ESTABLISHED 1884 AWFUL DOOM AWAITS SHAFTER'S WHOLE ARMY If II Is Left at Santiago, Says Colonel Teddy Rooseveldt of the Rough Riders, in a letter Io the General on the Subject. DIE LIKE SHEEP When the Real Epidemic and Not tiie Fake Article Sets in as It Will. PIIA 1(1 HE SENT NORTH Where the Debilitated Army Can Get a Chance to Recover from the Effect of the Hardships Undergone. Copyright by Vsociated Preus. S int lago, August I Summoned by Gen eral Shafter, i meeting was held this m lining m his pr<Bence of every comm Hid ing officer un i medical officer of the Fifth army corps Shafter read a cable message from Al ger ordering the recommendation of Sur gion General Sternberg to move the army into the interior to San Luis, where it is healthier. As a result of the conference Shafter will Insist upon the immediate withdrawal of the army north within two weeks. As an explanation of the situation the following letter from Colonel Theodore Roosevelt commanding the First volunteer cavalry, to Shafter, was handed by the lat ter to tlie eorerspondent here of the Asso ciated Press for publication: ‘‘.Major General Shafter -Sir: At the meeting of the general and medical offi cers called by you at the palace this morn ing we were all. as you know, unanimous in the view of what should be done with the army To keep us here, in the opin ion of every offic. r commanding a divls ion or in igade, would simply involve the destruction of thousands There is no reason for not shipping practically the en tire command north at once. “Yellow fever cases are few in the cav alry division 1 command, one of two bri gades. and not one true case of yellow’ fe ver has oecui red in this division except among the men sent to the hospital at Si bouey. where they have .contracted it: but In this division there have been 1,500 eases of malarial fever. Not a man has died from It, lint the whole command is so weakened and shattered as to be ripe for dying like rotten shepp when the real ep idemic strikes us. as it is bound to do if we stay here at the height of the sickly season. “If we are kept here it will, in all human possibility mean appalling disaster, for the surgeons estimate that over half of the army, if kept here during th. sickly season, will die. This is not only terrible from a standpoint of Individual lives, but it means ruin from the standpoint of military effi ciency of the Hower of the American army, for the great bulk of the regulars are with you. The sick list is large, though it af fords but a faint index of the degilltation of the army. It is ten per cent. Active work for six weeks on the north Maine coast for instance, or elsewhere, where yellow fever germs cannot possibly prop..vate, would make all as tit as fight ing cocks and as able as we are eager to take a hading part in the campaign against Havana in the fall, even if we are not allowed to try Porto Rico. "We can be moved north, if moved at once, with absolute safety to the country, although, of course, it would have been in finitely better if we had been moved north or to IN>rto Rico two weeks ago. “If there is any object in keeping us we would face the yellow fever with as much indifference as we faced the results. but there is no object in it. “The four immune regiments ord. red are sufficient garrison for the city and sur rounding towns, and there is absolutely nothing for us to do and there has been none since the city surrendered. "It is possible to move into rhe interior. "Every shifting of camp doubles the sick rate in the present weakened condition, and the interior is rather worse than the coast, as we have found by actual recon n-aisame. Our present camps are as heal thy as camps at this end of the island can be. “I write only because I cannot see the men who have fought bravely and endured extreme hardships and dangers so uncom plainingly go to destruction without striv ing so far as lies in me to avert a doom as fearful as it is unnecessary and unde served. "Yours respectfully, "Theodore Roosevelt." After Roosevelt had taken the initiative, all the genrats united in an address to Shafter. It reads: "We are unanimous in the opinion that this army should be taken out of Cuba at once and sent to some northern point in the United States. "It can be done without danger to the people of the United States. Yellow fever is not epidemic at present, but the army is disabled by malaria and in a condition to be destroyed by an epidemic of yellow fe ver, which is sure to come. “The army is unable to move into the interior. There are no facilities for such a move. This army must be moved at once or perish. "As the army can be moved now, the personal responsibility for preventing such move will be responsible for the unneces- : sary loss of many thousand of lives. Our 1 opinions are the result of careful personal observation and they are also based on the unanimous opinion of the medical officers with the army who understand the situa- ■ tion absolutely.” General Ames sent the following com- I miinication to Washington: Allen, Assistant Secretary of Navy: This i army is incapable because of sickness from marching anywhere except to the trans ports. If it is ever to return to the United States It must do so at once.” MINER’S SIR I KF. Which May or May Not Come Off What Hanna's Man Says. I Cleveland, 0.. Aug. I.