At 4:30 o’clock yesterday afternoon
I•; there was a heavy order march, The
[ men were drilled and inspected in
i their marching order, carrying their
f guns, clothing, blankets, haversacks,
etc.
This was a very pretty spectacle,one
never witnessed at any previous en
campment. After this march the
companies returned to their streeta
and prepared for dress parade which
took place at 6:30. This was the first
dress parade of the encampment and
was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
Guard mount will be bad this morn
ing as usual, although the guards will
be discharged before the troops leave.
Coring a Shirker.
An old civil war veteran tells a good
story ot how a lazy private in his regi
ment was cured of shirking, says the
Philadelphia Times. It appears that
the fellow was utterly no good. lie
bad been drafted into service, and
thereafter devoted hie whole time and
aiumtiuo tv getting out of it. Ha
spent more than half of his time in
the hospital tent. He ran the gamut
of all the diseases that flesh is heir to
or has acquired through its own mis
guided efforts. Somehow, even the
severity of military discipline was in
adequate to his case; shirk be could
and would.
One day the regiment was ordered
to battle. There was to be a long,
hard march, and a fierce conflict at
the end of it. When the orders came
the shirker himself collapsed. He
was taken loan ambulance, where he
lay apparbsUjPin a comatose condi
tion, bearing nothing, heeding noth'
iog. The surgeon, a new officer just
appointed on the staff, was sent for to
see him The physician chanced to
be a keen-witted man, and, after tak
ing in the situation, he bandaged the
fellows eyes, motioned to a private to
take bis feet, while be himself took
the bead, and without more adore
dumped the comatose shirker head
foremost into the river. As it was the
dead of winter, with ice blocks clog*,
ging the water, a more violent remedy
could not be imagined, and the way
the fellow twain to shore Was a cau
tion. From that day forth he was
never known to try his game of shirk
again.
Yellow Jaundice Cured.
Suffering humanity should be sup
plied with every means possible for
its relief. It is with pleasure we pub
lish the following : “This is to certify
that I was a terrible sufferer from yel
low jaundice for over six months, and
was treated by some of the beat phy
sicians in our city and all to no avail.
Dr. Bell, our druggist, recommended
Electric Bitters; and after taking two
bottles, I was entirely cured. I now
take great pleasure in recommending
them to any person suffering from
this terrible malady. lam gratefully
yours, M A. Hogarty, Lexington,Ky.”

SPANISH SOLDIERS DESERT
AH EID TO PBOBFECT OF A
PEACEFUL SETTLEMENT.
Another Land Battle in Which the
American* Are Victorious-No »
New Cases of Yellow Fever-
WABHISGTON, June M-WThe ma
rine* stationed nif the coast of Guan
tanamo bay made their Ires »gs res
aive movement ag-inet the Spanish
guerrillas last Tuesday. The marines
were under Captain Elliott and had
the co operation of a large number of
Cubans, under Colonel Lwborda.
These Ibrcek made an attack upon a
Spanish camp abodt five mile from
the American position, and killed
about forty Spaniards and destroyed
the onl? welkin the vicieily. Two
Cubans were killed, fonr wounded and
one American was slightly wounded.
The filing of tho Cuban warriors
was mild throughout the whole en
gagement, but they were apparently
without fear and showed the utmost
contempt tor Spanish bullets.
It Was a great victory for the little
squad ofrmarines and put the com
mand in high spirits.
Advices from the headquarters of
the Cuban civil government at La
Guadaja, in Camaguey, report that
not less than 5,000 Spanish volun
teers and many regulars from Puerto
Principe and Nuevitas garrisons have
deserted to the patriot army. The im
mediate cause of desertion was the
fear of the American fleet.
A dispatch from Manila says:
"The fighting continues incessantly.
There are skirmishes at intervals day
and night and lack of provisions has
compelled the Spaniards to yield at
certain points Both ammunition
and food are most scarce. Neverthe
less, the Spaniards are animated by
the best spirit and are fighting heroic
ally. The wounded who are crowding
into the churches and convents, have
been placed under the protection of
she Red Cross society. w
Official dispatches to the Marine
hospital service show there bave been
no tresb developments io the yellow
fever situation in the seutb.
They announce the opening of Camp
Fontainebleau, the detention point,
just out of McHenry, Bliss , and that
there are now 21 suspects from Mc-
Henry in camp.
A leading member of the diplomatic
corps said today that the departure of
Gen. Shafter’s first army of invasion
to Cuba put an end to all present
prospects of peace.
While none of the foreign represent*
stives hire has ever made peace over
tures United Stales government,
yet a peaceful solution has always
seemed to the diplomatic fraternity as
within the bounds of possibility, even
probability, so long as the troops re
mained at Tampa and Key West.
Now, however, with 15,000 Ameri
can soldiers about to take a position
on Spanish soil, it is said that the con
ditions opportune for peace have un
dergone a material change, as it com
mits the United States to an aggres
sive land campaign, and also makes it
impossible for Spain to adopt any
other course than that of defending
her soil against invasion.

