ESTABLISHED 1884 AHE HEADED FDRHAVANA Spanish Warships are loose and Cruising Around Look ing for Opportunity To RUN BLOCKADE Were Sighted bv an Ameri can Gunboat and Failed to Return Signal. TRANSPORTS IN RANGER It is Thought, However, That the Vessels May Have Been Brit ishers But Why Put Out the Light? Key West, June !• —.Four suspicious look ing vessels thought to be Spanish warships are or have ben attempting to elude the block uilng squadron oft Havana and enter that purl. When last seen on the night before they were in Nicholas channel, about eighty milts off 'Havana and heading in the di rection of Havana A government tug from -Cardenas joined the American fleet off Havana yesterday bearing a message for Watson from the Auk gunboat. This was to the effect that on Tuesday night the gunboat sight'd four vtssels thought to be a battleship, two cruisers and a torpedo boat between Salt cay and Padre d< I Cruz light. The gunboat followed tin in and when within hailing distance hoisted the private fleet signal. The strangers answered with three masthead lights which were not required signal and Immediately thereafter they -put out all lights. The gunboat cruised aft.i r the strangers sot two or three miles, once approaching within i’.ooo yards hut eventually aban doned the chase and reported to the near est ship of the United States fleet. ■Advices were then sent to Commodore Watson by the government tug and dis patch, d the ship to Key West. The com mander of the gunboat which followed the four vessels, says he is satisfied they were Spanish warships, cither trying to get into Havana or lying in wait for trans ports. Th.« affair, however, is involved in doubt. The British cruiser Talbot left Havant Tuesday and she may have been one of lhe vessels sighted by the gunboat. SAGASTA SAYS WAR NOT WANTED. Spain, He Says, Was Forced Into It—No Cabinet Crisis. 'Madrid. June 9.—(Copyright.)—The cor respondent of the Associated Press has had an interview with Senor Sagasta. the pres ident of the council of ministers. The correspondent said: “Sir. I want to ask your views on three points: “The cabinet difficulty said to exist be tween Senor Gatuazo and Puigeerver. “The real reason for Senor Castillos’ re turn to Paris and the truth as to the for eign relations of Spain—is she. or is she not seeking aliance. and what are the prospects of peace?" Senor Sagasta replied: “The second, third and fourth all bear on the same subject, foreign relations. “ \t the present delicate juncture 1 do •ot feel justified in spaking thereof. With re*v«cts to the peace prospects, informa tion could be more easily obtained in Washington than In Madrid, since there is no desire for war. Spain has been driven into the war in defense of her rights and her national exigence. “The United States are the aggressors, ftnl it is for them to say when peace shall prevail "As regards the cabinet dissension, the Question between Gatuazo and Puigeerver is purely an academic one. There is no danger o fa cabinet crisis.” NOTTINGHAM WAS ARRESTED Brunswick Authorities Say that He Spread Yellow Fever Reports.. Brunswick. June 9.—R. N.

THE MACON NEWS. HARD TO HIT 'EM IN NIGHT TIME Spanish Torpedo Boat De-, strover Made Effort to Get at Our Boats. QUICKLY ORIVEN BACK Sent Out Two Torpedoes and One of Them Was Picked Up—Keep a Sharp Lookout. Off Santiago de Cuba, via Kingston, Sat urday. June 4.—(Copywright.)—-The firing by the New York and the New Orleans, briefly reported last night, was directed against a Spanish torpedo boat destroyer, probably the -Furor or the Pluton. The character of the enemy was not defi nitely known until the next day when the torpedo boat destroyer found two loaded torpedoes floating off the shore. Neither of them had been discharged. One sank but the other was hauled on board the Porter. It exactly fitted the description of the torpedoes carried by the Pluton and Furor. It is believed the torpedo boat restroyer escaped. She was seen by the New Or leans when too far away to do ony dam age and the heavy fire must have driven her ‘back. This daring attempt by the Spaniards, which was fortunately frustrated by the vigilcnee of thcNew Orleans’ lookout, is the first instance of its kind since the begin ning of the war. It illustrates how hard it is to hit a small object at night. HONOR FOR MERCER. Elected Members of the Southern Oratorical Association. Several days ago Mercer University was elected a member of the 'Southern Inter state Oratorical Association, which was an honor that has never before -been con ferred upon a Georgia college. The annual contest of the association will be held at Monteagle, Ten-n.r in the latter part of July, and the contest will decide -who is the champion orator of the 'South. Vanderbilt, Sewanee, University of Vir ginia. Tulane and other leading colleges and universities of the South will be repre sented in the contest. The Mercer men feel that it is a great distinction that their college is one of the few Southern institu tions which have been able to secure mem bership in the association. There*was great enthusiasm at Mercer wnen the news was heard and the oratori cal association of the college at once held a metting to elect th’eir representative in the coming contest. Mr. John Roach Straton, who holds the championship of Georgia in oratory, was unanimously elected, and he will go as the representative of the state, as well as that of his own college. PRICE OF TEA. Tea Drinkers Will Have to Furnish Sinews of War, The. price of tea, to the consumers of -Macon, may soon be ex-pected to advance 12 cents or more a pound. This is one of the -burdens that the people must bear as a result of the war. Tea is a luxury, or evidently so considered bj' congressmen, and must bear a decidedly heavy propor tion of the additional expenses of the gov ernment. “The South,” said a wholesale grocer yesterday, “is, comparatively speaking, not a heavy tea consuming section of the country. The negroes, who make up almost half our population, use but little tea. Still, the addition of a tax of 10 cents per pound will net the government a large revenue from this section, although no where near what it will receive from the Northern and 'Western states. There has been some anticipatory advance already, but the full increase in price will not come until the final enactment of the bill con taining the tea tax. As I understand its -provisions, the stocks in jobbers' hands will ibe subject to the tariff of 10 cents a pound, just the same as on new lots ar riving in the country. The advance in cost to the consumer -will doubtless be at lehst 12 cents a pound, perhaps a trifle more. The effect may be a reduction in the consumption of tc?, but more likely it will be seen in an increased demand for cheaper grades than consumers have been using. This tax is one of the heaviest im posed. and is one that will be directly felt by the public.” Mr. 'P. Ketchum of Pike City. Cal., says: “During my brother’s late sickness from sciatic rheumatism Chamberlain’s Pain Balm was the only remedy that gave him any relief.” Many others have testified to the prompt relief from pain which this liniment affords.

