ESTABLISHED 1884 DAWN ING 11F A NEW OH ON OLD WLD SCENE. Approach of lhe Associated Press Dispatch Boat on the tittle Mining Village of Baquiri io Cuba, RE-AWAKENING Graphic Description of a Dav at Sea in the Midst of War. IS 111 FIRST SIH MORO Under the Arch of the Rainbow - Moralizing on a Dispatch Boat Off Coast of Cuba. Special correspondence of the Associated j’r. > md copyrighted 1898 by the Associa ted I’reKM. In <;u.inlanatno harbor, Cuba, June 21. A b.ilst. rous night with a nasty beam wind and a punishing st-a, the Associated fn dispatch boat Wanda, from Kings ton came rollicking, like a petrel, round jKiint Moraut. and, heading almost due not tli, was making for Santiago de Cuba. And ail of a sudden, up from the deep blue billows of the midnight sea, there glistened out all along the horizon a coro net of noble Jew. I.- -necklaces tit for the throat of a queen diamond, emerald and ruby, the signal lights of a great squad ron of some forty vessels, rocking under easy steam in the deep. iAnd as they rolled through the waves, the stars seemed to come down to meet the Great Bear, his lowest stars swinging just behind the lamps of the Indiana, the southern cross mingling its bright colors with tile gems that made so beautiful a night. .We had chanced by good fortune upon the long expected transport licet taking some 20,000 men to the at lack of the t of .’nba and escorted by a powerful convoy of men of-war. Perhaps it is that outward and visible signs of war thril me more than they do most civ ilians; perhaps it Is that blood is really “thicker than water” and that looking out upon the noble constellation of flash ing ships 1 feel myself half an American. Anyhow, the fact remains that d feel proud of our common “.Anglo-Saxon” kin ship and sympathetic as 1 must needs be with the ruin, the Derotta of a nation of most ancient fame, gazed upon the scene with something warmer, more enthusias tic, than mere English feelings. A scouting gunboat, ablaze with colors, at once discovered us. made friendly prize of us, questioned us and let us go, and till dawn we lay tfiere In a little yacht, rocking on the swell among the great company of leviathans. At daybreak we watched them bulkily awakening into life, taking their places with a monstrous lei sureness In the sailing line, and with the flagship ahead and the war ships thrown well out on the flank, steaming away along the coast to the eastward towards Guantanamo. Meanwhile we were steering to the eastward, and with the stately line of the squadron always on our right, far away, approached St. Jago de Cuba. \ sharp tropical squall caught us ns we went, pelting us with rain drops as keen and sharp as hail stones and crininlng all the black sea with points of silver. But we ran through it very soon. As the rising sun caught the rain laden air 1 saw for the first time the beautiful phenomenon of the double rainbow. One started, so It sitiiud. from our very keel and spanned only the few miles of the sea between us and the Hanking squadron. For the other, Iris Hung out her longest, brightest, broadest riband, the one end dipped in the sea somewhere on the farther side of the scene and the other was lost beyond the blue haze of the Cuban hills and thus it was that I first saw the ‘Morro of St. Jago under the arches of the rainbows. There are those who have written of this fine old Rhine castle in the Carribbe an sea in contemptuous scorn, not merely as a fortress, unsuited by the misfortune of its . antiquity, to oppose the scientific terrors of modern offense, but as a build ing no longer "of any use to anybody.” 1 cannot understand the tone of mind that, even under the distorting stress of war. can write like this in the public pi ess of so picturesque and. to America, so prvcious'a building. Granted it Is no fort, it is a thing of beauty, like nothing in \merican papers, graced with a reverend antiquity. The squadron should spare it if they can There is nothing to be ashamed of in re spect for an old past, nor tn the sentiment of reverence. The white cottages of the miners still stand dotted about among the uninviting hills or scattered along the beach, a shore most uninviting to one accustomed to the more comfortable outlines of Europe, and lamentably by contrast with the wealth of beauty, the superb contour of Jamaica. But soon the roast alters. The moun tain s lying back from the sea down about their feet softly undulating lines of hills, gintb heralds, as it were, of the sterner upper heights, and the fore shore is bro ken into outlying ramparts, the "first line of <l. ft nse" of the imperious hils behind, rounded knolls, great cushions of green upon coral stands, half islands they seem, and little harbors and bays break way from them to the sea. each margined with narrow strips of sand—wbat shells must be strewn upon those little inlets —bush, and deep, creeps with Jealous accu racy of outline. And when the setting sun caught the coasts, the rugged hills looked like (rumpled velvet, the bush a close piled plush. Groups of white house straggled down through the green foliage to the water’s edge, very sad in their forlorness. roofless, some of them, desolate all. And here Is a great iron pier, ten trucks in a row. all standing on it, rusty and red, waiting for the creak of a crank, the push of the strong arm. to strat them into life again. •And the day is not far distant for this Baiquiri. this queer little harbor with its ead hamlet, its idle iron pier, upon wihch tomorrow the electrifying hand of war will be laid —tomorrow—and Baiquiri knows nothing of the awful change that is com ing, the old hills know nothing and the unruffled harbor knows nothing, and all are dreaming together as it the past was to be the future. And yet 1 know that to morrow before the sun sets, the leviathans that I saw lying spangled with the signal lights upon the. sea last night will be clus tered round this little jort, that the rattle of small arms will shake all the folk in fuss and feathers that live in the slumber ing bush, that the waits of the machine guns will send the terns, that now float asleep upon the tranquil waters of the bay, out, screaming in alarm to the sea and the angry voices of field guns awaken the long distance echoes of the majestic lakes. What, a dawn Is that of tomorrow. What a day is that about to break. The life story of a people begins anew. To morrow the Anglo-Saxon lays upon the island the hand under the touch of which every country leaps with fresh existence every country leaps with fresh existence and renewed youth, drinking the new air of freedom and starting re-girded about the loins for a new race to run, the goal of which is peace, honor and tranquility under law [Signed] Phil Robinson.

