HARMONY WAS THEIR WATCHCRY. Fusionists of Micigan Are in Session at Grand Rapids To-day. Grand Rapids, iMlch., June 22 —The sire for harmony was the distinguishing sentiment among the delegates when the state Democratic and Populist conventions opened today. Apparently the Populist leaders had concluded that they wanted no fight over the division of state offices. They expressed themselves as willing to concede "anything reasonable,” but de clared that they oppose the changing of the name of the Democratic-people’s- Union-Silver. to 'Plain Democrat as pro posed by some of the latter party. The silver Republicans appeared to be agreeable to go with the majority of the parties to a triple alliance and all con ceded the nomination of ex-Congressman ■Justin B. Whiting, of St. Claire, for gov ernor and the selection of Daniel Camp, of Detroit, as chairman of the Democratic state central committee. The Democratic convention was called to order by Fred A. Baker, of Detroit, who announced Thomas F. McGarry. of Grand Rapids, as temporary chairman. Sectionalism said the chairmann. “has been obliterated.” The bravery of the green mountain boy at Manila was excell ed only by the heroism of an 'Alabama boy at Santiago and our Alger issues cjflers obeyed by thousands who once wore the , gray. j Dr. Nicholas, of Greenville, was made , temporary chairman of the Populist con* vention and Stanley Park Hill, of Oswego, of the silver Republican gathering. Both the latter conventions took a recess after appointing conference committees. CARMACK NOMINATED. By the Democrats of the Tenth Tennessee District. Memphis.

MARBLEHEAD DID GOOD WORK In Landing Supplies and Am munition and Driving Off Spaniards IT WMO LANDING, Thought at First that Place Was Controlled by the Insurgents, But Found that Not True. Correspondence of the Associated Press. Off Santiago de Cuba, June 1.1 —The United States cruiser .Marblehead, under command of Lieutenant Commander Mc- Call, has done some remarkable work in the landing of ammunition and the driv ing out of the Spaniards. Believing that Guantanamo was a good place for a base for the .American army if it came, and that the sheltered .bay would prove a good smooth spot for the smaller vessels to be coaled in, Schley, acting upder Admiral Sampson’s orders, sent the Mar blehead down to look over the ground. It had been asserted that the place was in control of the insurgents, but Commander McCalla found that this was not true, for no sooner did the cruiser point her nose into the harbor than two 4-inch shells flew over her. Discovering the gun boat that had fired the projectiles the Marblehead made a target of it and in a short time the Spaniards steamed away into a shal low inlet where the cruiser could not fol low. Commander McCalla then took a sound, came back to the squadron and reported it as a suitable place for landing troops. Then, taking a collier with him, he went back to the bay and under the very nose of teh enemy, deliberately tied up to the collier and for several hours coaled his ship. The Vixen and Gloucester, two convert ed. yachts in the meantime carried on ac tive work with the insurgents at Azarado. The value of making this place a point <?f operation may be better appreciated when it is known that it is half wa- be tween Jucaro and Manzanillo, two en campment places of the Spanish and San tiago de Cuba, behind Jucaro and Man zanillo, and running down close to the shore of Santiago and high and almost impassable mountains, so that operat'ons between the three places must be conduct ed along the shore line of the Carribean sea. A railroad line was constructed, running from Jucaro and Santiago. Bayamo, a town in the interior was se lected as a place for interior movements and to menace the insurgents and the work of connecting it with IMazanillo so as to hafe a triangle with troops at every angle wgs begun. The operations of Ad miral Sampson have broken one and the most important side of the triagle by put ting the insurgents in possession of Ara radero and the triangle has been broken by the landing of United States marines at Guantanamo. In addition to this it is learned that the insurgents have torn up the road and des troyed communication between Bayamo and Santiago de Cuba so that it is evident the three stations of Spanish troops are thoroughly isolated one from another. The* arrivals of newspapers and mail on June 10 was hailed with joy but much amuse ment was caused by the various accounts of the bombardment by Commodore Schley. The orders issued on Maj- 31 was not to fire on the batteries, but only at the ships seen in the harbor. No damage of any sort was done to the batteries on shore. The Spanish warship Reina Marcedes was hit as was also the Christobal Colon but not seriously. The object of the expedition was to find out what the defenses on shore amounted to and that object was attained . Ladies Bathing Caps 50c. Phillips.

