Barbed Wire is About the Only De fense There is for the Town— Pando and His Forces. Two men who are recognized by the n.w itary authorities as havng complete infor mation of the ground around Biquiri, Ju ragua, Santiago and the entire field of the present war operations, have been at the war department. They are Geo. W. Pfeiffer, engineer of the Spanish-American Iron Company, whose headquarters are at Baiquiri and a Mr. Zeigenfuss, general manager of the Juragua Iron Company. They will be ask ed to join General Shafter's staff to assist in the advance of our army. They have been conferring with Briga dier General Stone, on General 'Miles’ staff on the best means of getting troops, light battery and heavy artillery and gen eral stores west ward from General Shaf ter’s present base. Mr. Pfiefer says there were about 1,000 Spanish troops there wjien he left that place, and 1,000 at Sabony. They were all well equipped but there was no organiza tion or drill, as in the American army. About the only systematic action was when the bugle was sounded for ‘‘rancho,” or rations. With war declared, the Spaniards began their depredations and csnsiderable of the mining property of the Spanish- American Company, as well as of the Ju rague Company was destroyed. But the fine ocean pier of the company being built of steel, resisted all efforts at destruction, and has proved an effective means for the landing of our troops and stores. Mr. Ziengefuss. says Juragua exists only in name, as there is no town whatever. There is a mining plant, but he town prop er is Siboney. This lies on the coast, while the so-called Juragua lies four miles in land. It is between Sibony and the Jura gua mines that Shafter's troops lie. Mr. Siengenfuss says the ground is covered with underburush with few patches of open groun d There are no roads thus far east. The only things in this line is trails wide enough for a horse or one man. They would be of no service for light or heavy artillery, or any army until engineers have cleared them out. From Siboney west to Santiago the pros pects for the rapid advance of our army is much better. Instead of trails, good toads begin to run toward Santiago. iMr. Zien genfuss says there is a good railroad plant running direct from Siboney to Santiago. While the Spaniards may have destroyed the Santago end, a considerable part of the track remains. There were nine locomo tives and several hundred flat cars, gon dolas, etc., up to the time Mr. Ziengenfuss I left Sibony. There is only only bridge along the route. It crosses the San Juan river, ami is regarded so essential for the | use of our troops that three warships from | Sampson's fleet are covering it with their guns. There is practically an open field around Santiago, well suited for the manuvering of troops. Mr. Pfeifer says the city has practically no defense on the land side. There are no walls, no fortifications, no block houses and no intrenchments. Any thing in this line must have, been put up hastily with a few weeks. He asserts that the only thing in the way of defense from the land side, so far as he knows, is a double line of barbed wire, about five or ten feet apart, with a tangle of the wire in the intervening space. He calculates that with forced marches General Pando might reach Santiago within five or six days. Mr. Pfeifer doubts, also whether the Cubans could stop the advance of the Spanish re inforcements, as their main body is with General Shafter, and they could not do much against Pando and 10,000 men. blockadeTxtends TO POTO RICO. The Port of San Juan is Now Under Laws of Blockade. Washington. June 28—The president has issued a proclamation extending the block ade of Cuba from the couthern coast of Cape Francs to Cape Cruz, inclusive and blockading San Juan Porto Rico. The proclamation concludes: ‘‘The United States of America has in stituted and will maintain effectively a blockade of all ports south of the coast of Cuba from Cape Frances to Cape Cruz inclusive and also of the port of San Juan on the island of iPorto Rico. “Neutral vessels lying in any ports to which the blockade is by the present proclamation extended will be allowed thirty days to issue therefrom with the cargo.’’ NO TROUBLE Is Anticipated In Getting Through the Suez. Madrid, June 28. —Spanish officials assert that htre wil be no difficulty in Admiral Camera traversing the Suez Canal. It is believed believed the Spanish ships will enter the canal today. The Spanish government does not credit the report that an American squadron is to visit Spanish waters. The ports are all ready and 26,000 men who have been called to colors will be dis tributed along"the Atlantic cost south of Spain. POOR SHOOTING. Machine Guns Were Turned on Our Own Men. Off Santiago, June 27—*A bulletin issued by Sampson to the fleet says it appears that a considerable part of the damage done to our troops on Friday was from the machine guns manned by our seamen. THE MACON'NEWS. RECEPTION EOR OURJLDIERS When the First Regiment of Georgia Volunteers Pass es Through. HOLL Os MM WlilllfElS As It Was Called at Chickamauga on Saturday Last—Look Out for the Boys. It is not as yet known exactly when the First regiment of Georgia volunteers of the United States army wil pass through ‘Macon. Colonel R. A. Nisbet, who has three sons in the Macon Volunteers, this morning stated that the regiment is under orders to make ready and that the start may be made at any time. The first Georgia will have a tremendous reception when they passed .through Ma con. The whole city will gather to greet the Macon boys and to give them a send off. The soldiers of the home companies will turn out o tgive their comrades the reception that is their due and every good -ciizen who admires the patriotism and the pluck of these sons of Macon and of Geor gia will be out to bid the boys good cheer and wish them well. This is as it should be. The city should take a pride in this reception and should be ready at an hour’s notice. From Chickamauga, Ga., to (Macon they will have a hot and weary ride. Even if they stop here but ten minutes they should have the best the town affords. Nothing is too good for them on such an occasion and no man or body of men are better deserv ing of honor at the hands of the Macon people. The News is open for suggestions along this line and hopes that the city will not fail to do the correct thing at the right time. The notice of the coming of the troops may be very short indeed, but no short notice should be our excuse. Let there be ready a banquet fit for gods and heroes. Let the boys find a Macon wel come and a Macon send off and lets send them off with a whoop and a cheer of en couragement that will ring in their ears above the din of battle and wake them ever to the brightest memory of home and of Macon. It is not the duty of fathres and of Macon. It is not the duty of fathers and of sweethearts to bid the boys welcome, but a duty that devolves upon every good citi zen. The correct roll of the Macon volunteers as mustered in has not yet been published. Here it is as it was called at Chickamau ga on June 25th.

