literally covered with Federal dead and
wounded.' W.
Immediately after the bloody repulse
OF Grants efforts at Cold Harbor, Col
quit returned to the south Of the James
and occupied the trenches at Petersburg.
The command built the famous salient
on the east Of the city in front of Hare's
hill, where the Federal Fort Stedman
was located. The slaughter Of Federals
in front Of Co3quitt's salient was equal
to that Of Cold Harbor. It was there
that the First Maine heavy artillery
lost 6S2 men killed and wounded in a
single charge on the 18th of June.
For 60 days the Georgians stood I'M
der fire in those trenches, and it is we'll
known history that every attempt Of
Grant to force them failed. During that
time the Sixth lost "a killed and 80
wounded. Its commander, Colonel Ar
mold, was killed July 2. "
When Grant began operations to turn
Lees left at the Weldon road, Colouitt
once more rushed to the point of dan
ger. His brigade fought in Hills col
umn at Globe Tavern on the 10th Of
September in the attack on General
Warren's forces, which had seized a
strip Of the railroad to cut off Lees sup
plies coming from the south. The Sixth
joined in flank attack on Warren, led
BY General Malone. Entering the fight
$50 strong, it bore off as trophies four
Federal battlefags and the commander
OF brigade of Pennsylvanians, together
with his staff and 1000 men. This
swoop was made by penetrating be-
tween the pickets and picket reserves
and the main line of Federals.

early hours of Sunday.

The storm broke upon the camp at night.
Rain poured in sheets, and the high
wind blew the water almost in a hor-
izontal direction so that 1t beat into the
faces of those who had to remain ex-
posed. The wind, getting under the
tents. tore them from their fastenings
and sent them tapping into the air, and
left their inmates lying exposed to the
driving storm.

WHY ENGLISH WAS USED.

Washington, May 9.--The administra-
tion had purpose in transmitting to
General Woodford the ultimatum OF the
United States to Spain in open English,
instead Of in the state department. cipher
which is usually employed in cable cor
respondence with diplomatic represent
tatives. IL was expected by the presi-
dent that the message would be laid be-
fore the Sagasta ministry before it was
delivered to General Woodford. and in
this he was not incorrect. as events
proved. The message was delayed many
hours In delivery, and Minister Wood
Tord afterwards learned that the ulti-
matum had been in the hands of Pre-
mier Sagasta, and had been considered
by the cabinet long before he learned
that Ii had arrived. Thus 1t was that
the Spanish government was enabled
to give him his passports before he had
an opportunity to deliver the ultimatum
formally to the Madrid government.
The fact that the ultimatum was not
presented to the government was en-
tirely satisfactory to the administra-
ton, as it was in accordance with the
expectation of the president.

Moro. they were enabled to take bear
ings from both points. and by laborious
calculations they fixed the position OF
the vessels pretty accurately. With
such opportunity for observation IL
would be no great trick for an American
gunner TO drop a shell down the smoke
stack OF vessel.
AS soon as the ships sheered off after
the first fire the Spanish gunners lost
the range and their practice became
ludicrous. Both Captain Smith and
Commander Lilly believed the Spanish
refrained from using the upper batter
ies in order not TO expose their actual
location. Later I'm the day the Morrill,
captured the Spanish schooner Espana,
bound for Havana, and towed the prize

On Friday the French schoolship

all. entered Havana harbor. She was
stopped by the Morrill,. and two salutes
were fired by the Annapolis before she
showed her flag.

The Spanish flagship, having got up

its guns on the Spanish flagship. and the
signal was obeyed with telling affect.
The flagship retired. The Olympia fred

Altogether 14o men were killed and

Admiral Montejo transferred his flag
to tho Castillo. which was sunk shortly
afterward by a storm OF shot. AT
7:45 the Olympia signalled TO cease fir-
ing. The Americans were exhausted
with the great heat, the men having
been quartered since 10 o'clock the pre-
vious night. A conference OF captains
was held. and IL was found that no one
had been killed, but that several had
been slightly wounded by splinters.
Two torpedo launches attacked the
Olympia. The shells from her guns
were unable TO strike so small an object,
but hail OF 6-pound shells sank the
leading launch, all on board being killed.
The other launch was beached with II
shot holes and the boat was covered with
blood. Half an hour after noon. a white
flag was hoisted at Cavite and the Span
ish crews deserted their ships, taking
away their dead. Admiral Montejo
