Owing to the summer Inal and the rap idly aging veterans, the hour for the int rude has been fix. d at 5 o'clock and the route to be traversed very short.

Gordon will once more ride at tint bead of his mon. The governor, mayor, committees of the legislature and ci-iv council will review the parade from stands erected in different’ places along the line of march. General Gordon presided at the meeting of veterans in the auditorium. He intro duced Winnie, Mrs. Davis and the vete rans gave iter a great ovation. A resolution was passed condemning the expression "war of rebellion” and ex pressed the desire that the contest at arms be known as "the civil war between states.” It was unanimously decided that the time for holding the annual reunions be not changed and consequently the encamp ments will continue to he held in July. The selection of the place of the next encampment was the special order for 11 o'clock, but it was long after the noon hour before Chairman Gordon announced that the selection of the next meeting place was next on the program. Tlie delegates from the states fighting for the reunion put in a busy morning among the brethren in the auditorium yet when Ihe convention was called to order neither had the assurance that they would be victorious. Charleston's friends claim, .however, that the assurance given them last night by the delegates from most of the states is sufficient for them .to base great hopes on, yet they fear the final result. Baltimon has pra./tically dropped out of the race and the Louisville delegation made a strong fight for their vote with but indifferent success. 'Each delegation ha- veral speakers who presented Ohe claims of their respective cities for the encampment. SPANISH PRISONERS Did Not Escape from fort McPherson, Ma jor Bubb Says.

It says: "After three months heroic defense .'.nd many bloody combate, owing to the scarci ty of ammunition and victuals, the garri son at Santiago has been ordered to capit ulate under honorable conditions and with all the honors of war. "Notwithstanding the fact that reinforce ments were possible an A. although he could receive such from Manzanillo, and although he should still cover further losses and bloody combats, and although he might put the city in a better condition of de fence. Toral was still face to face with the fact that reinforcements would only make furtli. r inroads, upon the already greatly consumed and nearly exhausted store of provisions. "The occupation of Santiago by the Americans is larking in strategic impor tance owing to the fact that the city has been dost ly blockaded for a long time by the American ships, and will have litt’e or no effect on the future of the campaign. "The Spanish army is intact and eager for glory. This army is sure to be tri umphant and victorious at last in spite of many dangers and impediments and it will show once more the indomitable Spanish character and well known military talents of our people.” There will be another rush Saturday for shoes at the fire Sale.

July 22—The statement made by Gamazo, the Spanish minister of puiblje instruction, to the effect that peace hon orable to tihe Spanish army will shortly be concluded, is regarded in London more as an indication of personal opinion or hope than reflecting any general decision □ ft he cabinet. Nothing showing any move in the direc tion of peace has been received here from any quarter likely to -be iwell informed on the subject. The Spanish ambassador, Count Rascon, who was questioned on the subject said: "We have no news from Madrid and we have no reason to believe any such de cided steps have 'been taken as Senor Gamazo’s statement would indicate.

Abingdon, 111., July 22—During the trial of a case -in Justice Sampson’s court yes terday, Edward .Bohanan, the lawyer for the defense, called the judge a liar.

