——
Os the Battle of Santiago-Boys
Under Twenty - one Cannot En
list Without Parents Consent.
Th<’ Third Georgia regiment at * amp
Northen, Georgia, ia being rapidly «H<‘d
up. Eight hundred and aixty-one men are
now mtMtered in and there are fifty-two
recruit* who have not yet taken the oath.
Co! John S. Candler ia in charge of the
regiment and the officer* who rank next
t<> him are Lieutenant Colonel Bob Berner,
Major Marcus Beck and Major Robert
Hpenee. who wan in the Santiago fight,
fitajor Spence was a second lieutenant in
the Sixteenth infantry prior to his appoint
ment a« major, and was wounded twice
In the battle of Santiago.
(inly a few of the commissioned officer*
are in camp at present as many of them
are out recruiting. Four hundred men are
Deeded to complete the regiment and the
officers are working hard to secure them.
The surgeons at camp are very strict in
their examinations and only a small per
centage of those who are examined suc
ceed in passing. The men at 'Camp Northen
are all fine specimens of manhood and in
appearance are far superior to the men at
Camp Price.
No guns have been issued to the soldiers
yet but they are drilled in all the field
movements without arms. Retreat and
dress parade were held yesterday after
non and the regiment showed up in splen
did shape. A band has been enlisted and
it gives two concerts daily and also plays
at all drills. Guard mounting is held each
morning at 8 o’clock and an orderly for the
colonel is selected.
Lieutenant Palmer, of the Twenty-first
Infantry, is the mustering officer. He is
the jollleet man in camp and can tell more
jokes than any man in Griffin. He has
dubbed the rigiment “The Griffin Legal
Light Infantry." Ho says that it has so
many Judges, solicitor generals and law
yers that no other name would be appro
priate. He says that if the regiment were
to get in two mih* of a battle some one
of the lawyers would make an application
to one of t.he judges for an injunction, to
prevent the regiment from getting into a
fight and the Judge would be sure to grant
it.
Captain Sterns, of Rome, has the largest
number of men in camp. Captain Burr,
of Griffin, comes next with seventy-<three.
Each company is required to have 106
men.
Lieutenant Palmer was asked if it was
true that he gave out information to the
effect that a boy over 18 years of age could
enlflist htwiout ithe consent of his parents.
He said. "Os course I did not. 'I made no
such statement. It is another newspaper
He. 1 did not write.the army regulations
ami I have no authority to change them.
It is against the regulations to enlist a
man under 31 years of age Without his con
sent and I have made no statemend to the
sontrary,”
It is understood that a few captains
have been enlisting men under 21 wit’nout
consent of their parents. Since the com
munication. which Lieutenant Palmer is
said to have made was published. It will
be seen licit it is against the regulationsdo
enlist a man under 21 without consent of
his parents and .the officers who have been
doing so are lialde to be courtmartialed.
Major Spence was asked how the men
behaved under fire and he said: “The first
•hell that came by every man dropped to
the groundand it was all we officers could
do to make them go forward. We found
it hard to urge the men on. when thiey
■were being fired upon unless they were
allowed to return it. As soon as the men
began firing they got all right and were
no more trouble.
"1 don't think that General Shatter in
tended us to fight the first day. We had
no orders."
He was asked how the volunteer forces
fought. “Oh. well enough." he replied,
"but they had ,to be sent to the rear as
every time they opened fire the smoke
from the Springfield’s would show our po
sitions to the Spaniards and they would
fire right into us. The volunteers wanted
to tight, but they would have given away
our position. We regulars were using
•mokeless |>owder while the volunteers
were not."
“Our firing line was decreased consid
erably on account of the number of men
it took to carry back the wounded. Some
times when a man was badly wounded it
took four men to carry him to the rear.
Many of the men who went to the rear
never came back until the firing was over.
“ 1 had been in the fight about an hour
when 1 was shot in the hand and .1 was
ordered to .the rear (by my captain to have
my wound dressed. While on my way to
the hospital about two miles from the
firing line 1 saw one of the generals and
his-staff sitting under some trees smoking.
They had not been near the firing at all
and seemed to he taking it easy.
T he next day when I was on my way
from the hospital to the firing line a bullet
from a Spanish sharp-shooter struck me
in the leg disabling me entirely and once
more 1 had to be carried to the rear."
Major Spence says that the men had to
endure great hardships and that many
bmve mein fell while trying to cut .the
barbed wire which surrounded the Spanish
entrenchments.
Major Spence is an interesting talker
and it is very Interesting to listen .to his
description of the battle. He is a Georgian
bv birth and is a graduate of the Univer
sity of Georgia. He graduated from West
Point in 1893. He is the ranking major
at Griffin.
The quality of the uniforms issued to the
men at Griffin is the best which has been
issued to any of the volunteer forces.
The officers think that the will
be tull in two weeks and that they will be
assigned to General Lee's command at
Jacksonville.
Camp Northen is a very healthy place.

