ESTABLISHED 1884 DIRECT’ CARLENOW Communicalion Has Been Es tablished Between Wash ington and Guantanamo. TROOPS ARRIVED. Shafter Was in Conference With Sampson This Morning, 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 merging one of the lower stages of the yard and immersing hundreds of people. 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 the bursts of hurrahs on land and the steamer’s whistles on shore.

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. GAGE ASKS TIME.

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 •Ctass Are certain IQ juurk Uicir landing. MACON NEWS TUESDAY JUNE 21 1898. 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. Major H. E. Bradley. Wisconsin, surgeon of the United States volunteer army, has been permanently assigned to the hospital of the first corps. Forty patients are there against seventy two weeks ago.

POLLOCK MAY BE CHANCELLOR The President of Mercer Uni versity is Spoken of in This Connection. WOULD BE POPULAR. The Public Generally Would Appre ciate the Appointment—Com pliment From Graves, Will Professor P. D. Pollock be made the next chancellor of the Univerity of Georgia? His name is used in educational circles in this connection, and has everywhere met with the approbation of the people. John Temple Graves, writing of proba ble and probable chancellors in the Atlan ta Journal of yeserday, says: "No roll call of the great teachers of the state can be complete at this time without 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 measure of public attention and admira tion upon its young and brilliant president. His name is being exploited in the councils of the University, but the trustees of Mer cer -will rise in protest against even the suggestion of his tranfer.” DUNWOODY-GLOVER. Pretty Early Morning Wedding at the First Presbyterian Church.

The bride entered the church leaning on the arm of her brother, Mr. Ike Dunwody, and looked especially lovely in an exquisite costume. The groom was attended by Mr. Louis Russell, of Marietta, as best man. Immediately after the ceremony the' bridal party left on the Southern train for a tour of the 'North. This was one of the prettiest early morn ing weddings that have ever been known in Macon and the happy couple are fol lowed by the godd wishes of a host of friends all through this section of the state.

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 where. DtSERTERS Will be Taken to Camp Price This Afternoon. . The two supposed deserters, John A. Zeigler and W.

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.
