AGAINST EFFORTS Os PEACE • Is Thought that People Who Would Prefer to See War Continue Cir culate iFalse Reports W.nbington, July 28. — 1' can be stated on th. authority of the stat- department and th- tor. iter < here that there w< r. no overtur. m on bii.iif of Spain for J,. ;,. <■ or <•< nation ot houil.l'es until the French nulra».i (dor last Tuesday after noon presented the rote to the preaident. Th- statement is made with the f'lll knov. Ii lgr of European denials and must he accepted as that of th. government of the United States; !'.i-refor-!, al) talk about the bad faith shown by our government in pr<s.sing th- Potto Rican campaign during the last few days is absolutely without foiiti.la'ion, and our government has done nothing that can subject it to criticism on this score. In addition to the representatives of the United States government, people qu.llltl- J to -;.ak for the gov tjinert of Spain in Ihi» country make an exactly similar .state ment and Hie allege I (ditrg-s of bad faith against the Unit' I Str attributed to Saga.,la, at. discredited as inventions de r gn.d to prejudice the su< t'S.ful prog ess of the prisent peace mo/.'mentis. It could not be contemplated for a tw in. •; i that any mere , a | exchange of view - l.iwein person in Europe could be could be construed as an overture for peace, and although th: may have been for some this ‘‘back doo I gossip,” It can be affirm, d that the United States govern ment has not been a party to it. \mbaoador (’imlHin has made no over tures. direct or indirect, officii’! or unof ficial. relating to peace or to any phase of peace pr>ar to 3 o’clock c.n Tuesday after noon Even supposing that th >rere have ix.n peace overtur s, which there have not been, the military authorities regard Sa gasta's alleged statement that pt at e over ture.- wire opeiate, to stay the con:.-.' of jiiilit try operations as little short of amaz ing ami directly contrary no. only to the military principles of the United States, but to the whole recognized principles of international law. In general internal law writers agree that military opeta’lons stop only when a trueo oi an armistice is actually concluded and that this armistice must be in writ ing. Until then the mere preliminary overtures towards a suspension of hostil ities is not rogatdid as any warrant for stopping the war. The agreement is binding on military commander, only from the time they re ceiv. actual notice of it. In the meantime military commanders have a right to push foi ward and hold Midi territory as tiny occupy. In the present case an armistice might Tielu.i. or . xi ludc th. Philippine or Porto Rico, as the two parties m ght agree, but uu I they agree there w:»l lie no obligation to abate military opei u ct.s in any field operations. \fter ’he signing of the arm istice preliminary to peace, stato quo is established and all mildry operations come to a halt at points I sigriate I and at points not designated the military opera tions proceed. In th. present case if the truce is general Shafter, Miles and Dewey would simply re tain the positions they now occupy and a moral obligation would be imposed not to strengthen th.se psitions or to make se cret preparations for a more effective con tinuance of the war hereafter. Military authorities agree that the only Qualification for this rule is that reinforce ments may be sent forward and that defen sive but not offensive operations may be continued Under such rules Spain could continue her preparations for defending the eoast of Spain even after the hostili ties hid suspended, and at the same time the United States could send forward re inforcements to Miles and Dewey, but all offensive operations would cease. These well defined rules of military pro ceedure are accepted by all nations. The assertion is attributed to Sagasta that the mere overtures for cessation of hostilities should in itself stop hostilities, is regarded as unaccountable. DEWEY WILL PICK UP VESSELS. He Has Sent Out Cruisers to Gather In a Few Spaniards. New York. July 28—A cablegram from Hong Kong to the Journal says that Admiral Dewey is at Manila and has dis patched the Raleigh and Concord to gather up eleven Spanish craft, which, according to information sent to him by Consul Gen eral Wildman, are at various places In thy Philippine archlpejigo. Among these vessels are gunboats and merchantmen with cargoes of tobacco. The same dispatch is reported that English traders at the coal mines at the Bataa Luzon islands have been imprisoned and subjected to ill-treatment by the Spaniards there. . SOLD THE STORE.

