SOLDIER RATES STOPPED
One-Half Fare Tickets to Officers and
 Men Cut Off in the South

A circular has just been issued by the Southeastern Passenger Association with drawing the one-half fare rates which for a year or more past have been given to all officers and men of the United States army and navy who were off on furlough or who had just been mustered out. This circular will go into effect after the close of the days business next Saturday, June 10th.
 The principal reason for withdrawing these rates is that the soldier business in this section of the United States is now practically over, and rates are no longer needed. All of the southern camps have been broken up and all of the regiments that have finished their service in Cuba have been brought back to the various ports of the south and north and mustered out. The only soldiers now left that would have any need for the reduced rates are those serving in the regular army in the Philippines, when they receive their dis charge.
 It is also said that the ticket scalpers have abused these soldier rates very eXten- s.vely, and that the evil was increasing. For this reason the railroads were very willing to withdraw the rates.

 His office was the scene of an informal reception for short while. He staid in the office f.nly a few minutes. however, as he stated that he was anxious to get home and be with his family. In the afternoon he returned to police headquarters and re- sumed his regular duties.
 The only scene of the sensational drama which is left to be enacted Is the trial of Jewette Feagin, son of the judge, who was arrested for an assault on the chief, who, he thought, had insulted his father A charge of carrying concealed weapons was also made against him.
 Judge Samuel D. Green, of the criminal court, yesterday appointed Attorney John J. Altman as special judge to try the case. Colonel Altman said yesterday afternoon that he was not certain when the case would be tried. He said that he would be quite busy all of this week, and it proba- ply would be next Wednesday before he could hold the court

LETTER FROM FAR
 AWAY MANILA Private MartineIIe Tells of inc Fierce Fighting Going
 On There.

Lieutenant Thomas Hardeman, formerly on officer of the Pratt City company in the First Alabama, received a letter yesterday from A. Martinelle, who is in Company c of the Twentieth infantry. He was form erly a sergeant in Lieutenant Hardeman's 5 company The letter is in part as follows
 ''I am still among the living, healthy and without a scratch. Mike Kelly, a Birming- ham, who last summer was a member of Company c, First Alabama, has been less lucky. He got shot in both legs at Cainta, on March 16
 "A pretty fight that was, and as sym metrical as any sham battle l. ever saw. It was better than any of Alexander Du- mas stories The enemy, whom we had been chasing for several days, had gath cred behind walls of cement and in splen- did entrenchments. We had big field to cross and river to wade through, but got there all the same under a shower of bull lets which lasted for hours. Advancing was done by rushes until We got within less than 200 yards of the walls.
 ''We were at this stage of the game short of ammunition. Bullets came thick. and Company c was immediately in front of the worst place; but a little thing like that cuts no figure with my old captain. After a few seconds blow he jumped up from the ctouching position and, with hat in one hand and revolver in the other, he yelled a charge that 1 never heard before. In a few minutes the place was ours, other companies having come to our assistance as fast as their legs could carry them.
 Captain Foster, who is in command of our company, is the pluckiest little old fel- low l ever saw, and is very active for his age In 0 charge it is all I can do to keep up with him, and he don't seem to value his life more than pants button.
 At Pasig we had similar 'set-to' that lasted a couple of days. The final storming of the town was done by one battalion of our regiment. Fighting in a town among houses and trees is disagreeable I prefer the field.
 '"This is fine country. I like it, and like the people. The only thing wrong with them is their ignorance They are very industrious, and take great pride in keep ing their clothes selean. Their women are certainly the grandest work of God; not pretty, but faithful and brave. They go out on the firing line and stand by their husbands, assisting the wounded to the last alinute I have seen a number of scenes Ench as this with my own eyes.
 When the war is over I will write an- other letter-that is, if the Fipinos don't hit some tender spot

afternoon for the purpose of examining the theaters of that city and to consult with MT. Sulley as to the various details of the plans. Among other things which will be considered will be the advisablity of hav- ing a summer roof garden thirty by hun dred feet in size over the front part of the building. It is argued that this would be a novelty in the amusement line to which Birmingham has never been accustomed, and which would prove immensely popu- lar.
