SPANISH ELEET RETURNS
To Cadiz With One cf the Biggest
Vessels Disabled and Unfit
for Service.
Washington, June 21.—There was impor
tant news at the war department when
Secretary Alger reached his office today.
The transports with 15,000 troops, he is
■informed, have arrived safely off Santiago,
and direct cable communication had
been established between the United States
and Guantanamo where the United States
now hold posesslon of Cuban soil.
Thus not only is Blanco cut off from
communication with the outside world save
through tile Key West cables within our
control, but the authorities at Washington
have been placed in close collection with
our forces, army and navy, which are con
ducting the Invasion of Cuba.
To General Greeley and the signal corps
'belongs the honor of achieving this last
feat He was entrusted some weeks ago
with the task of re-establishing cable and
telegraphic communication with Cuba.
The first message over this restricted ca
ble was on.' from Lieutenant Colonel Allen
to Colonel Greeley, announcing the reopen
ing of communication.
Greeley Immediately directed the officer
to obtain and forward the earliest possi
ble advices as to the arrival of the United
States transports. Lieutenant Colonel Al
len applied to McCalla, in command of the
TUrces in Guantanamo bay. The captain
sent out a boat to Sampson’s squadron,
■which returned -with the news that the
transports had arrived safely and were ly
ing off Santiago, and that at the moment
of the report General 'Shafter, commanding
the military expedition was on board the
flag ship New York, consulting with Ad
miral Sampson relative to the landing of
the troops.
The news is particularly gratifying to
Alger, who, besides his official interest in
the safe arrival of the expedition, has nat
ural concern for the welfare of his son,
an inspector on Shafter’s staff.
The news was promptly communicated to
every department where there was a gen
eral expression of satisfaction at 'the no
tification that they would be able hereaf
ter to communicate directly with Sampson.
Another piece of good news that came‘to
them through 'the medium of the state de
partment, was from reliable authority .in
Marseilles, France, stating that positive in
formation had ben received there that the
Cadiz fleet has rturned to Cadiz, after the
departure, wrth one of the most formida
ble ships, Victoria, disabled and in tow of
one of the other ships.
The vessels that arrived off Santiago
with the troops on board, each according
to data supplied to the war department,
numbered with the convoy, forty-nine ves
sels. and is the most numerous fleet that
ever left the waters of the United Stales
for a foreign country.
It is expected here that the transports
will remain off Santiago or perhaps nearer
the exact landing point of the troops until
Santiago has been captured when they will
take aboard a greater part of the invading
army if it can be spared from that locality
and convoy the troops to Porto Hico to ef
fect the capture of that island.

London, June 21.—During the launch
ing of the new British first-class battle
ship Albion, 12,950 tons, at Blackwell, at
which United States Ambassador and Mrs.
Hay and Lieut.-Col. Wells, United States
naval attache, assisted, the displacement
of water caused an immense mass of
water to rise on all sides, completely sub

Ten bodies have (been recovered and it
is estimated that fifty persons were
drowned.
(Another, but a discredited report says
the warship sank.
The bodies of twenty-seven men, women
and children have been recovered.
The accident which occurred at the mo
ment when three cheers were called for
the successful launch and the cries and
screams of the victims were drowned by

WITH hTsIGHF
OF DOOMED CITY.
The Fleet of Transports Arriv
ed Yesterday—Greeted
With Cheers.
Off Santiago, (Monday, via (Mole St.
(Nicholas, June 21 —Copyright.—The United
States army of invasion, 16,000 strong,
commanded by General Shafter, arrived
off Santiago at noon today.
The. time of its disembarkation has not
yet been determined upon but will prob
ably be within the next three days.
When the fleet of transports, with its
freight or fighting men swept up the
southern coast today and slowed up wijh
in sight of the doomed city of Santiago the
anxiety awaited the soldiers were greeted
with ringing cheers which faintly reached
to the transports from the decks of the
blockading warships far in shore, they
were answered by the troops most heartily
It was 10 o’clock this morning when the
outlook on board the armored cruiser
Brooklyn reported seeing the smoke of
several steamers away to the southeast
and a moment later announced a dozen
transports in sight. Then signals were ex
changed from ship to ship, gladdening the
hearts of the weary bloekeders.
Then the United States auxiliary cruiser
Gloucester, went out to meet them carry
ing an order from the admiral which stop
ped the advance of the ships about fifteen
miles to the southeast and escorted by the
Gloucester General Shafter went toward
Seguranca to confer with the admiral.
The long and trying journey from Tampa
left the men in much better condition than
was anticipated. There are fourteen cases
of typhoid on the hospital ship, among
them being Major Horton, of the Twen
ty-eighth infantry and several cases of
measles.
There are. however, no serious cases of
sickness. Owing to the smoothness of the
passage of soldiers they were not generally
affected 'by sea sickness. They are wildly
anxious to get ashore and begin fighting.
The horses and mules on board the
transports have suffered severely, many of
them dying.
The American fleet off Santiago has
been materially strengthened by the addi
tion of the warships which stood escorted
to the transports here consisting of the
Indiana, the Detroit, the 'Montgomery, the
Bancroft, the Helena, the Ericson and the
Foote.

