diate steps to render every assistance

"A. r. Lawton, Savannah, Ga: Blount,
sheriff, wires for Liberty Troop. I doubt
propriety of sending them and leave it to
your discretion. Have wired Hughes, cap
tain Liberty Troop, to hold command in
readiness to respond if you call for it, but
TO do nothing until you order him. The
people of Mcintosh county are excited.
The situation demands cool head. You
have 1t. and 1 must rely on you to ex-
ercise that wise discretion which 1, so far
away, cannot exercise. If necessary, re-
turn to Darien.
"A. D. Gambler, Governor"

Acting Adjutant General Byrd during the
day. A large number of carbines have
been sent to Darien, and a supply of am
munition is en- route by special messen-
ger, as the express company refused to
carry it, owing to its explosive character.
The Governor is in telegraphlc commu-
nication with the seat of trouble.

Washington. Aug 25.-(SpeclaD As a
result of the recent consultation between
the President and Secretary Root orders
were issued to-day providing for the es-
tablishment of an additional regiment of
volunteers. to be composed of colored re
cruits
Lieut.. Col. Duval, now on duty at the
Plattsburg barracks is to be made colonel
of the new regiment, and the field and
regimental officers viii he white men The
headquarters win be Mcpherson barracks,
Atlanta, ana the work OF recruiting win
begin at once.
The regiment is to be organized for duty
In the Philippines. Commanding General
Miles recommended the establishment of
five colored regiments, but il was not
deemed advisable to enlist such large
number of colored troops at the present
time. It is probable that other colored
regiments viii be organized If the demand
for more troops becomes urgent.
The regiment provided for is not In
cluded among the ten created under the
recent call of the President, but is an in
dependent organization created In response
TO the appeals made to the President and
the Secretary of War from leading co,ored
men in the South, backed up by Demo-
cratic leaders in Georgia Florida and
Alabama. II is understood the new regi-
ment viii be recruited largely in the three
states named.
Judson Lyons and other prominent col
ored men have been urging recoan,tion for
colored troops with the greatest Persist

are gratined at the success of thsir e.

of the colored troops to display their mil

OF colorei troops 70 the Philippines VII
