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. I Kentuckians Turn Out In Force To Creet Bryan and lII# Party. William J. Bryan and his party spent Tuesday sight in Stanford, Ky., after another day of hard campaiguiug in central Kentucky.

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.
