1udlow from the beginning of their official rela-
,lons Colonel Moulton was carrying out plans

suggestions. General Ludlow. as commander Of
the Department and responsible for its admins
,raton had his own ideas. Colonel Moulton de-
clned to resign. the ground that such
curse would be a reflection on himself. He
therefore awaited the orders superseding him,
which we're issued to-day. AS both Evans and
Noulton are volunteer officers. the change does
not Indicate antagonism on the part of the Reg
ulars The organization Of the police force was
well advanced by Colonel Moulton. and the en-
tire force was to have been In operation by Feb

occupation may be shortened. He said both
classes must forget their rancors; that he has
made war against Spain and not against span
iards. Some Spaniards attended the reception
and one Of them made an address eulogizinS

sitv Of something more than good counsel seems
10 have existed at Caibarien, because three
minor chiefs Of Gomez's troons were charged
with completely I'm the murder OF a spanish
svrnnathizer. Gomez delivered them to the
