MOMENTOUS MEETING.
CABINET CONSIDERS
PRESIDENT’S POLICY.
One of the Most Important Gatherings of the Council of the
Nation Went Into Session at the White House This
Morning to Consider Our Answer to Spain,
IMPERIALISM
The Question as to Whether
this Country Will Reach
Out for Eastern Pos
sessions,
WILL IE DECIDED TODAY,
Most of the Ministers Think that
Peace Will Follow Negotiations
Answer Will Be Handed
to Ambassador Gam
bon in Person —
Spain’s Next
Move.
Washington, .Inly 29 Interest is focus
sed this morning in the approaching cab
inet meeting
It is the general expectation that in re
sults this meeting of the cabinet would
prove to be the most important that has
been held, not only during the present,
but many preceding administrations.
Upon the nature of the answer to the
Spanish overture for peace would depend i
the whole future policy of the United j
States, for it would determine whcthcrthc
nation shall now embark upon a policy of ■
world wide expansion or shall more cau
tiously content itself with expelling the
Spanish flag from the western hemisphere,
while at the same time providing what
may be an ample guarantee for the ex
tension of our trade in the east.
Ml this means in substance that in the
best Judgment of close observers here the
one critical point is the future of the
Philippines.
\s near as can 'be ascertained from per
sonal inquiry a clear majority of the cab
inet is disposed to be content with the re
quirement of the coaling station | the
Philippines allowing Spain to retain the
remainder of the group.
However it may be staled within the
last forty eight hours the president has
confined his confidences closely to the
secretary of state so that the remaining
members of the cabinet entered the White
House today with their minds in a recep
tive condition as to any arguments that
might 'be presented upon this important
proposition.
In connection with the peace negotia- I
tions some significance is attached to the
fact -that members of the war board con
ferred with Secretary Long in his office
just before that official left for the cabinet
meeting.
While the confer, net s are frequent there
is a disposition to regard this particular
one as having a bearing on the present
negotiations, as Captain Mahan and the
other naval siragetists composing this
board will be able to give valuable advice
on the strategic value and necessity of a
coaling station in the Philippines, the
Igidrom s ami other points on the highway
to the orient.
Secretary Day has a clear idea now as to
■what he desires and when he left the state,
department today for the White .House he
had his views outlined and ready for sub
mission to the cabinet in documentary
form.
it may tie that the secretary's presenta
tion of the case will be so clear and con
clusive as to induce the' remainder of the
cabinet to assent at once to the program
he outlined, in which ease it will be en
tirely possible to return an answer to the
Spanish government within the course of
the day.
The president has not. so far as can be
learned, changed in any degree his dispo
sition to take the' American people into
his confidence in dealing with this most
difficult and delicate subject and about the
only restraint imposed upon publicity at
this stage js caused by the observance of
the amenities of a diplomatic exchange.
Thus it will b«' necessary to communicate
to the French ambassador the decision of
the administration before it / & made
known to the American public. This is a
rigid requirement of diplomatic courtesy.
To fail in this apparently trivial point
would be to invite remonstrance that
might end in a se-ous interruption of ne
gotiations.
It is said that the government’s response
will be handed to M Gambon whence it
may fairly be inferred that the ambassa
dor is to call in person for it at the White
House as soon a* he is notified that the
answer is ready.
in event of its being sent to hjm or
handed to him it will be in the nature of
a finality and there will be nothing re
maining for the ambassador to do but to
forward the communication to Madrid if
on the other hand he is invited to the
White House to receive the communica
tion it opens up the possibility for a con
ference between the president and the am
bassador which may carry forward the
subject considerably beyond the point spe
cified in the answer of he United States
government.
It is probable that the action of the
1 government will be restricted simply to
I handing the answer to Ihe ambassador af
t< r which without further discussion, elab-
I oration or explanation it will be for Spain
I to make the next move.
Up to today the Spanish government has
I given no intimation whatever as to its at
| titud. or purposes beyond the original
I piopo-ition submitted last Tuesday, though
I many public men say the administration
fully expects peace to result from the an
swer.
Our answer will make wo mention of a
money indemnity Neither will there be
any armistice at all.
The answer will be in the nature of an
ultimatum and if Spain does not accept,
it will fare worse in the future.
The note from Spain, it is said, was a
very adroit and equivocal document from
reading which one would think the only
question involved was Cuba.
Apparently Spain might not really have
intended getting a direct answer from the
United States but only to open diplomatic
correspondence. This government will not
have any such correspondence, but will
make a straightforward statement of its
present peace terms for Spain’s acceptance
or rejection, naming the conditions that
under the circumstances are reasonable
and even generous.
The cabinet adjourned at 1:30 o’clock to
meet again at 3:30.
COMMUNICATION
IS NOT DIRECT.
Signal Service Unable to Lay
Wires Direct to Porto
Rico.
Washington, July 29.—The change of the
’ base of the operations for the Porto Rico
j expedition resulted in a complete rearr
i range ment of the plans of the -signal ser
vice for the campaign.
i ' )e no cable connection made'
with our army at Guancia as would have
been the ease had the original landing
place been taken. The war balloons in
stead of being expedited will be held at
Tampa pending further developments. All
efforts to establish a cable service 'have
been abandoned, as the nearest point at
which the new spur could touch an exist
ing cable js said to be San Domingo, 100
miles away. In the meantime the army is
now somewhere between Yauco and Ponce
and lacks the advantage of direct and im
mediate communication with Washington.
PONCE SURRENDERS
And the Americans Were Welcomed to the
City With Enthnsiasm.
St. Thomas, July 29.—The port of Ponce
on the Island of Porto Rico, surrendered
to Commander Davis, of the auxiliary
gun’boat Dixie on Wednesday.
There were no resistance and the Amer
icans were welcomed with enthusiasm.
The capitulation of Ponce took place on
Thursday afternoon.

