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.

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. | Z 2 4%- Qn Savings fijj " 1 1,11 s j|lOl I THIS BANK IS I !
