THE MORNING CALL. <» Vol X. No. 12. 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 er- . 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 Ahem. Only 50c per bottle at J. N.

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.

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.
