RIG PARADE AT JACKSONV ILLS.
Eleven Regiments on the March l’n
d-r Gen. Lee.
Jacksonville, Fla., JYtly s.—Amid a down
pour of rain, which continued incessantly
from start to finish, the troops stationed
at Camp Cuba Libre paraded the (greets
of Jacksonville this afternoon, headed by
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee and staff, who after
ward ri viewed the boys.
Eleven regiments were in line, and the
streets along the route of the procession
were lined with people, who stood under
awnings and umbrellas in the drizzle.
The soldiers were greeted with hearty
applause* during th- entire line of march.
The siK-ctacle of so many troops march
ing along was one not witnessed in Jack
sonville before during tlie present genera
tion, and not likely to be again.
It was a sight well calculated to ipspire
enthusiasm, and, <l< spile the dampness, the
ardor was not lessened. The bands played
"The Star Spangled Banner" and "Dixie"
as they marched along, and cheers arose
from thousands of throats.

THE MORNING NEWS: W EDNESDAY, JULY 0. 1898.
ERWIN STARTS FOR ’FRISCO.
HIS CHANCES FOR PROMOTION IN
HIS REGIMENT EXCELLENT.
Assembling of the Third Georgia
Regiment to llegin at Grillin To
day Store Honses at Cnmp
Nortben Already Filled W ith Gov
ernment Supplies for the Regi
ment—Gov. Atkinson Announces
tin Incentive for Enlisting.
Atlanta, Go., July s.—Capt. J. B. Erwin,
Fnited States army, acting adjutant gen
eral of the state, left to-night for San
Francisco to join his regiment and pro
ceed with it to Manila. 4
Capt. Erwin had been tendered an ap
pointment on the staff of Gen. W. W. Gor
don. and had signified his willingness to
accept it, but the war department refused
to approve the appointment, because he is
needed elsewhere more urgently.
He will be ranked in his regiment by
only one captain, and his chances for pro
motion are, therefore, fine. The colonel
of the Fourth Cavalry has been made a
brigadier general, while two of the majors
have been transferred to other commands
and the lieutenant colonel is soon to be re
tired, thus leaving the avenue of promo
tion comparatively clear to him.
Capt. Erwin is a Georgian of whose
record at West Point and in the army the
state is proud, and it was with a great
deal of satisfaction that his designation as
acting adjutant general was secured.
It is needless to say that his loss just
at this particular time is much regretted,
especially as the war department has noti
fied Gov. Atkinson that it will be impos
sible to detail another army officer to take
his place here, all these officers being need
ed in the active service.
All the duties of the adjutant general's
office will now fall upon W. G. O'Bear,
assistant adjutant general.
The assembling of the Third Regiment
of Georgia will begin at Griffin to-mor
row, when the detachment from the com
panies of Capt. Davies and Capt. Baker,
being recruited in this city, will be sent
down there to begin their work. Col.
Candler will himself go to Camp Northen
in the morning. His adjutant has already
gone, and everything is reported to be in
readiness to receive the men as fast as
they can be sent there. The war depart
ment has filled the store houses there with
supplies and equipments and there will be
no waiting for uniforms and arms, as was
the case on the first call for volunteers.
It will be some time yet, however, be
fore the Atlanta companies are recruited
up to the required strength, though Capt.
Baker is farther along than Capt. Davies.
The -latter commander of the
state Sons of Confederate Veterans. He
is a well-known young lawyer and he is
making a special effort to raise his com
pany from among young professional and
business men. On this account his com
pany is being dubbed the "Dude" company
by other recruiting officers, though Capt.
Davies protests that this is an Injustice
to him and his men. All he wants, he
says, is men of intelligence and good moral
character.
Asa spur to the recruiting, Gov. Atkin,
son has announced that he intends to dis
tribute a good many commissions when
the third call for volunteers is issued
among men who enlist in the ranks of the
regiments now forming and in the field.
He gave commissions to some privates iri
the First and Second regiments when the
second call came, and in addition to these
rewards Col. Candler, it Is understood, has
selected about twenty men from the two
first regiments for places ns non-com
missioned officers in the Third Regiment,
and has asked the department for their
transfer.