London June 30. —The Star says it has grounds for believing that the European powers will not consider Dewey justified in opposing the landing of foreign ma rines, as Manila is still under Spanish ru’e. The 'Star remarks: “A foreign corres pondent says the German occupation is already an accomplished fact." The Star’s story about the situation •at •Manila is utterly discredited here. NO OVERTURES tor Peace Have Been Made Aw air Decisive Battle. Washington, Juno 30.—Tn diplomatic puarters it Is stated that no steps have been taken thus far in the direction of peace overtures from any puarter and it is not likely that' such overtures will come, either from one power or from a combination of powers, until the military situation is materially changed by a de ified victory or defeat. Just why this is awaited is not clear but it is none the less said to be the element which delays any overtures for peace. MUST LEAVE ’ PORT SAID Stated in Loneon Today that Egypt Will Notify Camara.

A sufficient force to guard the place will be left here probably from the volunteer force of sixteen thousand men now coming from Tampa and probably the entire fight ing force will sping into Caney or Augua doree. making the base of operations before Santiago at this place. The railroad from here to Santiago is being rapidly pushed by the engineers and a large force of troops and the selge guns have started to the front.

OVERLOOKING ST, JAGODE CUBA Movement to Occupy Caney is Looked for at Any Moment. SPAUISH EVACUATED The Town and Have Shown no De sire to Molest the American Pickets. East of Santiago, June 30—The Ameri can troops spent yesterday in feeling for the enemy and otherwise engaging in re connoissances. General Shafter in person went almost to Caney, a small town five miles north east of Santiago, with which the city is connected by railroad. Lieutenant Standing and a detail of Cu bans and American sharp shooters occu pied a small hill northwest of the Ameri can lines and looking directly down on both Santiago and Caney. The small number of troops now at Ca ney indicates that the Spaniards have practically evacuated the place and this is believed to be the case. Corporal Hucht, of Company D, Seventh United States Infantry, who with seven men was sent on outpost duty two miles from "Santiago yesterday and who was for gotten until the afternoon, was found by Shafter and sent into camp. The men considered the whole affair a good joke. They had repeatedly seen Spaniards who did not offer to molest them and the Amer icans spent the day as if enjoying a picnic. The camp conditions continue hard. The heavy rains yesterday set everything afloat. Rations are being served out more regularly, however. The officers and men fare alike. The latter suffer during the cold nights from a lack of blankets thrown away on the march. The American Officers generally expect a movement today to capture Caney, five miles northeast of Santiago.

MACON NEWS THURSDAY JUNE 30 1898. ANOTHER CALL FDR VOLUNTEERS Prominent Senator Thinks that it Will Very Soon be Made. MANV MORI MEN Will be Wanted Than Was at First Anticipated by the Admirr istration, Washington, June 30.—Representative Hull, chairman of the military affairs committee of the house, had a conference with the president this morning concern ing army legislation. Senator Hawley, head of the senate committee on military affairs, also came to see the president, but owing to the rush of visitors did not wait his mission, how ever mostly on the state military affairs, which also was part of Mr. Hull’s object. Senator Hawley while not intimating what he expected, stated positively that he had heard no suggestions of a third call for volunteers, which has been per sistently rumored for several days. Another well known senator however, who was with the president today and who is one of the president's close advis ors, said he believed that there would be a call very soon but doubted if as large a number as 150,000 would be asked for. He thought that the would be no definite con clusion yet. He pointed out that the war is assuming larger proportions than was expected and undoubtedly sooner or later a large number of troops would be re quired. americanThot At Nagasaki Japan and His Companion Arrested.

