Atlanta, Ga, March Q. The Tenth
immunes, colored, Col. Jones, who
were mustered out at Macon yesterday,
began to show their i'll temper as soon
as the train bearing the negroes home
began to move out OF Macon. Produc.
ing revolvers and other arms which
they in some way managed to smuggle
with them, they began firing from the
windows. Bullets flew in every direc-
tion as the train sped on, and passers-
by were compelled 10 seek shelter.
Luckily, only one person was shot in

by ball AS the train passed the
various stations on the road, the
rioting was renewed, shots being
fired from the train at the people
standing on the platforms to see the
train go by. At Griffin, Ga, where
the first section of the train stopped,
occurred the most serious trouble of
the day. When the train stopped the
negroes, who by this time had filled
up on whisky, began firing their pis-
tolls and yelling like Indians. Over
200 shots were fred and the police
were powerless to resist. The city
was at the mercy of the negroes, who
kept up fusillade of shots until the
train was carried beyond the city lin.

Washington, March "a fact In
connection with the regulars who are
now reinforcing Gen. Otis in the Phil
ippines that is giving considerable
satisfaction TO the war department is
that they are all armed with the
"caliber 3O' rifle, commonly known as
the Krag-Jorgensen. There has been
more or less uneasiness over the fact
that the volunteers on the firing line
around Manila we're at decided dis
advantage against the natives, owing
to the fact that the Filipino sharp
shooters armed with Mausers,
could lay out OF range Of the
Springfelds with which our vol.
unteers were armed and pot them to
an extent that was limited only by the
bad craftsmanship of the natives.
This was not only the source of good
many casualties among our troops, but
had bad moral effect on them, since
1t was very trying to be continually
under fire from an enemy who kept
discreetly out of range. With the
arrival OF the regulars this situation
will be completely changed. The re-
Inducements all have the caliber 80
rifle, which is practically just as good
a gun as the Mauser, while in addition
our regular troops are sharpshooters
almost to man.
