. neuvered among the hills with almost
i continuous fighting until the Red army
had forced the Browns back to the val
ley in front of the city. Tinge the men
spent the night under their blankets,
without even the protection of ''dog”
tents. They cooked their own rations,
which they carried with them in haver
sacks. The regular army officers who
1 planned the battle made the regulations
just as warlike as possible.
1 The Fifth Georgia made up tile main
1 fighting machine of the Red force, a
third of the Red army being held in
I reserve for the final attack. The Geor
-1 gia cavalry occupied a conspicuous
place in the defensive Brown army, en
gaging the Reds until the Brown in
fantry could make strategic moves,
1 Today's part of the battle was spec
• taetilar. The Fifth Georgia and First
I Florida carried off the honors. Battle
' was more strategic than otherwise and
brought out considerable headwork on
the part of officers.
Several were injured by close shots.
1 Corporal Dawson, of Pensacola, who
' was shot through the right shoulder, is
' in the hospital.
t About one-fourth of the men fell out
1 and straggled. The regulars stood the
> strain no better than the state troops.
» The officers are loud in their praise of
. the militiamen. The weather is the
I' hottest experienced at Anniston in sev
eral years, making the work of the
troops even more commendable. It
- will be noon tomorrow before all are in
1 from the hike, as some can barely

Civil Service Secretary. Who
Investigated Officeholders,
Is Removed.
I
1 Captain George S. Donnell has been
officially removed as Atlanta secretary
1 of the civil service commission, accord
ing to several prominent custom house
1 officials, .who are closely in touch w ith
the authorities in Washington.
Charges were recently preferred
against Captain Donnell by Henry S.
Jackson, collector of internal revenue
in Atlanta, and by Henry Lincoln John
son, registrar of deeds in Washington,
and one of the leading Georgia negroes
in Republican politics.
That Captain Donnell, who is a Dem
oe, at, showed discrimination in tiis in
‘ vestigation of the negro Johnson for an
’ alleged attempt to collect Republican
campaign funds from Postmaster Hugh
L. McKee, and that he was induced by
' political preferences in his investiga-
■ tion of F. S. Seals, John Martin and
’ Jackson McHenry, a negro, so: political
' activity in violation of civil service
rules, the charges made before
’ the civil service commission in Wash
ington.
i The charges against Captain Donnell
are reported to have been made in or
der to put a stop to his investigations,
- published in a weekly magazine, which
were injuring Republican office hold
ers in this state.
Captain Donne]] was completelv ex
* operated in a report that covered over
75 typewritten pages, but in the mean
time wa« assigned temporarily for duty
in the Washington office of the coni
' mission.
s It is understood that the former sec
i retaiy will be given a permanent posi
| tion in the Washington office at the
ame salary which he drew here.
t No official notice of the change had
, been received in the local civil service
office at a late hour today and nothing
i.- know n as to who w ill be m ide Cap
i tain Donnells successor. Frank A.
Doughman. head clerk in the office, has
held his position for five years and ap
pears to be the logical candidate under
civil seivice rules. He has recently
I been admitted to the practice of law in
the I'nited States emir’s and it is not
known whether he would a • • pt the p>>-
' -ition were tt tenderer! him. He is ,<
■ I Republican from Ohio and would at>-
t ’tent’y be acceptable to 1 val mem
bers of that party. ’
REBELS B. SGOO
FOR WILIE SMITH
Atlanta Fugitive Is Said To Be
Sick in Prison in the City of
Juarez, Mexico.
EL PASO, TEXAS. July 23.- Stiff, r
ing a fever, coughing violently and ap
parently in ill health, J. AVylie Smith,
the Atlanta banker and forger, is in a
bad wav in the rebel prison in .Fuarez.
There are no prospects that lie soon
will be brought back to the I’nited
States and returned to Atlanta to an
swer the indictment for wholesale
swindling.
The rebels have demanded a larg“
sum for his release and the Pinkertons
who are negotiating for his extradition
have refused to pay it.
He will have to remain in his cell,
sleeping upon the floor, until the fed
erais come.
Then, as soon as the papers arrive
from the i’nited States, he will be
turned over to the I’nited States au
thorities.
officers who have seen tile prisoner
■ in jail in Jaurez are of the .opinion that
■ he is suffering from tuberculosis.
Refuse to Pay Bribe.
It is pretty well understood that
■ Smith might be even now in Atlanta if
• the Pinkerton detectives authorized by
i the Atlanta clients of the t’ommercial
Trust Company whom he swindled had
been instructed to spend as a
bribe to the Orozco rebel garrison at
, Jaurez for his liberation. But the
American authotities have thus far de
clined to pay so great a bribe and th.
’ rebels, helpless themselves throughout
• Mexico, except in .Tamez, and .Sono: a.
are holding XVylie Smith as a last
chance of extracting money for th-it
cause and for their personal di.-si).a
tions. *
The b’ibe was demanded by the reb
els in Jaurez as soon ns the American
1 authorities learned that Smith had been
■ taken there from Chihuahua.
: There is now watching Smith a
Pinkerton detective from Houston, w. >
has orders to nab him immediately
’ upon his releas’. His communication
to the local Pinkerton agvncv does not
show that Smith i- in parti: ula ly bad
health.
At the offices of the Pinkerton aci ■.
t it was said today that Smith will i>.

SPANIARDS RIOT AND
CRY FOR REVOLUTION;
POLICE BATTLE MOB
] BARCELONA, SPAIN, July 23.
| Great unrest prevails throughout Spain
land revolutionary agents are more ac
tive than ever before. Continual anti
government demonstrations have fol
( lowed the attempt made by anarchists
' to kill the Infanta Isabel here and
these culminated today in a’ pitched
battle between the police and crowds
cheering for a. republic.
A great mass meeting was held at
which flags were unfurled and a reso
lution adopted advocating a revolution
by the end of the present year. The
. speakers finally became so turbulent
. that the police ordered the crowd to
i disperse. I’pon their refusal the police
charged them six times, beating down
i both men and women. Twenty-six ar-
I r: sts w ere made.
Though the authorities belittle these
. outbursts, they are nevertheless adopt
ing stringent measures to cope with
, any outb eak. All'regiments are being
r<-< rulted to their full war strength.
