THE MORNING CALL. —L ■ ’ < VoL IX. No. 254. J SANTIAGO REINFORCED I 20,000 Spanish Troops Have Joined ■ General Linares. I Washington, June 29.—Startling in- I formation has been received from the pa- I citicos who left Santiago and joined Gen. I Ehafter’s army to save themselves from starvation. I. I They say that since the Americans be. I gan their advance toward Santiago, nearly 20 000 Spanish soldiers have arrived in ' that city. They report a distressing state I of affairs and say that the Spanish soldiers on abort rations and all supplies are ■ bring held for tydr use. ; i There are two forts of considerable im- I portance within the Spanish lines-Punte | Blanco at the southern end oi the bay and Santa Ursula at the corner. I On the road to Carney;g.iy fae north, is another port. There are about 4,500 men | *’WteCh of these sfretch | ing around the whole city "hre nine barbed I wire fences, 50 yards apart, wjjile just in side these are lines of rifle pitK- Outside to the east ward,about two miles beyond the American outpoete, is a line of entrenchments, extending from the nor th . ern extremity of the city to Morro castle. A little west of south, at a distance of about seven miles irom Gen. Lawton’s headquarters, lies Morro castle. The road to within a few hundred yards of the batteries of Morro was reconnoiter ed Sunday afternoon by Gen. Chaffee and several members of his staff. The Cubans believe Santiago would yield at once if the Americans could cut off the water supply of the city. They say that Admiral Cervera’s entire fleet is in the harbor, the torpedo boat destroyer Terror. General Lawton does not believe that the guns have been taken from the ships to strengthen the land defenses, and be says it is impossible for Cervera to reach the American army with his guns from where the Spanish ships lie. The officers are surprised that they have met no further resistance in their advance, as the ground over which they have traveled could have been easily defended. Democratic Convention.

Washington, June 29.—The speedy steamer Newport, bearing Major General Wesley Merritt, military governor of the Philippines, and his staff, besides the light batteries and companies H and K of the Third Uplted States artillery and detach ments from the signal corps, is now on its way to Manila, o ■■ As the Vessel gradually drew away from her moor at Ban Francisco today, the the blowing of piaay whistles told the people tbat Gen. Merritt had taken his de partrue. crowds bad {gathered to wltness lh'e departure of the vessel, and mafiy fashionable equipages' on the deck told of th® pteMMe of the ”400” who had come to bid tfrewell to friwute in the As tor battery. The Newport will make an effort to oyertajre the third fleet of transports,which sailed 04. Monday after the fleet reaches Honolulu,.where the vessels will coal and take on fresh supplies before proceeding, ■to ‘ ‘ « Gen. Merritt is very anxious to avoid an encounter with any vessel of the Span ish navy and Will issue orders 10 the fleet at Honolulu to make all possible speed, ft is probable thatthe Newport will not wait for the other the fleet at Hono lulu, but will proofed with as little delay as possible tp Manila. The, Spaniards at Manila say they are determined to fight to-She death, and there is every reason to believe that when the American troops arrive there will be terri ble fighting on land and sea. It is supposed at Manila that the Ger man warship will prevent the bombard ment of that place, and it is alleged that Prince Henry of Prussia is on his way there on board a warship. The Spaniards are said to be actively pushing preparations for the defense of the city., A „ i . > ■ j The Mauser Bullet. The wounds sustained by marines at hay were terrible in effect and appeaYance, says an ex change. In tbe'vbry first accounts of the skirmishes there it was noted that the dead were terribly mangled. This was due to oi the rullet at short range. The wounds were saucerlike affaire, and at first it was thought that the Spaniards had used “soft” cartridges, 1 which “set up” or spread like a mush* room upon impact, but the fact that the Mauser rifle was the regulation small arm of the Spanish infantry led ' to an examination of the kind of dam- 1 age it does. Al short range the Mauser bullet, 1 because of its wonderfully rapid twist, ’ tears a large hole. At a greater dis* fance its gyrations grow fewer, its flight is steadier, and it makes slitting « wound like a saber thrust. At the ; greatest effective range the Mauser j bores like an auger, leaving only a 1 small incised wound and completely 1 penetrating bone, sinew, tendom, or 1 fleshed opposed to it. The Unified States adopted the Krag Jorgensen of 1892, about the time the Spaniards concluded to arm their men with the Mauser. Both are high power magazine rifles of the “cut off ’ type, central fire cartridges, and nearly the same weight Each carries five cartridges. The Mauser is 27 caliber, the Krag Jorgensen 30 The Mauser bullet weighs 173 grains, the Krag Jorgensen 220 grains The Mauser is ejected by only 30 graine of powder, while the Krag Jorgensen takes 37 ; but the Spanish projectile is propelled by smokeless powder, which gives an initial velocity of 2,280 feet per second, while ours goes from 200 to 270 feet slower. The highest pressure smokeless powder us°d by the Spanish is equal to 21 tons to the squ ire inch. More over, the rifling of the Mauser gun barrel is such that the bu let has more twist when it leaves the tube. Hence the big lacerated, saucerlike wounds. When the bullet leaves the rifle it pierces the air or any object less im pregnable than armor plate with a horizontal spiral motion At the same time it proceeds in minute undula tions Bucklen’s Arnica Salve- THE BEST SALVE in the world for Cuts, Bruises, Sores, Ulcers, Salt Rheum Fever Sores, Tetter, Chapped Hands, Chilblains, Corns, and all Skin Eruptions, and positively cures Piles, or no pay re quired.

The first battle of any* consequence I in Cuba has furnished a valuable oh* ject lesson for our troops.

Old army men all agree that tbr soldier who, without displaying tint idiiy, takes the fewest chances i’r bat-* tie is, for obvious reason®, worth tw« or three of the foolhardy fellows whri. rush in where such rrcklessness is not’ necessary. It is well for our volunteef soldiers to learn this lessen before they have need for it. It in not cowardice to protect one seif in battle as far as practicable. The soldier who shields himself behind a tree, whenever the opportunity is itimately presented, while all tbatirrta pumping lead into the enemy, wi,ll accomplish more than a dozen dare devils who stand up and offer the<n«. selves as a target, to be shot down and rendered useless. Accounts of the recent bloody battle naar Santiago indicate that the Rough Riders were simply too eager far a fight, and therefore, rushed in where, seasoned troops displayed more cau tion. It is not to the credit of the former that they acted hastily or even reck- 1 teuly, evan though they showed great bravery under fire. The regulars were perhaps, no less brave, and yet more of them are left to fight future battles for their country. Our volunteers should not mistake foolhardness for bravery, nor cautious ness for cowardice. The best soldiers in the world take the fewest chances . under ordinary circumstances, but neither ask nor give quarter when it must be a fight to the finish.—Macon News.

Sunday a man from Auburn who had heard of them came over and bought one for 810.