WILL ASK EUR HAWAIAN ISLES President Will Send a Mes sage to Both Houses of Congress. • ADVISING ANNEXATION. It is Probable That the Message Will Go In Some Day Next Week—A Strategic Move. * s. Washington, June 9.—-The president has in contemplation, according to a senator whp was in consultation with him today, the submission of a special message to the two houses of congress, calling tor the im mediate annexation of Hawaii as a milita ry necessity. •According to this senator, the message will be delayed for a few days to await the action that may be taken by Speaker Reed and the committee on rules, but will very likely go in with as little delay as possible early next week. The purport of the message is a special plea for favorable action calling attention to the strategic importance of the islands and the great advantage that would accrue in the present war situation through secur ing them, and other points in Hawaiian policy already known. While the president has not positively announcel his purpose to send the mes sage, the senator who talked with him says the president is very favorable to this plan and it is likely it will be adopted and a strong plea made to congress for immedi ate action. , The matfer has not been generally dis cussed and a member of the foreign rela tions committee asked about it today, said he had heard it was proposed, tout so far he knew nothing of what had been fiffally decided upon. ■, 1 GRIFFIN’S WATER SUPPLY. City is Upon the Verge of a Drought Owing to Dry Season, • Griffin, Ga., June 9 —The water supply ’for this city has been a serious question for several weeks and has caused our citi zens and th,e council more worry than any subject, they have tackled in some time. The long dou-ght of several months is caus ing the wells in the city to go dry, and the sudden- advent of 2,400 soldiers at Camp Northen proved too -great a drain on the waterworks and last week they gave out entirely. The soldiers and all of the citi zens who depended on the waterworks have been placed in a very uncomfortable situa tion-? No water could be obtained to sprinkle the streets, work was suspended on, the Methodist church and Manager Brewer was put at his wits’ end to secure enough water to run the ice factory. The city authorities did all in their power to relieve the situation, and put a large force to work digging a.,.we1l near the old spring at the waterworks and yesterday afternoon they struck a -bold stream of cold, clear water, which gushed from its rock-bound channel at the rate of about 600 gallons per minute. • Citizens and soldiers alike were delight ed to hear of this fortunate find and with in a few days Griffin will have all the pure spring water she needs and enough to sup ply the wants «f Georgia’s full quota of volunteers. This discovery was most op portune. as the situation was gettjng very critical. HAVE NOT USED DYNAMITE YET. The Big Gun of the Vesuvius Have Not Been Tried Against Santiago. Washington, June 9 —The advocates of dynamite guns as a weapon of warfare are urging the authorities here to bring the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius into more ac tive service where she can demonstrate her ability against the fortifica-tions at Santiago and other points of .attack. The Vesuvius has on board three sizes of dynamite projectiles, namely those car rying 500 pounds of dynamite: @9O pounds and 100 pounds. Another projectile carry ing fifty pounds is available, but none of these is carried bv the Vesuvius at pres ent. She was equipped by heavier class of dynamite shells as it was decided to give her real experience as ,a factor warfare. The friends of the Vesuvius believe that that opq or two shells containing 500 pounds cf dynamite each, landed in Morro Castle would make short work of that fortress and it was thought that the pres ent war would afford an opportunity for showing whether this mode of using dyna mite was practicable. Same the naval officers think the Vesu vius has not trained her guns upon San tiago thus far because of the feeling of danger which attends the handling of these guns. There is considerable hesitancy also over firing these huge masses of dynamite as naval officers believe that it has not yet been proven that they will not explode be fore getting under way.

RATE ON SMALL FREIGHT INCREASED Railroads Have Put Up the Rate and It is a Hard ship. LA. recent notice sent out by the Southern Freight 'Association authorizing roads us ing Southern freight elassifi'eation ad vances the charge on small single ship ments as follows: “The minimum charge on a single ship ment of one class from one consignor to one consignee shall not be less than the rate on one hundren pounds of the class to which the shipment Delongs, provided the charges hall not be les than 50 cents. 'Upon interstate shipments the least ef fect this order can have is to double form er charge of 25 cents and in case of high class articles, treble and quadruple charge. This applies to shipments from Georgia into South Carolina, Florida. Alabama, etc., ami num these states into Georgia. Shipments between points in Georgia will still move at the'2s cents minimum, and actual weight, rate. 'No notice has jtet 'been received as to whether all the railroads wil luse this au thority and regulate tftieir rates according ly ■ Gunpowder is article of which numerous small shipments are made.’ This is now charged as double first class. Other lines are cited to show that on small shipments the increase in freight costs would be greatly increased. The matter will doubtless receive the atten tion of the shippers who are interested anda united stand may be taken by the freight bureaus of the south against the new movement to increase the charges on small single shipments. 'Less than four ■ years ago there was a similar step taken by the railroads, but he protests were so numerous and determined that it was soon abandoned. MACON SOLDIERS.
