Colonel Hemphill’s Keply.
Colonel William A. Hemphill, once a
gaiiant soldier of the "lost cause,” and
now business manager of The Atlanta Con
stitution, responded on behalf of the visit
ing veterans. After returning the thanks
of his old comrades for the warm welcome
extended them, Colonel Hemphill said-:
"Mr. Mayor, you have not lost any of
your old-time eloquence, or your former
warmth of welcome, both of which 1 have
enjoyed in the days gone by. I rejoice to
be hero in the, home of the Liberty bell.
The dear old bell was brought south first
In 18X5. When it reached Beauvoir an old
statenmn who was on liis last bid of sick
ness arose and went to the train. There,
in the presence of that sacred relic, he said:
'1 believe the time has eome when reason
should be substituted tor passion, and
when nu n should be able to do justice to
each other.' And .lefferson itavis, a sen of
a revolutionary soldier, bowed in reverence
to the glorious old bell.
'"I n.n ii:p w.is tin- beginning of the good
feeling that now exists between the sec
tions. Mr. Mayor, I remember a few years
ago when you brought the bell to Atlanta;
how, all along the route, multitudes flocked
to see it; old men cried over it, women ami
children kissed its sacred .sides with love
and devotion. You left it in our charge,
and how sacredly we watched and cared
for it. 1 had the honor to ba one of tte
committee to return It to tills city. AU
along the route home people gathered to
pay their respeets and honor to the Liberty
bell. You don't know, sir, how we appr< -
elated your kindness, mid Philadelphia will
always have i warm place In our hearts.
"I esteem it a great honor to be in this
grand old building, where our fathers pro

THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION: ATLANTA, GA., MONDAY. AUGUST 15, 1898.
GEN. WHEELER WRITES
AN INTERESTING LETTER
NO feature of the present war with Spain has attracted more, attention than
that of the veteran commander, General Joseph Wheeler, of Alabama.
Through his ability he has been a conspicuous figure at tho front when
ever real courage, both moral and physical, were needed. It Is a part of the
Inside history of the Santiago campaign that It was due to his efforts that the
advance was not turned Into a retreat. Therefore, anything that ho may have to
say on the subject of the campaign Is of more than ordinary value, and the fol
lowing letter received last week by the editor of The Constitution contains many
facts of interest. It Is dated July 29th, and is as follows:
Mr. Clark Howell, Atlanta, Ga.:
My Dear Friend—l am still hero wl th my command, but we h.re all sorry that
we have not been permitted to go to Porto Rico.
We feel that our service here entitles us to a place in tho Porto RJco expedi
tion.
Again we think our experience tn this campaign would make us valuable In
the Porto Rico campaign.
Yesterday I visited Morro castle. It is a very extensive fortification and very

complete mid perfect for the old style of fifty years ago. It consists of a number
of forts, all well arranged to defend. Tiie bombardment of the navy did very
little material damage to this fort.
Tho main defense which the Span lards depended upon for the harbor defense
were other forts of recent .late and style and occupied by modern guns. 1 also
visited th, four Spanish warships which were wrecked by tho navy on July 3d.
The Reina. Mercedes lies punk at tho entrance of the harbor, but not in a
position to interfere with navigation. Her deck Is above water except on ono
side, which Is Just below tho surface. Tho .Maria Teresa is by the shore Just
west of the harbor.
The Almlrmite Oquendo lies a short distance west of the Marla Teresa. These
ships, or at b ast one of tb, tn, may be saved and put in our service. The Viz
caya was run ;v hore about four mlb s to the w, st of this point. ’1 he Cristobal
Colon ran forty-two tulles w-m.vard before being overtaken and captured. Tho
Vizcaya Is <■'tnpletely burnt out mid :s only v.tl uible at so much iron. She has
two 11-inch guns about fort', f, -t long and f-v ■ :l smaller ones wnlcn appeared
to me to be s'-ryie.-1 ale. The. climate, couple,! with han. hips and exposure, has
caus' d much s'- km so in 11 , iriay. I. ver;, general except one has been quite
sick, and all staff ofii -ors h i'." h .1 an uti el; except one, a native Cuban.

