OR sCEFUL ACT.
Col. aorgan of shepherdstown Re-
tnrns Captured colors to the Sixth
New York Volunteers.


MARTINsBURG w. Va, June It,
Colonel William A. Morgan. OF Shep-
herdstown, pursuant TO an appoint
ment, drove to Antietam battlefield a
few days ago and met representatives
Of the Sixth New York regiment of
volunteers, to whom he presented two
guidons captured by him from the
Sixth New York regiment. 1t was
in the battle of Todd's Tavern, about
May /, 1868, that the First Virginia
Cavalry was engaged in a midnight
encounter with the enemy. Under
the cover Of darkness, things were
much mixed and when the fight was
over Colonel Morgan was in posses
sion of three silk guidons, one of
which he presented to the adjutant.
George Phreanor, afterwards killed
and the other two he carried home,
where he used them to drape the walls
of his hallway for thirty-fye years.
A few years ago Charles NJ Smith,
OF Worcester, Mass, called at Colon
Ell Morgan's home and recognized the
guidons as belonging to the Sixth
New York regiment. Arrangements
were at once made for Colonel Morgan
to go to New York and present the
flags to the survivors OF the Sixth,
j but Col Morgan modestly declined.
He preferred to quietly meet the COM
mander. 1t was finally arranged
that the return Of the relics should
be made on the Antietam battlefield,
so a committee of the Sixth, compos-
ed of Colonel Easton, Of Massachu-
sets, Major Hewett, of Missouri, and
Major Roster, of Boston. met Colonel
Morgan and his daughter, Mrs. II. G.
Getzendanner, at Antietam. Mrs.
Getzendanner took the guidons from
the wrappers, and when exposed to
view before the committee from the
Sixth, they wept as they recognized
their old guidons. Colonel Eaton ia
an eloquent speech, accepted the flags.
Colonel Morgan then showed the vet
Grams a canteen he carried during the
war, on which he kept diary of all
the battles and skirmishes in which
his command participated, number
ing 1877.

bashwhackers this afternoon, and es-
capped without the loss of a man after a

bol near the fort for mines, had found

Marblehead, when the enemy, concealed
III the bushes on the shore, opened a
bot fire on the five men in the launch.

niier with it. In the meantime tie
enemy was fleeing wildly. The marine
was promptly rescued. 1t is believed

CUBAN INVASION POSTPONED
American Fleet May Be Sent to the
Coast of Spain,
SEIZE THE GAAARIEs AND H0MbARD cADll.
Pos ponement Due to the Effects of the
Rainy Season-No Reinforcement Will
BE sent to General Shafter-Gen.
Miles Returns to Washington.

A Washington special says: The
invasion of Cuba will be postponed
until fall and in the meantime the
fleets will be sent towards the Spanish
coast, seize the Canary islands and
lombard Cadiz, if Spain does not sue
for peace before then.
The postponement of the Cuban in
vasion is due largely to the report
made to the president by Surgeon Gen.
eral Sternberg to the effect that should
the army be thrown into Havana
province at this time or during the
rainy season that 40 per cent of the
troops will die.
In the meantime Santiago is to be
made the basis of operations and
thoroughly fortified and garrisoned.
General Miles said that the ex-
petition to Porto Rico would be push
ed forward with great rapidity and
that it should be started within two
weeks. The reinforcement of 10000
troops will be sent next week to Gen
eral Merritt, which will put the army
in position of absolute safety.
