SHIfTEB HIS DEIiVED
And Will Not Reach Santiago Be
fore Friday at Noon—Per
haps Later.
Washington, June 14 —Official informa
tion reached Washington to the effect that
the licet, of transports with troops for San
tiago, which was supposed to have left
yesterday for Cuba, had not sailed up to
an early hour this morning.
No reason is stated so far aa is learned
for this very unexpected delay. Officials
positively decline to discuss the matter.
Later advices received during the after
noon show that the start was actually
made yesterday but the movement dragged
and many ships did not move until some
time in the forenoon.
I t is supposed now that all-the vessels
are now fairly under way.
The public will probably be fully in
formed tomorrow concerning the move
ment. As the authorities here have de
termined to withdraw censorship thus far
enforced from Florida points soma time
tomorrow.
Allowing three days for the trip Gen.
Shafter’s forces will be in the vicinity of
Santiago by Friday noon and it is ex
pected that debarkation will take the rest
of that day and night and part of the fol
lowing day.
The expected plans for this second in
vvading force will be matured at once
and that as a result another expedition
will leave from an Atlantic coast point
wihtin the next ten days, this 'time for
Porto Rico.
There are about 15 transports already
available and the list will be increased as
riipidly possible. Some ofthese may be
used for the later expedition, but those on
hand and to ibe secured will readily ac
commodate a force of 10,000 men.
Recent reports from Porto Rico indi
cates that the Spanish force does not ex«
ceed 4,000 or 5,000.

COAL CONTROVERSY

State Board of Arbitration in
Illinois Brings About an
Agreement.
Springfield. 111., June 14.—The state
board of arbitration has rendered its de
cision in the controversy between the Chi
cago-Virden Coal Co., the Virden Coal
Co., the Chatham Coal Co., the Girard
Coal Co., and the Ocara and King Mining
Co. and their employes.
The miners insisted on payments by the
(operators of the scale of 40 cents a ton
fixed by the sub-districts. The operators
refused to pay, claiming they could not
do so and compete in the market with
other mines.
The board finds that while the agree
ment fixing the scale is not a contract in
a technical sense, it is such an agreement
•that its terms should not be set aside ex
cept by the parties themselves. It has
met with the general acquiescence of 853
mines in the state, employing more than
33.000 men. The scale has been accepted
by all with the exception of the operators
of about a dozeTi mines, employing ap
proximately 1.500 men. No ease has so
far arisen in which the miners have re
fused to abide by the scale. i .
The board finds no ground to interfere
until the agreement shall have been mu
tally abandoned and-declines to set aside
the scale.

BLUE HAS SEEN
CEVERAS' FLEET
It is All in the Harbor of San
tiago de Cuba, Safelv
Bottled.
SAMPSON'S Din CABLE
Announcing the Attack on the Out
post of Marines in Which Four
and Surgeon Were Killed.
Washington, Junel4.—The navy depart
ment has posted the following:
Mole St. (Nicholas, June 13.—Lieut. Blue
has just returned after a detour of 70
statute miles of observation oi the harbor
of Santiago de Cuba. tHe reports Span
ish fleet is all there. The Spanish vigor
ously attacked the camp at Guantanamo.
An outpost of four marines were killed
and their bodies were mutilated barbar
ously. Surgeon Gibbs was killed.
Signed Sampson.
The last lingering doubt that may hava
existed as to the presence of Cervera’s
fleet tn its entirety in Santiago harbor iwas
removed when Admiral Sampson’s dispatch
reached t'he navy department last night.
According to Lieutenant Blue, the ships
have been actuaiilly seen by an American
officer, counted and inspected from such
points of vantage as are afforded by the
high hlllls surrounding the harbor.
Officials here are full of praise for
Blue’s achievement. Victor Blue has long
been known in the navy as an enterpris
ing and daring young officer, but it re
quired a good deal of courage for him to
go ashore in a hostile country and alone
to make this reconnaissance.
He was in the eye of the military law
nothing more or less than a spy and had
he been captured by the Spaniards would
have been executed.
-Considering the fact that the marines
fight at Guantanamo on last Saturday
night was really the first engagement of
the war on shore Sampson’s reference to
the affair in the dispatch posted this morn
ing was remarkably brief. Hence it is in
ferred that perhaps not much importance
has been attached by the public.
The action of Colonel Huntington in re
moving the men to a more secure point,
than the exposed position occupied by
them on the crest of the heights is taken
here as an indication that no movement ifi
being attempted iby the marine corps but
that it will limit its operations to the de«
tense of the small point in Guanatamo
hanbor to protect the coaling of our war
ships and perhaps serve as a cable station,
when the necessary operators and instru
ments are secured from Cape Haytien to
enable Sampson to re-open the cut cable.
It does not follow Iby any means that the
place seized and htild by the marines on
Guan tan a moo bay is to ibe used as the
point of debarkation of the United States
regular troops now on their way to Cuba,
on the contrary, there is the best reason
to believe that another point very much
adapted for landing has been selected.

