SPANIARDS EVACUATE
AMERICAN FLAG BEING HOISTED
IN PORTO RICO
Tran*port* Enroute From Spain to
Take AH the Troops Horne-Beit
• of Feelinc Arnone the Men.
San Juan, P. R, Sept. 20—The
evacuation of the outlying poeitiona
occupied by the Spaniard* began yes
terday. Aguadilla, San Sebastian and
Larea were abandoned by them and
the troop* of General Garretson’s bri
gade and the Eleventh infantry moved
in today and hoisted the-* American
Oflag. The Spanish troops from the
abandoned positions are being concen
trated at Arecibo, from whence they
will reach San Juan by railroad as
soon as transportation is available.
They could not enter the city before,
owing to its crowded condition.
• Wednesday the Spaniards-will evac
uate the island of Viques, where a
company of American troops, from
General Grant’s brigade, have been
landed. The Spanish troops from the
, Island of Viequeq will remain at Hu
macao until the Spaniards fall on the
line of the military road. Spanish
control is now confined to within a
line drawn from Humacao to Abonito,
and from there to Arecibo, less than
one-third of the island.
The Spanish commissioners at the
meeting of the Spanish and American
commissioner* today officially inform
ed the Americans that they had been
notified of the sailing from Spain of
two transports intended to embark
troops here, and also that 400 Spanish
soldiers will sail from here today on a
■* transport expected from Cuba.
The departing troops consist of 200
sick men and 200 members of the en
gineers’ regiment. The meeting of
the commissioners was entirely with
out friction, and it was owing to the
good feeling prevailing between oor
soldiers and those of Spain that it was
decided to allow the company of
, Americans to land at the island of
Vieques before the Spaniards left.
It was decided today, in the interest
of the order of the island, to allow
Americans to enter the Spanish lines
and vice versa in pursuit of maraud

Bobbed the Grave.
A startling incident, of which Mr.
John Oliver, of Philadelphia, was the
subject, is narrated by him as follows:
“I was in a most dreadful condition.
My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunk-'
en, tongue coated, pain continually in
back and sides, no'appetite—gradually
growing weaker day by day. Three
physicians had given me up. Fortu
nately, a friend advised trying ‘Elec
tric Bitters;’ and to my great joy and
surprise, the first bottle made a decid
ed improvement. I continued their
use for three weeks, and am now a
well man. I know they saved my life,
and robbed the grave of anotbe;
victim.” No one should fail to try

GOING BACK TO CUBA
The Army of Occupation to Start
About October 15th.
New Yoke, Sept. 20.—Unless the
present plan is suddenly changed, the
American army of occupation will sail
for Cuba about Oct. 15th This state
ment is made upon the authority of
an army officer well informed of the
plan* of the war department Accord*
ing to this officer, the army will iw~-
clude two corps, and possibly three,
or from 60,000 to 90,000 officers and
men. The troops will land, for the
most part, at Havana and from there
bk distributed through the island.
According to this officer, the Bev
enlh corps, now stationed at Jackson
ville under Major General Fitzhugh
Lye,, will form a part of the force to be
sent to Cuba, to be followed, possibly
by the Second corps, now Camp
Meade under command of MajoAGen*
er»i William M. Graham, “Light|Bat
tery Bifly,” as he is known io the ar
my. These corps are largely made up
of volunteers, and according to the
present plan, it was said, it is not the
intention to send volunteers to Cuba
who do not wish to go. By the time
the movement is ordered, there will
be plenty of gegolare in conditions to
take the places of any volunteer or
ganization which does not care to
spend the winter or longer in Cuba.
The place or places of rendezvous of
the army of occupation, it was said,
are bothering both the president and
the war department. It has not yet
been decided, it was slated, to put the
troops to be sent to Cuba in southern
camps. From the fact that some of
the troops now at Montauk have been
ordered to Huntsville and Anniston, it
has been taken fdr granted that the
regulars were to he sent from those
two places. The officer already men
tioned told a reporter this afternoon
that the president is not so much in
favor of putting any great number of
troops in camp as far south as Hunts
ville or Anniston. He is more in
clined to hive some such place as
Camp Meade, if the troops are to be
put in camp al all. The president is,
however, inclined to agree with Gen.
Miles that the places for all the regu
lars now at Camp Wikoff are the sec
tions whence they came when ordered
to Tampa at the beginning of the war.
At these stations, with barracks to
sleep in, good water to drink, and
more of the appointments of home
life for the men, the president be
lieves the regulars would rapidly re
gain health and get into shape for
further service in Cuba. The president
would not send troops which are likely
to be needed in Cuba to stations west
of the Mississippi.

9RIFFIN, BEOR9IA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 21, 1888,
The Color Liao la the Army.
The color line has shown itself in
the army eeve'al limes since th* war
with Spain began. It was noticeable at
Tampa, where thsre was considerable
friction between the shopkeepers and
the colored soldiers of the Ninth and
Tenth Cavalry. There was a small
riot as the result of this ill feeling,
Several volunteer regiments composed
of negroes have been organised in
different parts of the country and have
encamped near white regiments. Th*
white troops refused to salute the ne
gro officers of the colored regiments
when they met them. That also was
the cause of friction.
What caused the war department
more trouble than anything else, how
ever, in connection with the negro
troops was the refusal of the men of
the Second Texas Regiment to receive
tbeir pay from Paymaster John R.
Lynch. That regiment is in Gen. Lee’s
command at Jacksonville. Paymaster
Lynch referred the matter to Gen. Lee
who advised that some way be found
to tide over the trouble- He under
stood the prejudice which existed
among the Texans and be felt, proba
bly, that a bad feeling might be crea
ted in the corps if he adopted meas
ures that would bring the color ques
tion to the front.
The matter was referred to the war
department and the regiment allowed
to wait for its pay. But would it not
have been better for all parties con
cerned if the wsr department bad
used a little judgment in assigning
the colored paymasters to duly? There
isn’t an officer in the war department
who doesn’t know of the race preju*>
dice iu the South. Why, then, were
not the negro paymasters assigned to
Northern regiments instead of South
ern? Was it becase of lack of judg
ment, or was it the intention to run
counter to this prejudice? It is bard
to believe that any army officer is so
lacking in good sense as to pursue a
course in army matters calculated to
eause trouble when trouble can be
avoided. We must conclude there
fore that the negro paymasters were
sent to pay off Southern regiments
"through a lack of foresight. There
are very few negro paymasters and it
would have been an easy matter to
have kept them engaged With Norths
ern regiments. If that course bad
been pursued the negro paymasters
would have been saved humiliation
and the Texas soldiers would have
received their pay on time. Not only
that, but the color question would not
have been forced so prominently to
the front.—-Savanuah News.
