Reports Coming from O’ Ar

Confirm This.
Santiago. August I. The warships Mas

coaling. Commander Todd, of the Wil

lows :
Then ate about 2.000 regulars. 1.000 vol
unteers and 500 bombardoes. They appear
to be well supplied with cattle and pro
visions. but are believed to be short of
ammunition. Recent events in the vicin
ity disheartened them and it is believed
the appear. in:.' of an American force,
even of only 1.000 men will result in the
capitulation of the place.
So far as the forts are concerned they
amount to little or nothing beyond some
Held pieces tem)>orarily placed in position
and belonging to t lie army. But there are
about twenty field guns In the vicinity.
The country immediately surrounding
Manzillo is .tie amt military operations
could readily be carried on on the only
‘high road leading out of Manzillo. which
goes to B.iyamo. With the naval force in
front of the city at this season of the
year it would not be possible for the
Spanish troops to leave Mananzlllo except
by this road which could be blocked by a
1 lading party. The general feeling of the
Spanish forces at Manzillo and its vicinity
is best shown by the fact that the insur
gent leader Rios is encamped a few miles
from the place with 150 cavalrymen and
occasionally makes raids on the outskirts
of the town in order to obtain the cattle
belonging to the Spaniards.
('outlrmati >n h-.is been obtained that the

NOT SURPRISED
AT SPAIN S DELAY
Sagasta Has Hard Political
Problems to Solve Before
He Can Sign.
fissi -iiiit o« ran
That the Spanish Cabinet Has Acted
at All Promptly on So Import
ant a Matter.
Washington, Aug. 5. —With a realization
of the grave political problems that must
be solved by Sagasta, the Spanish premier,
before he can finally assent to the United
States’ demands, the administration is not
Surprised that the answer from the Span
ish side has been delayed.
We believe that so far as the premier
hipuulf is concerned he has made up his
mind to accept the conditions, but while
in this decision he is supported by a ma
jority of hjs cabinet he finds it necessary
to secure the adhesion of the leader of
other parties in to guard against disaster
in the future.
Spanish methods have never been noted
for rapidity and it is said the present Is
the first case on record where the Spanish
cabinet acted within a day or two on a
matter of such Importance as the pending
jreaoe proposal.
Therefore it is scarcely expected that a
last and decisive answer will be forth
coming immediately.
So far as can be learned there has been
no further communication between the
state department and the French embassy
since Wednesday.
Assuming that the report is true that
Sagasta is seeking explanations of detail
under each head of the president’s note It
is probable 'that these explanations are
being furnished by M. Gambon himself.
At any rate he made no further applica
tion to the state department for informa
tion and it is said there that he is so fully
advised now of the president’s intentions
that there is no occasion for him to do bo,

Carr pbell’s Wife Was Prosecutor and is Now
Insane.
Louisville, Ky., August s—Georges—George F.
Campbell, the Methodist minister who was
expelled from the Louisville conference of
the church last fall, will ask to be rein
stated by that body when it meets in Sep
tember. On last Saturday (Mrs. Mary
tmpb.il. his wife, who preferred the
• . ~,, vvlii.-h he was expelled, was
adjudged insane and committed to an
asylum. Campbell claims that this is a
vindication of his chief defense, which was
that his wife was mentally unbalanced
when she left him and preferred the
charges, which tie found it impossible to
offset by evidence.
Campbell at the time was pastor of Mor
ton chapel, in Jeffersonville, Ind. The case
created a sensation. He is now practicing
law at Hopkinsville. Mrs. Campbell’s in
sanity has taken the form of a religious
mania.