CUMBERLAND CASE Will be Heard by Judge Sweat in Law Li brary Today. Brunswick, June 30.—The case which involves the ownership of Cumberland Is land will be heard by Judge Sweat in the state library today, when a motion for a new trial comes up. The status of this case seems to be this: Some years ago the present Cumberland Island Hotel Company, a corporation com posed of various well known Georgians, purchased from the Messrs. Bunkleys the valuable resort on the sea shore. In the purchase a large sum was paid cash down and in addition a mortgage for $35,00 was given to cover the balance due. This bal ance was carried for some years and the interest amount was high. Last year the Bunkley estate filed a suit to foreclose their mortgage, alleging de fault o nthe Interest account as one of their reasons for bringing the suit. The court sustained the plea set up by the Bunkley estate at the last term of Camden county court. The owners of the property have now filed a motion for a new trial, and it is this motion which will be heard Thursday. CAPTAIN REFUSED TO GIVE COAL. He Was Ordered to Transfer His Cargo to Spanish Vessel. Washington, June 31.—A second attempt to transfer coal from an American vessel to a Spanish merchantman in Mexico, has brought out the old time pluck of an American sea captain. The 600 ton American schooner, Clara A. Phinny, of Newißedford, some days ago was authorized to clear with 700 tons of coal from .Mobile to Vera Cruz on certificates of reliable citizens of Mobile that the coal was destined for allroad purposes. On reaching Vera Cruz, Captain Phinney was directed by L. Gonblanc, his con signee to place his vessel along side the Spanish steamer Maria Herrara. In the presence of a group of excited Spanish sympathizers Captain Phinney bluntly re fused. declaring with emphasis that no vessel in his charge should ever lie along side a ship bearing the flag of his coun try’s enemy, much less supply her with even a pound of coal. The captain, with a crowd at his heels, marched to the American consulate and notified the consul and wrote at once to General Spaulding acting secretary, that he had placed himself under American protection. Exports of coal to Mr. Gonblanc at Vera ■Cruz will cease and the department will undertake to fix the responsibility and the punishment for the deed.

Washington, June 30.—The war depart ment received the welcome information to day that a military telegraph station had been established at Savilla, in the center of the present military operations, and that this point ran to a point near Aguedores, where it connected with’ the French cable line, thus bringing Shafter into direct communication with the war department. Beyond this the war department receiv ed title news from Shafter’s headquarters in addition to the important reports of yesterday. Nothing but an actual assault remains to be reported after the significant state ment made by Shafter that he expected to take Santiago as soon as he got ready to move without waiting for enforcements. HIGHER WAGES. Will be Paid by the Coal Miners in Alabama, Birmingham, June 30.—The Tenenssee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company signed a new contract with the miners today for all divisions and there will be no strike.

Washington, June 30.—Two additional clerks have been designated by the post office department, Samuel M. Kingsmore, of Ashville, N. C., and D. E. Quirk, New Orleans. They go to Tampa and from there will accompany the next expedition to the front. NEW STAMPSIrE NOT HERE YET But a New Stamp Clerk Will be Readv to Issue Them Tomorrow. The new stamp collector will take charge of his office in the government building to morrow morning at 8 o’clock. Miss Brun ner, who has been in the office for a long time, Is out. The collector will have a full supply of stamps on hand for the people who wil have to use them. The law in regard to the stamps goes into effect tomorrow morning. This law was passed by congress in order that revenue might be raised to help the government carry on the v/ar In which it is now en gaged. This same law was in effect for several years after the past civil war and it brought in a vast amount of revenue. It was done then to reimburse the govern ment for the expense incurred in carrying on the war. Now the government has levied this same tax again. All checks, sight drafts, time drafts and notes will have to have a stamp on them before they will be cashed by the banks. Also, all the telegrams must be stamped. A tax of 2 cents is to be paid on each check cashed, on each sight draft, on each time draft and on each note. The owners of the checks, notes and drafts will be the one who are to pay for the stamps. The persons who pay for the stamps will also have to cancel them by writng their initials and the date on them. A tax of one cent is to be levied on each telegram sent. The banks will also be taxed $2 for every SI,OOO in capital. A person or a bank who receives or pays money out on checks, notes or drafts with out there being a stamp on them and the stamp cancelled Is liable to a heavy fine. Many of the bankers say that this tax will last only until the close of the pres ent war, when it will be revoked. If the stamps do not arrive today it Is probable that there will be considerable telegraphic inquiry as to whether they will get here tomorrow, and what course shall be pursued if none are on hand to meet the public requirements. Several business men stated today that if the stamps did not arrive they would go on with their tran sactions as though there were no law in existence requiring stamps, merely keep ing a memorandum of ail checks and other stamp bearing papers issued in order to meet any demands which might be made upon the mfrom the government. Busi ness could not be brought to a standstill they say, merely because the government failed to properly supply the stamp-: which the law directs shall be used. The use of ordinary postage stamps is not permitted. The issuing of checks in payment of small accounts will be greatly reduced af ter this month. Business houses will car ry a larger amount of cash on hand and will pay out currency in settlement of lo cal bills, planters in the country have ap parenty adopted the plan of having « larger cash atcount and instead of issuing drafts on their factors for all kinds of amounts will settle as many claims as pos sible in eash, drawing directly on them for large sums occasionally.

