TO EMBARK FOR SANTIAGO.
COL. RAYS REGIMENT ORDERED IN
READINESS TO MOVE.

Wln Relieve Some of the Troops Now
Occupying Santiago and the Sur
rounding Country-The Regiment
Mostly of Georgia Men-COmpany I
From Savannah-The Regiment
Regarded One of the Finest in the
Service.
News was received from Macon last
night that the Third Regiment Of United
States Volunteers, commanded by Col
Patrick H. Ray had been ordered 10 San
tlago. From the advices received here it
would appear that the regiment is to be
moved at once to Cuba to relieve some of
the troops now there in the occupation of
Santiago and the surrounding country.
This regiment is one of the finest that
has been mustered into the service of the
government. 1t comprises ten companies
of Georgians, one company from Florida,
and one company from Charleston. Among
the Georgia companies Is one, Company I,
made up largely of savannahians. This
company is commanded by Capt. West
moreland of Atlanta, with Savannah fur.
nishing the other two commissioned Off
GERS, J. A. Thomas, Jr., being first lieu
tenant, and J. H. Estill, Jr., second lieu
tenant. Maj, T. s. WILLY is in command
of the battalion to which the Savannah
company. as 1t is generally known, is at
tached
The Third Regiment has been camped
al Macon for about two months and has
established an enviable reputation for the
caliber of its members, the strict discipline
maintained, and the rapid progress in gen.
eral proficiency attained by the men.
Many visitors to the camp, who have also
been at the other camps, have spoken of
this regiment as having no superiors
among the volunteer forces of the coun-
try. Especial care was taken in enlisting
men to secure those of the finest physique,
and it is doubtful If in any regiment the
men, as a whole, rank higher physically.
Col. Ray Is a former officer Of the United
States army and soon put the regiment
on regular army basis. To the discipline
strictly maintained by him is largely due
the high standard already reached by the
various companies.
1t is not yet known from what point the
regiment will embark. 1t may be that
the men viii be taken to either Charles
ton or Tampa, or it is even possible that
ships may be sent to Savannah to take
them off Definite news on this point Is
expected to-day.

GIFTS FOR THE OGLETHORPEs.
Capt. PnttersOn's Sword and Flag
Presented to the Company.

There was a largely attended meeting
of the Oglethorpe Light Infantry last
night. After the routine monthly BUSH
ness had been transacted the war relics
left by the late Capt William H. Patter-
son were presented to the company by
Sergt. J. c. SippIe.
The one Of least intrinsic value but the
most interesting from a sentimental stand
point was a little parchment paper nag.
a copy of the flag first selected by the
Confederacy, In which eleven white stars
were grouped In a circle on a field Of
blue. This souvenir of the war was about
two by four inches in size. It was car
RED during a large part of the war by
Capt. Patterson in note book in his
pocket. The yellow tinge of age is upon it,
but down In the corner in minute letters
may be distinguished the name Of the
maker. Howell, Savannah, Ga" The
flag viii be framed for preservation end
as a relic of the days of '6l-65.
Another flag presented was one painted
by Capt. Patterson right after the war.
IL is the wei known war flag of the Con-
federacy. This is framed and will he
hung with the other one on the walls of
the company room.
Capt Patterson's sword was also turn
ed over to the Oglethorpes to place
among It's war treasures. 1t is an In
fantry officers sword, made by w. l. Nc
Elroy & Co., Of Macon, Ga, and was pre-
scented TO Capt Patterson while at Lynch
burg in 1863. He was then in the cavalry,
and when some lady friends decided 10
present him with a sword they forgot to
mention the branch of the service, and
so the infantry officers sword came.
Capt Paterson carried 1t in one or two en-
gagements and then sent It to his moth
er, who presented it 10 the Oglethorpes.
A photograph of Capt. Patterson taken
during the war in the uniform of a cap
tain, accompanied the relics. 1t shows
him to have been a handsome and dash
ing officer.

THE ADELINA CLEARED.
A Suspicion Shat the Portuguese
Bark Is Bound for Spain.


Bark Is Bound for Spain.
A close watch has been kept upon the
Portuguese bark Adelina for the last
month, ever since she has been in port
evidently with a view TO determining
whether she could be made a prize.
The Adelina has been here loading with
lumber, and cleared yesterday for Oporto,
Portugal. 1t is well known that the sym
pathes of the Portuguese are with The
Spanish nation and all the circumstances
Of the case naturally tended to cast sus-
picion upon the bark. For that reason
she has been carefully watched ever since
she came here.
The assistant district attorney examined
the bark's papers yesterday and finding
that she was cleared for a Portuguese
port, and that there was nothing suspic-
ious about her so far as could be ascer-
tanned, no action was taken in the case.
The bark win sail to-day for Oporto, but
there is a belief in some quarters that
she is actually bound for Spain. which
fact, II 1t could be shown, would of course
hold her liable to seizure.