The Governor is already being deluged
with applicants for commissions in the
regiment expected under the third callr
This flood of qualified patriotism makes
him Bomew'hat tired. He says that most
of these would-be officers ought to go out
and enlist ns privates if they are anxious
to serve their country, and Intimates that
W’hen the third call comes this class will
not get much of a showing for officers'
places.
SITUATION IN THE KLONDIKE.

“There is a great deal of sickness in
Dawson, the death rate being three to
four daily. Typhoid pneumonia and scurvy
are ihe prevailing ailments.
It is reported that there are 16,000 claims
recorded, and only about 200 are on a pay

HE S ANG OF FREEDOM.
Therefore Spuin Murdered Don Jose
Rtsnl.
From the New Y'ork Press.
Perhaps the saddest and the most he
roic story of the war, as far as Spain is
concerned, was enacted some days ago in
the miliatry prison of Barcelona, twelve
soldiers and the most promising young
poet Spain has produced for fifty years
being the chief performers.
As the smoke of the Mausers cleared
away the provost general threw a blan
ket over the lifeless form of #on Jose
Rizal the genius of freedom buried her
head and the muse Wept. But Ihe court
martial declared that justice had been
done and that the honor of Spain was the
richer for the life ended and the heart,
broken. Aye. it was an affair of the heart
as well as of politics, for the priest who
attended Don Jose at the ditch had laid
the poets’ hand into that of a lovely girl
ten minutes before the curtain rose upon
the last act of the drama of his life.
Don Jose, the notable victim of a war
which seems to demand more civilian than
military blood, belonged' to one of the
proudest old families of Castile. Thougn
scarcely 30 year old, his name was famil
iar to the Spanish-speaking peoples the
world over. The younger generation and
the women generally loved him as one
of their most gifted lyric poets; the world
of science and letters looked upon him as
an inventor and historian of wonderful
promise. Rich, healthy, energetic, and
enthusiastic, he was allowed to put into
his literary work the best that was in
him. Po=sessir.g ample means for prose
cuting his scientific investigations, he
pushed them to the utmost length.
The Rizals have always owned large es
tates in the Philippines, a country Don
Jose loved. Two years ago he set out for
the islands to make them his home and
to study native conditions and folk lore
among that poor, down-trodden race. His
heart went out to them. Every true poet
feels for the oppressed; that is In the na
ture of poetry. Don Jose, a veritable child
as to politics, seems to have let his heart
run away with his head. What he felt
for the natives, what he had seen of the
conditions under which they groaned, he
put on paper, and his lyre only too gen
erously responded to the rich impulse of
freedom that swayed him. He wrote per
haps a dozen poems setting forth the jus
tice of the islands’ demands and calling
upon them to defend their ideals.
These poems, conceived in the warmth
of a freedom-hungry heart, found ready
echo among those to Whom they were ad
dressed. The natives, without literature,
sadly in need of an intellectual leader,
began to look upon Don Jose as tfteir na
tional poet. His pongs, written in an
easy style, became in an incredibly short
space of time the property of the common
people. They were sung at all their meet
ings, the women sang them in the fields,
the men on their hunting and fishing
trips, and especially when they entered
upon the warpath. What the poet had
intended for an expression of his own
justice-loving soul became a battle cry
wholly without effort on his part, and
indeed, without his knowledge.
On April 1, just a month before Admiral
Dewey steamed into Manila harbor, Don
Jose was arrested at the instance of Gov.
Gen. Augusti, at the moment when he em
barked with a party of friends for the is
land of Iloilo to celebrate his betrothal
witli Senorita Louise Taufers, a daughter
of the former consul general of the Ger
man empire, F. B. Taufers.
Rizal. his intended wife, his new rela
tives and friends were dumbfounded. The
poet was unaware of having done any
thing unlawful. He could easily prove
that he had no connection with the insur
gents; that, in fact, he was so thorough a
novice in matters political that he hardly
knew the dlrti rent parties by name.
No matter—Augustl had his orders. Ri
zal offered his . xtenslve estates as secur
ity. He was laughed at. These estates had
already been confiscated. Consul General
Taufers offend bail to any amount. It was
refused. After a short season of incarcer
ation, Don Jose was carried to the man
of-war Cortilla and was sent to Spain.
