PEACEFUL SEIGE
IS CONTEMPLATED
And the Attack on Spanish
Coast Receives Much
Consideration.
Washington, June 25—The proposition
to attack the coast of Spain while not
having progressed to any definite stage
has not been abandoned by the administra
tion. On the contrary, it has been the
subject of some earnest discussion.
With reference to Havana it has been
suggested that our troops surround the
city and take possession of the highlands
so as to cover every point of approach and
conduct a peaceful siege. The plan is yet
tentative. It would do away ordinarily
with the large fatalities that must neces
sarily folrew the attempted Immediate
capture of the Spanish citadel and also
would locate our troops in healthful re
gions.
Probably not less than 75,000 would be
needed should this plan be adopted.
DISTILLERY DESTROYED.
Second Largest in the World Was Totally
Demolished.
Peoria. 111.. June 25—The great western
distillery, the second largest in the world,

Cape Haytien, J\ine 12.( —Copyright)—
The remarkable audiences President Her
eaux granted on his gunboat, the Restaur
cion, in this harbor on Thursday last de
serves a special record. My cable dispatch
of that day has already given a full
idga of his statements recent
attempted revolution in San Domingo, but
that the interview may be properly ap
preciated it will be necessary to give it a
descriptive setting. I went out to the Re
staurcion, accompanied by the American
consul, Dr. Livingston, one of the most in
teligent colored men, by the way, who
ever had an official mission to this country,
and Mr. LA. J. ißedpar, who is in charge of
the most successful foreign enterprise and
who met 'Hereaux some years ago in his
own capital. We did not send our cards
ahead of us and were received on the
quarter deck by Ulysses himself, the
dreaded tyrant president, clad in a modest
naval uniform, of which a cap with hardly
any gold lace were the conspicuous feat
ures. He greeted us with a scrutinizing
air and with a gesture of Bohemia invited
us to be seated.
The president is a mulatto of medium
color, with rather regular features, show
ing the blending of the African with the
Caucasian types, a broad fleshy nose, fine
hair, tinged with gray, and a coarse, pro
nounced moustache, both cropped rather
short. His eyes are light brown and at
first glance appear mild, almost benevo
lent, and they look at you straight and
continuously while he is talking to you.
Unlike the eyes of most of his race in
these latitudes, the whites are injected
with blood and bile, and the pupils at
times express a contagious geniality that
even the poor prisoner expectant of death
recognizes.
Hereaux’s manner in his most dangerous
moments, it is said, can be caressing and
patronizing and the have even a saving in
San Donmgo that many of Cie poor devils
he sends to the blank wall or to the
freshly opened wayside ditch feel almost
flattered when he tells them personally
that he cannot afford -to pardon them. It
is no wonder that his astute friends, as
well as his enemies, have learned to study
his smile more closely than his frown.
The president is about 5 feet 8 inches in
height, of athletic bui'ld, though his right
arm is still half disabled from the effects
of two old wounds near the elbow, and of
deliberate movement for the most part, as
if all he did in public was nicely calculat
ed. Yet he is capable of great animation,
volubility and vivacity even. He spices
his talk with satire and irony, occasional
ly laughs broadly at his own Jokes. It is
impossible not to be impressed with the
strong grasp of his mind and by the sub
tlety of his cunning. All the time our
conversation went on— it was something
over an hour—first with myself and at
intervales with visitor after visitor,
who came to pay his respects, there
were three or four poor fellows down in
the bowels of the ship 'Revolutionist taken
with arms in their hands, who were wail
ing the word of the dictator to determine
whether they should live or die.
The president spoke without reserve of
the errors of the Haytien negotiations and
denounced the unwisdom of their repel
lant attitude toward the foreigner. He
recognized the fact that future progfess of
his own country lay in the encouragemnt
of 'foreign enterprises within its borders.
Above aM, he would be~ chary of pro
voking the ill will of the United States of
America. Some day, he declared, all of the
greater Antiles would either belong to or
be under the protection of the American
republic. There whs but one sensible course
for Santo Domino or for Hayti and that
was to cultivate the best political and
commercial relations with the United
State .s
On the subject of neutrality General
Hereaux was somewhat ambiguous. He
was indisposed, he said, to offend either
Spain or the United States. The enmity of
the former might be as disastrous for his
government as that of the latter. Still he
allowed it to be understood that if it canie
to a choice he must decide to stand with
the Americans. It was when the conversa
tion turned to the abortive uprising at
•Monte Christi that he real opportunity to
study the character of the mulato dicta
tor presented itself.
To begin with, it was curious to ob
serve the words and manner of certain of
the Dominicans and prominent Haytiens
who came aboard to pay homage to He
reaux. Some otf the former had been hand
in-hand with the conspirators. I know per
sonally that hi was the case. One in par
ticular, a bosom friend of the president,
who had intercede for him, appeared with
almost an exquisite bow and a careful
smile, both (earned in Paris, and addressed
some honeyed praises to the great man in
a very high pitched effort to hide its lack
of assurance.
Just before the president had been talk
ing easily and evidently much to his own
satisfaction about the revolution. Instantly
his eyes rested on the Dominican a shadow - ,
dark, almost menacing and ugly, ilited
across his face; but it w - as onvl for an
instant. The next one might w - ejl have felt
astonishment at the paternal quality of the
smile not unmixed with a suggestion of
pity, with which he regarde the young
man. It was as if he realized the futility
of the machinations of persons of this type
and had a propretic vision of the fate he
might mete out when this same boyish
meddler again engaed in a revolutionary
undertaking,
'Hereaux’s conduct toward his brother
in-law - is still vividly remembered- He
took the man to live with him in the
presidential palace at Santo Domingo,
clothed, fed and gave him official dignity.
Twice the beneficiary conspired against
the benefactor. The first time he was for
given. The second time H'Hereaux called
him and said: "I have tried to make
a gentleman of you. Now, I want you to
put on your full dress costume. In one
hour you will be shot. There is no use
for you to say anything. It must be. Only
I particularly request that you behave like
a gentleman.” And the brother-in-law was
shot dead at the hour and minute,