VICTOR BLUE AT OUTPOSTS of the Spaniards, Near the City of Santiago, Saw Fleet. Off Santiago, June 27—Copyright—Lieu tenant Victor Blue, of the gunboat Su wanee, returned to the fleet today from another investigating trip ashore. He re ported that Cevera’s ships are all in the harbor at anchor and show no signs of ac tivity. Blue went ashore on Saturday to the west of Morro Castle. Accompanied by the Cuban guides he advanced until two miles west of Cabanas and almost up to the enemies batteries. He rejoined Suwanee this morning. At one time Blue was at the Cuban outpost 400 yards from the Spanish outpost. “They popped away at each other all i the time.” said Lieutenant Blue, “but I do j not think the Cubans hurt the Spaniards very much and I know the Spaniards did not hurt the Cubans.” EXTRA DUTY PAY For Soldiers is Cut Off During the War Times. Washington, June 28. —According to 4 decision of the comptroller of the treasury, extra duty pay of all soldiers is cut off is war time, no matter where they may be employed. The act of congress on April 26, 1898, provides for an increase in the pay proper of all enlisted men in time of hostilities. The comptroller also holds that the act of May 4th last, making an appro priation for extra duty pay for certain en listed men in the quartermaster’s depart ment, does not authorize their pay for extra duty in war limes. MACON NEWS TUESDAY JUNE 2b 1898. SAYS JOINER ISASSASSIN Fayette Brown on the Stand in the Superior Court Identifies Him. YON MURDER CASE Is Non On And Will Probably Take Up All Day Tomorrow. Sensational Treat. In the superior court this morning Fayette Brown swore that Harry L. Joiner was the man whom he saw cutting Lawson B. Yon’s throat in the clump of woods near the Bibb mills on the night of April 9th, 1898. This evidence created a sensation. It is the first direct evidence that has been secured against Joiner. It has been rumored for some time that Brown would give evidence to this effect on the stand, but this has not been believed as Brown positively said at the coroner’s inquest that he did not know the man and that he could not recognize him. But on the stand this morning he gave the evidence direct and nothing could be more positive than his statement. • “That is the man sitting there,” he said, pointing at Joiner, who sat looking hard at the witness, but deathly pale. It was a dramatic moment and was ap preciated by everyone in the court room. It practically did away with all hope for Joiner unless such Impeachment can be brought against the witness as will dis credit his testimony before the jury. It was appreciated by everyone present that it was not probable that one man would so positively swear away the life of another unless he kenw what he was talk ing about. But the evidence for the defense Is not yet in and Mr. Cooper may be able to save his client by a rebuttal of the circum stances and the impeachment of Brown. It is intimated that he has in reserve some very strong evidence. The case was called this morning im mediately after the jury retired in the Stephens case. A jury was very quickly secured. About fifty witnesses will be examined in the course of the trial. NEUTRALITY Will Be 'Strictly Observed Along the Suez Canal. 'London, June 28.—First Lord of the Treasury Balfour, replying in the house of comons today to a question by Dallzell, Liberal, for 'Kirkcaldy, said Mer Majesty’s government was not aware that Spain had arranged with an English firm to recoal Camara’s squadron at 'Port Said. Every precaution, Balfour said, would be taken to preserve neutrality by the Egyptian government at British ports. SHAFTER BUSY ON CUBAN SOIL. He Has Arrived at at nJurugu arv and Inspects Oper ations. Juraguay, June 27, via Kingston, June 28—^Copyright—(Major General Shafter in command of the United States army of in» vasion, arrived here on board the trans port Seguranca from Baiquiri with Colonel John Jacob Astor and staff about 2 o’clock this afternoon. He was met by General Bates, who was superintending landing commissary supplies in the surf. General Shafter was wearing a straw helmet, soon mounted on a large handsome horse and rode through the town. He halted for a moment before the college which serves as headquarters for the Cuban insurgents and where General Garcia and Castillo paid their respects to the American commander. About an hour later Shafter struck off on the road to the front in order to con sult with General Wheeler and the divis ion commanders and look over the field of operations before Santiago. A SIGN OF THRIFT. Times Are Growing Easier With Every one. One of the best signs of a people’s pros perity is the easy circulation of currency. When the country is “hard up” and the ■feeling is general that there is going to be a scarcity of ready cash, everybody, the poor and the rich alike, hoard what they get. Now it is not so. There is a gen eral feeling among all classes that times are getting better. Our merchants are hav ing good trade