—Manager Thomas I Young, of the \1 A. Hanna Coal Company, says: “Tile miners threaten a general strike in the Pittsburg district. They say that some operators are not paying the rates. 1 think their threat of a strike is merely a bluff to induce operators who are paving tiie scale to bring their influence on the offending operators.” ROADS TO SHOW BIG INCREASE. What the Comptrollers Re .turns Will Tell About the Railroads. Atlanta, August 4. —The tax returns of the railroads in Georgia will show an in crease this year over 1897 of $791,906. Comptroller General AV right has received the returns from all except a small lines an estimating them at last year’s valua tion, the increase will be more than three quarters of a million. About $25,000,000 of railroad property of the Wsetern and Atlanlc, Georgia, South western and Augusta and Savannah roads is exempt by their charters, from an ad valorem tax, these companiese being taxed . uu th" ; r incomes. This year's returns of other lines will amount to $43,078,363, as compared to $42,- 2.86,457 for 1897. The returns for 1898 are the highest which have been made since the act of 1874 was passed. The returns are made direct to the comp troller general and not to the tax receiv ers of the various counties through which the roads pass. That officer is chargel with the onerous task of calculating the amounts due each county and city entitled to a portion of the taxes. The assessed value of the roals which make returns, together with the istimatcd value of the lines which are taxed on their incomes, make the total valuation of the railroad properties In Georgia $68,000,000. While there is an increase in the rail road returns, the majority of the returns from the county tax receivers show a de preciation in values. WILL CONTEST. Express Company Will Probably Make Fight on the Tax. The decision of the state railroad com mission in reference to express companies will probably be contested by the Southern Express Company. The commission has decided that tha ex press companies must furnish the stamp which the government says must be at tached to each package before it is ship ped. The construction placed by express companies upon the revenue law as that the sender of the package must pay for the stamp and affix it. and they have been , acting upon this construction. As there | was doubt about the exact meaning of tha i law the commission wall not bring suits j against the Southern Express Company for I not furnishing stamps heretofore. , The express campany is given five days j in which to decide what course it will pur sue.

WAITING AGAIN ON SPAIN'S REPLY President Declined to Modify the Demands Made bv this Country. EXCEPT ON MINOR POINTS, The Peace Commission Will Meet in France—Next Answer from Spain Will Be Final. Washington, August 4. —The government is now waiting to hear again from Spain and this time the expected answer will be final. Firmly, but courteously the president declined the earnest appeal of the French ambassador to modify the United States’ demands except in slight and compara tively unimi»ortant respects. There is no doubt that peace negotia tions are progressing to the entire satis faction of the president and members of the cabinet. A statement to that effect was made to day by a high official of the administra tion, who said that in a short time there would be a complete cessation of hostili ties. The confernce yesterday afternoon at the Whitehouse, at which the president, M. Cambon and Secretary 'Day participated, was devoted almost entirely to the discus sion of details which are regarded by the president as unimportant and hence the requests of the French ambassador, for the most part, were accorded. One of these was that the commission to be appointed to settle the terms of peace shall meet out of the United States and preferably in France. The president sees no material objection to granting this request and it is said to be practically set tled that the conference will be held in Paris. The Madrid government, through M. Gambon, propounded a number of questions as to the time when Spain is to be expected to evacuate Cuba_aud territory to be ceded to the United States, and a-s to what pro vision is to be made by the United States to protect the interests of the Spanish sub jects in these islands while the evacuation is in progress. Cambon was informed upon all of these points presumably to his satisfaction. There is one point which the Spanish, judging from the communication to the representative here, fall fully to compre hend, and Day’s call upon the ambassador last night was for the purpose of prin cipally making perfectly clear this one point, which was that the evacuation of Cuba, Porto Rico and one of the JUadrones, to be selected by the IJni'ted States, and the permanent cessation to this government of all these islands except Cuba, be made condition precedent to all peace negotia tions, and until these terms have been ful ly complied with, would this government consent to entertain any peace propositions whatever. After a conference at the Whitehouse with Pay and Long the president had a conference with Alger, Long and tne as - slant secretary of the navy, A 1 en. at which action was taken for the prompt transportation of Shafter's army from Cuba to Montauk Point, L. I. The