Not a man was on the sick list today and
no sickness has been reported for several
days. The officers hope to have the guns
issued to them in a few days so that they
can begin instructing the men in the
manual
The recruits are mustered in and given
uniforms as fast as they come in.
The Third Georgia will "be a fine regi
ment when the organization is completed.

WAILS OF THE DONS.
What Madrid Papers Have to Say of Cer
vera’s Fleet.
New York, July 29. —T'te views of Span
ish editors on the destruction of Cervera’s
fleet are suown by these quotations from
Madrid newspapers received here:
“Montojo’s squadron yesterday—Cerve
ra's squadron today!” the Heraldo ex
claims. "This is horrible. This is dread
ful. No account of the lost shins. No
Spaniard would weep over ships lost in an
other Trafalgar on account of the
blood that was shed. There is Cuba cov
ered with our blood, and nobody ever
thought of it. What makes our grief the
greater is not the extent of our disaster,
but the consideration that what for us was
annihilation, was for the Yankees the af
fair of a moment. These figures tell their
own tale —Cadarre is killed and' with him
hundreds of obscure heroes fell also. But
what did it cost Dewey to produce such a
terrible catastrophe? Six wounded sailors.
‘‘Our best fighting ships, our admirable
cruisers and swift destroyers are sunk off
the Cuban coast, their crews ar? slain or
captured, with Admiral Cervera at their
head, but what did such a complete vieto
tory cost Sampson. One dead and two
wounded. These figures make not only a
striking contrast, but they complete the
effect of redhot iron in the flesh.
"What? Is there no means bv which we
may kill as we are killed? Is there no
means by which the guns on our ships
may cause a slight scratch on the enemy?”
Captain Aunon, the minister of marine,
is quoted by El Nacional as having said:
“If the American warships come to Spain
I. with whatever craft be left >o us, shall
go to head them off or perish. Such is my
duty.”
Upon which the Republican leader, Sal
meron. is quoted as having remarked:
"Very fine, very fine. But you will see
how he does not one of the other. All that
is left tc Spain is a disposition 'or brag
ging and Joking.
The cost of Cervera’s defeat is figured by
El Nacional as follows:
“The Vizcaya, >3,600,000.
“The Oquendo. $3,600,000.
“The Maria Teresa. $3,600,000
“The Cristobal Colon. $4,400,000.
“The Pluton. $500,000.
“The Furor. $500,000.
Artillery. $3,800,000.
Total. $20,000,000.
“That is to say $20,000,000 of which
Sampson has given a good account in
three or four hours.” is the comment of the
El Nacional.
FINAL PLANS
WILLBE MADE
Important Meeting of the Car
nival Executive Commit
tee this Afternoon,
FINANCES ARE ALL RISHI.
The Committee Has Not Yet Com
menced an Active Canvass for
Subscriptions.
The executive committee of the Macon
Carnival Association will meet at the
rooms of the Chamber of Commerce this
afternoon at 5 o’clock and a large attend
ance of the committee is expected.
This will be the most important meeting
that the committee‘has held since it was
decided to hold the Carnival.
Since the last meeting a great deal has
been done and the success of the under
taking is assured.
At the last meeting it was a grave ques
tion whether it would be possible to raise
the necessary amount of money in view of ;
the fact that the war was liable to last for
an indefinite time and under those cir
cumstances the merchants of the city
would not be inclined to give their support
to the undertaking, but that has all been
changed now. Peace is in sight and the
city has set the example by subscribing a
thousand dollars as a start to the fund.
This amount has already been augment
ed by large subscriptions from prominent
firms and the finance committee will be ■
able to report this evening that it has al
ready two thousand or twenty-five hun
dred dollars in sight
There will be no difficulty in raising the
rest of the money and a much larger
amount than was anticipated will be forth
coming.
This, of course, means that the Carnival,
will be the biggest thing that Macon has
ever offered to attract the people of the
surrounding country. But there is much
to be done. All of the committees have
hard work ahead of them as the prepara
tions were pecesssarilv delayed and the
rush from now on wjll be tremendous.
The finance committee of the Carnival
Association has not yet started to canvass
for subscriptions. They were out for only
a short time yesterday and received $250
from the Acme Brewing Company.
Chairman Talbott, of the finance com
mittee, said this morning: “We have not
yet started an active canvass for money.
It will be necessary for us to write letters
to all the prominent business firms before
we start out for subscriptions.
“We huve been assured $2,500 already
and we do not think that we will have any
trouble in raising the necessary amount.
We will start in on the large subscriptions,
which have been assured us and I think
that we can get $3,000 in ten days. The
Acme Brewing Company donated $250 yes
terday and we hope to get in many sub
scriptions in the next few days."