generally, and the continu ous daily rush at the “Fire Saje” qf the Rochester shoe stock on Cherry street, which was purchased by Mr. E. B. Harris and thrown on the market, is phenomenal. There has never been anything like it. Here in the dead of summer a continuous shoe sale running into several thousand dollars weekly, certainly shows not only remarkable thrift among the people, but it also proves that unusual bargains are be ing offered them. Mr. Harris said yesterday that an inven tory taken the night before showed that HF had seventeen hundred and twenty eight pairs of men’s shoes an»d twenty three hundred and ten ladies’, besides a large number of Misses, Boys’ and Chil dren's. and as he had now got his purchase money back, he was going to inaugqrate a cut in prjees today that is unprecedented. “The rest of this week,” he said, “you can take a peep into this store any time behold a Christmas rush. My customers think I have given them wqnderful bar gain sbefore, and so I haye, hut I am now going to outdo myself. I like the fun and I am going to have plenty of it the next few days.” LET FLAGS FLY ON THJ: FOOT Decorate! Decorate! And Let Macon Wear Her Best Appearance. WILL REA GLORIOUS FOURTH The Arrangements Are Rapidly Be ing Completed—Entries for the Walking Race. A movement is on foot to decorate the whole town on the Fourth with the nat ional colors. A large number of merchants have agreed to decorate their houses and many of the private residences will be deco rated. The town will present a gala appearance on the Fourth and it will be the first Fourth of July that has ever been ob served under such circumstances as now confronts the people. The outlook for the success of the en tertainment to be given by the Library Association is very encouraging. Ma ion will have a glorious Fourth of July. The entertainment at the park will be 111 charge of the Library Association and all things point to a glorious day for Macon . A flag will be presented to Colonel Ray’s regiment at 'Camp Price and this feature alone will bring a large crowd to the city. The walking match will also be a grand thing. It has been some years since Macon has had a walking match and the old-time interest in them is being revived. Three entries were made yesterday for the match and several o-thers are expected today. Messrs. Eugene Anderson and Azel Free man have this affair in charge. A large number of people who expect to enter the match will be at the park this afternoon to limber up. Several of the immunes are sure to enter the race. A fee of $2 is charged for all those who enter. The match will commence at 10 o’clock on the morning of the fourth and last until 2 o’clock in the afternoon.\ The prizes will be $75, SSO and $25 for the first second and third men in the race. A brass band will furnish music for thd walkers. The match will be held on the half mile track. A fund for the entertainment has already been started and a committee is canvassing the business portion of the city today. rainy~season” IS DELAYED. Conditions on Island of Cuba are Favorable to Amer icans. On Board the Associated Dispatch Boat Dauntless, off Marine Camp, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, June 20. via Port Antonio, June 27.—Aside from the energetic attack of the Spaniards on the first American camp established in Cuba, nothing has as tonished the inhabitants of Camp McCalla and indeed the squadron generally, so much as the present long dry interval in the midst of what was suposed to be Cuba’s rainy season. May was ushered in with rains on the north coast and when the troops reached the south side there were a few afternoon rain gusts, then cloudy threats, but no rain, and since the marines have landed at Camp 'McCalla there has been but one brief shower and no more. The Cuban aux iliaries say that this is an unusual thing for the vicinity, and prophecy no more rain until the first of August unless in the hur ricane season. Camp McCalla has proven healthful and a fine place to acclimate and harden the soldiers. The men, some of whom were half sick from a three week’s confinement in the Panther when they landed, are all as brown as Indians and hardy as prize fight ers. They have had their baptism of fire and stood the ordeal. They have gone six miles inland and smoked the Spaniards out of their holes on the peninsula, beaten them in their own particular kind of fight ing anl lost one man wounded in the ex ploit, while the Spaniards lost seventy-five dead and wounded not accounted for. When Lieutenant 'Delehanty’s pioneer expedition to clear the riveh of mines be low Caimanera was broached yesterday, the marines were eager to follow the achievement by capturing both Caimene ra and Guantanamo, notwithstanding that Guantanamo is fifteen miles inland from the bay and far out of reach of the sup porting war ships. Besides there are 3,006 Spenish regulars there, but the Marines thought if two companiese of them hac whipped six companies of Spaniards a'. Cusco