Official Paper of tin Ordiuwy
of Spalding coonty and the City
of Griffin.
Fifty eight American officers were
killed or wounded in the battle of
'
The Naw Yore Mail and Expraaa
uys: "Cerrera’s fearless sortie was
incomparably the most snporb exbibi
tion of Spanish heroism which the
present war has witnessed.”
The people of Chattanooga thought
their town was a suburb of Santiago
od the night of the Fourth of Joly.
Ton thousand soldiers who had just
bK|| been paid off were in the city,
r* t-x. w York Journal has now had
three correspondents and an artist
wounded at the front in Cuba. It is
now incumbent upon the World to
have four of its correspondents killed.
It cannot afford to be beaten by its
rival, f
Tbo Temps, the most serious of the
French newspapers says: “The cap*
taro of Santiago de Cuba io irrepsr*
able for the Spaniards.” The paper
concludes its article by saying: “Spain
has not an hour to lose to negotiate
for peace.” ' .<
'
A new commander has been named
for Fort McPherson which is now the
most Important army post io the Uni*
ted States. Lieut. Col. Richard Com*
* ba io the officer who has been selected
to succeed Col. Henry 0. Cook, who
was retired a few days ago for physical
disability.
Sampson’s absence at the beginning
of the engagement was in the line of
bio duty io co operation with General
Shafter, and speaks well for the Amer
icon navy that in any emergency, no
matter who may be in command, its
fleets are equal to every sudden call of
doty.—Washington Star.
The increased expenses of the gov
ernment io consequence of the war
have produced no effect in diminish
ing the expense of our pension system.
The number of civil war pensioners is
still on the increase after a lapse of
•ver 30 years since the close of the
war and more private pensions have
been passed during the present session
of congress than in any former session.
How small the world has grown
since the beginning of the war, says
the Savannah Sews. Before the
breaking out of hostilities we thought
of Cuba as a far away country, Porto
Rico as almost an unknown land, and
the Philippines as just a little on this
side of the moon. Now we discourse
with as much readiness and confi
dence about San Juan, Manila, and
Hong Kong, as we do about Otnana
and Denver.
Editor Gonsales, of the Columbia
(S. C.) State, himself a Cuban is fair
enough to make this statement: "We
•re willing to be|ieve a good deal about
the barbaious methods of the Spanish ;
but we are not ready to swallow with
out reserve the story that they wan
tonly fired on the wounded. They
may have done so, for in a fierce bat*
tie like that at Santiago it is - not al
ways easy to distinguish objects on
tbe spur of the moment or to tell a
wagon load of wounded from some
thing else. This is probably tbe ex
planation if tbo event occurred ”

It is desired that every veteran who

Sagasta Stubborn
Saga-la, Spain', prime minister, fa
quoted as saying that the war will go
on, even though all tbe Spanish aol
diers in Santiego-are taken prisoners.
He ssys Ibero are 100,000 Spanish sol
diers io Cuba, disciplined and season
ed, and that they are capable of bold
ing tbs island for a long time.
Such talk from Sagaata is not unex
peated. He would hardly dare express
his real sentiments if be favored tak
ing steps at once in favor of peace. He
doesn’t know yet what tbe feelings of
tbe people are in respect to the matter.
He will know, however, as soon as tbe
Spanish people become aware of tbe
fact that all of the ships of Admiral
Cervera’a squadron have been destroy
ed It is not improbable that when
they learn the truth there will be dem
castrations against tbe government
which may develop into a revolution.
In that event it is probable that Ba
gasla would hasten to bring tbe war
to a close by every means al bls com
mand.
In tbe European dispatches the im
pression is thrown out that it is 8»-
gasta’s purpose to bend all bis energies
to the saving of tbe present dynasty,
and It la said that the Conseivative
leaders will aasist bim io carrying out
that policy. The Conservatives appear
to be determined 16 stand together in
opposition to the Carlisle aud Repub
licans
The feeling against the Queen Re
gent, and even against the youth
ful king, is said to be quite strong in
parts of Spain, and to be growing
stronger.
Events of great importance are like
ly to follow each other rapidly in Spain
daring tbe next few days. No one,
not even Spain’s wisest statesmen, can
predict with any degree of certainty
what course the government will pur
sue when Santiago is surrendered. In
fact, tbe Sagasta ministry may resign
before tbo Spanish flag in that city is
hauled down —B*vannah_New-.
