterday afternoon, though, General
Passenger Agent Halle of the Central. re-
ceiyed a telegram concentrating this or
der and directing the Central to bring the
soldiers directly on to Savannah. The
DINER road was at once notified of the
change in the programme.
The troops are travelling in three Pull
mans, with baggage cars attached. They
win arrive In Birmingham this afternoon
at 4 O'Clock and are expected in Savan-
rah tomorrow morning. What disposition
viii be made of them after they arrive
here is not yet known. Orders win doubt
less he awaiting them here. They may so
into camp at Tybee, or they may be or
dered to some other point perhaps
Charleston. The changing of the orders
would indicate that there is to be no ship
rlent Of troops from Tampa for Santiago
but that the movement is to take place
from this or some other port in this VI
entity.
There is no doubt that it was the war
departments intention TO move a large
number of troops both from
Tampa and Chickamauga. to
Savannah or another port north of
Jacksonville. At Chickamauga prep
arauons are making TO send. troops
somewhere when the orders were received

JOHN HART DROWNED.
Fell Overheard From the steamer
-. MurchiSOn.


Mr.. John Hart, aged 50 years, living on
the Pine Barren road, near Pooler, was
drowned in the Savannah river yesterday
morning lie was a truck farmer, but
formerly lived in Savannah, being we'll
known to a large number of people,
Mr. Hart accidentally toppled into the
river about 10 O'Clock from the steamer
d. Murchison, at the foot of Barnard
street. He came to the city Monday with
the intention of remaining only that day,
but was detained longer. In the forenoon
he went TO the river front for some pur-
pose, stopping at the steamer and went
aboard. lie had been feeling i'll, but
grew worse shortly after going aboard The
boat, and went 20 the edge. There being
no railing where he stood, he lost his bal
ance and fell head foremost, and was mo-
mentarily lost sight of. Being a good
swimmer, however he arose to the sur
face and began frantic efforts to save him
self.
Lines were thrown out to assist the
drowning man, but being engrossed in his
own efforts he probably did not see the
ropes. His heavy shoes and clothing were
against him in the struggle, and after COM
ing to the surface twice he sank and was
not seen again. The body was later recoV-
cred, and turned over to Coroner Goette
1t was taken to the home of Mr.. Francis
Hart, No. 142 Montgomery street.
The unfortunate man was a brother of
Francis and James Hart, grocers at JEFF
ferson and ST Julian streets and leaves
seven children. The funeral viii take
place this afternoon from his brother
residence.

The Street Railway Company would
doubtless increase its revenues If it start

One of the curios or relies of the old
system is still kept up, namely, that of
starting a car from the city for Thunder
bolt, Isle of Hope and other suburban
places and running no car from down town
to connect witR it,
Some years ago, when this arrangement
was complained Of the reason given for
not having a down town connection with
the a. m. car was that very few people
went out on that car. The wonder is that
any one goes on it.
The new superintendent might look into
this matter and see if it would not be well
TO try to encourage and increase business
on the outside lines by attending to such
little details

Additions to BE Made to the Depart
ment.
The fire commissioners intended to hold
a meeting yesterday. 1t was postponed
however, on account of the absence of
Commissioner Hull. The meeting will
likely be one day this week.
1t is understood a number of new fire
men may be placed in the department at
once, to take the places of about eight men
who were laid off by the former commits
sion as an economical measure. More men
are needed at some of the stations, where
machines start out with an inadequate
force to properly handle them. The pol
icy of the new commission is to make the
department more efficient and the opinion
is that strides are being made in that di-
rection.

PROPOSED A REDUCTION

Mckinley Takes It Under Advise
ment-Sixteenth at Cincinnati.

Washington, Sept. 23.-Colonel Bryan
of the Third Nebraska, Governor Hol-
comb and Representative Stark were
at the war department again today and
called on General Corbin. Colonel Bry-
an submitted few more papers, re-
questing the discharge of members of
his regiment. 1t is stated at the de-
partment that all the applications for
discharge submitted by Colonel Bryan
yesterday and today will have to pass
through the regular military channels
and the final determination will be the
recommendation of the corps COM
mander, who is Major General FitZ-
hugh Lee.
The party later had another inter
view with President Mckinley. At it's
close Governor Holcomb said: 1--WE did
not confine our representations to the
Third regiment, but included all the
Nebraska troops in the field.
Nebraska raised three regiments for
the war. OF these the First regiment
is at Manila, the Second is on furlough
and the Third, which is the regiment
commanded by Colonel Bryan, is in
Florida. Leaving the Second regiment
out of consideration, we have 1852 SOL
diers in the field. This exceeds our
quota about 700 men, on the basis of
that the Nebraska force be so reduced
as to bring it down to somewhere near
the correct proportion.
All companies are of the maximum
strength of 106 men and we have Sug-
gested to the president the advisable
ity of reducing them to the minimum
of Sc. This would make a reduction
of 600 in the two regiments and bring
the Nebraska representation in the
army almost to it's proper place. This
arrangement would permit the weed
ing out of men whose circumstances
are such as appeal especially to the au-
thorities for relief. Many of our VOL
unteers left lucrative positions to go to
the war and have families depending
upon them; for these we are seeking to
secure relief"
Governor Holcomb added that the re-
quests were made on behalf of the en-
listed men only and not in the interest
of officers.
''They have the privilege of resigning
if they desire to get out of the service
he said.
The governor stated that no repre-
sentatiOns had been made concerning
the attitude of Colonel Bryan person
ally, and he could not say whether the
colonel would seek to resign or to Sc
cure furlough. "All know positively
concerning his plans is that he will
start for Jacksonville to rejoin his regi-
ment tonight" said the governor.
The president took the representa-
tions of the delegation under considera-
ton, promising to give his response
at an early date.
Colonel Bryan changed his plans
again tonight and decided not to leave
for Jacksonville to join his regiment
until tomorrow. Tonight he had con-
ferences with ex-Reoresentative Kerr,
secretary OF the Democratic congress
leaders

