State of Georgia Get Seven Camps, South'
- , Carolina Three While Other States
Will Not Be Overlooked. 1
A .Washington special of Monday
says: The war department has decided
to 6end more troops to Porto Rico.
Orders have been issued directing
that theJFifth regular cavalry" now at
Huntsville, Ala. , the ' United States
volunteer infantry, now at Chicka-
manga, and the Forty-seventh New
York, now at Fort Adams, shall pro
ceed to such point in Porto Rico as
may be desired by the . commanding
general in that island. ;
The Eighth United States volunteer
infantry and two companies of the In
diana colored volunteers now at Fort
Thomas, Ky. , will relieve the Sixth
volunteer infantry at Chickamauga.
All the troops at Camp Meade will
soon be ordered to points in the south.
Some of them may go to Cuba, but
the majority will for the present occupy
the new camps recently selected in
Georgia and South Carolina. , - .
Southern Army' Camps.
The department has accepted army
camps at.the following places in Geor
gia : A tl an ta, Augusta, Athens, Albany,
Americus, Columbus and Macon.
Camps will be established in South
Carolina at the following places: Co
lumbia, .Greenville.jSpartanburg.
The ' fev:ed order for southern
camps in scich Atlanta, Albany and
Colunv -3a., was included, was
issued; et;9 o'clock Saturday night. .
It iifiought that troops sent to gar-
risoauniy in tjuoa will not remain
loTg,' but when they have seen service
for a few months will return to this
Country. The same is probably true
as to Porto Rico; It is also intimated
that when the troops return the volun
teers will be given sixty days' furlough
and" be mustered out. " By that time
congress will have -an opportunity to
determine what' shall be done in ifa
gxid to garrisoning the new posses
sions. This determination is no doubt due
to the pressure' that has been brought
by members of-congress for the mus
tering out of the volunteers from their
states and districts. .
The responsibility for' furnishing
the troops for garrison duty and for
army duty, generally will be upon con
gress. The recommendations of the
president and the war depaf tment will
have been made before the return of
the troops from either Cuba or Porto
Rico and the necessities of the case
made known. - '
CHAPLAIN MINTYRES PLEA.
Preacher Declares That He Was Irrespon
sible at Time of Ills Lecture. -
At Monday's session of the court
martial trial at Denver of Rev. Joseph
Mclntyre, of the battleship Oregon,
for-sensational charges against brother
officers of the nayy in a lecture deliv
ered, in Denver on August 8th, the
chaplain went on the stand in his own
defense.. "
His testimony is intended to estab
lish a plea of irresponsibility for his
utterances or. the occasion.
In a straightforward, simple, yet
graphic manner, he told the story of
the Oregon's wonderful trip from Sail
Francisco around Cape Horn ; of the
terrible heat and cold passed through;
of the nervous strain which the con
stant dread of meeting the enemy
caused; of the excitement - of the
blockade and the great battle of July
3d, followed by a nervous collapse on
the part of the narrator.
He told how, after he reached Den
ver in his weakened condition, he re
peatedly refused to lecture, only con
senting finally because his effort
might be of benefit in a financial way
to the Young Men's Christian associa
tion, himself declining to receive a
cent of the proceeds. He told how,
with racked brain, he stood before
his audience and then of his horror
next morning when he read the pub
lished report of what he had said. He
made no denials of the reports, saying
that he could not remember his words.
He only knew what he intended to say.

