Washington, June 3.—A bill authorizing the secretar-- of the treasury to keep cer tfiin life sav.ng stations on toe Atlantic and gulf .oa;ts ,pened an J manned during June end July. .u.d ap,i.O>.’a.'t“g s7v,(wo for the I'ee’S'.iiv expenses.. w.;« ly ' the senate a’ the op-t ig of ijjij's ses sion. The senate concurred in the house amendment to the bill removing all the i disabilities imposed by the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution. The consideration of the war revenue measure was resumed. In the course of a brief colloquy concerning the priority of the amendments yet to be considered. Jones. Democrat, of Arkansas, expressed the opinion that all the revenue features of the bill ought to be complete and passed uixau before the bond provision was passed upon, because the amount of revenue raised might have a great weight in de termining other pending amendements. Hale. Republican, of Maine, inquired as tp whether Jones thought the small amount comparatively, which would be raised by the pending revenue amend men is would be sufficient- 1 have no doubt,” he continued, “that . if this war lasts a year it will cost the government between seven and eight hun dred millions.” Teller, of Colorado, reviewed the tariff Legislation during the past ten years, and said it was evident that this bill was not to be a tmporary masure. It was to all in i tents and purposes a permanent law. The expenses of War would be large, but they would not end with the close of the war. The I nited States, he said, proposed to have a great navy, commensurate with the dignity and development of our country. I and in addition, <ll cities along the At , lantic and Pacific coasts had a right to de ' mand protection from foreign invasion. THE MACON NEWS. SIGSBEE SURE FLEET IS THERE Talks Freelv to a Reporter and Says He Saw the Vis cava at Santiago, THE, UDI KiniEll Ilf, He Says, Beyond the Shadow of a of a Doubt—He Put linto New York This Morning. New York, June 3.—The. cruiser St. Paul came in early today under Captain Sigs bee, and proceeded to the navy yard. He refused to be interviewed regarding the service in the vicinity of Santiago, at which port, it has been said, Sigsbee ran the St. Paul well into the mouth of the harbor and obtained the first definite in formation or the presence there of Cerve ra’s squadron. Captain Sigsbee relented later and af ter visiting Commodore Bunce, said to a reporter: ”1 have made my men practice since the first day, and I am well satisfied with their work at the guns. “While off Santiago with Schley I saw two more Spanish cruisers and Schley saw two Torpedo boats. There is no question that they are bottled up as tight as can be in Santiago harbor. “I went in so close that I made a sketch elf their fortifications, which .1 am sending to Washington. “Their guns could easily have reached me, but the batteries made no attempt to fire, for what reason I do not know. ‘V\s soon as I arrived outside of Santiago there were indications of the presence of Cervera’s fleet inside beyond the hills. •‘I hugged the mouth of the harbor so closely that it would have .been impossible for anything afloat to sneak out without our seeing them. “It. w'as either the third or fourth day af ter our arrival that I saw two Spanish vessels which I was sure was the Viscaya and the 'Cristobal Colon. They crept cau tiously into the stream and got to the mid dle of the channel. As soon as they caught sight of me they scampered back as rapid ly as they could steam. “As soon as we arrived off the harbor I announced my presence by the courtesy of a salute. “The fort evidently did not intend to ac cord me the courtesy due in return, for its guns remained silent. “When I was satisfied with the practice my men had had I steamed the St. Paul out of range and resume scout duty out side. “It was directly under the guns of a fort and within easy range that I took the Restormel with 2.400 tons of coal aboard. “Thiscoalwas evidently intended for the -Spanish fleet and the attempt of the Re stormel to run our blockade and enter San tiago harbor would of itself have been evidence that the Spanish snips were there.” YELLOW FEVER Developed on Board a Steamer Just Arrived at New York. New York, June 3.—Two cases of yellow fever developed on the steamer Garrick on her voyage from South American ports, which terminated here today.

The funds are to be used for the relief of the soldiers during the war. The ex president expresses regret at being unable to attend the meetings of the society here. Among other things, the letter contains the following: “War is a national affliction, even when best justified and most clearly unavoidable. “Whatever proof it furnishes of man’s advance in civilization and growth of hu man kinship, it is apt to be found in the efforts to which it gives rise for the alle viation of the horrors or battje and for the relief of those who must suffer and die. “The society of the Red Cross devoted to these humane and merciful administra tions. derives their hearty co-operation and aid of all good citizens who estimate at their just value the patriotism and de votion of those who fought in their coun try’s cause.” COTTON FUTURES.

CHICKAMkViA ALLjMMER It is Reported That , the Vol unteers Will Remain There for Drilling, OFFICIALS DECLINE TO TALK But the Report Has Created Quite a Sensation Among the Sol diers Now There.

