WHEELER GOT EXCITED.

Yankees Are Breaking"

siboney, July 13, by the Journal lE
Dispatch Boat Simpson to Port
Antonio, Jamaica, July II
the splendid generalship of General
joe Wheeler, as much as TO any
other cause, is due the repeated
successes of the American forces
around Santiago. To see this
W6ife-6afred Veteran Of the civil
war astride his horse, leading the
regiments under his command,
made up almost entirely of nor
thern men, is a sight to stir the
heart of every American who
remembers that there was once a
Mason and Dixon line in the Uni
ted States.
The camp here is ringing with
praise of Wheeler, and at the same
time a good story of his words
during a desperate charge last
week is going the rounds. AS he
was leading the Seventy-frst New
York, Roosevelt'e Rough Riders
and strong force of regulars up
a high hill at San Juan, storming
a large body of Spaniards, who
were strongly intrenched, the
attacking party began to waver
under fierce fire from Gatling
guns and strong field pieces.
Wheeler saw his men waver and
began shouting at the top of his
voice, while the guns were roaring
and the small arms ratIling.

LYLE, GA, July IL, 1898.
Mr.. EDITOR: I have just return
ed from a visit to Letter hospital,
which is almost four miles from
our camp. 1t was noble spirit
that actuated Mrs. Letter to pur-
chase this splendid property and
present it to the government to be
used as hospital. It was a large
ho:el at Crawfsh Spring, (Chicka-
mauga s.a,io1). I found it about
full, (its capacity is, think, 1907.
Our regiment has only two there.
one from Co. A and one from Go.
G. They both had been very sick
but were both better. When I ask
ed about the South Carolina sick
the clerk said that the South Caro-
lima set was a healthy set, as they
didn't have but two in the hos
pital, while some other ~tates had
as high as fifteen or twenty men.
We have but few in the regimental
hospital. There were several cases
of what was thought to be measles,
but there were none this morning.
Also few cases of mumps. In
the division hospital we have a
few more, two or three quite sick,
but cne from Edgefeld, Tommie
Talley, who has been quite sick,
but is now improving.

Miles expedition was to start today
is more than double the distance
from Santiago to Porto Rico, SO
that the transports which sail from
the former city can scarcely
reach General Miles before the
early part of next week.
These Charleston troops are the
First brigade of the First division
of the First army corps, and are
commandedby Brigadier General
George III. Ernest.
The brigade comprises the Sec
ond Wisconsin, Third Wisconsin
and Sixteenth Pennsylvania 1egi-
ments.
The purpose of Secretary Algel
is to make the Porto Rican cam
paign a short one.
An overwhelming force will be
thrown upon the island, and it is
possible that a bloodless victory
will be achieved when the Span
iards become convinced that they
have no reasonable chance to re-
sist successfully.
The expedition is to comprise
10000 men at the start, and it will
be syelled soon to 10000, and, If
necessary, to 10000 men, the
equipment of the volunteer forces
having now progressed so we'll as
to warrant the statement that that
number can be ready for service
in Porto Rico within very short
time.
The entire body Of troops al
Tampa will be taken, numbering
about $4,000 men, including lot
of heavy and light artillery, under
command of General Rodgers.

Washington, July 1S.--After
three days consultation between
the president, Secretary Alger and
General Brooke, during which
three was frequent communication
with General Miles at Siboney, the
details of the Porto Rican expedi-
ton were pefected and the expedi-
ton itself was gotten under way.
General Miles, with some
artillery and troops, sailed today
for Porto Rico on the converted
cruiser Yale, to be followed quickly
by an army of about 10000 men.
There are some notable diff
erences in the plan for this expedi-
tion, and for the stately naval
pageant that sailed away from
Tampa under General Skaters
command to attack Santiago.
Fitst, there will be practically no
naval conveys; the navy depart
ment has declared that they are
unnecessary; that there is not a
Spanish warshlp in the West In
dies that dare trust it's bow out Of
port.
In the second place, the expedi-
tion does not start from one point,
but will be divided among several
ports, thus preventing the
tremendous congestion that was
encountered at Tampa in the effort
to start the big feet.
Lastly, there will be no effort to
get the big ships away together,
but the transports will be allowed
to find their own way to their
destination without concerted
movements.
General Miles leads the way,
He had been promised by the
president that he should go to
Porto Rico, and the promise was
made good when the Yale headed
today lfrom Siboney for Porto
Rico, 800 miles distant.
General Brooke will be the
senior officer in Miles commend
and upon him will fall the
responsibility for the execution Of
the details Of his superior's plans
It is estimated that General
Miles should arrive by "Wednesday
night at the point selected for the
landing, and will hoist the Ameri,
can flag at once over Porto Rican
soil.
The point chosen for this land.
ing is kept secret, as the general
will land before the full body Of
the expedition is at hand, and it
is, consequently, not desirable that
the enemy should be able tc
assemble a superior to meet him.

