IYTLE. Ga, May 25.-The night scenes at
Chickamauga this week surpassing in
their charm to an appreciative eye. Such
a scene as that Of last night, with a thin veil
OF mist dripping away from the crescent
moon and the glimmer of faint light among
the deep-shadowed forests. the snatches of
robust song along the roadside and the
sweeter tones of some far-away voices give
to soldier life a glamour which the garish
sun of midday too cruelty dispels. Even the
night bray of the army mule cannot shock
the mood into which the soldier falls when
looking over the fields and trees, out into
the starry horizon toward whence the d.
rection of home lies. At night the we'll
trarnped roads of the battle ground are
dark caverns. into which the traveller con-
tinues to plunge with trepidation, KNOWING
not what a misstep Of his horse may cosf
him. foundering now and then to the edpa
of the bordering forest, only to be halted
by the lusty cry of the guard whose move

Tribune from Washington says: As far
as known the three American squadrons
concentrated of Cuba are still maintain
ing blockade OF the north coast, and
guarding the southern approaches TO the
Yucatan passage at the western end, and
the Windward passage at the eastern end
OF the island.
No encounter with Admiral Cervera's
vessels is looked for within two or three
days, nor is 1t yet apparent that the
Spanish commander will risk battle
except under conditions which he can
hlmself determine.
The Oregon, II she left Bahia at the
time reported In the press dispatches, has
not yet had time TO make the run from
Bahia TO Barbados, and Is probably still
steaming north somewhere of the Guai'

that the big battleship will report ulti-
mately to the navy department, not from
Key West, but from some harbor much
higher up the Atlantic coast.
