STORYOFSTLOUIS TOLD BY HER LOG How She Cut FwoJCables in k One Dav Under a Heavy Fire. CAPTURE OF TWICKENHAM On the Following Day Starving Cubans Were Fed and Clothed 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.

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 are showing as handsome a line as was ever shown in Macon and at p ices that will surprise you.
