FUR THE FIRST.
Suggested that the Boys Be
Given a Warm Welcome

the First. regiment a big reception on the
occasion of their arrival in Macon.
So far no action has been taken in this
diiection bit' it is being generally talked,

the different companies.
The good suggestion is made that the

( * take rhe initiative the whole town wifi
readily fall into line and the whole affair
can lie very quickly arranged.
| The regiinuii is to be mustered out in
Macon, Savannah and Albany, but all the
companies will pass through .Vacon. If
possible the whole regiment will be In
cluded in the reception, but it the other
■ companies cannot stop, the Macon boys
will be made to feel that their welcome
1 borne Is sincere and warm.
There should be no delay in making the
preliminary arrangements for the recep

SHARP MESSAGE
FROM GEN, MILES
“Never Mind What Aleer
Savs, I am in Command
Now.”
TROOPS MUST RE MOVED,
Camp Wickoff Will Be Broken Up
at Once and None of the Troops
Will Be Left at that Point.
New York, Sept. 12 —A dispatch from
Camp Wikoff to the Press says.
“Under premptory orders from General
Miles, preparations are being made to I
break up this camp at once by sending I
home all the soldiers here. This is entire- I
ly contrary to what has bedh the under- I
standing of the officers in command.
‘General Shafter said last week that
6.000 or 7,000 men will be kept here until
October and this is supposed to have been
the order of Alger. An officer said today
that when Miles' orders came a telegram
was sent to him saying that his order was ■
contrary to that of Alger and Miles replied I
“Never mind what Alger says; I am in
command now.”
“ ‘That course settled it so far as the
officers here are concerned and, unless
Miles' orders are countermanded, next
week will see the practical end of Camp
Wikoff.
“General Bates said: ‘My orders are to
send the troops as fast as transportation
can be arranged.
“When asked if these orders did not
conflict with 'those of Alger’s he simply*
said: 'They are new orders.’ ”
ALGER TALKS.
He Says that There’s Nothing New in Miles’
Order.
Detroit, Sept. 12.—Concerning the re
ports from Camp Wikoff that the camp is
preparing to break up under peremtory
new orders from General Miles, Alger said
today:
“There is nothing new in that. Caimp
iWikoff from the first was merely intended
as a detention camp. The purpose from the
first has been to get soldiers away from
there as soon as possible. No change in.
this purpose is indicated by these dis
patches.

MILES MASTER
Os the Alger Situation Says One of His
Best Friends.
New York, Sept. 12. —An army associate
of General Miles said last night:
“General Miles returns to Washington
in very good humor. He has said some
things and he stands by every word he has
said. Furthermore, he can prove the truth
of every statement. He knows why the
secretary of war has gone to Camp Meade,
and he knows why General Shafter has
gone there.. Watch results and see if what
I tell you does not prove true. Alger has
sent for Shafter to pump him dry. If,
with Shafter’s assistance as & bureau of
Information, the secretary can make out a
case against Miles, there will ibe a court
of inquiry. If he can’t, there won’t he.
If Alger expects to cope with General Midee
he must cover up his tracks better, and he
must study strategy. Miles is now the
master of the situation, and it will take
abler men than the secretary of war an<}
an abler man who managed, or mismanag
ed. the Santiago campaign, to outgeneral
Miles. You know his record is he
never lost a battle.’’

