MINES ALL EXPLODED
And the Fleet Can Now Enter the
Harbor at Any Time Six Fine
Steamers as Prizes.
(Copyright* d by Associated Press.)
in the Harbor of Santiago, July 18—- I
Exactly at 9 o’clock this morning the I
Spanish flag was lowered from the stall’ '
crowning the heights upon which battered
Mono Castle spreads half way.
The lowering of this emblem of the de
funct sovereignty of Spain in this part of
th. world was witnessed by a few Spanish
and American troops on the shore anil by
Hie Brooklyn, New York. Vixen and Ve
suvius lying within a few hundred yards
of the harbor entrance.
Almost immediately after the flag was
hauled down steam launches commanded
by Lieutenants Hobson and Palmer en
tered the harbor penetrating as far as the
firing stjwtions of the submarine mines.
Th. e mines are judged to lie not so
formidable as was expected and later in
tiie afternoon they were all exploded under
the supervision of the Vixen.
It was seen that two mines had been
exploded at the'time of the entrance of the
Merrimac into the harbor but it is not
thought probable that either of them had
anything to do with the sinking of the
craft.
Six or seven fine steamers In t'he harbor
fall as prizes.
Soon after noon Commodore Schley with
Captain Cook, of the Brooklyn, Lieutenant
Sears and Lieutenamt Wells and three in
vited correspondents of the Associated
Press went into 'the harbeor on a steam
launch in order to make close observations
of the Spanish forts and batteries.
Everyone expressed satisfaction at the
fact that Morro Castle was not demolished
by the bombardment, Captain Cook saying
"we need Hl Morro as an object bsson and
America is rather shy on ruins anyhow.”
The old font stands of the bluff, (terrace
fashion Prom the waters’ edge to the
brow of the beetling cliff there are huge
caves formed by the action of the waves
and round the base and in the superstrue
tur< are not a few caves made by the navy
projectiles.
It would appear. however, that only one
bastion was knocked to pieces while the
queer little sentry boxes dating back to
the •ixteenth century, escaped almost in
tact.
'Morro Castle is the only imposing for
tification in the harbor and it is only so
in appearance since not one gun is mount
ed within the crumbled walls, in fact all '
the batteries are masked ami dwindled in
their terror-inspiring qualities as the in
spection grew closer.
Crowning the hill on the west side en
trance were the famous six-inch rapid
tire guns from the Spanish cruiser Reina
Mercedes These are ugly looking and
dangerous while below on the brink of the
mountain on the west of the shore en
trance were some catling guns. These were
the ones which poured such a bitter tire
into the Merrimac.
!Hr<etly vast of Morro on the crest of
the eliil were six big guns, one or two of
which are dismounted. The Estrella bat
tery ind a small neighbor further tn show-,
cd no jjuns.
On the inside slope and the hill west
ward wen some hastily constructed but
comforting casemates into which the
Spanish gunners retired when our ships
opened tire.
When the tiring ceased the gunners only
had a f. w steps to elinvo to the six-inch
rapid tire guns
it Punta Gorda there are two four-inch
guns on. above another, neither protected
by even sand or earth. These eommandtd
the harbor entrance pretty well but could
have been silenced by one well-directed
heavy shell.
Commodore Schley has again expressed
a beli.f that our fleet probably could have
entered the harbor without the loss of a
single ship. The mines might have stop
ped ingr< ss by sinking the leading ship
but this is the chance of war and not so
grave as many taken during th* civil
strife nor as serious as would have been
The situation had there been good batteries
properly manned in the harbor.

Waycross, Ga., July 18.—A unique com

The layman has been conspicuous for 'his

SPAIN’S LACK OF
COMPREHENSION
Os Her Impotencv and Pride
Prevents the Making of
Peace Overtures.
Washington, July 18 —The probabilities
of peace are as remote as ever. No move
| In thalt direction has been made by the
foreign officials here and despite thelpi'ti
ful condition of Spain her pride appears
to restrain her from making any direct
overtures.
A cabinet official In speaking of the sit
uation today said kt was amazing than.
‘Spain seemed to lack all conoreht nsion of
her deplorable condition. -Her best fleets
have been wiped out, her hold on the
Philippines is practically at an end. now
she has approved Toral’s surrender of
5,000 square Cuban miles of soil and yet.
he said, Spain seems to take no acount of
her misforftnines and adopt no means to
limit the extent her defeat and losses.
Under such circumstances, he said, the
only thing left for this country to do is
to press on until Spain reaches some com
prehension of her impdtency. It is with
this end in view their efforts are being
taken for further aggressive campaigns.

