interviewed J. A. Solomon on the occur-
rence of yesterday in which a leather quirt
was used Solomon recited a number of
business transactions which he had with
Atwood Violett & Co. Monday he had a
settlement which terminated satisfactorily
to uolli sides bo Solomon thought. He
said: "I considered all arranged and we
arted fnendlv. I knew of no malice on
McElroy's part.
".Monday afternoon 1 was passing the ra-
citiu hotel with my son the sidewalk being
crowded suddenly i was struck with a
whip and next noticed ray son struggling
with some one I could noc recog dze as 1
am near sighted. I discovered tnat my as-
sailant was McKlroy. McEiroy claims I
owe his fi m which is untrue. I did owe
hem but in the settlement Monday 1 paid
$230 in excess of what I owed rather than
have a difficulty. I have instituted a
damage suit against McEiroy for $75f00
and stopped payment of io:es given him
Monday."
It was learned since yesterday mat ine
debt was not of the late firm of Lessmg
Solomon & Rosenthal but ol Solomon

TEXAS VOLUNTEER GUARD.
Abaksas Harbor Tex. March 3. Two
bright communications are before me
from officers who are too well known to in
troduce to the guard. We have some ex
cetient writers in our midst j why not make
suggestions through the medium open to
you the state press? I have the military
department of the different papers in the
state and any officer or man in the Guard
who desires to communicate with me on
subjects that will be of benefit to the Texas
Volunteer Guard will receive recognition
and the articles published in due time.

would it not be weil (unless the State has
a place selected) for the different compan-
ies to express itieir preference for a loca-
tion or the cities that wish to have the
encampment held near them to commence
advocating iheir claims or advantages
The subject of the encampment once
started all the companies will have some-
thing to look forward to they will com-
mence brushing up officers will once more
read over the School of the Buttallion"
and "Guard Mounting." If new or addi
tional uniforms are needed now is
the time to ordar tbem don't wit
until the last minute companies will feel
like drilling and like once more enlisting in
the T. V. G. Your remarks about Aransas
Harbor as a place for the encampment has
met many advocates The prospects of
Live OaKs to camp under and the bay or
gulf to took upon and bathe in. is certainly
an inducement as nine-tenths of our com
pan ies are from the interior I think they
would like 10 see the water and as Aransas
Harboris ina new counrrv. whv irood sol
diers will make good explorers.
After the encampment last year a great
deal was said and written showing the de-
fects of the late camp would it not be a
good idea if the suggestions were made
known before an encampment and see
that the companies are prepared before
hand. We tuny be expected at the comim-
camp to do our own cooking and they may
nave iu lunusa aur cooking ouitit H such
be the case. Ample tiue should be eivan t.n
each command funds are scarce with all
company treasuries and if these camp out-
ina mic ik ue luruisiieu Dy me companies
subscription lists will be the order of the
day. 'X here is no telling how much the
troops would help the slate in. quipping

friends we don't know them. We certainly
have rot bad any in the legislature: and
yet the 2500 members i f tne Volunteer-
boards have been voting f r years for these

and I fear ntver will. How long we will

I read Col. Houston's suggestion that ten
ot the best companies in the state be
selected and placed under ccni-
mand of !ol. Smyth and pre-
pared for the Columbian Fair. I think it
a good idea and it would be an inducement
for all companies to strive fora place in
that regiment. I hope ii will be a success
but if it should not I don't mind telline vou
a tale out of school and that is the Second
regiment is going to Chicago row when.
etc I can't cay but where there's s will
there's a way and Col. Smyth sajs we are
going so that settles it. Now my dear
ir it you will boom the encamnment I
think you wilt cheer uu the bovs. and in
vite correspondence on the sut ject and I
think this year's encampment will be a
credit to the state to ourselves and te our
friends of the U. 8. A. who are always
with us. Truly yours.

