THAT BIG_ RtVIEW Some Doubt Expressed as to Finding Sufficient Ground WOULD BE 1 MILE LONG Moving of the Battalion of Engi neers to Cuba Postponed~Gos sip of the Camp. The third battalion of the rs " ill not go to Cuba at the time announc 'd. The order came yost<-rday afternoon countermanding the firm order. The cause for the postponement of the movement is because a -form at sea delayed the trans port that was to have conveyed the bat talion to Cuba. Everything was in readiness for the movement of the battalion and the men had prepared to strike the tents this morning. One of the staff officers said this morning 'that the regiment would probably leave here Saturday, however, as it was thought that ths transports would be in by tha.t time. Lieutenant f’olonei Biddlt, who selected the camp sites here, is now in Cuba and will select the camps ths re. The commissary stores are all packed in the cars together with the ammunition and when, rhe orders come the battalion ran move on twenty-four hours’ notice. It was stated in another paper yesterday that* the men of the engineers were all anxious to go to (Cuba. This is denied by <h»* men. They say that th<y want to be miustered out of the service, but if they have to remain in they would as soon be in CuNi as anywhere else. It seems as if all of the troops want to be mustered out but the war department seems disposed to hold them, and it now looks as if they will have to serve out the two years. At present there is some anxiety among the colored officers. The board of inquiry which was appointed acme time ago to in vestigate as to their competence is hard at work and will' render a report in a few 'lays. It was learned this morning that several of the officers would be dropped from ‘the service on account of incom petency. The negro soldiers have given no trouble recently. They have been very quiet and no reuorts of disorderly conduct have been sent in to the provpst head quarters. ♦ Dress parades are held every afternoon by the negro soldiers and two of the regi ments, the Tenth and Seventh Immunes, are very well drilled. The second lieuten mts of these regiments are negroes, but they seem to have very little to do with the meh and the companies are entirely in charge of white officers. A large crowd of people witnessed the parade of the Third Engineers yesterday afternoon. 'I hose who saw rhe parade pronounce it one of the -best that has ever been held in the city. The Second Ohio held dress parade for the first time yesterday afternoon. As there are only eight companies now in camp there it was found -that there was sufficient room in front of the officers’ quarters to hold 'the parade. The band also gave a concert, which was listened to by many people from the city. The mep of this regiment have made many friends ,n the city and seem to take pleas ure in entertaining their friends at the camp. The paymaster will come here today or tomorrow. It was rumored on the streets this morning- that the paymasters had come, but they have not jet reported to the division headquarters. One of 'the siaff officers said this mopping that $250,- 000 would be paid to the men here. This will be a large amount of money and a greater part of it will be spent in Macon .1.-. very few of the men send their money home. General Wilson is expected to return re Saturday. He is in Columbus today and will go to Americus tomorrow- anil 11 om tlu re he will return to Macon Dur ing his absence General Bates has been in • iiargt' ot the army, and has attended to dl <>i I'© official business. A question iha f is now puzzling the officers is that they are- at a loss to find a large enough ground o hold a review when the pres ident noines. It was thought that the 1 eutral City park would be sufficiently 1 'ige. but it is claimed that it will not bold three regiments in line. A board of officers will go out. tomorrow to look for a p;aee io hold the review. The land around Bellevue has been suggested, but' the officers have not yet seen it, and it is not known what will be done. A body of 7,000 troops in line will be over a mile long and it can be seen that it will take a large body of land to ad eemmedate so many mtn. It will take s< veral hours for the troops to pass the r< view stand and the president's time will be taken up while here in reviewing the troops. It was thought that the review A-ould be had in the streets of Macon, but it. has been found that they were also too small, as there would not be room for the reviewing officers. \ll newspaper men have been refused admisison to the division hospital and very few citizens are allowed to enter. It is not known Why this is done, but it is 'thought that the officers do not wish tor the public to know how the have the patients arranged. It is understood that they still have the negroes and whites in ihe same wards, as was announced in The News some time ago. It was stated at the time that other arrangements would be made, but it seems that obey have not been done, and that the white men are still required to remain near the negroes. The health of the men has improved since their arrival here and it seems as if the climate of Macon has a good effect on ■(lie soldiers. Only four soldiers have died n-'e they have been in camp here and only