ONLYADRUNKEN BORDER ROW.
So the War Department Is Advised
td the Trouble Reported
Mt Fort RinggOId.

Washington, Nov. 23.-At the war
department it is stated that the in
formation received from the depart
ment of Texas is to the effect that the
trouble at Fort Ringgold is nothing
more than a drunken border row, and
the belief is expressed that it has
been exaggerated as to its proper
tions.
The secretary OF war has sent a
dispatch to Gov Sayers in reply to the
demand for the removal of the troops,
saying that the department had al
ready taken measures to preserve the
peace and restore order. 1t is not now
the present intention of the war de-
partment to remove the troops from
Ringgold as it is believed that the diff
iculties can be corrected without such
action. 1t is quite likely that more
experienced officer will be sent to
command at Ringgold.