ANOTHER DREYFUS TRAGEDY
Wife Of Deputy Shoots a News
paper Man.

Paris, Sept 23-Madame Paulmier,
wife of NJ Charles Ernest Paulmier,
member of the chamber of deputies
from the department of Calvades, has
added another tragedy to the bewil-
dering intricacies of the Dreyfus plot.
Nine Paulmier today entered the
offices of La Lanterne and asked to
see NJ. Milerand. NJ. Milerand was an
sent and NJ. Olivier, who was present,
stepped forward to receive the lady,
who, without waiting for any explana-
ton, whipped out a revolver and fired
twice NJ Olivier fell to the floor
wounded. He was taken to a hospital.
Nine. Paulmier was taken into Gus
tody, and when questioned answered
coOlly: Il wished to kill NJ. AIilerand." q"
She explained that La Lanterne had
slandered herself and her husband be-
cause her husband had written the let
ter to General Chanoine, the minister
of war, with reference to putting a
stop to the attacks upon the army pro-
voked by the Dreyfus affair.

plished their plan of sitting Colonel

be seen only on an order from the au-
thorities, which order NJ. Labori has
been unable to secure.

At the outset it was thought from
the reading of the platform that the
greatest minds in the party would be
selected for the legislature. A glance
at the list will show that this determi-

platform, was not carried out. No man
on the ticket stands pre-eminent for

TWENTY-FIFTH ORDERED WEST
ANOTHER CoLoRED REGIMENT
FOR THIS DEPARTMENT.
Senator Rawlins Forwards An Ap-
peal For the Mastering Out of
Rough Riders-Shoup Opposes 1t.
lEpeciaI to The FeraId.1

Washington, Sept. 2S.-The war de-
partment this afternoon issued orders
by which the Twenty fifth infantry will
be assigned to duty in Arizona and
other points in the department of Colo
rado. This was a great surprise, as it
has been heretofore supposed that the
regiment would first go to Cuba and
afterwards return to its old location in
Montana.
Congressman Osborne has been dill
gently at work endeavoring to secure
the mastering out of Torrey's regiment.
Senator Rawlins has forwarded an ur-
gent appeal to the same effect. Sen
ator Shoup has urged the Importance
of retaining the troopers in service, at
least until there is no longer possibility
of serious collisions with native forces
in Cuba or the Philippines.
The secretary of the interior today
ordered patented to the Union Pacific
Railway company list of lands con-
tanning 240 acres in the Salt Lake City
district, Utah.
A widows pension of $S per month
was today issued to Mary F. Venable

r San Francisco, Sept. 29.-The Even
which it makes known the plans of the
Germans in regard to the disposition
of the Philippines. 1t will be remem-
bered that some time ago the Post
published an exclusive article regard
ing the seizure Of the Ladrone islands
by the United States. The details of
this plot on the part of the government
were furnished by a gentleman high in
the opinion of government officials Of
this country and Germany. The same
gentleman now states that Germany is
endeavoring to embitter the followers
of AGuinaldO against the Americans
and that she has officers in their ranks,
secretly drilling them. The gentleman
in question says that this has been go
ing on for years and prior to the inter
ference Of the United States in the
Philippine affairs almost every German
vessel that landed there carried one
or more officers in disguise and stacks
of arms and ammunition for the in
SurgentS.
The Posts informant has just re-
ceived a letter from an authoritative
source in Hamburg, giving the details
of Germany's future in the islands.
Briefly the plan is as follows: Ger
many will send numerous trading yes
sells to the islands and will arm 10000
Filippinos, besides furnishing Krupp
guns and artillery for field use. The
islanders will be thoroughly drilled by
German officers, and by February
Senor AguinaldO will be prepared to
make an onslaught upon the American
forces. To aid this plot, the letter
says that Germany is trying to induce
China to purchase a large number of
big war vessels, Ostensibly to strength
en- her navy, but really to be held for
transfer to Germany should comphca-
tions arise.
The German agents, who have made
a report to their government, say that
it viii be impossible for the United
States to land more than $4,000 men
in the Philippines before Aguinaldo is
ready to make his coup. The German
report of the condition of affairs says
that Americas only hope is to disarm
the insurgents.
The Post attributes the recent order
ing of additional troops to Manila af-
ter their mastering out had been or
dered, as an indication that the United
States has been informed of Germany's
attempt to Illustrate American acqui-
Sition of the islands.
