It Is not yet certain whether any regiments
besides those mcotloncd will come here , 'aa
It Is UMderstocd It Is not the Intention to
recall the In.'antry who have already reached
their southern rendezvous or have so nearly
reached there that turning them back would
entail an extra \oia \ ot time. Jlut all troops
that have not proceeded that far oa their
Journey will bo brought here.

iNo reasons for this sudden change ol

Krounds ot such large bodies of troops , as it
was at 'first contemplated sending , are Inad

The work .of forming an army
at Chtckw.auga began In earnest
today. All nlqtit long a large force
of laborers hero kept building extva
eldo tracks and chutes for the unload
ing of the cavalry horses , wagons and artil
lery. The flrst regiment to reach the
grounds today was the Sixth cavalry , which
arrived last tlljht from Fort Myer. They
went IrRo camp near Mullen's Springs and
were followed soon after by light battery E ,
First artillery , seventy-five men. In com
mand of Captain Capron. Not a moment
was lost In unloading the guns and caisson"
Everything moved with the regularity of a
machine and as fast as the trains were un
loaded they made way for nfiw arrlva's.
Mrjor General Brooke Hald his first visit
to the Chlckamauga grounds today , accom
panied by Adjutant General Boynton and his
staff officers. Captain Ulchards and First
Lieutenant .Dean , oil In full uniform , and
drove through the beautiful -park. He stayed
there most of the day directing the move
ments of the men and selecting the camping
grounds of the different regiments as they
reached She park.
Two trains with companies A , D , H , I , of
the Fifth artillery arrived during the day
over the Southern railway from Fort Harall-
tcn , N. Y. No tlmo was lost In Chattanooga.
Both trains were switched onto the Chlcka
mauga tracks and carried Immediately to the
, park. Batteries B. I ) , F and G of the Second
j'artillery from Fort Adams , Newport , R. I , ,
| are expected In Chattanooga late tonight.
Than troops will also bo brought to the park
to unload , the arrangements there being now
no coinjUelB that It IB not necessary to un
load In tbo Chattanooga yards.
Although a plan for tbe placing of the
troops has uot yet been determined on so
far ns the cavalry Is concerned , It was de
cided by General Brooke today that all the
companies of artillery which will be placed
at Chlckamauga , ten In number , will be loca-
aed at the north end of the park near Bnod-
gross Hill. Around this location some of
the most desperate fighting ot the Chlcka-
mauga .calflprflgb tii September , 1863 , took
place. This rwas. the location of General
Thomas * division. " Battery I' of the First artil
lery , from Tort Monroe , } 50 men and six field
pieces , commanded by Captain Taylor , which
arrived last night , was sent to the park dur.
Ing the day and was located near tbe north
end of ( ho park close to the Fifth artillery.
.Tho First , artillery , is one of tbe oldest In
the service. ' It was first organized la 1770.
" By night nesTrly 1,500 ot the C.OOO cavalry
and artillerymen who have been ordered to
Chlckamauga were encamped on that bat

Michael Davltt , Irish nationalist , asked
whether the government would consider the
advisability ot notifying the British colonies
and British merchants that coal roust btt
considered contraband of war during the
continuance of tbo hostilities between Spain
and the United States. Mr. Balfour replied :
"Her majesty's government cannot la ]

There was considerable conste'matlon In
Jocal array and railroad circles last evening
over the receipt of orders from Washington
to change the routing of all wrotorn troops
that could bo notlRcd In time from Mobi'.o
to Chlckatmuga. The reason for the chance
was not given , and there was much specu
lation among army officers as to the cause
for the sudden change.
Telegrams were at once sent from the
headquarters of the Department of the Mlii-
nourl to the officers of the Louisville & Nah.
vlllo railroad at Nashville requesting them
to at once change the- route of the Twelfth
Infantry now on that line to ChtcKamauga ,
Instead of to Mobile. The Twelfth Infantry
U from Fort Nlobrara , Neb. , and left there
on Tuesday for Mobile. There route wll > bo
changed at Nashville. ( These troops are car
ried on sevtn special trains of the North
western sjatem.
The first dl- > patch to the department head
quarters ordered all troops of the depart
ment then to route to be nrncd back from
Mobile to Chlckaicauga , but later another
dispatch was received modifying this order
so that all troops en route that could
be diverted from Mobile to Chlckamauga
without being turned back should bo at
once notified to proceed to Chlckamauga.
The Twelfth Infantry was the only regiment
of this department that could bo caught In
tlmo to make the change ordered by the
later dispatch , all the other troops either
having reached MobH or being so far south
that they would have to bo turned back to
reach Chlckamauga.
It \ > i not known whether the Department
of the Colorado received similar Instruc
tions , but It Is thought likely , that It did.
Irt that event the troops from Fort D. A.
Russell from Cheyenne , Wyo. , can be di
verted at St. Louts to Chlckamauga from
Mobile. It Is understood that the troops
lhat'havo been ordered to Now Orlchaa will
not have their routing changed.
It wa announced at army headquarters
last night that a troop from the Seventh
cavalry had been ordered from Arizona to
Fort SHI. 1. T. One troop of the regiment ,
now nt Fort Sill , will remain until the ar
rival' ' of the troop from the Ssvcsith. Or-
deru have also been Issued for a troop of
cavalry from the Eighth oivalry to proceed
at once from Fort Mead , S. D. , to Fort Sill
to relieve the troop of the Seventh cavalry
there and to remain tlicre until further
orders. The troop from the Seventh will
then return to Arizona.
The decision to maintain a troop of cavalry
at Fort Sill. I. T. , has been reached because
of the great number of Indians Vi th.it vicin
ity that experienced army ofllcers believe
will bear watching. Up to date there have
been no hostllo demonstrations , but the sol
diers will bo kept on the guard la the ter
ritory , ready for any outbreak that may
occur