THE MACON NE WS.
DIFFICULTIES
FDRSHAFTER
The Landing of the Troops at
Santiago Mav Take
a Week.
GREAT PROBLEM AT PRESENT
Among Army Men is the Place and
the Feasibility of Making
a Landing.
New' York, June 21. —A special to the
the Tribune from Washington says the
arrival of the Fifth army corps under
General Shafter at the rendezvous off San
tiago, which, in the opinion of the army
and navy officials has occurred by this
time, develops the most interesting con
tingency of the war, and there is frank
curiosity among these officials, as well as
on the part of the American public, to re
ceive authentic reports describing the de
barkation of such great military force on
the shore of a country held by an active
enemy. The difficulties involved in this
landing are thoroughly appreciated by the
military and naval men who are unable to
conceal their uneasiness regarding its prac
tical execution.
According to the plans arranged before
General Shorter sailed, his fleet of thirty
thansports will lie at a safe distance from
the shore while a war council is being
held by the commanders of the two forces
and their staff officers.
Admiral Sampson has probably become
familiar with the least dangerous and most
accessible localities in the immediate vi
cinity of Santiago through his communica
tions continuously maintained with the Cu
bans ashore. He is also possessed of ths
power to batter down any fortifications
which may have been established in the
neighborhood of the most desirable land
ing places, and whether the position in
Guantanamo bay now held by the marines
forty miles east of Santiago or that at
Acerradero, which was seized several days
ago by the 'Cuban general, Rabi, ten miles
west of the main objective point is selec
ted will depend largely upon the condition
of the troops on their arrival and the
amount of caution it is considered expedi
ent to exercise.
The most advantageous point of debarka
tion under ordinary circumstances from
initiation of sharp and speedy investment
of Santiago, is found at the Carnegie Steel
Company’s wharf at Aguadores, which is
barely six miles east of (Moro castle. This
wharf being admirably adapted for the
landing of heavier supplies, the seige
trains and horses. But the Spaniards are
reported to have placed batteries in such a
position as to command the localities With
an initiating fire of heavy artilery, which
might easily destroy the wharf itself by
shelling, or create havoc among the troops
after they have landed. .Possibly Admiral
Sampson’s heavier ships might succeed in
dismounting these batteries, but grave
fears are entertained that ships guns could
not reach some of the masked positions
far upon the hills, and that the landing at
this place would be eventually followed by
disaster.
There is a wide divergance of expert
opinion regarding the probable duration of
the military campaign before the fall of
Santiago. Army officers with General
(Miles depreciate the exposition of (American
troops to unnecesasry risks, and declare
they would not be surprised if an entire
week were consumed in landing the army
and perfecting its organization ashore be
fore the actual march across the country is
begun. They have anticipated that a great
number of horses and mules will die on
the voyage, and that all the animals will
be practically unfit for use for at least four
or five days after thej’ regain terra firms.
They also point out that the base of sup
plies must be thoroughly protected by
earth works in order that it may be held
•by a small force beyond the slightest possi
bility of capture. Roads must be built for
the transportation of essential subsistance,
supplies and ammunition as well as ca
pable of bearing the heavy artillery. In
such a rough country as 'Santiago province
rtn average of fifty or sixty miles ,a day
will be satisfactory, and if effective re
sistence is offered progress will at a much
slower rate as Santiago is more closely ap
proached.
On the other hand civilians who are fa
miliar with Spanish operations for the last
two years, are confident that General Shaf
ter will meet with only ineffectual at
tacks by scattered guerrillas and that the
rapidity of his investment of the city and
bay will both astonish and gratify every
one but the friends of ‘Spain.
ENTHUSIASM
’AMONG TROOPS
*
And Sailors of Sampson’s
Fleet Looking for a
Landing.
'New York. June 21—A dispatch to the
Herald from Port Antonio, Jamaica, says:
Advices received here late (Monday after
noon announce the arrival off Santiago of
the first division of the American army of
invasion under command of General Shaf
ter.
No attempt was made during the day,
according to the report to land the Amer
ic 1 troops.
General Shafter, it is said, soon after
his arrival had a conference with Admiral
Sampson. They discussed at length the
information obtained by Admiral Samp
son's scouts as to the most available land
ing places in the vicinity of Santiago and
sent further scouting parties along the
coast. They inspected the points consider
ed by Admiral Sampson to be most advan
tageous and the commanders of the army
and navy speedily will decide where to
land the troops.
Tremendous enthusiasm was awakened
the men with Admiral Sampson’s fleet by
the arrival of the American troops They
gave cheer after cheer, the report states
and their enthusiasm met with an equally
hearty response from the ships.
Upon the ability of the troops to stand
the climatic conditions at this season of
the year in Cuba will depend in a great
measure the time to be selected for the
advance upon Havana. If the regulars
are able to keep in as good health as have
the marines at Camp McCalla you may
expect to hear of speedy developments in
the situation.
It is said that the men under General
Shafter despite their experience of thir
teen days in close quarters aboard the
transports are in good health. They were
eager to get at the Spanish and stirring