Three Hundred Valuable Cattle Plunged to

Bancroft. Neb.. Aug. 5. —J. McKeeg-an’s
famous herd of short horn cattle, number -

a singular manner.
The eattle were attacked by several
swarms of wild bees, which occupy trees
on the Missouri river bluffs. In their ter

drowned.
PAYMASTER
HAS ARRIVED
And the Third Regiment Will
Probably Get Its Money
Tomorrow.
The soldi, rs at the eamp were not paid
off today as expected on account of the
money not being here.
Paymaster Howell arrived in the city
last night and intended paying the men
off today but as the money did not arrive
he was unable to do so.
The men will be paid off tomorrow, how
ever. which will give them a chance to
distribute some of it in Macon. Colonel
Ray said this morning that over $26,000
would be paid out at this payment and it
would probably amount to more than that.
There are one thousand privates who
will receive sl3 each and the sergeants
will be paid on an average of S2O each.
The officers, fifty in number, will receive
on an average of $125 each and this count
ed up will amount to a large sum of
money. The soldiers are all anxious for
their pay as many of them have families
who are dependent upon them who are in
need of money. Some of the men owe the
merchants in town and wish to pay them
before having.
Colonel Rays says that the men .till get
their money before they leave Macon and
that he will give them an opportunity to
spend some of ij before they go.
SEIDLE’S MANTLE
Has Fallen Upon the Shoulders of Herr
Schalk.
New York, August s—Maurice Grau has
settled th. mu eh-discussed question, who
will conduct the German performances at
the Metropolitan opera house next winter,
by engaging Conductor Schalk to take the
place left vacant by Anton Seidl’s death.
Herr Schalk, who is not among the well
known conductors of Germany like Motti.
Muck. Strauss, Richter and Weingartner,
went to London three weeks ago and there
conducted a .performance of “Lohengrin.”
It was the last performance of the opera
this season, and Herr Schalk went to Lon
don to show what his qualities were.
Both Maurice Grau and Jean de Reszke
were delighted with his work, and he was
engaed to conduct the Wagner operas at
the Metropolitan next winter.
It was generally believed that either
Emil Paur or Walter Damrosch would be
engaged to take Ae.tan Seidl’s place, as all
efforts to secure one of the better known
German conductors had proved unavailing.
Herr Schalk until his engagement by Mr.
Grau was assistant conductor at Berlin.

AN UNNECESSARY SACRIFICE OF LIFE,
He Says that Thev are Not Required for Fighting Purposes,

Compels Him to Put in a Plea to Save Them
From Life or Death in the Pest
Hole in Cuba.
Senator Bacon sent the following telegra m at 3 o’clock this afternoon to the sec
retary of war:
Macon, Ga., August 5, 1898.
Hon. Rbssell A. Alger, Secretary of War. Washington, D. C.:
It is distinctly understood throughout the Whole country that the Third Regi
ment United States Volunteers, although twilled immune, are no more immune from
yellow fever than any other volunteer regiment. It is composed almost exclus
ively of Georgians, nearly all of whom are very young men, and many of them mi
nors. When enlisted, the government subjected them to a rigid physical examina
tion, but no proof was demanded or de- sired as to their immunity from yellow
fever It is not even pretended that a mania the regiment has ever had yellow fever.
To send 'hese young men and boys to Santiago at this time, with no enemy to fight,
is to expose them to the same deadly peril from yellow fever as is now said to
confront those who, having reaped ‘the honors, are now demanding to be sent to a
Northern seaside. If more troops were now needed at Santiago, or if fighting were
to be done the order for this regiment would be approved by all, but it is a
wholly different matter to send them into a pestilence that other soldiers, who are
probably more nearly immune than they, may be removed from the danger. A
solemn sense of my duty to these young men impels me, therefore, to request most
earnestly and urgently that the order for their removal to Santaigo be revoked. I
send this without the knowledge of any officer or man in the regiment,
A. O. BACON, United States Senator.

to Consul Wildman.
The message is dated Cavite, July 30,
and in it Aguinldo says it has been re
ported that he “is getting the big head
and is not behaving as he promised Wild
man.”
“In reply,” says Aguinldo, “I ask why
should America expect me to outline my
policy of present and the future and fight
blindly for her interests when America
will not be frank with me. Tell me this.
I am fighting for annexation, protection
or independence. It is for America to say,
not me. I can take Manila as I have de
feated the Spanish everywhere, but what
would be the use if America takes It.
“I can save my men and arms for what

