A GREAT MILITARY PARADE
Is Arranged By Committee For “Dewey and
Brumby Day” In Atlanta, Ga.
OTHER STATES ARE INVITED
Affair Promises to Be Grandest
Ever Witnessed In the
Southern States.
The biggest military demonstration
that lias ever occurred iu Atlanta or
in the state of Georgia will be given
in honor of Admiral Dewey and Lieu
tenant Brumby October 25th. The
general reception committee at its
session in Atlanta Tuesday morning,
recognizing the importance of the mil
itary feature of the celebration, appro
priated the sum of $5,000 to meet the
expenses which will be incurred from
this source.
Unless the indications fail, and there
is no reason to believe they will, the
militia of Georgia will be backed up
in the parade by troops from Alabama,
Tennessee, South Carolina, North Car
olina and possibly Florida. Telegrams
were hurried off Tuesday by the mili
tary committee to the adjutants general
of each ot the states named asking
them to wire an invitation at the
committee’s expense to each company
commander in their jurisdiction, to
take part in the big military parade iu
honor of Dewey and Brumby.
At the lowest estimate made by any
member of the military committee
there will he in Atlanta over 3,000
visiting troops and the number may
go up upon the receipt of replies from
the different states to 5,000.
Acting Adjutant General l’hil Byrd,
at the meeting of the general commit
tee, was tendered the position of mar
shal of the day on the occasion of the
parade. The selection was regarded
by the committee as a wise one on ac
count. of the familiarity of the acting
general with the military organization
of *he state.
Immediately after the adjournment
of the general committee a meeting
of the military committee was called
and iu the short session a great deal
toward making the parade the distinct
feature of the Dewey celebration was
accomplished.
Colonel J. Van Holt Nash was ap
pointed a committee of one to proceed
at once securing quarters for the
troops on the basis of 2,000 or 2,500
visiting soldiers.
Nclirlibortnif SUtc* Invited.
The remarkably cheap rate of one
cent a mile which has been offered for
certain days by the railroads entering
Atlanta will bo extended over military
and Dewey day, w hich under the pres
ent arrangements have been made the
same. The low rates it is believed will
be a special iiuluecement to the troops
of the neighboring states that have
been invited to take-part iu the cele
bration.
There was scarcely a command in
the south that did not make an effort
to go to New York and join in the first
ovation to the hero admiral, and the
hundreds who failed to take advantage
of the opportunity will he presented
with the same chance in Atlanta. The
telegrams to the adjutants general of
the different states were sent shortly
after noon Tuesday.
The committee realizes that the time
left in which to prepare for the big
demonstration is short and those
troops that come from a distance will
be compelled to decide at once. Iu
spite of this the military committee is
confident that each of the states in
vited will make a good showing and
that the demonstration will bo the
finest of the kind ever formed in the
city.
I’rovlulon For tHe Troops.
Out of the appropriation of $5,000
which has been made by the general
committee, will come the expense of
caring for the troops, who, while in
the city, it is understood, will be the
guests of Atlanta. Notices were sent
by telegraph to each company com
mander in the state notifying him that
his men will be fed and provided with
a place by the committee and that all
the troops are expected to bring is the
DELEUALS RETURNED TO JAIL.
Their Attorney* Seek New Trial Prison
er* Tell Story of Bad Treatment.
A Savannah, Ga., dispatch says:
John and Edward Delegal, the two
Mclntosh county negroes who were
couvicted of the murder of Joseph
Townsend and sentenced to life terms
in the penitentiary, were returned to
the Chatham county jail Tuesday.
Their return to Chatham county
jail was the result of habeas corpus
proceedings which had to be instituted
by their attorneys before they could
be taken from the penitentiary camps.
The Delegals tell a story of terrible
sutlering at the convict camp in Brooks
countv.
regulation campaign dress and blank
et for use at night.
The troops will be fed from a gener
al commissary which is to be estab
lished at some convenient point to the
troop headquarters. No regular honr
forineals will bo fixed, any man with
uniform can obtain his meals any
time he appears at commissary.
Kailway People Hurtling.
Railway officials are getting together
all the engines and cars they can press
into service to handle the great crowds.
From every station the agents report
that the people are talking abont “go
ing to Atlanta to see Dewey and
Brumby.”
The estimates of the visitors to be
expected run from 40,000 up. No one
would be greatly surprised to see 100,-
000 people in the Gate City during the
two days of Dewey’s visit.
Now that it is certain that the ad
miral will visit no other city in the
south, the estimates are hardly limited
at all. As Atlanta extended the first
invitation from the south, the admiral
could not refuse, but he plans to re
turn direct to Washington.
RAIN WAS NO OBSTACLE.

MAXIMS STOPPED BOERS.
News of Heavy Fighting Near
Town of Mafeking Has
Been Confirmed.
Delayed advices from Delagoa Bay
state that a cyclist dispatch was re
ceived from Ottoshoep, near Malami,
at 8 o’clock Monday evening, asserting
that heavy fighting had been in progress
all day long north of Mafekiug. The
British troops on board an armored
train acted as a covering force to mili
tary engineers engaged in repairing
the track. The Maxims on the train
kept up a continuous fire.
Conspicuous bravery was displayed
on both sides, but it soon became ap
parent that the rifles of the burghers
were ineffective against an armored
train. The latter, however, was once
forced to retreat before a particularly
strong assault, but it soon returned,
accompanied by a British mounted
contingent, and fighting was renewed
fiercely, the Boers holding their posi
tion well. A dozen Boers were killed
or wounded, but the British casualties
could not be ascertained.
A corps of experieuced continental
engineers, former officers, has left
Pretoria for the southwestern border,
escorted by a command of picked Boer
shots. It is probably intended for
large dynamiting operations.
A big engagement is expected in the
vicinity of Ladysmith, 'the forces of
Commandant Pietvys are encamped on
a mountain overlooking Dundee, from
which point they will bo able to ob
serve the movements of the British
troops.
