ASSFMliLFD iN ATLANTA.
Thousands of Veterans at the
Atlanta Reunion. J
(la
Atlanta, July 3?>.? A host of era
heroes trending historic grounds at 1
invaded Atlanta today. For two the
days the Confederate veterans and <pu
their friends have I icon coining in, hill
and a conservative estimate of the sul
people now in Atlanta to attend he
the eighth annual reunion of the j
veterans, is 40,000. The rail- Co
roads are advised that several fail
special trains are now on the way tici
and as the traflio inward hound is ren
still very heavy, tomorrow's ar- 1
rivals are expected to swell the tha
total number of visitors to the to
50,000 mark. for
Confederacy's rai ks are well
represented, yet much disap- of
pointment is cxprc ssed at the un- the
avoidable absence of Mrs Jeffer- the
son Davis. Mrs Davis' health is tioi
not good. and fearing that the <
o o
journey from Richmond would for
overtax her, the first lady of the co.
Confederacy has given up tho for
trip. Miss Winnie Davis, how- u?
ever, isexpectod tomorrow morn- An
ing. She will bo met at the depot
by a reception committee and J
escorted to tho residence of Mrs
Win M Davis on Washington W.
street. The names of Gen Joseph
Wheeler, the gallant cavalry leader,
and Gen Fitzhugh l^ee are on Fit
every lip, tho regret for their I
absence, however, being set aside
by the fact that they are nobly
representing the south in the Sp<
struggle with Spain. <
The interest of .the day centered can
in the lirst meeting of the vet- oi
crans at the auditorium in Pied a t
mont park. There, surrounded wh
by 10,000 of his devoted followers,
Gen .John 11 Gordon, com- j So
mander-in-chief of the veterans, j ha<
delivere 1 an address which thrilled Co
his auditors and called forth a j the
response in terms which admit of Fu
no douht as to the general's place ini
in the hearts of his followers. ! tlic
The speeches of the day abound- i hia
ed with praises of the heroic deeds
and achievements of the sons of ; wo
the south in the present war. and | W
the names of Hobson, Hag Icy. wa
Schley and Illuo were cheered to ! iui
the echo. (Ion Charles K Hooker wh
of Mississippi, the orator of the
lay, was given a cordial reeep. ihj.
tion and liis address was well re- sat
ccived. set
Mr Featherstono got off a good ,, .
S.A
joke on Colonel Watson, at lien nettsville,
last Saturday. During
the course of his remarks, Colo- ..
nol Watson said that South Carolina
did not want an" more "boy
governors." In reply, Mr
Featherstone told of a young man
who unsworn! an advertisement
for a bookkeeper. "You keep
(hi
illV books?" scornfully asked the
.... .
proprietor. "Why, you have no
hair on your face." "I thought .
. in<?
it was brains you were after,"
the young man replied. "Had I
known that you wanted hair, I
would liavo sent you a goat."?

Uev \V F Litcle, who lives in tho

young horse killed Inst Friday ing
afternoon by two drunked men
running against it and driving a
buggy shaft into its side. From __
what we ran learn the deed seems w\
to have been wantonly done, for
tho horse was hitched near the "

Santiago, July 21.?General!
rcia has written a letter to Gen1
Shafter declaring his disgust , '
his treatment at the hands of 1
Americans, lie will eonsc- j1
mtly withdraw his forces to the j 1
s, being no longer willing to
unit to the indignities to which ,1
had been subjected. 1
Among the things of which 3
P O
neral Garcia complains is the x
lure of General Shafter to of- x
ally not'fy him of the sur t
der of Santiago. v
He is also incensed at the fact j(
t no invitation was given him v
attend the ceremony of the t
mal surrender. ft
Another grievance is the action t
General Shafter in retaining c
i Spanish civil authorities in '
i administration of their func v
ns at Sant ago. 2
[ienoral Garcia declares that '
these rea.ons ho will no longer '
operate with General Shafter's r