SALVATION FDR
PHIUPPINERS
Report of the Board to Which
Was Referred the Ques
tion of
MISSIONARY WORK THERE.
Advises that the Work be Taken Up
After a Conference Has Been
Held Among the Churches,
New York, June 21.—The committee of
China and the executive board of the Pres
byterian board of missions, to
which was referred the expediency of open
ing missionary work in the Phillipine Is
lands, has reported as follows:
We feel that the political and military
relations into which the United States has
been so strangely forced with reference to
the Phillipine Islands and also to Cuba and
to Porto Rico, involve certain moral and
religious responsibilities—responsibilities
which are perhaps quite independent of the
precise character of 'political relationship
which may hereafter be formed with them
and that the Christian people of America
should immediately and pralsefully con
sider the duty of entering the door which
God in his providence is thus opening.
This appears to be, so far as we can
judge, the feeling of the Presbyterian
church. It is significant that already let
ters have come to the board from persons
in five different states urging the impor
tance of taking up this work and making
offers of co-operati'on in men and money,
one pastor having actually raised and paid
over to the treasurer or the board SI,OOO
toward the support of the first missionary,
while the general assembly gave strong
approval to a paragraph in the report of its
standing committee on foreign missions to
the effect that “we eanot ignore the fact
that God has given into the hands of the
American Christians the Phillipine Is
lands, opened a wide door to their popula-'
tion, and has by the very guns of our bat
tleships summoned us to go up and possess
the land.”
However, it is only fair to presume that
this sentiment is not peculiar to Presbyte
rians. Indeed there are rumors that the
foreign mission boards of other churches
are disposed to consider the question of
their relation to these opening fields. We
feel that it would be quite unfortunate if
several boards should enter any one 'of
these fields at the same time, thus un
necessarily duplicating expenses and per
haps introducing elements of rivalry. We
hsfve heard much in recent years of the
principles of comity in lands which are
already jointly occupied. We believe that
the new situation thus providentially
forced upon us affords an excellent oppor
tunity not only for beginning this work,
but for beginning it right, from the view
point of Christian fellowship and the eco
nomical use of money and men.
To this end we recommend that the ex
ecutive council be directed to hold an
early conference with the representatives
of the American boards, the Baptist Union
Mission, the Missionary Society of the
Methodist Episcopal church and the board
of foreign missions 'of the reformed church
in America, with a view to a frank and
mutual understanding as to the responsi
bilities of American Christians to the peo
ple of Cuba, Porto Rico and tha Phillipine
Islands, and an agreement as to the most
effective distribution of the work among
the several boards if it shall be found ex
pedient and practicable, to undertake.
The report was submitted to the board of
foreign missions during their regular
monthly meeting by W. 'R. Richards, the
chairman of the committee on China, and
also the executive council committee. The
report was accepted by the board.
ANOTHERDAY -
OF ACTIVITY.
The Work of Equipping the
Soldiers is Progressing
Verv Rapidly.
Chickamauga, June 21.—Todaj' is anoth
er day of activity. Officers and men are
hard at work. Equipping work is pro
gressing rapidly, and at the present rate
the whole army, will be equipped in a
short time.
'Recruits continue to come in by the
hundreds.
It is stated on good authority that Gen
eral Brooke, General Waije and others at
Chickamauga have recomended to the war
department that no troops be removed
from Chickamauga until the date of the
departure of the invading expedition is
fixed. The transports, they think, can be
loaded with ammunition and supplies in
advance, then the troops can be removed
directly from the camps to the .ports and
marched at once fully equiped on ship
board. They believe a higher degree of
efficiency can be maintained by their plan
and much of the confusion and delay en
countered in the departure from Tampa
will be avoided.
The department is seriously considering
the plan, and it is altogether probable that
it will be accepted.
The committee appointed bj r the Illinois
navy and army league, have completed
their investigations and were pleased with
the camp and will make a favorable report
It is understood the league will allow each
regiment in the field S6OO to SI,OOO a month
to be used in the purchr.se of ice and hos
pital supplies.

