Big 2-Days Sham Battle Nears End
GEORGIA TROOPS IN LEAD
ANNISTON ala.. July 23. The
battle of Blue Mountain that has been 1
waging since yesterday morning
reached the decisive stage tills after
noon and before nightfall it will have
been determined whether the Red or

the big feature of the ten days’ ma
neuvers, participated in by the Fifth

Georgia cavalry. Third and Fourth
battalions Georgia infantry and South
Carolina, Florida and Alabama regi

Georgia cavalry, is defending the city
of Anniston.
The battle started shortly after sun
rise yesterday and continued through
the day. At nightfall the two armies
bivouacked on the battlefield, less than
two miles apart. Early this morning
the attack was resumed by the Red
army, gradually forcing the Brown
I army back from the open country to
I the imaginary fortifications of the city,
I where the final test of strength and of
military prowess takes place.

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. TUESDAY, JULY 23, 1912.
Delivered among the hills with almost
continuous fighting until the Red army
had forced the Browns back to the val
ley in front of the city. There the men
spent the night under their blankets,
without even the protection of "dog ’
tents. The.y cooked their own rations,
which they carried with them in haver
sacks. The regular army officers who
planned the battle made the regulations
just as warlike as possible.
The Fifth Georgia made up the main
fighting machine of the Red force, a
third of the Red army being held in
reserve for the Anal attack. The Geor
gia cavalry occupied a conspicuous
place In tlie defensive Brown army, en
gaging the Reds until the Brown in
fantry could make strategic moves.
Today's part of the battle was spec
tacular. The Fifth Georgia and First
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.
Corporal Dawson, of Pensacola, who
was shot through the right shoulder, is
in the hospital.
About one-tourth of the men fell out
and straggled. The regulars stood the
strain no better than the state troops.
Tlie officers are loud in their praise of
the militiamen. The weather is the
hottest experienced at Anniston in sev.
eral years, making the work of the
troops even more commendable. It
will lie noon tomorrow before all arc in
from the hike, us some can barely
walk.

DONNELLOUSTED
FOR HIS ACTIVITY
Civil Service Secretary, Who
Investigated Officeholders,
Is Removed.
Captain George S. Donnell has been
officially removed as Atlanta secretary
of the civil service commission, accord
ing to several prominent custom house
officials, who are closely in touch with
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
ocrat, .showed discrimination in his in
vestigation of tlie negro Johnson for an
alleged attempt to collect Republican
campaign funds from Postmaster Hugh
L, McKee, and that he was induced by
political preferences tn his investiga
tion of IT. S. Seals. John Martin and
Jackson McHenry, a negro, for political
activity in violation of civil service
rules, were the charges made before
the civil service commission in Wash
ington.
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
wete Injuring Republican office hold
ers in tills state.
Captain Donnell was completelv ex
onerated in a report that covered over
75 typewritten pages, but in the mean
time was assigned temporarily for duty
in tlie Washington office of tlie com
mission.
It is understood tiiat tlie former se« -
| retaiy will be given a permanent posi
tion in the Washington office at the
same salary which he drew here.
No official notice of the change had
been received in the local civil service
office at a late hour today and nothing
is known as to who will be made Cap
tain Donnell's 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 sei vice rules. He has recently
been admitted to the practice of law in
the United States courts and it is not
known whether he would accept the po
sition were it tends: ed him. He is a
Republican from Ohio and would ap
parently be acceptable to local mem
bers of that party.
REBELS ASK SOOD
TOR WYUE SMITH
Atlanta Fugitive Is Said To Be
Sick in Prison in the City of
Juarez, Mexico.
EL PASO, TEXAS. July 23.—Suffer
ing a fever, coughing violently and ap
parently in ill health. J. Wylie Smith,
the Atlanta banker and forger, is in a
bad way in the rebel prison in Juarez.
There are no prospects that he soon
will be brought back to the United
States and returned to Atlanta to an
swer the indictment for wholesale
swindling.
The rebels have demanded a large
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
erals come.
Then, as soon as the papers arrive
from the United States, he will be
turned over to the United States au
thorities.
Officers who have seen the 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
the Atlanta clients of the Commercial
Trust Company whom he swindled had
been instructed to spend $(100 as a
bribe to the Orozco rebel garrison at
Jaurez for his liberation. But the
American authorities have thus far de
clined to pay so great a bribe and the
rebels, helpless themselves throughout
Mexico, except in Jaurez and Sonora,
are holding Wylie Smith as a last
chance of extracting money for their
cause and for their personal dissipa
tions.
The biibe was demanded by the reb
els in Jaurez as soon as the American
authorities learned that Smith had been
taken there from Chihuahua.
There is now watching Smith a
Pinkerton detective from Houston, who
has orders to nub him immediately
upon his release. His communication
to the local Pinkerton agency does not
show that Smith is in partleulai ly bad
health.
At the offices of the Pinkerton agency
it was said today that Smith will be
brought to this city, even if it takes
months to get him. The rebel auth li
lies have declared that they will take
him to Sonora, if the S6OO bribe isn't
paid within a week.
SPANIARDS RIOT AND
CRY FOR REVOLUTION;
POLICE BATTLE MOB
BARCELONA, SPAIN, July 23.
Great unrest prevails throughout Spain
and 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
disperse. Upon their refusal the nolice
charged them six times, beating down
both men and women. Twenty-six ar
rests were made.
Though the authorities belittle these
outbursts, they are nevertheless adopt
ing stringent measures to cope with
any outbreak. All regiments are being
recruited to their full war strength.
HOUSE BILL PROVIDES
NEGROES’ SOIL SCHOOL
Mr. McElreath, of Fulton, introduced
in the house today a bill to establish
an agricultural college for negro youths
of the state, to be a branch of the
University of Georgia.
The money for the maintenance of
this school is to come from oil and fer
tilizer funds, after the district agricul
tural schools have been provided for.