two of them from sickness. The signal corps has connected all of the camps with the telephone line and their work is practically ovtr. At the provost guard house only a few men are confined and for t'l past few days the guards have had very little io do. They are in good trim, however, for pay day and wil be ready to answer all calls. Major Logan has his men well trained .nd ail of them know what their duties «i r* 3 . it would be surprising to know the .mount of bread that is consumed by the troops every day. The regimental wagons from .be different camps come into the city every day after supplies and fully five wagon loads of bread are used by each regiment every two days. The Sixth Virginia will probably be re leased from arrest this afternoon and some of the men will be allowed to come into the city. They have been in arrest since their arrival here three weeks ago and they are all anxious to get out. They have promised their officers that they will behave if they are given their freedom and they wil pjrobably be given a trial. CA-STOItTA. Bears the Kind You Hara Aiwavs Bought NEGRO SOLDIER.

Massenburg to Old Com rades-in-Arms. Opt. T. L. Massenburg. of Macon, writes the following story of the conduct of Capt. W. AV. 'Carnes’s Battery at Chick amauga: "Seeming that ycur correspondents sel dom write of the meritorious deeds cf ithv artillery cf the army, and having served iu that branch, I desire to pay tribute to Capt. VV. W. Carnes Battery at .Chicka mauga, which furnished the most conspic uous example of gallantry that I saw dur ing the war. "In the light of Saturday. Septembed 19, •Carnes's Battery served with Cheatham’S •Division, being engaged upon .the left of the line, and without support in the rear. , The woods through rwhich they advanced were so dense with undergrowth that it was almost impossible to keep the battery • up with the infantry line. The infantry struck the enemy first, and as soon as Carnes could clear the ground of under growth, which he had to do with a detail of men armed with axes, he put his bat tery in position, and opened on the ad vancing FederaJs with canister. In the heavy fighting which immediately followed many of the men and horses were eo n killed or disabled; and Carnes, seeing rhe impossibility of saving his guns, if our line should te pressed back, sent his or derly to report the situation to the divis ion commander and ask for help. "Receiving reply to hold his ground as long as passible, Capt. Carnes dismounted his officers and sergeants and put them and r.be drivers of the disabled horses at the guns to replace the cannoneers as they were shot dewn, and, giving the enemy double charges of canister at close range, drove back the line in his front; but as he had no support on fiis left, rhe Federals swung around the battery until it. was al most surrounded. Finding it impossible to hold out longer, Carnes sent his few surviving men' to the rear and, with his ! sergeant, fired his left gun a few times as rapidly as possible to keep back the fast closing lines, and then he and his sergeant jumped to their horses, which were tied near by. The sergeant, mounting first, was riddled with bullets from a volley that passed over the Captain as he was in the act of mounting, wounding his horse. Making a dash for the now narrow open ing to the rear, Capt, Carnes escaped cap ture by being well mounted and a good rider. His horse was struck a number of times, and could barely carry his rider til! he reached the support coming from the rear, and fell just after he passed through the advancing Confederate line. "Os that left gun detachment, the Cap i tain informed me that only one man be ' s’des himself was known to have gotten our. an<P he fa German corporal) was so badly wounded as to be permanently dis abled. Os rhe battery horses, forty-nine here left deAd on the ground, while thir ty-eight men and officers were killed ami wounded--a total of nearly fifty per cent of the men carried into the fight, and in an engagement of less than an hour. Gen. Bragg afterwarns viewed the position. lie complimented Capt. Carnes highly, and made him commander of a battalion of | four batteries. ' "The terrible daughter in and around Carnes’s Battery was the talk of the i army, and the writer, with many others, visited the spot and saw the men and jhc.iscs lying dead -about the guns. In one ; r’ace. there were thirteen horses touching i one another. I learned from the Captain i teat this pile contained the full teems of j one gun and caisson and the saddle horse cf the sergeant of the piece. Early in the act’on the limber chest was exploded, '.‘■owing the wheel driver from his horse and burning the horses so badly that they > ran away. The lead driver turned his hciees to the rear and ran into rhe caisson, j locking the wheels of both. The sergeant , dismounted and gave his horse to the j driver to hold, and all were shot down 1 wlere they stood. Can any cavalry dash or infantry charge exceed this exhibition of sublime courage I and devotion to the duty? The position of the battery on the field is marked by an <T"< a! tablet placed by the Commission ers of Chickamauga Park, and by brass field pieces located a. short distance in front of the handsome monument of Beat ty’s 'Brigade.

