TRIED TO SHOT SAMPSON 00T Object of the Run Made by the Reina Mercedes Out of Santiago. FAILED Os ITS OBJECT For the Vessel Was Sunk by the Fire From the American Vessels Before She Reached Shore. Washington, July 7 —Sampson has tele graphed the navy department as follows from the flagship New York off Santiago, dated yesterday: About midnight last night the Reina Mercedes was seen by the Massachusetts, which vessel had a searchlight on the channel, coining out of the harbor of San tiago. The Massachusetts and Texas open ed fire and the Spanish vessel sunk oppo site Estrella Cove.

DRUNKAND~~ STARVING Were the Sailors on Board the Fated Spanish Fleet. Guantanamo, Monday' via Kingston, July 7.—The steamer Resolute arrived today with 508 prisoners, including eighteen of ficers and the crew of the Spanish cruiser Cristobal Colon. The disposition of the prisoners has not been decided on. The number killed and wounded on the Colon is small. The officers had nothing to eat for twen ty-four hours before the destruction of the fleet, and in order to get the men 'to their posts large amounts of liquor was given out. Many of the captured sailors showed the effects of drink when put on the Res olute. None of the Spaniards expected to be alive at noon on Sunday, believing the de sti notion of the fleet certain. iMost of their valuable were put aboard she 'Colon, the. fastest vessel of the Spanish fleet and everything was done to give her the best chance to escape. The Spanish officers express great ad miration for the American ships, especially the Brooklyn, New York and Oregon. The Spanish prisoners say that if 'the Americans had pressed the land forces longer the Spaniards would have been com peleld to surrender, as the troops were all completely worn out. ALBON HODGSON. A Georgia Officer on the Flagship Brook lyn. Editor Evening News: The list of South ern heroes in this war is growing. Bagley, Blue, Hobson, and now the name of Schley of Maryland, is to be written among the immortals of the American navy. Some time ago I corrected a statement in the New Y"ork Herald to the effect that Hob son was the only Southern first honor man at 'Annapolis since the war, citing two ex ceptions from Georgia alone. A letter from a gentleman well posted says: "Du- Bose made a fine record at the academy, leading his class consecutively for four years, while Hodgson's work has never been equalled since the founding of the academy. He is now navigating and ordi nance officer of Schley’s flagship, the Brooklyn, off Santiago.” Since that letter was written the Brook lyn’s splendid record has been made in heading off and destroying Cervera’s fleet, and this brilliant Georgian will participate in the honor and fame that falls to the flagship. Hugh V. Washington. LIGHTING. Improvement in Electric Light Causes Comment. The marked improvement in the elec tric lighting of the city has been a cause for comment for the last week. At first after the new company took charge—that is to say for the first few days the people of the city sat in dark ness very frequently. But commencing last Friday and Saturday nights the lights have burned with a regularity and bright ness that was remarkable for Macon. The fact of the matter is that the new company when It took charge was very badly handicapped and found that the plant was in poor condition and that the supplies were so short as to make it al most impossible to keep things running until they could be renewed. But wiih the energy and persistency that is characterisji of the man. Manager Carling at once plunged into jhe work of renovating and putting the plant into tem porary shape. The result was that after a considerable expenditure of money and much hard work the plant was put into shape and the lights commenced to burn with remarkable brilliancy. This was the case all over the city and will continue to be the case even with the very indifferent plant with which the work is being done. Speaking of the matter yesterday Mr. Carling said that it is the intention of the ccmpapy tp put in an entirely new plant as quickly as it caq pe done, but that meanwhile it is the purpose at ifie tattj.- agement to give the city as good lighting sis can be gotten out of the present plant.

