Instructions of the most positive nature have been cabled to Sampson to supply the neci ssary convoys, but notwithstanding the instructions Sampson has proceeded with the preparations for the expedition with a deliberation that is exasperating. The president is much concerned lest that part of the I’orto Rican expedition whli h has already sailed from this country should arrive at the point of rendezvous in advance of Miles and the navy. It is feartyl that General Wilson’s com mand. which sailed yesterday from Charleston should arrive in advance of Allies and the convoys serious danger and possible di aster might result, as V’llson's whips are absolutely without prot .ption. The president this morning issued per sonal orders to Sampson that the p v o 2" d Imedlately to OPrto Rico with General Allies. STAY IN CUBA. Shafter’s Troops Will Not be Sent to JPorto Rico.

It is infected that General Shafter shall remain in Santiago until the Spanish pris oners shall have been deported. Mean while an army officer will be appointed to administer the military government in each town of the surrendered 'territory. The plan contemplates the camping of the forces on the high hills in the vicinWy oif Santiago for a good rest, after which an active campaign will be begun, the ob ject being to take any important points within easy reach of Santiago. Road re pairing, the re-establishment of railroad, communication, and the making -of new" bases of ■supplies, is said to be a part of the campaign. By this means the troops will become gradually inured to the cli mate. As the season advances, it is proposed to have the men gradually move to 'the west ward toward Havana, changing their camps and keeping in the high ground as much as possible. The type of yellow fever now prevailing in (Santiago is mild, and in some cases, some stricken with it have so thoroughly recovered as to be able to return to their active duties. On the whole, it is said to effect the officers and men less seriously than the prevalent malarial fever. By the time the cooler season arrives Uhe troops will be in a position to push active oper ations against Havana. PRORPEROUS COCHRAN Is to Havs a Telephone Exchange in the Near Future.

MACON NEWS THURSDAY JULY 21 1898. WILL HOLD PUERTO HICO Definitely Settled That It is to be a United States Possession. AS PART OF THE INDEMNITY The Flag Once Hoisted at San Juan Will Never Again be Lowered, W ington, July 21—The authoritative statement was made today that the island of Po; to Rico will be held as a permanent possession in this country as the price of war. The subjoined is .practically the official statement made to the (Associated Press: "Porto Rico will be kept by the United States .That is settled and has been the plan from the first. Once taken it will never be returned. It will pass forever into the hands of the United States and there has never been any other thought. "Its possession will go toward making up the heavy expense of the war to the United States. "Our flag once run run up there it will float over the island permanently.” The same authority says the future of the Philippines is a matter of develop ment and that so far there is no certain policy finally adopted regarding these is lands they are subject to the developments in the war situation in pacific. It is esti mated, however, though not definitely as serted, that the Ladrone islands might follow the fate of Porto Rico and become our permanent possession. spanishTnoble IN ONE ARMY. He is a Color Sergeant of the First Illinois Regiment at Chickamauga. Gamp Thomas, Chickamauga, July 21. — A Spanish nobleman in the American army is a rare bird, and yet that is the fact at Chickamauga camp. The color sergeant, of the First Illinois cavalry is Alexander 'B'atten, about forty five years of age, a Spanish descendant and a man who has achieved considerable re nown in war during his career. It seems that Batten is decidedly unfriendly toward his native country on account of his father, a Spanish count, having been exiled for his republican ideas, and the son is lending his strong right arm and his influence to ward wiping out the insult to his proud and wealthy family. Sergeant (Batten has been a citizen of America about eight years. 'He was born in Ecuador, and after reaching young man hood he served a number of years in the consular service, being the representative of Ecuador in San Francisco and other countries than the United States. During the Peru-Chilian war in 1882-84 he was aide-de-camp on the staff of General Te ran, and was engaged in several battles, receiving wounds, the scars as whim he carries to this day. Several months ago Batten was en route home to Ecuador to take possession of a •large inheritance left by his father, who had just died, when the call for American volunteers was made, and with the spirit of a true soldier and the natural love of •liberty, he presented himself to the proper officials in Chicago and enlisted under the stars and stripes, being made color ser geant, as stated, of the Illinois Flrct caval ry. Although now possessed of a title and much property, he does not allow this to interfere wih his duties and has the reputation o.f being one of the best men in his regiment. He Is naturally an object of great Interest to all who know his inter esting story. SHELL BURST. No Flash Seen, No Report Heard, No One Hurt—A Mystery. Washington, July 21. —An official report received at the navy department today, through Admiral Sampson, tells of a startling occurrence on board the Indiana during the recent campaign against Santia go. Late one night when no firing was going on a shell dropped on the spar deck of the Indana and burst without warning. It came like the probial thunderbolt. No flash was seen and no report was heard. The explosion destroyed the ceiling of sev eral state rooms, but nobody was wounded. Whence the shell came is a mystery. The official report says that it was an 8% inch mortar shell. The Spaniards used no mor tars and none of such large calibre was ta ken to Santiago by General Shafter, more’troops AT MANILA. The Second Fleet of Trans ports Has Arrived at Manila.

