Am was stated yesterday, C< 'ilie .tones sent the attorne moral his share, as hondstnar i the shortage of Col Neal. It was decided that Col Nei old only he held, criminally r $2,812.41. The rest of th ,J,000 is made up of worthle >tes, etc., the taking of whic as not criminal, hut showed ha isiness judgment. The exni Mires as to who will lose on th aolo transaction cannot ho state day, but in round figures it i id that the Carolina hank wi i out $5,500, the state $2,t>0 d the bondsmen $2,800. Thi ?es not make up the full amounl it there are various other sraulle infractions which between th ite and hank will bring the sui ) to 11,000. This morning bondsmen Scot >pe and I' 11 Haitiwanger calle i the attorney general an orniscd to send checks for thei are this afternoon. So thi inda up the whole business s r as the tiondsuien are concerned Mr Bellinger today received eck from Senator Tillman fo 09.06, and Superintendent (n il h, of the penitentiary, who it ived the check, signed u receip full for the amount due by th nator. The committee report had Sen or Tillman charged with $11 d some cents, hut the senate a letter to the attorrey genen owed that the statement w? rong. He said $12 was charge ;ainst him for convict' work o nces' pound the mansion groumh bich was manifestly not duo h m. Again he was charged $ thousand for the brick he re ived from Colonel Neal, wbil e market price in August u at time was $4. The amour en for the brick should ho $12 r Bellinger investigated thes atters and found thom i. ue, and agreed that ^*24- ?fci nco work and for tho brickould he taken otl Hiis wool nvo Senator Tillman due onl >3. Hut the senator hiinsel formed the committee that h id gotten oats from Col Net hich did not occur on the hookf Tho amount at the market pric the time was added, making th II $109.06. It is very likely that the hotidi en will make demand from thoi srsons who got hook cases, hi icks, tables, etc., to "cough up e value. They didn't nee irnifiiro a? -4 * U11.X1 u tn iimi mil i IIISl no id object to paying hard earn* oncy for it for other people I ie. Mr J J Fret well, of Andoi m, will lie asked to reimhur ie bondsmen for $387.17. ret well got some oats from tl snitentiary, but instead of pa; g for them, credited Colon oal on his account to that amoua lis l>eing done at the instance < olonel Neal. The bondsmen are charged \i ith $638.29 for commissary huj lies used by Colonel Neal. The ?ld that e? they wore only on k end for four yeara that th< * b.kmuu noi Dc unarmed up tor s year's misconduct. Mr Bel line | says that as a matter of fact tl whole shortage occurred with the four years, hut as the cor rnittee's investigation extendi k hack for six years that is the wi it appeared as if six years' trail actions were involved. Colon Jones called on Mr Bellinger tli morning and referred to this ma tor. But the amount was not r duccd. >1 The state, then, is safe so f J as to the amount wrongfully a preprinted hy Colonel Nenl. can hardly roimhurse itself < notes that are no good. Colon ^S'eal says he will ho in Colurah e tomorrow or Monday to settle, he desires to pay the $11,000 (j receipt will he given him for i . except that which his hondsnx have paid. Mr Bellinger h j nothing more to do with that ar Colonel Neal will have to reii: s II hurse them personally, is AMERICANS RELEASED.

We | have been cheered until we almost i , j tjl forgot to cheer for Dewey?L in cheered along over seven miles of | ft8 marching, nearly every foot of j ( id wh ich we trod on air (or asphalt, n which is nearly He same thing.) . Our men have seen a sight such as ^ has never before been seen in the world and may never bo seen | again. People tell us the creat', . Queen's jubilee in London was' ,1 r . . nothing to this. Imagine march j, ing from a mile below Reedy River factory or three miles above j ^ the Rock House to Greenville; r ? | | court house through a solid lane of big buildi gs all decorated in Ov I uvery conceivable arrangement of . ? i ^ red, whito and blue, with the tens of thousands of windows 140 crowded with men and women waving Hags and shouting, with 1 ittunda rising to the second stories 1 VO packed with men and women wav- i Is ing flags, with the sidewalks soiid n~ masses of people, with interminable lines of men before and be j in j hind us, a vista of flags in both Q I 1 ' directions and unnumbered bands n playing, and you have what we I who marched saw and felt. There ^ are no adjectives to describe it. e- 1 We left headquarters soon after | ?V 9 o'clock this morning and we 3(1 were whirled up town wo could rt' see the crowds gatheiDg. Our [)S i 1 Greenville company was so big, 1 that it was made into a battalion, I r.^ ' hut we took good care that it 1 should bo known as the Greenville j battalion, the biggest single or-' gani/.ation from any State in the j Union, barring New York, of course. We hated to be split, but orders had to he obeyed. We wanted t<> nnriuln am one eomm?nv aC "" " 1 ' . 1 ^ 72 strong. As it was, Davis com-1 id mantled tho first battalion, Benet I its the second. Major Blvthe < aetin?r > i ns commanded the second battalion j* of the regiment, which we have j(j reason to believe gave every i e<l South Carolinian reason to be j rig proud; for we were cheered by all the miles of people. As we j marched wo could hoar the hand clapping and shouts in masculine u' and feminine voice ami the cries Ira ?f "Good! Good! (rood boys?" C with which we have become fa ! miliar and now and then?4'South r* Carolina ! Three cheers for South iOc kn Carolina!" We kept steady, j though all of us wanted to show what a rebel yell was like, but that wasn't military; but from the corners of our eyes we could see the people rising in their seats ,s* to cheer us as we tramped along, ?' and that is why wo marched on air from One hundred and twentyfifth street to the wido span of tho ,an Washington arch at the square. ia# I Not a man fell out or lost step or iX' forgot to square his shoulders. om The Fourth Maryland regiment kve was just in front