DEATH'S HAND KNOCKING At the Doors of Santiago for Admis sion and the People are Bound to Suffer Badly. off Santiago, June 12, via Kingston, June 15. db-ar Admiral Sampson and Commodore Rchley with his combined force are slowly but surely placing such a net work about Santiago and cutting oft so effectually every source of outside aid that within a short time starvation will give way to death's solid knock for admittance at the doors of tiiie ill-fated place. Within three days three separate nourees of supply and reinforcements have been cut off and Santiago is now isolated front the world and down to famine ra tions. When Cervera arrived at Santiago with a fl.et the people there welcomed him for the relief they thought he would bring, but instead of food he brought them 1,100 men to feed Tile only aid he had to offer was the tons of ammunition in his ships' magazines.

Tampa. Fla . June 15.- The regular cav alry has an idea which it does not hesitate to express very freely. It is that (Hoose velt’s Hough Riders are entirely overesti mated. and that they are better than or dinary troops only in the degree that the Texans are more hardened to exposure. A group of cavalry oftleers were discuss ing the Westerners when one of them, ex pressing the sentiments of all five present eaid: “Teddy's Terrors or Roosevelt's Rough .Riders are no more soldiers than these war correspondents around here are. The trouble is these people have been puffed up so in the press that they think they are the whole thing. They have had enough of that to make any body of men conceited. 1 don’t see why the adminis tration should take any particular stock in the Hough Riders, and it would not if the regiment’s oftleers did not have a big pull at Washington. The regular cavalry had all kinds of trouble and ekiy in getting its equipments, but these people get uniforms, shoes, hats, horses an.! magazine rifles— in fact everything they want—and they get it in abundance and without delay. "Now. why should they be favored? They are composed of hardy men who can ride and shoot. These accomplishments won’t make them soldiers, and the regular cav alry has them probably even in a higher degree. But to offset their good qualities the First Volunteer Cavalry, as I believe they are officially called, has less profi ciency in drills and in camp life than even the worst of our National Guard volun teers. And. what’s more, they won't learn as fast as the latter, because they have pronounced notions and are not accus tomed to obeying implicitly. The lies: way to make good soldiers of them would be to break up the regiment and use the frag ments to till the regular cavalry regiments to a war footing. • DEMOCRATS OF KANSAS. Atchison, Kans .

Tampa, Fla., June 15.—-Choked and con gested with more than double its ordinary population, Tampa throbs with a nearer and busier life than it has ever known. Heretofore Tampa has been known as a quiet place, quiet even to dullness, a good place for a nervous than to come and find absolute repose. Now all this has been changed and the sleepy old town has,:be eome the busiest place in the United States. Tampa wakes up now at the first peep of day and does not go to bed again until the wee sma’ hours of the early morning. Merchants have a full appreciation of the fact that this is the oportunity of a life time for them. The curio shops are per haps reaping the richest harvest of them all. At the postoffee two long fines of people ■wait turns to get to the general delivery windows. The postoffice business has in creased four fold. and. although granted an increased force, the handling of the mails is very slow. The express companiese have largely in creased their forces also, but find it Im possible to expedite the mass of business offered them. The saloons, of course, are crowded day and night, but the soda water fountains are not less busy. The force at the tele graph office has been increased from three to elghten men. who work from fourteen to eighteen hours a day. Hotels and boarding "houses are crowded. Rooms are’ snapped up as soon as vacated, not with standing that the prices are almost pro hibitive. The stranger coming into Tampa now is fortunate to get to lay his bead on a cot in a crowded hallway. The streets are choked all day long with moving people. Through these long lines of wagon trains, pack mules, troops of ca valry and bodies of recruits are constant ly passing. Street cars are retarded. Such is the Tampa of today. It has waked up to find itself the most rushing business center of its size in the world. When the cause of this has been removed the town will go to sleep again. willianTis TAKING HAND Says That the United States Must Have Sufficient . Force at Manila. London.

GUNS ARE GIVEN OUT And the Boys are Now Nearly Ready to Take the Road—Will Return All the Equipments. All interest now centers in the removal of the First regiment from Griffin to Chickamauga. The regiment may leave Griffin on Thursday, but it is not probable that it will get away before early on Friday morning. This is regarded as the first step toward sending the regiment to Jacksonville or Savannah to be embarked for Porto Rico. From intimations made yesterday it is al most certain that the Georgians will be a part of the Porto Rican expedition. The new guns for theis regiment were distributed among t'he men yesterday. There were over a thousand new Spring field rifles and when the men took the first drill after getting the guns they made a superb appearance. The uniforms lor the men were issued some time ago, and the new tents were received last week. Th state of Georgia now has a large amount of property at Camp Northen, which must be returned. The regiment was at first tented under the tents of t'he state and used lhe state’s guns and other equip ment. Now that the government has supplied its own equipment the state will have its property returned. Major Frank Calloway, the military secretary of the governor, was telegraphed yesterday to re turn from Athens and go to Camp Northen today to take charge of the state’s prop erty there. It is probable that the state will leave the property at the camp, as Governor Atkinson intends to camp the new Georgia regiment there. The plans for the Georgia regiment have ben completely changed. It was intended that the Georgia regiment should defend the coast, but another regiment will now be assigned to that duty. Colonel P. H- Ray and his regiment ,i* ( is said, will be assigned to coast defense and that Georgia's First regiment will go to Porto Rico. The reason for the change is that t'he First regiment is already bet ter drilled and equipped than any volun teer regiment in the country and the men are ready to be sent to the front. Colonel Ray’s regiment will not be ready for ser vice within sixty or ninety days, and if a need for troops on the coast shall arise they can ibe rushed to the place where needed in short order. Colonel Lawton has accustomed his men to long and hard marches and every day they have been marched across the rough est country around Griffin. Colonel Law ton always leads these marches-on foot and never- demands that his men- endure a hardship in which he does not lead. thirdTetachment GOING TO MANILA.