MACON NEWS WEDNESDAY JUNE 22 1898. CARLOS REFUSED SPAimHRDNE Tender Was Made to Him by Strong Political Or ganization. WWIEUEBrnWI Representative of the Pretenders in This Country Gives His Views Freely on the War, New York, June 22.—iR. D. La Cortina, who is the accredited agent in the United States of Don Carlos, pretender to the throne of .Spain, has returned to this coun try from Europe, arriving here on the steamer Southwark. Although of Spanish birth, .Senor Cortina is a naturalized American citizen. Senor Cortina told a representative of the Herald that the object of his visit to Europe was to meet Don Carlos in Brus sels. In this respect he said his journey was successful. 'He declared that the crown of Spain six weeks ago was offered to Don Carlos and was refused. Don Carlos pre ferring not to take upon himself the re sponsibility or directing Spain’s affairs in the present crisis. Senor Cortina was asked for particulars, • but he refused to reveal the source of ten der. He said he had absolute orders from his chief to preserve secrecy. All he would say was that the tender was made by one of the largest and most influential politi cal “organizations in Spain. It was made, he said in the presence of Senor Cortina and Don Carlos’ private secretary and was accompanied with the assurance of strong military support. “Don Carlos refused to take the throne sensible man would have doneaharh—i qn at present,” Senor Cortina said, “as any sensible man would have done. The peo ple in control now have committed a colos sal blunder in engagging in this war and he will not be involved in it. The)' must settle it themselves, and when Spain is beaten and humiliated, iDon Carlos will step in and lead the work If reconstruc tion.” The management of the war has been pitiful. The Cadiz fleet goes out, comes in again and once more starts. No one knows where it is going, and I do not believe the naval authorities know themselves. “Weyler is not a Carlist—he is simply a Weylerist and is not great enough to lead a party. He belongs to no particular par ty, and is waiting to see who will take control of affairs before tendering his par tisanship. The Carlist party is too great and too powerful to need the aid of men with a record like his. “Sagasta and his party are fit only to be thrown on the scrap heap. First Sa igasta was a Republican and then a mon archist. When Don Carlos returns Sagas ta will be found seeking favor from the new king.” That the next step in the evolution of the Spanish government will he a republic is the opinion of Senor Cortina. “When it is known that Don Carlos will not return at present,” he said, “the peo ple will return to Republicanism, for they must get rid of the present dynasty. But the republic will not last. The Republi cans are divided into seven or eight fac tions and have no great leaders. Castelar, the leader of one of the factions, has brains but no force. He is not a natural leader of men. Magall is a socialist and Spain is not prepared to swallow socialism. Sal meron, leader of another Republican fac tion is too small a man to unite the war ring factions. “The Republicans will go to pieces and then will be Don Carlos’ opportunity. Spain will welcome a strong prince such as he is, and he will make a good king. He is one of the first statesmen and diplomats in Europe, and will be able to restore poor Spain, ruined by misrule, to her proper place among the nations.” 'Speaking of the war. Senor Cortina said: “There can be no doubt of its results, and but one opinion is expressed as to the result in Europe. Spain cannot fight with the United States, and must be beaten. The sooner the conflict ends the more , pleased I would be.” Senor Cortina left New York on May 9 and spent the time since then with his chief in Brussels. His opinions are sup . posed to reflect those of his chief. Ladies Bathing Caps 50c. Phillips. PRIVATE FELL HEIR TO SNUG FORTUNE Wandered from Home and Enlisted in the Virginia Volunteers. Chickamauga, June 22. —Weather clear, mild temperature and strong breezes pre vail. It is ideal weather for drilling. More guns arrived this morning, more recruits came in and everything is progressing sat isfactorily, with the exception of the pay ment of the New York troops, which is at standstill. The indications are that many weeks will elapse before the pay rolls are in shape. A number of Chattanoogans have made arrangements to distribute maga zines, newspapers and periodicals among the troops. There is a deficiency of read ing matter in the camp, especially in the hospitals. The rations which the soldiers are now receiving are entirely satisfactory.