confer ence occupied a couple of hours and there was an informal general presentation of the needs of prompt action and the means at hand to effect its transfer. It was finally concluded that there were sufficient vessels off the coast now for the purpose. When the meeting ended the officials stated that the number of vessels there was adequate for the removal of the troops home and it accordingly would begin at once. Another point taken up in the day.was the consideration of the expense rolls of the war and a discussion of where re trenchment could be immediately made. Steps for the disbandment of the auxil iary navy have already begun and other actions in the interets of economy will fel low. DAY IS HOPEFUL. He Now Says that He Thinks Peace Is at Hand. Washington, August 4. —The long con ference between the president and Secreta ry Day and Secretary Long, was held this forenoon. When Day joined the president the latter had been conferring with the secretary of the navy for three-quarters of an hour and looked worn and fatigued as a consequence of the night conference with the French ambassador. They were together going over the peace propositions and it was one o'clock in the morning before the confer ence ended. Secretary Day has full confidence that there will be little serious delay and bick ering over the closing of the doors of peace. A fortnight ago he was not so confident, being disposed to fear Spanish procrastina tion and haggling over details. Today he expressed the opinion that personally he believed that there was no longer danger on that score and said the policy seemed to have been abandoned under stress of circumstances. This expression goes to confirm other in dications that peace is near at hand. WILL MOVE TO ITS OLD HOME Macon News Will Be Found in the Building on Cher ry Street. WITHIN FIFTEEN DATS. Many Improvements Will Be Made and the Work of Moving Will Be Quickly Done. The News will move back to its old home within the next ten or fifteen days. The building on Cherry street formerly occupied by the The News and afterwards by the American National Bank, has been leased and will in future be the home of the Macon News. Workmen are now at work preparing the building for the occupancy of the paper and the moving will be done as quickly as possible after the necessary improvements and interior furnishings have been com pleted. This will give The News one of the pret tiest and best newspaper homes in the state. The building was erected putiposely for The News and was for years occupied by this paper. It 'will afford ample accom modation for the large newspaper and job printing departments of the company and the improvements planned out will greatly add to the convenience of all departments. It is recognized by the business men of the city that the trend of business is towards that part of the city and within Sft ft I ft U Lffly.il The News Building. a very short time all the stores at pres ent unoccupied on that street will have tenants and lower Cherry street will be once more the Wall street of Macon. While the work of moving a newspaper is a difficult undertaking the News will not allow anything to interfere with the publication of the best afternoon newspaper Macon has ever had, and when the busi ness season opens up it will be better pre pared than ever to please its natrons and to conduct every branch of its business so as to give even greater satisfaction than it has in the past. SPANIARDS ARE ADVANCING. Reports Reach Ponce that Thev Are Moving Towards Miles’ Armv. Ponce, August 3, via Kingston, August 4 —The Spaniards are reported to be ad vancing though it is not generally believ ed: In addition to the regular fortifications at Aibonito on the road to San Juan it is reported the enemy has mined the cliffs preparatory to blockading the road if obliged to retire. San Martin, the Spanish commander here, who evacuated this place, without orders, is a prisoner at San Juan. He will be tried for cowardice and probably will be executed. So far as is known, no forward move ment will be made by the AmericaiV roops until the arrival of more transports, which are expected hourly, There has been no fighting up to the present so far as is known. The Spaniards are expected to make the first stand at Aibonito, thirty-five miles from here where two or three thousand Spanish reg ulars are believed to be intrenched. At present the prospect is that there will be no actual fighting for several days. PRICE OF COAL ADVANCING Southern Trade Has Not Vet Felt the Effect of Higher Prices. Notice has been served on the western trade of a rise in the price of anthracite or hard coal, with a prospect of still fur ther advance in the cold weather that is ahead. A Macon dealer said yesterday- that the advance had no bearing on the cost of coal in the South and he saw no prospect of higher values being exacted from the consumers in this territory. Hard coal is stocking up in the east, from whence Sa vannah receives its supply, and while tfaera has been an abnormal demand tor the bi tuminous variety there is no reason to ap prehend any scarcity of the supply or any higher prices than have prevailed up to this time. The demand for hard coal for domestic purposes is said to be on the in crease here, owing to its -greater cleanli ness and heating power.

