SENATOR BACON's PROTEST..
Vainly Kicks Against Colonel Ray
Third Regiment Going to Santiago.


Macon, Ga, August 5.-Senator Ba-
con to-day sent il long telegram to the
War Department protesting against the
movement of Colonel Rays Third regi-
ment, United States volunteers to San
tiago de Cuba. Following was his tele-
gram:
"Macon, Ga, August ;, 1898.
Hon. Russel A. Alger, Secretary of
War, Washington:
''It is distinctly understood through
out the whole country that the Third
regiment, United States volunteers, al
though called immune" are no more
immune from yellow fever than any
other volunteer regiment. 1t is com
posed almost exclusively of Georgians,
nearly all of whom are very young men
and many of them minors. When enlist
ed. the Government subjected them to n
rigid physical examination, but no proof
was demanded or desired as to their i'm
munity from yellow fever. 1t is not
even pretended that Il man in the regi-
ment has ever had yellow fever. To
send these young men and boys to San
tiago ut this time, with no enemy to
fight, is to expose them to the same
deathly peril from yellow fever as is
now said to confront those who having
rcaped the honors are now demanding
to be sent to IL northern seaside. If
more troops were needed now at Santa
go. or if fighting were to be done the
order for this regiment would be APP
proved by all, but it is wholly differ
cnt matter to send them into Il pestil-
ence that other soldiers who are prob
ably more nearly immune than they,
may be removed from the danger. A
solemn sense of my duty to those young
men impelS me, therefore. to request
most earnestly and urgently that the
order for their removal to Santiago be
revoked. | send this without the knowl-
edge of any officer or man in the regi-
ment.
(Signed.) "a. O. BACON,
Omitted States Senator"
Against this Colonel Ray. who had not
been consulted most vigorously protest
ed, saying it was an unwarranted in
reference on the Senator's part He
declared his regiment had not been or
ganized on an immune basis, and that
it was not Georgia regiment at all
All the officers of the regiment signed
protest against any revocation of or
ders, and as neither Senator Bacon nor
Colonel Ray have received any informa-
tion to the contrary the regiment will
move tomorrow night to Savannah and
sail from that city Sunday morning for
Santiago.
