ACTS DELIBERATE Press Dispatches Give the Outline, but Commodore Must Wait for It All. MORE GENERAL MOVEMENT May be Expected to Follow Schley’s Action Very Promptly Oregon to Join Him. • 9 Cape Haytien, June 2. —‘According to in formation received here from hither'o ac curate sources, a decisive engagement be tween the United States ami Spanish fire s is expected to take place tod ty at Santia go. Washington, June 2- —'Tt is stated author itatively at the navy department at noon today that not a word lias been received from Schley as to the engagement at San tiago. Ttie officials express no surprise at this delay, ami account for It on several grounds. In the first place it is said the fleet com mander must wait until an engagement is completed before he makes a report, and that the press reports may give only the beginning of the action without waiting for its completion. There are intimations that the press re ports cover only the first features of Schley's movements and that until these movements are developed to a point where the results In view were actually achievd. the reports were not to be made on the Incidental phases of the general movement. Moreover, it is pointed out that the fleet commander must communicate with all the commanders of ships making up the fleet, in order to learn as to casualties, damage and all the circumstances of the engagement, and when thus informed his report is made ■deliberately, and this in turn must bo translated to the naval cipher code. When received here there is an other delay in deciphering the code dis patch. (Altogether It is claimed that the care taken in preparing dispatches delays them about twenty-four hours behind the press advices. It is thought the absence of ex act official Information might embarrass the work of the war board, but the offi cials say that this has not occurred. The official intimation is that the action of Tuesday is only the Initial phasp of a more general movement, strengthened by (the view that Schley would hardly at tempt an attack unless lie had some defi nite object in view. This object, it is be lieved is to learn exactly the number of ships in Santiago harbor and also to devel op the effectiveness of the fire of the Span ish forts at the entrance to the harbor. With these two points established be yond the slightest doubt, the campaign, military ami naval, could be executed VANDERBILT WEDS EDITH DRESSER.

Who Be come Rivals for Our Friendship. London, June 2.—Sentiment on the conti nent is gradually undergoing a change in rfsp.ct to the Hispano-American war European sentiment with the single excep tion of shat of Great Britain was strongly pro-Sp-anish at the beginning of the war and but for England there might have bet n European interference. Then the Germans began to see the pe culiar position in which they were di rectly to be placed—that of an ally to their ancient enemy—France. Then the advantages of good feeling with the and since a change of feeling toward the United States has gradually developed.. France has perceived the feeling en gendered in the United States mainly tinough her trade channels, and has has tened to bridge the chasm that was open treaty of reciprocity just signed. Now Russia is coming to the front, and her press gives recognition to the power of the United States in rhe world, and many pleasant things have already been said.

CHICKAMAUGA Four Regiments Broke Camp This Morning and Start for Tampa, Chattanooga, Tenn., June 2.—The Third Pennsylvania, First Illinois, Fifth Mary land and Sixty-ninth New York regiments of infantry left Chickamauga this morning. Camp was broken at 4 o’clock and by 6 o'clock the regiments were on the march to the railroad station. The Third Pennsylvania and the First Illinois marched nine miles to Ringgold, where the Western and Atlantic train was taken. The Fifth ‘Maryland and the Sixty-ninth New York marched five miles to Rossville, where the Southern railway trains were taken. Each regiment left camp with the bands playing, banners flying and amidst rousing cheers from thousands of comrades. The eight regiments sent from eher to Tampa were the best equipped and the best drilled in the big camp. MONEY QUESTION Improperly Thrown Into th Revenue Bill, Says Butler. Washington, June 2—(At the opening of today's session the senate passed the hill conferring American register upon the steamship China, one of the fleet of t | Pacific Steamship Company. The China has been chartered by the war department to transport troops to the Philippines. The China is now under the Hawaiian flag. The consideration of the war revenue bill was resumed and Mr. Butler, Populist, of North Carolina, addressed the senate. He regretted that the finance committee had not seen fit to present to the senate a