COL. soUTHMAYD's REPORT.
Col. Southmayd's statements in the
Rome (Ga.) Tribune created considerable
indignation here this afternoon. DR..
Porter was seen this evening. To the in
quiry of the NEWS correspondent he said:
There are three classes of persons to whose
attacks on me l never reply. One is in
fants, the other Imbeciles, and the third
blackguards." The inference is that the gal
liant colonel, who was dubbed "Old Gossip
here from his ways, is free to choose which
ever horn he chooses. Col. Southmayd, it
is claimed, expected to come here
and 'bossn affairs, and because the govern
ment took charge Of the nurses, and DIR.
Porter, as the governments agent, assigned
them as he thought fit, Col. Southmayd be-
came highly indignant and boasted on the
streets that he would have DR.. Porter
''relieved" as soon as he got President
Cleveland's ear. He charged that $500, 900
has been squandered up to date The
auxiliary committee has expended $123, las.
President Mitchell will have something to
say on the question tomorrow probably
