WILD Joy AT CAMP WHEELER.
All the Second Georgia Boys Glad
They Are TO Go Out.

All the Second Georgia Boys Glad
They Are 10 Go Out.
Camp Wheeler, Huntsville, Ala, Sept
10.-The Second Regiment of Georgia Vol
unteer Infantry is wild with excitement
tonight over the welcome news convey
ed by ten-word telegram from Congress-
man John w. Maddox, at Washington, to
the effect that the Second will be among
the troops that will be mustered out Of
the service at an early date. The message
was addressed to Congressman Maddox s
son, who is serving as a private in Com
, pany II, from Rome. 1t read as follows;
1.-The Secretary of War changed the or
der late this afternoon. The First and
Second regiments will go out"
This welcome news spread like wildfire
throughout the camp, and in much less
time than it takes to tell this story, yells
of joy from the thIoatS of 1000 men were
echoing through the surrounding forests.
The brave but homesick boys who had
been made to think that they were to re-
main IN the service to do garrison duty
for the remaining two years, the message
was a happy surprise indeed. Officers and
privates alike seemed 10 fully appreciate
the situation, realizing that as enlisted
men, they were subject to the orders of
the war department untii the expiration uf
their term of enlistment which is two
years
II is believed by the men that 1t was
through the efforts of Congressman Mad
dox that this change OF orders al the war
department was made, and It Is needless to
say that he has bound the friendship of at
least 1,000 of~Georgia's best stock with a
lasting tie.
The two regiments will, In all probabil-
lty, be taken to Atlanta within the next
few days. where they will disband as early
as yoss!ble

CONSIDER 1T A RUMOR.
First Georgia Boys Have No Definite
News of MMsterine out


Knoxville Tenn, Sept. 10.-The report
that the First Georgia was to be muster
ed out was received at the camp this
morning with little demonstration. A con-
trary report this afternoon met the same
reception at the camp.
The Georgia boys regard rumors OF mus
tcring out as rumors only, and no demon
stration is likely to be made until some
definite order is received.
Col Lawton stated this afternoon that
he was wholly ignorant of any action on
the part of Gov. Atkinson or other officials
in behalf Of the First Georgia being mus
tered out, nor would he say whether he
favored mastering out or remaining in the
service He is neutral and will accept
whatever proposition Is offered.
Another promotion was made to-day,
sergt Bowman, Company B, being raised
20 the regimental quartermaster sergeant.

she replied: NO he only struck me on
the breast and doubtless wished to steal
my watch"
The assassin made a complete confess
sion, adding that he regretted that the

TODAY "Wednesday, when it Is
rronosed that all of General Randolph s
batteries w l be in position. The siege
guns landed Manday will also be
brought up as soon as possible.
Torrents of rain fell Monday night,
drowning out the boys in the trenches
and making the road almost impossible.
This may delay the batteries and siege
guns. The volunteers. who are being
hurried on to the front, are being To-
Gated along the right center in the po-
sitions which have been occupied by
General Lawton's division, while the
latter has moved forward, extending our
right until it almost touches the road to
Caimenes, over which General Tora]
would have to retreat.
The Cubans under General Calixto
Garcia took Oaimenes without opposi-
ton Monday night and have entrench-
ments ON either side of the road. The
Americans are now in position to strike
the enemy on the left flank and roll it
up, making the Spanish entertainments
north of the city untenable.
General Toral. realizing the weakness
of this flank, has been busy during the
existende of the truce in doubling back
with entertainments and fixing his guns
in the direction from which he is threat
ened Most of General Randolph's
guns will be located upon the heights
in the center of General Lawton's new
position, where they command the
town. Monday afternoon the Cap
ron and Hanes batteries on the right
succeeded in tearing up the emplace
ments for ''palm" battery, as it is
called, and i'll Pumping shells into sew
eral blockhouses on Salients, but the
shots directed at the Spaniards in the
trenches did not appear to have much
effect.
Shrapnel was rapidly broken directly
over the trenches, yet in five minutes
the trenches at every point of explosion
would be alive with the enemy. They
would watch for the flash of our guns
and drop before the shells exploded.
Our mortar fire was directed at the
Spanish bull ring and tore up almost
everything in the vicinity. 1t is under
stood that the bull ring is being used as
barracks.
Three large steamers lie in the har-
Dor alongside the Philadelphia Iron
company wharf, and small Spanish
gunboat is anchored at the head Of the

by this correspondent.