New York, June 30 —A dispatch to the Tribune from Washington says: Advices are momentarily expected from General Shafter or from Admiral Sampson that Morro Castle and its neighboring bat teries on the eastern side of the narrow entrance to Santiago harbor, including tho works at Estrella Point and Santa Catalina have been occupied by the American forces and that the Spaniards have been driven from ti , for li.nations on the west, La Socapa, Canoes I‘oint and Smith Cayo. Army and navy officers evince the live liest anxiety to secure news of this. Up to this time the newspaper dispatches from the front have invariably chronicled im portant events considerably in advance of the official reports and they were eagerly asked for by officials on this account. 'Both army and navy officers here agree with remarkable unanimity that the actual occupation of the unhealthy city of San tiaga possesses few attractions from a military standpoint, as its position could easily be shelled by Admiral Cervera’s fleet. That fleet, however, is the sole ob ject of the combined American naval and military operations around Santiago and its destruction having been impossible of at tainment by Admiral Sampson acting alone. The Fifth army corps was de spatched to operate with him in eliminat ing the four armored Spanish cruisers from further consideration in the present war. It was impossible to send the American naval vessels through the narrow en trance on account of the elaborate outfit of mines which the Spaniards were known to have established before Cervera’s squad ron reached here and it is reliably report ed that he has since made it impossible for any offensive battleship to approach the in ner harbor by planting an additional ef fective system of submarine explosives from the magazines of his own ships. With the American land forces in pos session of the shore batteries, however, the wires which operate the mines could be speedily cut and the American fleet could promptly countermine the channel and forcing an entrance into the deep wa ter in the interior of the bay, bring about such a conclusive short range battle with the squadron as that of two months ago at Manila. For some time American naval officers have considered this plan the only one that gave any promise of effecting a solution of the Santiago problem, and it is well known that Admiral Sampson thoroughly approv ed it as the speediest method of destroy ing Cervera, although at the time of the army’s tedious delay in getting away from Tampa he permitted Hobson to try to sink the ’Merrimac in the channel, having in contemplation ’the complete investment of Santiago by land and sea and the eventual starving out of the Spanish forces afloat and ashore. The certainty that the 'Mer rimac now offers practically no obstacle to the navigation of the channel is under stood to have led Admiral Sampson and General Shafter to agree upon the imme diate seizure of the entrance forts, with their control of the mine fields, and unless some unforseen circumstance has arisen since Sunday to altar the plans, it should have been carried out by this time. The officials understood that Admiral Sampson would open fire on Morro and the other batteries yesterday morning at day break and continue firing with all his ves sels, including the Vesuvius, until every Spaniard in the works was either disabled or driven out. Yesterday morning General Shafter had a large part of his corps, in cluding a large part of his advance forces, on the hills, within two miles of Moro and everything was arranged so that the castle might be occupied within two hours after the bombardment ceased. Perhaps this attack was postponed, but at any rate army officials believe that it has already Occurred, and for that reason do not wor ry about the reported advance of General Pando to reinforce Santiago when the United States forces have no use for that city. EXPLOSION Os Gas Caused Fire in Kess ler’s Store this Morning. This morning about 6 o’clock a fire broke out in Kessler’s store on Cherry street, near Third,. The gas meter in the store exploded and Mr. I. Kessler was very bad ly burned. The fire was caused by the explosion of the gas meter. Yesterday some changes were made in the meter and while connect ing it up it seems that a small opening was left in the pipe. The meter is under one of the show win dows. 'Mr. Kessler said that the smell of gas was very strong last night before he left the store and that it was still very strong this morning when he returned. He tried to open the place where the meter is situated and as he did so the gas ex ploded burning him badly about the face and arms and setting the store on fire. The alarm was turned in and the fire department responded promptly. The front part of the store was badly damaged. The goods in all of the show windows were completely destroyed and the remainder of the goods were damaged by smoke and water. The loss will be nearly SSOO. The stock of goods was insured.
