Georgia infantry, Yesterday morninG
received telegram from Adjutant
General Scott. asking him to ascer-
tain at once how many commissioned
officers in Brunswick desired to par

the officer how many in this city
would so and stating that the length
of the stay would be indefinite. Major
Dunn was requested to reply to the
telegram by II O'Clock yesterday
morning
AS soon as he received the message
he visited the various commissioned
officers in this city and four of them
announced that they were ready to
join in the maneuyers. They were
Major Dunn, Captain F. A. Taylor,
of the brunswick Rihemen, Adjutant
J. P. Twomey, OF the First regiment,
and Lieutenant F. H. Grady, or the
Rifiemen.
Mai. Dunn at once replied to the
telegram from the adjutant generel,in-
forming that the four officers had
announced that they We're ready TO
leave Major Dunn also asked the
adiutant general for more definite de.
tails. tmt no reply was received from
him during the afternoon.
1t was reported around the city
| during the day the the Brunswick
Riflemen had been ordered to pre-
pare to move on short notice, but
inquiry brought out the fact that
there was no truth in the report, the
telegram merely asking how many
commissioned officers desired to join
in the maneuvers. The telegram read
as if it was optional with them. It
is understood that a similar telegram
was yesterday sent 10 every COM
| missioned officer in the state, or
rather to the head OF all regiments.
A telegram was sent out from
Washington Thursday announcing
that officers OF the state troops would
| be invited to join in the maneuvers
| This telegram will lie of interest. now
that the Georgia officers have been
! requested to Join the regulars on the
Mexican border 1t is as follows:
The militia officers of all the
states of the union will be invited
to participate in the operations of the
army at San Antonio, Texas. This
announcement was made by the wal
department tonight and was coupled
with the statement that the invita-
ton will he extended with a view oi
| giving the officers of the national
guard practical field training in the
extensive maneuyers which officials
declare is the purpose of the mill
tary demonstration. There are about
5000 of these officers AS it is pure
ly an invitation, and it's acceptance
is optional with the men, it cannot
be foretold how many will avail them
selves of the opportunity to take par
in the present military activity"

 Washington, April 4.--An ultima tum to Mexico involving American in- tervention if peace is not restored ithin reasonable time, Is under serious consideration at the White House.
 The protection of American and for eign interests will be the ground up- on which this drastic step will be based
 As an alternative proposition, it has been suggested to the president that he send a commission to Mexico for tie purpose of placating the warning factions in restoring peace in the Re- public.
 The situation in Mexico does not improve, according to the advice5 re- ceived by the president, wherefore these dramatic moves are under con- s.deraticn.
 So tense Is the situation and so SC rious has 1t been ever since the movement of troops was decided up- on. that the president has convinced members of the Foreign Affairs Con- mittees of the House and Senate his action of mobolizing the trops was imperative. The conditions involv- ing property rights of the United ctates and foreign citizens were cri- tical.
 The intimation that secret alti- arce existed between Mexico and Jap- an, the president told the members o. Congress, had nothing whatever to do with sending troops to the bos- deI.

 Agricola was victorious in having the bill placed back on second read ing for the purpose of amendment, ard then followed a perfect flood of ct pnties wishing to be exemrte6. While these were being recorded Mr. Rradham movd to indefinitely post rcne the bill as the exemption of so many counties would ruin the act as general law. MT. Kerwin uTgsd the passage of the bill. while Repre- sentative Grant declared that his people would almost hang him if the bill was passed without exempting Jackson county In the midst of the debate that ragged fast and fDTi- GUS, with the rate of "Old Pied" hanging in the balance, MT. Hlrdage came to the rescue by moving that the bill be referred to the Judiciary G tmmittee, which prevailed.
