Final arrangements were not then
made, however, but a meeting of the
society to complete the details of the
reception was called for 8 o'clock at
Mr. Coles's office.
The family to which Col. Cheatham
belongs has long been prominent in
Tennessee. General Cheatham. father
of the colonel. was one of the most not
ed fighters furnished by Tennessee to
the confederate side during the civil
war. He distinguished himself during
the war and was prominent through
out the state until his death. One of
mis- relatives was Miss Kitty Cheatham,
the famous actress, and another is at
present the wife of Mayor Joe Williams
of Memphis.
There is no doubt but that when the
party of soldiers. who have seen such
hard service in the Philippines to up
hold the honor of the flag and the repu-
tation of their native state, reach here
this evening they will be given the
kind of reception to which because of
their distinguished services they are
justly entitled.

Tennessee Folks to
Entertain Soldiers

When Colonel Cheatham and party of
officers of the Tennessee battalion OF
the Thirty-seventh infantry reach the
city at o'clock, this evening direct
from the Philippines they will be well
coined by the Tennessee society
and by all visiting Tennesseans,
who care to join in receiving the dis
uinguished soldiers.
Tne notice q Col. Cheatham's S coming
was not received until late today and
but little time was left for preparation.
1t came in the shape of a telegram to
John Snoed. secretary of the society,
and briefly said:
Colonel Cheatham and party of the
Tennessee battalion of the Thirty-sev-
enth infantry will pass through El
Paso at o'clock this evening.
Notify Tennesseans.''
AS soon as the message was received
a consultation was held by several
members of the society and the pres
ident, A. p Coles, and it was at once
decided that the only proper thing was
for the Tennesseans to engage band
and assemble at the depot 20 receive
the returned volunteers.

THE SOLDIER LAMBERT WILL
t HAVE "A DECENT BURIAL.
The Tennessee Society and the G.. A. R.
Will Take Care of That

Corporal Lambert, tn eyoung volun-
teer who committed suicide in this city
yesterday morning by shooting himself,
will not be buried in the potter,s field
after all, as was at first believed.
Both the Tennessee society ana EN-
NETT Crawford post G. A R. have taken
the matter in hand and will see to it
that the soldier who ruined his health
in the service of his country is given
decent burial
The services will probably be held
tomorrow morning, although ar this
hour the exact time has not beer fully
determined
Members of the Tennessee society
felt that Lambert had a claim upon
them from the fact that he was born
at Warsaw in mat state and the G. A.
r. veterans regard him as [ conrade
whose misfortuneS were brought about
by fighting for the old flag and neither
organization proposes to permit the
burial in the potter's fild of the young
soldiers remains.

122 LIVES LOST
According to the Best In
formation, Among Them
Consul Wildman and
Family.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 23-All night
long, small boats with searchlights
fingered about the wreck of the RiC
Janeiro looking for human bodies thai
might come to the surface. and fol
valuable wreckage.
Up to ten o'clock today eleven addi
tional bodies had been brought in.
The high sea, fog and rain make il
impossible to do much of anything al
the wreck. The doomed ship at dusk
last evening had her masts and fun
nels sticking out of the water, but dur
ing the night she slid into the deep
and is now many fathoms down.
Few of the dead bodies will be re-
covered. The tide races outward and
dozens of bodies are doubtless way out
in the Pacific.
The ship cost $SOO,0OO. She is in
sured for little more than half.
1t is known today that Consul Cen
eral Wildman and all his family are
lost
The number of lives sacrificed will
probably rever be known. The ships
records have been lost.
From statements of Pacific Mail Of
ficials it is probable that a hundred
and twenty-five persons perished.
Officers of the Pacific Mail Steamship
company are rather severe upon the
late Captain Ward of the Rio Janeiro
today. They say their investigations
lead to the conclusion that he alone is
for the disaster. Although
a brave man and dying like hero at
his post, he demanded the pilot to go
ahead in the fog in violation of all the
known rules Of safety.