MRS. E. K. BURNETT
Died Last Night at Her Home on Ross
Street.
Mrs. E. K. Burnett, widow of the late J.
C. C. Burnett, died last night at 11:20
o’clock, at her home on Ross street.
She had been tenderly nursed for weeks
through a severe illness, and when she
peacefully fell into her last, long sleep she
was surrounded by a large company of her
sorrowing relatives.
She had lived to a ripe old age, being in
her 78th year, and her warm, loving heart
and cheerful nature had won for her a
large number of devoted friends.
The home of “Grandma Burnett’s,” as
she was lovingly called by all who knew
her, was always the gathering place of
friends and relatives. It is impossible to
estimate the good, her dear life has accom
plished, being for so long an earnest Chris
tian with an influence so pure and gentle.
She was a model in her old age. Always
young of heart, she drew the little chil
dren close about her. and kept herself sur
rounded with sweet flowers that they might
enjoy them with her.
When quite young she married a Mr.
Willingham, who, in attempting to extin
guish a fire which occurred where the Ho
tel Lanier now stands, was crushed to
death by a falling building. Her only liv
ing child bj’ this marriage is Mrs. Hen
ry Garfield, of this city.
She next married Mr. Goodyear and upon
his death was left with four sons, viz: B.
S., W. A., J. H. and G. A. Goodyear, well
known and highly esteemed men.
Her third husband was the late J. C. C.
Burnett, who had five children at the time
of the mar-:age, viz: John R. Burnett.
Tobe Buri, ett, Joe Burnett, Mrs. it S
Go< dyear and Mis. B. S. Jones, of Ch?.: -
ictte, N. C.
This large family connection has been
a very devoted and u. ed one, and they
f-e» that bet wonder'ill influence has held
their, in these close, sweet bond>.
She leaves about thirty grand children
and sixteen great grandchildren.
The funeral exercises will be conducted
this afternoon at Centenary church —the
church which she and her late husband
loved so much. Rev. T. D. Ellis, will offi
ciate, being assisted by Mr. J. J. Cobb, who
for years has been a close friend of the
family.
The sweet singing of Mr. and Mrs Burt
Wilder, one of the family connections, will
be very grateful to the family, as “Grand
ma Burnett" loved their music so much.
The pallbearers will be her four sons,
B. S., W. A., G. H. and J. H. Goodyear, her
three step sons, John R., Tobe and Joe
Burnett, and her grandson, Leon Garfield.
Though she will rest at Rose Hill cem
etery her influence will live until time
shall be no more.

