President and Secretarys Long and Alger in Conference this Worning. Washington, August 8. Secretaries Al ger and Long and Xttorncy General Griggs were In confer, nee with the president for an hour ami ending at 12:30 o’clock. \t the conclusion of the eoafe.'-nce it wm anneum. 1 that the official aot'llcation of Sp an's acceptance of our ie/cis had not been received. The president's expectation is that he will receive the formal acceptance early tomorrow I'be delay was accounted for by the tame required in transmitting the cipher in the several stagise via Paris. \t 2 o’clock this afternoon it was stated at the French embassy that the Spanish re ply had not been received. There ire no less than five translations, four of them jn cipher in transmission be tween Madrid am) Washington. I \fter the Spanish cabinet met last night th.- tesponse was reduced to Spanish ci pher arid trien sent to the Spanish ambas sador at P..r ls , Senor Castillo, by whom it M . to be deciphered and iran-lated in French. which CWtllo would deliver it to the b’r.Tifh foreign oin."' bt> ''educ ed to the Frem’ii cipher for traii.'‘ i U issi °n to the French ambassador here. These moves, including the work of the cipher code, calls by Castillos on the for eign oftie. at Par >. and the time required in cabling will take some eight or ten hours. Under the circumstances the impression prevail.d at official quarters that the re sponse would not be placed in the hands of the president until quite late today at the best, and more likely not before tomorrow The impression is growing in official quarters that the Spanish answer, while in 4he nature of a concession to the American demand. is not a brief and simple accep i.ufce without reservation or condition There is no dir.xt oftlcial advice on this point but all the pn ss idvii.s from Idadrid indicate the response document is of con siderable length, prepared with laborious fc’.ire and that it has several features which «uay not appear in the conditions presented »>y the Vr.it d States Whether an a c. ptar.ee of this character •will be regarded by the authorities here as eufficL-utly responsive to the American de mands is a matter welling much conject ure today. In some .quarters it is being, urged that so long as Spam accepts the Es sential pom’s of the principal rthnulred by the United States, the disposition here will be to deal with the defeated enemy in a generous spirit on minor details. It is probable that ti.is will be the view presented by the French ambassador in case the Spanish is not a simple eat egori. al acceptan. of the American terms On the other hand, it is believed the re sponse. which opens up diplomatic contro versy and gives the conditions a much broader scope than as originally framed at 'Washington, may not meet with approval here. For instance. Madrid adv ces seem to imply that the answer based on the imme diate cessation of hosillitiese. but the view ■among officials here is that hostilities will not cease on submission of a conditional re sponse. but will progress steadily until the American conditions progress entirely be yond the stage of possible diplomatic com plication over the details. There is -a strong disposition in some in fluential quarters to have hostilities con tinue until rhe actual evacuation of Cuba and Porto Rico begins by the embarkation of the Spanish troops.

OTHERS WERE BHAUSTED, But the New Ones Will be in Good Condition and Will Not Have to Undergo Hardship. Washington, August 8. —General Shafter has telegraphed the president regarding the publication of the “Round Robin,” signed by the general officers of his command, as follows: "I very readily see the intense excite ment the publication must have occasion ed —a great deal more than the situation warranted. The situation is greatly ag gravattd from the fact that before any men were taken ill they were thoroughly exhausted. At least seventy-five per cent of the command have been down with ma larial fever from which they recover very slowly. The regiment of immunes recently ar rived is not suffering at all and I don't be lieve they will. They can keep out of the sun, are well clothed and well fed. “'What puts my command in the present condition was the two days’ campaign when they had nothing but meat, bread and coffee, without a change of clothes, without any shelter whatever, and during a period twice as stormy as it has been since the surrender. “The fresh troops arriving here In the middle of August with good camps, good water and the abundance of tentage which they will find here, need not apprehend serious danger. “I thank you for the high regard in which you hold my command, and value the service they have rendered. It pays for all the suffering we have endured. “I have read this to Wheeler, Lawton, I Bates and Kent, who concur with me in the view expressed above.” POST D wTIF - ■ BOOM CARNIVAL And Will Take an Important Part in the Program- Good Meeting.

