OTHER TROOPS ON DUTY.

First Indiana Guards Bridges Railroad Terminals. JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind., March 29—The government quartermaster's depot in 'Jeffersonville, the Kentucky and Indiana. Terminal railroad bridge between New Albany and Louisville and the Big Four arid Pennsylvania bridges which connect Jeffersonville with Louisville are under guard today the guard being formed by thirty-five men from the three. Indianapolis companies df the First Indiana infantry.

The guardsmen were shifted suddenly, yesterday afternoon fro-n th" storm-stricken portion of New Albany to the three points to be protected against possible attack by hostile organizations or disloyal persons. The presence of the troops at these points is a precaution against possible interference with "postal, commercial and military channels." ,•

The fact that these -points were to be guarded was kept &s a' secret until the trops were actually1 on duty. Voluntary censorship caused newspapers to withhold publication of the otders until the troops* had reached the

places assigned. None of the soldiers arriving in Jeffersonville -frould discuss the possible extent of their operations in the future.

The Princeton, Tell City, Vincennes and Seymour companies of the Second Indiana infantry were to be withdrawn today* from New. Albany, where th§y have been on duty since the tornado, and it was assumed that these organizations will replace the troops of the First infantry now guarding the bridges and government property.

The Indianapolis soldiers called to duty by the government today are under the command of Capt. Frank E. Livengood.
