SPANISH ARE DISHEARTENED. Reports Coming from O’ Ar Provinces On the Island Confirm This. Santiago. August I. The warships Mas sachusetts and Dixie arrived at Guantan amo last night and immediately started coaling. Commander Todd, of the Wil mington. reports the conditions at Man zanillo, learned from Gen. Rios, fol 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 Florida r-lief expedition to Gome?, has been successful \ bulletin says the Spani-h forces generally from Mananzillo to Trinidad are evidently in a demoralized condition. Santa Cruz, the port on the south coast of the province of Puerto Principe, is reported to be desert.d. WIREGTASS FANS Say Thev Will Bring Several Hundred Peo pie With Them. Editor Burton, of the .Eastman Journal, is in the city today and has ailxnit con cluded the arrangements for a game of baseball to be played between Wiregrass Georgia and Macon. M.ssrs < liarles Harris and Bruce . hav< the matter in hand and will arrange the game. The Wiregrass representatives in nat ional game say that they have something invincible on the diamond among ama teurs and the Macon men say that they can take the four men of the regular team who are in the city and scratch up enough men to shut out the Wiregrass fans with out a run. Editor Burton !< himself a little too old to play, but he is a rooter from away back He won’t bluff a bit. but says that what the people of the Wiregrass want is to come up and root for their team. He says that they will bring up several hun dred people from Eastman and the sur rounding towns and that if they don’t beat .Macon they’ll most. Ev< ryone is anxious to see the game and it wiil be made the banner event of the season. TO INDIANAPOLIS. The Knights of Pythias They Go in Special Car. Efforts are being made to secure a large enough attendance from Macon to the great gathering of the Knights of Pythias at Indianapolis to justify the engaging of a special car for the round trip, it will take about twenty Knights to do this, and It is the impression now that Macon and nearby towns will have at least that many members of the order desirious of taking the trip. The car could be use! far sleep ing purposes while In Indianapolis, if de sired. and expenses while there could be held down to a minimum. 4 4 ***** 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, WANTS PULPIT BACK. 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. STUNG MAD. Three Hundred Valuable Cattle Plunged to Death. Bancroft. Neb.. Aug. 5. —J. McKeeg-an’s famous herd of short horn cattle, number - ng 300 head, was totally lost yesterday in a singular manner. The eattle were attacked by several swarms of wild bees, which occupy trees on the Missouri river bluffs. In their ter ror they jumped over the bluffs into the river and were either dashed’ to pieces or 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. THE MACON--NEWS. SENATORIO. BUM VMKNMS HELD He Says That the Soldiers Should not be Sent to Run Risks from Which Others are Withdrawn. AN UNNECESSARY SACRIFICE OF LIFE, He Says that Thev are Not Required for Fighting Purposes, and the Fact that a Majority of Them Are Georgians 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. AGUINALDO NOT KNAVE OR FOOL. Savs that the United States is Unfairly Keeping Him in tne Dark, New York, August s—The5 —The Journal prints a cable from Hong Kong purporting to give the text of the message sent by Aguinldo. the Philippine insurgent leader 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 the future has in store. “Now. my good friend, beliare me, I am not both a fool and a rogue. The inter ests of my people are as sacred to me as are the interests of your people to you.” WATERMELONS Will Be Enjoyed by the State Agricultural Society. Indian Spring, Aug. s—The Georgia State Agricultural Society meets here Au l gust 10 and 11, Large crowds are ex ■ peeted and everything will be done to I make ‘the convention pleasant.

There are 10 passenger trains a day through here, and with te tallyhos’ ca pacity of from 40 to 50, with from four to ten horses, add much to the pleasure of the visitors. They run to High Falls, J Jackson and Flovilla almost daily. The Great Holiness camp meeting be ! gins this year August 23, ami continues . through to September 3. The appearance of the camp grounds will be much !m --' proved by the addition of many new eot ’ tages. Dr. E. F. Walker, of Indiana, will be here, besides scores of others. The sing ing will be directed by Mr. Charles Till- , man, of Atlanta. Managers and friends of the eamp grounds are expecting the larg est crowd of any meeting. FAVOR JULIETTE AS A SITE, Prison Commission Will Not Say So but There is Good Reason to Believe It. All the prison commissioners were in the city yesterday and last night and they are in consultation and conference with Macon parties today. While the commissioners do not give out anything upon the subject they are evi dently engaged on business connected with the location of a she for the penitentiary. It is said on good authority that the com missioners are well pleased with the site i offered at Juliette Mills on the Southern Railway some forty miles above Macon and that they have about decided to locate the penitentiary there. They are. however, as mum as oysters on the subject, though they do not deny that it is a good site and compares very favorably with any in the state. At any rate they are going to see the site to , grther again and probably wil} be ready ! to make an announce mem in the near _ _ ; MACON NEWS FRIDAY AUGUST 5 1898. 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. BANK ROBBERS BLEW OPEN SAFE In a Small Town in Michigan Where Thev Secured Five Thousand Dollars. WiOEST UPON RECORD Threatened the Inhabitants Who Saw But Did Not Molest Them —Could Not Be Pursued. 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. feverTases AT SANTIAGO. Report Sent in to the War De partment Up to Yes terday.

Washington, August s—The5 —The president will call an extra session of both branches of Congress in the very near future unless a peace treaty shall fail. The Senate will ratify the treaty and Congress will legislate for the governmeut of acquired territory and amend statutes relative to the new army. Proba'blj’ 100,000 soldiers will fie needed permanently. New questions of territorial government must be settled and the ses sion does not promise to be a short one.

The arrival of -the civil guard in force sufficient to put them to flight saved the women. Gen. Blanco’s refusal to permit them to go to Santiago during -the fighting there together with an infusion of Carlists sym pathy, prompted by the distribution of a quantity of Carlist circulars, is said to have been the cause. A great many of the volunteers have been arrested, and Gen. Blanco has announced that they will be tried by court martial and severely pun ished.
