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 ■ walk. CAP JOYNER SELLS FARM TO BUTLER.

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.

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>. ■ brought to this, city even if It ’F ’ months to' get'him The rebel ant: ties have declared that lbw will tak> hi’nt to Sonora if the J6OO bribe :. .: l t tid w it It in a w eek.
