HEUT. OBRIEN, c mi Os thß Fifth infantry, Died ■ in Sadia go. HEinnmß ACTOR > In the F® olollß Atlanta Court Martial. Atlanta, Ga.,Bept. 17.—News reached Atlanta last night of the death of Lieut. Michael J. O’Brien, of the Fifth United States infantry, at Santiago, where he was stationed with his regiment. The cause of the death of Lieut. O’Brien, was not con tained in the meager news that came over the wires from Cuba yesterday, but it is supposed that the officer died of fever contracted since be has been at Santiago with his regiment. The death of Lieut. O’Brien will cause great regret among many of his friends in this city who knew him intimately while stationed with the Fifth regi ment at Fort McPherson. Aboutayearago.it will be lemeiabered, Lieut. O’Brien resigned from the army under charges prefefred against him by officers at the post, but upon the outbreak of the war with Spain, when new officers were needed to command the troops authorized by the act of con gress, the officer re-entered the service and was again stationed with the Fifth infantry. Upon the departure of the regiment for Santiago, Lieut. O’Brien accompanied his com mand, and the reports that have reached the United States in regard to the Fifth have been very flattering to the deceased officer, The troubles that led up to the withdrawal of Lieut.O’Brien from the army some months ago, were supposed at the time to be due to a fondness on the part of the office)* for strong drink, and to the fact that charg es were preferred against him ahortlX after the’eourtmartial of Capt. Romeyn, with whom he had a difficulty at Fort Mc- Pherson. Lieut. Bamford, one of the junior lieutenants assigned to the Fifth infantry some time ago, was said to nave been en gaged to the daughter of Capt. Romeyn and was known to be very friendly with the wife of Lieut. O’Brien. It was stated in the trial of the case against Capt. Romeyn that Lieut. Bam ford would go bicycle riding with Mrs. O’Brien, and that the two would spend the day togeth er often by themselves. This fact excited considerable cont inent at the post, and reaching the ears of Capt. Romeyn, he refused Lieut. Bamford admis sion to his home, it is said. The O’Briens were left much to themselyes by the wives and families of the officers at the post, and Lieut. O’Brien consid er ad that Capt. Romeyn was to blame for many of the slights that were offered himself and his wife. * *n the drill ground one after noon Capt. Romeyn elapped the *ace of Lieut. O’Brien, but that officer did not resent the insult at the time, preferring not to attack his superior officer. As a result of the difficulty, charges were preferred against ( apt. Romeyn, but upon the adjourniuenTof the courtmartial he was allowed to withdraw from the army. Shortly afterwards it was thought that charges would be preferred against Lieut. O’Brien and he resigned his commission upon learning of the charges, and left the army with the in tention of going on the lecture platform. «r- -=• WRECKED IN MIDOCEAN Crew of The Ship America Res cued by a British Steamer.