TEUOW FEVER SUUM
Is Not as Serious as at First Feared
Occupation of Santiago and
Shipping of Spaniards.
Washington, July 18.—With the Santi
ago campaign successfully closed there
was a lull of activity at the war and navy
departments today and the officials ex
pressed the belief that the stirring devel
opments of the last few weeks will now
give way to the details of occupying Santi
ago, shipping the Spanish prisoners to
Spain, coping with the yellow fever situ
ation and the preparations for the next ag
gressive campaign.
No reports from Shafter or Sampson were
received during the early part of the day.
A dispatch was received last night stating
that the entire number of fever cases In
the camp did not exceed 300. This lowered
the estimate one-half from that given in
the press dispatches and was a source of
satisfaction to the authorities.
Colonel Alden, assistant surgeon general,
says that the situation is much less serious
than would appear at first glance, for while
the aggregate of 300 seems large, it is rel
atively small when it is remembered that
there are 25,000 troops at the front.
Surgeon Arthur at New York, has been
given carte blanche to get together at the
earliest, moment a large number of contract
doctors and nurses familiar with fever.
They go to Santiago on the Resolute, which
leaves tomorrow.
The full list of fever patients mainly
as means relieving anxiety will be avail
able in a day or so.

a mild case of fever.

Madrid, noon July 18—-Defense forces are
being actively pushed at all the Spanish

The newspapers here assert “that the
United States intend asking an enormous

It is supposed that the American peace

the opinion expressed among the people is
that war to the death will be preferable

CUSTOM HOUSE
ONTIAGD
Government is Preparing a
Schedule and Will Pro
ceed to Collect.
AS A WAR CONTRIBUTION.
The Old Rates Will Apply at Present
But Will be Collected as Rap
idly as Possible
Washington, July 18—The United States
will take immediate steps to collect the
custom revenues at Santiago as a war con
tribution and it is probable that a
government customs office will be opened
there and be ready for business as early
as tomorrow morning.
This action will be taken pending a final
settlement of. the question of t'he status of
Cuba after the close of the war.
Secretary Gage and Assistant Secretary
Nowell are busily engaged today going
over the custom’s schedules which have
been in force under Spanish rule and it is
expected that a telegram embodying the
principal features of the new schedule will
be sent to Shiafter tonight.
The new rates follow more or less close
ly those hitherto in force in Cuba and will
make no discriminations in favor or
against citizens of any foreign power, in
cluding t'he United States.
Any inconsistencies and excessive levies
however, will be corrected as soon as pos
sible.
Within a dlay or two a customs expert
will be designated to take change of the
details of the work under the general di
rection of the military government of the
surrendered territory as has been done in
the Philippines and as rapidly as possible
printed forms of schedules and record
books will be sent forward.
ATLANTA WILL.
NOT OPEN DOORS
To Yellow Fever Refugees if
It Should Appear in this
Country.
Atlanta, July 18—Atlanta will not throw
open its gates to yellow fever refugees
this year, but will conform to the rules
adopted by the Southern quarantine con
vention which met here last April. This
involves quarantine against all infected
points.
The United States marine hospital ser
vice has begun the contest with Yellow
Jack and has established at the island of
Dry Tortugas, off the Florida keys, a
quarantine station for the» soldiers who
have been exposed to infection. It is pro
posed to carry the wounded farther north
hereafter, but other soldiers returning
from Santiago might bring the yellow fe
ver into this country, and for them the
detention camp on the island of Dry Tor
tugas will be arranged.
The state of Florida has also quaran
tined against soldiers returning from San
tiago, but the United States Marine hos
pital" quarantine system will be likely to
operate on the coast anyhow. It Is also
expected that the Federal quarantine ser
vice will be in force wherever there may
be infection.
The Federal, state and local authorities
are working in harmony this year, and it
is not likely that in the event of yellow
fever in this country there will be any
such interruption of traffic as there was
last year.
Dr. J. F. Alexander, president of the
Atlanta board of health, said this morn
ing:
"The Atlanta board, at its meeting two
weeks ago, adopted the rules formulated
by the Southern quarantine convention.
They provide for effective quarantine
against all infected points, but no whole
sale, shotgun quarantine that will need
lessly stop traffic in wide areas of terri
tory, as the radical measures of last year
did.
"When a town becomes infected, al’l
other points will quarantine against it.
and no one will be allowed to come away,
except through a camp of detention. The
United States Marine hospital service has
adopted the same rules, and local, state
and federal health authorities are in har
mony.”

