Washington, July B.—The war dopert
ment has posted the following:
Mger (’-amp, mar Santiago, July 8. Per
fect quiet reigns here today. 'At the re
quest of the Spanish general the employes
of the English cable company were sent
1n to him to telegraph the government as
to surrendering.
"The mim are in good spirits and are
making tliemslves more so every hour.
The wounds are linn'll less dangerous
Ilian i-milrai wound- made with calibre 45.
"Among the large number wounded
■there were few amputations. Perhaps ten
would ouver it.
"Tin general health of the command Is
good one hundred and fifty cases of fe
ver, which runs its course in four or five
da\ bit is not erious. I feel much bet
ter.”
Our position has hewn greatly strength
ened during the list forty-eight hours. The
American lines advanced to within 100
yards of the enemy’s and our hili side bat
teries overlook the city.
"Lawton’s division advanced 500 yards,
to the enemy's gr< it surprise. The streams
have be. n bridged over, allowing the
transportation of heavy artillrey with fa
cility.
"If the hostilities are resumed the plan
of assault is for Sampson to bombard the
forts at tin mouth of the harlior. driving
the men from the guns, and then land a
thousand men and occupy the forts, while
launches with grappling irons go in and
countermine the harbor. The fleet will
then enter and bombard the city, support
ing tliu land assault.
The army is gathering strength. More
reinforcements are due today or tomorrow
and when they arrive the < xpected assault
on the city will be resumed Shafter and
Sampson ha 1 a conference the day before
vest. r.4ay and. as a result, the fleet is go
ing to make another try at the fortitiea
tjons at the mouth of the harbor tomor
row if the army is ready this will par
take of the nature of a general attack. If
not. then the navy's action will simply be
in line with an execution of the policy of
reducing Santiago by stages according to
regular siege methods. While co-operat
ing as far as possible with the army the
navy will not be sacrificed in an attack on
the Spanish forts. The dropping of a six
inch shell from on high through the deck
of the Indiana three day: ago during a
trilling engagement verified the predetions
as to the dangerous effect of an elevated
tire on the warships at close range. The
function of the navy m tomorrow’s attack
will be to help the army in tin assault
when it shall come to a final stage by en
tering the harbor but this will lie don.
only after the fortifications at the entrance
have been reduced ami the way cleared.

NO OVERTURE
FOR PEACE YET
In Spite of Rumors to that
Effect Nothing Has
Been Received.
BUT THEV IRE LOOKED FOR
At Any Moment and all the Repre
sentatives of the Powers Seem
to Think It Is Inevitable,
Washington, July B.—lt can be stated
authoritatively that no overture toward
peace has reached uhis government up to
the time of the cabinet meeting today.
At that time the cabinet members looked
upon the situation as having more factors
conducive to peace than at any time here
tolore.
It would be no surprise if peace over
tures came to She government at any mo
ment, either directly from Spain, or
through some intermediary.
This is felt to be so imminent that it
leads to numerous rumors that actual
overtures have assumed shape, but the re
port are premature and based on ex
pectations rather than anything tangible.
This is not only the official statement of
the government authorities, but the same
view is taken at the British, French, Ger

Approaching Nuptials of Mrs.
Sarah Grant Jackson and
Mr. John M. Slaton,
The announcement of the approaching
nuptials of Mr. J. M. Slaton and Miss Sa
rah Grant Jackson, both of Atlanta, will
be received in Macon with more than or
dinary interest. The bride-elect has many
friends and relatives in Macon, and Mr.
Slaton has also a number of friends in the
city.
No cards have been issued, and the con
tracting parties have advised only a few
of their intimate friends of the approach
iag nuptials. The wedding ceremony will
be performed at the home of the bride's
father, Captain W. D. Grant, on 'Peachtree
street. No invitations have beeen issued
and the ceremony will be very quiet.
Miss Jackson is not only one of* the most
charming and beautiful women in Atlanta
society, but is one of the richest young wo
men in the South. She comes from an il
lustrious family on both sides, her father
being one of the most prominent and weal
thiest citizens of this city, and her mother
being a descendant of aristocratic Southern
lineage.