The Second Expedition Will

SANTIAGO IS THE PEACE
Os All Military Operations Against
the Enemy in the West Indies —
Formation of Brigades.
New York, June 25—A special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
General Miles has made all arrange
ments to leave ‘Washiugton at once for
Tampa, to embark there as soon as possi
ble with General Ooppinger and the fourth
army corps of about 18,000 men, for San
tiago, that point being definitely an
nounced as the chief outlaying base of
supplies for subsequent military and naval
operations agaiust the army in the West
Indies.
General Miles expressed the hope that
General Shafter will have succeeded in
taking possession of Santiago before he
reaches there, but in case this achievement
is delayed the large army of reinforce
ments will undoubtedly be able to effect
a speedy termination of siege, as well as
neutralize the heavy additional forces con
stituting the flower of the Spanish army
in Cuba, consisting of 10,000 men under
Pando, know - n as their fighting general,
which is now - reported as hastening to the
scene overland from Holguin, seventy
miles in an air line.
General Shafter has been directed by
cable to get all the supplies out of his
transports as quickly as possible, and
hasten them back to Tampa for General
Coppinger’s troops, who are now - ready to
embark, and Secretary Long sent orders
at the same time to Admiral Sampson to
furnish an effective convoy of warships
for the expedition..
It is believed the big fleet can start on
its return voyage not later than Sunday,
and that they can reach Tampa as early
as Thursday morning, their empty condi
tion being conducive to the attainment of
much higher speed than they made on the
outward voyage.
With no troops aboard it will also be
unnecessary to exercise such strict precau
tions against the possibility of desperate
attacks by small gunboats or torpedo
cruisers, and perhaps the faster vessels
will not have to wait for those of slower
speed.
According to the present arrangements,
when General Miles arrives at Tampa,
Monday morning, he will immediately un
dertake the execution of all necessary
preliminaries to provide for the prompt
and systematic loading of supplies on the
transports and none of the exasperating
delays which marked the departure of the
first expedition are anticipated to occur
on this occasion.
General Coppinger’s force is composed
almost altogether of the brigades which
w - ere originally selected to participate with
General Shafter and it has the advantage
of thorough compact organization. The
organization is as follows:
Second division, First brigade, Col. J. D.
De Russey, Eleventh United States infan
try and Nineteenth United States infan
try.
Second 'Brigade—Gen. L. 'H. Carpenter,
First Infantry District of Columbia volun
teers, Second infantry New York volun
teers and Fifth Maryland infantry volun
teers.
Third brigade, Brigadier General R. iH.
Hall, Third infantry, Pennsylvania volun
teers, 157th Indiana volunteers, First Ohio
infantry volunteers and 'First infantry Il
linois volunteers.
Third division first brigade, Brigadier
General Jacob Kline, Fifth infantry Ohio
volunteers, First infantry Florida volun
teers and Thirty-third infantry Michigan
volunteers.
Second brigade, Brigadier General J. N.
Andrews, Sixty-ninth New York infantry
volunteers, Third infantry Ohio volunteers
and Second infantry Georgia volunteers.
Third brigade, provisional cavalry,
brigade, Fifth United States cavaly bat
talions of First, Second. Third, Sixth arid
Tenth United States cavalry.
Two battalions of First United States
volunteer cavalry and First cavalry Ohio
volunteers.
Fourth brigade provisional artillery
Brigadier General W. F. Randolph, six
light batteries, United States artillery and
twoo heavy batteries. The total strength
of this force largely exceed 18,000 men.
The first division of the fourth corps un
der General Sechw - an, which has been
removed to Miami will not accompany the
expedition, but will probably be attached
to the generals corps.
In addition to the thirty-two transports
utilized by General Shafter, the war de
partment has chartered all other vessels
which are available for immediate use and
will probably be assembled at Tampa the
first of next w - eek. They are the Louisiana
and the Hudson, the Unionist, the Special
ist, the Gatania, the Arkida, the Necues,
the Comanche, the Impassas, the City of
Macon, and the Gate City.
The war department has announced the
purchase of eight Trans-Atlantic lines,
seven of them much greater in capacity
than.any of the American transports here
tofore chartered and as many of these ves
sels as can be made ready in time w - iJI
be utilized.. While General Miles Intends
to accompany this expedition in sur | >rt of
General Shafter, it is not contemplated
that he will assume direct command, al
though possibly another major general, of
not two will be attached to the corps as
division commanders.
The detail of all additional officers, in
cluding several brigadiers, is now under
consideration.
On the arrival of the force at Santiago,
General Miles by virtue of his position,
will assume active command of all the
forces in the field and as soon as the city
falls he will undertake In person the lead
ership of subsequent campaigns, whether
against Porto Rico or various Cuban
points.

