MERE’S A MOWDY-DO.
The Awarding of the Contract to Be
Contested.
New York. July 23 - Tho World says
a lew. ot hoe boon retained by steam
ehip romiuapiJ* who wen* the tineus
ceeaftil bidder* fer the iratisportitiK cl
the cipturoil Spant*h prisoner* at San
tiago to Spain ami to begin action to
have the contract made by the govern
ment with lbs Compsgnle Trans-At
lantic Kapanol set nsido. The ground
ig that the bidder is a licensed cert'ora
tion of a nation with whom we are a<
war and according to n measure paaaed
by tb- Spanish Cortes, one half of the
re-eipts of overy corporation doing
business under the Spanish govern
ment meat be surrendered to the gov
ernment to help defray the expcwseß of
the war. By letting the contract to a
Spanish corporation, the United States
govrmn!.->nt indirectly pays Into the
Spanish tree«ury an amount eejuol to
one-half of the contract stipulation.
Also that the government thereby re
leases from blockade all the enomy’s
vessels to be used in the transportation
fir m neutral ports wiirre they are now
Ui shrM'cr.
AWFUL CRITICISn.
Why Ne-.vspapers Are Held Down in
Spain.
Special to The Herald.
New York. July 23.—A dispatch to
the World from Madrid says: The
government has ordered the censors to
prohibit the printing of any newspa
per declarations of general or civil of
ficials. It Is forced to do so because
several generals, Icnluding Weyler,
Polavieja, Lachembre, Lopez. Domin
guez and Carleja have publicly cen
sured Cervera and Toral for not hav
ing proparly employed the fovees un
der them, both to prolong the resist
ance and inflict heavier losses upon
and cause greater embarrassment tc
the enemy, who was in anything but
an easy position near Santiago.

Dr. Oilphant’s Csrd.
Wrens, Ga„ July 22. 1893.
I To the Editor of the Augusta Herald.
Sir: 1 notice in your valuable issue
of yesterday evening. 2Tst, that my
name appears in the list of candidat- h
for t.ffl-in Jefferson county at pri
mary r.lcetton Aug. 4th. This is a mis
take. I have been utged upon by many
friends in the county to announce my
s.if a candidate for the senate, but I
have refused to enter a general scram
ble for the office, and have given way
to friends who seem to lie much more
anxious for the honor than myself.
I have Increased my farming interest
:b's year, and have given my undi
vided attention to the same, and up to
the present date me prospects for a
rich harvest are bright indeed Crops
general!" -ire good In this section, and
will continue bo if my friend Fisher
will just send us a nice rain in a few
days, and quit forecasting dry weather
so much. Very respectfully.

not stay together. The whole business
was one big push.
“No arrangements had been made to

had to make tho best of It ourselves.
Major Sheldon gtatos. however, thru
some of the veterans seemed to enjoy

the man and fleet to carry the war INTO SPAIN.
Big Surprise.
Nothing happening In this vicinity re
cently has taken the American officers
and troops so completely by surprise as
this story of the battle between the Cu
bans nnd the Spaniards. It is not
known whether General Garcia was
aware of the number of the enemy he
was attacking. At bast five thousand
Spaniards were In the body, according
to the report, and they drove Garcias
men Into full retreat a few hours after
the battle was begun.
His intention.
When the Cuban general withdrew his
troops to the mountulns he resolved to
move on to Holquln. If the Americans
would not ellow them to wreak ven
geance on the Spaniards In Santlngo,
the Cuba.na proposed to storm some
other important place. It was with this
object that General Garcia withdrew
his troops from the American lines,
and refused to longer ad ns nil ally of
General Shatter. He decided to can
tuie Holquln if possible and there to
set up an insurgent governmiflit, mak
h g that place the Cuban headquarters
for the Eastern Department.
In Good Faith.
The Spnr.iords had been gathered
fi, :n the fortified towns In the vicinity
and were proceed Dig <° Santiago under
t;,. terms of the surrender. They were
seeking to carry out In good faith the
agreement made i*.ith Genera! fibs'ter.
but were not locking •>' a fight and
were caught off their guard.

Hon. B. It. Tillman, of South Caroli