genuine revenue hill. Under the circum stances the responsibility of the delay in the passage of the pending measure rests, said he, upon those who placed in the bill provisions that have no place in a revenue measure. He expressed regrets that those, holding views on the money question had seen fit to have those controverted ques tions of finance incorporated in the meas ure as it forced those who differed from the committee on those questions to discuss them. DELAYED~REPORT Os the Engagement at Santi ago Sent Out by the As sociated Press, On board the Associated Press Dispatch Boat Dandy off Port Antonio, June 1, (de layed. —The squadron commanded by Schley attacked the batteries at Santiago yesterday and also engaged the ships of Cervera which were lying in the harbor. The Spanish flagship Cristobal Colon, was struck twice by shells fired from the 'Massachusetts and the Spanish batteries were badly damaged by the fire of the cruiser New Orleans. The Spaniards fired 300 shots and the Americans one-fourth of that number. No American vessel were hit and no one on board the American ships was injured. The Spanish loss was heavy. PRESIDENT IS WITHOUT NEWS. Secretary of War Was One of His Principal Callers, but Had No News. Washington, June 2—The president was late reaching his desk this morning. Dur ing the forenoon callers from the two houses of congress were numerous. Though there was no news afloat as to the developments at the front there is a prolusion of uniforms at the White House, many volunteers now stationed at Camp Alger, appearing in full uniform among the sightseers, who nowadays throng the office and home of the president. Many men at the camp take advantage of opportunities to secure leave of absence from detachments to make the rounds of the capitol. That there was a total lack of official news at the White 'House was evident at 11 o’clock when ■Secretary Alger went into see the president. He spent only a few minutes and on emerging said he came over to see if there was any news and an nounced that there was .nothing of signifi cance. He then drove off saying he would leave for Philadelphia immediately. MORE FRAUD In tie Mexican War Veteran Fund is Hint ed At. Lexington, Ky . June 2—Major Alexan der Williamson, recording secretary of the National Association Mexican War Vete rans. has just received a letteer from the president, S, P. Tufts, of Centrailla, 111. "You are probably not aware." says the president, "that our association is meeting with considerable trouble in securing the books, records and funds from the assis tant secretary at Nashville. Tenn. I have written Major D. G. Wood, one of our veterans at Nashville, to hunt the man up and get hold of the records and money and I send them to Secretary W. R. Smith at Lexington. Major Williamson does not know who the assistant secretary at Nashville was, nor does Smith. Major Williamson says the amount of money involved is not much but he is highly indignant that the associa tion, composed, as it is, of old decrepit men. should be defrauded out of a single cent, if it has been defrauded. The next national meeting will occur in Louisville. Ky., September 21 and 22 next. On the 20th the state reunion will be held it Harrodsburg, from which town the Kentucky delegates will go to Louisville, when the state meeting shall be over. Last year when the national reunion was held there were about 5,000 survivors of the ! Mexican war. but death has been busy among the'm the past winter. CANNON ASKED FOR RUSH ACTION On the Urgent Deficiency Bill Providing for Campaign Expenses. Washington.

Philtipine and Porto Rico campaigns, submitted yesterday by Secretary Alger. < hairman Cannon of the committee sax’s it is urgent that an appropriation be im mediately made and wanted the house to act with a limit of thirty minutes for de bate on each side, with the idea of getting i the bill through the senate promptly and made a law today. THE MACON NEWS. DO NOT TREAT PRISONERS WELL United States Officials are Facing Some Serious Charges. BRITISH CONSUL KICKS And Obtains Very Prompt Satisfac tion From the State Depaat ment at Washington. Washington. June 2—The complaints made against the United States officers at Key West of improper treatment ofthe captives on the prizes brought in by the American vessels, are' being daily rein forced and are creating so much dissatis faction here that it would not be surprising if the prizes hereafter taken by naval vessels are ordered further north to Char leston, for instance, thus depriving the Key West officials of the fat fees which they have been making from this source. First came the report of Cadet Jones with charges against officials which will now be formally investigated by court martial. The latest case in this connection