Well Known Hotel Man Shot by One of His « Guests. A special from Asheville, N. C., gives a meagre account of the killing of R. W. Taylor, proprietor at the Oaks Hotel, at that place, Tuesday night. It appears that the clerk and a guest by the name of John Corey, of Decatur, 111., became involved in a dispute over a-bill with Taylor. The latter became angered and a fight ensued in which Corey drew his pistol and shot Taylor, killing him instantly. “Wink” Taylor was one of the best known hotel keepers in the country, and n any 1 < 01 le in this citv knew his as a ge nial and jovial host, with an inexhautibie fund of good humor. He was very popu lar and in conducting hotels at different resorts, in Georgia he was quite successful and made many friends who will regret to hear of his tragic death. HOBSON REACHES NEW YORK CITY. He is Recognized by the Crowd and Given Great Reception. New York, July Hobson, who took the (Merrimac into the channel Os Santiago, arrived today on the United States cruiser St. Paul and proceeded at once to Washington byway of the Penn sylvania railroad. It is possible that Hobson is the bearer of Sampson's report of the naval engage ment off Santiago. When Hobson left the ferry boat at the foot of Whitehall street it took but a few moments to learn his identity and a crowd gathered and cheered him. There will be another rush Saturday for shoes at the Fire Sale, Come early. THE MACOIV NEWS. GENERAL WOOD MADE GOVERNOR He Has Taken Charge of San tiago in Place of General McKibbin. GARCIA TRIES TO DISBAND The Cuban Forces and His General Action is Inexplicable to the Americans at Santiago. Playa, July 21, (delayed in transmission) —General Wood, of t.he Rough Riders, was appointed military governor of Santiago yesterday, succeeding General McKibbin, who returns to his old duty and who is on the sick list. Squads of natives were sent today to clean the streets and bury the dogs and horses whose re-mains have (been lying in the streets for days and weeks. Other steps to better the condition of the city are ‘be ing taken. Notwithstanding General Garcia’s com plaint that he has ignored and the restor ation of Spanish civil authority in the city of Santiago is most offensive to him and that in consequence of all this he has been forced to tender his resignation as a gen eral in the 'Cuban army, 'he is going on with preparations -for a contest with the Spanish forces of Holguin and Manzanillo. Tomorrow Garcia will issue a decree au thorizing all the Cubans who have been driven from the plantations and country homes by the Spaniards and who have taken refuge for safety in the cities and towns to return to the country and go to work on the farms and plantations assur ing them of protection. Garica’s attitude is inexplicable. He has given .permission to the men in the ranks to go back to work on the farms and this construed mean an effort to disband his forces, 'but this may not (be altogether justified. It is certain that a great many of them will continue to fight. ABOUT SAMPSON. Something About the Child Life of the Rear Admiral. , Washington, July 22.—The many women who make child study their work, may be interested to know of the early environ ments and training that fell to the lot of Admiral Sampson, as delineated by a friend of his family. “A veritable Spartan mother was Han nah Walker Sampson,” says this friend, “and none of her eight children were spoil ed by petting or coddling, for she never gave them any. She came of old Scotch-Irish stock. She had ideas about the way in which children particularly boys—ought to be brought up, and her ideas were a good many miles away from the Litle Lord Fauntleroy school. “Mrs. Sampson was of the small, wiry type of woman who always have an inex haustible stock of energy. The keen alert ness of her face was tempered by the sweetest expression and a rarely winning smile. The brow was higher and broader than one often sees on a woman, and the bright eyes looked out sharply and merrily beneath it—veritable Irish eyes they were with their fun-loving twinkle. The mouth was and the chin was of the type that can and always does crush obstacles. “Mrs. Sampson was a devoted mother to all her children. It was due to her that Will became the best mathematical schol ar in Palmyra school, and she it was who gave the word that sent him to Annapolis. Her husband objected to the appointment. Mrs. Sampson said to him: “Let us show the world that we have one son who is able to do more than carry a saw-buck.” “That settled it. Next day William be gan to prepare for Annapolis. It was the hope of Mrs. Sampson’s life that she might live to see her son an admiral, but she died about 1892.” three~regiments GONE TO NEWPORT.

SCOVEL MAY BE SHOT BY SHAFTER The Correspondent of the New York World is Un der a Heavy Guard. SLAPPED SHAFTER'S FACE Because He Was Not Allowed by the Guards to be Present as a Commissioner at Santiago. Washington, July 22. —General Shafter has notified the war department of the dis graceful conduct of Sylvester Scovei, the New York World correspondent, who elap ped his face during the ceremony incident to the occupation of the governor's palace in Santiago and the raising of the United Slates flag over the capitulated city, but it is believed here that me dispatch publish ed in the New York Herald is reliable. Assistant Judge Advocate General Morri son says the offense is a most serious one anil that it is punishable by death. According to the report, Scovei was ar rested and is now in custody. The method of procedure is the appoint ment of a military court by General Saaf ter. According to information obtainable here Scovei attempted to make himself a part of the commission assigned to raise Old Glory at Santago. The guards forced him to retire. This so angered him that he pushed h's way through the crowd to General Shaf ter’s side and insulting ly slapped h : s face. The general was ignorant of Scovel’s treatment at the hands of his soldiers, and was at a loss to know the cause of his con duct. He ordered the correspondent arrested, however, and the latter is now said to be in a strongly protected guardhouse. General Morrison, speaking of the legal phase of the matter, sail that there was not a similar case in the history of the American army and there was no prece dent to go by, but that there was law suf ficient to cover the offense. Scovel’s fate rests entirely in Shafter’s hands so long as he is within his jurisdic tion. The eourtmartial can sentence Scovei to be shot. BENEFITEXCURSION TOWARM SPRINGS.

FATHER IS MAD. And Charges Herndon With Whipping His Son. Mr. G. R. Herndon was arrested yester day on a warrant sworn out by Richard Green for assault and battery.

The case will be tried in the city court. MUCH FIGHTING STILL REMAINS To be Done Before Havana is Taken, Think Some Congressmen. Washingon, July 22. —Few of the con gressmen still in Washington believe that an early termination of the war is po .si ble. Senator Mcßride, of Oregon, does not be lieve the present is the time to talk of peace. “What we want to talk about,” he says, "is the vigorous prosecution of the war. The surest way to secure peace is to dismiss all thought of anything but how to make Spain feel the power of our arms.” Senator Cockrell, of Missouri, says: “I am heartily in favor of prosecuting the war to the end, and am against peace now. We must whip Spain thoroughly before we can accomplish the purpose we have in view, and any talk of peace now tends to pro long the war by encouraging delay. I shall be one. when the war shall terminate, who will insist that we make our terms with Spain, and tolerate no interference from foreign powers.” SELLING DATES OF TICKETS.

