July 10.—Captain Adolph Marix of the converted yacht Scor pion ami Captain Purcell of the Osceola, had a hot time on July 3d at Manzanillo, w’- ro they had established a blockade. Manzanillo has until lately been un guarded and the Spaniards have used it for a port of supplies. General Fan do and tots branch of the army being there it was decided to lock the stable door last week, and on Sunday. July 3. the Scorpion and Osceola were before the place. It is on a long, deep bay. and a close examination by Captain Marix convinced him that its de fense was one small fort and four gun boats. On Sunday morning Captain Marix de cided to go in after the gunboats and so signalled to Captain Purcell. Capt. Marix tells the story as follows: ""Imagine our surprise upon finding in stead of gunboats and small forts the shore line! with artillery and infantry. The fire we ran into was a desperate one. considering that we did not have any pro tection for our men or the guns. For twenty-five minutes we staid at it. and I chink we must have done a lot of dam age. I had no pilot and could not move In close. We were hit frequently, and at last, when a shot bad cleared our galley and 1 saw that it was useless to risk the men’s lives, we moved out. '"The gunboats lay behind the hills in small coves and we could not get at them We moved out slowly and the fire ceased. Tbe next morning we captured a large lighter and a sloop filled with provisions. No attempt was made by the gunboats to come out to the defense of these ships. The Spanish steamer Purisma Conception, which had been around the coast looking for a place to land money and provisions Is In the harbor and has discharged her cargo.” BACK TO SPAIN.

If the bombardment to morrow (today) is not quickly conclusive they will make the attempt.

Annapolis, Md., July 11—Captain P. H Cooper, superintendent of the naval acad emy, has completed his preparations for the care of the eighty Spanish officers, in cluding Admiral Cervera, recently cap tured off Santiago. It is probable that all will be put on their parole and allowed the fullest use of the beautiful grounds for promenade and other purposes. The buildings to be occupied by them are known as Goldsborough row and lie on the southeastern section of the academy, between the old mess hall and the gym nasium. Each room will quarter two officers and each officer will have a bed to himself Ther are wardrobes and closets for then clothes in each room: chairs and a large square table in the corner of the room with a hanging lamp over it, with an im proved burner. Waiter will attend to the rooms and take care of the apartments. The prisoners will be under the patrol of a marine guard of forty. For the present their commissary will be Steward Evans. Paymaster Loomis, who was ordered away this week to Portsmouth, as commissary for the prisoners there, is expected to re turn here and assume the managenftent of the food supply of the Spanish officers. It is a singular coincidence that the Spanish naval officers should be quartered In the very alma mater of the men who gave them so signal a defeat and made them prisoners. Amongst those who re cently occupied these quarters are Lieu tenants Hobson and "Blue and Cadets Pow ell and Hart. Hobson’s apartments adjoin the Spanish quarters, and, as the head of the department of naval construction, he has much valuable naval data there. SPANISH GUNBOATS Will be Hunted Out of the Coves of the Is land of Cuba, Washington, July 11.—The navy is pre paring for a grand hunt throughout the West Indies.

Many of the little boats have been al ready spoted through the agency of the state department, and the others will be located soon by’ the aid of the swift little torpedo boats and auxiliary craft. It was with this object in view that the recently’ constructed torpedo boats Gwinn, Morrison and others were ordered from the North to Florida waters. STEAMER CAPTURED.

