WEDNESDAY EVENING. MAY 2. 1900.

The information given out at the War
Department does MT seem to be reliable.
Yesterday il was denied that any author
ily had been given by that department
for the military escort which is accom-
panyng Father Sherman, son OF the late
Gen. w. T. sherman, on his "mareh
10 the sea-" In fact, it was stated at the
department that the authorities in Wash
inqlon had received no information rela-
tive to the matter other than that fur
nished by the newspapers. President
Roosevelt, however, last night command
ed that the military escort which LETT
Chattanooga on Monday TO escort Rev.
Father Sherman over the route of his
fathers march 10 the sea should return
to its post. The press dispatches yes
terday announcing that Father Sherman
had been given military escort al Fort
Ogletaorpe to accompany him on his
excursion, caused much disturbance.
General Bell and other staff
officials declared the escort was not
warranted. Senator Bacon, of George,
called at the War Department and en-
tered a vigorous protest against any
armed body of troops marching through
Georgia on such an expedition, aud n
telegram was at once sent to Brigadier
General Duvall, commanding the De-
partment Of the Cult, with headquarters
AT Atlantis, asking by what authority
the escort had been given to Father
Sherman. General Duval replied in a
long dispatch saying that Father Sher-
man was accompanied by two officers
and eight troopers of the Twelfth Cav
airy, the purpose being to give the off,
GERS an opportunity to study General
Sberman's campaign and at the same
time to compliment the son of General
Sherman. This explanation was sent
TO the White House, but did not satisfy
the President, who at once directed that
the detachment be recalled to Fort Ogle-
thrope. General Sherma1's "march to
the sea" is a blot upon the history o.
this country, as his path was marked by
fire, waste aud desOlation. Its very rec
olleciiou is a nightmare TO the people OF
South Carolina and Georgia.