an important factor in business between
those points. The project failed and the
material which 'was purchased has been

CARNIVAL COMMITTEE
Are Hard at Work Arranging All Minor De

The committee in charge of the arrange

While the original plans for the carnival
have been changed somewhat, as a result
of the war, the genral outline Involves
a tremendous amount of preparation and
leaves room for improvement which will
be added if the war should be over before
the time for holding the carnival.
Each feature is in charge of a separate
committee and these committees are made
up of men who thoroughly 'understand
their business, having handled like feat

The executive committee will hold anoth

will be attended to.
SENSATIONAL
ARREST MADE.
Mr. J. Tom Rodgers is Placed
Under a Five Thousand
Dollar Bond.
The arrest of Mr. J. Tom Rodgers, on the
charge of embezzlement, brought by the
family of his nephew, Mr. John D. Rogers,
of Griffin, has caused no little sensation
throughout the city.
>Mr. Rodgers was guardian for his
nephew, who is the son of Mr. Seymour
Rodgers, who was drowned in New York
state some years ago. The amount of
property involved is something like $6,000
and this amount the nephew' claims his
guardian is unable to make an account
ing for.
The appointment of a receiver for the
property by Judge Littlejbbn. of Atlanta,
was the first step and out of this came the
arrest. Mr. Rodgers is prominently con
nected in the city. It will be remembered
that a short time ago he was tried on the
charge of arson and was triumphantly ac
quitted. He received a considerable
amount of sympathy at the time because of
the alleged persecution in bringing the
charge of arson against him.
The latest proceedings against him has
naturally created even a greater sensa
tion than did the first charge. His friends
and relatives say, however, that he will
very easily clear himself of the charge
which has been brought against him and
that he is in no sense of the word guilty
of embezzlement.
Mr. Rodgers himself denies he charge,
j but will not go into any explanation of it
until the time of the preliminary hearing.
He is now under a bond for $5,000, given
in Judge Balkcom's court.

ROUTED THROUGH MACON
Though Efforts Are Being Made by
Several Places to Change the
Route of the Regiment.
Colonel William Jennings Bryan and his
regiment from Nebraska is expected to ar
rive in (Macon some time tomorrow even
ing, though the exac-f time is not yet
known.
He and his regiment .of unterrified Ne
braskans will leave Omaha today for Jack
sonville, Fla This is according to t'he tel
egraph! ■ ri'enatches received by the Cen
tral t There ane 1.300 officers
and men in the regiment, and it will take
three long trains to transport them.
There will be a freight train, loaded with
horses and baggage, in addition. The Cen
tral takes charge of the regiment at At
lanta and carries it to Albany. It is pos
sible, though, that an effort may ,be made
to change the route and carry the regi
ment to Savannah and over the Plant sys
tem to Florida.
The route taken to Atlanta will embrace
Nashville and Chattanooga. It is under
stood that at both of those cities, as well
as at Macon, the people will arramge to
have great demonstrations in honor of
Colonel Bryan and his regiment. At all
three places it is probable that there will
be a speech by the “silver-tongued orator
of the Platite. It is needless to say there
would be a demonstration here of propor
tions quite complimentary to the recent
standard-bearer of the 'Democracy.
It was but a short while since thait
Colonel Bryan spoke to an audience here.
Then he was in plain citizens clothes. The
people honored him for what he 'had been
to them as the leader of the Democratic
party, though he failed as presidenitial
candidate. If it should happen that his
regiment came this way there would be
no getting in blocks of the station as the
train pulled through.
Should they come through in the ‘ day
'time he will be given an enthusiastic re
ception by 'his admirers, politically and
every other way in the city, arrangements
for the reception having been made.
The railroads ’have been notified of the
coming of the regiment, but they are una
ble to say when it may come, as it is on
a special train and the schedule is depen
dant upon the trafic of the lines.

AUGUST
Not only signals the
period of time known as midsummer, but is
distinctive for being the day that marks the
alliance between Eads and Neel.
Meanwhile at either store it is possible for
you to secure values that excite wonderment.
The prime object of retailing with us now is
recognized to be that of reducing the amount
of stock. We’re not seeking profit. Per contra,
we are not calculating upon a realization of cost.
But there exists a very potent reason for our
remarkably low prices, and it is clearly discern
ible to those who have sound wisdom and judg
ment.
Our goods at original prices always attract
ed attention because they are worthy from every
standpoint. It is easy to understand that the
soon-to-be consolidation alone has influenced the
present sacrifices on our part, and that nothing
short of this could have done so.
