Gen Man.. 356 Second Street, Macon, Ga. ESTABLISHED 1884 HOBSON WAS FIRST MAN TO PASS UNDER MOBRO Where the American Flag Was Hoisted at 9 O'Clock Over the Moss Grown Battlements of the Old Fort at Santiago. NOT lOBMIDABIF. Full Description of tne De fenses at the Harbor as Inspected bv Schley 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.

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. MELON THIEF CAUGHT. John Gibson Seriously Wounded bv a Shot from Mr. George Dillon.

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.

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.” CAMP MINSTRELS Will Positively Give Their First Performance Tomorrow Night.

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.

BIG WELCOME FOR COL, BRWN He Left Nebraska Todav With ’ His Full Regiment of Nebraskans. 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.
