 FOR GENERA
His Noble Defense of Santiago Causes Much Joy in
 Spain.

Madrid, June 4.-2 D. m.-The minis.Cr of marine, Captain Aunon, went up to the pal ace at noon today and read to the queen regent an official despatch on the subject of the recent fight at Santiago de Cuta, the text of which Is as follows:
 At 3 o'clock on Friday morning one of the enemys large cruisers and an auxiliary cruiser attempted to force an entrance into the harbor, but the artillery of Fort M ITO, the guns of the cruiser Reina Mercedes, a battery from the Reina Mercedes which had been placed in the Sooara fort, a tor- p-do boat destroyer and q torpedo beat opened fire on the enemy.
 "The American cruiser, the Mer. imac. was sunk by our vessels and torpedoes and the large American cruiser was repulsed at the entrance to the channel.
 "The Reina Mercedes captured one ieu- tenant and seven sailors of the Merrimac. The fate of the rest of the crew Is not known."
 The official dispatch adds that twenty American ships are now before Santiago.
 The queen regent it Is announced here, has ordered that a message of cor gratul-- ton be telegraphed to tn defenders of Santiago de Cuba.
 D. m.-The minister of marine later in the day said the wreck of the Merlin ac would rot interfere with navigation at the entrance of the harbor, and he added that the coal on board the Merrmac can be re- covered and used by the Spaniards.
 In the chamber of deput es Senor Silvela, the conservative leader, congratulated the government on the "good news from San tago de Cuba" and Senor Salmonson, the republican leader, proposed that the n- gratulations of the house be sent to the Spanish naval and military leaders in Cuba. The motion was carried.

AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM

Mrs. W. B. PAXTON, Youngstown, North Dakota, writes about her strug. gle to regain health after the birth oi her little girl:
 "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:--It is with pleasure that add my testimony to your list, hoping that it may induce others to avail themselves of your val. uable medicine.
 After the birth of my little girl, three years ago, my health was very poor. I had leucorrhna badly, and terrible bearing-down pain which gradually grew worse, until could do no work. Also had headache nearly all the time, and dizzy feelings. Mem situations were very profuse, appear. ing every two weeks.
 "Itook medicine from good doctor, but it seemed to do no good. I was becoming alarmed over my condition, when read your advertisement in a paper. I sent at once for a bottle oi Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com. ponnd, and after taking two-thirds oi the bottle felt so much better that send for two more. After using three bottles felt as strong and we'll as any one.
 ''I think it is the best medicine for female weakness ever advertised, and recommend it to every lady meet suf fering from this trouble"
 Maternity is a wonderful experience and many women approach it wholly unprepared. Childbirth under right conditions need not terrify women.
 The advice of Mrs. Pinkham is freely offered to all expectant mothers, and her advice is beyond question the most valuable to be obtained. If Mrs. Pax. ton had written to Mrs. Pinkham be. fore confine ment she would have been saved much suffering. Mrs. Pinkham's address is Lynn, Mass.

He Was Ordered to Report to
 Camp Yesterday.
ENTIRE NEGRO REGIMENT
Will Most Probably Be Formed Under the Sec ond Call for voIunteers-Companies of Regiments Organized Will Be Re-
 cruited to Maximum.
speclal plspatch to rhe Aee-Herald.

Special Dispatch to The Age-Herald.
 Montgomery, Ala, June 4.-Robert Gage, who was a few days ago appointed by the governor to command a negro company from Mobile, has wired the governor that he has his company organized with full quota of men. He was ordered to report to camp today
 The governor decline sto make any pos- tive statement with regard to how he will organize the 1,5OO troops provided for in. the second call on Alabama. but 1t is un-i doubtedly his intention at this time to use about half of the number in recruiting the companies in the two regiments already organized up to 1O6 men, and to secure seven or eight other companies of negroes and complete the formation of a negro regl- fnent. The governor would, of course, pre- fer to call for battalion of white volun- teers, but if he should it might happen that this white battalion would be detailed to join with the negro battalion now in camp in Mobile in the formation of third regd- ment of Alabama volunteers, and this would occasion all sorts of entanglements.
 Regular Army Officers
 In case the governor determines to form a negro regiment he will equip it through out with field and staff officers from the United States army and will give the posi- tions to Alabama graduates of the West Point academy. It is whispered about the capitol that Captain Sibert, formerly of Gadsden, will be made colonel; Captain Matt Steele formerly of Huntsville, lieu tenant colonel; Lieutenant Sam Jones of Montgomery, major; and Lieutenant Bull lard of Lee, who Is now in charge of the battalion at Mobile, major.

Church Accused of the Crime md
One is Under Arrest.

NEW YORK, August 22.-The American
Missionary Association has received dis
patches stating that the Rev. J. B. Fletch-
er, Congregational minister, and one of
its missionaries, has been shot while at
tempting to organize a Congregational
church at Smiley, Ga, which is about twen-
ty miles from his home at Hagan, Ga.

the church, which has been carried on for
several months. While in the pulpit he was
shot through the window, his body being
riddled with 107 buckshot and several small
shots. They entered his hips and thigh,
one lodging in his left hand and five in his
hight hand. He tainted as he fell
His wife, with the assistance of others,
miles to his home. His condition is serious.
although the expectation is that he Will
recover. But two shot have been removed
from his body. One of his assailants has
been arrested The others have been To-
Gated. and it is believed that they will be
arrested in short time.
Mr. Fletcher's wife was made tempora rily
insane by the occurrence, but has regained
her reason. Mr.. Fletcher announces his
purpose to prosecute his assailants at what
ever cost to himself
The would-be assassins are said to be
colored officials of a Methodist church but
the officials of the association are careful
to acquit Methodism of any responsibility
of the crime
A report concerning the occurrence will
be unquestionably made at the fifty-second
annual meeting of the association in Con-
cord, n. H., the third week in October.