Americans have made a demand of
such character that the Spaniards

SOUTHERN PEACZ JUBILEE.
Uovement Started to riold Celebration
fa Atlanta, Ga.
Atlanta, Ga., and 'the south, is to
have a Peace Jubilee. The celebra
tion of the cessation of hostilities and
of the glorious victory of. the United
States in its -, recent encounter with
Spain has led to a period of rejoicing
throughout the country which has
crystalized in celebrations that have
been held in New York and Washing
ton and are to be held" in Philadelphia,
Chicago and Boston. .
The fact that the southern states
contributed as much as any other sec
tion of the country to the magnificent
verdict of the war has led to a con
siderable 'discussion as to what, the
south ought , to do in commemoration
of the war's results j and Atlanta has
led off-with an invitation for every
other city of the south to join her in a
jubilation of peace.. - v -
At an informal conference' of promi
nent citizens held. Monday it was de
cided to inaugurate at once a move
meat to this end. Mayor Collier was
asked to appoint a preliminary com
mittee of arrangements, whose duty it
will be to map out roughly the scope
of the celebration, and then sub-committees
will be f selected to work out
the details. . The mayor entered heart
ily into 'the spirit of the suggestion,
and promised to give it his immediate
and - careful consideration. The fact
that Atlanta is the only, big city in the
south' to take up the matter was . in
itself an inspiration which enthused
all those present at the. brief conference.;-
;. a: : i ' r -' f:.:
If is expected that a date can be
fixed at which the troops to be located
in Atlanta will be able to take part in
the ceremony.: General Fitshugh Lee,
-who is to be 'one of the - guests of
honor, will leave for. Cuba on Novem
ber 5th, and, consequently, the date
selected will be ', an earlier one on
which his attendance can be secured.

PROHIBITION TOTE REDUCED.
Great Dissatisfaction In Quebec Over Be

Advices from Quebec state that there
is great dissatisfaction in that city
over the result of the prohibition elec
tion held throughout the provinces of
Canada last week.. - - . ' -
'- Although prohibition carried , by
about 10,000 majority, there was a
great falling 6ff iin the .prohibition

when the anti-liquor people carried
the election by nearly 100,000 "ma
jority. - ',:'y: . ' -.
In Quebec public sentiment ; is op-
posed to prombition, and that prov
ince voted against it, and there will be
little change in the : liquor regulations
of the city.. There was great interest
manifested in the outcome of the elec
tion and the returns hav& been closely
studied by the Canadian people.
. There will be great difficulty in en
forcing the prohibition regulations by
reason of the scarcity of funds for the
purpose. ; . ;' .
RICE CROPS DAMAGED.
Growers In South Carolina Lose Heavily
i Throuah the Storms. .
A Charleston special says: Sunday's
hurricane and the storm of 'two weeks
ago caused heavy losses to rice grow
ers. Even the damage done -by the
great storm of 1893 has been exceeded.
It is variously estimated by the planters
and rice brokers that the loss will be
from 30 to 50 per cent. : The damage"
is entirely due to the excessive high
tides: and easterly, winds that have
prevailed along the coast as a result of
the two stomas. -
' The tides have kept the water in the
fields for a week and the drains refuse
to draw. -. The easterly wind serves to
keep the water backed - up in the
streams.' Breaks in the banks have
occurred on the' Pon Pou, Ashepoo
and Combahee rivers 1 and : these sec
tions have suffered most severely In
some cases the entire crops in those
sections are lost. "

That No One Is Eligible
to Bear
" ?: Miss Davis Title. "
General John B. Gordon, command
er-in-chief of the United Confederate
Veteran s was shown the Associated
Press 'dispatch from Chicago in which
Miss Lucy Lee Hill claims to hare had
the title of "Daughter of the Confed
eracy" conferred upon her by her
southern friends since the death of
Winnie Davis. The general was asked
if the title could be thus transferred,
and replied with great earnestness:.
"Emphatically, no. Miss Winnie
was tne only daughter of iresident
Davis born in the confederate 'white
house' during the life of the confeder
acy. As Jefferson Davis was the only
president of the confederate govern
ment, no daughter; of any official
could truly represent the confederacy.
For that reason itwould. not-be ap
propriate to call even the daughter of
Robert E. Lee the Daughter of the
Confederacy. ' - To designate any one
else as 'Daughter of the Confederacy I
would not only be inappropriate and
meaningless, but would deprive the
title of all its value."-.
