VETERANS OF THE SOUTH.

Ten thousand veterans and their
friends filled to overlooking the big
auditorium at Piedmont Park, Atlanta
yesterday morning and cheered the liv-
ing heroes of the Confederacy and the
names of the dead. Glowing tributes
were showered on the records and
achievements of the sons of the South
in the war with Spain.
When Gen. John B. Gordon entered
the hall the applause and cheering
were deafening. The General, when
he reached the platform, walked from
one side to the other, bowling his &C
acknowledgements again and again.
Rev. DR.. ]. William Jones, the chap
lain-general of the Confederacy, in
voked divine blessing upon the assem-.
blage, and welcoming addresses were
then delivered by Mayor Collier, Rep
resentative Thomas B. Fielder, Colonel
w. A. Hemphill and Governor Akin
son.
The Governors welcome was heart
lily received. After extending the free
dom of the State, city and the execu-
tive mansion, the Governor said:
ga great many people have miscon.
ccived our relations to the national
government When we surrendered to
the opposing forces we granted two
things-the negro as free man and
the adjustment of the doctrine of seces-
sion. But the State never did surren-
der the strict construction of the con-
stitution of the United States. When
ever this great question which divides
northern and southern statesmen is
submitted to the Supreme Court it has
always decided in favor of the southern
position.
Gen. Gordon, who was the next
speaker, arose amid deafeuing applause.
He returned thanks for the magnificent
reception given the veterans and after
paying a glowing tribute to the spirit
which actuated the eX-Confederates in
their reunions he referred to their 10y
atty to perpetual union of the States
and to the honor and glory of the re-
public and said that today the pres
ence and proves of her heroic soDs at
the front in the war with Spain was
demonstration of it. "Her Lee, her
Wheeler, her Bsgley, her Blue, her
Hobson, and her thousands of volun-
teers who sprang to arms at their coun-
try's call" the General said, "are an
swering from their camps from the
Philippines and from the jungles of
Cuba"
The Grafton OF the day was
delivered by General Charles E.
Hooker, of Mississippi. He said
there is not one Confederate but has
kept the terms OF his capitulation, said
the speaker. Referring to the surren
der at Appomattox, General Hooker
stated that some of the federal officers
desired to fire salute in honor of the
victory. Everything was in readiness

The DESTROYED Fleet.

NEW YORK, July 2l-A dispatch to
the Evening Journal from Cavite, under
date of July 18th, says divers have ex.
ahmed the bulls and interiors of the
Spanish warships sunk by Dewey's
squadron in Manila bay. They report
a scene of wreck, ruin and carnage.
The cruiser Reina Christina has all her
woodwork burned out and charred hu-
man remains were seen in several
places. The course of an S-inch shell is
clearly traced by a line of ruin extend
ing from her stern to andships. The
cruiser Castillo was less burned but was
terribly wrecked. There are plain
traces of where six big shells tore her
hull to pieces. The warship is now q
mass of twisted iron and char
red beams, complete wreck, much
like the Maine in Havana harbor.
Many of the bodies aboard are badly burned.
The Don Antonio de Ulloa did not burn.
she sank quickly, riddled to pieces by shells
of all sizes number OF the dead bodie. all
huddled together near the ladder leading TO
the superstructure shows that the men were
killed by shell as they were attempting to
lift the treasure chest TO the superstructurc
and save it. The description OF these ships
shows the state OF the remaining vessels of the
sunken Spanish squadron. Heaps of bodies
near the ladders leading to the engine rooms
of the ships show that the engineer forces
made a rush to escape but failed.

WHEN THE Confederate army surren-
dered at Appomattox, some unwise and
inconsiderate soldiers and officers of the
federal army commenced to fire q sa-
lutte to celebrate the victory, but Gen.
Grant, wiser, and therefore more mag
unanimous, respected the feelings of the
vauquished enemy, and had it stopped
at once. But the incidents attending
the surrender of the Spanish army at
Santiago show that Gen. Miles is not
the same sort OF man that Gen. Grant

The War Department has been Of
ficially informed OF the departure last
night of General Wilson's division

The division consists of l64 officers and
3.4O7 men. General Wilson's dispatch,
which is dated 7:15 o'clock last night,
states that transport No. p will be de-
3ayed until next high tide because OF
the ohstinecy of the mules on board.
There are 900 of them.
A dispatch was received at the Navy
Department this morning from Admiral
Sampson stating that progress in rails
ing the Maria Teresa is very satsfaC-
tory. The company thinks the ship
will he raised by Sunday next. No
further information regarding the other
ships. Board of officers are examining
the Reins Mercedes to-day. She will
probably also be raised.
Notwithstanding what everybody
now knows about the Cuban insur-
gents Senator Foraker has not forsaken
them. He says: ''If there has been a
breach between the American and Gu
ban forces, it is most unfortunate.
There was no change until one day it
was stated that Garcia refused to obey
an order to prevent with 5000 men the
eutrsnce OF Pando into Santiago with
5000.
The raiding squadron under Commo.
dore Watson has been disbsnded. Some

THURSDAY EVENING. JULY 81, 1855

AS EXPECTED, the mere rumor that
Italy would enforce the collection OF
her claim against the United States OF
Colombia, reused some of the jingoes OF
this country to demand that such al
tempted enforcement be resisted by
this government, in defense OF the
Monroe doctrine, of non-interference by
the monarchical powers Of Europe with
the affairs of the western hemisphere
Europe must not interfere with mat
ters relating to any part OF the western
hemisphere, but the United States must
be allowed, not only to interfere with
the most important affairs OF the east
ern hemisphere, but even to seize and
hold whole groups of islands there, con-
tsiuing commercial cities and seventeen
million of people. Well, the jingoes
are in the majority now, and the ma
iority must always have their way, in
country of unrestricted suffrage.

WITH THE pace at which the war
is progressing. the calling Of a new

with the receipts from the war revenue

cease, the enlarged expenditures on &C

sioners and the large garrisons that will
have to be maintained in foreign con-
quered territory will continue the neces'

ALMOST THE only people who have
caped the taxes imposed by the "war

millers choose to make 1t so; camp out
fits include cooking apparatus that can
be carried on the back of one man;
the canning Of meats, vegetables, and
fruits, the desccation of other articles
OF food, and the general cheapening OF
many things that were luxuries few
years ago, make it possible to live In
camp almost as in a hotel. The SUBJ
stitution of aluminium for iron in uten-
sils Is another advantage. and in gen.
eral there is tendency to both light
ness OF outfit and extension Of proper
ties contained in 1t.
In addition to the articles provided
by the government in its clothing and
ration allowances, the man with gun
is now allowed to buy and have pipes,
tobacco, soap, writing materials, pens.
basins, backing brushes, silk handker-
chiefs, matches, towels, and an addi-
ton to his menu is cheese, canned
goods, dried fruits, deviled ham, pre-
serves, white sugar, lime juice, Wor-
cestershire sauce, pickles, jam, ginger,
spices, and cranberry sauce. Rum Is
discountenanced in hot countries, for
1t encourages sunstroke and intensifies
other troubles peculiar to the climate.
