GORTES PROROGED. Sagasta Shift it of f Jifst in Time. CROWING .OBSTREPEROUS Many Bitter Made by J Members , Madrid, Sept. 15. — rhe pre mier, Senor Sagasta, has ob tained the queen regent’s signa ture to a decree proroguing the cortes, and with it ended the stormy session of the senate. Gen. Primo de Rivera de manded an i iquiry into tils ad ministration of the Pnilippine islands, and in so doing he said the attacks of Count Almenas were only “fit for the mouth of a miserable slanderer.” Count Almenas was endeavor ing to reply whem when Sendr Sagasta read the decree pro roguing the cortes. Count Almenas and General Rivera, separately, approached the president in a hostile man ner, and a duel is expected. Premier Sagasta afterwards read the decree in the chamber of deputies. [lt is expected that the Span ish peace commissioners will be appointed without delay. A painful impression has been caused here by a statement made by the Pais, sayihg the United States intends to de- : mand $10,000,000 indemnity in behalf of citizens who have suffered through the insur rection in Cuba. The Spanish peace commissioners will strong ly oppose this, it is claimed, but fears prevail that the United States will become pitiless and press its advantage to the ut most. The queen recent signed the protocol bill yesterday evening. The government had intended the cortes to sit until an indem nity bill for the suspension of the constitutional gua"antees had been passed, but the threat ened agitation on the part of Gen. Weyler and others, togeth er with evidence of divisions in both the liberal and conserva tive parties, convinced Senor Sagasta of the advisability of closing down debates which would have hindered the free progress of the peace negotia tions. The cortes will be next con voked to ratify the final treaty of peace. London, Sept. 15.—The Stan dard says editorially this morn ing. after congratulating Senor Sagasta and the government upon having survived a difficult period successfully, “that the great danger is now over. “Spain,” it continues, “ap pears reconciled, knowing that, whatever difference may arise in the peace negotiations, she is bound to yield. “As to reports that indemni ty will be demanded, the I nit ed States knows that no money can be got out of Spain, and therefore is unlikely to make such a demand seriously. 11 the United States secures Luzon it is most probable that Spain will give up the remainder of the is lands as a useless incumbrance.

DOWN IN DIXIE Army Gamps Will be Located This Winter. DESERTING MONTAUK. Two Batteries Ordered South- Others Will Follow. ' ' / ■ </ ■ Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 15. It is now believed that the general movement of troops from Montauk Point and other northern camps will begin in a few weeks. It is thought by army officials in Atlanta that the war department will direct that the array be placed in winter quar ters in the south, where the rigors of a northern winter will not have to be borne by the men. Already the search for camps throughout the south has Deen commenced and within a month the entire a ’my may be scatter ed in the different states. Capt. Dodds, judge advocate of the department of the gulf, was in the city yesterday, having been called from a leave of absence to join a party trf army officers seeking suitable locations in the south for the soldiers to camp.’ Capt. Dodds left for Hunts ville, Ala., yesterday afternoon x where he will join the party and the investigation for good loca ti.QL’s will begin. It is not known whether or not any camps will Le placed near Atlanta. Consid erable pressure has been brought to bear on the war department to have the troops stationed here, or at least a part of them. The camp at Montauk, which is now the largest in the coun try, has been so severely roasted by all the army officers and men as well as the visitors who have been there, that the administra tion has come to the conclusion to move it, and Gen. Miles has already ordered an evacuation. The expense of establishing and transporting the soldiers is very great and a well established camp for the army is earnestly desired by the administration. Already two batteries of heavy artillery have been ordered' south. These are batteries A and Bof the regular army. They will leave the Point at once and e icamp at Port Royal, S. C. It is expected that more troops will come south soon and may camp at the same place, as it is con sidered a good location. The soldiers who remain at Fort McPherson are now rapidly getting away and in a short time very few will remain. Those leaving are largely con valescents and as fast as they are able to travel are allowed to go to their homes. A number left yesterday. The force now at the post is very small compared to the number there a few weeks ago. The re cruits for the Fifth infantry, United States army, remain and these are all the soldiers not at tached to the hospital that are stationed as a garrison. Now that schools are opening throughout the country, it is suggested that examinations in Geography be deferred until the Peace Commission shall have reported.
