How the Landing Was Made With Six Thousand of the Tfoops, SPANISH_FLED FOR Safety and Hauled down the Flag Which Had Floated at the Station, SIX MILES INI ANO. A Detachment Has Gone--Stirring Scenes on the Occasion of the Landing of the Army. B.iiquiii. Cuba, via Kingston, June 23 —• At 5 o’clock this afternoon 6,000 trained soldiers ate cm imped in the hills and around Baiquiri and 10,000 more rest on ami' on board the transports off shore, ready to join tho e who debarked, as soon as available launches and boats can carry them ashore. Time, sea and weather are propitious fbr the' army of invasion. The navy and army | co-operated splendidly, ami as the big war I ships closed in on the 1 shore to pave the way for the approach of the transports and then went back a: ain, three cheers for tho navy went up from 10,000 throats on the troopships and three cheers for the army rose from the 1 ship after hip as tho troop ships moved in to take a share 1 in tho hazardous game. It was war, and magnificent was tho Cuban insurgents who bore' a share in the enterprise honorably ami we 11. Five thou sand of them in the mountain fastnesses and dark thiektes of the ravines lay_ all night on their guns watching every toad aild mountain path leading from Santiago to Guantanamo. At 1 o'clock in the' morning it was seen that the troopships. that have been lying several miles in the oiling, had drawn in towards the shore, while three’ or four warships lay menacingly mar the harbor. As the dispatch boat of the Associated Pres- ran closer in near the? iNew Orleans Presfs ran closer in near whetvN.’W'- Orleans was lying with her great arm strong guns trained on ißaiquiri tongues of lurid flame and black smoke were seen rising from the 1 town the inevitable conse quence of war and a sure sign that the Spaniards had gone, leaving ruins behind them. There is a steep rocky hill known as Punta Baiquiri rising almost perpendicu larly at tlie place indicated. It is a veri table Gibraltar in possibilities of defense. From the staff at the summit the Span ish flag was defiantly floating at sunset last night, but it was gone this morning and will) it the .Spanish guard which had maintained the signal station. Between nightfall and dawn the Span iards had taken the alarm and lied from the place, tiring the town as they left. Tho flames were watched with interest from the ships. Two sharp explosions wcro heard. \t first they were thought to be the report of guns from the Spanish mask ed batteries but proved to be the explosion o fammunition in the burning buildings. Three hour's waiting made the men on the transports impatient to get ashore and in action and every move of the warships was closely watched by the soldiers. A little before I) o’clock the bombard ment of the batteries of Jaragua was be gun by the ships of Sampson’s fleet. This was evidently a feint to cover the real point of attack. Jaragua being half way between Bairiqui and Santiago. The bombardment lasted about twenty minutes. The scene was quickly shifted back again to the great semi circle of the transport fleet before Baiquiri. At 9:40 o'clock the New Orleans opened fire with a gun that sent a shell rumbling and crashing against the hillside. Tho Detroit. Wasp. Machias and Suwanee fol lowed suit and soon the hillsides amt val leys were ablaze amid the wildest and most excited cheering of the soldiers on the transports. In five minutes the sea was alive with flotillas of .mall boats headed by launches speeding for Baiquiri dock. Seme of the boats manned by crews of sailors while others were rowed by the soldiers themselves. Each boat contained sixteen men. every one in fighting trim and carrying three day's rations. The firing warships, how ever. proved to be a needless precaution as their shots were not returned and no Spaniards were visible. A detachment of eighty regular infan try soldiers were the first to land followed by Shafter’s old regiment, the First infan try. then came the Twenty-fifth infantry, the Twenty-second infantry, the Tenth in fantry. the Seventh and Twelfth infantry, the Fourth Massachusetts regiment and detachment of the Ninth cavalry. The boats rushed forward simultaneously from every quarter in good natnred rivalry’ to be the first and their occupants scrambled over one another to leap ashore. As the boats wer tossed about in the surf breaking .against the pier getting ashore was no easy matter and the soldiers had <o throw their rifles on the dock before they could climb up themselves and some hard tumbles resulted, but nobody was hurt. At the end of the pier the companies quietly lined up and marched away. Gen. Lawton threw a strong detachment about six miles west on the road to Santiago and another detachment was posted to the north of the town along the hills. The rest of the troops were quartered in the town The town was deserted when the troops landed hut the women and chil dren soon appeared from the surrounding thh kets and returned to their homes. Sun bronze ! soldiers in slouch hats and set vice uniforms quickly searched the buildings and heat up thickets after land ing in search of lurking foes. V nightfall with long swinging strides and alert bearing they started for the in terior The cheers of their comrades .‘sa luted them as they disappeared from the view over the hills of Baiquiri. The land ing was accomplished without loss of life. editors in jail. (Milan.

