wee ?o easy job. Yesterday only
ali act taree fourths of the tents were
qpet ?pf atti (th?se were without re

Aletea had the tents properly pitched
eqmdeir the direction of Adjt Frost,
?**d (to-night the soldiers will sleep
??are comfortably. Last night many
of the men being tiped oat preferred
to ?Jeep on their blankets and tents
rather than pitch the tents
Thia morning several of the enter,
prising companies bad hot breakfast,
bot most of them breakfasted on can
j ned goods and bard tack The stove
of the regimental headquarters was
not put op, other more imperative
matters requiring- attention. Every
energy waa directed to-day to getting
the camp in shape and the resolte
were eminently satisfactory. There
was no drilling, no guard mounting
and no morning reports, every effort
being concentrated on gettiog the
camp in shape There is bot little
sickness and those who a e sick are
improving There will be no regi?
mental hospital but the division hos
pital is oear by There vrere hardly
half a dozen South Carolinians in
Chattanooga or Lylie to-day. It
costs too much and Co] Alston can
only give six hours' leave of absence
under general orders
To get this, message off ueces
si tat ed a three and a half mile tramp
It is to say that the South. Carolina
boys are well, are well pleased and
have to cover up at night,, it is so
cool In tus day, boweveir, the dost
is fearful, and it does the covering
r . There was no movement of troops
here to day-. Those who seem to
know say that the South Carolina
boys will be here for some time yet
Col Alston received official orders
to-day relative to recruiting ihe com
pa??es up to 106 men He will send
Lieut McGowan and a sarjad of men
to look after getting volunteers
The other recruiting officers will be
selected later and sent out as soon as
they are chosen. The regiments
here have generally sent out recruit?

plenty of uoiforms, bats and wearing
apparel here, judging from the out?

HOW TBE BATTLE
WAS FOUGHT.
The Terrific Destruction Done
by Fleet at Sac tia go.
Kingston, Ja ,. Jane 7 -The
American fleet this morning engaged
tba Spanish batteries defending the
entrance of the harbor of Santiago
de Cuba, and after a three hours'
bombardment silenced nearly all the
forts, destroyed several earth works,
and rendered the Estrella and Cata
line batteries, th* two principal forti
ficatioDs, useless
The fleet formed in double column
six miles off Morro castle at 6 o'clock
in the morn Dg, and steamed slowly
3,000 yards off ?bore, the Brooklyn
leading, followed by the Marblebead,
Texas and Massachusetts, and to med
westward.
The second line, the New York
leadbg, with the New Orleans,
Yankee, IOWA and Oregon following,
turned westward
The Vixen and Suwanee were far
ont on the left flank, watching the
riflemen on shore The Dolphin and
Porter did similar duty on the right
flank The line headed by the New
Ycrk attacked the new earthworks
near Morro castle. The Brooklyn
column took np a station opposite
the Estrella and Catalina batteries
and the new earthworks along the
shore.
The Spanish batteries remained
silent. It is doubtful whether the
Spaniards were abie to determine the
character of the movement, owing to
the dense fog and heavy rain which
were the weat her features this morn?
ing.
Suddenly tt e Iowa fired a 12 inch
shel!, which struck the base of Estrella
battery and tore up the works
Instantly firing began from both
Rear Admiral Sampson's and Commo?
dore Schiey's columns, and a torrent
of shells from the ships fell upon the
Spanish works. \
The Spaniards replied promptly,
but their artillery work was of a
very poor qua' iiy, and most of their
shots went wide Smoke settled
around the ships in dense clouds,
rendering accurate aiming difficuit.
There was no manoenvering of the
fleet, the ships remaining at their
original stations and firing steadily.
The squadrons wore so close in
shore that it was difficult for the
American gunners to reach ihe bat?
teries cn the hill tops, bnt their firing
was excellent
Previous to the bombardment,
orders were issued to prevent firing
on Morro castle, as tbe American
admirai bad been informed that Lieut
Hobson and the other prisoners of the
Merrimac are confined there. In
spite of thia, Imwever, several stray
shots damaged Morro castle some?
what
Commodore Schiey's line moved
closer in shore, firing at shorter
range
The Brooklyn and T?~xas caused
havoc arnon? the Spanish shore bat
teries. quickly nilencing them While
the larger ships were engaging the
heavy batteries, the Su wane? and the
Vixen closed w ith the small inshore
battery cpposite them, raining rapid
fire shot? upon it, and quickly plac?
ing the battery oat of the fight
The Brooklyn closed to 800 yards,
and then the destruction cansed by
her guns end those of tbe Marblebead
and Texas was really awful In a
few miuniee the woodwork of Estrel?
la fort waa horning, and the battery
was nile need, firing no more doting
the engagement. Eastward, the New
York and New Orleans silenced the
Cataline battery in quick order, and
then ?helled the earthworks located
higher up. Latter the practice waa4>
not so accurate, owing to the eleva?
tion of the gana Many of the shells,
however, landed, and the Spanish
gunners retired
Shortly after 9 the firing ceased,
the warships turning in order to per?
mit the use of the port batteries.
The firing then became a long reve
berating crash of thunder, and the
shelis raked the Spanish batteries
with terrible effect Fire broke out
in the Catalina fort, and silenced the
Spanish gnus.
The firing of the fleet continued
until 10 o'clock, wheo the Spanish
fire ceased?entirely, and Rear Admi?
ra! Sampeon hoisted the "cease fir
iug" signal
Generally, the firing of the fleet
was very destructive Many of the
earthworks were knacked to pieces,
and the Estrella and Catalina fortifica
ti"n8 were so damaged that it is
questionable whether they will ever
be able to renew any effective work
during the war After the fleet bad
retired, the Spanish returned to some
of their gana and tent 12 shots after
the fleet, bot no one was injured.
One large shell fell close to the collier
Justin
Throughout the engagement no
American ship was hit, and no Amer?
ican was injured If the Spaniards
stock to their guns, and ail evidence
is to the contrary, their loss mast
have been heavy

A LITTLE SUFFERER
Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
Scrofulous Humors-How a Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. It
was -?vorst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
It appeared in the form of red pimples
which would fe3ter, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hood's Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
it to our boy and we noted an improve?
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hood's Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and it has never since returned."