WONT DO IT AGAIN. Hobson Said that He Would Not Sink the Merrimac. Lieutenant Hobson’s visit to Atlanta is but a memory, but such a pleasant recol j lection that-people have not lost interest i in hearing of the entertainment given in | his honor. An Atlanta lady, whose is a ' close friend of Mrs. Atkinson and assisted ! jn receiving at the reception given at the executive mansion in hpnnr of the hero, writes this to a Maeon friend. “You should have been here last night at the reception the Army and Navy League gave to Lieutenant Hobson and his mother. • * • • » “It was the most gorgeous crush you can imagine and people estimated the crowd at the mansion, the yards, the piazzas and the streets in the immediate trout and side of the place, as fully numbering five thou sand. Hobson is a charming fellow, quiet unassuming and sensible, plainly showing by these qualities that he is really great, , in the best sense of the word. His mother is a dear old sold, and won qs a)l by (her old-fashioned sweetness and simplicity. "She nearly fainted from the heat and crush and we had to spirit her through to a rear room to let her rest and catch i her breath. People crowded in the win dows and fell over themselves in their ef forts to meet the man of the Merrimac, who had finally to go up stairs and get on the balcony where everybody could see him and hear him make his little speech. 1 shook his hand and told him I was pt. , tremely sorry he had sunk the Merrimac, since we all had to get in such a crush as this: it was wbrse than a football scrim mage and I said one had to suffer for doing ' a daring deed. He was very sweet about it and told me he would never do jt again, ' whereat I forgave him on the spot arid passed on.’ * ■ » * NEGRO SOLDIERS I ATTACKED JAIL.

Orr’s life was insured for $5,000, his wife was the beneficiary. DAN LAMONT’S CAR Run Into by a Freight, But No One Was Hurt. Seattle, iWash., August B—News8 —News has been received that the private car of Daniel La mont, vice president of the .Northern Pa cific railroad, was badly wrecked on the Seattle and International road, fifty miles from this city. Fortunately no one was hurt. While the passenger train to which the car was attached was standing on a trestle sixty feet high it was run into from the rear by a freight.

Fitzsimmon’s declaration that he (Corbett) will have to defeat Maher, Sharkey and other “dead ones,” as Corbett puts it, the ex-ehampion thinks is foolish and insincere. MAY MUSTER OUT SOME TROOPS.

There is still talk of an agreement with the Beil Telephone Company and the Ty son line from Macon to Savannah by which the two lines will operate mutually. It is understood the only bar to an agree ment is the requirement that the Tyson company shall use the Bell company’s in struments along its line. Inasmuch as the relations between the companies will only be to connect their lines at intervals for the convenience of patrons, and to remain entirely independent of each other, the Ty son company does not desire to use any of the property or equipment of -the other. The company has no objection to buying instruments outright from the Bell com pany, which would be a greater saving, but it is said that none will be rented. Wheth er this difference will interfere with the proposed arrangement enough to block the deal is not known, but. the great conven ience to the patrons of both companies will likely induce concessions that will bring about an understanding of some kind. The Tyson company has now conections established with Bloomingdale, Meldrim, Blichton, Arcolia, Statesboro, Summit, Graymount, Swainsboro. Stillmore, Cove na, Rentz, Rixville, Adrian.