Mr. Slaton is a member of the law firm
of Glenn, Slaton & Phillips, and is one of
Atlanta’s foremost and most successful a<-
vorneys. He is one of the leaders in the
social world there, and is a young man of
sterling characteristics and brilliant prom

Both Mr. Slaton and 'Mrs. Jackson have
innumerable friends all over the north, as
well as the South, and the New York Sun’s
announcement of yesterday created a most
pleasant surprise. It is positively known,
however, that the ceremony will be per-,
formed next Tuesday. The details, how

HOBSON TELLS
HIS OWN STORY
How He Sank the Merrimac
Given in the Hero’s Own
Words.
ICI THRILLING MOMENT,
When Amid the Silence and the
Darkness the Vessel Was Run
Into the Channel.
New York, July 8. —A dispatch 'to the
■Herald from off Santiago says:
Hobson, after he made his report to
Sampson, consented to give an interview.
“It was about 3 o’clock in the morning
when the Merrimac entered the narrow
channel and steamed iu under the guns of
Morro Castle.
“The stillness of death prevailed. It was
so dark 'that we could scarcely see the
headland. We had planned to drop the
starboard anchor at a to the
right of the channel, reverse ’ the engines
and then swing the Merrimac around,
sinking her direatly across the channel.
This plan was adhered to, but circum
stances rendered the execution impossible.
When the Merrimac poked her nose into
the channel the trouble commenced. The
deadly silence was broken by the wash of
a small boat approaching us from the
dihore. I made her out to be a picket boat.
■She ran close up under the stern of the
Merrimac and fired several shots from
what seemed to be three pounder guns. The
Merrimac’s rudder was carried away by
this fire. Thait is why the collier was not
sunk across the channel. We did not dis
cover the loss of the rudder until Mur
phey cast the anchor. We then found
that the Merrimac would not answer to
her helm, and were compelled to make the
best of the situation. ,
"The run up the channel was very ex
citing. The picket boat had given the
alarm and in a moment the guns of the
Visoaya, Oquendo and the shore batteries
were turned on us. Submarine mines and
torpedoes exploded all about us, adding to
the excitement. The mines did no dam
age, although we could hear the rumbling
and feel the ship tremble.
"We were running without lights and
only the darkness saved us from utter de
struction.
When the ship was in the desired posi
tion and we found the rudder gone, I
called the men on deck. While they were
launching the catamaulin I touched off the
explosives. At the same moment two tor-
■ pedoes were fired by the ißeina Mercedes
■ and struck the Merrimac amidships.
■ I cannot say whether our own explosives or
I the Spanish torpedoes did the work, but
the Merrimac was lifted out of the water
and almost rent assunder.
"As she settled down we scrambled over
board and cut away the c-atamaulin. A
great cheer went up from the forts and the
warships as the hull of the collier founder
dered. the Spaniards thinking the Merri
mas was .an American war vessel.
“We attempted to enter the harbor on
1 the catamaulin, but a strong tide was run
nlg and at daylight the Spaniards saw us
and a boat from the Mercedes picked us
up.”
AT CAMP”PRICE.
Discipline is More Strictlv
Enforced Among the
Soldiers.
No one was on the sick list yesterday
afternoon when a News reporter was in
Camp Price, but about fifteen were in the
guard house for the numerous petty of
fenses, such as being out after taps, late
at drills, absent from drills and insubordi
nation. 4*
The record as to the oumber of prisoners
in the guard house was broken again yes
terday, as about fifteen men were confined
there. The men in the guard house are
not placed behind the bars, but are placed
'in one of the rooms on the left of the
gate going into the park. A man under
arrest is under close guard and is no al
lowed to leave the guard house. They are
made to eat and sleep there and can only
leave when they are ordered released by
their captains
At 8:30 every morning the officers’ call
is sounded and all the officers -must at
tend the school especially for the officers.
In this school they are instructed by Col
onel Ray, in the different and most diffi
cult company and battalion formations.
The officers —and there are some rather
green ones at Camp Price—must be well
drilled before the men can expect to be
drilled. The men are sure not to respect
an officer who does not know the com
mands which are necessary for a captain
or a lieutenant to know.
While the regiment is in very good con
dition now, considering the time they have
had for drill it will be some time before
they would be ready for active service.
The men know how to march now, but
they know nothing of the manual of arms
nor of the extended order drill.
These two things are the most important
with a soldier. If the men are ordered
into active service the extended order drill,
which is a skirmish drill, will be used
more than any other.