MORE TRANSPORTS Over Thirty Vessels Obtained to Carry the Troops to Cuba. Washington, June. 3—Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn, of the war department, yester dey secured additional transports of capa city of approximately 5,000 men for the Cuban army of invasion. This swells the total number of available vessels to over theirty, with a carrying capacity of nearly 30,000 men. The ships secured yesterday will be sent to Florida ports, chiefly Tampa, as fast as practicable, and prepared for service. The vessels are the Comanche, of the Clyde line, mow at New York, capacity 1,200 men; the Louisiana and the Knicker bocker, of the Cromwell line, one of which is at New York and the other at New Or leans, 1,000 men each; the Specialist and the Unionist, belonging to a foreign line, and which before the war plied between Mobile, Ala., and Porto Rico, estimated to carry 1,000 men each. They are now at Mobile. The chartering of the additional ships at this time is taken as an indication of •the promptness with which the war de partment proposes to undertake the offen sive operations against the Spanish in the West ‘lndies and of the intention to carry out tlie plan indicated by Secretary Alger in his letter to the house asking for more' money to be immediately available . The understanding at the war depart ment is that up to this time none of the troops of the regular army, which it was announced would sail this week, have ac tually left the United States, and the officials express their ignorance of the time when the embarkation is to take place. The latest information received here is that General (Miles is still at Tampa, and several -telegrams reaching here from him bear the name of that place. Arrangements for the second Philippine expedition are being hurriedly rushed at San Francisco and the officials here hope that it will not be very long before the five vessels which are to compose it steam out of the Golden Gate on their long voy age across the Pacific. WAR DID IT. What is Shown by the Record of the Vital Statistics. The record of vital statistics for the month of May, 1898, shows that in the month of May three young 'Deweys were born in this city. The fond parents of three infants tborn on or about the day of the great victory in the Philippines named their progeny Dewey. Another statistic that will give parents and public something to ponder over is that three secret marriages occurred dur ing the month and that the parents nor anyone else except the principals know anything of the affairs.

Madrid, June 3 —The Pais, a prominent Republican organ, says it is rumored that the United States fleet made a second at tack upon Santiago and the Americans forced the entrance into the harbor. In Spanish circles here the report is not believed. The Madrid newspapers maintain that Cervera is sailing in the direction of the Philippine islands. At 2 p. m. a dispatch received from Ha vana says in the chamber of representa tives there, Senor Giberja, the autonomist leader, presented a motion urging the gov ernment of Cuba to request the insurgents of that island to accept autonomy on the ground that the insurgents themselves “must be aware that the country is not ripe for independence.” The president of the chamber, the dis patch adds, declared that the government would entertain such a motion.

Maloney’s New Directory of Macon Will be Issued Soon. The Maloney Directory Company, through its representative, IMr. R. E. Wil kins, is now doing the business of the city preparatory to Volume X, 1898-99, Macon City Directory. The directory will issue immediately after the moving season in October, 1898. The company promises to make Volume X Macon City Directory more reliable and more worthy of commendation and support of the people, than any former publica tion —even to the last edition.

There are few sensible merchants who now question the fact that advertising pays. The most successful ones have-al ready demonstrated the fact to their own satisfaction and benefit. But-if there are any still doubtful and if there are those who doubt the ability of The News to reach the people, to bring results, they should have been inside of the Star Clothing Company's store hare this morning. They would have witnessed about the liveliest scene (witnessed in any Macon store for many a day. Goode were beng sold like hot cakes, and Mr. Wach tel’s force of salesmen and bundle wrap pers were kept busy every minute of the time. Before noon the bundle counters were filled with packages of clothing, hats, underwear, etc., already paid for and wait ing to be sent out. And all of this was the result of one ad. in yesterday’s News. It was a pretty large ad. and it cost something, it is true, but it sold for the Star Clothing more goods during the day than any one sales man, no matter how much his influence, could have sold in two or three weeks. These facts simply demonstrate what the right sort of ad. in the right sort of mefium can do when backed up "by right sort of prices. Mr. Wachtel made prices on his goods that would move them. He put a “Sacri fice” price on everything in his stock. And It was a real sacrifice, too. Then he pro ceeded to tell the people about it through The News. He told them nothing tha’t his salesmen were not instructed to stand up to —he stated nothing that he wouldn’t do. H<= said clothing and furnishings, etc., at prices that would make the people want to buy whether they could afford it or not. They came, they saw, they bought. And a merchant who a few days ago was won dering how he would get rid of o too large stock during war times, is today convinc that he adopted the only safe, reliable, quick method, The sale continues, but it cannot last long at the rate goods are being sold to day. The News did the work, Mr. Wachtel suffers the loss, the public get the benefit. LINEN SUITS. Good ones J 4.00 Harry L. Jones Co. ALL DOUBT IS NOW DISPELLED Atkinson and Berner Will Not Even be Represented in the Primaries. NO DELEGATS PUT OUT And the Lists Have Closed—All In terest Now Centres in the Legislative Race, The lists are closed and so far as the gubernatorial race is concerned Allen D. Candler has already passed 'the wire in Bibb county and has landed safely. The lists for delegates for the state house officers closed at noon today and at that time not a ißerner or an Atkinson man was within shooting distance of the court house. Candler delegates will stand alone and Gandhi delegates will be elected. The methods of his opponents in Bibb have been rebuked by the helplessness of even a sign of support for the candidates of the gang who would defeat Candler. So far as the rest of the ticket is con cerned there is of course some doubt. That doubt will not be dispelled, however, until the state convention meets on June 29th in Atlanta for it will then be known what state house officers having opposi tion will receive the vote of the people of Bibb county, through their delegates. The county officers with the exception of coroner will be without opposition and the great interest centers in the legisla tive race which has become brisk and seems destined to develop considerable snap before the polls close on 'Monday next. MAYOR IS HOME. Shook Hands With’Lee and Took a Look at the Troops- Mayor Price has returned from Tampa, where he spent a few days taking in the sights of what is now the biggest garrison town in the country.

While at Tampa the mayor met and shook hands with General Fitzhugh Lee and a number of other notable military men and visitors. The mayor says that the soldiers seem to be in good spirits and health. The weather is extremely warm during the day but the nights are cool. The trip to Tampa has done the mayor good and he says that he has returned to take up his work with renewed vigor.
