necessary so that the Russians would

The second dispatch which may
have significant bearing on the cam
paign is that filed at Mukden at 9:27
p. m. Thursday, saying that the train
service between Mukden and Lao
Yang was interrupted and it may
mean the cutting Of railroad commun-
ication which would deprive General
Kuropatkin Of q ready opportunity to
retreat to his mere northern base at
Mukden. AS pointed out in the st.

NEGROES AT MANASSAS.
Presence of Company Of CoIored
Troops at Maneuyers Cause
Trouble at the Very Start.

A very bitter feeling exists between
the regiments of southern troops and
the colored contingent from Connec-
ticut attending the maneuvers at Ma
naSSas
Standing in cluster of excited off,
GERS, an officer in a Maryland regi-
ment said: "It's all right as long as
they keep the negroes on their side
Of the field. 1 don't see what they
wanted to bring them here for any
way. The negroes did not amount to
much in war except as casus belli.
Now they rub them under our noses
in the army maneuvers and give them
a camp next to ours
A boyish looking subaltern belong
ing to 2 Georgia regiment entering
along the road Monday met a squad
of colored troops under command of
colored captain. 1t is the custom
for subalterns to salute. The colored
officer looked at tn Georgia boy fixed
ly. The boy captered on without rec.
ognizing him.
On account of this bitter feeling ev-
cry militia company is being searched
for ball cartridges. Army officers
throughout the field are greatly ex-
cited over the i'll feeling engendered
by the presence of colored troops, and
are taking steps at this late hour to-
relegate them to guard duty at camp
during the maneuvers.
The lief feeling developed Monday
at General Grants camp between sol
diers of the First South Carolina in
fantry, the First Texas infantry and
the First Georgia infantry on the one
side and the colored Connecticut regl-
ment. Many of the southern soldiers
have declined to salute negro officers.
It was discovered that in spite Of
precautionary measures takend bali
cartridges have been brought ilto the
two big camps. A rigid inspection
was ordered Monday night and the
belt Of every soldier will be inspected
before tue companies go into acton.
Orders for rush to positions were
given in ( 9th maneuTer camps exactly
at midnight Monday night. The "Blue"
army, under General Grant, was put
under way to attack the Brown
army, Inder General Bell. The or
ders of General Bell sent his forces
towards his adversary at double
quick 1t is his desire to reach a po-
sition ns,r the center Of the maneuver
field and stop the attacking force,
whose dut yit is to force a passage
through Thoroughfare Gap. Careful
estimates OF these marches indicate
that at daybreak collision between
the opposing forces will take place
somewhere near Groveton, memora-
Bile spot in the Bull Run field. From
this first collision the Brown" army
can fall ack, if necessary, to success
siye positions towards Thoroughfsre.
The PLANS of neither commander
have been divulged, but the problem
makes plain to military strategists the
course that will be followed in all
likelihood.
