GENERAL GOZALES
GALLANT SOLDIER WHO FOUGHT
FOR THE SOUTH
A MOST EVENTFUL LIFE
Married in a Distinguished Old Family
of South Carolina, 11-3 Jhvamo
One of Us to All Intents ami Purposes,
Serving the State With Fidelity
and Ability.
"Stories of tlio Confederacy," Edited
by Gen. U. R. Brooks, is an interesting
and, nioro or less, historically
valuable collection of reminiscences
of soldiers on the lighting line and
of women who did no less noble work
at home; war letters from the front;
sketches of various commands, some
new, some reprint; reports of en
in ^nnth Hnrnllrn
gUgeilJ Oil is uiaiiu/ jw
and Virginia; some postbellum memorial
and historical addresses, an 1
several pieces of verse. It ranges
"from grave to gay, from lively
severe," but, the "stories" which st'r
the heart, or "waken old sorrows
from their sleep' 'obviously preponderate
in such a collection.
In speaking of several foreigners
who served the Confederacy with gallantry
and distinction, the editor says
so far as he knows none of these
foreigners save Gen. Gonzales had
distinguished himself in arms before
serving in the War for Southern In dependence.
"Of him Jefferson Davis,
President of the Confederacy,
wrote: "A soldier under two flags but
one cause." Col. Brooks says: "The
'cause' to which "Mr. Davis referred
was that of the weak and oppressed
struggling for liberty and independence;
the flag besides the Stars and
liars was that of 'Cuba Libre'. For
the Confederate Oiflicer had been a
most conspicuous figure in Cuba's
first revolt against Spain, a revolution
that lived in spirit through fifty
.years of dungeons, confiscation, starvation
and slaughter and finally
triumphed when the United States
went to the support of the oppressed.
"The career of Ambrosi? .lose Contains
was so interwoven with historic
events at the most momentous period
in American hist'ory, so involved in
the American struggle between the
free' and the 'slave' States, and so
romantic as to be of more than usual
popular interest. He was born in the
fit.r of Mantanzas, Cuba, im 181S.
His family was one of the most prominent
on the island; his father, bearing
the same name, was an eminent
^engineer, a planter, and the founder
and owner of the first daily newspapaper
published in that city. At the
age of nine he was sent to New York
to be educated at a noted military
school, where he remained four or
five years. One of his classmates
-was G. T. Beauregard of Louisiana,
.and the friendship then formed lasted
unweakened during their lives.
When Beauregard opened the greatest
war of modern times by firing up- '
on Sumter, Gonzales, a volunteer on
his staff, was by his side.
"Upon his return bo Cuba young
Gonzales completed his education at
the University of Havana and took
the degree of bachelor of laws. He,
however, chose education as his profession,
and was a professor in a
Matanzas college when the service of
his country demanded of him exile
and sacrifice.
"A brief history of the first Cuban
revolution with details of the important
part played therein by gallant |
young Southerners, was published in
the Memphis Commercial-Appeal in
May, 1902, and is here drawn upon.
'The conspiracy and fighting was not
begun by the poor or those in the <
lower classes, but by men who were
In high station, who had fortunes to
lose, with nothing to gain but the 1
patriot's freedom. The ambition of ;
thlose who raised the cry "Cuba Libre,"
was not for a republic of their
town, but to become a State within
this Union.'
"The first conspiracy for annexation
was formed in Cuba in 1S48
with some of the most enlightened
and wealthy men at its head. Gen.
Narciso Lopez, then in retirement after
having been commander-in-chief
'of the Cristina Cavalry of the Carlist
vsar in Spain, governor of Madrid,
* * * took aides with the oppressed.
To avoid arrest Gen. Lopez
escaped on an American brig and was
landed at Bristol, K. I.