The bugles will be issued to the bugle
corps this afternoon and under the direc
tion of Chief Musician Billingslea they are
sure to make rapid progress. The bugle
corps is one of the most important squads
attached to a regiment, as it is sometimes
necessary to drill the men entirely by bu
gle call, and to do thfts eaeh bugler must
learn the numerous calls by which the
commands are given.
The officers’ mess is almost finished.
Steward-elect Lieutenant McCall. Com
pany "M. 1 ’ has proven himself a splendid
purchaser. He has the hall arranged
splendidly. The officers will begin to take
their meals there tomorrow. Each offi
cer pays the steward, McCall, a certain
amount of money each week and he does
the buying of the food and other necessi
ties.
The officer of the day yesterday was Cap
ssin 'Marion Harris, Company “A.” The
officer of the day has quite a hard time.
The guns, which are now in camp, will be
given out to the men by Saturday, and the
officers and non-commissioned officers will
immediately gel down to work learning the
then the manual of arms.
A majority of the men in camp have
never been in any military organization
before, and it will be a very’ difficult mat
ter for them to learn the use of the gun
properly.
One of the officers received a case of
“Mumm’s Extra Dry” a few days ago. He
is at a loss to know who sent it to him.
The other officers are now his best friends.
The camp is in pretty condition and the
men are all satisfied. w , j
DECIDE TD HOLD
BIGJRNIWL
Executive Committee of the
Association Held a Good
'Meeting Yesterdav.
HILL PREPARE PROGRAM
And Get Down to Details at Another
Meeting to be Held Next Mon
day Evening.
The executive committe of the Macon
Carnival Association held a. meeting in
the rooms of te Chamber of Commerce
yesterday afternoon for the purpose of dis
cussing the advisability of holding the Ma
con Carnival and Diamond Jubilee thia
year.
The result of the discussion was that the
committee decided to hold the carnival on
on H’.t J -■ t icale possible and to make
It the bust thing of the kind that has ever
been held in this city.
The memeibrs of the committe present
were Messrs. E. A. Waxelbaum, the pres
ident of the Association, G. C. Matthews,
Henry Horne, Azel Freeman, Ellis Talbot,
Leonard Lilienthal, 'E. D. 'Huguenln, J. R.
Kennedy, Clem Phillips and Mallary Tay
lor.
The first proposition before the commit
tee was whether it was advisable to hold
the carnival this year in view of the fact
that the war might interfere and the mer
chants of the city would be disinclined to
give financial aid necessary to the proper
carrying out of the undertaking.
Short speeches on the subject were made
by a numbei: of those present and it seem
ed to be the concensus of opinion that the
carnival should be held. It was pointed
out that other places in the state had
given and intended to give some sort of
entertainment to the people living in the
surrounding territory and that Maeoa
could not afford to drop out and allow her
self to be forgotten.
It was further pointed out that as a
commercial centre Macon owed it to her
self to keep well to the front in such mat
ters. The probability of an early closing
of the war and the.chances that by next
October the country would be in a blaze
■of celebration over the victory of American
arms made it all Nfie more imperative that
this city should at least begin the prepara
tions for the celebration of her diamond
jubilee.
It was the opinion of the committee and
of the memebrs wno spoke that the mer
chants of Macon, while not prepared to go
into any enormous expense at his time,
would be ready to- give the undertaking a
reasonable suport and encouragement and
that should the turn of events clear away
the war clouds in the near future the car
nival association would then be in a posi
tion to add such features to its carnival
as the increased contributions of the mer
chants would allow.
Mr. Azel Freeman offered a motion that
the carnival be held and that he announce
ment be made at once that Macon is pre
paring to give a grand celebration next
October. .
The motion passed without a dissenting
voice.
Another motion was then offered to the
effect that the chair appoint a committee
to prepare the the program for
The carnival. The wont of this committee
is to lay before the executive committee
at a meeting to be held on Monday next
sets of programs involving the expenditure
of different sums of money and that the
report of this committee he made in writ
ing to the executive committee for their
discussion and nhe adoption of such a pro
gram as in their opinion the merchants of
the city are prepared to support.
So, at least, it has been decided that
the carnival will be held and the members
of the committee are of the opinion that
Macon will be in a position to give such a
jubilee celebration as will reflect credit
on the city and its merchants and will
afford a few days of splendid amusement
to the people of this section of the state.
The committee adjourned to meet next
Monday afternoon at the same place.
