DEAR BRo.-This morning while

well. There are IL of us boys on
picket where | am, Homer is one
of them. We may shoot at any.
thing we see. The way we work
it four of US boys lay down behind
trees and rocks and watch for 8
hours at time, while the other 8
sleep. We have heard that peace
is declared, whether it is 80 or not,
we, the End Battalion expect to
have another battle this afternoon
august 12th) up in the mountains.
The Spaniards have rifle-pits and
entertainments. We have five
dynamite guns, we are going to
throw some dynamite shells at
them and scare them out of their
hiding-places, and then go after
them with our rifles. The dyna.
mite shells tears holes in the earth
as large as a house, so you may
know what they would do to pit.
Money here is thing of the past,

got so cents Spanish money. You
can sell hard-tack here for one
cent each, flour is $37 per bbl., corn
meal IA cents per Id. l suppose you
heard about the battles we had?
was in the worst one. Two of our
companies were, out on a skirmish.
The Spaniards began firing at
them. We were camped along the
road about 3 miles away, and heard
them shooting. Before long here
came some of them running like
flends, they said the Spaniards
were slaughtering A. and G. COM
panies like sheep. About 90 passed
telling awful tales. Companies II.
l. and M. started to the rescue. M.
is our company; there was only
about 80 men of our company, the
rest were on picket, Homer was on
picket. We went as fast as we
could. The Spaniards were in a
block-house letting it into A and q.
Our men could not see them so
they did not shoot. at last we got
there after passing or wounded
men. Our Major asked us if we
would climb the mountain so we
could get at them. Company M
volunteered to go. Soon we were
up on the ridge and down on our
bellies, pretty soon the bullets be-
gan to fly around our heads. But
/ company f was coming with the
dynamite guns, she threw shells
at the place where the block house
was supposed to be and the Span
iards began to run, we fred four
volleys at them, and such running
you never saw. Remember Co. M
did the shooting. 1t was not long
until companies A and G came out
OF the woods and we found that
only five were hurt. None killed,

A Letter From Porto Rico.
GUAYAMA, Aug, II 1898:

Homer A. and Porter e. Wright to Rev. w.
II Wright.
~ DEAR BRO.-This afternoon l
will try and write you few lines
to let you know of our where
abouts, and what we are doing. /
can't write very steady as my
fingers are sore from patching my
pants without thimble. / wrote
you few lines on the ship, since
then we have come ashore, and
moved twice toward the North,
and we are now camped about 81
miles from the coast among the
mountains. Our regiment has been
in couple of battles. When the
first was in progress, our company
was unloading the ship, they drove
the Spaniards northward and took
town of about 5000 inhabitants.
The next battle, part of our COM
pany was in it, the rest of us were
on out.posts. 1 was on high
bluff and could watch the move
lnents on both sides, They were
from to q miles from me. Porter
shot times at them, they routed
the Spaniards from block house
and drove them farther back into
the mountains. The Spaniards do not
seem to have much sand, for they
fire and run. They do not aim but
bring their gun to the hip and fire.
There were none of our men killed
and only five wounded, none serious.
We have new guns that shoot 6
times. They throw, a steel ball 2000
yards. Yesterday some of our boys
were trying them, and at distance
of 1000 yards tho bullets passed
through one-half inch wagon tire
and about two inches into solid
oak. So that you can see we can
defend ourselves If we can see the
enemy at all. Our new bayonets
are a knife about sixteen inches
long, that make an ugly looking
weapon when put on the end of
gun. We have plenty of good fresh
meat and some roasting ears, the
meat is mutton, veal and chickens
that the boys get when out scout
ing. Tropical fruits, such as pine
apples, cocoanuts, oranges, lemons,
and mangoes, something like a
papaw. are plenty here. We haye
been keeping well and feel good,
the climate is warm to be sure but

WE HAVE felt very much en-
couraged in the past week or two
in the fact that our stock is sought
by unfriendly buyers. We hardly
knew whether our stock was at
par or Jersey, until some of our
kind friends (?) have been hobnob-
ing to purchase some of our old
mortgage notes. This encouraged
us much. We feel that our stock is
a Durham sure now. We are in
demand. They want US. But the
only obsticle is that the sinister that
is trying to buy so much, hasn't a
dollar on th,never did and never
will haye. Such vacuums need not
give themselves any uneasiness
about us. We don't care who holds
the notes, we will meet them when
due. No body can squeeze us. We
are on Easy street, and will be
here when these busy Holsters are
being kept by their more prosper
Gus relatives, and the wind has a
chilling effect on their scarcely
covered nakedness.

They Deny That a Live Man Was
Sent to the Tent for the Dead.
Jacksonville, Fla. Sept. THE sensa-
tional report that gained currency here
this afternoon and which was telegraphed
over the country. to the effect that mem
Der of the Fourth Virginia found himself
transferred to the tent for the dead after
an attack OF fever, is denied in toto by
Maj. ]. R. Kean, surgeon in charge of
the Second division hospital, where the
thing was reported to have occurred.
The medical staff are indignant at the
charge, which they say is baseless and i'm
possible.
An examination of the record of the pa
tent in the hospital shows that his tenn
perature at no time In his sixteen-days
stay in the hospital was above 102 and
run most of the time below 100, and at no
time was he seriously Ill.
The matter is 10 be thoroughly investi-
gated by the medical corps and the charge
will have to be established before a court
martial.

DON'T WANT GARRISON DUTY.

Third Regiment Officers Likely to
Resign Their Commissions.
Griffin, Ca, Sept 7.-Col. Gambler has
not received any orders from the war de-
partment ordering him to Jacksonville. Tt
Is thought by some the Third Regiment
win remain here for some time to come.
Few are anxious to go to Florida, and it
is known that a number of officers will
resign their positions rather than do gar
rison duty. All seem satisfied with Camp
Northen, as it is both comfortable and
healthy.
When the telephone message from At
lanta was received Saturday it was be-
lieved to be official, and little rejoicing
was heard. But now it begins to look as
though the message was a fake, and no
orders had been or would be issued for
their removal.
There is very little sickness in camp
now, and those who are sick are respon-
sible for same from imprudence.
Batteries A and B expect each day to
receive their pay and furloughs, when
they will return home and spend thirty
days. Capt. Walker of Battery is how
in Savannah, called there by the death of
a relative.
Lieut. Palmer of Battery B has been
on the sick list for couple of days. The
batteries are under no strict military rule
now. The men are taking everything easy
while waiting for their furloughs.

Atlanta. Ga, Sept. Mr.. Clarence
knowles, who, as president of the Pied
mont Driving club, took up the cudgel
against the location of an army camp at
Piedmont Park, ana yesterday made an
unsuccessful attempt to get the directors
of the Chamber Of Commerce TO indorse
his protest, succeeded in bringing the di-
rectors of the driving club TO his back
to-day.
Pursuant TO the call of President
Knowles the directors of the driving club
held a meeting this morning and unani-
mously passed resolutions sustaining him
in his protest and declaring that the es-
adjustment Of a contemplated post at
Piedmont Park would be a dangerous nui-
sance, not only TO the members of the
club and their families, but also to that
whole section of the city adjacent to
Piedmont Park-that is the Peachtree
street district
The protest was put in due form and win
form the beginning of an active campaign
by the driving club and others against the
location of promised at Piedmont Park.
Piedmont Park Is about the only avail
able place about Atlanta for camp, and
if il is not located there it is not likely
that one will be established here at all
On this account the other side will also
make an aggressive claim for the carry
ing out of their plans, as they have been
agreed upon by the war department, and
between the two factions there is likely
to be some interesting intriguing.