"A. J. Gonzales was at that stage
delegated by the revolutionary junta
(council) 1o proceed to the t'niied
states and offer Gen. Worth, then returning
from our victorious war in
Mexico, $:{,000,000 with which to
raise an expedition of 5,000 men J
from the disbanded American sol
diers, and land in Cuba to support a I
movement by revolutionists. At the j
risk of his life Gonzalas, unable to
secure a passport, walked on board a
steamer and entered a stateroom, i
where he remained until landed in j
New Orleans Death would have
been the penalty for his discovery
by a Spanish olllclal.
"Gen. Worth had pas3nl New Or-]
leans when the Cuban ambassador j
reached (hat city, lie was overtaken
TSristnl. U. L. and was won over
by the Cuban envoy, and took Gonzales
with him l'o his home at Hudson,
N. Y. A few days later Gen.
Worth met Gen. Lopez and Caspar
Hen tan court Ciscoros, editor of La
Verdad, the Cuban revolutionary paper
published in New York city.
"Gen. Worth and Gonzales proceeded
to Washington, where the Cuban
patriot commissioner met President
Polk, Secretary of Hie Navy
J.fason and Secretary of the Treasury
Walker. At his request Gen. Worth
nont to Hahana Col. Henry Bohlin of
Philadelphia, who had been a volunteer
aide on Ills staff, to get proof of
the ability of the Cubans to furnish
the immense sum of monye promised.
Col. Bohlin returned with sat
isfactory assurances. I3ut the movement
lor annexation could not be
kept secret, and the 'free' states
violently opposing the strengthening
of the South by the introduction of
another slave state into the Union,
powerful inlluences were exerted
against the movement in Washington,
and to such inlluences the Cubans
attributed the appointment of
vien. Worth to the command of the
department of Texas .where he soon
after died.
"On Gen. Worth's death the
wealthiest Cubans withdrew the ten
(.* (' 1 b O I I II 011 1 U I I U H^O. j j ii i tuvDu \j i
greater perseverance, of smaller
means, contributed, the patriot women
sold their jewelry and a considerable
sum was raised.
"In lvS49 tho ilrst Cuban junta was
established in New York, Gonzales
and Lopez being two of its five members.
Sentence of death was immediately
passed on the members of the
junta by the Spanish military commission
at Habana. (Meanwhile, A.
J. Gonzales had been commissioned
as general, second in command of
patriot forces to Tjopez. This junta
proclaimed the independence of Cuba
and adopted a flag that-has remained
the flag of Cuba."
Want of space forbids further extended
citation of Ool. Brooks' story
of tho arduous struggles of Lopez,
Gonzales and their American allies
for Cuban independence; of the landng
at Gardenias of an expedition with
5 00 Southerners, the wounding of
Gonzales, Col Thedore O'Hara and
"* Al- - ?i n 1
Col. Robt. Wheat ana mo ?v^m.u?i
capture of the Spanish governor and
garrison. The uprising of Cubans
through the islands had been suppressed
by the Spaniads it became
impossible to hold Cardena and the
expedition reembarked, hotly pursued
by the Spanish men of war to
tho port of Key West. Gonzales and
Lopez finally surrendered to the federal
authorities at New Orleans,
where they and their compatriots
were charged with violating the neutrality
laws.
Tho grand jury found true bills
against Gonzales, Lopez and some distinguished
Southerners, including
Gen. John A. Kuitman, Justice Cotesworth,
Pinckney Smith and former
Cn ited States Senator John Hendorderson
of Missippi; Judge Boyd of
son of .Miss.: Judge Boyd of Natchez,
Jlohn L. O'Sullivan since United States
minister to Portugal; Col. Theodore
O, Hara of Kentucky, author
of "The Bivouck of the Dead," Editor
Sigur, and Gen Donatren Augusttineand
Col. Robert Wheat of New
Orleans. There were three mistrials,
after which the proceeding were
quashed. Another expedition, organized
mainly by Gen. Gonzales, came
to naught, owing to the seizure of the
Cleopatra, which had been purchased
and equipped in New York by the
Cubans.