Chickamauga on Next
Tuesday.
A carload of watermelons, peaches, can
teloups and other South Georgia fruits
will be shipped from here to the boys of
the First Georgia regiment at Chickamau
ga on Tuesday.
Mr. T. S. Lowry has been very aeive in
soliciting the fruits for the soldiers, and
he has met with a hearty response from
the people.
The people from other states have been
shipping their soldiers fruits and other
delicacies since they have been in camp
and Macon intends doing the same thing
for the Georgia boys.
Many of the prominent fruit growers
have promised to send in large shipments
of fruit for the car by Monday, and hun
dreds of people from the city have signi
fied their intention to contribute things.
The route by which the car will be ship
ped has not yet been decided upon, hut will
be given out in tomorrow's News.
Donations of watermelons, ‘ peaches or
any other kind of fruits will be cheerfully
Macon news frieay evening, july 29 iß g s.
r ece.vey by Mr. T. St Lowry, or by The
N’ewL
The. freight on the car will cost some
thing of course, and small contribu.ions of
money will be cheerfully received.
Already about 300 melons have been do
nated arid about one hundred crates of
peaches, and they are coming in to Mr.
‘Lowry every hour in the day.
Fruit of any kind will be highly prized
by the Georgia boys as they have had very
little thia year. The fruit growtrs could
do nothing better with their surplus fruit
than to send it to the soldiers.
Mr. Lowry says that the car is sure
to go and that the people who ntend to
contribute anything for the boys should
send it to him by Monday evening at
the depot of delivery which will be desig
nated in the News tomorrow.

Mt. Airy. G.. on Wednesday. Au
gust 3rd. The object of the meet

glorious triumphs of the army and navy
of America.” A company of regulars from
Fort McPherson will attend the meeting

BANK AT MANILA
New York Capitalists Intend to Establish
Soon.
Washington. July 29 —An application for
permission to organize the First National
Bank ait Manila, Philippine Islands, has
been filed by Messrs. Busby and Coolidge,
Washington newspaper correspondents,
who - say they have enlisted 'the assistance
of New York capitalists in the scheme.
This makes the third application for Nat
ional bank charters to be exercised in an
nexed or conquered territory, filed with the
comptroller of >the currency by’ newspaper
men. They have (been the first in the field
in each case.
ADMIRAL CERVERA’S KINSHIP.
Admiral Cervera’s full surname is Cer
vera y Topete. .
According to the rules of Spanish nomen
culture, the mother’s name, among per
sons of good birth, is attached to the fath
er's by the conjunction “y.” Admiral To
pete, who started the revolution against
Queen Isabella, was an uncle of Cervera.
He would be more than one hundred years
old if still living. One of his sisters mar
ried Admiral Cervera’s father, and their
son has taken Topete as a second name or
patronymic, Another sjster who married
a Nunez, became the mother of Admiral
Nunez y Topete. Another sister was the
mother of Arturo Baldassano y Topete, late
consul general of Spain in New York.
All of these kinsmen bear an excellent
name, as types of the hignest quality of
Spanish manhood. Members of our diplo
matic service who have known them so
cially, including Assistant Secretary Adee,
of Washington, >D. C., express themselves
warmly in their praise.

The Savannar Press makes the following
deserved mention of a well known Macon
lady, who is fast making a mpst enviable
reputation as a writer: “One of the most
pleasant writers in Georgia is Miss Essie
C. McMillan, who contributes from time to
time very interesting articles to the Macon
Telegraph. Miss McMillan writes with
great freedom and good sense and her col
umn is widely read. She has published
some of her best pieces in northern papers,
where they have been cordially received.
Miss McMillan is a careful, conscientious
and talented lady and her work is attract
ing considerable attention.”
Miss Annie Chick is making a decided
hit in her illustrated songs at Crump’s

parlor picture? I have ’em. Also breast,
scarf or hair pins, rings, cuff and col
lar buttons. If so remember Migrath’s,
558- Mulberry street, opposite Hotel
Lanier.

Half the price of fruit jars.
Only sold for the cash as
profit is too close to charge.
Price,
55c per dozen.
The heavy demand this for glass jars
has exhausted the Macon stock and as the
priee at the factories has advanced so
much that it amounts to prohibition. See
ing such a great crop of fruit flowing into
the city now and at almost your own
price and knowing that are sb much late
peaches, apples, pears, etc., yet to come
we have put in a good stock of tin fruit
cans, which we are now selling at about
half what the glass jars would cost. No
more troublt to use them than glass jars.
No soldering is necessary. Wax strings go
with each can.
At the price of fruit and the priee of
cans everyone should put up enough fruit
to last. Next year there may be no fruit.