of the United States volunteer army, has

His name is used in educational circles

"No roll call of the great teachers of the

the name of President Pollock, of Mercer.
He is undoubtedly among the ring stars
of educations in the south. The recent
magnificent appearance of Mercer Univer
sity in Atlanta has crystalized a large

Young Alfred Willingham in Command of

About five weeks ago the Macon Hussars
met and elected Alfred Willingham cap
tain, R. V. D. Corbett first lieutenant, K.
F. 'Dunlap second lieutenant.
The elections were set aside by the col
onel of the regiment under his construc
tion of the law that Willingham, Corbett
and Dunlap were not elligible because they
were not commissioned officers.
The colonel thereuipon Appointed John
iP. Ross captain and authorized him to
name his lieutenants. At the time of his
appointment Ross was adjutant to Ihe Sec
ond Georgia regiment with the rank of
captain. The lieutenants named by him
refused to accept and the company declin
ed to serve, holding that the election of
Willingham, Cortbett and Dunlap ought
not to have been set aside.
The colonel gave a closer study of he
law on the subject, which was really sus
ceptible of two constructions, and decided
to revoke his first order, which set aside
the company elections, and the appoint
ment of Ross, and he ordered a new elec
tion for last night, which was heli by
John P. Ttoss. The election resulted in
the choice of Alfred Willingham, captain;
K. F. Dunlap first lieutenant; Earl Dasher,
second lieutenant..
Corbett, -who had been previously elected
first lieutenant, has taken a position else

Card—To Meet Tomorrow.
A strong effort is being made to get a
Public School chorus ot from 500 to 1,000
voices for the Fourth of July.
To this end the principals of all the city
schools are requested to meet tomorrow
morning at 9 o’clock in the Public Libra

mens for organizatoin and rehersals.
The chorus will be under the direction of
Professor Card and will be accompanied by
Card’s full orchestra.
The girls will wear white dresses with
red, white and blue ribbons and the boys
are to- carry small flags, if enough can be
secured.
It is desired to make this program one
of the principal feautres of the program at
the park on the Fourth.
The celebration at the park is going to
be one of the biggest affairs of the kind
that has ever been known in this section
of the state.
The railroads will grant special rates for
the day and nothing will be left undone to
make it the red letter day of rejoicing in

It is more than probable that the orator
of the day will be the next governor of tae
state, Hon. Allen D. Candler.
As the arrangements progress the cele

wiht all forces at work Macon will see the
best Fourth that she has ever known.
INDIGNANT PROTEST
Made by a Correspondent Against Action of
Renting Firm,
To the Editor of The News—l am igno
rant as to whether there is a law to pro
tect honest people from insult and humili
ation of the character which I propose to
lay before you. I think I have 'the right
to cite certain facts in the public print
that are of vital Intrest to every poor man
who loves his home and family, and who
is forced 'to rent a house from a renting
agent. Some days ago a member of a firm
of renting agents in the city called on Mrs.
(Bane Taylor, who lives in a re spectable
locality of this city, on Plum between
Third and Fourth streets and demanded
$lB rent from her, explaining to her at the
same time that he desired her to give up
the portion of the house which she rented.
She explained to him that she only owed
half of the money demanded, which would
be due the following Saturday thereafter
and produced receipts to this effect. Now
these people have never failed to pay their
rent when due, but are honest, hard work
ing people who try to pay their honest and
just debts. However, without making
further demand the renting agent took le
gal proceedings to dispossess these people.
At the same time, however, they stated to
Taylor that the parties to whom they had
rented the house are of ill repute, and that
if they did not move out they would move
the said parties of ill repute in on them.
The house in question has never 'been
occupied by any but respectable people,
and in my opinion the mayor should not
tolerate their presence in this locality in
this instance.
The writer is a boarder in said family,
and the foregoing are facts related to him
by Mrs. Taylor and her husband.
Yours truly, James Long.
