On the Following Day Starving

Makes Interesting Story.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.
On board the United States cruiser St.
Louis, off Santiago de Cuba June 14, 1898.
The following are the interesting extracts
from the log of the second cruise of this
ahio on one of the “cracks” of the Amer
ican line.
‘Monday, May 30—Captain Goodrich re
ceived urgent orders to proceed to sea 3
p. m.—Finished taking on store and coal;
.cast off from the American line pier and
proceeded down the bay; passed Sandy
liook light ship and steered south. The
marines busily engaged placing the four
extra guns ric.ived in position. The crew
assisting and clearing up the ship.
Tuesday, May 31, io a. in.—l Albert Turn,
cook, was found missing, every search was
made without finding any trace of him:
It is supposei! that be must have jumped
overboard, - m*. 4' A’
Friday, June 3,7 a. m.—Sighted the fleet
in Santiago bay. 8 a. m.—Arrived along
side the flagship New York. After break
fast Captain Goodrich went on board t.l
confer with the admiral and the captains
of the other ships.
Saturday, June 4 —Shortly after mid
night we proceeded at full speed. An
alarm was signalled that the torpedo boat
was escaping. We found later that it was
a train running over the trestle-work close’
, to the waters’ edge. Several shots were
fired from the ships of the fleet. 9 p. m—•
Received orders from the admiral to pro
ceed at once for Guantanamo; the Marble
head and Yankee to accompany us. Left
about 11 p. m. The two latter ships orders
countermanded.
Sunday, June 5—5 a. m—Arrived at
Guantanamo found no .Marblehead or Yan
kee there, returned and arrived off San
tiago. 9 a. m. found the fleet as usual
doing nothing in particular, ti p. m.—'Left
with dispatches for Mole St. Nicholas.
.Monday, June 6 Arrived at Mole St.
Nicholas, received dispatches on board and
Iwft at once for Santiago; arrived at 9:20
p. m. after being chased by the tonpedo
boat Porter, her commander taking us for
an enemy until we tired Then she showed
her night signals. 11:55 p. m.—(Received
orders from the admiral to proceed at once
to Guantanamo.
Tuesday, June 7. 5:30 a. m—(Arrived at
Guantanamo, found Marblehead and Yan
kee waiting for me. We led the way intc
the harbor, feeling our way with the lead,
the .Marblehead and Yankee following, all
three ships firing from (both sides until
reaching the shallow water. The Marble
head and Yankee being of one inch less
draught, passed us and feeling their way
around the point ami in range of the fort
and gunboats opened their batteries with
full force, five-inch guns telling every
time for all they were worth. In the
meantime the St. Louis kept up a constant
fire with her six - pounders. The crew with
rilles and revolvers, particularly the
“black watch” under Mr. 'Walls, chief en
gineer of the St. 'Louis, the object being
to grapple and cut the cable running to
Santiago (old friends of May 16.) When
the Marblehead had gained the point in
side the harbor her shells set tire to some
wonks and in a very short time the whole
village was in a blaze; a log house on
the hill was also in a blaze and fell in.
The St. Louis in position lowered her
grapples over the starboard side and
steamed slowly across the harbor. In a
very short time the grapple caught bhe
cable; however in hauling it in the grap
ple broke. Then they lowered another
and commenced over again and in a very
short time the men's hopes were realized;
the cable was grappled again, successfully
hauled in, ci,t and destroyed. Such a
hearty cheer the officers and men gave.
The cable reached the forecastle head at
1 p. m.
At this time two insurgents were ob
served on the beach waving a Cuban flajf.
Captain Goodrich called for a volunteer
crew to man the boats. Instantly the hands
of the officers and crew were held up in
some eases both hands being held in the
air, the marine.- all being anxious to go.
The boat was manned by the thir officer
and six men. Lieutenant Gatlin and six
marines, and in less than no time they
were on shore and the two Cubans, half
starved creatures, the youngest a captain
in the Cuban army, the other of the negro
type, sent by their commander (with two
others who had not reached the beach
when they left) and had been traveling
for four days in hopes of finding the means
of reaching the ship to convey the infor
mation that he was here with his com
mand and only required a days' notice to
be at any given point they might be called.
Wo gave them white suits complete with
other clothing and heaps of food and it
was most pitiful to see the ravenous way
in which they clutched and ate it. Captain
McCalla took them on board the Marble
head and shortly afterwards landing them
where we saw their two comrades waiting
for them.
The St. Ix>uis was grappling all this
rime, -teaming -lowly across the harbor
for the cable running from Guantanamo to
Mole St. Nicholas. About a quarter to
