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. WORDEN SAVED. Ex-President Cleveland Interfered to Save His Neck.

COAL CONTROVERSY IS ADJUSTED. 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. WILL CO-OPERATE With the Army Chaplains for Work Among the Soldier*.

THE MACON NEWS. 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. attachments' 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.

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. PRESIDENTHAS KEPT HIS WORD. The Head of People’s Bank at Philadelphia Gives Up $400,000.00 Philadelphia, June 14.—Receiver Thomas W.
