'lhe work of completely equip ping and arming the twenty seven regiments is an immense task for the short time in which it must be accomplished, but the work is already in progress, and the officials say it will be finished much sooner than is generally believed here. Everybody in the twenty sev en regiments from colonels to privates are bustling todry and considerable rivalry to be the first to get in shape is in evi dence. It is believed that all under | orders will be moving inside of I two weeks. The Western and I Atlantic and Southern railway I officials have received no order I from the war department to sup- I ply cars for the moving of troops I from Chicamauga park to Tam- Ipa or some other southern sea- I port.

A PLAN TO BOYCOTT IS Broken up by Railroads Strike Expected. Cleveland, 0., June 30.—The great Ohio coal trust, which was organized last fall, and which controls every pound of coal mined in Ohio, is on the verge of collapse. Every coal road in Olro is in the combine. Each agreed to act as selling agent for the mine operators, and turn over a per centage of money to the mine owners, and keep the remainder for freight charges. The rail ways agreed to keep West Vir ginia coal out of the lake mar net by keeping up prohibitive freight rates. Now it is alleged the Balti moie & Ohio, the Wheeling & Lake Erie and the Cleveland, Lorain & Wheeling Railway are secretly carrying West Virginia coal to the lakes at low rates. This, it is said, will result in a disruption ol the trust. STRIKE MAY FOLLOW. A prominent Ohio coal opera tor said today : “If the Ohio trust is broken I anticipate the greatest strike of miners in the history of the business. West Virginia operators were not a party to the Chicago agreement as to wages and the lake mar kets will be flooded with coal from that state. To protect themselves Ohio and Pennsylva nia producers will be obliged to break the wage agreement, and a strike will follow. CAMARA BEGS FOR COAL. But Egypt is Fip.m And Declines To Yield a Point. New York, June 30-A special to The Tribune from Port Said, says: Admiral Camara, instead of the 10,000 tons of coal for which he ■isked on Sunday now demands 3,500 tons, as he insisted upon bemg allowed to take thi smaller quantity after firm but courteous refusals, the goveinor of Port Said at last formally noth tied the admiral that under the circumstances any coaling what ever of the Spanish fleet in JFgyp ian waters would be forcibly 'pre vented. The Buenos Ayres, the Colon, the Isla de Paor»y and the Cor adanga have been removed into out of the way berths, thereby in dicating a long stay here On the arrival of the transport ‘lsla de Luzon the troops Dow - , ou board the Buenos Ayres will be transfer red to the Isla de Luzon so as to enable the Buenos Ayres to act as a cruiser or commerce destroyer.

ONE BIRD RELEASED Strange Message Carriers Found at Key West. Key West. Fla., June 30—Dur ing 'he past week a dozan strange carrier pigeopa have been found in the Government dovo-cofe in this city. All are marked in the same manner. For instance, the last four ciptured are marked: “A 5, 588.” “A 5. 573,” “A 29. 626,” “A 17, 428.” It is believed h re that these pigeons constitute a <-ignal code, and, as all the pigeons are from the same cote, and sent out by the same parties, that they were set free by Spanish spies with the hope that they would reach Cuba. If this be true, the pigeons have been away from Cuba too long, or else they simply stopped here to rest and were captured by the Gov ernment officials, ONE BIRD RELEASED. A pigeon with a similar mark went on board the schooner Puge, about 40 miles north ot this city yesterday Captain Prior examined the bird, found the message, and, concluding that it was a govern ment message, set it free again. Although the pigeon fl.-w south when released it has not been heard of here yet, and it is pre sumed the bird kept on its journey to Cuba, probably carrying im portant news of the movemen’s of our army and navy t 1 General Blanco.