7 the Yankee cheered from the forecastle
bead. The second cable was hauled in
sight, making the St. Louis' third battle
one grand success, cutting two cables in
one day under tire.
The New York Herald's steamer came
in when the St. Louis erew were hauling
in the first cable, thereby having a chance
to photograph the whole affair. After cut
ting the second cable Captain Goodrich
with Captain McCalla, of the Marble
head hade Captain Brcwnson. of the Yan
kee good-bye and the St. louis started on
a mi-sion of her own
Thursday. June 9 Cruising off Moran
Point. Jamaica. 2:30 a. m —Sighted a
Steamer: bore down to her to put search
-1 ghts to bear and when a beam fired
two guns, one astern and one forward,
meaning that she must heave to read her
name distinctly “Twickenham, of London”
the prize we were leaking for. laden witfi
cpal for the Spanish fleet. She came to
u» We lowered our boat and Ensign
Payne and a boat’s erew and six marines
boarded her and brought the captain on
board. He gave Captain Goodrich to un
derstand he was laden with coal consigned
to himself, in his own name for any por
tion in the West Indies. He made the best
case he could for his owners but could not
tell satisfactorily who his owners are.
From information received the coal was
*5Ut on board on a Spanish account and for
the fleet now locked up in Santiago har
bor; therefore he could not take this cargo
to them He went into Martinque and saw
the Spanish admiral who no doubt wanted
him to land and sell the coal. This the
French authorities would not allow. Then
he sailed for Santiago intending to land
there; thus we were here to intercept him
which we have done and put a prize crew
on board with instructions to keep in com
pany with us to Santiago, to report the
case to Admiral Sampson.
This is a good streak of good luck for
the St. louis. Since being in the com
mission she cut the cable off Porto Rico,
off Hayti at Santiago and has now secured
this prize.
A VOICE FROM THE WEST
Alfred Austin.
What is the Voice I hear
I On the wind of the Western sea?
, Sentinel! listen, from out Cape Clear
| * And say what the Voice may be.
Tis a proud, free People calling loud
to a People proud and free.”
And it says to them, “Kinsmen, hail!
| We severed have been too long;
Now let’s have done with a worn-out tale,
The tale of an ancient wrong.
And our friendship last long as Love’
doth last and be stronger than Death
is strong.”
Answer them, sons of the self-same race
And blood of the self-same clan;
Let us speak with each other face to face
And answer as man to man.
And loyally love and trust each other as
none but free men can.
Now fling them out to the breeze,
Shamrock, Thistle, and Rose,
And the star-spangled banner unfurl with
these,
A message to friends and foes
Wherever the sails of Peace are seen,
and wherever the war wind blows.
A message to bond and thrall to wake.
For. wherever we come, we twain,
The throne of the tyrant shall rock and
quake,
And his menace be void and vain,
For you are lords of a strong, young land
and ,we are lords of the main.
Yes, this is the voice on the bluff March
gale—
“We severed have been too long;
But now we have done with a worn-out
tale,
The tale of an ancient wrong,
\nd our friendship last long, as Love
doth last, and be stronger than
(Death is strong.”
GREETING FROM ENGLAND.
From the London Chronicle.
America! dear brother land!
While yet the shotted guns are mute.
Accept a brotherly salute,
A hearty grip of (England’s hand.
Tomorrow’, when the sulphurous glow
Os war shall dim the stars above
He sure the star of England’s love
Is over you, come weal or woe.
Go forth In hope! Go forth in might!
To all your nobler self be true.
That coming times may see in you
The vanguard of the hoists of light.
Though wrathful justice load and train
Your guns, be ev'ry breach they make
A gateway pierced for mercy’s sake
That peace may enter in and reign.
Then, should the hosts of darkness band
Against you, lowering thund’rously.
Flash the word, Brother, o’er the sea
And England at your side shall stand.
Exulting! for'thoutgh dark the night
And sinister with scud and rack
The hour that brings us back to back
But harbingers the larger light.
THE UNITED STATES TO GREAT
GRITS ANL
By Mary Baker G. Eddy.
Hail, brother! fling thy banner
To the billows and the breeze;
We proffer the warm welcome
With our hand, though not our knees.
'Lord of the main and manor!
Thy palm, in ancient day.
Didst rock the country’s cradle
That wakes thy Laureate’s lay.
The hoar fight is forgotten;
Our eagle, like the dove,
Returns to bless a bridal
Betokened from above.
List, brother! angels whisper
To Judah’s sceptered race—
“ Thou of the self-same spirit,
Allied by nation’s grace,
Wouldst cheer the hosts of Heaven:
For Anglo-Israel, lo!
Is marching under orders;
His hand averts the blow.”
Brave Britain, blest America!
Unite your battle-plan;
Victorious, all who live, —
The love for God and man.

