Extraordinary Fighting Dowd at San
tiago.
St. Louis, Mo., July 15.—Major Gen
eral S. B* M. Young and Captain Geo.
G. Hunter, of the Third cavalry, arri
ved at Jefferson barracks direct from'
Santiago, the former on sick leave and
the latter wounded, a Mauser bullet
having lodged in bis right thigh In the
battle of July 1 before Santiago. Capt.
Hunter gives the following account of
tne fight:
“The lighting of Friday, July I, be
fore Santiago, was the hardest that
American troops have ever gone
through. Let me tell you why. Here
tofore our enemies have been armed
with single shot arms, requiring a
comparatively long time to lend and
Are "lhe modern magazine rifle can
be fired twelve times in the some time
tbit the old arm could be fired once.
"That is one reason. Here Is an
other: We were expected to take an
intrenched position, protected by ar
tillery end block houses, which had
been subjected to no fire by our artil
lery and were absolutely fresh and un
hurt. We wer.? supported by no artil
lery. It was simply a case of get out
In the open and charge up to them in
the face of a plunging fire from maga
zine arms and artillery. Such a thing
is not in the military book and nev«?r
was done before.
“The San Juan fight, In which we
were, was the fight of the day. Our po
sition was on a hill opposite a higher
and steeper hill upon which th.e Span
iards were intrenched. A deep valley
Icy between. Between us and
Hire was not a scrap of cover, only
high grass.
“When the time came to take their
position we went down our bill end up
their as fast as we could run in the
fare of an awful fire. I was wounded
Juet as I gained the top of »he Spanish
ini.”
Capt. Hunter pays the highest trib
ute to all the American troops.

SPENCE A MAJOR.
A Statement In Atlanta About His
Status.
Atlanta, Ga., July 15.—1 t under
stood that Lieut. R. E. L. Spence of
the regular service, who arrived here
among the wounded from Santiago,will,
■after all, t>e one of the majors of the
third Georgia regiment.
Since the action of the war depart
ment prohibiting more than two ma
jors to the regiment it was thought
that Lieut. Spence's appointment by
Gov. Atkinson would be Ineffective, it
appears, however, that the appointment
wilt take precedence over that of Moj.
Teague of Augusta, who wns named
to fill the vacancy caused by the refus
al of Maj. Shewmake. MaJ. Shewmake
was oppointed before Major Spence, but
Major Teague w«s not, and hence it is
understood at the adjutant general's of
fice that the latter will be dropped, be
ing the junior.
Lieut. Spence's wounds tn the leg
and hand are not very serious, and he
sr.-ill prohobly he able to go on duty by
the time Gov. Atkinson returns and his
commission in the volunteer'service is
made out.

TURPENTINE ROW.
Drunken Negroes Run Things In Their
Own Way.
Biackshear, Ga., uly 15.—The hands
|of Cason & Walker, turpentine opera
-1 tors at Walkersvllle, In this county,
al-cut eight miles from Biackshear, be
came Involved in a general row lost
Saturday, us a result of moonshine 11-'
quor.
The negroes were all armed with
| Winchesters and pistols and for a
j while ran things pretty much their own
way.
j On Monday‘J. 1,. Cason, one of the
| proprietors, sWore out warrants for sev
eral of the negroes, who had in the
I meantime fled.
J Two of them, Ashley Johnson and
| Jean Wright, were last night located In
| town, and a posse from th» still, head
ed by City MarVhc.n w. L. MeMlilan,
made an effort so arrest them.
| jV>hnSnn succeeded in getting sway,
jbut he probably carries With him a
j souvenir of his escape In the shape rtf
| a scalp wound. As he ran one of the
party fired at him, and the hat he left
behind bears testimony to the accu
racy of the aim.
Wright was again spotted later, and
fit the posse were surrounding him, Mr.
Cason discovered that the negro had a
Winchester in his hand and was in the
act of shooting. Mr. Cason quickly
grappled with the negro, pinioning his
arms to his side.
Had Mr. Cason been a second later
bis life would hove probably been the
'forfeit, for the rifle was discharged just
'as he grappled with the negro, fortun
ately doing no harm.
i Wright was quickly overpowered and
disarmed and now languishes In Jail,
awaiting trial.
The moonshine liquor which is the
cause of all the trouble Is made some
where in the vicinity of the turpentine
still, and is brought In and Sold to the
negroes on the quiet. ! •
Caaon & Walker will make every ef
fort to put bs end to the traffic, as
they have already given a great deal
of trouble by it,

a most hopeful aign. It ia construed to

course of other interviews, he gave
voice to the «#me sentiment, not ex
pressing entire belief, but strong hope,
that peace would come soon.

Uprising In Spain Means One In That

Lisbon, July 15—The government is
anxious regarding the Internal situa

spread. TbP Government has recalled
the military officers who are on fur
lough, preparatory to placing troops
on the frontier. The summoning of the
reserves Is contemplated.

NO FURTHER NEWS.
Washington Does Not Know of the
Details of Ihe Surrender.
Washington, July 15. —The cabinet
adjourned without knowledge of the
terms of surrender at Santiago made
by the commislsoners referred to by
Sbafter in his dispatch yesterday.
Nothing further lias been received
from the general on this subject and
the assumption is that the commission
ers are still at work. The details are
likely to h? more complex than is gen
erally supposed, for aside from matters
of actual moment, such as methods of
transportation, the carriage of arms by
troops and transportation of the sur
rendered Spanish officers, these are
many smaller matters to he attended
to, some of them growing out of fan
tastic Spanish notions of honor, which
arc quite troublesome to deal with as
matters of vital importance.
The yellow fever is an additional
caw?.’ of apprehension. The war de
partment does not deem It prudent just
now to make a detailed statement
about the camp. General Corbin sta
ted that he coulrl say, as far as the fe
ver was concerned, the conditions at
the last report were certainly better
than two days ago. sf
SAN JUAN SCARED.
It Is Said That the City Is Practically
Deserted.
St. Thomas, July 15.—Advices re
ceived from San Juan show that the In
habitants of that place are greatly
alarmed. They expect the port to be
attacked by the Americans. The terri