of us, and alike though ita band played "Dixie' , end "My Maryland" and was cheered frantically the men march- I ed so steadily that we followed t their example, determined to he j s as good soldiers as they were. I That was the only thing that kept t our feet under us. i e There were halts and we were j ( not sorry. The police were I u ranged at the sidewalk linos keep- .J int; the crowds hack, but when I p a man fought his way out with it beer or champagne or sand witches , a the police let him through and he v came to us. The women up in j the windows threw us fruit and 1 li big boxes of lunch came sailing t' over from the crowds. We had t< enough to eat and drink and h (lowers enough to make us look t< like living bouquets by the time I we turned out of Broadway. Don't f< talk about the police! It it hadn't F. heen for the police we would have j V l>een smothered. The police were li the only sane things we saw in more than seven miles, more than w two millions of crazy, shouting w people, all apparently rich, all c i :a _ L- I _ - n * * iom[)iihoic, nn, 11 seemed to us, t( wild over us South Carolinians and j o Dewey and Schley; for Schley n was next to Dewey. a The New York people seem to:*1 have settled the Schley-Sampson t lisputeasto who deserves the cred a it for the battle at Santiago. Dewey j ^ hugged Schley at the city hall this ^ morning and that settled it. Men 1 who were in the lino near the |r head told me that the shouts for Schley?pronounced Sly?were ? second only to those for Dewey " himself, ami that Sampson cut t hut a poor figure by comparison, t although the New York newHpa- < pers have been booming him hard. . ' Governor McSweeney rode ' with the other governors, there being fourteen of them outside of ^ Roosevelt. South Carolina was * twenty-second in a line of carri 8 ages including forty four divU sions. Only Delaware, Pennsylvania and New Jersey were ahead of her in I he list following the t naval officers. North Carolina, Rhode Island, Vermont and a lot ^ of others followed her. 4 After the forty four divisions in carriages came six battalions of J the naval brigade, led by Capt. f ( ('has. M. Thomas, L. S. N'., with sailors from all the prominent ' fighting ships at Manila and Santiago. A brigado of the United ii s States army, commanded by Col. John I. Rogers, of the army, followed. Then Jennie Governor Roosevelt and his stall lending a . 1 J squadron of cavalry an I a signal corps and thirty-eight regiments besides a lot of signul corps men ^ and separate companies. The New Yorkers mude five full brigJ ades. They were followed by the New York naval brigade and three regiments from Pennsylva- ' nia. New Jersey had two regiments and a naval brigade; Georgia had a regiment and two battalions, ( Connecticut .had two regiments, some separate companies and bat- | teries; Maryland had one regiment j and then South Carolina loomed | up?right behind Maryland and a thousand miles away. No wonder we had the best of it. No Southern State made the showing we did. We were cheered until our ears rang and we were tired. New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Indiana, Mississippi, Maine, Florida, Texas and a lot of States came t>ehind us. Tho Lord knows how many men there were: we don't. We know that wo have had the time of our lives and have mil a big an<i honorable part in ,ho higgest hurrah America over law. That is enough for us. We will start homo Sunday ivening after another day of librty and sight seeing, and will hit ireenville sometime Monday. Wo >ro all delighted and bewildered, lust now we don't care when wo ;et home. Hut we will be glad o get homo ami get our breath t that. We are simply delighted vitli our trip all of us. Camp Wetherhill men have teen coming to see us in droves o night after the success we made rxlay. The New .Jersey crowd rought oyer their mascot "Shafer." All of us are going out .tonight or a last look at the sights. >erybody stood the inarch well. Ve are, simply amazed and *do> ghted. The first act of this morning ran at the city hall where Dewey uiH presented with a gold loving up. There he showed a desire o shako hands with all the naval (licers and introduce them to the iayor. He almost hugged Schley nd patted Captain Coghlin 011 the ark. As Dewey greeted Schley he crowd around sent up cheer fter cheer for Dewey and Schley. ?uite a demonstration in honor of iehley was made at the starting mint and the cheers for him aU uost equalled those for Dewey. When Admiral Dewey arrived it the reviewing stanO at Madison quaro the enthusiasm and cheers hat greeted his appearance were romendous. At 72d street a host >f school children were on a stand >11 i11 specially for them. When Dewey came in sight they sang, 'Hail, the Conquering Hero Jomcs." When Dewov heard he children he rose from his seat ind hared his head. Dewey Talks. The following extract is from he Evening Dost and may he 10 jarded as authentic: "1 thought," said the Admiral, that this thing in the Philip* lines would he over long before ,his, as it should have Seen. I ain't imagine how they have itood out till now. Of course here was the rainy siason, and I mppose little was done. One ;reat trouble out there has been 'Jen. Otis has tried to do too nuch. I told him so. He wants to be general, governor, judge, ind everything else, to have hold >f all the irons. No man can do Lhis. Ibis is the great tro.ihle. It is enough for a man to <lo ono thing, to he one tiling, and when i man tries to do everything and to i>e everything it is easy to imagine the result. Dewey does not think tho Filipinos are capable of self government but thinks more of them than of tho Cubans. Luna, he says, was the best man and he was assassinated. Aguinaldo is a smart follow but has not the brains, is a tool of the able men behind him. There is no trouble with those who have learned that the Americans mean what they say. They stand bj us all tho time. Notice to Debtors and Creditors of P. M. Plyler, Deceased. ALL Persons indebted to the estate of P M.
