FIGHTING FEELS - LIKE FOOTBALL. Yonng DeLoach Who Was in Fight at Santiago Gives His Experiences. K Delxtach, the young Atlanta boy who left school and enlisted with the •Second Massachusetts regiment, passed through the eiy last night on his way back to school -al Andover, Mass., the place he left to enter the army. He wa~ in ail the fighting around San tiago and has many thrilling experiences to till His parents secured his discharge trom I: - army without his knowledge and he says he was both surprised and disap pointed when the captain of his company told him that be was no longer in the service of the United States. He is now suffering with sickness con tracted whde n Cuba, but it does not seem o rouU. him very much Speaking of its experiences to t News reporter, he said: ctil-stfd ’ Massachusetts in the Sec ond Massachusetts, and we were not in vamp 1-Mig before we were sent at once to the tront I enjoyed .the camp life very much. but I liked the fighting better. The first battle I went into 1 felt just like I CM w»ion I v ; into a football game and anybody who has ever played football can tell exactly how I felt. Our rvc.ment was sent right into the Ime of fighting. I could hear the bullets sir.c' • < fc.-e we could see the enemy, but we » t jvg mind that so much, but most of the men wanted to return the fire before we were- tn range. When we got in range our I:. u’euant colonel gave the order to ■eminence firing, a sour colonel staid two miles ia the rear throughout all the fight '. ’.g and •.-■it mangroves When we opened fire w -ave away our position as we were using black poAvder and it made lots of smedv. We were ordered to the rear sev eral times, but we would be sent back again. Finally we were deployed as aJarm isaers, and then was when we did our fighting. I remember at one time of being behind a small tree with a friend of mine when ii.. explosive bullet struck rhe tr.et , > the bark m my face, and it was not : wo seconds before the next man to me was shot in the neck by a mauser bullet and was killed. To see men falling on all isides and to hear their cries, did not make a fellow feel pleasant and I thought that every minute would be my last, but I went through without a scratch.” “•Do you remember killing any Span iards?'’ ’’Yes, I remember getting two. Several of our company were doing sentinel duty one day and about six Spaiardß were in a block bouse pot tar away and wer® firing on ua every minute, but we were not al lowed to return the fire, an officer fi nally came along and told us to run them out and we opened up. We made it so hot for tb< m that They ran out and as they did so I took deliberate aim at one and he dropped. I and another soldier shot at an other at the same time and be also drop pea. These are the only two that I couid «iay that I killed. “When we went into the first fight we had nothing to eat for two days except hard tack, and many of the men dropped from exhaustion. The country there Is very rough and it greatly handicapped the men in fighting. The privates were all surprised at the conduct of the generals, whom they thought would load them to battle. I did not see a single general on the fighting line during the wbole two days time and the efflcers of the eompaniese bad ito do what they thought was right, as they had no orders. The wounded men had -all the possible attention and none were al lowed to suffer. “Sixteen men from my company were killed and twenty-three wounded, and that will show that our company was in the thick of the fight. I went into Che city o' Santiago and spent several days after the fight was over. The Spaniards treated me royally and seemed to be a very hospitable people. I acted as interpreter for our cap tain on several occasions. The Spaniards were the sickest looking men I ever saw, and all of them seemed afraid to go back to Spain. One of them told me that they would be set down as cowards for the re mainder of their lives if they were return ed and that they had rather remain in Cuba than to go home. All of the Span iards had an idea that we would kill them 1f we captured them, ’and I am sure that a number of them committed suicide when they saw that they would be obliged to surrender. “All this talk That you have heard about the Spaniard® not fighting is not true. Those fellows so ight like demons and every inch of ground we gained we had to work for it. The reporter on the Atlanta Jour nal who came out to see me after my re turn. quoted me as saying that we were in trenches for a great portion of the day. That is no true. We did not have any trenches until we captured those occupied by the Spaniards. “I was never more surprised in my life than I was one day when our captain came up to me and told me that he was sorry to inform me that I was no longer in the service of the United tSates and that my parents had secured my discharge. I was very much disappointed, but I had to leave. The government did not give me transportation home and I had to pay it would have liked to stay longer. Deboach had'a high fever last night and said that he was feeling badly, He thought that he would be all right when he reached Savannah. He was probably the youngest soldier im the army, being only seventeen years old when he enlisted. Notes Taken On the Run.

The Georgia Export and Import Com pany has issued a circular regarding cot ton shipments by its steamers, a coify of which will be found below. It will be seen that hereafater rates named on cotton will be for standard bales and that when bales of cotton are not up to that standard they will be inspected and measured and the proportional difference in the rate charged, or, 'at the option of the shiper, the bale will be reeompressed at his expense. The standard bale was adopted as the basis of rates at Galveston and New Or leans last season and found of great ad v-antoge in making shipments. Its general adoption will ultimately tend to ‘lower the freight rates, as it will enable ships to handle 'and store cotton better and thereby carry larger cargoes. The circular is as follows: Georgia Export and Import Company, Savannah, Ga., Sept. ’ 7, 1898.—Rates on cotton named for steamers of this com pany wil'l be for standard bales. 1. That, is the bale is to be properly 'aind sufficiently banded and compressed and delivered to the steamer with a density of not less than 22% pounds to the cubic foot. 2. When bales are not up to ‘this stan dard, they will be inspected and measured, when practicable, in presence of the ship per or his representative, and the propor tional difference in rate applied or colected ■from the shipper, or at option of he ship per reeompressed at his expense. G. ; M. Sorrel, 'Manager. The cotton box of 24x54 inches is especially recommended as giving the best dimensions for 'Standard density and for i economical handling; and it is also urged that bales be banded with eight hoops as a better surety of the required density. The company invites correspondence with '■ shippers of large round lots of bales from boxes of these dimensions. A SEPTEMBER VACATION. An Ideal Place for a Rest and Restoration to Health. Georgia has many popular summer and health resorts, but none more deservedly popular both for health and pleasure th'an the magnificent Wigwam Hotel, at Indian Spring. The marvelous waters of the old spring continue, as they have for the -past hun dred years, to bring health and 'Strength to the hundreds who drink it, and in addition to this, here are found everything that goes to make up a perfect 'summer home. The splendid orchestra under the direction of Mr. S. Koenigsherg, the celebrated violin ist from Denver, gives three concerts each 'day, and these, with card parties, walks, drives, bowling, tennis, and numerous oth er amusements, make the short September days go by ‘all too quickly. Not a little of the popularity of the ho tel is due to the splendid management of the office, in charge of Chief Clerk C. J. Foster, for so long chief clerk of the Hotel Marion, in Atlanta, and so well known to the traveling men of the South, many of whom visit the Wigwam , on their trips through that section. Among the prominent people who are quartered at the Wigwam may be mention ed Hon. S. iD. Rumph, the peach king, and his wife and daughter, of Marshallville. Quite a number of prominent people also from Atlanta, Macon, Monticello, Brooklyn, N. Y., and many other places, make up a ' delightful party of guests Whose every want is admirably attended to by Manager Hooper and his well trained force of assis tants. TRAGEDY IN FORT VALLEY.
