Feb. 23.-Tho War de partment today Issued orders for the entire Third regiment of Infantry to proceed to the Isthmus of Panama. The regiment will leavo at the earliest possible time on tho transports Sumner and McClelland from New York. The regiment la going to Pan ama to relieve the marines stationed there. The headquarters of tho regiment are at Fort Thomas, Ky., Where are stationed Companies V, D, I, K. L and M. At Fort Sheridan, Chicago, are stationed Companies A and B, and at Columbus barracks Com banlos K, F, Q arid II. The reglmeht wilt bo commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Woodbury, the present colonel. Haskell, being about to retire with an advanced rank. Lieutenant Colonel Woodbury Is now of the Thirteenth Infantry. The War depart ment has In the past strenuously denied reports that It Intended to send troops to tho isthmus, but it Is now explained that statement only applied to conditions as they existed before the United States ac quired vested rights through the acquisition of the canal sone by the ratification of the canal treaty. As the department has now satisfied It self that this ratification is only a ques tion of a few hours It has taken the neces sary steps to permanently garrison the lethmus, which could not be easily done with marines. Women and Children Must Stay. Tho department announces that none of the families of the officers or enlisted men for tho Third Infantry would be allowed to accompany the regiment. In the future when permanent barracks and officers' quarters are constructed on modern plans this restriction may bo removed. Tho 1,000 marines now on the Isthmus will bo taken to Ouantanamo as rapidly as their places can be filled by tho troops. From Ouantanamo at least a part of this force will bo taken to tho Philippines, prob ably coming to tho Vnlted States and em barking from San Francisco for Manila. Orders for 600 marines to sail from that point at an early date were issued a short time ago and it is likely that an additional force will go out later In pursuance of the Navy department's policy of upbuilding In every way possible the Asiatic station and strengthening the marine force at Olong apo. It Is intended that an adequate force of marines shall be kept at Ouantanamo in case of probable emergencies In Central and South America. Especially Is it de sired that thero shall be a sufficient force there for the government to call upon if it ahould undertake to execute a drastlo program in San Domingo.