Young admits his guilt and gives as an excuse that he was doing what every oth er commissary of Camp Merritt had been doing all along. TO BRING BACK SHAFTER'S MTN Hit Army Will be Brought to This Country as Soon as Possible, THOUSANDS OF FEVER CASES Gives the Department Much Unea siness-Cases Are, However, Not Yellow Jack. Washington, July 28 —Secretary Alger has given orders for the removal of Shaf ter’s army as soon as the men in the discretion of the commanding officer may he safely brought back to camp on Mon tana Point, L. I. The report from General Shafter show ing that there is a total of 3,770 cases of sickness in the army in Cuba has given the officials at. the war department con siderable concern, but the reports hereto fore made that the yellow fever cases were of a mild type encourages the hope that the death rate will be small. The large number of fever cases re ported, 2,024, shows that not only yellow fever but typhoid and other kinds are numerous. Surgeon General Sternberg says It is the history of yellow fever that it spreads rapidly and having once got started in a eamp is sure to infect many soldiers. Speaking of the other fevers he said that not only in Cuba but in the camps in the United States there had been many cases and it was the history of all new armies that fevers, especially typhoid, became quite common. This is due to the change of climate and the mode of life new to the soldiers. Even where the water was pure cases would arise. The soldiers bought and ate many things not furnished by the commissary such as milk and other things.peddled about the i amps Often this food caused sickness. Another feature he mentioned was the in different care which some of the men took of themselves. TO BE UNDER LEE. Arrival of Troops from Tampa at Jackson ville.

Chicago, July 28 —Forest Euston, of the National Linseed Oil Company, said today: “There is nothing at this time in the affairs or financial condition of the com pany to warrant the reports which have been circulated that the company is going into the hands of a receiver. The company has no past due paper and its losses on the seed market have been largely exaggerated At this date and at the present market prices its quick assets are sufficient to pay its liabilities.’’ WILL bT ACCEPTED BY SPANIARDS. Madrid Newspapers Sa v Terms oi Peace Are All Right.

New York. July 28—Just before the fierce battle at Santiago, in which "Ham’’ Fish. Sergeant Marcus D. Russell and other brave fellows fell, there was a most re markable psychic phenomenon in connec tion with the bloodiest tragedy of the war. Captain Janies Dennison, of Warrens burg. an uncle of of Sergeant Marcus D. Russell, lay on a sick bed. On the Monday following the killing of Sergeant Russell, and before any of the family had obtained tidings of his death. Captain Dennison tossed uneasily. • He awoke at length from a troubled sleep and partly raising himself ou his elbow, Captain Dennison saij to Dr. Gillespie, his attending physician: “Doctor. Mark has been killed. He was coming up over a rise in the ground, fight ing his way with a revolver, when he was met by a small party of Spaniards. He shot the first, second and third Spaniard, but misesd the fourth, while a fifth loaded his gun and shot poor Mark, who died in stantly." After so speaking Captain Dennison fell back on his pillow and soon passed into the unconscious state that had marked his condition for several days. The next day news reached the family that Russell had been killed while fighting Spaniards single handed. That the . tragic killing was re vealed to Captain Dennison in a vision is now generally accepted, Subscribers must pay up and not allow small balances to run over from week to week.

Washington, July 28—A step taken by the postoffice department indicates that the Spanish prisoners at Annapolis possi bly may be permitted to •communicate with S-paln. The letters deposited by prisoners at Annapolis are sent to the dead letter office but inquiry as to what was to be done finally with them was referred to the navy department. The officials at that depart ment expressed the desire that they be submitted in order to be censored and an order has been issued to the dead letter office that the letters be sent to the bu reau of navigation for that purpose.