THEY FEED UPON
DEAD SOLDIERS.
Stories of the Vultures, the
Necessarv Scavengers on
Cuban Battlefields.
Santiago, July 21—(By Mail)—A fea
ture of campaigning in Cuba which
has inspired the soldiers from the North
with horror and disgust js the presence
of the huge turkey buzzards on the battle
fields.
The bird is perhaps in appearance and
habits the most loathsome creature of air
known to the continent. It is. of right,
a vulture, stands about two and one-half
feet high, and is of lustrous brown plu
mage. The hideous part of the bird is-its
head and neck, naked of plumage and red
dish, like raw flesh . Below this is a cir
cular ruff of feathers, which seem to ac
centuate the revolting appearance of the
neck. The bill is long and slender, with
a powerful curved tip for tearing flesh.
Carrion is the food of the turkey buzzard
though it will eat fresh meat, and when
in force will even kill small animals or
birds. But American soldiers in Cuba,
with their dead friends lying in the thick
underbrush, know too well what the ap
proach of these vultures means.
In a letter to a friend, written after the
fighting at Baiquiri, one of the Rough
Riders tells of watching the buzzards
come and of shooting at them as they set
tled down to their feast. One of his com
pany, he adds, who fought as bravely as
the best during -the battle, went into a sort
of hysterical fit at the approach of one of
the birds and cowed sway from it, crying
like a child.
Other instances of the soldiers shooting
at the buzzards and killing them or driv
ing them away have beep
Yet there Is much -to be said on the
side of the carrion birds. The are our
best allies, and as soon as -the battle is
over their work of sanitation begins. In
that hot climate drath lurks in the dead
and reaches forth for the living.
Close behind death in battle waits death
by pestilence, ready to claim more victims
than shot or shell. It is here that vul
tures perform their part, terrible to think
of. but very necessary to the army's weal.
After the battle friend and foe lie dead
together in 'the all but impenetrable chap
arral.
What the burial parties cannot find in
that tangled underwood the instinct of -the
vulture discovers. Far away -in the sky
distance a black spot appears, grows larg
er and sails along on motionless wings
until presently it settles down to earth.
Others follow, gathering from all points of
the compass. They settle in little bands
of six or eight, or even a dozen, and when
-they have risen instead of the intolerable
and horrible residue of humanity which
laye in the brush,, a menace of pestilence,
there remains only a skeleton to whiten in
the sun and rain.
IN CONEFRENCE.
Casteliar Wants te Treat Some More But
Campos is for Peace.
Madrid, Aug. 5. —A conference between
the poli-tieal leaders on the subject of
peace terms continues.
Senor Casteliar, although an advocate of
peace, was of the opinion in negotiating
the conclusions that the government
when the energy displayed by Spain in
dealing with the United States saved
Spanish interest, and he thought that
every effort should be made to preserve
Spanish sovereignty over Porto Rico.”
The Liberal publishes an interview with
Campos who is quoted as saying, “I openly
favor peace. Everything that has hap
pened in this war could have been fore
seen, but the most pessimistic could never
have imagined that our misfortunes would
be »o
“The destruction of Montejo's and Cer
vera's squadrons, the surrender of Santia
go and rapid and unristed occupation of
Porto Rico.
■ No one would have imagined it, even
taking into consideration the superiority of
the United States.
“Neither the present government nor
any other ean change the situation. It
would be madness to think of rejecting
President McKJalej’s condition.

Richland, .Mich., August s—One of the
most daring and successful hank robberies
ever perpetrated in Michigan was carried
out by six robbers last night.
Some of them came from the east on <t
hand car and evidently had confederates
with a horse and carriage. They securvij
about $5,000 in cash from the Union bank
and $4,600 in notes.
The horse and carriage was taken into
Augusta and left. There were three ex
plosions which awakened the people. Al
vin Barnes, an old man who lived near the
bank was ordered into his house with a
■threat that they would shoot him.
George Robson and Ed Barrett saw the
roubers but did not molest them. The safe
was a complete wreck, nitro glycerine be
ing used to open it. The inside doors was
•blown ten feet out into the office and the
pieces went through a plate glass front
twenty feet distant. The chissels and other
tools were left. The hand car was dis
abled so it could not be used to pursue the
robbers.

Gen. Blanco’s refusal to permit them