OFFICERS RESIGN COMMISSIONS. Tremendous Sensation I n Garretson’s Brigade With the Army at Ponce. MM 8E COURT-MARTIALED. The Colonel, Lieutenant-Colonel and One Major of a Massachusetts Regiment Have Resigned. Boston, .August 4—-A special cablegram to the Journal from Ponce says: A tremendous sensation has occurred in the Sixth Massachusetts with Garretson’s brigade. The friction between the .line officers of the regiment a.nd the officers of the bri gade which has been growing ever since the brigade left Cuba reached Its climax on Monday when Colonel Woodward, Lieu tenant Colonel S. Chaffin. Major Taylor, Chaplain Dousseault and Captain Gordell, of company “K” resigned their commis sions. The exact reason that prompted them to take this action is not at present known. The cause must have been serious indeed. The matter has been fully reported to General Miles and a rigid investigation has been ordered. By military law to re sign in the face of the enemy means a com tmartial. MACON MEN IN THIRD IMMUNES. Caotain Marion Harris Has I His Company Under Mag nificent Discipline. Company “A” commanded by Captain Marion W. Harris, is the only Macon com pany at Camp Price. The three commis sioned officers are from Macon and so are the majority of the men. A very strange fact about company “A” is that three commissioned officers are cousins. The company is one of the best discip lined companies in camp and it is decided ly the best drilled. The men all take in terest in everything they do and every man in the company has the highest re spect for their officers. The day on which the company was paid off Captain Hariris allowed sixty men to leave camp and not a Juan was arrested lor being drunk nor lor any other offense. This is a remarkable record aird one of ..m. any officer should be proud. The officers are among the 'best in camp and are always glad to see their friends. Cap tain Harris and Lieutenant Blount are both sons of Confederate soldiers and Cap tain Harris’ father was elected colonel of one of the Georgia regiments on the very spot where company “A” is now camped. The company as a whole is a fine look ing set of men and would do credit to any regiment of regulars. The following is the roster of the company: Company A, Third United States Vol untetra—ar.on Harris, Captui. Sidney it. '-Wiley, first lieutena it. James H. Blount, Jr., second lieutenant.

