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.

THE MACON “NEWS. 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 man and other foreign embassies and lega tions. RUSSIA WANTS IT.

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. M Remember the Mix Shoe Company. A PATRIbTICSHOE. Clisbv and McKav Have a Novelty on Exhibition at Their Store.