• Siboney, July 26, via Playa Del Es-te.
I July 27. —Major Lagarde, who is in charge
I of the hospital litre, has made an experi
ment with the arms used on both sides in
the fights that have taken place between
the Spanish ami American troops around
, Santiago, with this result.
The bullets of the Mauser rifle of the
I 1895 pattern penetrated 32 L> inches of yel
i low pitch pine; the 'Mauser of 1896, 32.54
i inches and that of 1897. 35.152 inches. The
Krag-Jorgensen of 1898 penetrated
through 26.125, and the Springfield rifle
could only send a bullet six inches through
the same wood. This explains some of the
I terrible effects of the Spanish bullets.
The new graveyard at Siboney has been
! opened by Chaplain Oavitt. Yesterday
( your correspond, nt accompanied the ehap
i lain to the cemetery to witness a funeral.
The body had been brought to the spot e>u
j a hand car.
When we arrived the coffin lay on the
i ground in the 'middle of the road, while
six colored guards sat in the ditch in the
broiling hot sun. reading newspapers.
They picked up the eoLbn „ ilt l climbed the

GENERAL TERMS
OF THUM
Which Will Be Sent to the
Spanish Government by
the Administration.
ENTIRE CESSION PORTO RICO
Demanded, and the Relinquishment
of Spanish Sovereignty
In Cuba.
Washington, July 29.—The answer to the
Spanish note to be communicated by this
government as now made up for submis
sion to the cabinet make the following
general terms as to our conditions for
pea ce:
The absolute cessation of the Island of
Porto Rico
The relinquishment of Spanish sover
eignty in Cuba. *
Tle cessation of several small islands
adjacent to Cuba and Porto Rico to the
United States, leaving the disposition of
the Philipines and other islands in that
quarter subject to future negotiations.
The j resent aim it is further stated, is
the esialbisl'.ment and maintenance of a
coal’n? itirin at the Philippines, with a
fuily' adequate lend area, etc., in connec
tion therewith and to build up tlier.j an
an American city, possibly at Manila itself.
As a whole, it can be stated that there
is practically no difference of opinion in
the cabinet on the question of the retention
of the Philippines as a whole, all the mem
bers being opposed to our acquisition of
the islands.
There has been no decision, however,
as yet on the extent to which the govern
ment will go in its decision respecting the
future of these islands, but the probable
answer of the president will express a
willingness of this government to leave
the matter of the future government of
the Philippines entirely in the hands of a
joint commission to be appointed by this
government and the government of Spain.
The probability is that the United States
will insist upon a guarantee of certain re
forms in the government of the Philip
pines.

time and the departure was an especially
enthusiastic one. No other commands

Married Last Night.
POPULAR YOUNG COUPLE,
* •
The Bride and Groom Left Last
Night for Atlanta Where They
Joined Mrs. Flanders.
Mr. Clifford L. Vigal and Miss Morgie E.
Flanders were married yesterday evening
at -the residence of Mrs. W. R. Stokes.
The announcement of this wedding will
be a complete surprise to the many friends
of the young couple, who, while it was un
derstood, were engaged! had not announced
their intention to be married at an early
date.
In fact, it may be said that the surprise
will extend to the family of the bride, Mrs.
W. E. Flanders, her mother, was absent
in Atlanta.
The ceremony was performed by Rev.
Dr. Nelson, of Vineville, and Mr. and Mrs.
Vigal left last night for Atlanta.
The bride is the eldest daughter of Mrs.
Orrie Flanders, widow of Mr. W. E. Flan
ders, whose residence is on Second street.
She is a most charming young lady and
has friends all over the state.
Mr. Cliff Vigal is one of the best known
of Macon’s young men, and wtiile he has
not resided herb steadily for the last few
'•ears, he has always claimed Macon as his
home. i-Ie was assistant postmas under
Col tael Locke during the Harrison admin
istration, and since that time he has been
in the insurance business here and in
(Dublin.
It is probable that Mr. and Mrs. VigaJ
met Mrs. Flanders in Atlanta today and
that the announcement of the marriage
will be a pleasant surprise to her.
SAILOR’S SLEEVE

