[By Associated Pres*.]
Atlanta, July 19.—Atlanta, in gala
attire, today welcomed the first arrivals
of the at.endanie upon the Confedeiate
reunion. The city is decorated wth
bright colored bunting and flags and
decorations. The capitol, the executive
mansion, the Capital City Club, and the
principal hotels and buildings are es
pecially elaborate. Pictures of heroes
of the war with Spain mingle with
those cf the Confederacy's historic fig
ures.
Kvery train which reached Atlanta
today had extra ears attached and the
crowd which is expected tomorrow will
number 50,000.
Prominent among today's arrivals,
wero Gen. Stephen D. Lee. Miss Slgen
W. L. Cabell, Texas, and Gen. J. I.
Dickerson, of Florida, all department
commanders; Col. Robert A .Smyth, of
Charleston, commander in chief of the

Col. Bm-’th brought with him a large
sizvd boom for Charleston, and says
the next encampment will go there.
However, a party of distinguished Ken
tuefeians which is expected tonight will
probabiy do battle for their state, as
Louisville also wants the next big
gathering. There is a strong boom for
Stephen D. Lee for commander in chief.

The negro saw the officer at the same

; The policeman and several citizens
started in pursuit, and there was a
great hubbub ami yells of "stop thief."

Or. Friday last Castillo, brother of

to ascertain the cause of this, to the
Cubans, inexplicable resolution. “Why
is Santiago -to remain In the hands of
our enemies?” he asked. “The Span

Shatter. "We are fighting the soldiers

I’nlon Mission In fad ,lt has avoided j
the matter. The following card front I
the Mission la printed at tha earnest j
request of the Mission. It was formu-j
la led at a meeting of the organisation j
this morning. It la understood.
To the Augusta llertld. City:
The Chrlatlan Union MlMlon. rcal

part of tha work which God in
tended should be done, when we res
cued the low "one." determined to pul

those who had fallen, hut keep other*
Mom falling We knew that our city
code* went unheeded; we knew that
leaves it 1 presume it will be turned
over to you, but not until then.
Castillo, who came direct from Gar
cia's camp, did not attempt to conceal
his chagrin. The Cuban soldiers now
fully realize that there is a rising senti
ment against them in the army. They
hear nothing but words of scorn from
our men as they pass onward lugging
their bacon and hardtack Into the
woods. Kven our officers no longer
conceal their disgust for their
aliles und it is understood
the wiarnt friendship displayed toward
them at first is now turned into con
tempt, for the Cubans have neither
fought nor worked.
Tbe correspondent of the Associated
Presp who sends this dispatch saw n
group of Cubans refuse point blank to
aid in building roads, and during the
two day* of heavy fighting while they
were loitering in the road our surgeons
sought in vain to secure assistance
front them even to cut poles for im
provised litters for our wounded. Hun
dreds of such instances are being told
around the camp fires until the name
of the Cuban is usually wreathed with
camp profanity and very rarely is a
kind word spoken of them.
In fact, in some quartets, the-e is a
disposition to prophesy an early col
lision between our forces and the Cu
bans. Gen. Shatter yesterday sent an
invitation to Garcia to attend the cere
mony of raising the American (lag over
Santiago, but the Cuban general
showed resentment by sending a reply
which amply confirmed the course
■ which he and bis ragged ignorant sol
diers took during the week’s hard fight
ing. He declined the invitation, said
he hated tbe Spaniards and added that
be id not want to be where any of them
! were.

Don’t forget “Strife" tonight. It is a

SANTIAGO
IS QUIET.
Bad Boys frlv« the Soldiers Their
Only Trouble.
The Spaniards Are Not Worried Over
the Situation.
Santiago Harbor. July 18, via Kings
ton, July 19. —Santiago Is now a city of
sltznea. The American flag waves over
the military headquarters on Morro's
flagstaff and Bed Cross emblems are
as plentiful as church spires. Almost
the entire ropdlatioii are gathered
ahold the wharves where tbe Span
ish shipping. nqW friges of the United
Stales Is boon he augmented by the
large fleet of transports flying the
Anieticrn colors. Some stoces, most.y
for the sale of liquor or drugs, are
open, but the patrons are few.
Beggars arc in evidence and art of
the same importunate sort which
make Havana unpleasant for foreign
ers. Now aud then a man or woman
of the better class begs the corresyimd
i nls for "milk for my little one in tho
name of God.” At the dock where the
Red Cross steamer State of Texas ib
unloading and preparing for a long
stay o guard from the Ninth Infantry
lias been mounted, hut the soldiers
bad litle trouble except from the in
roads of bad boys, indigenous to sea
port cities. There is no evidence of
gloom on the faces of the Spanish mou
and women. These mercurial people
are already laughing and are pleased
at the military and naval show and
at the i respect of getiuig food other
than rice and salt meats. Nearly ail
tha- bi**ier class of houses are c-osed
Tbe residents evidently have not tv*,
turned from El Caney and other suiv
burban places to which they fled on
star of the bombardment.