Last night for the third time he or they entered the Pullman car on the Southern train bound north and due in Macon at 4 o’clock and succeeded in securing a very comfortable amount of booty. One passenger, whose name could.not be from the railroad officials, was robbed of everything he had in the way of valuables and considered himself lucky to be allow ed to get out of the car with his clothes on his back. Other passengers lost a quantity of bag gage and valuables. The robbery occurred at some point be low Macon and presumably between Macon and Eastman.

The directors of the Macon Public Li brary will meet this afternoon for the purpose of devising ways and means by which the institution may be entirely re lieved of debt.

WILL GIVE US A GOOD PLANT. New Electric Light Companv Found the Old Plant in ’ Bad Shape. The new electric light company sent a communication to the committee on lights of the city council which was read at the regular meeting of council last night. In that letter the new owners of the plant stated that it is their intention to make large improvements in the plant, which they found in a bad condition. The improvements will take some time, as the /|wners of the plant will have to go to considerable expense in this work and nec essarily there will be some delay, but it is their intention to give Macon as fine a .plant as is to be found anywhere in the South and they ask the patience of the committee and of the council, promising that their patience will be compensated by a plant of which Macon will be proud. It can readily be understood bow much time will be taken up in making the im provements when it is known that he cost of the improvements alone will be some thing like $50,000, and the total outlay re quired by the company will be fully SBO,OOO, and may reach SIOO,OOO before the plant is completed. But when it is completed Macon will have a plant of which she can be proud and which will tend to bring here the in vestment of capital that will not dream of doming this way unless it can be supplied with electric power. The reading of this communication was perhaps the most important matter before council last night. The regular meeting of that body was about the shortest that has ever been held. A communication and invitation from the Young Men's Business League, of Eastman was received, and on motion, the invitaion was accepted. The league will give a carnival at Eastman on June 20th to the 24th, and ask the presence of the mayor and council of Macon. They will go down in force and a large number of citizens will accompany them. In fact it is propesd to make the carnival a success for one day- at least by the attendance from Macon alone. The only matter before council was the reading of petitions for eductions of assess ments and other matters of routine’. SUSSDORFF-REESE. Popular Young Macon Couple to Wed This Evening.

MANUFACTURING INTERESTS Os the City Discussed-Many New Enterprises are in Sight-Good Work of the Secretary. The directors of the Chamber of Com merce met yesterday afternoon and held a most satisfactory meeting. Twenty-five new members of the cham-' ber were elected.

The East Macon sensation has subsided somewhat, though it is still a matter of no little interest. All the young women who joined in the escapade have returned home and the young men will be here today. Mutual friends are trying to have the matter settled up. and it is thought that they will suceed in doing so, though some of the parents of the young people say that they will prosecute ths young men. The young women will be witnesse, however, and will say that there was no kidnapping and that they all went of their own free will. The young women say that they went out as an opera company and that they ex pected to make some money out of it if they had not been summarily stopped by the sheriff of Cobb county, who broke tn on a rehearsal. None of them were married and they did not go off to get married. They were simply a traveling company and they had no idea that they would be treated as if they were criminals. Some of them say that they are still de termined to carry out their first intentions and that they will sucaed. The Atlanta journal gives the following account of the first entertainment and the arrest of the party. “Last night was a grand one in the lives of the eight beginners. There was an ab sence of glare about the footlights, and there was no crash of the orchestra, but there was a stage, and the stage was what they wanted. The performance began with a grand chorus. "The Charge of the Light Brigade” was rendered and then eame "Sweet Rosie O'Grady,” followed by "I Have Found a Horseshoe.” After the opening chorus there was In strumental music and then came ballads, not of the soul-stirring kind, but popular all the same. One of the company sang ‘ There's a Hot Time in the Old Town,” and retired amidst great applause. As an encore that very pathetic song, "Mr. Johnson, Turn Me Loose.” was rendered and at this point the sheriff apeared. "He prevented the singing of “A Wan dering Minstrel” and "Skipped by the Light of rhe Moon,” by taking charge of the entire party. "This morning the young men were ta ken to jail on the charge of kidnapping, as the parents of the girls declare thehy will prosecute them relentlessly.” Popular Because Comfortable and Durable, Wide Toe Summer Shoes Brown Low Congress Black or Brown Lace Vici Kid Uppers, Goodyear Welt Stitch. $3.50.