"TAIL HAS BEGUN
TO WAGTHE DOG"
Leiter Has Something to Say
About the Climax of His
Wheat Deal.
NO COMPLAINT TO MAKE.
His Affairs are in Good Shape and
No Trustees Will be Appointed
or Court Appealed To.
Chicago, June 14—Jos. Leiter, speaking
of the collapse of has wheat deal said:
"It is a case where the tail has begun
to wag the dog. This statement has an
illustration in the fact that futures'began
breaking faster than cash wheat declined.
Logically, the condition should have bean
exactly the reverse? For several days—4n
fact. I may say, that for some weeks cash
wheat has been slow saile, and especially
in the northwest and around milling cen
ters generally. To a certain extent this
has been offset by a fair degree of activity
at the sealboard in response to an inquiry
from the other side, but the local markets
have been decidedly inclined to drag.
There has been a very steady marketing
of cash wheat but I cannot say as to the
quantities in which it has gone into home
consumption or abroad for foreign use.
“I see no objection to stating that all
my holdings of futures have been dis
posed of. A good deal of gossip has come
to me on the general subject of alleged
treacherous conduct on the part of North
western grain interests which I have al
ways heretofore .considered friendly to me
in a personal and business way, but I have
•nothing whatever to say on this abject. If
in the history of the deal there have been
events to which the public is interested it
is more than likely the facts will come out
in good time, but not from me.
“1 have no complaints to make or
charges to prefer against those with whom
I have been doing business. It is a source
of considerable satisifaction to me that my
affairs, for a moment more or less tangled,
are in a fairway of settileinent without
the intervention of a trustee, or without
invoking the machinery of the court as
woqld be necessary in the event of an as
signment.
"The Chicago trade will all be taken
care of—in fact I may say it has already
been protected, for I am even on the
market so far as September contracts are
concerned. The cash wheat business will
be transacted thorough.’’
There was a surprisingly steady open
ing on change today considering the
cables from Liverpool and the realizing
last night.
There were reports that grasshoppers
are ravaging the wheat fields in some sec
tions of South Dakota. The pit felt, how
ever, the effect of the Leiter collapse,
which is not soon to be forgotten.
LONDON SERENE.
Thinks the General Effect of Leiter’s Col
lapse Will be Good.
London, June 14.—The collapse of the
Leiter wheat corner has caused a panic in
the Liverpool wheat market.
The concensus of opinion among a
number of operators on Mark Lane is
that the English markets will gain steadi
ness now that t’he plunger operating with
out regard to market percedence is
shaken off.
It is asserted on Mark /Lane that the
collapse is due to Messrs. Armour and
Pillsbury. The newspapers generally re
joice at the break in wheat.

AGAINST LEITER
The Young Wheat Speculator
Seems to Be in Serious
Trouble.
New York, June 14. —Justice Daly of the
supreme count issued an attachment
against the property of Joseph Leiter, the
wheat speculator of Chicago for $793,925 in
favor of Otto E. Lohrke, Wm. P. Calla
ghan and Wm. Knight, grain dealers, for
money advanced.
The attachment levied upon funds be
longing to Leiter and deposited in Chase
national bank, the Hanover bank and
other financial concerns.
The plaintiffs assent that they advanced
the money at the special request of Leiter
in various sums since Feb. 14, which he
promised to pay on demand. They allege
he refused to pay the amounts advanijt/

IS SPOTTED.

a Spanish schnpor at that port to carry
provisions to the Spanish army in Cuba.
The name of the schnoor which is ex

her arrival at Nassau had on board eight
Spanish passengers. ■ The Belenceta was
finally sold to a man named Vargas, who
is a Gritish subject. On this account he
obtained a British registry f3r the schoon

ALL ARRESTED
ATJVIARIETTA
The Eloping Party From East
Macon Have Been
Located.
IICHASSE Os THE SHERIFF
And Will be Brought Home, When
Young Men Will Have to An
swer Serious Charge.
The runaways have been arrested and
are now in jail at Marietta. They made a
start with their new’ theatrical company
at Marietta last night and played a one
night star engagement.
On Saturday afternoon a party of East
Macomtes left their homes and went away
to seek their fortunes on the stage.
This was not. however, the ostensible
object of the sudden departure. But as
the young women are under age and they
went without the consent of their parents
and the young men are to be held on the
charge of kidnapping.
The party left East Macon on Saturday
and took the Southern for the Springs
they said, but they did not stop at the
springs and went on through to Atlanta.
The party that left here were:
Mr. Al. Smith and Miss Lucia Kitchens.
Mr. James Andrews and Miss Clyde
Cook.
Mr. Josh Ryals and Miss Lillie Thom
aston.
Information w r as received this morning
from Marietta that the arrests had been
made. It was known last night that they
were there and that they would give a
performance at the opera house there last
night. Orders w'ere sent in for the arrest
of the young men’on the charge of kidnap
ping and the young women were ordered
held until their parents could go for them.
It would seem that the young people
had all their arrangements made before
hand and that they proposed to commence
a theatrical tour of the small towns. They
had secured the opera house at Marietta
and were evidently in earnest.
Before leaving one of the young girls
sent a note to her parents in which she
said that she was married and that an
other of the couples had also been se
cretly married during the week pre ced
ing. The young people had all belonged
to the same mandolin club and they were
known to be good friends.
It Is more than prdbable that they have
all been married -and that they will
be persuaded to return home and -to lead
a more steady life than could be promised
by the course that they had mapped out.
It is more than likely that the young
i—— seen enough
of it and that they will be glad to return
home.
The elopement has been the principal
subject of conversation in East 'Macon for
the last few days and the announcement
of the arrests made last night will be a
surprise, though it was known to the pa
rents of the young people that they had
been located there last night.
