train on the Chattanooga, Rome &
Southern railroad Saturday morning
ran into the third section of a mill
tary train conveying the first Missouri
volunteers near Rossville, Ca, killing
Private George M. Walker of company
D and painfully injuring A. Maynard
Lane of company Fl, Howard Brow
laski of company D, and slightly in
juring several other occupants on
both trains. It appears that the pas
senger train had orders to run
through to Rossville, Ca, and the
second section Of the military train
with portion of the first Missouri,
which was expected to run through to
Rossville, was delayed at a switch
about a mile from Rossville. The
conductor of the military train sent
back a fagman to warn the passen-
ger train, but the fagman did not go
far enough. The engineer of the pas
senger train did not see the danger
signal until within a short distance
Of the military train. He reversed his

riding and it was completely demol-

next was a baggage car in which
Browlaski and Lane we're stationed.
This was badly torn up but few of
the occupants were seriously hurt. The
wounded were taken to st. Vincent's

where all are doing well in pleasant
surroundings. The engineer and fire

rested. General Boynton, John Jacob

were on the passenger train, but none
were hurt. The first Missouri was

War Notes.

The first Americans to be killed by
Spanish guns in the present war met
their deaths on the 18th instant in
the harbor of Cardenas, on the north
ern coast of Cuba, 70 miles east of
Havana in an action between Spanish
gunboats and shore batteries and the
American blockading vessels Hudson,
Winslow and Wilmington. The tor
pedo boat Winslow was disabled, and
Ensign Bagley and four of the crew
we're killed and Lieut. Bernado and
others were wounded.
On the 18th there was a fight at
Cienfuegos, on the south coast of
Cuba, between the United States
men of-war Marblehead, Nashville
and Window, and several regiments
of Spanish soldiers. The three YES
sells went to cut a cable inshore, and
while they were in small boats en-
gagged in the work they were shot at
by the Spaniards on shore behind
breastworks. Before the work of cut
ting the cable was accomplished, we
lost one killed, two MORALLY wound
ed and six less seriously wounded
The Spanish loss is supposed to be
several hundred.
Admiral Sampson, with nine war
ships, bombarded and DESTROYED
MORO fort, at San Juan, Porto Rico,
last Thursday morning. Two Amer.
leans were killed and seven wounded.
The American ships we're uninjured.
Major-Gen. Wesley Merritt will 90
to the Philippines in command of the
army there, and will be accompanied
by Major Gen. Otis as second in com.
mand.
The designation of Major-Gen. Lee
Lee as commander of the Seventh
Army Corps, with headquarters at
Tampa, would indicate that he is to
accompany the army of invasion to
Cuba.
Dewey cables that he has all the
coal he needs at Cavite, and can
capture Manila whenever advisable
to do so.
The supply of food at Manila is
running short, and the people are
eating horse meat.
The Spanish gunboat Callao has
been captured at Manila.
The expedition Friday to land
arms and ammunition at Cabanas
for the Cubans, proved a failure, the
Cubans being unable to reach the
rendezvous. The arms were brought
back to Key West.
Thirty thousand American troops
will be sent to Manila with tue lesst
possible delay.

The New York Post thinks that
it is the intention of the Republican
party to set up carpet-bag govern
ments in Hawaii, Cuba. Porto Rico
and the Philippines, and to revive,
as far as possible, q perpetuation of
the abuse of Reconstruction days.
Referring to this period of tyranny
and robbery in the South, the honest
and ont spoken Post says:
"We decided that it was necessary
to keep control of it for 10 years at.
ter we had subdued it. Every per-
son over 20 years of age remembers
how we did it. We sent down large
bands of characterless adventures
called 'carpetbagger' to humiliate
the vanquished and plumber them,
until the abuse grew too strong to
be defended or even apoligized for"
That is the way it was DONE
Under the protection of q harlequin
6ayonet government, everything in
the South that could be stolen was
stolen by Northern csrpet-baggers.
Heaven help-for they will need it
any people who are SO unfortunate
as to be ruled and robbed BY free
hooters like President " Dole, Of
Hawaii, typical New England
carpet-bagger, all wool and a yard
wide.
