P1 aises His Men for Their COURAGE
CheerfuIness and FOrtitude,

The following is Gen. Lawton's address
to his staff, part of which will shortly re-
turn home:
Headquarters I'd Division, 5th Army Corps
Santiago de Cuba, August IA 1S9S
Being ordered to other duty the under
signed hereby relinquishes the command of
the I'd Division of the 9TH Army Corps, and
in so doing desires to express to the officers
and enlisted men of his command his
thanks for and appreciation of the gallant
and soldierly manner in which the duties
and labors required of them have been per-
formed, the character of which is almost
unparalleled in severity, danger and impor-
tance.
The I'd Division. established a little mora
than two months ago, proceeded almost
Immediately to embark for the expedition
to Santiago. Arriving off that coast il was
the first to disembark and the first Ameri-
can military force to land on Cuban soil
without delay or waiting to secure rations
baggage, or other necessaries and conyen-
fences of any kind, the division proceeded
to Siboney, compelling the garrison there to
retire and capturing the town. The division
then resumed the advance toward Santiago,
labortng oay and night amid trying condi-
uonS, In marches, reconnoissances and
scouting, and while covering the advance
fighting the decisive battle of Ell Caney
Unique in the character of its defenses and
Importance of its situation. Ell Caney was
mitting Of no surrender and was carried by
a charge such as is made only by American
soldiers, killing, woun ling or capturing al
most every Spaniard.
Moving thence within an hour, without
one man uraCcCunted for, toward SANTIAGO
and taking up position on the right of the
army, and hastily intrenching, il was en-.
gagged with the enemy on the I'd of July
Extending to the right and covering the
Bay Of Santiago, and threatening the safe
ty of the Spanish ships, the latter sought
safety in flight to the sea.
Fighting by the daylight and digging
all night, the division pressed forward to
the right under the lines and to within $50
yards OF the enemy, the right resting on
the Bay of Santiago. The memora bic 18th
of July came, and with it the surrender of
the city and the Spanish army and later
the end Of the war with Spain.
when overtaken by tie dreaded fever
your courage, cheerfuiness and fortitude
did not forsake you. When the history of
the war for Cuban independence is written
the I'd Division will deserve and receive a

EXPORT TRADE.
Great Advance by the United States
and Drop by France.

United States Consul Morris, at Ghent,
has furnished the Sta-e Department with
some Interesting statistics concerning the
export trade Of the leading nations # the
wcrld for 1885, as compared with 1872.
from which it appears that In 1886 they
rated in the following order: England,
United States, Germany, France, Russia,
Austria Hungary ard Belgium. The most
remarkable feature OF the f5ure5 given, tha
ccnsul says, is the decrease in the trade OF
France, which has fallen from second 10
icurth place. The trade Of the United
States, on the contrary, increased more
rapidly than that of any other country, or
nearly $50 per cent IN the twenty-five years.
Besides the countries menuoned JAPAN
Australia and the East Indies hays in
gre eater or less degree. increased their ex-
pc rts. France alone, the consal saws, sees
its trade gradually declining in IN. volume
of the worlds commerce.

NEGRO AssAILED BY SOLDIERS.
Mai. Cheutham Prevented Lyme hing
by Displaying His Pistol.

Dan Thomas, negro crab fisherman,
was wounded and narrowly escaped lynch
ing at the hands Of $50 Tennessee soldiers
at San Francisco yesterday. Two men of
Troop of the regular cavalry which at
tempted to queiI the riot, were dragged
from their horses by the volunteers and
slightly injured in the tussle. The negros
house, a block and a half from the Pre-
sidio. was almost wrecked.
Officers Of the Tennessee regiment finally
sent the men back To quarters and took
the bleeding negro TO the guard house for
protection.
The trouble began in a saloon. VIII Da-
Wis, a private Of Company l., ist Tennessee
Regiment. was drinking in a saloon.
Five or six other soldiers from different
regiments and the negro, Thomas, were In
the place According to the story told by
Davis. the negro approached him and
asked for drink Davis replied that he
had no money. where1pon the negro
struck Davis il the right eye with a set of
brass knucAles- The two closed in a strug-
gle until they were separated by an Iowa
private who was in the saloon
When the negro found himself free he
left the saloon and went to his home
Thither he Was followed by the soldiers,
who wrecked the house in an endeavor 20
get at the ceiored man But for the prompt
arrival Of Maj. Cheathara the negro might
have fared much worse. Mai. Cheatham
covered the leaders with his pistol and said
ne SOdiI k4tl tilc IIFSi man VINO Injured the
negro This prompt action saved the COL
cred man from immediate violence but on
the way 70 the guard house at the Preside
the negro was attacked by Private Scruggs
who struck him 4 terrible blow over the
head with u bludgeon- The soldiers were
quieted with much difficulty. Gen Miller
IS investigating the affair
All the men engaged in the riot were vol
unteers- Most of them were Tennesseeans
but there were a number also from the
Kansas and Iowa regiments.

MICHAEL FAILED TO COME.
Moran Raced EIkes and Was Beaten
Over q Lap.

The Michael-Moran race at the Conduit
road track, which was to have come off
last evening, did not materialize owing, it
was announced, to the illness of Michael
Nearly 5000 persons were disappointed.
Shortly before o'clock yesterday after
noon a telegram was received from Dave
Shafer. MichaePs trainer, in Philadelphia
announcing that the midget had collapsed
and that the probabilities were he would
not ride again this season. Accordingly
Just before the race meet started, it was
announced that Michael would not appear
and that Harry Eikes, the six-day racsr
and the hour champion of the world, wouli
take his place. The announcement vas
made that all persons who did not care to
witness the race could leave and their ad
mission money would be refunded Abou.

Yesterdays exhibition by the Senators
was simply horrible.
Selbach may be little theatrical in his
movements, but he comes very near being
the best left fielder in the league
If the Senators would only try to ginger
up a little their defeats would be over
looked. 1t is the way they go about the
game that makes the crowd sore-no life,
no ambition: simply a desire to get the
game over.
The league magnates seem to be digging
their own graves. The move made yester-
day in suspending Holmes, undoubtedly
out of fear of Freedman, has made enemies
for the league. Such action plants the
germs for an opposition organization.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, August ia Sc
cret meeting was held tonight at the pal
ace between the commanding officers Of
the American army and the Cuban lead
ers. The strictest secrecy was maintained.
but ii can be said with good authority that
Gen. Garcia was present. The meeting
lasted an hour and a half. The infcrma-
tion obtained is to the effect that the Gu
ban situation was thoroughly reviewed,
and that 1t was resolved to disband the
Cuban army, and that the United States
should pay the men off.
This involves the expenditure of 5000,