is with the British ship Restoniel, captured off Santiago. This vessel was brought into Key West with a prize crew and although her British nationality was perfectly evi dent, the officials at that port for some unexplained reason positively refused to permit the captain to communicate with the British vice counsul. The British em bassy here being advised of the fact, made prompt representations to the state de partment with the result that orders were forwarded to the district attorney’s office at Key West to at once put the captain of the Restomel in communication with the vice consul. FOR MORE MEN. Lieutenants of the Georgia Companies Ex pected Here Soon. According to the reports from Washing ton with regard to increasing the strength of the volunteer army, it is expected that one of the lieutenants from each of the companies that went from Macon will be here within a day or two for the purpose of gathering additional recruits for their respective companies. The war department, according to the reports from Washington has decided to increase-the strength of the companies to 108 men, an addition of twenty-four to the number first recruited. Each of the Macon companies carried from 77 to 100 men, or an averageof 80 or 81 men to the company. In order to bring them up to-the requisite number under the new order therefore, it will require several more men for each of the companies that went from 'Macon. The four companies which went from here will require therefore, about 100 more men in order to recruit them up to the newly designated strength. The opinion of many of the military men here is that the lieutenants will find little trouble in getting enough men to fill up their ranks on the new' basis. While it is considered that Macon has furnished her full-pro portion of volunteers, a call for additional troops for the companies from the regi ment, is a different thing from a call for new volunteers, and the response would undoubtedly be much larger. ONE OF NATURE'S NOBLEWOMEN. Death of Miss Guillon, of the Academy for the Blind. The death of Miss Hannah Guillon, which occurred yesterday at the Academy for the Blind, marks the passing out of one of nature’s noblewomen, whose life’s work has been carried on quietly -and without even the barest mention, but whose death will be a 'bitter loss to everyone with whom she had been thrown in contact. Miss Guillon, had been a teacher at the Academy for the Blind (or the last forty six years. She came to this country from England and. leaving behind the chalk cliffs of Abion, she never saw her native shore again. In fact, shortly after com ing to America she lost her eyesight, or nearly so. and went to the Pennsylvania Institute. From there she came to Georgia as a teacher. Sheh is 'believed; to have bee t one of the best teachers of the blind in the country, and was thoroughly in love with her work. In fact she lived for others. Her great happiness was in the thought that she was doing good among those who were afflict ed like herself. About ten days ago she was taken sick, and in spite of every attention she died yesterday afternoon at 3 o’clock. The funeral will take place this after noon from the Academy for the Blind at 5 o'clock, and the interment will be in Riverside cemetery. The following will act as pallbearers: Messrs. B. C. Smith, T. D. Tinsley, A. L. Miller, Charles E. Campbell. John L. Hardeman. T. U. Conner, and Geo. B Jew ett. The funeral services will be conducted by Rev. J. L. White, of the First Baptist church. OLD TIME TACTICS, Soldiers at Ch’ckamauga Drilled in Old- Time Way. Chickamauga, June 2. —In its search for the most effective war tactics the United States seems to be carried back again to the days when the Indians and backwoods men fought for supremacy in "Indian" style, original with Americans. They fired concealed behind shrubs, bowlders and trees, and were ’ invincible when pitted against soldiers well trained in platoon and battalion firing. To that end every regiment at Chicka mauga park devotes all gun practice to skirmish fire with the old Indian and zou • ave tactics of lying on the ground. tiring and then getting away unseen. The visitor may be strolling in Chicka mauga’s woods, fancying shat he is alone, when a shrill whistle interrupts his rev erie. From every tree a human form and : gun appears. There is another whistle. ; and then man and weapon disappear. The . amazed watcher stands a minute, again hears the whistle. foHowed by a click of the rifles a square away. It is only a company of soldiers out for skirmish practice. In this way they cover an immense amount of territory. Other than the sound of the weapons and the whistle of the captain there is but little noise. NEW THINGS Ip ladles' neckwear- Harry L. Jones 00. *o MACON