Washington, July 12. Some concern is

PRESIDENT’S OWN REGIMENT.
Some Very Interesting Data About the
Eighth 0. V. I.
Colonel Custls V. Hard, commander of
Eight, the first Ohio regiment to go to
Santiago, is a stockholder and cashier of
the Wooster (O.) National bank.
He was elected colonel of the Eighth O.
N. G. last summer to succeed Colonel Gei
ger, of Alliance, O. He had been an of
, fleer in the regiment for years before that.
His only son, Lieutenant D. J. Hard, is
■ with Troop A, First Ohio volunteer eaval
i ry, at Chickamauga.
Colonel Hard has been a personal
• friend of President McKinley’s for years.
Lieutenant Colonel Dick, of the regi
ment, is well known as the “Major Dick”
of Ohio politics, Mark Hanna’s right bow
er.
The regiment is made up of three com
panies from Canton, one from Akron, one
from Alliance, one from East Liverpool,
one from Mansfield, one from Wooster,
one from Shreve, one from Bucyrus and
one from Wadsworth. They are aboard the
St. Paul on the way South.
■McKinley was always friendly to the
regiment. Its companies turned out to
escort him whenever he visited the towns
in which they were located while he was
governor of Ohio.
The entire regiment turned out several
times when he visited Canton. Two of the
president’s nephew are enlisted men in
its ranks.
THE THIRD GEORGIA
Is Being Rapidly Pushed Trough All the
Stages of Organization.
Camp 'Northern July 13. —The Third
Georgia regiment will be the finest in the
army if the body is equal to the men now
in camp here. There are 400 powerful men
tented in the camp and there is not one
amo gthe number who is not up to the best
of the first two regiments from this state.
The surgeons have been unusually strict
in the physical examination. Nearly 50
per cent of the recruits have been turned
down. This wholesale refusal of patriots
accounts for the slow work in organizing
the regiment. Almost enough men to make
up the command have been examined, but
hundreds have been turned down.
Nine companies are in the camp. The
companies are not full, but a good solid nu
cleus is on hand. The first men for the
other companies are expected today.
Three privates from the First regiment
will be here Thursday. They are Bob
Meador, of Atlanta, and Privates Branch
and Cater. Cater* has been assigned to
Captain Hodges for duty, and he will re
port to his captain at Macon.
The drilling of the recruits is surpris
ingly good. They are well trained military
men and show the advantages of training
and experience.
Seyen recruits from Captain Davies'
company are intoday. They are Edward
B. Howell. Oscar Boek. C. M. Lewis. R. IM.
'McCraine. Arnold Stovall, C. McCalla and
F. M. Iktdd.
Al of these men are from good families.
Howell is a son of Albert Howell, the
Union depot tick, t agent iu Atlanta, and a
nephew of Captain Evan P. Howell. Sto
vall is a son of a wealthy banker of Madi
son. Lewis comes from one of the first
families in New Orleans. Dodd is a Jones
boro boy. and Peak is an Atlantian. Mc-
Craine and McCalla are also Atlantians.
Captain Davies’ company was carried on
a long march this morning. On the reiprp
the men were marched around the streets
of Griffin. The people of Griffin expressed
■great admiration for the excellent compa
ny.

Manila, via Hong Kong, July 13.—The
Insurgents on Wednesday, the 6th, reported
tnat the German gunboat Irene, in Subic
Bay, refused to permit them to attack
the Spaniards on Grande Island.
Admiral Dewey promptly dispatched the
cruisers Raleigh and Concord to investi
gate the matter.
Entering Subic bay the Raleigh opened
fire on the forts, whereupon the Irene
slipped her cable and steamed out by the
other channel. The result of the fire was
that t.*he Spaniards, •numbering 500, sur
rendered everything.
Returning to Manila the Irene explained
that that she interfered in the "cause of
humanity." and offered to hand over to the
Americans the refugees she had on board.
Admiral Dewey declined to accent them.
Governor General Augustini has issued
a proclamation promising to grant auton

INSURGENTS ACTIVE.
Made an Attack on the Spaniards from All
Sides.
Manila, via Hong Kong, July 13 —The
insurgents yesterday made a vigorous at
tack on the Spaniards from all sides with
little result.
They shelled the Spanish blockhouses
and trenches at Manila and captured the
Spanish guns at Santa Mesa.
Ther was a furious musketry fire all
night at San Juan, Santa Ana, Paso and
Pasayi, the Spaniards replying with ar
tillery and musketry.
Four hundred of the native militia of
Santa Ana have joined the insurgents.
The insurgents have rushed the Malate
entrenchments, pushing forward to the
walls of the fort, but had to retire at day
light. The probable loss is 100 men each.
The Americans and Insurgents acting
independently and both are conducting
their own operations and hoping to evolve
an agreement afterwards.

