ARMED MEI
Grim Visaged War Portendec
by the Coming of the
Light Artillery.
TO DEFEND SfflJNhlH
Against the Attacks of the Spanish
—The Delayed Train Came in atf
Eight O’clock This Morning.
AW was excitement ar«und the Union
defipt. »hi« morning when the first real
Unfted States soldiers that have appeared
In Macon in some years passed through
go tag to man the forts at Savannah.
Battery “F.” of United States artillery
arrived io Macon at 8 o’clock from Colum
bus. They left Columbus at 4:30 this
m*rta«g in charge of Trainmaster Craven
of taia Southwestern.
There w< re twelve ears in all in the
s peon I train. One Pullman sleeping car.
two taurkt's skepers for the privates, two
palaoo horse cars, and five oars of guns
ao«i a*[>pNfs.
The coaches with the privates and of
ficers were hawked Into the depot, and
soma large crowd had gathered to see
them. Lieutenant Warren P. Newcomb
was in comma® 1. Captain Reilly being
dritatoi d at the garrison at Fort Riley.
Thu officers went over to'the Brown House
for breakfast, while the men scattered all
ovar *he streets, some ihuntiag for mail
teota-s to post letters to their families and
«w-hearts at home, and more of them
hunting for saloons, for a United Stales
soldier is not averse to indulging in a lit
tle whisky and water.
The red stripe of the artillery has been
verg seldom seen in Macon, and the sol
diers were marks of curioas gazes as they
weal down th-e streets.
There were in all fifty-five men and
fifty-five horses, wilh eight rapid fire gur-s
of Mnail calibre and a number of gabtling
guiw and small arms. The soldiers were a
stiirdy looking set, the majority of them
belag young men, apparently about 21 years
of age.
Lieutenant Newcomb said that the mon
had »tood the trip all right, and seemed
perfectly satisfied at coming to th-e coast.
A large crowd assembled at the depot
last night to see the train as it passed
through, but tt>ey were dis-appointed when
they learned that there had been soma de
lay, and that the troops would not reach
Mawn until this morning.
Veterans of the late war turned out in
laiwr numbers this morning to see the
men who were expected t 6 do the fighting
these days and there were many remarks
On their appoaranee. One old fellow said:
"Yes, I see they are traveling in sleeping
ears now, but just wait till they can lie
down on a fiat oar running over a rough
ro-ad and go sleep and then -they will
know’ what war is.”
A large crowd went out into the yards
to see the -horses and perhaps get a glimpse
of She guns and ammunition, but these
were guarded and no one was -allowed to
see -Wie inside of the ammunition’s cars,
though the horses could be seen.
It has not been decided where -the
troops will be sta-tioned in Savannah, but
Lieutenant. J. F. Washburn, of the United
States commissary department, is in Sa
vannah looking out for the arrangements
for the coming of the soldiers.
The party stayed in 'Macon until 9:30
when they left for the city by the sea.

Michael, the Wheelman, is Infatuated With
Racing.
New York. March 19 —Because of his in
fatuation for horses Jimmy Michael has
lost his position with a Chicago cycle firm
for whom he rede last season. The firm
told Michael that he would have to give
up his determination to be a jockey before
he would be contracted for again. He re
fused. Michael’s manager says he has
already lost SIO,OOO on horses, and is lia
ble to ruin the muscles which he used to
speed his wheel. Michael spends nearly all
his time at the Gravesend Race Track ex
ercising horses.

AS OFFICERS
Military Cadets Could Serve in Army and
Would be Honored.
Washington, D. C., March 19—A good
many Ohio boys may soon have a chance
to do what McKinley did at 18 and For
aker at 16, viz: "quit school and take to
the field.” In the colleges of the country
there are a large number of cadet com
panies, with a membership estimated alto
gether at about 10,000.
The cadets are semimilitary and have
had occasional training under regular
ramy officers specially deputized for this
work. It is learned from an officer on the
adjutant general’s staffhere that the ca
dets are not under the authority of the
United States army in any way, but would
be specially valuable and specially honor
•er if they should volunteer.
Because of their military knowledge they
would be given the positions of captains,
lieutenants, etc. No doubt the more mil
itary-like schools, as that of Belmont Col
lege, would furnish officers of high rank.
It is calculated* that Ohio could muster
a full regiment from her cadets at all the
colleges. They would be under the com
mand of Governor Bushnell until trans
ferred to the command of Major General
Miles.

