Tenth immnnes, colored, nanted here I to day over the Seaboard Air Line on \ their way north from Macro, Ga Col. Chudee h. Jones, commanding officer of the regiment, wan teen by I a repreeontative of the Associated * Pre immedtately upo a the arrival I of his train here, as jbe had tele I graphed bead m the marniog that he desired to make a statement in regard to the shooting affair at Griffin, Ga. He enid be struck Griffin about 1 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. I I don't think there was more than a * dozen revoiyerst in-the hoads of the men. When we pallejcl oct pf VTne; I ville, there was seme shooing in the ^ir from the 'train.. The men were I foll of good spirits and hac no inten tlon7 to barm anyone. No ihots were *^red when we went into the town of tta^lfijo I was surprised to find men ; line^ np on either side of 'ihe depot M Aboot 50 of them wore no^forms. I ^ ino^rired wh at the trouble was, and ? > was 'old tfr&i the first section had been disorderly and that' Ihe citizens wanted to protect themselves. "I told .my men to be quiet and they were obedient, and there was no disorder The train stopped about five minutes "The train had pulled out about 200 yards wheo some of the men in tbe forward part of the train fired ernie shots. "The militia then fired into the rear car. Geo. L Agee, the brake man, who was standing on. the plat form was shot. One bali passed tbroogh his leg, another through his thigh and still another passed through bis body As the officers" car passed a body of the militia, a volley was fired, "into it, notwithstanding the fact tl at four ladies were at the win dows. I was standing on the plat form of my car. The wife of one of tbe captains, who was seated by the window, had a narrow escape. An [iron brace prevented another bollet ! from crashing into the car. j f.'Tfp to. tbe 3 30 o'clock when I left Macon yesterday afternoon, not one of the depredations of. the white I or negro troops at that town bad been ! committed by nae Tenth immunes ; I Tbe action o the militia in Griffin was the most cowardly that I have ever seen burban beings guilty of. Had tihey fired into the oar from which the one shot \ was fired, it ' would have been ba enough, but to fire s volley into a car, when the officers who bad charge of the men knew there were Jad es in the car who- were unable ito/ protect hem - selves, andr-wbo. had not been guilty of any breach ot law,-was beneath men." Bobbed the Grave. A startling incident o ~ which Mr. John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the subject, is nar rated hy hin as-follows "I wai in a most dreadful condition. My skin was almost yel low, eyes sunien, tongue coated, pain continu ally in back ad sides, no appetite-gradually growing we ker day by';day . Three physi cians had given me up. Fortunately, a friend advised [trying 'Electric Bitters/ and to my great joy and surprise, the first bottle made a decided improvement I continued their use for three weeks, and am DOW a well man.

Wasbingtao, March 9.-When his attention was called to the statement coming from Vancouver to the effect that Admiral Dewey is breaking down and cannot last a mooth longer, Secre tary Long said that be bad oo information whatever on this point The stories of tba admiral's ill health have been in circulation with more or less persistency for the past foor months They are all traceable to private reports, and though officers of the navy who have returned from Mamila state that Dewey's health,, so far aa st could be ganged from Disappearance, appears to be about the same as it has been for the past few years, they agree that the private reports probably have a fair basis of fact, p . it is not denied by thpse officers that the admiral has aged in appearance notably within tbe past year ; his hairr is undoubtedly whiter and his figure shows signs of that weakness which might, be expected to come with advancing years. Dewey will be 62 years old nest December, and for many years has not been a strong man physically. Meantime he has had imposed upon him the most severe and active duties, so it is but natural tbat his frail physique should show tbe effect of the tremendous strain. It is said by porsons familiar with the Philippine climate that the second year is the hardest to bear for a Caucasian, and Dewey soon will begin bis second year there. In addition to this be labors under the drawback of having undergone a most severe surgical opera lion for the relief of his liver. A man needs a sound liver in the Philippines of all. places. These facts lead naval officers to believe reports that Dewey is showing signs of physical strain. On thc other hand, as already stated, there is absolutely no official evidence on file at the department to show that this is true A full medical history of Admiral Dewey is among the records of the bureau of medicine and surgery. Tbf*y show every ailment that he bas experienced since be bas been io the navy as well as the results of the phys ical examinations be has undergone when he has been promoted from . time to time. But these do not disclose any complaint at this time ; the admiral bas no been made tbe subject of a sick re port since he went to Manila;- Some time ago the president feared that the great strain be was under might over tax him. so be cabled Dewey, through. Secretary Long, permission to return to the United States. The abmiral dedin* ed to avail himself of this. permission and asked permission to stay, saying that io bis opinion duty required that be should finish tbe task fae has begun at Manila, the president accepted this statement and Dewey remains by his own wish : he is free to return to the United States whenever he cares to do so, and the department will relieve bim by ca bled orders In that case Capt. N. H. Dyer, the commander of the Baltimore, who is the Senior oaptaio on the Asiatic station, "would have command of the Americon squadron temporarily and probably would be relieved laier- by ne of the rear admiraly recently created, nearly all of whom are anxious to assume ac tive fftg rank before retirement. . ? a t |^| ' .' -.? ..; .. Vf ?. { .'. jS - a Io the March Keview of Reviews. Dr. William Bayes Ward bas an artic e on Puerto Rico, whioh be visited recently "forth* purpose of studying its ec1 neat ional and religions heeds " A paragraph on the color line may be compared with what a staff correspon dent of The State lately wrote regarding alleged "social equality" io Habana: "The prejudice against odored people is very much. les than in the United States, but it yet exists, and that notwithstanding the late emancipation of the slaves. When one sees white and colored ohildren in the same schools and colored as well as white teachers, be may be too quick td imagine that caste based on color does not exist. But when he attends any of the principal social functions be is undeceiv ed. At parties and receptions be will see nooe but those of pure white blood." Which goes to show once mora the worthlessness of judgments based on hasty and shallow observation. Tba "color line" is not drawn at the extreme point that it is drawn here; but it is drawn nevertheless, naturally and without political prompting, where it is neoessary to be drawn-io eooial circles and at the door of the home.

How Charleston Entertained the Battery* Special to The State Charleston, March 9 -Senator Till man and the congressional party arrived this morning at ll o'clock from Columbia. They were met at the depot by a committee composed of Mayor J Adger Smyth. Alderman Geo W Williams, Jr, Maj Geo B Edwards, Messrs C F Midd le tc o, W B Wilson, W H Welch. J C Hemphill, T R Waring, A O Kaufman, Capt J Elmore Martin, tbe Rev Dr Bays aod Mr W Gibbes Wbaley, who took charge of the ladies and gentlemen of tbe visiting party, escorted them to the carriages in waiting and drove them rapidly around the city, pointing out the ohief points of interest. The party was tben taken to Accommodation wharf, where tbe Pilot Boy was boarded for an excursion around the harbor and to the Isle of Palms. At the latter plaee the guests aod their entertainers had lunch served to them and maoy were tbe convivial courtesies interchanged, Tbe party returned to the city about 6 o'clock and enjoyed a j brief rest before the banquet, wbieb wa9 served at the Charleston hotel at 7.30 this evening Speeohes were made by Senator Tillman and Congress men COD nally, Cowherd, S barr otb, [Lewis, Norton, Latimer, Showalter ! and Col Waterhouse and all tbe speakers were generously applauded ! The fraternisation of Senator Tillman and bis opponents here even to the | editors who have so bitterly denounced him in the past, was complete and the j occasion was an epoch making one in State hatchet-burying sod reccncilia i tion.