FOR LOAN FUND
AT WESLEYAN
South Machn District Confer
ence Has Done a Good
Work,
RfSOIUTIOHS IS ADOPTED.
The Conference Has Been in Session
Several Days—Trustees Asked
to Endorse Movement.
The South Macon District Conference,
which has been in session for several days,
has done some very good work.
The meeting yesterday w - as devoted al
most entirely to Wesleyan college. The
conference started the movement to raise
a loan fund for Wesleyan college.
For many years Emory college has had
a loan fund and it now amounts to almost
$30,(K)0. Since the loan fund has been at
Emory one hundred and sixteen young
men have been educated from it.
Bishop Candler made a strong speech in
favor of the movement and so did several
other prominent ministers. Over one hun
dred dollars was raised in a few minutes.
The conference authorized each district
conference in both Georgia and Florida to
raise money for the Wesleyan loan fund.
It is hoped by the conference that all the
alumni will take up the movement and as
sist in the work.
A committee with Mr. J. J. Cobb as
chairman, drew up the following resolu
tions:
Resolved 1. That we recognize the great
need of a loan fund to aid young ladies
who desire a thorough collegiate education
at Wesleyan, but are unable to pay the
same.
2. That we raise now SIOO with which
to start this work, pleading to it either
our churches, Sunday schools, or leagues.
3. That we will urge the alumni of Wes
leyan at our respective charges to organ
ize for effective work on this line.
4. That we request the trustees of Wes
leyan at the meeting to be held next week
to endorse this movement, and to appoint
an alumnus of the college or some one
else to specially look after it.
5. That a copy of these resolutions be
sent to the various conferences of Georgia
and Florida, and that each one be urged
to add to the fund.
6. That the Wesleyan Christian Advo
cate be requested to publish these resolu
tions. *

\ sense by Stephens,
John Stephens, the murderer of young
James Kershaw, will be placed on trial
on Monday morning in the superior court
before Judge \V. H. Felton.
On account of the prominence of tho
family of the murdered boy and 'the par
ticularly sensational incidents surround
ing the night of the tragedy and the mur
derer, this c3'f- will attract much atten
tion throughout the county and state.
Stephens will be seen here for the first
time since the night of the killing and of
his arresj when he was hurried away to
Atlanta for safe keeping and >t# avoid
lynching.
When the facts of the murder became
known on that night a large crowd was
quickly formed and at about 2 o’clock in
the morning. After a conference with the
leaders, it was determined to put off any
decisive step until the following night. An
appointment was made for the same crowd
to meet at a certain point on tho next
night at a certain hour.
But Sheriff Westcott was on the alert
and after a conference with Judge Felton
it was decided to get the negro out of town
a3 quickly as possible. He was according
ly put on the train leaving Macon at 4
o’clock in the morning and was carried
to (Atlanta by Jailer Phil Stephan.
Monday morning he will appear here
again but as the excitement has subsided
and he will be given his trial at once as
there is no danger of anything in the way
of a disturbance.
A number of witnesses have been called
for the The line of the de
fense will in all probability be self-de
fense.
The case will not take a long time as
there were but few eye witnesses to tho
killing, in fact there was only one actual
witness to the tragedy.
