The Colonial,
WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. II, 1898.

Gentlemen Il must compliment you upon
the interesting account of Westminster and Its
varied interests which appeared in the ADvo-
CATE last week.
1t was really so good that its scope ought
to be enlarged and extended so as to include
the whole county. Not enough has hitherto
been said and published in behalf of the many
natural advantages which Carroll county pos
esses. Let the light through the columns of
the ADVOCATE and other county papers be
turned on them, that outsiders may be en-
lightened and persuaded that it is goodly
heritage, and thereby be induced to settle
therein and become partakers ofthe prosperity
which its citizens enjoy. | have seen much of
this great country of ours, and something OF
others, but | have yet to behold any region
more beautiful or which can offer greater in
ducements to the industrious settler.
Your paper called forth precious memories,
brought to mind many, very many, dear
friends, and, though temporarily absent, my
heart clings tenaciously to Carroll as my home,
and long for the day when can exclaim,
peace and rest at length have come,
All the days long toll is past;
And my heart is whispering Home,
Home at last.
Sincerely Your Friend,
WM. A. MCkEIILP.

Key West, May 2G.-The investigation
OF the case Of the suspected Spanish
spy, Remigro Zapatero Jiminez, a pas
senger ON the prize steamer Panama,
was continued yesterday by the federal
authorities, and brought out some new
facts. While the suspicion involving
the whole affair has increased posi-
tive evidence sufficient to warrant a
conviction is still lacking. A search of
Jimnez's effects revealed a cipher let
ter, which turned out TO be the key
to SO charts of the Atlantic coast from
Maine to Florida. A rigorous search
failed to locate the charts. Passengers
on the Panama say they recognize
Jiminez as a lieutenant of the Spanish
navy. Several persons claimed to
recognize in the suspect Lieutenant
Sobral, former naval attache of the
Spanish legation i'm Washington, but
there is nothing to warrant such a
theory.

SHAM BATTLE
Pennsylvania Lieutenant Injured in
Mimic Warfare.
THRILLING MILITARY SPECTACLE

General Burt's First Brigade Conn
PEELED to Surrender to the Second
ana Third Brigades, Under Generals
Compton and Hulings.
Chickamauga Park, Ga, May 26.-The
sham battle at Chickamauga Park yes
terday, in which the three brigades of
General Wilson's first army corps par
ticipated, was one of the most thrill
ing military spectacles that has been
witnessed since the civil war. After
seven hours of almost continuous ma
neuvering, in which was exempified al
most every phase of military tactics,
General A. c. Burt, commanding the
First brigade, was outclassed by the
Second and Third brigades, which were
pitted against him.
The First brigade, General Burt COM
manding, composed of the First Ohio,
Fifth Illinois and Third Wisconsin,
was posted at McFarland's Gap, under
orders to hold the Gap if possible, and
If impossible to retreat in good order.
Against the First brigade were the
Second and Third. The Second was
commanded by General Compton, COM
posed of the Fourth Ohio, Third Illl-
Third commanded by General Hullngs,
and composed of the Sixteenth Penn
sylvania, one Hundred and Fifty
seventh Indiana and Second Wisconsin.
The maneuvering was determined
from the start, and during the pro-
gress of the movements portions of the
commands were scattered to various
parts of the field. Here a company
would charge and put to retreat a de-
tached squad of the enemy. Elsewhere
skirmish lines were thrown out and at
times driven back. AS timbered Sec
tions were reached skilled movements
were made to gain shelter of the trees.
Repeated charges were made against
General Burts front, only to be gal
lantly repulsed. The doughty COM
mander had lost none of the spirit that
characterized him upon the same field
when it ran red with the carnage Of
actual battle, third of a century ago.
At last Generals Compton and Hulings
decided upon a combined front and
flank attack. The Second brigade at
tackled the front, while the Third was
thrown to General Burt's right flank.
Right gallantly was the new move
ment met by the First, but at last the
Third succeeded in outfanking the
First and gained the rear, cutting off
General Burts retreat.
A serious casualty occurred during
the progress of the battle. Lieutenant
Batty, of the Sixteenth Pennsylvania,
In command of a squad, was surround
ed by Company C, of the First Ohio
regiment, and was ordered to sur
render. Instead of surrendering Lieu
| tenant Batty ordered a bayonet charge
| While at close range a member of the
Ohio command shot directly at Lieu
tenant Batty, the charge striking him
| in the face and neck, inhicting painful
and serious injuries. Both eyes were
badly injured, and the vision may be
| destroyed.
Bad blood was endangered by the In
cident, and the men rushed together
| 1t was only by the GOODNESS and pres
ence of mind of officers that bloodshet
was avoided.