While recruiting for this expedi-l
tion on the Georgia coast, happily
Gen. Gonzales had contracted a severe
fever otherwise he would unquea
tionably have shared the tragic fate
of his friend and associate, Gen. Uopez,
with Col. Crittenden and many
Southerners of the ill-fated Pampero
expedition were executed by Spaniards.
Col. Brooks says: "Tho execution
of Lopez and the butchery of the
Americans is a chapter of international
history. That it iraa not then
avenged i3 a dark spot on the record
of this country, but is accounted for
by the tension already existing between
the two great factions that a
few years later met in colosal death
struggle.
Gen. Gonziale^s in 1856 married
Harriet Rutledge, youngest daughter
of tho T-Tnn William Elliot of South
Carolina, amd wa3 the father of the
brothers Gonzales, who have been
such potent factors in journalism in
South Carolina. For the Record of
Col. Gonzales as a confederate soldier,
Col Brooks cites official documents,
which are regarded as the
highest authority by the majority of
Df modern historical students.
Adjutant General Ainsworth certifies
that "the Confederate records
3bow that on November 30, 1860, A.
!. Gonzales offered bis services to
th? State of South Carolina; that on
June 4, 18 62, he was appointed lieutenant
coltonel of artillery, Confederate
States army, and ordered to report
to Gen. Pemberton at Charleston,
S. C., that on August 14, 1862
he was appointed colonel of artillery
and aaigned t'o duty by Gen. Pemberton
as chief of artillery department
ot South Carolina and Georgia, and
that, on Feb. 10th, 180f>, he was acting
as colonel and chief of artillery *
in the department of Sauth Carolina,

The 11 iiion record of pensioners of

chief of artillery, Hardee's corps,
Hen. Johnston's army, was paroled at
Greensboro, X. C., April ISO, 1.8Go, in
ccordance with the terms of the military
convention of April, 18G5."
Further reports hy Hen. Ainsw'orth,
Hen. Heaii regard and Hen. Hnstavus
W. Smith testify to lie unremitting
and invaluable services of Col. Gonzales.

ROB THEJAIL CAR
TWO BOLD BANDITS HOLD UP FAST
TRAIN ON SOUTHERN
MANY PACKAGES TEKEN
The Robbers Hoarded the Memphis
Special, and Rode Forty Miles in
the Mail Car, All the Clet ks Reing
|
Bound, and in This Way Witness
the Robbery.
Two masked bandits held up the
"Memphis Special'' westboun i from
New York to Memphis on the South
? 4 1*-*
ern railroad near stevcusun,
early Tuesday and after rifling registered
mail pouches escaped with,
their booty. Posses have been formed
and are in pursuit of the robbers.
Upon the arrival of the train at
Memphis Tuesday postoflice oflicials
denied that any great amount of valuables
wero missing, although the
mall clerks admit that 34 pieces of
registered mail had been stolen, anl
that the loss would amount to several
thousand dollars.
The bandits boarded the mail car!
while the train was standing at the
water tank near Stevenson, through
a half open door with the order, "all
hands up and elbows down," compelled
Charles Flint, one of the mail
clerks, to tie the hands of the three
other clerks and then lie down himself.
The train left the water tank without
any of the crew being aware of
the robbers aboard.
The holdup men remained in the
-? ' ? * A il^r. onH I,}ft tlio trn In nt
Cctr IUI "t \J uillCfi uuu ivib >,
Stevens Gap. They escaped through:
the woods, which are very heavy in
that vicinity.
Charles Flint, railway postal clerk,
who lives at Iuka, Miss., was in
charge. John S. Hamel was his asso-:
ciate clerk. Two negro postal clerks;
were aboard the car.