Wants Men Who Can Bring Recruits Into the Ranks. All sorts of effeorts are being made to fill up the ranks of the Third Georgia Regiment, United States Volunteers, and it begins to apear that if something is not done pretty soon, some of the appointed officers of the regiment will be dropped by the wayside, and other who can bring men with them, be put in their places, says the Savannah News. It is understood that Colonel Candler has issued a letter to every officer conected with the regiment in which he states that the governor and the officers are all exceed ingly anxious to fill up the ranks of the regiment as soon as possible, and all of the officers are directed to go to work and get their quota without, delay. In the event the officers cannot secure a reasonable number of men for the ranks of their companies, Colonel Candler very strongly intimatt that they will be expected to resign so that others who can meet the re quirements can be put in their places. Some of the officers in the regiment have already done their full share, but there are others who have not. The letter, how ever, was addressed to every officer in the regiment, for it containd general instruc tions with regard to the work, as well as to the matter referred to. LIEUTENANT SNEED. A Gallant Soldier and Newspaper Man at New Orleans. New Orleans, July 28. —The body of Lieutenant G. L. Sneed, of the First Lou isiana, who died at Miami of typhoid fever, reached here this morning and was met at the 'train by a large body of citi zens and members of the press. Sneed was assistant city editor of the Times- Democrat and was one of the best known newspaper men in this section. The body was escorted by the batteries of the Lou isiana Field and Washington artillery and the Donaldsvillo Cannoneers, now in the Ft dot al service, to the city hall where i t will lie in state tonight. The remans will be .iken to Scluski, the birthplace of the dead soldier. HARDWOOD FACTORY HERE. Will Get Big Trade From Some of the Farmers. The establishment of a large hard wood factory in the near future is one of the strong probabilities. A South Carolina firm has been looking over the Georgia field for some time and have made propositions to the Chamber of Commerce in Macon that are looked upon with favor by a number of people. It now appears that the choice lies between Macon and Dublin, at which latter place the en terprising people have made good offers in the way of a site and subscription to stock in order to get the factory located there. At a meeting of the Chamber of Com meree Committee on manufacturing held recently the matter was fully discussed and the proposition of the company was con sidered very fair. At that meeting Mr. MeCaw, of the Mc- Caw Manufacturing Company, of Macon, said that his firm paid out every year to outside firms something like $75,000 a year for packages in which their goods were shipped, and thaf they were prepared to place all of their orders with a Macon con cern that was equipped to fill orders on short notice. It is stated that there are several peo ple who are willing to subscribe to the stock of rhe concern in order to get it to come to Macon, and the city council will, in all probability give a site for the loca tion of the plant. The value of the ma chinery of the concern is said to he about $70,000. They propose to take in subscriptions to the amount of about $7,000 and to allow the secretary and treasurer to be a Macon man. Within the next few weeks a decis ion will be reached in the matter. SICK AND WOUNDED tin the Leonago from Santiago On to New York- Washington.

Key West, Fla., July 28.—A search of the prize steamer ißegulus revealed a large quantity of private mail from Americans and Spaniards in Cuba to friends in this country and Spain. These letters tell of a state of terrible suffering and distress, principally in and qround Sagua la Grande, where the Regu lus landed. The cargo consisted of pro visions, all of which was seized bv the Spanish soldiers. Everything eatable sold to fabulous prices. Flour brought $35 a * ek and rice $75. Military authorities "»sed to let private individuals have a six le pound of this cargo, notwithstanding that more than double the above prices were offered. It is estimated that the cargo sold for more than $200,000, and that a more thor ough search of the vessel will reveal this sum of money, which becomes a part ot’ the prize. An examination of ..he log of the steamer shows that it was her purpose when she sailed to take her cargo to the Spanish troops. An agreement was found among her papers, signed by her owners and s he owners of the cargo, whereby the latter pledged themselvs in the event of the seiz ure of the vessel to pay her owners $50,000. Although she is owned by an English firm and sails under an English flag, the prize commissioners say that the evidence goes to show that she is a blockade runner, and as such will, no doubt, beocme a prize of war.

The report says in closing “It appears to, to me that the Bourgogne as a mail steam er starting from New York was mat ,n po sition at the time qf the collision and it is highly desirable that rules of following the sjeam tines should be made more bind ing on all steamers navigating the At lantic when plying between New York Xad European ports.

