The Fleet Moves. No action occurred until the 13th. Our fleet began to move in at 9 o’elock on Saturday morning. Dewey's Olym pia led the fighting line, aa of old. The flag ship dlrertrd her fire at Ma latcfort. The Raleigh, Petrel and Cal lao also opened Arc on the fort, the Boston, Baltimore, Charleston and Monterey standing In as supports. Most of the firing was done at a range of from three thousand to four thous and yards. Infantry at Work. Our infantry was seen a few minutes later, moving forward upon the Span ish intrenchroents. Their advance was made under cover of a heavy fire from the Utah battery. With colors flying and bands playing , the troops moved swiftly along the beach. There was a creek to be ford ed. They plunged into It and were soon nernss. Once over they deployed in skirmishing order along toward Ma late, keeping up a heavy rifle fire and finally halting on Runeta. Found in a Church.

The conduct of the Spaniards was disgraceful after the capitulation. The gunboat Cebu wan brought down the river, with the Spanish flag flying, and was set on fire at the mouth of the Pasig. A party of Atnerieatfs boarded her and hoisted (he Stars and Stripe*. They tried fruitlessly to save three lnunch«» and several boats, which were also destroyed. The insurgents, on August 14th, the day f.fter the surrender, entered some Spanith trenches on the outskirts, but were repulsed. Genets* Merritt notified them that they will not be permitted to come in side the city. It Is probable that the Americans will now deal with the In stil pent? unless an amicable arrange ment is arrived at soon. SUIYTER IS DRY. For Sixty Years the Liquor Interest Has Been Strong There. Arotiicus, Ga., Aug. 18. Sumter county went into the prohibition col umn yesterday, after the hottest elec tion ever witnessed here, and for the first time In sixty year* red liquor is turned down, and the county goes dry by 88 votes.

Many whiskey houses had agents here, and nothing was left undone to carry the day Tor whiskey. Eight county precincts gave a plurality for prohibi tion, and at the city precincts Ihe race was very close in a vote of 1,200 There is no likelihood of a contest, as the whiskey men concede defeat. The white vote of the county was over vihelmlngly for prohibition, while many negroes likewi @ voted the dry ticket. The victory was announced by the ringing of church bells last night, though the city is very quiet lo day. and there is no excitement what ever. No Pay For Insurgents. Washington, Aug. 18.

CRAVE FEAR FOR CUBANS The President is Very Apprehensive Tod*?. He Is Holding Very Important Cm* ft-rentes. Kpet-lal to The Herald. Wasti.ngton. Aug. 18. Riot tnur >der and the destruction of property are the Ir.o of public horror* which President McKinley fear* for Havana and oiher Cuban cities. Tbs m*-->sacra ' by the Spanish soldiery of upwards of . 100 Porto Ricans has aroused hit anx ' iety. He a; once set the wires work ing into General Miles' headquarters to ascertain the tiuth. Nothing from General Allies bearing on the subject came during the day. In Conference. The president sent for General Alger to eonfer with him on the advisability of sending a heavy force of aoldicra to Havana at onee. General Alger advised agalnat it on yellow fever and other grounds. He also questioned the authenticity of the i Porto Rico story. To this the pres ident replied that whether the story were true or not, It suggest* an em.- nent probability. He recalled Wey ler's assertion and later on the boast of Blanco, (hat If the American* ever frepd Cuba, they would find it "a waste of ashes sown in salt." What He Argued. The president argued that the Span ish soldier;’, naturally mutinous and rebellious, arc humiliated and sore in defeat. He fears they will break over the nominal discipline that is main tained and leave Cuba as their anceo tors entered It on "a tide of blood and In a cloud of smoke.” They have no further responsibility In tho mat ter. The soldiers themselves are the constabulary and therein the president reads the danger of the situation. What He Thinks Geo. Fltzhugh Lee takes the presi dent's view of the case. He wcu!<b gladly take orders to move the Seventh army corps across the straits. ASSIQNED. The Central Stamping Company of New York Has Failed.