COL. REAVES
HAS RESIGNED
He is Now on His Wav Home
from the Regiment at
Santiago.
RAT GOT RID OF HIM
By Putting Hard Work and Difficult
Duties Upon Him —Major Gor
don Was Suspended,
Santiago de Cuba, 3:17 p. m., September
11, via Cape Haytien, 6:30 p. m., Septem
ber 11. —At last the affairs of the Third
regiment of immunes have begun to take
shape, and the result is the departure by
the Nashville, of Lieutenant Colonel
Reaves, and the suspension of Major Frank
Gordon from duty pending the hearing of
the enanges against him of conduct unbe
coming an officer.
The troubles of the Third regiment began
before it left Georgia, when Colonel Reaves
was forced upon Colonel Ray as his next
in command. Reaves is a somewhat anti
quated gentleman with old ideas of slow
ness and personal ease, which do not com
port with the active duties of a colonel in
command of a regiment during exciting
times. His appointment to the lieutenant
colonelcy was said to be due to the polit
ical pull of United States Senator Bate, of
Tennessee. Although the Third regiment
was 'being organized as an active force,
it was thus placed under some officers who
owed their places simply to politics.
Against this Colonel Ray vigorously pro
tested. He declared that his lieutenant
colonel was unfit either physically or men
tally for the position to which he had been
commissioned. The first ehargese of this
nature were preferred against Lieutenant
Colonel Reaves immediately upon the ar
rival of the regiment at this post, but they
were difficult of direct substantiation, and
the consequence was that they fell through.
It was at this point that a new idea sug
gested itself to Colonel Ray, namely: That
it would be much easier to convict his lieu
tenant colonel of the delinquencies com
plained of by assigning him to such active
duties as would make the facts apparent
The consequence was that Lieutenant Col
onel Reaves was given very little time for
wining, dining or parading upon the plaza.
He was engaged in hard work hy the direct
command of his colonel, from which he
could not escape.
It did not take Colonel Ray long to sea
that his new policy was having its effect,
and that his lieutenant colonel was get
ting very tired of strict military exactions.
The lieutenant colonel realized that he was
engaged in a losing fight, and that his dis
comforture would come sooner or later. Ac
cordingly he made a virtue of necessity
and resigned. Colonel Ray lost no time
in having the paper pushed through, and
at the moment that this dispatch is being
written Lieutenant Colonel Reaves is on
board the Nashville, which is plowing its
way up the windward passage, (bound for
the continent.
The second case which has troubled Col
onel Ray no little was that of Major Frank
Gordon. Everybody who knows Frank
knows him to be genial, whole-souled and
Impulsive, given to warmth Os expression
and not at all a martinet in his views so
the performance of difficult tasks. His
original ambition was to be a captain, and
if he had been left in that commission
some of his later faults might have been
overlooked. But the embryo captain made
such an impression upon the heart of Col
onel Ray that he himself had the young
man commissioned as major, and he was
•given co.manmd of one battailoin of the
regiment. Frank immediately felt good,
and celebrated his prosperity with his
friends. This celebration, which began
even before Georgia faded away from the
vision of the regiment as it sailed out on
the waters blue for Santiago, was Kept up
when this city was reached. Frank was
glad that he was a major. He was equally
glad that the Americans had won the war.
He was rejoiced when he saw the stars and
stripes ■waving over the town palace, and
in his exceeding good nature, he rejoiced
all the more. While this was going on,
however, military discipline was (becoming
lax and Colonel Ray regretted the impul
siveness which had led h ! m to make a major
of Frank before he had satisfied himself
that the young man could resist the temp
tations attendant upon prosperity.
Therefore, he has filed charges of a mil
der sort against (Major Gordon, and pend
ing the hearing of them the major is under
military displeasure, but his exceeding
good humor is likely to get him out of the
trouble, for, after all, Colonel Ray is kind
hearted, and dearly loves the dashing
young man who gives to the Third regi
ment that spirit and eclat which is so nec
essary to a thorough military organization.

Awful Tragedy Last Night in

BOTH MACON VOLUNTEERS.
Snllivan is a Bibb County Boy and
His Victim Came from East
man, Dodge County.
The news of a terrible tragedy which
occurred at Camp Roland. Knoxville, late
last night reached Macon this
Private A. W. Sullivan stabbed and kill
ed Arthur Burns, his tent mate. Both of
the men belonged to the company made up
of the Macon Volunteers. Sullivan’s fam
ily lives at Walden in this county and
Arthur Burns lived near Eastman before
joining the first regiment.
According to the best information re
ceived here it seems that the two men had
been drinking and were heard quarreling
in their tent about midnight. Suddenly
one of the voices stopped and Sullivan
came out of the tent shouting that he had
killed Burns. He was arrested and an ex
amination proved tha his statement was
correct. Burns was quite dead having been
stabbed several times.
Sullivan was placed in confinement. But
it is thought that he has completely lost
his mind. He behaved like a maniac.
The affair has east a gloom over the
whole regiment. The men had been tent
mates from the time the regiment was
mustered in at Griffin. Sullivan has all
the time been looked upon as somewhat
weak-minded. Two of his brothers enlisted
with him but they were discharged, one
o£ them being under age.

them the figures showing the increase of
commerce on the river since the boats
have been running and will ask for the
appropriation which was granted for the
improvement of the rivet in 1890. The
stockholders in the present boat are all
elated over the prospects of ha ig a new
boat on the river at an early date and they
hope to be able to run a regular schedule
between here and the coast. They are
keeping down the freight rates as it is
and when the new boat is put in operati |
the rates can be made lower.
