In the execution of his orders Bate ap
preached the Columbia pike about two miles
south of Spring Hill. At this point coun
try crossroad came into the pike from the
Rally Hill road. During the forenoon, when
Wagner's Division was hurrying forward tC
Spring Hill, the 26th Ohio. of Lanes Brigade
had been detached to guard this country
road. When Bates Division approached
notwithstanding the great disparity in mum
bers, the 26th fought it valiantly until
BOTH FLANKs WERE TURNED,
when the 26th was compelled to fall back
across the pike. Bates men followed il
pursuit up to the pike fence, and there was
nothing further to prevent Bate from carry
ing out his part of the program.
The chief interest, however, centers in the
operations of Cleburne's Division. When
Cleburne started over for the Columbia pike
his right ran into that part of Bradley's line
posted on the wooded ridge, and being out
fanked on the right and badly punished by
Bradley's fire. it was forced back to the
Rally Hill road. Cleburne's struggle with
Bradley finally resulted in Cleburne's line
being hammered into change of direc-
tion toward Spring Hill by the fire oi
Bradley's line, while it was yet out in the
fields to the east of the pike. Bradley was
then outfanked on the right, and was forced
to fall back TO the village. In falling back
Bradley had TO cross the valley of small
creek.
When Cleburne, following up Bradley
came up on the slope facing Spring Hill, the
artillery posted on the high ground at the
village opened upon Cleburne with shrap-
mel shell, firing over the heads of Bradley
men retreating across the valley. As soon
as the artillery opened fire Cleburne drew
back over the slope out of range.
Bradley's right had rested in the open
fields 700 or $50 yards east Of the Columbia
pike. While Cleburne was attacking Brad
ley the Both H., of 0pdycke's Brigade, had
been double-quicked across from Wagner's
left, and was posted near the pike, opposite
Bradley's right flank When Cleburne
changed direction toward Spring Hill his
left came in contact with the Both, and that
regiment was
DRIVEN BACK
into the woods to the west of the pike.
There was now absolutely nothing to pre-
vent Cleburne from carrying out his orders
and extending his left across the pike south
of Spring Hill. Hecould have done it with
ont firing another shot. Having once estsb-
lished his line there he could have sat down
and waited for Stanley to take the initiative
if any more fighting was TO he done. 1t
would have been sufficient, even if he had
kept quiet where he was and Bates move
ment had been permitted to 90 on.
The National tribune., 1894-02-01

But Cleburne seems to have become panic
stricken-if il Is admissible to use go harsh
term concerning so intrepid o soldier-by
the sound of so much artillery, and to have
been convinced thereby that he had Scho-
fields whole army in his front, and that his
position was a critical one. Three or four
of the Gath boys had been captured on the
skirmish-line, and had been taken before
some Confederate officer, possibly Cleburne
himself, who had questioned them as 10
what force was at Spring Hill. They had
replied that they knew the Fourth Corps
was there, and they believed the whole Of
the army. Probably, too, it was incredible
to Cleburne that Schoield would daily all
day at Duck River, while Hood was march
ing seven divisions around his flank
In any event, Cleburne not only hastily
withdrew out of range of the artillery when
he met It's fire, aud away from the vicinity
of the pike, but he was also calling Justify
for reinforcements. Cheatham must have
held the same opinion as Cleburne, for he
hurried Brown forward on Cleburne's right
and recalled Bate from his movement down
the pike.
Brown got into position on Cleburne's
right before night fell, but he

for him to attack, as the enemy's line ex-
tended beyond his right several hundred
yards" The quotation is from Cheatham's
"Vindication of himself
The 97th Ohio, of Lanes Brigade, was
posted in support of the batteries near the
village, with its left resting on the Mt
Carmel road The Tooth H., of the same
brigade, was posted several hundred yards
in advance Of the 9th Ohio, on the opposite
side of the road, and the fanks Of these two
regiments were connected by two companies

| skirmishers.
1t was part of this force which extended
| beyond Browns right and paralyzed the ac-
tion OF his veteran division. Bate did not
get closed up on ClebuTne's left until after
dark. While Schofield was retreating along
| the pike in Bates rontduring the night, Bate
seems TO have become alarmed lest he was
in danger from an attack, for he asked that
his left be protected, and in compliance with
| his request johnson moved up late In the
evening and took position on Bates left

In addition to the therdisadvantages ofhis

lNCENDIARlES
Again Visit Bergen Point, N. J.-This zi. Time They Cause Loss
 of $25o,00O

