Atlanta, Ga, April 24.-Thc Fifth resi-
ment, Georgia militia, which was ordered

spent the night in the armory here. 1t

Fearl Knott near Woolsey, Ga, last
week, but it is believed the soldiers were
wanted to prevent trouble at Palmetto.
No further orders have been received
from the governor and the men are still
under arms.
The people Of this city have never been
so wrought-up as they are over the New
man affair Extra trains have carried
5000 or 1000 people to the scene of the
crime. Nearly every man brought back
a souvenir. One man showed q piece
of Hoses heart saying he was going

MAKES A PROTEST.
Capt. Wilde Says Gen. Miller Does
Not Deserve Credit for
CAPTURE of IlOilO

Washington, D. c., April 24.-Capt.
q. +. 2. Wilde, L. S. \. warship Bos-
ton, has protested against the promotion
of Col. Miller to a brigadier generalship
as a reward for the capture of Iloilo. 1t
appears that this capture was effected
entirely by naval forces under the COM
mand of Capt. Wilde, and that it was not
until after the capture had been effected
that the place was turned over to Col.
Miller, who, up to that time, had nothing
to do with its capture. This action is
endorsed by Admiral Dewey.
Protest Came Too Late.
Capt Wilde's protest comes too late to
be effective, as Col Miller was promoted
a rigadier-general February - iii rec
ognitiOn of his services in the capture of
Iloilo. and was retired in that grade
March u by operation OF law on account
of age. He was in command of the ex-
petition sent from Manila for the capture
of Iloilo and the cruisers Boston and
Petrol We're sent with him to render as
sistance. While the vessels of the eXpa-
dition We're lying off the port the ma
tives began to strengthen their defenses
and fired several shots at the Petrol,
which vessel was anchored nearest the
shore. The commander of that small
warship asked and received permission Of
Capt Wilde of the Boston to respond.
At this time, according to naval advlces,
Gen. Miller's army transports were far
out in the roadstead
Didn't Consult Gen. Miller.
Without cOmmunica ting with Gen. Mil
Ter the two Warships opened on the
shore batteries and soon silenced them.
Lieut. Niblack of the Boston landed with
a battalion of marines and sailors and
took occupation of the town. They cap
tured the insurgent flags on the gov
errors house and on the batteries and
turned the city over to Gen. Miller on
his arrival an hour or so later. They
kept the captured flags, however, in spite
Of Gen. Miller's demand for them. This
is the naval story of the battle of 1loilo
The official report of that engagement
first received in Washington was made
by Gen. Miller to the war department
and simply announced the surrender of
that city to the American forces under
his command, without going into particu
lars. Acting upon this report, and in
view of the fact that Gen. Miller had
but a few weeks more to serve on the
active list, the President appointed him
to a vacancy then existing in the list of
rigadier-generals. He is now on his
way home from Manila. and is expected
to reach San Francisco in few days
