SHARPSHOOTERS
In Spanish Army Picknd off
Otlr Officers.
CHARGE BY AMERICANS
Was Brilliant And Will Live In
History.
Tampa, Fla., July 9.—Capt
Kerr, company K, United States
Cavalry ; Dr. Harvey and four
other wounded officers, who
were participants in the battle
before Santiago last Friday have
arrived in Tampa.
They tell many thrilling
stories about the engagement
Dr. Harvey first spoke of the
vexatious delay in unloading the
transports. He said that it was
impossible to get the seige guns
in time to use them in the battle.
When the fight began Friday
the artillery had not been un
loaded, and the men were com
pelled to charge the enemy in
the trenches without having
first shelled them. The Spaniards
fought like tigers, from cover,
while the American forces were
in the open at the mercy of the
Spanish bullets.
Sharpshooters on the Spanish
side were in trees half a mile
away. They picked but every
American who wore a sword or
had stripes on his trousers, and
were killing officers at an appall
ing rate. The officers soon noticed
this and dropped their swords
and began shooting with guns
left by comrades that had been
killed. It was this that caused so
many officers to be killed and
wounded.
The Spaniards had everv ad
vantage, and they should hav
d<>ne more damage than was
re«lly accomplished.
The stren th of the Spaniards
his been underestimated, as
have their fighting qualities.
The American soldiers have been
doing the greatest fighting in
any army in the world, but they
are experiencing many draw
backs, and the heat and priva
tions are telling on them, but
they never flinch when marching
square into the face of fire and
death.
The doctor said there is no
yellow fever in the army. He
said that the Cubans have aided
die Americans as guides. There
is a great and distressing need
forsurgeons and nurses ia Shaf
fer’s corps. At one time he had
100 wounded men lying in a row
w »itiiig to be attended.

To the Mayor and Citizens of
Rome, Ga. Sirs : —The Reunion
of Confederate Veterans will be
held in this city July 20—23
next. They will be the guests of
our state. It is desired to give
them royal welcome. To do this,
we want your cordial and gener
ous assistance.
'l'he Reunion of 1896 was
held in Richmond, Va , and the
great people of the “Old Domin
ion” united in according the
Veterans loving welcome.
No less grand was the sponta
neous entertainment given them
bp the loyal-hearted Tennessee
ans in Nashville in 1897.
Georgia must not, anl with
your ajd shall not be excelled in
this regard, by either of these
great states.
The Cons derate Veterans As
sociation of Nashville called on
the people of Tennessee for sup
plies with which *o feed the
many worthy Veterans who
could not afford hotel expense®.
That call was responded to with
lavish profusion.
In like manner do we call on
the people of Geergih, and all
who cherish the memories of the
“Lost Cause,” and who honor
the survivors oi that cause, t<
show their appreciation by liber
al contributions of provisions
and supplies, or money. Money
is more desirable, as provisions
can be procured hera, and save
express and freight. Every dol
lar will be applied solely for the
use of the commissaries.
The General Commanding the
Georgia Division U, C. V. has
appointed Assistant Commissa
ry Generals in every county in
Georgia, who will secure and
forward such supplies as can be
obtained.
I now appeal to our city sisters
to aid usia money contributions
to assist in providing for all
old needy Veterans.
Respectfully,
Amos Fox.

SPANISH HONOR
Demands That Army Must
Redeem Tilt Navy. •
U.S. FLEET EXPECTED
J
And H«ayy ArtiHey Being Plac
ed on Th* Spanish Coast.
Madrid, July B.—The cabinet
council tins evening considered
the question of new cable* and
military measures necessary in
view of an American attack up
on Spanish ports.
All rumors ss to peacs nego
tiations are semi officially de
clared to be unfounded.
The ministers are divided in
their opinions as to the advisa
bility of immediate negotiations
for peace. The war party is in
dited to adopt the view of Mar
shall Martinez Campos, who
considers that the army must
by a noblj victory wipe out the
defeat of the navy.
The peace party urges direct
negotiations with the United
States rather than through pow
ers whose selfishness has allowed
Spain to be crushed by a strong
enemy and who may now in
trigue for harder conditions, de
siring to profit by her dismem
berment.
A belief is ourre it that ths
United Sts'as warships New
York, Oregon and Texas are
now on their way to Spain, and
precautions are being tak n at
all the seaports to avoid a sur
prise.
There is no cessation in the
work ot strengthening the coast
defenses. Evon the heavy aral
lery at the formidable French
frontier forts has been with
drawn and sent to the seaports.
A long artillery train left Jaca
a few days ago for Barcelona,
where four additional thirty
centimetre guns had already
been placed. Twenty long range
modern guus will be sent to Bil
boa. In fact all the ports are be
ing very strongly defended and
mined. The war office gazette
announces a royal decree appro
priating 10,000,000 pesetas for
the artillery.
Current gossip credits the In
fanta Isabella with a wish to as
sume the regency. She has visit
ed the barracks and addressed
inspiring words to the officers
and men. It is rumored that the
qusen regent would not be averse
to such a change on the ground
that dsubslla, being a Spaniard,
could better sign a disastrous
peace than herself, who is often
taxed with being a foreigner.
Ihe government has r. ceived
a dispatch, it is reported, an
nouncing that the Spanish troops
have made a sortie from Manila
and inflicted a severe defeat on
the insurgents.