Flint, in relating his experience,!
said: "It was a new style of holdup
for the two masked robbers made thej
four clerks lie down while they robbed
the car. The train was in motion
while they were at work. When
they were through they pulled the
bell cord and leaped off just as the
train was slowing down at Stevens
Gap.
"The robbers chose the lightest
night of the week, it being Sunday
out of New York. The registered mail
is always heavier at the end of the
week.
"The two masked robbers entered
the door near tho engine.
"The negro mail clerks, Rnuce and
Powers, were working near the door.
Hamel and myself were at the otl^er
end of tho car. I heard voices, but
being busy did not look up.
"When I saw the robbers they had
their revolvers leveled on us. After
I had tied the hands of the negroes
and Hamel, they forced all four of us
to lie upon the floor of the car. The
robbers were very nervous. I saw a
Pistol in the hands of each. The
other clerks say they had two revolvers.
So far as I know they did
not visit any other part of the train.
It. was a trying experience."
Iirvun Doinir His Share.
The tour of William Jennings
Bryan throughout the West, in behalf
of Governor Wilson, is being
made at a great personal sacrifice to
the peerless leader from Nebraska.
After opening his campaign In Denver,
on September 14, Mr. Bryan
whirls through Colorado. Utah, Montana,
California, Nevada, and Wyoming.
He will return to Lincoln on
October 2, and expects to devote the
rest of his timo to the campaign in
the Middle West and the East.
"Mr. Bryan is giving up at least
$15,000 by giving all his tlmo to the
campaign," aaid Congressman S. A.
Burleson, chairman of tho speakers'
bureau. Mr. Bryan has written a
number of very gracious letters to
Governor Wilson and to members of
the national campaign committee
and said that he wanted to give all
his time from September 14 to NovImbor
5 to Wilson and Marshall. Mr.
Bryan has also contributed $1,000
and his work in the West is sure to
bo most, effective."
Some of those newspapers that
never miss an opportunity to slander
Bryan should make a note of the
above. Bryan is a patriot and will
do as much for the success of the
Democratic ticket, as any Democrat in
the country. He not only made a liberal
cash donation to the campaign,
but is now giving his valuable time
by making speeches no other man
could make. What Ihe Democratic
party needs is more men of tho Bryan
stamp.

In the defence of the coast I ne
between Charleston and Savannah Col |
Brooks claims that the huge train

TORNADO WROUGHT TERRIBLE
DAMAGE IN NEW YORK
Came With Littlo Warning;, and T>e- ^
stroycd Tlir<H! Lives ami Considerable
Property.
Three persons were killad and fifty
injured by a tornado which worked a
tenuiile trail of destruction across tho
northern part of Onlo.ndaga County,
N .Y., late Monday. Toe property loss
is estimated at $250,000.
Without any warning, the black,
funnel-shaped cloud first appeared at
Long Rranch, a pleasure resort ten
miles from Syaouse. About 4 00 persons
were there and panic followed
when building after building toppled
over and two massive inter-urban
trolley cars wore hurled into a. ditch.
A number ran into the danco hall
for safety, but this building was directly
in tho path of the storm and
vras demolished. Many persons wcro
injured in it. Tho wind, thunder,
lightning and rain wore terrific.
Rushing westward the tornado
wrecked the boathonso of the ftyra- i
cuso University Navy, in which was *
stored the entire crew equipment. All
the shells were wrecked and the loss
to Mio university is more than $8,
0 00.
Racing across the country, tlic tornado
leveled everything in its path.
Farm houses and barns wore blown
down. Crops wore ruined and SC01C3
of head of cattle killed.
| North of North Syracuse, tho devastation
continued. Jlltcher's Hill
was next visited and tho settlement
was piactically wiped out, fifteen residences,
a number of barns and the
school house falling before the whirlw
i n d.
Tito home of IT. A. Wendel, which
stood in the path of the tornado, was
lifted from its foundation and turned
completely over. In the house
wore Mrs. Wendell and her three
boys, all of whom escaped uninjured.
