THE |MMUNES
 REACH SAN TACO ThS Alabama and Mississippi Troops Under Col. Sargent
 Arrive in Cuba.

Santiago, Aug. 12.4 D. m.-The Rio Grande arrived this morning with the Fifth Volunteer immune regiment, under Colonel Sargent and the Second regular cavalry. The enlisted men are mainly from Missis- sippi and Alabama, but there are some from Illinois.
 The Rio Grande will leave tomorrow for Montauk Point with the Ninth and Tenth cavalry. This shipment--the final ship ment of the first division troops-contra- diets all suggestions of discriminating againstthe colored troops The original plan was to leave the Ninth and Tenth cavalry here as as immunes, but in order to avoid a charge of suspicion of discrimi- nation, they have been ordered to embark.
 The Mobile will sanl tomorrow with the Eighth and Twenty-second regulars and the Second Massachusetts. :t
 The shipment of the Seventy-first New York and Second Massachusetts which are the only volunteer regiments originally in the fifth army corps, anticipates and de- feats any possible charge of discrimina- ton against the volunteers. The remaining volunteers of the provisional division are expected to leave next week
 Owing to lack of coal the authorization of Spanish troops on the Isle de Luzon has been delayed but they will be shipped on Sunday.
 The Ward line steamer Philadelphia sailed for New York today carrying back the greater part of the cargo she brought owing to the fact that there is no market here for anything at present, as the gov ernment the Red Cross and the relief so- cieties have glutted the city. Nobody is purchasing what can be got for nothing.
 General Wood today published a tariff which is official for retailers under legal penalties. TheScale of prices was agreed upon after conferences with merchants in all branches of trade here. This will do much toward opening a market and in- creasingsales, as formerly the prices charged were so exorbitant as to be prac- tically prohibitive.

GEN. JOE WHEELER
Replies to Unjust Criticisms of Gen.
 Shafter.

Nashville, Tenn, Aug. 12-Postmaster A, w. Mills received a letter from Gen. Joe Wheeler tonight, dated Santiago de Cuba, July 7, 1898, in which General Wheeler says, referring to newspaper reports com corning General Shafter:
 'I think the criticisms on General Shaf- ter were very unjust. He has had hard task, and has performed it successfully and well. He is a man of more than ordinary brain power and administrative ability. The criticism that he did not place him. self on the firing line is ridiculous, as on July 1st he was carrying on two fights at the same time-one at Caney and one at San Juan. He had some reserves. and had to place himself where he could see both fights and manage the whole affair, which he did efficiently.
 with very high regards, truly your friend, JOSEPH WHEELER.