At Barcelona a court martial forthwith
assembled to sit upon the case. The crime
charged against Don Jose was high trea
son.
The proceedings were short and to the
point. When Don Jose had confessed that
certain poems attributed to him were pro
ducts of his pen, “he was already A dead
man.”
it seems almost beyond belief that, at
the end of the nineteenth century, a man
should be executed for his opinions, but
such was the government's intention from
the slant. Rizal's family and the family of
his brtiV exerted themselves vainly in his
be half. A respite until Don Jose's bride and
sister; bad arrived from Manila was all
their efforts yielded.
On May 27 the young women arrived; on
the same day Senorita Taufers had an in
terview with Don Jose. She found a
changed man. The poet, used to light
and air, to luxury and freedom, was a
broken-hearted man, who had withered in
the foul prison air. He first refused to
see her. What was he to her, a man con
demned to die by powder and lead? But
after he had talked to Isouise he consented
to ask a last boon of the Queen Regent—
he begged lo l*’ allowed to give his name
lo the woman he loved.
On ihe evening of May 31 that permis
sion was gazetted. On the morning of
the following day the young couple were
quietly married in the prison chapel. Jose
and Louise' were together for ten min
utes, and tlie witnesses to Ihe scene say
that neither spoke a single word after the
ceremony.
At the end of the time the priest touched
Don Jose's arm. It was the signal that
death was waiting. Then the poet fell
upon his bride's neck with the words.
“Ml ultimo i*ns t mien to,” and a flood of
tears broke from his eyes.
Presently a platoon of soldiers appeared
outside the chattel. The commanding offi
cer entered, naked sword in hand. The
young wife swooned away. Don Jose
pressed a last kiss upon her white Ups,
turned upon his heels, and, holding his
; bead high, walked to his death

ANCIENT SEITLCHRE.
Found Near Columbus, Ohio, Con
tains Bones and Skulls in Profu
sion,
From the Columbus Dispatch.
A rich mine for the archaeologist was
developed near this city on Tuesday, and
it is to be hoped that the proper officials
of the State University may find much
there to add to their collection. On the
farm of Mr. E. J. Miller, of this city, was
the find made. The farm is about four and
one-half miles southeast of Columbus, and
is devoted to large and small fruit rais
ing, and irrigation forms a prominent fea
ture of the cultivation. On the farm is a
very large mound, the summit of which
is higher than the top of the dome of the
state house.
Recently it was determined to construct
a reservoir on the top of this mound, the
water supply to be obtained from a spring
in the valley beneath, the water being
raised by a steam pump, pipes then car
rying the water wherever needed on the
farm. The reservoir was to be ten feet
deep and twenty-seven feet in diameter.
Men were put to work yesterday, and had
teaehed a depth of 18 inches or two feet,
when a sepulchre was opened, that was
beyond the experience of any in the party
who knew anything about the opening of
Indian mounds. The soil, after breaking
through the top soil, was light and crum
bling, showing that It had been disturbed
at some unknown period. Then skulls be
gan to be found; the spade would cut
through a thigh bone or the bone of an
arm; ribs, and other bones were In profu
sion. Some attention was paid to the dig
ging and quite a number of bones, includ
ing skulls, were recovered In fairly good
shape. The diggers reported that the num
ber of people who were buried there must
have been a hundred, if the number of
bones was any criterion by which to judge.
There was a large variety of flint arrow
heads found, w T lth a number of curious
shaped stones, the use of which was puz
zling to the men who unearthed them, but
possibly known to the professional arch
aeoltgist. The age of the mound Is, of
course, beyond present knowledge, but
there were present at the digging a num
ber of people who had lived In the violnity
a great many years. They stated that they
remembered years ago that a tree, at least
two and one-half feet in diameter, stood
on the top of the mound, where the exca
vation was made, but there has been no
trace of that tree for many years. Tne his
tory of those men, whose bones have just
been uncovered, would undoubtedly read
like a romance, but the secret of the origin
and their end is a mystery of the past. A
number of the relics will be brought to the
city, but there are but few of them in a
condition to remove or to last long, for the
great part of them crumble under the
pressure of the hand.
