BRADLTY Is OUT.

fiQl Race as


louisville, KY. June 4.-The Comsss
mercial,s special from Frankfort CON-
tains an interview with Gov. Brafllcyss
which is his official withdrawal as Az
presidential candidate. He announcedS
to-day to his friends that his name
would not be presented to the st. Louis
convention, although the Kentucky
delegates-at-large and some district
delegates are instructed for him. Gov.
Bradley looks on the growth of free
silver among the Southern and West
ern Democrats with alarm as threat
ening the interests of the country. He
urges the Republicans to meet the is-
sue squarely, and closes his interview
thus:
'sThe nominee Of the Republicans at
st. Louis should have the undivided
support Of the party, for the CONNER
cial interests of the republic are in as
much danger as in 1861. Personal
preferences should be laid aside and
petty animosities forgotten and patri-
otto Democrats who stand for the ma
tional advancement and prosperity of
the nation should be appealed to assist
in the defeat of those who would lower
the standard Of our money and thereby
necessarily strain the nations honor.
Kentucky Republicans won a signal
triumph last fall on ringing declara.
tion for sound money. They should
stand by their guns. forgetting all in
tcrnecine strife and march shoulder to
shoulder +" q" esand- victory in No
velnUer."
Gov. Bradley's friends say he stated
as soon as the returns Of the silver
tidal wave last Saturday came in that
the time had come for state favorites
and personal preferences to be laid
aside.

In 1t, and they spoke as If such massa-

them:
'Our column, under Gen. Serano,
left San Cristobal May to operate in
the mountains between here and the
north coast. At midnight we camped,
but at 5 a. M. the bugle sounded for us
to be up. We were preparing to break
camp. when suddenly there was call
to arms. A moment later there came
q perfect rain of bullets. Then the in
t.: surgents began to close in upon us.
Several times they came down upon
us with tremendous fury, swinging
ImGpcossl6ie 'f FOR t t&};eiS e5pa hut it was
the fire of our Mausers.
I'VE were under fire and constant
menace from the machete until past
noon. when the enemy apparently
withdrew. A consultation was held by
our officers, and it was learned that re-
treat was cut off. When night came
we were still on the mountain side.
Day dawned, and with light came the
.enemy's fire. Thus we fought on, our
boys falling about us in q dreadful
manner, when suddenly we heard a
distant boom of cannon. We knew as
'sistance had arrived from Bahia Hon
'da, and that the enemy was being at
tackled in the rear. The insurgents
fire was gradually withdrawn, and we
succeeded in taking possession of their
camp. They had retreated, but had oc-
.cupied another height, where they de-
fed us.
sit was all we could do to attend to
our dead and wounded OF my bat
talon we had to bury ten and gather
up thirty-seven wounded. Each of the
other battalions lost as many or more.
We then killed four prisoners who had
been captured, including a Chinalnan.
We carried our wounded to Bahia
Honda. whence they were sent to Ha-
vana. Then after rest we returned
to this place. On the road the day be-
fore the fight in the forest we had
passed a fine house. 1t was a general
who had stopped there and had been
we'll received by man occupying the
place. who said he knew nothing of the
insurgents. AS we came to this house
on our return halt was ordered, and
our officers went into the house. The
general went up to the man. shook
hands with him. and then invited him
out doors. where he ordered him to be
killed with the machetes. We then cx-
amined the house and found various
bottles of medicines that satisfied us
that the house was an insurgent hos
pital and the man whom we had killed
was their doctor. We then went
through the house and found upward
of forty sick and wounded. These we
killed with our machetes and then ap-
piled the torch. Those who had died
outside of the house we threw into the
flames. We then resumed our march"