BERGEN POINT, N. J., Aug. 20.-1he incendiaries, who renewed operations in . Bayonne a month ago, kindled, just G.
 fore 1 0 'clock this morning, fire that de-
 stroyed about t25O 1000 worth of property.
 The blaze started in the former gigantic Splant of the defunct Car & Hobson, lin-
 ited, eompany's agricultural implements
 man ufactory5 extending from the juncture
 of Avenue A and West First street, Bergen jpoint, to the Kill VonKull shore and terminus of the new Hudson county boule- | yard. Those who first saw the fire say the l, flames burst out simultaneously in several sections of the works.
 When the Bayonne flrenen arrived at the works they found that the hydrants in the immediate vicinity had been so tam- pered with that it required almost an | hours labor to open the valves and get l water on the flames. By this time the dry | ing shed, a long frame building, and it's contents were burned to the ground. 1 Then the flames ruined the old machine shop, carpenter shop and foundry, three | large brick buildings running parallel with a large brick building about 300 feet long and about GO wide. This latter buildin g was also badly damaged before the firemen got the blaze under control.
 The works were occupied by the Moltke | Fire Proof Construction company, success 1 sors to the Eastern Plaster Board company, l and by the Otis Glass Manufacturing com | pany. The latter corporation loses $50 COG i on machinery, material and stocks. The l Moltke company's is estimated at S10O, ,0OC | on the drying shed machinery, about 2CC l tons of cocoanut fibre, cork, reeds and l sedge, comprising raw material ,and large | quantity of finished stock. On the other | Buildings the loss is placed at S100, GOO | The property belongs to the American Ex- | change National bank under the provisio ns l of mortgage given by the former owners

WAR SHIP SEIZED

BY ENGLISH AUTHORITIES INTENDED FOR
 ONE OF THE BELLIGERENTs. LONDON, Aug. 2O.--The Earl of Kimb- ery, secretary of state for foreign affairs, has ordered the custom authorities at Glas- gov to seize the war ship Islam, which is being fitted out there for either China. or Japan This order was issued under the foreign enlistment act, as was also the order of last Saturday to seize at New Cas- tie the torpedo Catcher, built at the Els- wick works for China.
 The Globe this afternoon applouds the government for acting with vigor In pre-. venting a violation Of the enlistment act, saying:
 '.lt is plain that it does not intend to allow another Alabama to be fitted out. We were very sore about the Alabama decision, yet there is no doubt that it was !, in principle, perfectly right.'' The Globe's commendation was caused by the order to the custom officers at New Castle to seize, under the foreign enlist ment act, a torpedo catcher built at the Elswick works for China and detain 1t un- til condemed or released by process of law. Mail advices from China received here prohibited the exportation of horses.
 Horses are regarded as contrabaud of war by Japan. Urgent orders have been sent from the northern to the southern arsenals for powder and other munitions. Recruiting of the army is progressing actively.
 China has accepted the offer of Lui- Yung- Fi the former chief of the black flags in Tonquin, who is now naval commander at Canton, to reorganiZe the black flags to fight against Japan.

 LONDON, Aug. 2o.-A dispatch to the Central News from Shanghai says that the Chinese eunboats and warships are cruis- ing in the gulf of Pe-Chi-Li, with the oo- ject of preventing the Japanese from land ing troops in China. The Chinese vessels have hiding places in the numerous bays and arms of the gulf, whence they are able to observe the movements of the enemy without being seen.
 number of Japanese war vessels are conveying troop ships in the Yellow sea, but their destination is not known. u Hung Chang's army, 50,000 strong, and a large force of Japanese troops are nearing each other and battle is imminent. The Japanese have agreed to refrain from molesting Chinese merchant vessels not carrying articles contraband of war. Admiral Ting, commander of the Chinese fleet, is desirous ofengagng in open search of foreign war ships in Chinese waters, but he is unable 10 carry out his wishes, as the viceroy's orders are that all engagement with the Japanese squadron must be avoided.

IS NOW THE ASPECT AT FALL RIVER, MASS.
 PRIEST TALKS.
 FALL RIVER, Mass. Aug. 20.-The man. ufacturing situation today is in a very much disturbed condition. Only about ne-third of the looms in the mills are run ming, the rest of them being idle on &C., count of voluntary vacation taken by the weavers. The Iron works, American linen, Cornell, King Phillip, Metacomet, Kerr thread mills, Globe yarn and the Sanford spinning mills are running as fully as they were last week.
 In the other mills the looms running vary from not any to 400. There are not any manufacturers who care to say that the vacation will end in one, two or four weeks.
 In two or three churches yesterday the leaders of the vacation were denounced vigorously. At St. Patrck's church, where hev Michael Cook is pastor, the people were advised to fremain at work and not be led by wouIdbe labor leaders whose slick tongues raise to dizzy heights. The actions ot>these men have impoverished the dislri bey are little better than anArchistsy
 Much i'm oftance is attached to this cler- gymen's words from the fact that his church is in the center of Q thriving mill center of the city, and he is very popular and much beloved in a congregation of about 5000 people.
 The carders, spinners, loom fixers and er-tenders stared to work in all the mills as they promised to do at meetings held last week.

 LONDON, Aug. 20.-Repying to ques- tion in the house of commons today as to what action the government would take in view of the house of lords' veto of the evicted tenants bill, Sir William Harcourt said while this was the greatest question that can occupy the governments atten- ton, it was inadvisable to make a state ment on this subject at present.
 Thomas Sexton, anti-Parnelltte, asked if, in view of the veto of the evicted tenants bill and the home rule bill by the house of lords, the government would define it's policy in the next queen's speech. Sir V illam replied that the veto of these measures constituted the gravity of the situation. The government was fully im- pressed with the necessity of dealing with it, but today the government was not pre- pared to make any statement in regard to it's policy.