COTTON IS DAMAGED
Ample Evidenca That Plant Has Suffered
Serious Injury in This Section.
CONTINUOUS RAIN THE CAUSE
Market Opened Lower and Soon After
Developed Positive Weakness,
Closing Quiet 5 Points Lower.
The recent rains have damaged cotton in
th If section.
Reports have been received from various
sections that serious damage had been
done to the growing plant, but conserva
tive parties in the cotton trade generally
discredited these reports and were of tho
opinion that they were greatly exagger
ated.
Within tho past week numerous com- j
plaints of damage by’ rot find shedding t
hove been received from sources which
cannot be questioned, and while clearing
weather can prevent Its spread, the dam
age cannot be repaired, as the rolling pro
cess extends from the smallest to the full
grown bolls.
Early cotton, especially where the lands
are low or the growth Is In any way rank,
are suffering most.
Specimens of the damaged stalks were
received yesterday from Rockdale county,
and last week from Troup county, which
fully confirm the reports of serious damage.

I New York. August 13,4—The animation of
j toay's stock market was far less than that
of last Saturday, and the not gains on tho
I day’s transactions were much less striking.
The actual signing of tho peace protocol
brought no enUhusiastic buying, but on the
other hr.**! it brought no realizing salts,
suidi as are likely to occur on the culmi
nation of an event heralded and Miscounted.
Ti.x-re was a large and steady demand
tknoughout the short session of the ex
change, which held prices quite firmly
througliibut the l.st. Active buying in a
ifew stocks was eonsßicuouH, especiallv
Northern Pacific, common, which added
another point to its price in the course of
the day. Tiie grangers were strong ami '
Union Pacific showed an adcanving ten
deney. The sou“iern railroads continued ;
somewhat depressed owing to the yellow I
fever case reported at a town In Louis- j
ia.na. Even In the absence of an eplde,in- I
jc. the precatTilonary quarantines are, likely
to interfere serious.y with railroad traffic.
Kan"' -ffil Texas preferred dropped oil’ I
a point under this influence. The mutivo I
of tine recent selling of Manhattan was
disclosed by the report of the June quar
ter showing a falling off ,n gross <.-arn=
Ings compared with last year of sl4t>.9-7l
Tne stock was lifted after early depres
sion by the detnanfi to cover. Very nota
ble adV.a tires wer.- shown by the Rubber
stocks, Tobacco and New York Air Brakes.
There w.is no evidence of heavy liquidation
for London account as a. result of tiie An
glo-Russian crisis, and those who sold
short yesterday, professing fears of such :■
result, bought to . over today. Tiie large
decrease of $6.‘,.81,150 in the surplus re
serves of i'he a-bnks was without effect.
The closing was generally firm, only a few
stocks snowing slight recessions from the
rest. The dealings in stocks this week
rose fully a mi i.on shares over those of
last. week, but are still almost a million
shares below Jihoso for the corresponding
week last year.
The par value of tho bonds sold at the
exchange during the week was, however,
fully equal to Chat of last year, and ex
ceeds $21,006,600. Business was extremely
varied in character, an denibraecd so ex
tensive a list of securities that tho move
ment of special stocks was of little effect
In deciding the course of prices. 'A eakue.-.s
at some points wase_ vvothout influ
ence at others. YY'hore tho de
mand seemed to continue unabated
there was obviously realizing going on. but
apparently the profits from sales were di
verted to other stock s of lower grade,
which had not yet moved upward. The
demand for stocks is undoubtedly based
on general conditions and the market has
been litrle affected by the special new de
velopments of . ach day.
Total sales of stoks today 173,612 shares.