HASTY CABINET MEETING
Called and the Situation is Fully
Discussed, But Information Given
Out Is Meagre.
Washington, July 13—A special meeting
of the cabinet has been hastily called and
was held this afternoon.
Important dispaiches were received and
discussed. They related the appearance
of fever which was feared might prove to
be the dreaded yellow fever among our
forces before Santiago.
It was learned that there are fourteen
suspicious cases of fever among the em
ployes of quartermaster’s department of
the army.
Pending a determination of the exact
character of the fever these men have been
isolated in a valley near Siboney.
While the war counsel is in progress all
the centres of information at the war and
navy department’s were closed against in
quiry.
A number of public men called and to
them the officials conveyed the general im
pression of the military situation, which
stands substantially unchanged, with no

attention for the moment Is being directed
to the health and hygenic conditions of our

cableThTT”
WINSLOW CUT.
A.Valuable Momenta of the
Work Done in Cienfue
gos Harbor,
A small section of the ocean cable sent
by Lieutenant Winslow, of the Nashville,
to a friend in Macon was received here
yesterday by express is one of the most
valuable relics of the war and will for all
time form the basis for the story of one
of the most heroic and sublimely thrilling
incidents of the Cuban campaign.
It is a piece of the cable cut at Cie.n
fuegos by an expedition of sailors from the
Marblehead, Nashville and Windom under
command of Lieutenant C. M. R. iWinslow,
of the Nashville.
The piece of cable received here yester
day is about two inches in diameter and
four inches long. It is made up of twenty
seven steel rods held in a rope of tar and
oakum. In the center of this mass of lead
tube through which runs the copper wire
that forms the cable. The coper wire is
imbedded in rubber which fills up the
leaden tube. This particular section of the
cable weighs a pound and a half. The ex
pedition working in small boats for three
hours under a heavy fire from the Span
iards on shore cut 150 feet from the one
cable connecting Cienfuegps with Havana
and eighty feet from the other cable run
ning to Santiago.
Taken altogether this piece of work
caled for as much true .American pluck as
any other incident of the war that has
called out the praise of the public. The
names of Lieutenant Winslow and his men
are worthy to be enrolled with those of
Hobson and his crew.
For three hours the men in the little
boats worked within sight of the Span
iards on the shore, not more than two
hundred feet from the rifle pits from which
the bullets came unceasingly and the ring
and the angry hiss of the missiles were
continually in their ears.
Two brave men were killed outright and
six were wounded, and among the latter
being Lieutenant "Winslow himself.
Mrs. L. A. Campbell, mother of Mrs. J.
Russell Kennedy, is an old friend of Lieu
tenant Winslow, and as soon as the press
reports told the story of his brave work
and of his wound she wrote to him con
gratulating him on the one and offering
her sympathy for the other. In reply she
received a letter some time ago in which
the lieutenant said that as soon as he re
turned he would send her as a souvenir
a piece of the cable that caused all the
trouble.
It was just i o’clock in the morning
when the small boats wer put off and the
perilous work began, and it was 10:15 a.
m. when the boats were again hauled, with
dead and living heroes, to the decks of the
ships. For nearly three hours those men
worked under the very shadow of death
without flinching. It is said the men in
our navy are untried. That is true. But
this is how they conduct themselves when
the trial conies.
They are veterans without service.

