LATEST FROM THE SEAT
OF WAR.

Admiral Sampson has taken possession
of Guantanamo about 80 miles east of
Santiago de Cuba and has landed force
of about 600 marines who were bush
whacked by large force of Spaniards.
Our loss was four men killed: Spanish
loss unknown. A force of 1900 men is
now on transports en- route for Santiago,
under command of Gen. Shafter convoy
ed by a feet of war vessels. This army
is expected to land at Guantanamo this
week and stirring events may be expect
ed to transpire in the near future. Sup
plies and ammunition have been safely
landed west of Santiago and delivered
to the insurgents.
Another military expedition is expect
ed to set sail soon for Porto Rico. Nc
Kinley and Miles are evidently prepared
to do as Gen. Grant said in his famous
dispatch, push things"

for Purpose Of Volunteering
For Service in the Defence Of Country-How
They Will Arrive.

All the roads in the state lead to Au-
gusta, today. In fact Augusta, from
today, until the departure of the troops
for the front. or for home, will be about
the only place in the State.
The Augusta people, and in fact all
the people in the state, do not begin to
realize the novelty, as well as the i'm
portance Of the event the concentration
Of the State forces for purpose other
than for peace, for the first time in 50
years.
Today, men are leaving home, who
Will never return. Parents are for the
last time looking upon the face of their
son: wifcs are forever bidding farewell
TO their husbands. for whether the
enemy in open engagement or not, there
will be many die, as it is a we'll known
fact that more die from disease than
are killed by bullets in the army. If
the Maine troops are sent to Cuban
soil, although it is doubtful if they do,
many win die of disease.
But to look at the picture from an
other light. Many part from friends
and dear ones, today. with misgivings,
and at the moment of separation their
love of home almost oVercomes their
patriotism. but none viii stay at home
for all that. These same true hearted
soldiers. who leave with so many mis-
ei,ings. and such heartache may re-
turn at the end Of the strife loaded
With glcyv, and perhaps elevated in the
