STRIKE ORDERS UNCHANGED

The suspense of the local mtlitiamen was unbroken by any extra orders or extraordinary ruuiors from .Birming- ham yesterday. The men literally obey cd the orders of Friday to keep in read mess to go at an instant's notice to Bir- mingham. It is believed that if the word had been said by the Governor, the local commanding officers would have rounded up the men In less than two hours and had them prepared for the journey to the mineral district.
 The feature of yesterdays military development was the announcement by AdJutant General Bihb Graves tEs. the strike situation in the Birmingham dis- trict would not interfere with the en- campment in chifkamauga Park by the Alabama NAtIonkL Guard. Every conn pany of infantry or battery of artillery which has been scheduled to 20 I'd chickamauga will leave here July aa, according to orders already received, sent to Birmingham.
 The situation in Birmingham" said AdJutant General Graves yesterday.
 unless It grows materially worse. will not cripple our plans of joint nlanetvers in chickamauga. Even if some of the men should be required for riots around birmingham the-remainder would stire- " go on to encampment. The hesaon Is apparent. If the guardsmeI ars ir Chickamauga Park they will really be more accessible than if they were seat- tered in various parts of Alaba ma

 The AdJntant General said, yesterday, he had had 2 phone conyersationl with Col. E. Kennedy. Of the srd Ala Dama Infantry. and with SheriR fflK- don. of Jefferson County, relative To, the Birmingham strike situation. These men, while expressing the belisf3 fffat the conditions, were such as to catIee alarm. did not see that addftlonaf troops were then necessary. The ir,- dications were that orders for more time.
 Troop D Did Not Go.
 Notwithstanding the apparent au- thority of the report that Troop b Of the squadron of cavalry, had been or- dered Friday afternoon to proceed to Birmingham. 1t developed yesterday that such was not the case. Troop D spent the day in Montgomery yes- terday. attending to the routine of camp duties at Camp Wiley. near Pick ett Springs This Is the Birmingham cavalry organization. and 1t was ru- n1ored that the men had been called to the region with which they were sup ; posed to be more familiar than any other unit of that wing of the Guard.
 The Montgomery True Blues, the Montgomery Greys, Battery B. Com pany c of Selma, and Company I of Anniston, are under orders to keep in readiness to go to Birmingham on short notice. The commanding officers of these units have in their possession sealed orders. it Is understood, which are to be opened the moment that com- naand reaches them. to march on the turbulent district upstate. These scaled orders contain detailed in- structions for the conduct of men. it. ia understood. which are to be careful ly followed in such an emergency as seems to be at hand.
 No additional ammunition has been sent to Birmingham from Montgomery Friday the gatiing guns of Captain Todd's battery B were shipped to Bir- mingham together with several thous- and rounds of Springfield cartridges. but these seem to have been sufilcient for the hour thus far. Captain Todd has his men prepared to follow his guns to the scene if the command of the Governor reaches him.