The Secretary said he expected to get the news of the fall of Santiago at any hour, but added, however, that his expectation was based largely upon his hopes. Indications are that all truces are off and the final struggle may even now be on. SHAFTER’S FIRST WOUND. H s Father’s Sneering Prophecy Was Ful filled. Lapeer, Mich., July n—Capt. George H. Henderson, of Lapeer, served in the civil war with General Shafter, at that time a lieutenant of a company of the Seventh Michigan volunteer infantry. It was one of those very hot nights last week, and the captain was sitting, fanning himself in front of Lincoln’s store. “Cap. did you ever know General Shaf ter?” “Know him! Os course I did. He was a lieutenant in the Seventh the same time I was, and we were chums together. He was a mighty good officer and mighty good fellow. H once told me a funny thing about his father. Bill worked with his father on the farm in Kalamazoo county. I guess the old man did not exactly like to have him go to the war. The citizens turned out to see the boys take the train at Galesburg, and Mr. Shafter was among them. “ ‘Good-bye, Bill,’ said he. as the train was starting. ‘I expect to hear soon that you got shot in the seat of your trousers.’ “Well, pretty soon Bill got to be adju tant. and in one of the first fights he was wheeling his horse around and a rifle ball Just grazed his saddle and went into bis Sesb. Oh. he store like a pirate. You could have heard him a half mile off. Then, after he got cooled down s little, he .-eid to some c.f those who were near him: ’What will my father say now?’ "They wanted officers In the- regular army to commani colored troops, and Shafter went. He wanted me to go, too. ani I consented, and passed mv examina tion. but the boys in the Seventn wanted to stay with them, and I yielded, and that’s where I made a great mistake.” MACON NEWS MONDAY JULY n 1898. PROPOSITION WASJEJECTED Spanish Terms of Surrender Did Not Suit Either Mc kinley or Shafter. SIEGE GUNS 111 HKHIU And Shafter Thinks He Will be Able to Take Santiago in Three Days. (Copyrighted by Associated Press.) Shafter’s Headquarters July 10, via Kingston, July 11—At 11:10 o’clock this morning Shafter notified General Toral, the Spanish commander that by President McKinley’s direction, the Spanish propo sition of surrender if the garrison is al lowed to leave Santiago with side arms, was rejected and the United States -would accept no terms but immediate and un conditional surrender. Toral replied in a brief note that he rejected President Mc- Kinley’s proposal and would discuss no other terms than those suggested by him self. At 3:15 o’clock Shafter notified Toral that the armistice would be terminated and hostilities resumed at 4 o’clock. At the same time he issued instructions to eajh division of the commands to prepare for a fresh attack on the Spanish works. These orders had been promulgated from Aqua dores to Caney. When the courier left with this dispatch just before, the artillery was preparing to open on the Spanish warks. The dynamite guns have been trained on the Spanish block house with such abso lute precision that the first shot will obli terate it. The American soldiers will sleep in the trenches tonight. Eight batteries of light artillery will be in position by midnight and the seige guns Just landed will be ready for action at 4 o’clock in the morn ing. Shafter said to a correspondent of the Associated Press this afternoon: ’Our lines cannot be made more effect ive, but if a chance offers to increase our (strength I will take advantage of it. I will not be surprised it we have Santiago in three days.” At Caney there are 10,000 miserable ref ugees from Santiago—old men, women and children whom the Spaniards permitted to go to our lines to get food. The plight of these people is heartrending. GERMANANeF WATERMELON FEAST Will be Given bv the Log Cabin Club Tonight.

GOING TO ATLANTA Where They Will be Placed in the Government Hospital at Mc- Pherson Barracks. Three 'trains of soldiers who were wounded in the battle of Santiago passed through Macon this morning enroute to the government hospital at Fort (McPher son. About five hundred men were on the trains. The men say that they had a hot time in Cuba, but the gave the Spaniards the worst of it. hTe men were all bandaged up. Some of them had long gashes on their faces made by Spanish bullets. Some had their fingers shot off. Those who were wounded seriously were left at the camp at Santiago, as they were not able to be moved. One of the officers said that the Cubans only laid around the camp and played cards; that when any fighting was being done the Cubans were always in the rear. One of the men who was on the train said that he was with young Hamilton ■Fish when he was killed and that he helped to carry him off the field. He said that young Fish was killed at the first fire. ■ The men are all very cheerful and seemed to make the best of the situation. They did not know of the fighting which was going on at Santiago, and when told that the fleet was bombarding the place they seemed eager for more news. They said that when they left Santia go that three ships of the Spanish fleet were burning and that the Americans were trying to save them. The men arrived at Fort McPherson this morning and were given quarters there. The men say that their train was run into by another train last night some where in Florida, but that no one was hurt. is:a deserter. The Man Captured by Policeman Mack is a Deserter. John A. Zeigler, the man who was ar rested by Patrolman Mack about three weeks ago at the Southern railroad depot for stealing a ride on the train has proved to be a deserter from the United States army. It will be remembered by the people that he was suspicioncd as being a deserter and was turned over to Colonel Ray at Camp Price. Colonel Ray made inquiries about him and found that he had deserted from the Fifth Maryland regiment now at Tampa. A sergeant from company E, of the Fifth Maryland came to Macon after Zeigler last night. The sergeant says that the man’s real name is not Zeigler, but he would not tell what it was. He said that the deserter would be tried and punished by a courtmartial. Patrolman Mack will receive a reward of $25 from the government for the arrest he made. TO ARRANGE A CUBAN MAIL ROUUE. Superintendent Terrell Leaves for Kev West and San tiago. Atlanta, Ga., July 11 —The Constitution publishes the following highly interesting story: Colonel L. M. Terrell, superintendent of the United States railway mail service, of this division, left Atlanta last night for Key West, Fla., from whence he will pro ceed to Santiago de Cuba. Colonel Terrell goes to Key West for the purpose of establishing a line of mail steamers between the United States .and Cuba in order that the soldiers who are invading the island may receive their mail regularly and send it to their homes with out danger of it getting lost in transmis sion. The service to be established by Super intendent Terrell is an extremely impor tant one, which evidenced through the fact that the superintendent of the division is sent to arrange the matter. One steamer is at nresent in course of preparation to begin the service and will be ready to sail for Santiago in the course of the next few days. Colonel Terrell will go on this steamer and make the arrangements for handling the mail at the other end. He stated last night that the mail would probably be very heavy and several steam ers will undoubtedly ply between the United States and Cuba. Colonel Terrell could not state how many steamers would be required, but 4 said a sufficient number would be put into service. As different portions of Cuba are cap tured by the United States army and navy the service between this country and the island will be increased and when Spain withdraws her forces and gives up all claims to Cuba the mall service will be complete and regular. Cuba as well as Porto Rico will be in the division over which Colonel Terrell wir been placed as superintendent and he will have charge of the mail’service to these countries. A line of steamers will be es tablished between the United States and Porto Rico as soon as that place is cap tured. which, from present indications, will be very shortly. Colonel Terrell’s headquarters will re main in Atlanta and he will return to the city as soon as he has completed the ar rangements which he has gone to Cuba to make. The addition of Cuba and Porto Rico to this division very materially en larges it and the work will be considerably heavier. With the enlargement of his field he will necessarily be compelled to employ 4 larger number of men and several have already been appointed to begin the new mail service. Other men will be selected as the service grows and as they are needed. COTTON FUTURES. New York, July 11 —Futures opened dull, sales 2,400.