Newburg. N. Y., July 29—John Cleary,
of this city, is one of the crew of the mon
itor Amphitrite, now on duty as a bloek
ader in front of Hiavana. Cleary writes to
a friend here, giving particulars of a pecu
liar event which recently occurred off Ha
vana harbor. The crew, he says, spent
considerable of ,their time fishing for
sharks. A few days ago one was caught
by the crew and hauled aboard and dis
sected. Among other articles found in th
stomach was the isleeve of a United States
sailor’s jacket, with seven service stripes
upon it. l,t is supposed that the sleeve was

ALREADY ENTERED.
Two Enterprising Firms Place
Orders for the Carnival.
Ex-Mayor Henry Horne, Macon’* well
known real estate-dealer and enterprising
citizen, and the Dannenberg Company, one
of ,the largest dry goods establishments in
the South, are the first to place orders for
Carnival floats.
These firms made contracts this fiorn
ing with the Macon Decorating and Con
tracting Company, and their plans call for
floats that will do credit to Macon. In
fact, their appropriation insures floats that
will equal in many respects the hand
somest of Mardi Gras floats, and will prove
a revelta'tion to Carnival visitors.
M,r. Powers, manager of the Macon Deco
rating and 'Contracting Company, says he
expects to close contracts within the next
few days for six other fine floats, and he
•guarantees that none finer will be seen in
the Carnival procession. The designs are
now (being made, and the contracts will be
closed early next week. This is the prac
tical work for the Carnival already on
foot. It has been begun in time, and it
goes without saying that better results
will be secured.
KLONDIKE GOLD.
Nearly Seven Million Dollars' Worth Arrived
at Seattle, Washington,
Seattle, Wash., July 29 —Estimates of‘the

range front $10,000,000 ,to $20,000,000. In
the first twenty-seven days of the clean
up the Canadian bank purchased $1,000,000
in dust. This has come omt in drafts and
paper money. Counting in the money
which reached here yesterday ($1,500,000)
the Klondike has sent to Seatitle this sum

MANY SUITS
Against the Loan Companies
Doing Business in
Macon.
Since the fight on the so-called loan
companies doing business in this city was
commenced in The News some time ago,
and the matter was taken up vigorously by
the grand jury in its presentations, the
companies have found it somewhat dif
ficult to do business and there is trouble
in store for thehm.
Lawyers have, been secured by the ne
groes who have been bitten and are now
trying to get their money back.
It is probable that a large number of suits
will be commenced in a short time and that
the whole business will be aired in the
courts if indeed any members of the com
panies are to be found when time for
trial comes, which is very doubtful, as
they are as noiseless is the Arabs when
the time comes for folding their tents and
getting out in a hurry.