William Freez" Aransas Harbor: Sir In
your letter to the president of March 9
you say: '"During a recent visit to several
of ihe newly organized companies in the
state I wonder why ihe United States
government did not appoint a young lieu-
tenant as state military instructor." Your
idea is good as far as it goes but allow me
to iniDrove uoon it. I do not civn ir n mv
own for I think it is the rule in the English
volunteers to detail a regular army officer
as adjutant for each regiment of the volun
teers ot tnose who may make applications
for such details. We are sadly deficient
in our staff administration in our returns
of reports etc. How many officers in the
state can enumerate the books required at
regimental beadquatters? or even com pa
ny quarters; are there six lieutenants in
the service who when detailed on eiiarri.
can make out their guard report? Io all
these ceremonies we are deficient ven to

unteer Guards 19 a mob and for
this state of affairs tne state gov
ernment is principilly to blame.
It is not furnishing the guard with proper
books and blanks. Detail a second lieu-
tenant from the United States array as
regimental adjutant to serve with the regi-
ment four years let him have his office at
regimental headquarters have the com-
panies to make monthly reports and the
adjutant to send his consolidated report.
The tdjutant should keep all the books re-
quired by the United States army regula-
tions he should visit each company in his
regiment at least three times a year and
inspect their books and papers and
give all information in this de
partment as w-ll a 1 technical information.
If this plan was adopted new life would be
infused inti the guard Officers would
soon see that they had other responsibili-
ties than that of simply commanding
troops on the drill grounds. I submit the
above for your consideration. Use such
extract as you deem fit for publication.

Mun-of-War Pannage Abandoned
A Newspaper Offlcle SnctifUied
Panama March 24. The English ironclad
War Sprite arrived at Callao on March 1st.
Those on board furnished information of
which Ihe following is a summary:
e left Iquique on February 2G sub-e-
quent to the different events which led to
the capture of the port by the rebels and the
first fire which caused the destruction of
properly valued at $2000000. It appears
that when the rebels captured the port
the government troops took up a position
at some distance from it and held them-
selves in readiness to attack the city. The
rebels retu; ned on board leaving only some
fifty men in charge. The troops soon
heard of this and marched to the place
si me 200 strong under Colonel Soto.
They reached the vicinity at about 0
o'clock in the morning and there fell in
with the guard of sailors. Firing com
menced and a short fulisade led the ships
o promptly open hre. The Blanco En-
colada Esmeralda and Huascar used their
eons while the transports kept their
in trailliuses busily em ployed. Tremendu
uui destruction followed and at 10 a. ra. a
fire broke out in the nitrate warehouse
which was extinguished by the fire
brigade.
At 3:30 p. m. another tire broke out and
his time the efforts of the firemen proved
useless ana the flames spread until the
whole central part of Iquique where the
oest stores ana ouiiuings were situated was
in ruins. Up to the 2iith wnen the War
Sprite left Iqmrjue the ruins were yet
burning.
The light which resulted in the fire was a
bloody tragedy and it would have been
more prolonged bad it not been for an ar
rangement backed by the chiefs of the two
parlies and under which the opposition
leaders engaged to pay Col. Soto $10000
and to deliver it among his meu who were
then to join the rebels.
unaer tnis arrangement ine government
troops abandon d their arms and soon dis
persed. Sueequeutly Col. Soto was ar-
rested and sent on board the Amazonas

Spritel bad only been informed that
Col. Robled hau 2000 of BaliuaceJa's
troops on the pampas and that it was pos-
sible they would again attack Iquique in
which port and in its vicinty the revolu-
tionists stated they bad 3.00U. They were
however short ot amuniiion but were ex-
pecting some by steamer.
Iquique is ina completely abnormal situa-
tion and all the inhabitants tiave taken ref
uge on the island where they had previous-
ly been stationed.
Pisaqua has been abandoned by
the populace. The intendent of
Iquique sought refuge 111 the War
Spnte and subsequently left in the cable
steamer Silverion for Valparaiso. The re-
port is confirmed of a fight ai San Francis-
co in which Ge'n. Vedagran was killed and
where the rebels was defeated. In the
tight at Iquique on the 10th about 200 per-
sons were killed. Some of the nunibe:' lost