Mountain, the whole party ought to come pretty near getting away with the Dagoes up the river. The officials- smiled quietly at hearing these outbursts of enthusiasm and are well satisfied with the spirit that prompted them. All reports from the inland agree in pic turing the Spanish situation as desperate. The Cubans infest Santiago and Guantana mo so closely that even dispatches as be tween sections of the Spanish are captured oftener than they get through. The mil itary governor of Santiago made a demand three days ago on Guantanamo for food and reinforcements. The captured reply stated that Guantanamo was worse off than Santiago and nothing could be sent. The Cubans watch every creek and cfoos road and gathering Spanish couriers bring them in to McCalla or Sampson. The insurgents are gradually winning the respeet of the United States regulars. The Cuban soldiers so far seen are about 95 per cent negroes, usually -with white Cu ban officers are intelligent and anxious for their troops to win the good opinion o£ the Americans. They are ready for any ser vice. These black Cubans are fine bush fight ers, skilled in wood craft and are valuable guides. Most of the trouble with them as guides is when they atempted too much, Every one of them is emaciated owing to the uncertain commissary of the insur gents* army. They have been almost un consciously but systematically starving. It will take many weeks of good feeding to get them into comfortable condition. Nearly every one of them has a blood debt against Spain. At Camp McCalla there is one big negro, whose real name is not known, who is called “Old Machete,” for his fondness for the Cuban weapon. He has with him his little boy, the only one of the family left. All the rest, even his cousins, have been butchered by the guerillas. In aetjoq the old man becomes half mad with ex-- citement, drops his gun at the first chance for close quarters and uses his big ma chete like a flail. GAVE HIM HIS LIFE. John Stephens, the Muiderer of Young James Kershaw, is Sentenced, JURY'SJRDICT Was that His Life Should be Spared, After Short De liberation, WHAT THE JUDGE SAID. Only Thing that Saved Stephens Was the Fact that Kershaw Was Behind the Bar. John Stephens, the slayer of Young Ker shaw, was this morning at 11:30 sentenced to imprisonment for life. Mr. 'Roland Ellis, who has conducted a good case for the prosecution with the as sistance of Messrs. Walter Grace and James Anderson, concluded his speech for the state this morning imediately after the opening of the court at 9 o’clock this morn ing. The judge’s charge followed and took up about half an hour. It was impartial, but after it had been delivered the counsel for the negro said that under the charge the jury couldn not bring in a verdict of murder. In this he was mistaken, however, for after being out about an hour the jury came into court at 11:15 and handed in the following verdict: “We, the jury, find the defendant guilty of murder and recommend that he be im prisoned for life.” The court room was filled when the ver dict was brought in, but there was hardly a stir as the judge ordered Stephens to stand up: Judge Felton said: “The jury in your case has found you guilty of murder but in their mercy and within their province as jurymen they have decided to give you your life. I presume that the only reason they did this was that you shot the young man while he was be hind the bar. Had you shot Tiim while he was in front of you, no power on earth would have saved your neck from the gal lows. Bt he had no right fti the eyes of the law behind that bar and this fact alone has saved you. You may be thankful as long as you live that you fired that shot while you were behind the bar. The jury has acted in accordance with the mercy which is the attribute of all mankind and have also given you the benefit of the fact that you are a negro. The sentence of the court is that you be imprisoned in the penitentiary for the term of your natural life.” Stephens was at once removed from the court room and was taken to jail. Mr. P. Ketchum of Pike City, Cal., says: ‘‘During my brother’s late sickness from sciatic rheumatism Chamberlain’s Pain Balm was the only remedy that gave hhn any relief.” Many others have testified to the prompt relieif from pain which this liniment affords.

Isaac Marshall, an old negro sixty years old, attempted to kill several people in the Warrior district Sunday afternoon. It seems that Marshall had been taking too much whisky for his own good and became somewhat wrathy. His wife said something to him about getting drunk and he shot her, inflicting a dangerous wound. IHe then turned on two negroes who were standing near and tried to kill them. A large crowd gathered around him and endeavored to capture him but hq stood them off with his pistol. Finally a negro whose name could not be learned, came up with a shot gun and gave Isaacs a sprinkling of shot. Isaacs soon gave up and was brought into Macon, where he was placed in jail.