Books Will Be Opened al Once and Macon People Will Be Asked to Take Hand in Good Work. A meeting of the finance committee from the city council and the mayor was held yesterday and it was decided to act favor ably on the petition of the Macon Carnival Association- to give them a donation from the eity of a thousand dollars to the stock of the association. This is a good start, and the officers of the association are naturally jubilant, as it means the success of the carnival. The finance committee will at once commence the canvass for subscriptions to the stock of the association and as they have al ready a considerable amount of money pledged in large amounts, the stock will be taken up very rapidly. Il is proposed to open the books first to large subscriptions and after these have been taken up to give to give everyone a chance to come in at the smaller amounts. 'Payments for the stock will be divided into installments and an effort will be made to get everyone who can spare the money interested in the undertaking. The outlook now is that something like SIO,OOO will be raised without any difficulty. The railroads are booked to do a hand some share of the financial aid to the carnival, and assurances have already been given that Macon will be given the lowest rate to this carnival that she has ever had for a like undertaking. The car nival will last four days and it is proposed to make every day full of strong attrac tions. This carnival is not to be run on any small scale, but will really be the most ambitious thing of the kind that Macon has ever undertaken. It will take the place of the fairs that have been formerly held here, but will be on a broader and a more liberal scale. In fact It will be a free show. The doors of Macon will be thrown open to her nighbors and everyone will come in for a share of the jollification that will celebrate Macon’s seventy-fifth birthday. DESERVED COMPLIMENT Paid by the Governor to the Head of the Macon Library. The appointment of Mrs. Barbrey, the Macon librarian as a member of the Li brarv commission of the state is a well deserved compliment to a most efficient librarian. .Mrs. Barbrey has given the Macon Li brary good service and this recognition of her worth as a business woman and a good executive head for such institutions is considered an evidence of good judgment on the part of the governor. LOTS OF STAMPS. Deputy Nelson Received a Large Shipment Yesterday. The long expected hevenue stamps have finally arrived.

ARE MME HAPPY Hr MAJOR CURRY Work of Paving Off All the Soldiers at Camp Price Goes Steadily On, M THE M IS DOrtE. All the News from the Camp—Drill Will Take Place this Af ternoon. This is pay day at Camp Price and the men of the Third regiment are handling their first “Uncle Sam dollars.” and the whole regiment is in better and the whole whole regiment is in better spirits. In some cases the spirits get the better of the men, but that was to bo ex pected, and the merchants, saloon men and restaurants keepers have no kick com ing. In fact they are reaching a rich har vest, and for the first time the city is feeling the good effect of the location of the camp here. Major Manly B. Curry, paymaster of the volunteer army and a Macon man, a son in-law of Senator Bacon, has been eent here to pay the regiment off. This will take some days and Colonel Ray says that he hopes to be able to keep the Major here until he has paid the men off for the month of July as well as for the month of June, which is the month they are getting paid for today. Most of the men are two months behind, but as they had drawn a considerable amount in canteen checks, some of them have a very small amont coming to them and they will welcome the additional month’s pay just at this time. The recent rains have made it somewhat uncomfor table for the regiment at the park, but much of thi; discomfort has been avoided by the changing of the streets and the taking of precautions against the wet as far as possible. Notwithstanding all this they are having a sort of Santiago Time and are “jolly under creditable, cir cumstances.” The soldiers are paid off by companies. The companies are marched to the office of the paymaster by their captain, who is paid first, then the lieutenants, sergeants corporals and privates are paid. Each man is required to sign the pay roll when he receives his money. Paymaster Curry said this morning that he intended paying off the men yesterday morning as stated in yesterday’s News, but that the payrolls were not completed until after banking hours and it was impossible for him io secure the money until today. “Trere will probably be $50,000 paid out to this regiment for the two months, al though I will not pay out but $0,500 today. I will complete the payment today and will return to Atlanta and will probaly be sent here to pay off the men for the month of July. Colonel Ray said this morning that he would issue campaign hats to the,men as they were paid off. The new hats will make the regiment show up better, as the brown canvass hats which they now wear are very much out of shape. The captains, sergeants and company clerks were kept busy yesterday making out the pay rolls for the two months. The job is a tedious one and one which all of the officers are glad to complete. The bugle corps is now in shape to sound calls, and one fnan is detailed from the cor;.* each day to act as music an of guard. Seventeen different calls are sounded each day to act ara.rtrahtrahtra sounded each day: The assembly, first call and Hess tie sounded three times each, and it wiil be seen that the musician of the guard has rl 'iny to do. Next week the regiment will be drilled in extended order. In this drill only a few commands are given, the bugle and sig nals being used. This drill is not as inter esting to natch as the othe-s but n » br more important. Only six men are now in the hospital. This shows that sickness is on the decreaee in the camp. The removal of the company streets away from the sinks and away from the pond, which is now the center of the camp grounds, will tend to improve the health of the men. Mosquitos are not so much in evidence as they once were, as the men have sup plied themselves with “mosquito charm” and it seems to drive away the winged tor mentors. The officers will give a hop at camp at an early date. The hop will be in one of the large halls at the camp and the music will be furnished by the regimental band, which is in fine condition. Many ladies are guests during the day of the officers at their mess hall.
