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. BOTTLES MARK RESTING PLACE. Method Adopted for Showing Where the Soldiers Lie. I • 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 ' hill with it to the burial ground. The ! chaplain read the usual service a; the side ! of the grave, after which the guards shov eled in the earth. At the head of the grave i a foot below the.surface.

In this way it will easy for friends to Iden tify and claim bodies. . Later the body of Postmaster Brewer I was recoveted in the old graveyard after a long search. It will remain here in a metallic casket until cold weather.

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. STORM SWEEPS OVER ENGLAND. Shipping Damaged and In land Crops Laid Low byl the Wind. London, July 29 —The mart' east coast of this country has been swept by a great storm. The fishing fleets have had a nar row escape, being obliged to relinquish all gear and nets and run to the hanbors for shelter, where many other vessels were compelled to seek refuge.

ORIEL WEDDING BIGJRRFRISE Mr. Cliff Vigal and Miss Mor gie Flanders Quietly 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 Found in the Stomach of a Shark Off Ha vana. 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 worn by one of the victims of battle ship Maine. two fineTloats 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 output of the Klondike gold fields this year 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 mer $6,700,000. WORSTED MILLS BURN. Loss Will Amount to Sixty Thousand Dollars —lnsured.

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.

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, why not you? Fire Sale. PONCE £VES OP.

Paris, July 29. —A telegram from Madrid to the European edition of the New York Herald says a cable dispatch has been re ceived from the Spanish capital announc ing the surrender of Manila to Admiral 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. ST, PAUL SAILS. Last of Brooke’s Expedition Leaves Newport News.
