Afternoon and the Mcintosh
Troop Tonight by Rail, Both BE-

ON Special Tomorrow Morning
and viii Combine on Cavalry
Train.
All of the difficulties which con-
fronted the cavalry in their trip to
Manassas were smoothed out yester-
day and riders, and horses on the
qui vive to attend the maneuvers.
The principal difficulty was regard
ing cars for the horses, the railroad
companies at first offering ordinary
cattle cars, without separate stalls for
the mounts. There was a great deal
of Kicking over this proposition, as
announced in the Morning News and
a conference was held yesterday be-
tween the Representatives of the Sea-
board and Atlantic Coast Line and
Capts. Gordon and Cassels.
AS a result it was agreed that the
cars should be lined and that separate
stalls put in, lined with sawdust. This
was considered satisfactory by the
commanding officers named, and the
changes are being made.
Pullman car was also secured for
the officers instead of the tourist
sleeper at first offered.
Troops Assembling Here.
Shortly after midnight tonight the
Darien troop will arrive and will spend
the night in the Hussars' Armory. The
Effingham troop will ride in this aft
ernoon, and will also be accommodated
at the armory.
AS a special train two cars from
Jesup, one from Liberty City and one
from Mcintosh will be run into Savan-
nah tomorrow, over the Coast Line,
and will be made up into the special
train carrying the troops and horses.
This full train will be composed of
sixteen cars. the train consisting of
one sleeper, four coaches, two baggage
cars and nine cars for the horses. Ow-
ing to the fact that the train will be
run as passenger train, there will be
less Earring than on a freight train.
The railroad companies have also as
to the horses.
Preparing to Move.
In an order issued yesterday by Capt
Gordon. commanding three troops of
the cavalry, it was stated that the
baggage would be sent from the ar