LINCOLN’SIWaRXHEUORD,
Oisclosed by the Finding of an Old Cccu
ment.
Washington, March 19 —A valuable Lin
coln document has Just been unearthed in
the pension office by Colonel Dalton, chief
of the old war and navy division. It is a
bounty claim made by the martyred presi
dent in 1855, in which he makes applica
tion for 160 acres, under the law allowing
such allotment to all soldiers who served
fifteen days or longer previous to the civil
struggle. Captain Lincoln, as be was
thfn, received the land asked for.
The document, which was sworn to by
Lincoln, declare*, that he served forty days
in 1832. as captain of a company in the
regiment of Illinois Maunwd Volunteers,
commanded by by Colonel S. W. Thomp
son, in the war with the Sacs and other
tribes of Indians on the Northwestern
frontier, known as -the "Black Hawk
War?
MOBILIZED.
Eighteen Thousand Troops on the Historic
Battlefield of Chickamauga.
Chattanosga, Tenn., March 19—It is
thought here that within a few days 18,000
regular troops will occupy tents in Chick
amauga field, where, a generation ago,
110,0*0 Americans engaged in one of the
most sanguinary conflicts in the annals
of war. This park is government reser
vation, and the only one in the department
of -the Gulf that is sufficiently large to ac
commodate a great number of troops. It
is in the hands of the war department. The
chief engineer of the park is in receipt
of inquiries that lead to the above conclu
sion.
In speaking of the matter, he said: "It
has been announced that the government
inlende to mobilize the regulars in the de
partment of the Gulf. This is the only
place in the department that can be used
without encroaching upon private prop
erty.
SPOOK DAUBS.
She Says She Saw Great Painters Produce
Them.
New York, March 19—The famous Dis
De Bar-Marsh case has been revived.
Four highly colored and ridiculously
ornate spook pictures were conspicuous in
the supreme cSurt, where the commission
ers and a sheriff s jury were assembled to
inquire into the sanity of Mrs. Harriet
filiza Beach-Rogers. The largest of the
pictures was mounted on an easel; the
othexs were placed on chairs in the center
of the court room. Daubs though they
were, Mrs. Beach-Roge«s thinks they were
created by the mysterious agency »f high
er powers. She claimed she had seen
them made; hadwatched them grow under
the hands of Michael Angelo, Titian and
Rembrandt. The picture of an Arab chief,
with long, tapering beard, represents
Amarona.
According to Dr. Satterlee, Mrs. Rogers
said she held long conversations with
Amarcna, even though be was only a pic
ture. He was her guide, and ehe followed
his instructions implicitly.
Rev. E. Edwards, pasltor of the English
Baptist church at Minersville, Pa., when
suffering with rheumatism, was advised to
try Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. He says:
"A few applications of this linament
proved of great service to me. It sub
dued the inflammation and relieved the
pain. Should any sufferer profit by giving
Pain Balm a trial it wil please me.” For

MUSCOVITES
In This Country Will Enlist Promptly—Calls
on Mayor of New York.
New York, March 19 —A tall Muscovite
named Henry Rahn called upon Mayor
Van Wyck at the head of a delegation of
five Russians who desire to serve in ithe
forces of the United States in case of war.
They promised to bring their citizenship
papers if needed. When the mayor learn
ed the object of their visit he said:
"The fact of your coming here and offer
ing yourselves for service shows that you
have no need of citizenship papers, and
that your hearts are in the right place.
I hope there will not be any war, and I
think there will not be any; but if there is
you will not be lonesome in 'the field. The
whole American nation will be with you.
I am deeply gratified that foreign-born
citizens should show so much interest in
their adopted country.”

WILL GO TO THE FRONT.
General Longstreet Willing to Go to Battle
Again.
Bainbridge. Ga., March 19 —General
Longstreet announces his readiness to go
into active service again.
Col. D. A. Russell is a pronounced Dem
ocratic leader in this section, but has al
ways been an enthusiastic admirer of his
old corps commander. General Longstreet,
whom he followed for over four years.
Colonel Russell wrote General Longstreet
a letter, wherein he paid a very high com
pliment to the general’s soldierly ability
and military genius and urging that the
general indicate a willingness to enlist in
the army, and if he did so, the old vete
rans and sons of veterans would rally to
his standard by the thousands and embark
on transports for Cuba or aid in the de
fense of the sea coast, and in the letter
Colonel Russell also said while there had
been some political differences between
the general and his old followers, they
would disappear instantly in following the
old general’s leadership, as they idolized
him as much now as they did from 1861
to 1865, and in the letter Colonel Russell
in speaking of the ex-Gonfederate soldier,
used the expression: "If Longstreet will
lead, we will follow."
"Department of Interior, Office of the
Commissioner of Railroads, Washington.
D. C„ March 2, 1898—Hon. D. A. Russell,
Bainbridge, Ga. —My Dear Sir: Yours of
the 17th instant received, and it was as
pleasing and interesting for me to read
such a friendly letter from one of my
brave old comrades as it was for you to
write it. If the time should ever come
when the government shoud call for our
friends 10 enlist, yon may rely upon it I
will go with you again and do my best
with you. My services and sword are at
my country’s call, and I am as ready to
respond at my present age as I was as a
young lieutenant in 1864, as I feel the
martial ardor of my youth and the blood
flow faster and the pulse beat quicker at
the 'thought of the canonn’s roar and the
muskets’ ‘zip,’ ‘ping.’ But I have refrained
from writing you more promptly because
of the apprehension my modest contribu
tion might add to the excitement preva
lent among the people, and my purpose is
to help and strengthen the president rath
er than fan the fierce feeling and hot pas
sion which disturb, cool, calm action -and
conservative judgment. The president can
be fully trusted to pursue a patriotic pol
icy and reach a wise conclusion, satisfac
tory .to our countrymen. But rest assured
that should the president make the call it
will be my greatest pride that our old
army comrades have expressed the desire.
‘lf Longstreet will lead, we will follow.’
After thirty years of tranquility and some
political differences these words of soldier
ly regard, friendship and confidence from
my soldiers speak more than volumes
•®uld tell of the noble, fraternal and pa
triotic sentiments animating the hearts of
my dear old comrades. I remain very
truly yours, James Longstreet.”