Star spangled Banner making
the American pulse leap and the
American heart thrill with Joy.
At the instant the sound of the
distant booming of Captain Cap
ron's bottery firing salute of
twenty one guns, drifted in. When
the music ceased, from all direc-
tions around our line came floating
across tie plaza the strains of the
regimental band, and the mufled,
hoarse cheers of our troops. The
infantry came to "order arms' a
moment later, after the flag was
up, and the band played "Rally
Round the Flag, Boys"
Instantly General McKibben
called for three cheers for General
Shafter, which were given with
great enthusiasm, the band playing
Sousa's. "The Star ard Stripes

The ceremony over, General
Shafter and his staff returned to
the American lines, leaving the
city in the pos session Of the
municipal authorities, subject to
the control of General McCibbon.
Santiago de Cuba, July IL;
Since 4 o'clock this morning i
stream of refugees has been pour
ing into the city, some naked, and
all hungry,sk and footsore.
Many had fsllen by the wayside.
The town of Santiago presents Q
dismal sight. Most OF the house
have been sacked, and the stores
have all been looted and nothing
to eat can be had for love or
money. In the streets and at the
| entertainments in the breastworks,
and every hundred feet or so of the
barbed-wire fences, were the liy-
ing skeletons of Spanish soldires.
Among the arrivals today were
the German, japanese and Por-
tuguese consuls and their families,
the British and French consuls
having arrived day before yester-
day.
General Pando was never here,
but $500 men from Manzanillo
arrived on July 8, making the
total garrison here 1000.
The contact mines in the harbor
were removed the day lAdmiral
Cervera left, but two chains of
electric mines, one from Estrella
point and the other from Socapa
are still down.
The armament of the shore
batteries of Santiago consists Of
five brass 6-inch muzzl zle-loaders,
in the Moro Notifications; two
6-inch Hontorias, from the cruiser
Reina Mercedes, and three 21-
centimetre mortars-never used
in the Socapa upper battery; two
useless 21-centimetre mortars, two
S-centimetre muzzle-loaders, and
four S-centimetre field pieces, in
the Estrella battery; one 81
millin1etre and one 25-millimetre
Nordenfeldt and one 37-millimetre
Hotchkiss, in tie Socapa lower
battery, and two 6-inch Hontorias,
two 9-centimetre Krupps, and two
15-centimetre mortars, at Punta
Gorda.
Four Spanish merchant steam
ars, the Morteria, the Reina de los
Angeles, the Tomas Brookes, and
the Mexico, and the gunboat
Alvarado are now in the barbor.
The market-place, has been
sacked by the troops.
Twenty-Five thousand refugees
are quartered at Ell Caney, 5000 at
Firmesa, and 5000 at Cubitas ell
Boniato end San Vlncente, where
they have lived for fortnight.
In one case 500 were crowded into
one building, which is a regular
pig-sty, with a horrible stencil.

washed and all manner of filth is
floating.

Santiago de Cuba, July IL
(Noon)-Amid Impressive cere-
monies the Spanish troops laid
down their arms between the line
of the Spanish and American
forces at 9 O'Clock this morning.
General Shafter and the Amcri-
cali division and brigade COM
manders and their staffs were
escorted by a troop of cavalry and
General Toral and his staff by 100
picked men.
Trumpeters on both sides saluted
with fourishes.
General Shafter returned to
General Toral the latter's sword
after it had been handed to the
American commander.
Our troops, lined up at the
trenches, were eye witnesses of the
ceremony. General shafter and
his escort, accompanied by General
Toral, rode through the city,
taking formal possession.
The city had been sacked before
they arrived by the Spanirds.
At the palace, elaborate
ceremonies took place. Ezactly
at noon, the American flag was
raised over the palace and was
saluted by 21 guns by Captain
capron's battery. At the same
time, all the regimental bands in
our line played "The Star r-spangled
Banner" after which President
McKinley's congratulatory tele'
gram was read to each regiment.
The Thirteenth and Nineteenth
regiments of infantry will remain
in the city to enforce order and
exercise municipal authority. The
Spanish forces are to encamE

Santiago, Cuba, Sunday, July
II, 1 p. m.-The American flag is
floating in triumph over the
governors palace at Santiago de
Cuba. General McKibbon has
been appointed temporary mil.
itary governor.
The ceremony of hosting the
Stars and Stripes was worth al.
the blood and treasure it cost. A
concourse of 10000 people witness.
the stirring and thrilling scene
that will live forever in the minds
of all Americans present. A finer
stage setting for a dramatic
episode it would be difficult to
imagine. The palace, a picturesque
old dwelling in the Moorish style
of architecture, faces the Plaza de
la Reina, the principal public
square. Opposite rises the
imposing Catholic cathedral. On
one side is a quaint, brilliantly
painted building, with broad
verandas-the club of San Carlos
on the other-a building of much
the same deacription-is the Cafe
de la Venus.
Across the Plaza was drawn up
the Ninth infantry, headed by
the Sixth cavalry band. II the
street facing the palace stood a
picked troop of the Second cavalry
with drawn sabres, under command
of Captain Brett. Massed OH the
stone tagging between the band
and the line of horsemen were the
brigade commanders of General
Skaters division, with their
stats.
On the red tiled roof of the
palace stood Captain McKittrick,
Lioutenan Miley, and Lieutenant
Wheeler, Immediately above them,
upon the flagstaff, the illuminated
Spanish arms and the legend
"Vive Alfonso Kill"
All about, pressing against the
veranda rails, crowding to windows
and doors and lining the roofs,
were the people of the town,
principally women and noh-com-
batants. AS the chimes of the old
catheral rang out the hour of -.
