PROTEST COMES QUICKLY
Recommendation of General Barry as
to Enlistment of Colored Troops
ArouSeS Savannah Mayor.

The recommendation of General Bar
ry, commanding the department Of the
gulf, in his annual report, that negroes
be enlisted in the artillery and compa-
nies then be assigned to the seacoast
forts from Virginia to the gulf, instead
of white companies, has aroused unfa-
Yorable comment in Savannah
If General Barry's recommendations
were carried out, Fort Screven would
be included in the scheme and negro
soldiers stationed there.
Mayor Myers is outspoken in his de-.
nunciation OF the scheme, and stated
that he would write the senators and
congressman from Georgia, asking
them to oppose it. Mayor Myers said:
This thing as prcposterous. Gen,
eral Barry is certainly not posted
when he says that by reason of mos
quitoes, bad water, etcetera, the south
ern forts are undesirable.
There are no moro mosquitoes at
Fort Screven than there are on the
Jersey or New York coasts. The water
is OF the very best. We certainly would
not make a pleasure resort out of a
place so undesirable.
ITO place negroes in the fort at Ty-
bee would ruin our resort.
II think the whole south ought to
take up the fight against quartering
negro soldiers at our forts. shall
write our senator's and congressman
concerning the matter, and have them
watch out for the report when it
comes before congress. There will be
determined fight made on the adop-
tion Of the report, if | have anything
to do with it,"

SANTO DOMINGO, Jan. is. The
revolutionary General Navarro having
seized cattle on IN estate at La Fe,
which is am American property, the
agent of the estate applied to United
States Minister Powell for protection.
The minister was compelled to refuse
the request, as he had no force at his

The force on the United States gum

from p%illngers, and in order TO protect
United States property there is great
need of a larger warship here. If the
revolutionists should enter the city just
now it would be impossible to prevent
the pillage which would be sure to take
place, and there is no other warship
here to support the Newport should 1t
