SHRIEKS OF THE DROWNING
And Swish of the Cruel Waters as
They Swallowed Victims by the
Wholesale, Described by
a Survivor.
Halifax, N. 0., July 6—The British Iron
aliip Cromarttyshlre wax towed In here
thia morning by the Allen liner Grecian
with her bow torn away by « collision
sixty inilea south of Sable island with the
French La Bourgogne which latter vessel
w,-nt down ton minutes later.
Os the 725 passengers and crew on board
the Bourgogne only two hundred were
saved.
One woman was saved by her hueband.
The captain and other deck officers went
down with th«» ship.
The Cromartyshire picked up two huts
tired passengers and seamen transporting
them to the Grecian, which camo along
shortly afterwards.
Mrs I.a.tense, wife of a language teacher
at Plainville, iN, J., was the only woman
saved.
On board was "M. Dubose' from Mon
treal. It Is believed that he was the former
charge d’ affaires of the Spanish legation
at Washington. Ho was lost.
The log of the Cromartyshire says: “On
Monday morning early in n heavy fog
sixty miles south of Sable Island we heard
« steamer on the port beam. Our fog horn
was going constantly We blew horns and
were answered by the steamer's whistle
when all <>f » sudden she* loomed through
the fog on our port bow and crashed into
us, going at a terrific speed.
Our faret-apmnst ami main top gallant
tuast came down, bringing with it the
ystrds and everything attached We found
our bows completely cut off and the plates
twisted in every conceivable shape.
The other ship disappeared through the
fog however, our ship floating on her col
lision bulk head and ther seemed no im
mediate danger of her sinking. We. heard
the steamer blowing her whistle on com
ing back and answered with our fog horn.
The steamer then threw up a rocket and
fired shots but we neither saw nor heard
anything more of the steamer.
■'About 5:30 o'clock the fog lifted some
what ami we saw two boats nulling to
wards us with the French flag flying. We
found the steamer was La Bourgogne
from New York for Havre and she had
gone down. We laid to all day and received
on board about two hundred survivors.
We Jettisoned thirty-six tons of cargo
fmni our forehold In order to lighten the
•hip.
Captain Henderson’s wife talked with
several passengers and expressed the be
lief that there were no efforts made to
rescue the women on the Bourgogne.
There were many foreigners on board who
fought tfor places in the boats.
It was fully ten minutes to a quarter of
an hour before the Bourgogne went down
and during that time there was ample op
portunity offered to roecue at least some
of the women and children. As it was
only one woman was saved.
The crew of the Cromartyshire comment
freely upon the fact that only one woman
was saved out of 300. Nearly all the first
class passengers were lost, those saved be
ing steerage and sailors.
Mrs. Lacnse was the only woman saved.
She says the officers bravely stayed by
their posts, going down with the ship. The
only officer saved was Purser. He is a
strong swimmer.
When the ship was struck they were off
Cape Sable.
The passengers with the sole exception
of Prof. LaCaae were below the decks.
Without warning came the terrible
shock LaCasse rushed to the state room
on the saloon deck and got hie wife out
of bed and partly dressed, they hastened
on deck only to be precipitated In the
water. They were not long in the water,
however, when they were found partly
submerged a raft upon which LaCasse
lifted hie unconscious wife and dug to it
iiimself. Some of tho boats, LaCaese says
capsized and all on board drowned.
The struggles, the ewishing water, and
the terrible screams of the drowning made
Che situation awe-inspiring.
One man on the La Bourgogne, when
she sank, went out of his mind and jump
ed to a watery grave.

THE MACON NEWS.
GERMANY GIVES
SPAIN HOPE,
The Presence of an Unneces
sary Fleet in Philippine
Waters Gives Pretext
FOR CONTINUING THE WAR.
An English Member of Parliament
Expresses His Views on the
Value of Spain’s Fleet.
New York, July 6 —A special to the
Tribune from London says: Members of
parliament interested In naval matters as
sert that the comparative value of armor
ed cruisers and battleships is as much a
mystery as ever since Cervera’s fleet, with
English crews on board might have sunk
some of the most formidable of yhelr op
ponents.
Mr. W. A. Allen, one of the most prac
tical naval experts In parliament contends
tHat the Spanish navy is of no value nor
has it mechanics competent for scientific
warfare. He does not belive that Camara’s
fleet, entering the Suez canal today will
ever reach the Philippines and hopes that
Sampson will promptly enter Santiago
harbor. r
In diplomatic circles there is a general
feeling that the Madrid government will
not make peace so long as there is ground
for hoping that Germany will Intervene
in the Philippines In some way.
The presence of a German fleet at Ma
nila, out of all proportions to any require
ments of the safety of commercial inter
ests, is considered by some a convenient
pretext for the continuance of the war by
the Madrid government in the desperate
hope that some complication may arise.
Ambassador •Hays’ eloquent speech at
the American dinner Is regarded by every