consumption, and apparently not experi

that go down each year to premature
graves, one seventh are the victims of this
relentless enemy.
There is a prompt and practically unfail
ing cure for this awful disease within the
means' of the poorest. It is Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery. It cures 98
per cent, of all cases of consumption. It
cures bronchitis, asthma, laryngitis, linger
ing cougle spitting of blood, weak lungs,
throat and nasal troubles and all diseases
of the air-passages. It acts directly on the
lungs and mucous membranes of the air
passages through the blood, allaying in
flammation, building up healthy tissues
and driving out all impurities and disease
germs. It whets the appetite, makes the
digestion perfect and the liver active. It
is the great blood-maker and flesh-builder.
A sufferer does not have to take these asser
tions on trust. Thousands have testified to
their recovery under this marvelous med
icine after all hope was gone. Copies of
their letters, with names and addresses,

Do not neglect constipation. Your gen

and have no other pills that are "just
as good,”

when it comes to
price mak’g candle
power this particu
lar star is an orb of the
first magnitude.For the
past 10 years it has been
« the beacon light for bar-
gain hunters in Men’s and
Boys* Clothing. For ten
year it has shed its effulg
ence over the Clothing
trade of Macon and whole of Midlle Georgia. This is no boast, but an astronomical fact, as well established
as the orbits of our celestial prototypes. Like the Pole Star we point in but one direction—best quality for
the least money, but like otler stars we shine with greater brilliancy at times than others. This is
the time when we shine aost brightl . When the Clothing skies are darkest we give forth
the most light And ary one who can read the signs of the times knows right well that
the war clouds havedarkened the skies of the summer Clothing trade. Therefore
we have continuedto put forth more light; we have removed the thin shade
profit—from evey Bargain Luminary in our establishment, thus causing
every price tc shine forth in increased splendor and attractiveness.
And the wty the wise men, and the women, too, are flocking this
way preves that they have read the moaning of this unusual
lightin the Clothing Firmament. Within the past few
deys we have perhaps sold more Men’s, Youth’s
and Boys’ Clothing, Hats, Underwear, Fur
nishings, etc., than all the other Clothing
houses of Macon combined, though we lose as
much on a day’s sales as they expect to make.
Profit, however, is not the object of this sale. To
get rid of too large stock at once, pending a change
in business is the desired end. Be guided by us in
thdse things. The following are some of the satel
lites in this galaxy of bargains. In Neckwear we
