A Detachment Has Gone--Stirring
Scenes on the Occasion of the
Landing of the Army.
B.iiquiii. Cuba, via Kingston, June 23 —•
At 5 o’clock this afternoon 6,000 trained
soldiers ate cm imped in the hills and
around Baiquiri and 10,000 more rest on
ami' on board the transports off shore,
ready to join tho e who debarked, as soon
as available launches and boats can carry
them ashore.
Time, sea and weather are propitious fbr
the' army of invasion. The navy and army |
co-operated splendidly, ami as the big war I
ships closed in on the 1 shore to pave the
way for the approach of the transports and
then went back a: ain, three cheers for tho
navy went up from 10,000 throats on the
troopships and three cheers for the army
rose from the 1 ship after hip as tho troop
ships moved in to take a share 1 in tho
hazardous game.
It was war, and magnificent was tho
Cuban insurgents who bore' a share in the
enterprise honorably ami we 11. Five thou
sand of them in the mountain fastnesses
and dark thiektes of the ravines lay_ all
night on their guns watching every toad
aild mountain path leading from Santiago
to Guantanamo.
At 1 o'clock in the' morning it was seen
that the troopships. that have been lying
several miles in the oiling, had drawn in
towards the shore, while three’ or four
warships lay menacingly mar the harbor.
As the dispatch boat of the Associated
Pres- ran closer in near the? iNew Orleans
Presfs ran closer in near whetvN.’W'-
Orleans was lying with her great arm
strong guns trained on ißaiquiri tongues
of lurid flame and black smoke were seen
rising from the 1 town the inevitable conse
quence of war and a sure sign that the
Spaniards had gone, leaving ruins behind
them.
There is a steep rocky hill known as
Punta Baiquiri rising almost perpendicu
larly at tlie place indicated. It is a veri
table Gibraltar in possibilities of defense.
From the staff at the summit the Span
ish flag was defiantly floating at sunset
last night, but it was gone this morning
and will) it the .Spanish guard which had
maintained the signal station.
Between nightfall and dawn the Span
iards had taken the alarm and lied from
the place, tiring the town as they left.
Tho flames were watched with interest
from the ships. Two sharp explosions wcro
heard. \t first they were thought to be
the report of guns from the Spanish mask
ed batteries but proved to be the explosion
o fammunition in the burning buildings.
Three hour's waiting made the men on
the transports impatient to get ashore and
in action and every move of the warships
was closely watched by the soldiers.
A little before I) o’clock the bombard
ment of the batteries of Jaragua was be
gun by the ships of Sampson’s fleet. This
was evidently a feint to cover the real
point of attack. Jaragua being half way
between Bairiqui and Santiago.
The bombardment lasted about twenty
minutes. The scene was quickly shifted
back again to the great semi circle of the
transport fleet before Baiquiri.
At 9:40 o'clock the New Orleans opened
fire with a gun that sent a shell rumbling
and crashing against the hillside. Tho
Detroit. Wasp. Machias and Suwanee fol
lowed suit and soon the hillsides amt val
leys were ablaze amid the wildest and
most excited cheering of the soldiers on
the transports.
In five minutes the sea was alive with
flotillas of .mall boats headed by launches
speeding for Baiquiri dock.
Seme of the boats manned by crews of
sailors while others were rowed by the
soldiers themselves.
Each boat contained sixteen men. every
one in fighting trim and carrying three
day's rations. The firing warships, how
ever. proved to be a needless precaution
as their shots were not returned and no
Spaniards were visible.
A detachment of eighty regular infan
try soldiers were the first to land followed
by Shafter’s old regiment, the First infan
try. then came the Twenty-fifth infantry,
the Twenty-second infantry, the Tenth in
fantry. the Seventh and Twelfth infantry,
the Fourth Massachusetts regiment and
detachment of the Ninth cavalry. The
boats rushed forward simultaneously from
every quarter in good natnred rivalry’ to
be the first and their occupants scrambled
over one another to leap ashore.
As the boats wer tossed about in the surf
breaking .against the pier getting ashore
was no easy matter and the soldiers had
<o throw their rifles on the dock before
they could climb up themselves and some
hard tumbles resulted, but nobody was
hurt.
At the end of the pier the companies
quietly lined up and marched away. Gen.
Lawton threw a strong detachment about
six miles west on the road to Santiago and
another detachment was posted to the
north of the town along the hills.
The rest of the troops were quartered in
the town The town was deserted when
the troops landed hut the women and chil
dren soon appeared from the surrounding
thh kets and returned to their homes.
Sun bronze ! soldiers in slouch hats and
set vice uniforms quickly searched the
buildings and heat up thickets after land
ing in search of lurking foes.
V nightfall with long swinging strides
and alert bearing they started for the in
terior The cheers of their comrades .‘sa
luted them as they disappeared from the
view over the hills of Baiquiri. The land
ing was accomplished without loss of life.