NEWS THURSDAY JUNE 2 1898. VOLUNTEERS PASSJHROUGH Three Thousand Troops From Chickamauga in the City Today, HAILED FROM INDIANA And From the District of Columbia —Treated Royally by the Acme Brewing Company. • ■ Between two and three thousand vol unteers passed through Macon this morn ing on the Central and the Southern rail roads. They were the first of the volunteers from Chicamauga for the front and were in the best of spirits in anticipation of ■active service. The first to arrive was the 157th In diana volunteers under Colonel George M. Studebaker. The regiment is made up of about a thousand men, including the staff, ‘and are well equipped for service. They are a fine looking body of men and enjoyed the visit to Macon verv much. They stopped out in the yards some dis tance from the depot. The officers took 'breakfast at the Brown House and coffee ■was served out to the men at the depot. The 157 th Indiana can boast the young est ‘captain in the service of that state and one of the youngest in the service. Captain Joseph E. Gears, of Company E, of Elkhart, Ind., is not yet 21 years old and is considered one of the best posted military men *in the country. He has a boyish appearance, but a pleasant address and is very popular with the officers and the men. The Indiana troops were given an oppor tunity to liberally sample Macon beer. The train, made up in three sections, stopped near the 'brewery and Mr. Alex Block gave orders to open up as many kegs as they might want to drink. The boys appreciated it and for som'be time it was difficult to get near the brewery. The First regiment of the District of Columbia came in over the Southern rail way early and was in the city for some ‘hours. They were not as well situated as the boys from Indiana and did not get-a share of the beer that was going around. All of the men seemed to be delighted to get away from Chicamauga, though they say it is a very beautiful camping ground. They want to get nearer to the seat of war. OREGONSENT TO JOIN SCHLEY. Cruiser New York and Two Colliers Will Add to • His Fleet. Kingston, Jamaica, June 2—(Copyright ed) —Advices received here from Port An tonio today say that Commodore Schley has been notified by the navq department that the battleship Oregon, the first-class armored cruiser. New York, another cruiser, and two colliers have been sent to Santiago. REPUBLICANS OF THE STATE. Calling of a Convention Left Optional With a Committee. Atlanta, Ga., June —The Republicans of Georgia may have a state ticket in the field this year, and then again they may not. In fact, thej’ may not even have a state convention, thus depriving the colored cit izens of his biennial opportunity to “vote" and build platforms. After discussing the situation at length the state committee of the party yester day left the determination of calling a convention with Col. Walter Johnson, chairman, and a sub-committee, to be ap pointed by himself. , The state committee met in the senate chamber at noon yesterday with sixty-tWo members present. W. ‘H. Johnson, United States marshal for the northern district of Georgia, presided as acting chairman, in the absence of Col. A. E. Buck, United States minister to Japan, who was elected chairman for four years by the last state convention. J. H. Deveaux, of Savannah, the secre tary, was in his place, and prominent Re publicans from all parts of the state were in attendance. A resolution indorsing President McKin ley was unanimously adopted and the ap pointment of Col. A. E. Buck as United States minister to Japan was commended. On the question of indorsing the presi-* dent’s appointment, however, Col. S. A. Darnell was disposed to differ with his brethren. He thought the Ninth congres sional district, with 8,000 Republicans, had not received the recognition deserved, anj said some men unworthy to hold office had bee appointed. This animadversion is understood to have bad reference to the fact that he was not appointed United States district attorney. Col. Walter Johnson’s course as acting chairman was indorsed and the election of a chairman was passed over, the idea be ing that there was no vacancy until Col. Buck resigned. Therefore, Mr. Johnson will continue as acting chairman. FIFTY THOUSAND' ' TO BE FED There is Evidence That Thev Are Getting Ready to Ship Troops. Washington, May 2 —Evidence of elab orate preparations making for the subsis tence of the troops mobilized and to be sent to Tampa is obtained from the fact that the commissary's department has now on hand at that place five millions rations, subsistence for an army of 50,000 for one hundred days. The supply is i>ejng in creased daily in view of the arrival of ad ditional soldiers to be employed in the army of occupation at Cuba and Porto Rico. ALL'IS QUIET.