Lawrence, Savannah; Ar thur (Marbritt, Atlanta. Five privates of the First Georgia regt • ment will be given commissions in the Third Georgia regiment of United States volunteers, says the Constitution. The governor has decided that he would do this in order to reward those whom he believes should receive recognition for the services which they have offered the country by giving up good positions and bright futures for privates’ places in the ranks. Mr. Walter Harris, of Macon, who has been commissioned a second lieutenant, is one of the leading young attorneys of 'Macon. He graduated from the Universi ty of Georgia with first honor in 1895 and re-entering the next year graduated in the law department with first honor in 189 G. He is considered an exceptionally bright man .and rose to a high rank in the university battalion while attending that institution. The decision of the gov ernor is considered a very worthy one. (Mr. Max L. 'Mcßae will be apointed to a second lieutenancy, as will also Mr. W. R. Leakin, who resigned from the position of assistant United States district attorney, which paid him a salary of $2,500 a year, and went into the ranks of the Savannah volunteer gvards. Mr. T. F. Pruitt is the fifth fortunate prvate who will be commissioned. The promotions will be well received by the commanding officers of the new regiment. Captain Erwin still has the position of aid on General Gordon’s staff open to him, .hut has ji.ot_accepted, as he wishes to fin ish some business in his office relating to' the formation of the old regiments. As soon as this is settled upon he will join the general, in all probability, if he is not made lieutenant colonel of the Third Geor gia. The appointment of Captain Hodges to a captaincy in the Third regiment is one of the most popular appointments that the governor has made. Bob will be welcomed to 'Macon by a host of friends. It is proba ble that he will be here tomorrow or that he will arrive tonight from Chickamauga. CHANCE FOR FARMERS To Visit the Experiment Station at Reduced Rstes.

MONK But None of the Trustees Seem to Have Any Information on the Subject At All. The trustees of Wesleyan 'College will meet next Tuesday week, the sth of July, for the purpose of selecting a successor to Dr. Hammond, the president of the col lege whose resignation will be accepted at the same time. iAt present the trustees who live in Ma con say that they are entirely at sea as to who maj? be the successor of Dr. Ham mond. ' iiutiibrf of names have been mentioned but so far nothing definite has been heard from any one in connection with the presidency. The name of Dr. lAlonzo Monk has been used more than any other in connection with the position, but it is not known whether (Dr. (Monk would accept as from i a financial standpoint he is in a better ; position. The salary attached to the presidency I of Wesleyan is only $2,000 a year and as , the salary of the- church in Chattanooga of which Dr. Monk is the pastor at present is very much in excess of that sum it would be a great sacrifice for him to ac cept the presidency of Wesleyan. It is just possible that the trustees would consider an increase of the salary of the office if the services of a good man could be secured, though Dr. Hammond has worked hard and faithfully and has made a great success in his work and some of the trusetes feel that it would perhaps be a reflection to raise the salary just at this time. But a strong effort is to be made now to secure the endowment for Wesleyan and this will of necessity add to the work of the president very greatly and as it will take an exceptionally strong man too carry out the plan looking to the endowment of the college it is not at all unlikely that the salary will be increased.

New York, June 23 —'A special to the Press from Albany, N. Y., says, according to the story related by James Myers, of the flagship New York, in a letter written to a friend in Troy, Admiral Cervera kiss ed Hobson and his accociates of the Mer rimac for their bravery. Mr. Myers’ letter in part is as follows: “Hobson and his men fought bravely to cut their way back to us, killing many Spaniards; but the tide was too strong and they were carried shoreward and taken prisoners of war. "The Spanish captain, of the Cristobal Colon came to this ship bearing a flag of truce and told the admiral that all our men were alive, but without clothes. We sent them clothes, provisions and money. He also said that our men fought like demons and killed many of their men; that the Spanish admiral said he never saw such bravery and kissed every one of them on the forehead. “Everybody is admiring the pluck of the Spaniards as the odds are all against them. They have no food, clothes or way of being helped, yet they will not give in. However in another week we will take it without loss of blood by having them sur render or will kill every Spaniard on the island. We are In it for fair, a<d will hold up Old Glory in spite of every human feel ing. The Spaniards have been cruel to our boys of the .Maine, and now we will show them what justice is and give them a lit tle of Uncle Sam’s wrath. “By the way, when the Merrimac was going into the harbor to its doom a big flag with “Maine” printed on it, was on the foremast. The poor Spaniards must have felt sore to see that we never for get.” SHINHOLSER-KEMP A Quiet Marriage Took Place Yesterdav Af ternoon. Miss Lillian Shinholser and Mr. Rufus G.
