So tn. War Department Is Advised
A. TO the Trouble Reported
at Fort Ringgold.

Washington. Nov. 23.-At the war
department il is stated that the m
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, ana
the belief is expressed that it has
been exaggerated as to its proper
tions.
The secretary of war has sent
dispatch to Gov. Savers 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. Ii is not now
the present intention of the war de-
partment TO remove the troops from
Ringgold. as il is believed that the diff
ficulties can be corrected without such
action. IL is quite likely shat more
experienced officer will be sent to
command AT Ringgold.