Colonel Greene will recommend the ap pointment of a successor after Lorrigan’s resignation has been accepted by the war department. In the First division of the First corps men are now being drilled four hours each day, two hours at a time. General Wilson is of the opinion that long drills are of more benefit. Private Alfred J.

NEW EVIDENCE IN MURDER CASE Which Will Come Up in the Superior Court this Afternoon. SENSATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS May be Looked for and the Defense Probably Has Something Inter esting Up Its Sleeye. The Yon murder case was not called in the superior court this morning but went over until this afternoon at 3 o’clock. The opening of this ease has aroused a considerable amount of interest and has ; revived the sensation that attached to what was at the time the most sensational mur i der that had been committed in iMacon for many years. In fact it has hardly had an equal in the annals of crime in this coun ty. A tremendous tight will "be made by Mr. John R. Cooper to save Joiner, who is t charged with the murder. The prosecution seems well supplied with strong evidence against Joiner. It is now said the Brown man who sur prised the murderer when he was in the middle of this fiends work and who re ported the matter to the police will swear that he recognized Joiner as the man who was on the prostrate man and who, when surprised, ran Brown from the place with the dripping knife in his hand. Shortly after, and in fact on the night of the murder. Brown said that he did not recognize the murderer and that he was even uncertain whether it was a white man or a negro. He will now say that he knew Joiner at the time. If this is his evidence an effort will be made to impeach his testimony and if this is successfully done, it will very likely strengthen the case for the defense. Outside of this direct testimony all the evidence against Joiner is circumstantial and the defense will take advantage of this. The mysterious movement of Joiner on the night of the murder and other of the circumstances look extremely black against him. It is said now, however, that there will be other sensational evidence brought out and that the developments of the case will be more startling than even at the time of the murder. Undoubtedly the defense has something of interest up its sleeve and Mr. Cooper , seems very confident of the ultimate ac quittal of his client. A large number of witnesses have been summoned in the case. .Among them are the father and sisters of Joiner. The pain ful part of the tr.al will be the fact that these sisters and the father will be obliged to be among the chief witnesses used by the prosecution against the young man. His wife too is among the witnesses. She was in very feeble health at the time of the murder and since that time she has been seriously ill. She has a young child and the two have been largely cared for by the charity organizations of the city. Joiner has stood his imprisonment so far well and has not shown any eviden-e of fear as to the outcome 4 the case. It is thought that his statement on the stand supported by fresh evidence to he brought in, will throw an entirely new light on the case. Ladies Bathing Caps 50c. Phillips. NO INVESTIGATION OFBUCKI’S CHARGES Adjutant General Savs Colo nel Rav Has Done Noth ing Amiss. The following special to the Atlanta Journal from its Washington correspondent will be read with no little interest in Ma con and throughout the state: The war department pooh-boohs the idea of an official investigation into the conduct of Colonel Ray, on account of the ill humor of Colonel Bucki in not securing a captaincy. The adjutant general said this morning that the department would take no cogni zance of the matter at all. The depart ment denies that Colonel (Ray has done anything either to require an investiga tion or courtmartial. He was ordered to enroll his regiment as early as possible i and that the first companies t<? report were the first to be accepted. That Col onel Bucki was late in reporting was un fortunate, but tbe department does not think any blame attaches to Colonel Ray. RESOLUTIONS Os Respect to the Memory of Superintend ent Jeff Lane.
