Madison. Aug.

Madison, Aug. 10.
1t is well remembered that several
train loads of colored regulars passed
through Madison over the Northwest
ern road some eight or ten weeks ago,
bound from an army post in Montana
TO the south to engage in the war
with Spain. A wildly enthusiastic well
come was accorded them at the depot,
hundreds cheering the brave fellows,
impulsively clipping brass buttons
from their coats as souvenirs, gener-
ally begging mementoes and linn
izing the visitors. In the multitude
who struck up q cordial acquaintance
with a stalWart, intelligent and hand
some sergeant, colored like the rest
but an especially fine specimen of
physics manhood. On his breast
were three silver bars, which, it was
explained, he had won for thrice
proving himself the best marskman
in his regiment. Upon bi ding Mr.
Briggs good-by the sergeant remarked
that he would write from Cuba if
possible, and Saturday Mr. Briggs
received not only a Letter but three
genuine Mauser cartridges, unexplod-
ed, which were captured on the San
tiago battlefield. Each is exactly
three inches long ard half an inch
in diameter at the base, while the
steel encased leaden bullet, a quarter
of an inch thick and tapering to
p int protrudes about thirteen-six-
teenths of an inch from the brass
shell which contains the powder
charge. This shell is some two and
is said to make the ugliest wound of
any small missile used in war. The
sergeant's patriotic letter, in clear
and correct chirogrophy, follows:
"Off Santiago de Cuba, Friday,

BADGER SOLDIER SHOT.
Member of Marinette Company Pays
Penalty for Killing a Comrade.

Marinette, Wis, Aug. 14.-Word
has been received here from Ponce
that Private La Duke Of the End Wis
consin regiment, who shot and killed
Private Stafford Of the regular army
during a quarrel in a saloon at Ponce,
was -martialed Aug 3, found
guilty, and shot the morning Of Aug.
4. Alex. La Duke was man about
33 years Of age. He had a wife and
little daughter. Sometime ago he and
his wife separated and the latter is
now residing in Green Bay. La Duke
was born in Menominee, Mich. His
father was an old resident Of the river
and proprietor of the Eagle hotel in
Frenchtown, just across the river. La
Dukes occupation was that OF
a common laborer and in
years past he was employed
on the drives and in the woods
He was a pleasant fellow when sober,
but when filled with liquor was wholly
irresponsible and dangerous. Several
years ago he attempted to shoot his
brother, John La Duke, who is now

tors will be returned to the League
Island navy yard. Some of the aux
ilaries are still needed to look after
the mine fields established along the
coasts.
The war department was busy all
day with matters pertaining to the
cessation of hastilities Agler con-
suited the president some time, but
sad that the military comm ssions
fer Cuba and Porto RICO would not
be announced for day or two.
There is NJ need of haste, he said,
as by the terms of the protocol ten
days are allowed for the selection Ct
the commission, Il seems to be
generally conceded that Gen. Fitz-
hugh Lee VIII be one Of the COM
nlissioners for Cuba on account Of
his knowledge Of condltio-s in the
island. Generals Brooke and Henry
are mentioned as the probable COM
missioners of Porto Rico.
The subject of mastering out part
sidered and it is probable that the
total force will be reduced to 10000.
This mastering out will MT begin at
once. Carr sons Of the regular and
voluL teer soldiers will remain in
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines.
Manila and Porto Rico VII be gov
erned through the military arm at
pre:ent and pro ably the authority
which the United States exerts in
| Cuba will be by the same method.
| This state of things is likely to con-
tinue until congress meets. 1t is I'M
derstood in the war department that
F., the Spanish soldiers in all places over
which the United States exercise
authority will be virtually prisoners
Of war, and under the orders of the
United States officers in c-mmand.
The war department is now exercising
every effort in the direction of the
| care of the sick a I'd wounded soldiers
and plans are making to afford the
troops more comforts.

THEY'RE UNCIVILIZED.
So Milwaukee Laborites Term the
Oshkosh Mill Owners,

Milwaukee, Aug. 13.-The first of
a series Of indignation meetings
throughout the state to protest
against the action of the Oshkosh
authorities and mill owners against
the striking woodworkers of that city
was held in Central Park last night.
The meeting was under the auspices
OF the state federation of labor and
the federated trades council. Only
about $50 persons were in attendance.
Albert Beglnger, one of the striking
woodworkers Of Oshkosh, made the
chief address in which he reviewed
the situation of the woodworkers
from 1892 when wages ranged from
81 to S1.75 per day down to the pres
ent time, when the pay of the men is
from 60 cents to S1.25 for ten hours
work. Other speakers were Frank ].
Weber, state organ ger of the state
federation Of labor, VIM Beimdiecke
and Howard futile. Resolutions
were passed condemning the author
tiles and mill owners of Oshkosh as
un-American, uncvilized and enemies
OF our noble inst tutions and as not
fit TO hold in their hands the au-
thCrity CT the law and that 1--WE do
condemn their methods as intuman
and barbarious, becoming to Spa n,
but not to free American citizens"

A FIGHT SUNDAY.
Spanish and American Forces Have
a Skirmish.

Ponce, Aug. 16.-Gel. Schwan's
coulmn was attacked Sunday between
Mayaguez and Lares. AS the 18th
Infantry under Col. Burke was de-
scending the valley Of the Rio Grand
it was fired upon from a hillside by
a force of 1900 Spaniards who were
retreating toward the north. The fire
vas l--urned and the Spanish re-
pulsed with, it is believed, consider
able loss. Col. Soto, commander of
the Mayaguez district, was wounded
and was afterwards overtaken in
wayside cottage. He was attended
by two sergeants who surrendered.
The Americans suffered no loss. The
artillery and cavalry were MT en-
gagged. Gen. Schwan had not re-
ceived the news of the signing of the
protocol when the action
occurred, but obtained it last
evening. Reports from Gen. Miles
are meager.

FIRED ON BY HAVANA
SPANISH BATTERY THROWS BIG
SHELLS AT OUR SHIPS.
THE SAN FRANCISCO HIT
Hole Foot in Diameter Torn in the
Stern of the Flagship-Engines
Turn on to Full Speed to Garry the
Vessels Out of Range-Enemy
Couldn't Resist Temptation.

Key west, Aug. l4.-The flagship
San Francisco, monitor Minatanomah
and auxiliary yacht Sylvia were fired
upon by Havana batteries shortly be-
fore 5 o'clock Friday morning. One
ten Or twelve-inch shell struck Tie
San Francisco in the stern as she
turned to get away out of range, and
tore a hole about a foot in diameter,
completely Wrecking Commodore
Howelfs quarters and smashing his
bookcase to fragments. Nobody was
injured and, being under orders not
to attack the batteries, the ships re-
treated as fast as their engines could
carry them. The flagship and Sylvia
lay not more than a mile from MORO
castle and the Miantonomah lay about
three-quaters Of a mile to the rear of
the others. All were within range OF
the Spanish batteries, and the tempta-
ton was too strong to be resisted.
At the first gilmmer of dawn the
lookout on the flagship saw jet
of smoke from one of morro's big
guns. Almost before he could report
ten and twelve-inch shells were
screaming all around the ships. The
Spaniards had the range and were
apparently grinly in earnest in their
last efforts to wreak injury on the
enemy. The shells fell between the
San Francisco and Sylvia; some fell
short and a few went over them
Both swung around and made for the
s:a. 1t was then that shell struck
the San Frapcisco's stern and sent
the fragments into the after cabin,