CONDITION NOT FAVORABLE. They Need a Rest of a Month or More Among the Mountains of North Carolina or Maine. Santiago, via Kingston, July 21—'Shafter has opened a cable office .here and is in communication with Washington regard ing the disposition of the Fifth army corps which consists of those troops which came with him from Tampa and the re inforcement for the transports which have since been located. Except the Ttoiirty third and part of the Thirty-fourth Mich igan. None of the latter have been in ac tion. General McKibben seems to have held to the opinion that the Fifth corps could join the Porto ißieo expedition under (Miles as son as the invading army left the United States, tout the condition of the men now is such that the entire corps should return North at once. Mlles has cabled that he does not want aid and will not need a single man among them and believes that after their hard campaign they should be given a rest. Shafter’s message to the same effect has been most urgent and the doctors say the men should be given a rest of at least two or three weeks. The doctors say the men should be sent into camp in the mountains of North Caro lina or of Western Maine for a month. Washington agrees to this but there is a lack of transports. HUNGRY HORDE Are the Spanish Sailor Prisoners at IPorts mouth. Washington, July 21. —‘Colonel Charles Heywood, commander of the 'Marine corps, has returned from Seavey’s Island, Me., where the captive Spaniards of Cervera’s fleet are located. “I never saw a hungrier set of men,” said the colonel. “The .first night they consumed a whole day’s rations. It re quired about half a ton of beef, four boil ers of coffee, a thousand loaves of bread and lots of potatoes for that supper, which was probably the first square meal they had eaten for months.” More than 200 marines are now on duty there keeping the Spaniards in bounds. It costs the government about $5,000 for ra tions for rations per day. Coloney Hey wood thinks it would be. a wise policy for the government to send these Spanish sail ors back to Spain. SAN JUAN LIFE OF REVELRY. Lull Before the Coming Storm of American Shot and Shell. San Juan, Puerto Ki co, July 17 —The so cial life of San Juan, the capital of Porto Rico, presents some charming character istics. In the center of the city is the grand pllaza. When.'the music begins, at S in the evening, out from their prison dwellings troop the fair ladies of San Juan. Some are blonde, most are 'brunette. All, as seen in the dim light of the flickering lamps, seem beautiful. They are bare headed; all carry .flans, which reminds one of the flicker of butterflies’ wings as they flit and start, half opening and shutting, as if about balancing themselves on 5 bank of flowers. They wear the graceful mantilla, which often hangs across their bare shoulders in stead of adorning their night-black tresses. The ladies flock by themselves mostly, or, if they have male escorts, are invariably accompanied by ia duenna, who was young so long ago that she has forgotten all about it and keeps sharpest watch over her charge. Two hours thus they revel in the music of the band, and when the musicians have started for their barracks with that light swinging pace peculiar to the Spanish infantry, then the fair seno ritas and the less attractive duennas re turn with ill-concealed disappointment to the seclusion of their dwellings. The men disperse to the cases to gossip and smoke. This the men do every night, band concert or no band concert; but the ladies do not emerge again until the next “retreta,” or perchance to go shopping some fo;<.ioon under serveillance. In the country districts the social regu lations are not so rigid. The simple maid ens of the country regions dance all night to the harslh music of a great gourd rub bed with a stick, to which penetrating noise, which sounds something like the sharpening of a knife on a stone, they gracefully glide through the longuid mazes of the Spanish “valsas.” SPAIN STRIPPED. Peace Can Only be Obtained Through Force of Arms. Washington, July 21—Senator Warren, of Wyoming, who has lately had a number of conversations with the highest govern ment officials, has reached the couclusion that, as a result of the war, Spain will be deprived of practically every colony now in her possession. “Call it imperialism if you will,” said the senator, “but this country will be compelled now to push its conquests, and there is no reason why the United States should not reap the benefits that will be derived in a commercial sense from -th* expulsion of Spain from some of the most* valuable islands in Che world.” Representative Burton, of Cleveland, thinks that political considerations in Spain will prevent the powers that be in that country from trying to bring about an early peace. The same considerations brought on the war, and Burton sees no way of ending it at an early day except through force of arms. ATTENTION!
