LETTER FROM LIEUTENANT CARTER.
SEDALIA, Mo-, May II, 1898.


Editor Intelligencer.
We got a big send off at Higginsville
Thursday night; 1000 people were pres
ent from all over the county; Dixie
was cheered to the echo; every town
along the route turned out with anvils
and guns aud gave us a hearty reception.
The people of Higginsville presented US
with a silk flag, and the ladies of the
town furnished US enough ratious to last
two days. The boys are in excellent
spirits, and appreciate the treatment they
received.
Left HigginsvilIe at 1921 p. m. Eugene
Waymau and Mike Morris were left
behind, but will come down Friday
morning and join us in st. Louis Friday
night.
We laid over at Ssdalia Thursday night
until 1915. We were Joined by the rest
of the regiment from Kansas City. The
boys were met all along the route by
relatives and friends. and some of the
partings with relatives, friends, and par
ticularly "best girls" were rather hard
on the nerves. A number of boys drew
their girls up to the car windows and
kissed them goodbye. The "dear things"
feet dangled in the air and they kicked,
but did not object. The boys were not
allowed to leave the train on the way
down, for fear some of them would get
left.
Arrived at Jefferson Barracks Friday
morning, with men in good trim. We
did not starve on the route, like the Third
regiment, thanks to the ladies of Hig-
ginsville.
l enclose the speech of acceptance made
by Capt. J. J. Fulkerson, on presentation
of the flag to Company "K' by MIR. JAS.
p. Chinn, on behalf of the people OF Hig-
ginsville:
81 deem the duty of receiving this flag,
in behalf of Company X, my highest
privilege. Radiant and glorious in it's
beauty, it is to US the emblem OF the
sentiment of the human heart.
1t is the banner of hope for the oppressed
gift. / pledge you for this company hat
1t shall never be trailed in the dust or
trodden under foot by any foe, SO long as
any member OF this company shall remain
alive. When this war is over and we
r~eturn-if SO be we do Teturn-we hold
ourselves in honor bound to return this
fiag-tarnished perhaps it may be by
torn it may be by deadly missiles of a
ruthless enemy-but every mark upon it
shall be commemorative of duty we'll
done, of some deed vigorously performed,
the pride of which we trust may repay
these dear people for their confidence and
their beautiful gift"

Commodore Dewey attacked the
Spanish position at Cavite this morn
ing. He swept five times along the
line and scored one of the most bril-
liant successes in modern warfare.
That our loss is trifling adds to the
pleasure of the victory without detract-
Ing from its value. The number of hits
our vessels received prove how brave
and stubborn was the defense made by
the Spanish forces.
Miraculous as 1t may appear, none
Of our men were killed, and only eight
were wounded. Those who were
wounded suffered only slight injuries.

Rocky Ford enterprise., 1898-05-12

The Concord's guns doomed out re-
ply to these batteries with two shots.
No more were fired because Commo-
dore Dewey could not engage with
these batteries without sending death
and destruction into the crowded city.
As we neared Cavite two very pow
erful submarine mines were exploded
ahead of the flagship. This was six
minutes past 5 o'clock. The Spaniards
evidently had measured our position.
Immense volumes of water We're
thrown high in the air by these de-
stroyers, but no harm was done to our
ships.
Only n few minutes later the shore
battery ut Cavite Point sent over the
flagship shot that nearly hit the bat
terry in Manila, but soon the guns got
n better range and the shells began to
strike near us or burst close aboard
from both the batteries and the Span
ish vessels.
The heat was intense. Men stripped
off all clothing except their trousers.
AS the Olympia drew nearer all was
as silent on board as If the ship had
been empty, except for the whirr of
blowers and the throb of engines. Sud-
denly n shell burst directly over us.
er fiye-inch guns came n hoarse cry.
"Remember the Maine," arose from the
throats of 500 men ut the guns. This
watchword was caught up in turrets
and fire rooms, wherever seaman or
fireman stood at his post.
"Remember the Maine" rung out de-
f1ance and revenge. Its utterance
seemed unprecedented, but was evil