NEW RECORDS MADE.
Welshman Wins 30 Miielßace Over the
Frenchman.
Philadelphia, Pa., July s—Twenty-eight
new world’s records were established last
night in the thirty-mlle bicycle match race
at Willow Grove between Edouard Tay
lore, champion of France, and Tom Lin
ton, the (Welsh wheelman, and as a dis
tinguishing feature of the night the little
Frenchman succeeded in lowering the
world’s record for one hour, although he
was defeated by Linton in the match race.
Judging from the time made, the race
was the best one of the season and tops
all the performances made by the speedy
McGuffee, of Boston. The race was post
poned from yesterday, and from the time
the pistol shot started the men, they fol
lowed their fast pacing teams without los
ing them once.
Taylore got away first and made the first
mile in 1:46 3-5. .At the second the records
began to go, Taylore still leading. He fell
behind the race in the third,, but again
topped it in 'the fourth. From then on all
records were lowered, Linton taking the
lead at the fifth mile and holding It until
the eighth. Taylore then went ahead for
all miles to the 'twenty-third, when the
Welshman again moved to the front until
the end of the thirty miles, winning the
match race in 53.10.
The performance of the men had been
so remarkable that the officials urged
them both to go ahead for the hour record.
Linton .failed to understand the urglngs
and dropped out, but the little Frenchman
kept calling on his pacemakers to speed
faster, and when one hour had been reach
ed he had covered a distance of thirty
three miles and 963 yards. The best pre
vious record for one hour was thirty-two
miles and 4,086 yards, made by J. W.
Stocks at the Crystal Palace, London, Sep
tember 27, 1897.
WILL GIVE IT UP
Methodists Decide to Refund
Monev to Government if
Congress Insists.
Nashville, Tenn., July s—The5 —The bishops of
the Methodist Episcopal church. South,
have acted upon the matter of collection
of the church’s claim, and declare
their intention of returning the money, if
the senate, by affirmative action, declares
that the passage of the bill was due to mis
leading statements.
The book committee had prepared a
lengthy statement of the whole case, for
publication, giving all the facts and sus
taining the action of the book agents,
Barbee and Smith. This statement was
submitted to the bishops, who, after con
sidering it, indorsed it and it will be pub
lished Thursday in the Christian Advo
cate, with the following statement by the
bishops:
“We have had submitted to us the fol
lowing papers of the book committee,
which we believe to be a correct and ex
plicit statement of the facts Involved, and
as the committee appears to have no legal
authority to take the action proposed be
low, we, as bishops of the 'Methodist Epis
copal church, South, make the fillowing
statement: While re-affirmlng the justness
of our claim, the payment of which has
been sought for twenty-five years, we in
sist that the church cannot afford to accept
it as a gratuity or on conditions that re
flect upon its honor, inasmuch, therefore,
as some senators have affirmed upon the
flopr" of the senate that they were induced
to support the claim by misleading state
ments on the part of the representatives
of the church, statements, however, which
did not affect the merits of our claim, we
hereby give this assurance that if the
senate, by affirmative action, deciare that
the passage pi rhe bill was due to such
misleading statements, we will take the
proper steps to have the entire amount
returned to the government. (Signed.)

KILLING IN AUGUSTA.
Constable Was Offensive to SLady and the
Husband Shot Him.
Augusta, July 6.—An unfortunate trage
dy occurred here last in which Con
stable A. J. Cobb was instantly killed by
W. J. Paul. Paul is foreman for Lombard’s
Iron Works, a magnificent physical speci
men, and a man well thought of by his
friends and aequantances.
When he reached home for tea Mrs. Paul
told him of the visit of Constable Cobb
to serve a subpoena on her as a witness in
some civil case in Magistrate Connor’s
court. She reported that Cobb had been
offensive ot her in manner and speech, and
Paul, greatly incensed, at once set out to
find the constable.
The story is next taken up at the home
of Cobb, where, it is said, that shortly af
ter dark, two men in a buggy rode up to
his door and called him out. He was asked
if he was the officer who served certain pa
pers and when he replied “Yes,” he was
asked to step with them to Judge Connor’s
door, only a short distance away. Judge
Connor was not there, and an altercation
followed bewteen Paul and Cobb about the
service of the papers on Mrs. Paul. Words
were followed by blows and then pistols
were drawn and Cobb was shot three times
at such close range that his clothing was
set on flee by the powder. He died almost
instantly from his wounds. Paul was not
hurt and it is claimed that Cobb’s pistol
was found loaded in every chamber, and
had not been fired at all.
INSPECTION
AT CAMP PRICE.
Colonel Ray Will Go Over the
Companies Tomorrow.
Battalion drill was held again yesterday
afternoon at Camp Price. Each of the bat
talions was in charge of its major, but oc
casionally Colonel Ray would take them
in charge and put them through some
movements which made some of the sol
diers open their eyes.
Recruiting is going on rapidlj’- and new
men come in every day and as soon as
they are mustered in they are given uni
forms, blankets, canteens and other equip
ments and are placed in the “green”
squad.
The men are now under better control
than ever. When they first came into the
camp they would always be around the
officers’ tents, but now none of them are
allowed around the officers’ tents unless It
is on some special business with the offi
cers.
The men are given very substantial food.
•A News reporter was invited to supper las t
night by Lieutenant Jones, of Company M.
The men In Company M had eteak, pota
toes, coffee and bread for supper last
night. There is not very much variety in
the food but there is plenty of It.
The second battalion will bear the colors
for the regiment.
The soldiers do not suffer from rain as
the tents which they have are very good
ones and most of them have dug ditches
around their tents to carry off the water.
Many of them are now applying for fur
loughs, as they think that they .will be or
dered away very soon.
The companies drill every afternoon at
4 o’clock. Many Macon people are down
every afternoon to watch the drill, which
is amusing as well as Interesting. Some
very funny mistakes are made at times
both by the officers and men.
The men are taking advantage of the
opportunity offered them by Mrs. Barbrey,
who has eo kindly extended to them the
reading room privileges of the library.
The weekly inspection of the camp by
the Colonel will be held tomorrow and a
large crowd will be down at the park to
watch It.