Persons who wish pianos -as surprises for their families for Christmas will be permitted 'to keep them at our store until ready to be delivered for Christmas.

A lieutenant who was among the wounded before Santiago thus describes the sensation of being a target for a rapid fire gun: “We were going forward under a scat tering fire from the front, and all at once, off at the right, a rapid firing gun opened on us. There was no smoke, so we could not locate the battery exactly, but we could see the bullets playing over the long grass like spray from a hose. They didn’t have the range at first, and the shower of bullets went swinging back and forth, clipping uff the tops of the grass and com ing nearer us with every sweep. You can’t imagine the sensations it gave us to watch ■ that death spray, driven by some invisi . ble, relentless force, creeping on and on. reaching out and feeling for us. “There was something unnatural about it, and we watched as though we were fascinated by it. 1 didn’t feel as if men had anything to do with it. It was an im • personal deadly enemy that I couldn’t i fight and couldn’t.escape. There wasn’t a living enemy within sight. At last, with one big sweep, the shower reached us. Men all around me dropped, and then I felt a sting in my side, and down I went. 1 be lieve we were all thankful when that gun found us. It relieved the tension—but i» ended my fighting.” The Biggest Silver The biggest silver producer in the world at present is the Broken Hill Proprietary company, in New South Wales. The out put of that company’s mines for the fiscal year ending on May 31, 1898, was 6.129,- 270 fine ounces ot’ silver. The Anaconda Copper Mining company, in Montana, vaiue second, with a production of 5.074,- I 036 ounces of silver. It is worth noting ' that in both of these mines the silver is produced in connection with other metals —at Broken Hill with lead and at Ana -1 conda with copper. The latter is princi pally a copper mine, since the metal forms i the greater part of the value of its ores. The Compania Huanchaea de Bolivia i has had the operation of its mines serious ly interfered with for the last two years by water and other mishaps. Its produc tion in 1897 was 151,995 kilograms, or 4,886,673 ounces, of silver. This is not 1 much more than one-half of the maximum output, which was reached in 1893 and was 281,007 kilograms, or 9,034,385 ounces. Engineering and Alining Jour- ! nah Kitchener’s Discipline. For 15 years General Kitchener his worked his officers and men mercilessly. The regulations of the Egyptian army al low no married men on the staff or in places of responsibility. Marriage inter feres with tropical work. Sick leave is ■ given to any officer who breaks down once. A second illness severs the connec tion between any officer in Kitchener’s force and the Egyptian army. The men who have fought under Kitchener and who are now returning by twos and threes i to London say that when one goes forth to battle under their iron general victory i is assured, and when men trust their lead | er it is equivalent to the addition of many battalions to the army. Kitchener was cold as ice when there was work to do, but he broke down and wept bitterly at I the burial service of Gordon, which was held in the ruins of the palace at Khartum on Sunday, Sept. 4. He is a Liberal, and his stern character is strengthened b/ ! profound religious conviction.
