Utah,s troops will go to Manila to do

Wells has SO been informed by the Ad-

army, in a telegram as follows:
Referring to telegram OF May eth
stating that the two light batteries of
your state would be ordered to Camp
George II, Thomas, Chickamauga Park,
you are informed that the two light
batteries and the troops of cavalry
from your state will be ordered to San
Francisco. Please note change. Horses
for the troops and for the two light
batteries will be furnished in San
Francisco, but all other equipments
will have to go with them.
The governor replied that the troops
would be ready to go as soon as they
were equipped The batteries are
short of guns. These will probably be
supplied from the Rock Island arsenal.

The order for the movement OF

and all energies are being bent to meet

The urgency of the order has been
interpreted by some to mean that the
government fears that the seat Of ag.

Manila by Spain, and it is not going to
allow the Notifications to be manned
by Spaniards in the event that Dewey

1t was suggested by some Of the
members of the war board that there
was just possibility that the Spanish
squadron might take quick passage

is said that. contrary To the common

this course they would have long

Washington, May n.-One effect of

should Hold the Islands with Army Of
Negroes.
London, May 1.-THE Spectator, in
an article today urges America to keep
the Philippine islands, to raise a color
ed army of 10000 men 'sand with this
effective sepoy army, hold the Philip
pine islands, Hawaii and Porto Rico,
paying the army of occupation out OF
the local revenues
Referring to the outcome of the war,
the Spectator remarks: THE Amer.
leans will emerge from the war with
new ideas and larger ambitions. They
will have defeated seeond-class Euro
pean state and will feel acntely, that
as matters stand they would have beer
defeated by frst-class one. They
could not have fought France, to say
nothing of Great Britain, without suf
! fering grave defeats at sea and enor
nous losses on land. That is not this
position which suits American temper
and Washington will set itself abou
to construct a hrst-elass iron fleet
That once built, the desire for a posi-
tion in the world equal to their posi-
! tion among nations will compel then
to abandon the idea of non-interven
tion and change the Monroe doetrin
