'■ 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 ” Confederate Veterans.. It is desired that every veteran who intends to go with Spalding County Camp to tbe Reunion at Atlanta on tbe 20th, will furnish bis name to the following committee by tbe 16th : T. W. Thurman, T. P. McDowell, A. W. Blake, I Wm. R. Hanleitu, I Commander. | 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-.
