south American Countries viii Not
Recognize Cuban BelliEerency.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 19. Diplomatlsts
well informed regarding the senti-
ments Of South and Central American
republics are authority for the state
ment that there is no intention on the
part Of the governments Of these coun-
tries to recognize Cuban belligerency.
Bolivia has evidenced purpose to
grant such recognition, but it is ex.
plained that Bolivia has no ports nor
commerce that can be effected and
could take the step without fear of any
disastrous consequences at the hands OF
Spain. The tone of the official papers
Of South America generally has been
friendly to Spain, and the governments
of the respective countries do not care
to take any position which might re-
suit in hostilities with Spain. The
attitude of the United States, diplo-
mats from the Southern republics say,
will govern nearly every South Amerl-
can country as to belligerency or non
interference.

Receiver Martin Restrained From Inter
lering la Amy Way. 5,..3.
TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 19.-The Santa
Fe receivership case has developed a
direct conflict between the state and
federal courts. Anticipating the ap-
pointment Of a new receiver by Judge
Myers at Oskaloosa, A. A. Hurd, gen.
eral attorney for the railroad company,
obtained supplemental order from
Judge Foster of the United States cir
cult court. The order directs all the
officers and employees Of the Atchison
Railway company in the State of Kan
sas to continue the management and
control of said railway in the same
manner as the same has heretofore been
conducted, until the further order Of
said United States circuit court shall be
made. @ II
b Later, Rossington, Smith and Dallas,
representing the Union Trust company
Of New York, which became a party to
the action by cross bill filed in the
federal court last week, appeared before
Judge Foster and presented lengthy
petition, asking that Senator Martin ct
al. be ISL
Restrained From Interfering
with the present management of the
road. The petition recites the actions
of the Oskaloosa court in the matter
and says that notwithstanding the
filing Of the transcript Of the case in
this court and the orders made by this
court, the said district court Of Jeffer-
son county has assumed to appoint one
John Martin as receiver Of the prop
erty, at tho instance Of H. T. Phinney,
county attorney Of Jefferson county,
and his associates, Henry Keller, D. r.
Elite, H. B. Shaefer and Marshall Geb-
hart. = TX
9 ntinuing, the petition holds that
ut the time Of the appointment Of said
receiver, the United States circuit
court held jurisdiction over the Jeffer-
son county court and that the appoint
ment Of Martin is void. Under the
showing thus made, Judge Foster
granted q restraining order against
John Martin and the others named.
Just before the restraining order was
served upon him Senator Martin was
seen BY = reporter and said that he
would qualify AZ receiver Immediately.
Later he said he should respect the or.
der Of the United States court.

HEROES UNDER The Twenty fourth
800, ,,rnr Michigan joined the
tAto1 rA1In. Iron brigade in the

e.,
- :: r1Nh Iron brigade in the
Army Of the Potomac just before the
campaign OF Fredericksburg. The regi-
ment had been hurTiedly organized at
Detroit and sent to the front In strong
contrast were the pale. faces and bright
new uniforms with 'bronzed skin and
well worn blouses Of the veterans Of the
gallant phalanx that had earned scars
and fame in battle. The first expert
ence of the novices under fire was on
the open. brow Of 4 hill fully exposed to
the enemy's artillery on fredericksburg
heights. "A solid shot cut Of the arm OF
q soldier in Company ! and instantly
killed lad named Louis Hattie, who
was but Is years Of age and the favorite
Of the regiment.
When these startling Casualties be
came noised along the ranks, there was
some unsteadiness in the execution OF
commands, for it was trying moment
to stand idle with cannon bSlls plowing
the ranks and shells screaming over
head. The historian Of this noble regi-
ment, o. b Curtis, thus describes the
incident which followed: Colonel
Morrow saw the wave1ing lines and
was quick to discern that no troops
would long stand in such FIRE unemploy-
ed without the privilege Of returning .
single shot. To bring the men TO them
selves he halted the line and put the
regiment through the manual Of arms
drill. His sonorous orders: Attention,
battalion. Right dress. Front. Support
arms etc, were heard over the field,
and with all the precision Of parade the
orders were obeyed. It was glorious
siRht to see nearly 1000 men standing
It support arms while the air was torn
with shells and the very hills seemed to
rock under the reverberation.
The Twenty fourth had further bloody
initiation on that field and bore the bat
tie 20 we'll that the veterans gladly well
coined it into the ranks of the Iron bri-
gade. AT Gettysburg it formed and de-
Tended six different lines Of battle and
was nearly annihilated.
