London, Aug. 10.-The correspondent
of The Times at Cavite. under date of
Aug. 1. says: Yesterday 1 visited
Camp Dewey and the American in
trenchments before Malate. Captain
Grant and Captain Young. of the Utah
artillery, were busily throwing UP ad-
vanced breastworks for guns. under
protection of the Nebraska volunteers.
From the upper floor Of a European
house. facing the alignment of the
earthworlxs, was observing the Span
ish positions. when a Nebraska sharp
shooter beside me fired the first shot
discharged by the Americans upon the
Spaniards. who were crouching into
the forward trench.
This was contrary to General Mer-
ritt's orders. He had forbidden an ag-
gressive attitude unless the Spaniards
advanced. The insurgents, now in force
inland on the right OF the American
lines, also opened fire, the Spaniards
replying brisl<ly with quick firing guns
and rifles, but their shooting was high
and their shots fell half a mile behind
the entertainments, where a Colorado
volunteer picket was hit by a Mauser
bullet.

GRAND REVIEW OF TROOPS.

Forty Thousand Men I'm q Military
Pageant nc Chickamauga.
ChickamauGa Park, Ca. Aug. 10
Not since General Sherman reviewed
the grand army at the close of the civil
war has there been such an imposing
and magnificent military pageant as
that witnessed en- the historic fields OF
Chickamaugas Park yesterday. An
army of 10000 men took part in the
great review. The regiments were
graded by divisions, and each division
was accompanied by its ambulance
train. At o'clock all the commands
formed in line of regiments in columns
of masses.
At the firing OF gun at $3.50 a. m.
the commands turned out in light
marching order. headed by General
Franks division, and proceeded in
the direction OF the reviewing stand in
the open near Snodgress hill. As Cen
eraI Franks division came into the
open the regiments moved forward in
the order which they are brigaded, and
passed the reviewing stand, company
at a time, until the whole army had
passed in review. The movement be-
gan at $50 a. m, and it was 1880 p. m.
before the last company passed the
stand.
The magnificent spectacle was Wit
messed by a large crowd of spectators.
who were thrilled with the scene as
the regiments marched by In the most
perfect order, keeping time to the mar
tial strains of a score of regimental
bands and field music organizations.
| 1t was a scene rarely witnessed in the
| history of a nation, and the cleverness
and the skill with which 1t was car
ried out was a high compliment to
both the men and officers in command.
General Breckenridge was no less
pleased and gratified than the specta-

in the vicinity of 3rd Streets between
Leigh and Duval. The fowl being
found in the morning with cut throat
minus blood. the conjectures as to the
cause of its demise were many and ex-
tremely varied,
On last Monday night, Mr.. @. H.
GIeen. who keeps a green gre Gerry on
Third Street, on hearing the noise
among his fowl, fastened TO his rear
room and found hiss hen with its head
drawn into hole beneath the flooring.
On pulling it quickly by the legs, out
came the head tightly clasped by a
mink. The hen WAS taken into the
store aud the mink followed later on,
ths superstition being to recapture his
prize. The doors were shut and after
a short, sharp and decisive battle the
mink was killed, and his body was on
exhibition Tuesday morning How his
minkship happened in the city is cloud