ONE WAS SCARED; THE OTHER GLAD t So No New Executive Com mittee Was Elected at Todav’s Meeting. TOO FEW PRESENT ■ And It Was Thought Everybody Should Have a Say —Dele gates Chosen. Whether it was the weather, or whether it was the confusion in the announcement or whether the usual indifference on the part of the people that caused a slim at temlance on today’s Democratic mass meeting at the court house, is one of the things that will have to be represented by the letter X. At any rate today’s mass meeting failed to materialize to any ex tent, ano, to mt a long story short, some body saw that the better part of valor lay in adjourning to another day. The meeting which was called to order by Col. Jeff Ware, organized by electing Judge Warren Nottingham chairman and Mr. Tom W. Loyless secretary. It imme ! diately developed that the people who are popularly supposed to have acquaintances on the so-called ring side of local pol «ics were dead willing to postpone the election of a new Executive Committee until a ‘‘more representative meeting” could be arranged. Some of those present were mean enough to Insinuate that the thing was rather overdone; that while the ring faction were in no wise anxious to have a large and representative meeting, they at least de sited to have enough of their own forces present to be able to carry on business. And it is hinted that the complexion of today’s meeting, as small as it was, looked very bilious to the ring leaders, so they very magnanimously agreed to postpone the meeting, so that ‘‘everybody might have full and 'fair notice, and a represent ative meeting thereby secured.” City Attorney Minter Wimberly led the discussion in favor of postponement. He considered it nothing but right and proper, he said, that all 'the 'Democrats of the county should have a hand in the selection of a new Executive Committee. He feared the present meeting was not sufficiently representative to take action, and he thought it best to wait until a larger meeting could be secured. He wanted to see a large attendance of 'Democrats, and he thought more would be in attendance next Saturday week. Ring and anti-ring people seemed to be equally anxious for a larger meeting, and so a motion by Mr. J. H. (Heard was carried to postpone the selection of a new Execu tive Committee until Saturday, July 16th at 12 o’clock. And somebody said they thought they detected a sigh of relief on the part of one of the ring sponsors. However that may be, the election of a new Executive Committee is up to those who now care to take a hand in it. And It is a thing that every Democrat should take an active interest in. The majority, however, leave the selection of party man agers to the minority, and then sit down and kick about it during the ensuing two years. They are either too indifferent or too timid to take a hand in the selection of a committee, and • yet they eurse the committee throughout its entire term and say it is dominated by a certain faction. No matter whose the fault or whose the credit, however, the Democrats of the. county are to be given a real fair, square opportunity to meet and select their party managers. If they fail to do it is their own fault, and they have no right to kick. True the hour selected, 12 o’clock, will prove inconvenient for the average work ingman, but many of the latter sometimes take enough Interest in such matters to lose an hour’s time, if necessary, in order to be on hand. It is thought, though, that the majority can utilize the noon hour for this purpose, for the meetting will hardly get down to business before 1'2:30 o’clock. SENA TO RIAL IDELEG'A T ES. Although the selection of a. nt / cc.ti tive Committee could wait, the election of delegates to the senatorial convention at Barnesville tomorrow was something that had to be attended to at once, so Mr. Jeff Ware moved that a committee of three be appointed to select delegates. The chair named IMr. Ware, Col. Dupont Guerry and Mr. E. A. Waxelbaum. The committee, after being out a few moments, brought in the following list of delegates, giving each delegate the right to appoint his own alternate. The dele gates selected are; Hope Polhlll, Buford M. Davis, Sam Mayer, T. J. Ware, J. H. Hall and W. A. Davis. Along with this action on the senatorial matter Col. Buford M. Davis offered the following resolution which was unani mously carried: Resolved, That the delegates to the coming senatorial convention are request ed to secure the passage at said convention of a rule providing for the selection of a Democratic nominee for senator in this district in the future by a primary election to be held at the same time and manner as the primary for governor and state house officers will be held. Mr. Sam Altmayer, secretary of the now defunct Executive Committee, called at tention to the fact that the committee was now without funds, having refunded to various candidates the last cent remain ing in the treasury. He therefore asked for instructions as to how to advertise the ' rail for next meetting. Mr. Minter Wim berly came forward with the happy sug gestion, which he put in the shape of a motion, that the Democratic newspapers of the city be requested to advertise it free of charge. The meeting adjourned harmoniously at 12:30 o’clock, with the expressed intention of trying it over' again next Saturday week at noon. ENTERTAINMENT To be Giveti for Benefit of Company A, o the Third.