THINKS WAR
NEARLY OVER
■ Senator Bacon Has Returned
After a Session of Hard
Work.
WILL TAKE A REST NOW
Before He Commences the Cam
paign-Views on Hawaii and
the Country’s New Policy.
Senator A. O. Bacon returned from
Washington last night and was at his
office In the Exchange Bank building this
morning.
During the morning he received a num
ber of callers among his friends though
the fact of his arrival was not generally
known.
The senator is looking well*-remarl.fbly I
well considering the strain of work that I
has been on him for the last few months. I
Senator Bacon’s course in the senate has |
been a source of great satisfaction to his
friends throughout the state. No member |
of the senate has taken a more conspictl- j
ous part in the affairs of the country and ;
none have been more prominently on the '
right side of things.
Senator Bacon admits that the strain on '
him has been very heavy. eH has had his
regular duties as a senator to attend to
and in addition a thousand and one mat
ters have called for his attention.
The rush for appointments has been un
precedented and nearly every appointment
from Georgia has come under his personal
observation as well as the hundreds even
thousands of applications for appointments
which it was impossible to grant.
It is more than probable that the senator
will leave in a short time for some place
where he can get a complete rest. The
senatorial campaign is now before him
1 and it will be necessary for him to recruit
to some extent before he goes into it.
Senator Bacon’s position in opposition
to the annexation of Hawaii is well known.
Now that annexation is an accomplished
fact, however, he hesitates to go over the
ground again.
“The question is a very great one,” he
said, “and does not end with the annex
ation of Hawaii. It is a matter calling for
the calm, cool and deliberate consideration
of the people of this country, all of whose
interests are affected by a policy which
has been inaugurated as the outcome of
the present war.
“It is a new policy for this country. It
will change many things and especially
the position heretofore occupied by the
United States. But so big is the question
and so important is the change that I
would not care to attempt to review it in
a short newspaper interview. My views
on the subject were given in part to the
senate in the course of the debate.”
Speaking of the outlook for peace Sen
ator Bacon said that he thought that the
probability was that the war would soon
come to a close.
“I do not mean necessarially that peace
will be declared at once or within a very
short time,” he said, "but I do mean that
Spain will, I think, be compelled to stop
fighting. The destruction of her fleets and
the impossibility of getting supplies and
ammunition to her soldiers on the island
of Cuba will make a speedy close of the
war, that is to say of actice warfare is
inevitable. Os course Spain may decide
to prolong the struggle until there is noth
ing left for her to fight with, but so far
as any real real warfare is concerned the
war is at an end.”
Senator Bacon has been at his post in
Washington for the last seven months and
a half and during the whole of that time
with the exception of a few days when he
was confined to his room by sickness he has
been in his seat in the senate making a
record equal to that of any senator in the
country.

YELLOW JACK
- Has Disappeared and There is
no Immediate Danger.
Washington, July 13.—The surgeon gen-
I eral of the marine hospital service has re
ceived a telegram from Dr. Geddings, in
cnarge of the yellow fever detention camp
at Fountainbleau. informing the surgeon
general that all of the suspects except
those from McHenry, have oeen discharg
ed, saying that he was preparing to close
the camp.
He added a statement that the quaran
tine had been raised against all places ex
cept McHenry.
Discussing the situation, Surgsun Cen
; eral Wyman spoke of the outlojk of im-
I 1 munity from yellow fever in the United
States as encouraging.
"It is hopeful to the extent that at least j
so far as ascertained, there is no fever in ■
the country present.”
He said: “We have made quite a com
plete investigation of the various South
iern states and find them exempt to date
There is encouragement in the fact that
fever developed this season in the places
where the disease was prevalent last year.
Referring to the probabilities Wyman
said that the office is giving careful atten
tion to the conditions in Cuba, with a veiw
to preventing the itnroduction of the
scourge from that island.

AH EXCESS CHARGE
Is What They Hold the One Cent
Tax to be Unless Paid by

position that the requirement by the Wes
tern Ufilon Telegraph Company and the
Southern Express Company that their pa
trons pay the war tax on messages and re

to an exaction of that much in addition to
their usual rates.
These, have been cited to ap

i ’they should not be held to be guilty of
' such exactions in violation of the commis

Where Gan You
Finn Etjual Values?
The only answer is “Nowhere.”
That’s what neighbor tells to
neighbor, what friend says to
friend. We proclaim it boldly,
and combined competition ad
mits it tacitly. The reunion of
Eads and Neel is the inspiration
of Bargains that are record
breakers. Fine Clothing was
never before sold so cheap. An
investigation will convince the
most skeptical of the service
ableness and seasonableness and
stylishness of the goods. The
prices are as we state them in
our advertising. If you pass our
daily announcements you place
yourself in a position to lose
money by not knowing where to
save it.