SERIOUS ILLNESS OF FLOYD ROSS Alarmed His Friends Very Much—Seized Suddenly at Bank. Mr. Floyd E, Ross, the paying teller of the Exchange Bank, was taken violently ill at the bank yesterday afternoon and it was thought for some time that he would die. He was sitting at his desk whep taken and began at once to rave like a wild man. The men in the bank did ail in their power to aid him, hut he grew worse, and it was necessary to call in a doctor- Drs. Clark and Hall came in and began work ing on Mr. Ross at once, and be was finally revived. He was carried to his house on Forsyth street and was resting easily this morn ing FATHER POWELL Will Preach Next Sunday at St. Joseph’s Church. Father Powell, the superintendent gen eral of the Jesuits of the South, will preach at St. Joseph’s Catholic church on Sunday morning next at the 10 o'clock mass. Father Powell will be remembered as having preached a most eloquent sermon at St. Joseph’s on last Easter day to a large congregation. He will be sure to have an even greater number of hearers oa Sunday next. THIBO IS PiCW IIP Orders Io Leave Were Received Ehls Afternoon at 2 O'clock and Preparations Begun, TENTS ARE DOWN And the Packing Up Is Being Done with the Utmost Rapidity. GOING BY THE CENTHM. The Regiment Will Go Out Over a Thousand Strong Fourteen Sick Men Will Go to Fort McPherson. The Third regiment has received its marching orders and will go out tonight. The order<was received at 2 o’clock this afternoon and was communicated by Col. Ray to the officers of the regiment. In a few minutes everything was on a rush and the work of striking the tents and packing up is now going on as quickly as possible. Every man in the canup is at work. The orders, while expected, came somewhat suddenly and will be a shock to some of the families of the men who will go out with the regiment to Santiago. The regiment will go from here to Sa vannah. The order to Colonel Ray, re ceived this afternon. directs him to pro ceed with his regiment at once to Savan nah where he expects to find the trans ports waiting for him. The first orders received by Colonel Ray directed him to hold himself in readiness to proceed to Santiago. These orders are to go to Savannah where the colonel ex pects to find the transports. The transportation will be arranged for this afternnon but the time of departure has not yet /been fixed. It is more than probafcle, however, that they will go out hy the 'Central sometime tonight. Just the hour cannot be stated at this time. The regiment will march out about a thousand strong. There are fourteen sick men in the hoe/pital. These will be sent to Fort McPherson as they are not in a. fit condition to travel at this time. Everything is excitement and enthu siasm at, the park. The white tents had ail disappeared within a half hour after the order was given out. The men are enthusiastic and seem to be glad of. the chance to move. Colonel Ray expressed himself this af ternoon to a News reporter as deeply grateful for all kindness thttt had been shown to himself and his regiment by the people of Macon. The boys will be given a rousing send off when they leave tonight. Rain prevented the regiment from going upon the parade ground yesterday after noon, but Colonel Ray gave orders to the captains to take charge of their compa nies and march them into the main build ing. The companies were drilled for an hour in the manual of arms, and they showed that they could handle the guns in great shape. Eight 'Companies were on the ground floor and four were up stairs. This gave plenty of room for the companies to do drilling. A large crowd of people from the city were down to watch the regimental drill but were disappointed. The camp is not so sloppy as people think. It is on the sand and the water soaks in the ground. The men all seem to like the rain as it prevents the drills and makes life easier to them. Orders were received in camp yesterday which will send Major Norman, the sur geon, (q Santiago at once. Major Norman is an expert with yellow feyer, and spent three years in New Orejaus during the ep idemics there. ■ Nq successor to Major Norman has been appointed, but it is said that pqe of the lieutenant surgeons will be appointed in bis stead. Lieutenant Blount has been transferred from company B to company A, and Lieu tenant Crenshaw from company A to com pany B. The negro deserter captured last week, having escaped from Atlanta, was sent back Tuesday. He was the most unruly prisoner that has ever been in the camp. The health of the camp is excellent. Only six men were ip the hospital yesterday and none Os them were very ill The health Os the regiment goes to show that Macon is an ideal camping spot, and it is expected that several other regiments will be camped here after this one leaves. The officers are going to carry all the table service and waiters to Santiago with (hem. and say that they intend to have as good things to eat there as anywhere. No more furloughs are Issued and every man has to be in his tent at 9 o’clock, un less he has a pass signed by the captain or the commanding officer of the company. All the officers here have sent in orders for the brown canvass uniforms and se/er la of them have been received. The uni forms are made of light brown canvass, trimmed in blue, and the regulation but tons are on the coat. The shower baths are very much enjoyed by the men. Every man is required to bathe every two days, and if he does not do so he is given a bath by the guard. It is thought by many of the officers that a sham battle will be given before the reg iment departs. They all say it would be a good idea as it would accustom the men to firing. When the canteen was first established many kicks here heard from the men on account of the poor quality of the kept, but now the canteen is examined daily by a board of officers and it is found to be in good condition. The paymaster is expected today, and as soon as he arrives he will begin paying the men for the month of July. All of the company pay rolls have been made out and the men are anxious for their money. The guard house had a deserted appear ance yesterday. Only a few men were confined and the place did not look natu ral. COTTON FUTURES. New York, August 4—Futures opened dull.