DESERTERS LEAVE.
Were Taken to Their Regiment at Jackson
ville Last Night-
The deserters, Mayer, Hamilton and
Vurrm, were carried back to Jacksonville
t..is morning by Corporal Owen and his
squad.
The three men have been-the topic of
discussion for the past three days at Camp
I’riee. .Some of the officers claim that
the men are not deserters, while others
say that they are. Corporal Owen stated
yesterday that the men had been away
from camp seventeen days. He said this
morning that he was at a loss what to call
the men if they were not deserters.
They attracted much attention this
morning when they were marched through
the streets hand-cuffed and surrounded by
guards.
Mayer, one of the deserters, said -that he
had been having a good time and that he
was now going back to pay for it.
Corporal Owen says that the m°n will
probably be given a three years sentence
in pr.so.t or they may be fined twelve
months’ pay.
They will arrive in Jacksonville some
time tonight and will be taken immediate
ly to the camp and locked up.
TEXT BOOKS ~
FOR NEXT YEAR.
Board of Education Decides
to Use a History of
Georgia.
The Board of Education held a special
meeting yeserday afternoon to decide on
the text books to use in the scnools of me
city and county.
The matter was brought before the board
by the report of the committee on text
books. The committee recommends that
the board should adopt 'Frye’s and Red
way’s geography instead of Swinton’s,
which has been in use in the schools
for a number of years and the committee
decided that it would be best to make the
change. Evan’s History of Georgia was
. Iso adopted. Formerly there has been no
history of the state in the schools of the
city and county, and the committee decid
ed to put such a history into the schools.
A few other changes in the books were
made, but they will not be of any impor
tance.
It was also decided to add another room
to the Gresham High School building, as
more room is needed at the school. The
room will be built before the opening of the
next session.
GOOD OPPORTUNITY.
Fancy Grocery Business in a Good Location
is for Sale.
The Holmes Grocery Company is offer
ing its whole stock of fancy groceries and
the store fixtures of the prettiest grocery
store in the city together with a good line
of paying customers.
This is an opportunity for anyone wish
ing to go into the grocery business. The
store is well located and the stock is fresh
and clean.
All particulars can be secured by calling
on the Holmes Grocery Company on Cher
ry street.
AT CAMP PRICE.
The Men Are Improved by the New Hats
Served Out.
Pay day for the Third regiment was pro
ductive of a general livening up of th'ngs
in the city and the boys have had a partial
revenge for a long period of financial
stringency.
The guard house at the camp is lull to
overflowing and a few of the men have
found their way into the city barracks, but
the fun was mostly good humored and so
far nothing serious is on the docket.
The saloons and restaurants have reaped
a rich harvest and of course some of the
money has found its way into the coffers of
the different merchants.
The streets last night were patrolled by
a provost guard, whose duty it was to
bring in those who were overcome, and
this morning a draft was made on the next
pay day in the way of fines imposed at the
orderly room trials before Colonel Ray,
who while a strict disciplinarian, was len
ient with the boys on this occasion.
The men will only be paid at this time
for the month of June, and consequently
the season of hilarity is only short, but
Paymaster Curry promises to come around
again very shortly and pay up for the
month of July, when there will be a re
newal of old acquaintances and the streets
will be made lively again.
Taken altogether, however, the behavior
of the men last night reflects credit on the
regiment and it would possibly be hard to
find a first pay day in any regiment of re
recruits that shows a better record than
this.
The three deserters from the camp a*
Jacksonville were taken away yesterday by
a detail sent from that city to take them
back to their regiment. The men whe
came up said that GeneraJ Lee is the pet
of the camp at Jacksonville, but the men
do not like the situation of the camp, and
would very much prefer to come to Macon.
Watermelons and peaches are selling
rapidly at Camp Price this morning. All
of the soldiers have money and are spend
ing it freely.
Rain prevented the drill yesterday after
noon and many of the men were glad as
it gave them the opportunity to spend some
of their money.
Drab felt hats were issued to all of the
men yeserday and it greatly improves the
appearance of the regiment. Squad drill
was held this morning at 9 o’clock and it
is expected the drill will be discontinued
today, as Colonel Ray is thinking of car
rying the men on practice marches here
after.
This will be of great benefit to the men,
as it will get them accustomed to march
ing.
Two pair of shoes for the
price of one, and in some in
stances three pair. Others
are taking advantage of it,

Dewey.
BELIEVED IN WASHINGTON.
Washington, July 29.—The war depart
ment officials are inclined to believe the
report that Manila has surrendered, but
there is a lack of definite advices.
(Dewey has 15,000 men a number suffi
cient to hold the city with ease, and the
other reinforcements, headed by General
Merritt are about due. ■
As soon as Merritt assumes the governor
ship Dewey will probably be called to
Washington for consultation.
NO SHIRKING -
OF ANY BLAME
Or Praise for the Santiago
Campaign on Shafter’s
Part.
Santiago, July 29 —General Shafter says
he has not made certain statements attri
buted him in an interview on the subject
of the attitude assumed by Garcia and
explains the alleged trouble between him
self and Senor Ros, the civil governor of
Santiago as a very small matter.
Ros is ruffled at iShafter for not allow
ing him the complete control of the civil
administration of the entire province of
Santiago. Ros considers himself the su
preme civil authority, basing his claims
upon the state paper issued by President
McKinley, July 18 ,and providing in gen
eral terms for the government of the pro
vince of Santiago which says:
Judges and other officials connected
with the administration of justice may, .if
they accept the supremacy of the United
States, continue to administer the ordinary
law as between man and man under
the supervision of the .American com
mander-in-chief.”
General Shafter desires it be known that
the waT department has in no way inter
fered with the conduct of the campaign.
The general adds that he was never ham
pered by the war department and if his
campaign in this vicinity had failed' the
fault would have been his own. The de
partment’s only participation in opera
tions was in ratifying the terms of the
Spanish forces.
Shafter has requested these statements
to be published in view of the fact that
the war department has been criticised for
faulty management.
Shafter has received advices that two
Spanish transports, one of them being a
hospital ship, have left the Island of Mar-,
tinque. They are expected tomorrow.
In addition three Spanish transports left
Cadiz yesterday and four others leave
Cadiz tomorrow. These vessels are capa
ble of carrying 15,000 troops. The embark
ation will begin when all the war nh.ips
are here.
