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.

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. FldhT WITH A RATTLER. A Boy Killed By One of the Reptiles in Georgia.

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, "r- —— ——■ — M.i and Mrs. E.

Lisbon, July 15—The government is anxious regarding the Internal situa tion in Spain.

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.
