GEN. GOnDON's BRIGADE.
Its Colonies Praised for Their Efici-
ency.

encys
Savannah, Ga, Aug q, 1898 Editor
Morning News: About a week ago you
published an interview with Capt. Beirne
Gordon on his return from visit to Jack
sonville, In which there were three items
I wish 10 correct. First after praising the
present condition of my brigade, it gives
me all the credit for its efficient condition.
This does injustice to the colonies, when
1 took command of TIE brigade, June 49,
the Second Texas Regiment, under Col
Oppenheimer and the Second Louisiana
Regiment, under Col. Wood, constituted
the brigade. Both regiments had been in
service more than a month, were Wen drill
ed in the movements they were instructed
to practice and understood the require
ments of military life.
Second, The Second Alabama Regiment
Joined the brigade about June 20. They
had received no arms, nor uniforms from
the government, and from their colonies
name being Cox they were jokingly called
CoXey's army.
No regiment has been more assiduous in
perfecting Itself, and when Gen. Fitzhugh
Lee reviewed the first division, Aug. IS,
there was no regiment which exceled the
Second Alabama
Third. 1t was estimated there were 3 $500
men in the review of the brigade by the
division commander, Gen. Keifer. To be
accurate there We're not more than about
200 present in the review. The Texas
and Alabama regiments are full to the
maximum of 106 men to each company,
but the Louisiana regiment is not, because
being entirely from the city of New Or
leans, recruiting was stopped when there
was an alarm about yellow fever In the
Gulf states. The brigade, after furnish
ing hospital attendants, ambulance men
and discharging some who couldn't stand
military life, only numbered 3,723 aggre-
gate. From this, you must deduct the
cooks, clerks, teamsters, sick, two com
panies on provost guard in the city and
three companies on regimental camp
guard.
The rest of the article did justice to the
brigade. II is a splendid body of young
men, of which any state may well be
proud. The Second Texas was one of the
eighteen regiments selected by Gen. Wade
to go to Porto Rico when Gen. Miles called
for reinforcements. When there seemed
to be some difficulty about troops to go to
Santiago to relieve the regulars, the Sec
ond Alabama volunteered 10 go. OF the
Second Louisiana over 80 per cent. have
had yellow fever or been present in one
or more epldemics without having it, and
the war department recognizes it as being
genuinely immune"
If. as is confidently expected Gen. Lee
is sent to Cuba with the Seventh Army
Corps, you may rely upon the six regi-
ments now in the first division, all of
them from Alabama, louisiana and Texas,
viii go with him. Yours respectfully.
William w. Gordon,
Brig. Gen. U. 8. Volunteers.

A CORRESPONDENT IN cuBA.
Edward Marshall Writes of His
"RecoIIectiOns,' of Santiago.


Edward Marshall. who was wounded at
Guasina, has written his ''Recollections"
for re September Scribner, from which
the following extracts are made
Il saw many men shot. Every one went
down in a lump. without cries, without
jumping up in The air, without throwing
up hands They just went down ike clods
in the grass. 1t seemed to me that the
terrible thud with which they struck the
earth was more penetrating than the sound
of guns. Some were only wounded; some
were dead
There is much that Is awe-inspiring
about the death of soldiers on the battle
field Almost all OF us have seen men
and women die. but they have died in
their carefully arranged beds with doc
tors daintily boarding the Pickering spark;
with loved ones clustered about. But
death from disease is less awful than
death from bullets. On the battle field
there are no delicate scientific problems
of strange microbes to be solved. There
is no pettiug, no coddling-nothing, moth
ing, nothing but death. The man lives,
he is stropg he is vital, every muscle in
him is at its fullest tension when, sud
denly "chug!" he is dead, That "chug"
OF the bullets striking flesh is nearly al
ways plainly audible. But bullets which
are billeted so far as / know, do not sing
on their way They go silently, grimly
to their mark, and the man is lacerated
and torn or dead. I did not hear the bull
let shrek that killed Hamilton Fish; 1
did not hear the bullets shrek which
struck the many others who were wound
ed while | was near them; l did not hear
the bullet Shrek which struck me.
There is one incident of the day which
shines out in my memory above all the
others now as ! lie in a New York hos
pital writing. 1t occurred at the field
hospital About a dozen of us were lying
there. A continual chorus of means rose
through the tree branches overhead. The
surgeons, with hands and barred arms
dripping, and clothes literally saturated,
with blood were straining every nerve to
prepare the wounded for the journey down
to Sfboney. Behind me lay Capt Nc
Clintock with his lower leg bones literally
ground to powder. He bore his pain as
CALAMITY as he had led his men, and that
is saying much. 1 think Maj Brode
was also there. 1t was a doleful group.
Amputation and death stared its members
in their gloomy faces.
Suddenly a voice started softly,
My country tbs of thee.
Sweet land of liberty,
"Other voices took 1t up:
Land where my fathers died
Land-of-the-Pilgri s-prde,
THE quivering, quavering chorus, pune
tuated by groans and made spasmodic by
pain, trembled up from that little group
of wounded Americans In the midst of
the Cuban solltude-the pluckiest, most
heartfelt song that human beings ever
sang.
There was one voice that did not quite
keep up with the others. 1t was so weak
that 1 did not hear it until all the rest
had finished the line:
Let Freedom ring.
Then hating, struggling, faint, 1t re-
peated slowly;
Land-of-the-Pilgrim pride,
Let Freedom

more son had died as died the fathers"

With five points the best of the Blues In
dianapolis cannot afford to lose any more
games than Mannings team. Columbus,
Milwaukee and Detroit will all hustle Kan
sas City from now on, and when the cham
pions strike that city for the flnish Sept.
49, 19 and 20, they are likely to have as much
margin as they have to-day. If they do
the Blues will once more have to yield the
pennant to indianapolis. No games are
scheduled for to-day, though Kansas City
and ST. Joe will probably play off a post
poned one. Tomorrow Indianapolis is
scheduled at Minneapolis. Milwaukee at st.
Paul, Columbus at ST. Joseph and Detroit
at Kansas City. The fans will watch the
returns anxiousfy for the next two weeks.