Va„ July 22 —An army officer of wide experience and intimate knowledge of the Cubans made the startling predic tion last nigbt that “within two weeks we shall be fighting the Cubans.” He further said: “The Cubans are al ready dissatisfied with American methods.

FINE M OF MEN, Their Colonel Will Not Talk Politics or Criticise the Government — They Liked Macon. Colonel William Jennings Bryan's regi ment passed through the city yesterday in six sections. Theh first section came in at 2 o’clock and the last at 6:30. The first three sections which came in were stopped at the foot of Pine street, where the men formed battalions and drill ed for about ten minutes. The Nebraskans put up an ( x • ’lent drill, which showed that they bud been hard at work whiU in camp. As each train came fnto the city the men espied the brewery and as soon as the train stopped made for it with all possible speed. The manager turned the brewery over to the bo/s, giving them as much beer to drink as they wished and also fill ing their canteens. Tbe men all seemed pleased with Ma con s hospitality and one of the men said: This is the best town I have ever seen. They give you all the beer that you want. All of the other breweries along the line have been making us pay for the beer. I am stuck on Macon and wish that our regiment could be stationed here.” Colonel Bryan's train came into the city at 6:30. His train was the last section to arrive, as he was detained in Atlanta for some time. As soon as his train stopped a News reporter entered the Pullman, where he was given a warm welcome. He presented the colonel with a copy of The News and explained to him that the crowd which had assembled to meet him had heard that his train would not arrive until 8 o’clock. The colonel was asked how many men he had in his regiment “I have 1,300 men in my regiment of all nationalities and of -all trades: It is one of the finest volunteer regiments in tho army, and I will venture the assertion that there is not a better drilled regiment of volunteers in the country. “My men have only been in camp six weeks and are in splendid shape. I have an able corps of officers and it is entirely through their efforts that the men are bo well disciplined.” He was asked if he thought that he would be nominated nfor the presidency in 1900, he replied: “I am a soldier now, and while the inter ests of the Democratic party are always on my mind, I have no time now to think of them, yet if I were nominated I would do all in my power to lead the party to victory. I cannot talk politics at present. I am on my way to join General Lee.” “Colonel Bryan was asked if he did not think that the government officials thought that he and General Lee were becoming too prominent and were sending them to Jacksonville to put them where they would not be called into service. “I cannot answer that question,” he said. “Officers, in time of war, are uni. allowed to criticise the government offiic’als.” When asked if he though the war was near and end. Colonel Bryan said: ‘‘l am unable to say, but I hope not. as I wish to see my men get into battle.” The conversation was interrupted by the train moving and as The News reporter had lost nothing at Jacksonville, he deci ded that it was best to get off. Colonel Bryan’s regiment is the best looking set of men ever seen in Macon. The regiment was composed of 1,300 men, and the surgeons said yesterday that only the best specimens of manhood were taken Every man in the regiment has the' ut most confidence in their colonel, and he seems to think of nothing else but the com fort of his men. Yesterday was the first time a majority of the men have ever been South, and they seemed very much interested in the coun try. Watermelons and peaches sold rap idly at the train yesterday. Some had never seen watermelons before and were greatly delighted with them. Captain Cross said to a News reporter yesterday that it was warmer in Nebraska than in Macon. On being told that the regiment would be camped in the sand at Jacksonville, he said: “Aain’t you exaggerating a little. Some of the men have never seen sand like you have in this country and I don’t know what they will do.” Many of the officers came up in town and got dinner, while other went over the city on the cars. The regiment was well pleased with Ma con. and many of them said they wanted to stop here on their return, if they ever came back this way. BLOWN~UP Was Brooklyn Bridge in a Correspondent’s Mind. New York, July 22 —A Berlin dispatch to the New York Staats Zeitung says: “F. K ." as he signs himself, the correspond ent of the “Muenchener Neuseston Nach- Fichten,” the most prominent newspaper of Munich, Bavaria, cables to his paper from New York that, in consequence of the Spanish-American war, the “celebra ted monster bridge,” which connect's New York with its “suburb of Brooklyn,” has been dynamited. The Staats Zeitung thus appropriately comments on this comical cable; It is too bad that “F. K.” does not mention wheth er the bridge was blown up to prevent “Camara’s armada” from anchoring near Coney Island, or to what similar appre hension the dynamite might have beea due. • ATTENTION!