Five privates of the First Georgia regt •
ment will be given commissions in the
Third Georgia regiment of United States
volunteers, says the Constitution. The
governor has decided that he would do this
in order to reward those whom he believes
should receive recognition for the services
which they have offered the country by
giving up good positions and bright futures
for privates’ places in the ranks.
Mr. Walter Harris, of Macon, who has
been commissioned a second lieutenant, is
one of the leading young attorneys of
'Macon. He graduated from the Universi
ty of Georgia with first honor in 1895 and
re-entering the next year graduated in
the law department with first honor in
189 G. He is considered an exceptionally
bright man .and rose to a high rank in
the university battalion while attending
that institution. The decision of the gov
ernor is considered a very worthy one.
(Mr. Max L. 'Mcßae will be apointed to
a second lieutenancy, as will also Mr. W.
R. Leakin, who resigned from the position
of assistant United States district attorney,
which paid him a salary of $2,500 a year,
and went into the ranks of the Savannah
volunteer gvards.
Mr. T. F. Pruitt is the fifth fortunate
prvate who will be commissioned. The
promotions will be well received by the
commanding officers of the new regiment.
Captain Erwin still has the position of
aid on General Gordon’s staff open to him,
.hut has ji.ot_accepted, as he wishes to fin
ish some business in his office relating to'
the formation of the old regiments. As
soon as this is settled upon he will join
the general, in all probability, if he is not
made lieutenant colonel of the Third Geor
gia.
The appointment of Captain Hodges to a
captaincy in the Third regiment is one of
the most popular appointments that the
governor has made. Bob will be welcomed
to 'Macon by a host of friends. It is proba
ble that he will be here tomorrow or that
he will arrive tonight from Chickamauga.
CHANCE FOR FARMERS
To Visit the Experiment Station at Reduced
Rstes.
The Central railroad will sell tickets to
parties of farmers consisting of three or
more in number, who desire to visit the
Georgia Experiment Station, at one fare
for the round trip.
The name of each farmer must be en
. tered on the ticket and application must
be made several days in advance to the
local agent of the Central railroad at the
point from whence they expect to make
the trip, so that the agent will have time
to send to Savannah for the ticket.
Parties will pay full fare going to the
station and return free on the certificate
of the director of the station certifying
that they have bona fide visited and in
spected the station. Trains will stop at
the station to put off and take on passen

The director of the station extends a
cordial invitation to any and all citizens
to visit the station during the growing
season, and at any other time.

TRUSTEES WILL
MEET J FIFTH
For the Purpose of Selecting
the Next President of
Weslevan College.
IT MAY BE DR. MONK
But None of the Trustees Seem to
Have Any Information on the
Subject At All.
The trustees of Wesleyan 'College will
meet next Tuesday week, the sth of July,
for the purpose of selecting a successor to
Dr. Hammond, the president of the col
lege whose resignation will be accepted at
the same time.
iAt present the trustees who live in Ma
con say that they are entirely at sea as
to who maj? be the successor of Dr. Ham
mond. ' iiutiibrf of names have been
mentioned but so far nothing definite has
been heard from any one in connection
with the presidency.
The name of Dr. lAlonzo Monk has been
used more than any other in connection
with the position, but it is not known
whether (Dr. (Monk would accept as from i
a financial standpoint he is in a better ;
position.
The salary attached to the presidency I
of Wesleyan is only $2,000 a year and as ,
the salary of the- church in Chattanooga
of which Dr. Monk is the pastor at present
is very much in excess of that sum it
would be a great sacrifice for him to ac
cept the presidency of Wesleyan.
It is just possible that the trustees would
consider an increase of the salary of the
office if the services of a good man could
be secured, though Dr. Hammond has
worked hard and faithfully and has made
a great success in his work and some of
the trusetes feel that it would perhaps be
a reflection to raise the salary just at this
time.
But a strong effort is to be made now to
secure the endowment for Wesleyan and
this will of necessity add to the work of
the president very greatly and as it will
take an exceptionally strong man too carry
out the plan looking to the endowment of
the college it is not at all unlikely that
the salary will be increased.

ed Hobson and his accociates of the Mer
rimac for their bravery. Mr. Myers’ letter
in part is as follows:
“Hobson and his men fought bravely to
cut their way back to us, killing many
Spaniards; but the tide was too strong and
they were carried shoreward and taken
prisoners of war.
"The Spanish captain, of the Cristobal
Colon came to this ship bearing a flag of
truce and told the admiral that all our men
were alive, but without clothes. We sent
them clothes, provisions and money. He
also said that our men fought like demons
and killed many of their men; that the
Spanish admiral said he never saw such
bravery and kissed every one of them on
the forehead.
“Everybody is admiring the pluck of the
Spaniards as the odds are all against them.
They have no food, clothes or way of
being helped, yet they will not give in.
However in another week we will take it
without loss of blood by having them sur
render or will kill every Spaniard on the
island. We are In it for fair, a<d will hold
up Old Glory in spite of every human feel
ing. The Spaniards have been cruel to our
boys of the .Maine, and now we will show
them what justice is and give them a lit
tle of Uncle Sam’s wrath.
“By the way, when the Merrimac was
going into the harbor to its doom a big
flag with “Maine” printed on it, was on
the foremast. The poor Spaniards must
have felt sore to see that we never for
get.”