HIGHWAY ROBBERS. 0
They Hold Up Several Hack Driven |
Last Night.
Dick Ball, one of the negroes run
ning a back between this city and
Camp Nnrthen, reported to the police
last night that he had been held up
about 8 :30 o'clock and robbed of sev
eral dollars
Ball says he was on hie way tdesnip
and as he reached ths brow of the hill
thia aide of the grounds a man wear
ing the uniform of a soldier, with hie
campaign hat pulled over hie eye*,
stepped out from the shadows and
commanded him to halt.
Ball slopped his team and asked the
man if he wished to go to tho city,
The highwayman then drew bis pistol
and pointing it at the negro, com
manded him to deliver up all the
money be bad. The command was
accompanied by a fearful oath, and
the negro being unarmed, was forced
to obey.
He had presence of mind, however,
te outwit the ; robber, as he.
told him be : barf turned over
to his employer all he had but souie
small change, which be handed over.
By resorting to this ruse, he saved
several dollars which he had in anoth
er pocket.
In a short time other back drivers
reported similar experiences to the
police, and some of them stated there
were two or three parties at different
places along the road, who attempted
to bold them up.
It created consternation in the ranks
of the hack drivers and they positively
refused Io carry any one to camps and
put up their teams, thus forcing all
the soldiers wbo bad come to the city
to walk back.
The matter was reported to Col.
Lawton, who detailed a squad to in
vestigate the matter, but at a late boor
they bad made no arrests.
He Will Accept-
Mr. H. N SlaruM, who waa rsceully.
elected professor of agriculture in the
University of Georgia, was asked by a
Call reporter yesterday if be would
accept the chair offered him.
Mr. Starnes replied that while bo
had received ne official notice from
the board of trustees regarding the
matter, be had been informed by a
friend on the board of their action,and
after careful consideration bad decid»
ed to accept the profeasorsMp.
Mr. Starnes was unable to state
when be would assume tbo lesposi
bilities of that important branch of
the university, but expressed the opin
ion that be would take charge at tho
openiug of the fall term.
Mr. Starnes has for fife years past
been the efficient horticulturist ot the
Georgia Experiment Station and bis
removal to Athens will necessitate the
election of bis successor at the next
meeting of the board of directors,
which occurs the first week in July.
Mr. Starnes has rendered valuable
service to the farmers of Georgia since
his election as horticulturist, but his
field of usefulness will be greatly en
larged as professor of agriculture at
the university.
AU of Griffin will regret to loss this
cultured and Christian family and will
consider Atben’e gain as our loss.

Campbell’* Joke.
The bright ffiSt'of Campbell, the poet,
has no especial Scottish characteristic, but
Having been perpetrated by a renowned
Scotsman it is worth reproducing here.
Campbell, it may be remembered, is the
author of “Hohenlinden,” which begins:
On Linden, when the sun was low,
AU bloodies* Uy the untrodden snow,
And dark as winter w«j the flow
Os Inter rolling rapidlr.
The poet attended an evening party on
one occasion, and when the gentlemen were
securing their hats and coats previous to
departure suddenly the lights went out.
Tn the confusion which followed aome'oqe
puehqd vigorously against Campbell,
knocking him down stairs. The oilending
gentleman at once said, “Beg pardon,
who’s ttareJ” and a voice replied from the
deplffbelow, “It is I, sir, rolling rapidly.”

Ntm.i of Oar Warships.
A change ip tho system in naming our
idps of war would seem to be advisable,
✓> far as certain features arc concerned.
The policy of naming'a class of ships after
the states of the Union ondtaniAher class
after important or historical cities and
towns is admirable. Still another class
bears the names of our great naval heroes.
This also is as it should be, so far as the
games are regarded, but it seems entirely
inappropriate that those nanjes should be
borne by tho class to which they are a*-
sfgnod. In the British navy the names of
the great commanders are given to the
greatest and finest of the ships, and the
example should be followed by us. Those
names would thus be carried into all parte
of tho world and made familiar to all peo
ple.
But it seems almost as Inappropriate to
(five such names as Fakragut, Porter,
Someq: and tho like to a lot of torpedo
boats—craft without dignity or magnitude
—as it would be to assign those names to
steam launches, tugboats or vessels of the
mosquito fleet. The practice of naming
the torpedo boats after this fashion is said
to be thoroughly distasteful to the officers
of the.navy. There is a certain appropri
ateness in giving the name of Cushing to
such a craft, for It was the daring act of
blowing up the Confederate ram Albe
marle by a torpedo boat extemporized from
a launch that gave Cushing his fame. The
name of Ericsson, too, is appropriately as
sociated with a peculiarly modern ana de
structive engine of vwv, bat it would be
betten Io tho great* Swede,
to Whom' wo are all deeply indebted, by
giving his name to one r cf the best of the
monitors in honor of his invention of the
type.—Boston Herald.

was antedated nearly a month and a half
by New York’s battle of Golden Hill,

* all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
