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..

HEREAUX THE DREADJCTWOR An Hour’s Study of the Man Who Rules and Terror izes His People. Hi mis WITH l/IEN Picturesque Figure is Seen Lin His Role of a Courteous Host While Victims Wait. 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, New Patriotic Ties. Phili ps. JANE GRAY ASHORE.

MILES WILL GO WITH WINGER The Second Expedition Will be Ready to Start Next Week. 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.

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. * MR. DEESE DEAD, An Old Resident of Jones County Passes Awav. Mr. John A.
