THE SCHOOL AT FORT MUNR0E.
Art and Science Of War Dropped and Coast De-
fense Substituted.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, August 19.-Colonel
Ward, Acting Adjutant General of the
Army today promulgated a series Of
orders governing the United States ar
tillery school at Fort Monroe, Va. Some
changes have been made in the reguIa-
tions at the suggestion of Colonel Ram
dolph, chief of artillery. The new or
der exempts student officers from all
ordinary garrison routine, including
court martials. boards of survey and
such drills as are not included in the
course of instruction. The enlargement
of Fort Monroe and the increase of the
garrison to eight companies of artillery
makes this change possible. Colonel
Randolph thinks it is very desirable as
the studies of officers should not be in
terfered with by other duties. In the
course of instruction, art and sciencqz
OF war has been dropped and coast de-
fence has been substituted. As the a.
tillery school at Fort Monroe will
almost entirely attended by officers
the coast artillery it was thought tn
coast defence would be practically II
art and science of war. Former instrucY
tion under this head necessary for field
artillery will be carried on at the ar
tillery school at Fort Riley, Kansas.
The other features of the orders are.
the Same as last year.

Wards Where the Negroes Held the
Balance Of Power and Fully
Realized Il.

The proposition by the board of alder
men to issue another $4,000 of bonds for
street improvements was yesterday de-
feated, after a lively campaign and a
hotly contested election.
To carry bond elections it is necessary
to secure a majority of the registered
vote for bonds. not majority of the
vote cast So in yesterdays election
though $50 votes were cast for bonds and
only 372 against them, they were de-
feated by a majority of S5 That is to
say the bond proposition failed for the
want of S5 more votes.
Only one ward (the First) gave a ma
jority for bonds, and this was a majority
of only 8. The other three wards went
against bonds, as follows: Second, 5;
Third, 4; Fourth, 10.

his vote; and if either side is to be be-
lieved the other spent COOLIES" Of money
in getting it..
The polls closed at 646 and the vote
was quickly counted. In the First ward
every body was excluded from the polling
place and the doors locked while the
count went on.
The result of the election was not due
to opposition to bonds, but to lack of
confidence in the present administration.
Many men who are strong advocates of
city improvements by the issue of bonds,
voted yesterday with the opposition be-
cause they did not believe the bond
money hitherto voted had been wisely
spent. They were unwilling to vote
further money until there is a change of
administration.

LOYALTY OF NEW MexIcANs.

The outbreak OF the civil var com
pletely diverted the attention Of the
federal government from its Mexican
acquisitions, says the Las Vegas Op-
tic, which were generally regarded
throughout the east rather as distant
colonies than as important parts of
the republic. We are told that when
the military divisions west OF the Al
leghanies were being made in 1861.
the department OF Mexico. which in
fact only included New Mexico, was
intrusted TO Col. Edward X. 5. Candy,
but no money was appropriated nor
men enlisted for it's defense. The far
west as a possible point OF attack
was not considered. Yet this was pre-
eisely the quarter that was menaced,
and the loyalty OF the citizens OF New
Mexico saved the nation from over
whelming calamity. Some southern
statesmen had conceived and set on
foot a plan, which, IL il had been car
ried to a successful issue would have
completely changed the result OF the
war OF the rebellion. This was TO
enter New Mexico from Texas, take
possession Of the territory, which was
at that time believed TO be in sympa'
thy with the Confederate cause; seize
the munitions OF war in its forts and
those OF the sister territory OF Arr.
IONA whose southern procliyities We're
undoubted; march into Colorado,
where there were many secessionists,
the Confederate flag having been
raised in Denver; pass into Utah,
where they were sure OF succor from
the Mormons, who were bitter against
the federal government. With the
forces gathered in these territories, no
trouble was anticipated In subduing
Nevada and marching directly to and
occupying California, the objective
point of the expedition, where little
opposition was expected, as, according
10 the Calhoun plan, that was to have
been a slave state and many Of It's
people were southerners. Thus the
C~onfederatcs would have secured a
coast line which no navy could block
AIDE, also this mineral and agricultural
resources OF this teeming country.
IL was natural TO infer that New
Mexico would favor the south, as her
acquisition and development were
largely due to the efforts of southern
men. Although the New Mexicans
were known 10 be strongly opposed to
negro slavery, they were regarded as
sympathizing with slave holders since
they maintained the system actually
in the %enslayement OF Indian captiyes
and virtually in peonage or slavery
