A DENIAL.

We desire to state, at the request OF
the members of Company d., residing
in Scranton and elsewhere, that not
only do they deny any participation
in the unhappy episode which occurred
at Eutaw, Ala, but that as soldiers
and Missssippians they sincerely
deplore the sad event. We know per-
sonaliy many Of the members of Com
pany d., First Mississippi and we
feel assured not one Of them could be
guilty Of an act which would bring
censure upon them as soldiers of the
United States government or citizens
OF the grand old commonwealth 0.

He had hardly enough well men to

him forth and shown the people that

work of cleaning the city and build
ing the roads is dans-hy the Cuban
soldiers whenever theXare willing tt

to employ the Cuban soldiers where
ever possible, and the Cub',n officers

work in preference to.any one elst