Women of Macon Will Meet on Saturday at * Five O’clock. The ladies of Macon are requested to meet at the Public Library Saturday af ternoon at 5 o’clock for the puroose of forming themselves into a relief associa tion for the Macon soldiers now in camps. Theh idea is to begin the work now and to try to raise an adequate amount of money for any calls that may be made upon the association. Even now there are many things that the ladies can do that will materially add to the comfort of the soldiers, and if they are ordered to Tampa or to Cuba, they will need many things that are not 'provided by the government. Other cities have already formed similar associations and Macon must not be slow in carryin gor her own. However opposed most Southern women have been to this war, they are compelled to be interested 'because so many husbands, sons, brothers and friends have enlisted, and the men who have thought that their first duty lay home, will be glad of the opportunity to contribute to the comfort of those who have nlistd. All of th woman’s clubs and the non chib members are earnestly requested to meet at the Public Library Saturday af ternoon and make the occasion an enthu siastic one. It is hoped that the Daughter;', of the Confederacy and the Daughters of the Revolution will be among those pres ent. SPANIARDS WATCHED. Strict Surveillance of United States Secret Service Department. The presence of United States Secret Service men in Georgia for the past few days gave rise to all kinds of speculation as to what they were doing here. The officers are a part of the Secret Ser vice Corps of the army, and they were here working out a plan that was put into operation a short time after war had been declared. A careful lookout is being kept on all •Spaniards in the United States. Every ibig city is visited by the secret service men, and all Spanish families, their places of residence, occupation of those who work, and their associates, are placed on record' An effective but quiet espionage is kept in this way. and if any Spaniard attempted to get word to the Spanish army he would soon find himself in durance vile, with a charge of being a spy facing him. The government will in a short time have a secret directory of every Spanish family in the United States. CRISTOBAL COLON, ONLY SHIP Os the Spanish Fleet in the Harbor, Savs Spanish Am bassador in London. London, June 2 —The Spanish embassa dor in London. Count ißreon, In an inter vit tofnv is quoted as supporting the as sertion made in Madrid that the Cristobal ■Colon was the only important Spanish ves sel in the harbor of Santiago during the recent engagement there. One paper pre dicts that Admiral Cervera’s movements are likely to furnish startling news in the near future. CONFEDERATE BONDS. Validity of Investments in Them During the War Affirmed. Washington, June 2.—An opinion was rendered in the United States supreme court today in the case of Mary Anne G. Baldy vs. John 'H. Hunter; administrator, affirming ■ the validity of investments in Confederate bonds 'during the civil war. In rendering the opinion, Justice Har lan said: “The transactions between per sons actually residing within the territory dominated by the .government of the Con federate states were not invalidid, for the reason only that they occurred under the sanction of the laws of that government, or of any local government recognizing its authority. The preservation of order, the maintenance of police regulations, the prosecution of crimes, the protection of property, the enforcement of contracts, the celebration of marriages, the settle ment of estates, the transfer and descent of property and mimilar or kindred sub jects were, during the war, under the con trol of the local governments constituting the so-called Conferedate states. What occurred or was done in respect of such matters under the authority of the laws of these local de facto governments should not be disregarded or held invalid merely because the governments were organized in hostility to the union established by the national constitution, because the ex istence qf the war did not relieve those within the insurrectionary lines from the necessity of civil obedience, nor destroy the bonds of society. The case came to this court on a writ of error from the supreme court of Georgia, and the opinion of that court was affirmed. WILL MAKE A CHANGE. Big Clothing House Will Sac rifice Its Entire Stock at Once. This morning Mr. Dave Wachtel, mana ger of the Star Giothing Company, ran up his colors above the doors of his tore an nouncing the biggest “sacrifice sale” in the history of Macon. Mr. Wachtel has •been forced to do this on account of a change in business, and because, too, of the fact that the war has caught aim with too large a stock. He says that he cannot afford to wait to dispose of the stock in the usual way—he had rathe; lose money than time in this instance. As a consequence, he has mark ed down e . erything in stock, and from to day until further notice he proposes to sell clothing, hats, furnishings, underwear, everything, in fact, at and below New York cost. This is certainly a rare opportunity to secure bargains In summer clothes, com ing as it does, almost at the beginning of the season when everyone needs the very things that are to be sold at such a sacri fice. The Star Clothing Company’s stock is unusually large, and contains goods of every quality, and all made up for this season. It is not likely that the people of Macon will nave such an opportunity again soon. Nothing like it has been known since the famous “clothing war” last year. This time tMr. Wachtel proposes to waive cost and dispose of his entire stock at once in e drr that he may carry out his contemplated change in business before fall. * J FEVER PROOf MEN OF WAR Colonel Ray Left Washington Today and Reaches Ma con Tomorrow. fiIITUG TUI Pffl REW For the Reception of the Men Who Have Had All the Diseases and Now Would Face Bullets, Interest now centers in the assembling of the fever iproof soldeirs who are to 'be quartered at Central City park and whose colonel leaves Washington today for (Ma con.