that the moment had come to make

Washington, May 0.-In answer to
repeated requests from all sections OF
the country for information as to
where the various organizations OF
state troops which are being mustered
into the United States service are to
be sent, Secretary Algcr has fur
nIshed the Associated Press a state
mcnt showing the destination of the
volunteer troops The list is subject
to correction. Three points are to re-
ceive the greater number of troops
Washington, Chickamauga and San
Francisco. 1t appears that the ami
mating purpose of the department In
making the assignments was to divide
the volunteer forces in such way as
to be available for three distinct pur-
poses. The first regiments raised in
each state, mustered In and found
ready for service are to be sent to
Chicllamauga to be clicked into
shape" and thence sent to Tampa and
other Gulf ports, including Mobile,
New Orleans and Galveston, prepara-
tory to embarking for Cuba.
The second division of regiments
goes to Washington, where they are
to form n grand reserve ready to re-
inforce the Cuban army Mt any mo-
ment,, to man the coast defenses or for
other purposes. The third division Is
to remain for the present In the states
in which the organizations are mus
tered, subject TO call for duty In the

poses. Possibly they may never be

THREE POSITIONS OPEN.
ResignRtions Have Left an OpGning for
Officers In the First Regiment.

Officers In the First Regiment.
Denver, May 1s.-1ne Republican
this morning says:
Governor Adams has three .Dpoint-
ments to make before the official staff
of the regiment will be full ana ready
to 20 to war. The vacancies were
caused by designations since III lde his
appointments of regimental and field of
ficers.
The most important appointment of
the three that he has to make Is that
of chaplain to fill the position tnat was
held by Rev. Charles l.. Hyde of
Longmont. Mr.. Hyde was ml,le chap
lain by Governor Adams last Monday.
but he left the camp and returned to
his home in LOngmont when the mem.
bers of his company refused to volun-
tcer because they did not get the Of
ficers they wanted to. Mr.. Hyde
thought it his duty to go to war with
the men from his city, that he might
look after their spiritual welfare, and
said that, inasmuch as the men were
not going, there was no reason for his
going, hence he left for home with
his fellow tOwnsmen.
The two other vacancies that the gov
ernor has to fill are those of Second
Lieutenant j. B. Carr Of the Longmont
company, and l.. +. McGwire, also of
Longmont, who was captain. Both
men rendered their designations to the
governor yesterday. Carr resigned be-
cause there was such protest among
the men at his appointment. He will
reinlist as private in company Il.
McGwire resigned because of physi-
cal disability, having lost leg ut the
time of the Leadville trouble.

COmmemOrnted.

Denver. May 1O.-The Republican
this morning says:
Saturday will he Dewey dny In
Denver. The whole state will be ask
ed to participate In the celebration of
the victory at Manila.
Governor Adams. Mayor McMurrny
and n number Of citizens and railroad
officials met last night nt the residence
OF W. +. Bailey and decided on the
day to honor the hero of the glorious
victory. and made n rough outline of
the program to be carried through.
The governor has secured the con-
sent of the United Stntcs army ofii-
clals to have the First Regiment Colo
great procession In the afternoon.
The veterans of the late war, Fed
cral and Conference.-The blue and the
gray-will also he requested to march
shoulder to shoulder, and that In IT.
self should make the day memorable.
All organized bodies will be part OF
the demonstration. Word hns been re-
celved that places outside of Denver
will send representations from patriOt-
ic societies to swell the thrOng.
The railroads have arranged n spc-
sial fare which will amount to less
than n single fare for the round trip.
and the roads expect u large amount
of traffic.
The governor and the mayor will
march carrying flags. and they respect
fully request that every citizen who
tan do so will follow their example.
On Saturday. too. Ralph Voorhees,.
representing the Sons OF the Revolu-
ti0n. will present the First regiment.
Colorado volunteers, with u regimental
flag, on which will he cmblazoned be-
fore its return to the state the Vie
tories 1t has taken part In. 1t IL pos
sible that the regiment will be rccog-
niZed In other ways.
Sufficient bands will be engaged for
the largest procession that can be
formed and there Is every prospect
that 1t will break all records.
The park commissioners. ever ready
to join with the public, have arranged
for magnificent display OF fire works
on the lake on that night. They have
promised to make It the greatest ever
seen. and they can be trusted to keep
their word. Figures dealing with the
victory being celebrated will be very
prominent, and only the lack OF time
and the facilities will limit the fire
works display.
The State Capitol building and other
public buildings will be beautifully H.
Illuminated.