HIENOUS CHIME INJVARRIOR. Ab Tavlor Attempts to Kill His Wife and Her Father. GOTH SERIOUSLY HURT. Mob is After Taylor and if fCaught Will be Severely Dealt With. Abner Taylor, a young farmer of the Warrior district of this county, attempted to kill his wife and her father, Mr. Louge, late yesterday afternoon. Taylor’s wife left him about two months ago and returned to her father’s home. Yesterday afternoon Taylor went to Mr. Louge’s house and asked his wife to re turn borne with him and she refused. Tayloi it-.same terribly mad at this, and said, cursing as he did,that she wouldhave to go home with him or he would kill her. Mrs. Taylor's father told Taylor that he did not think he would kill any one, and he stepped in front of his daughter. As he did this Taylor shot him. The ball hit him in the forehead and glanced upward, inflicting only a flesh wound. But the shot must have stunned Louge, as he fell to the floor. As he did so Taylor shot him in the thigh making a serious wound. Taylor then turned upon his wife, who had run into the house. He followed her and stabbed her several times in the back, and attempted to cut her throat. After completing his horrible work he left and returned toward home. While going down the road be met two men and told them what he had done. They immediately gave the alarm and a large party started in pursuit of Taylor. It is thought that both Mrs. Taylor and her father will recover, but if Taylor is caught by the mob which is now after him he will be severely dealt with. Taylor comitted his crime not far from where Tom Woolfolk killed nine people. Both of the houses are not far apart. Both Taylor and Louge are well-to-do farmers and are very popular men. Many people gathered at the scene of the crime and the crowd talked as if they would lynch Taylor if he could be caught. Nothing has been heard from the scene of the crime since early this morning, and it is not known yet whether the man has been caught. B. Y. P. 11. Will Hold Christian Rally in Buffalo - Preparations for Large Attendance. Buffalo, N. Y., July 11 —-Young Baptists from every nook ard corner of the United States and Canada will rally here by thousands this week for the eighth inter national convention of the Baptist Young People’s Union of America, which will be be called to order Wednesday morning by the international president, John H. Chap man. of Chicago. Owing to the central lo cation of Buffalo the atendance this year promises to far exceed that at any previ ous gathering of the great organization, while- because of its nearness to the Cana dian border the number of delegates repre senting the Dominion branches will be larger than heretofore. The local committees declare that no convention of the union was ever greeted with more perfect arrangements than that to be held this week. When the Buffalo delegates stood up for their city at Chat tanooga last year and suceeded tn cap turing the ’9B convention out of a long list of hard-working rivals, they promised a demonstration at Buffalo that would be a record breaker, and now that the arrange ments are all completed, their promise is seen to have been no extravagance. The Baptist churches of the city have already on their holiday attire, and the business houses and residences are beginning to buy bunting giving ample indication that the city will be elaborately decorated in honor of the visitors.