A general impression seems to exist that an immune Is something different from any one of anything else. People, p<?rhaps, ex pect to see men having the appearance of germs, microbes or barbary apes. They seem to think that an immune as the re sult of yellow fever”, is a peculiar appear ing individual, kin to Yellow Jack and consequently resembling him. At any rate that he is not like the ordinary volunteer to whom everyone has 'became laccumtom e<J. The immune, however, will ’be found to be a very ordinary- individual. He has nothing about him to separate him from the recruit of 18118 who dressed in his civil ian clothing of more or less respectability, has anything but an herioc appearance. The immune is merely a “Tommy At kins” of the west who has had yellow fe ver, chills and fever, swamp fever, enteric fever, continued or typhoid fever, small pox, diphtheria, scarlet fever, mumps, colic as an infant, chicken pox, toothache, rheumatism, neuralgia, swelled head, and any other of the common epidemic dis eases. Os course it is impossible to enforce the production of doctor’s certificates to show that the patriot has gone through the full course and has graduated as an immune and a first class hypocondrac will be almost certain to get in easy enough. To be ,a good liar will give a man a po sition as private in the immunes. To be a better or a best liar will give him rank ac cording to his ability. ■Tn other words, the immune is popularly supposed to be 'fever but not bullet proof, but having gone through the course pre ■ paratory to graduation the supposition Is that he was not intended for any every day death, and killed in battle is destined to be too common a thing entirely. The merchants of IMacon, however, are glad. The immune is a soldier with an appetite, and while the government does not propose to pamper its fever proof mob, it will feed ’em up with its regulation lav ishness—and the dealers in things edible, drinkable and wearable will be .proportion ately benefited. The jobbers here in grain, meats, gro- | ceries, etc., will have a first-class oppor- ; tunity to sell heavily to the government. The impression that all the supplies would be bought away from here and shipped here is not. considered well based. The commissary department, is only too glad to get supplies at the point where the camp is located if it is possible to do so. 'Enjoying such admirable freight facilities there would be no reason why Macon should not sell enormous quantities of sup plies to the portion of the army stationed here. The commissary department at Tampa bought largely from dealers there, and would have been glad to have done a heavy business with the jobbers on the spot if the had had the stocks and the fa cilities for doing business of the required magnitude. The local dealers will find that they can do a volunme of business with the government that will surprise them. A dispatch from Waycross says: 'Captain Jefferson Wilcox, of Colom! Patrick Henry Ray’s regiment of immunes came over today from Willacoochee, and stated that he would have his headquam ters for the present at. Willacoochee, where he would receive the volunteers for his company. iHe now has thirty volunteers, twenty-five from Bainbridge and five from Wilacoochee. It is his intention to raise the company to a war footing before the middle of June. fHis territory for recruits extends over South Georgia and Southwest Georgia. Captain Wileox has recommended Gap tain T. H. Parker, of the Oak City Guards of Bainbridge, for first lieutenant of his company. Captain Parker has secured twenty-five volunteers from Bainbridge, ami says he can get more recruits if He is sure to he endorsed by the Georgia senators and representatives and will no doubt, be appointed first lieutenant. Captain Wilcox is a well known physi cian of Willacoochee, and has been mayor of his town and a member of the legisla ture from Coffee county. He is at present state senator from the Fifth district. The Savannah Morning News says: Mr. Daniel Morgan Smith, Jr., has been appointed first lieutenant In The company now being organized in Savannah by Mr. J. A. Thomas for Colonel Patrick Ray’s regiment of immunes. Mr. Smith was prominent in military circles in Florida, having served as first lieutenant of Company D, Florida stats troops, for a number of years. During his residence of two years in Savannah he has been a member of the Guard’s battalion, and was recently appointed corporal. Mr. Smith is a lawyer by profession and is aa immune. The whole regiment will probably be mustered in at Macon about th? middie of next week. MRS. HARRIS’ FUNERAL Largely Attended This Morning by Friends of the Family. The funeral of Mrs. N. E.