He Accepted the Portfolio With This Understanding—Will Practice Law. New York, August 8. —A special to the Herald from Washington says: In connection with the probable selection of Secretary Day as one of the peace com missioners, it is stated that he will at an early date retire from the office of secre tary of state, and after concluding his la bors as a member of the commission, re sume the practice of law in Canton. Although tlhis is the first public an nouncement that Day intends to retire from public life, it has long been known to his most intimate friends that when he ac cepted the portfolio he did so with the un derstanding that he would resign the office immediately after peace had been restored between Spain and the United States. BOTTLE WAR Will Be Waged Between the Makers and the Men. Pittsburg, August B.—'Flint glass manu facturers are threatened with one of the biggest strikes in the history of the trade. The wage conference between the repre sentatives of the American Flint Glass workers’ Union and the American and Lime Glass Manufacturers’ Association opined in this city this morning. Each side piesented its demands. Between the two there is a difference of over 27 per cent. This is caused by the workers de manding advances in wages, basing their claims upon the assumption that all 'the propsperity talk they have been hearing from the manufacturers’ side for the past, six months Is true beyond doubt. The manufacturers commenced at once to talk fight. This did not embarrass the workers. The workers asked for a direct advance of 16% per cent and a restriction of production. COMMISSIONERS TO INSPECT SITES. Leave Today for Different Points and Will Decide in Two Weeks. The prison commission will start out to day on a tour of inspection of the different sites throughout the state that have been offered for the penitentiary. Each com missioner will take a different site and will inspect it under an agreement made between them, then If they find that the presence of the other commissioners is ad visable they will be summoned by wire. It is thought that in this way the different sites can be inspected at less cost and in a shorter time than by all of the commis sioners going together. The commissioners will not again inspect the sites at Juliette mills on the Southern near Macon, but it is thought that they will finally decide that It is the best site that has been off ere 1 them. The work of inspection will he completed in about two weeks and shortly after that time the commissioners will be ready to make the announcement as to the selection of a site for the state penitentiary. AMERICAN POLITICS Have Come With American Sovereignty on Island of Hawaii. Honolulu, July 26, via San Francisco, August B.—With Araericai sovereignty has come American politics. The annexation ists who for five years have fought unwa veringly for political union with the United States, have already begun to-split up, and party lines are beginning to apear. The Americai Union party has the only political organization which had direct and avowed representation in the last legisla ture. It will undoubtedly be the nucleus and the organization which will develop into the Republican party when the island politics shall be admitted to national poli tics. The Portuguese have a voting strength of about 3,000. How they will vote is a ques tion. It is admitted that their voting strength will be almost a determining fac tor in party supremacy. Whatever party succeeds in capturing the Portuguese vote, if any party can capture it at all. will have an excellent chance of being supreme in the islands. RAY’S REGIMENT IN SAVANNAH.

MEETING TOMORROW Os the Macon Navigation Company to Discuss the Building of the New River Boat. The steamer City of Macon now lying at her dock, has a new captain. Captain Miller has resigned and his place has been taken by Captain Ellis Hathaway. The resignation of Captain (Miller comes as a surprise. He has been in command of the steamer since she was launched and has made a number of most successful trips. The rea-son for the resignation is not givtn. but ii is understood /'.at Cap tain 'Miller has a better offer at another river point or at .Brunswick. He finds the river work somewhat monotonous and try ing on his health. Captain Hathaway, who will have charge of the boat on her down trip which com mences tomorrow, is himself an experi enced river navigator. The City of Macon will carry a large cargo to Brunswick and river points on her down trip. A meeting of the Macon Navigation Company will be held tomorrow when the question of the new boat to ply the Oc mulgee will be discussed. In the next, congress Hon. C L. Bartlett, the able and energetic congressman from the Sixth district, propose to make special efforts to get 'a large appropriation to be used in work on the Ocmulgee between Macon and Hawkinsville in deepening the channel and clearing it cf certain obstruc tions. Most of the appropriations that have been made by congress for the Ocmulgee have been applied on the stream*, belot Hawkinsville. Congressman Bartlett pro poses to have this changed, at least to the extent of having the river between Macon and Hawkinsville worked. IMPURE ICE. Mhat a Trade Journal Says of the Crusade Against It. ' The story in Saturday’s News relative to the attempted sale of lake or pond ice in Macon has aroused considerable inter est, and there Is already much opposition to the sale of impure ice in the city. The following is what a prominent trade Journal has to say of the crusade against Impure lake or pond ice in the North: The annual crusade against the use. of natural ice containing impurities has been carried on io a lively extent during the past month, and it will continue to be a vexed question in every city that has a board of health. Massachusetts, which has always been a leader in educational matters, foremost in its efforts to con demn tho use of impure ice as a menace to the public weal. Tn North Adams the local board appealed to the state board of health for an examination and .analysis. The engineers of the state board declared most of the sources whence the ice was obtained as dangerous, and some of the ice wholly unfit for consumption. From many other cities come similar reports Nor is this confined to Massachusetts. From all around one reads of warnings by the local health officer against the use of . ,-e har vested from this or that lake, or pond, or river, as the case may be. Cases of sum.- mer cholera, typhoid fever and almost in numerable gastric disturbances are traced to the use of impure ice. Os course it does not follow that all natural ice is imp ire— far from it. But enough of it Is impure to attach the element of risk to the use of natural ice for drinking or other con sumptive purposes. The artificial product Is directly under the control of the maker, and a perfectly pure article may always be obtained. It is the one source from which pure ice must come eventually. True, it is not necessary for people to eat Ice or to drink the water from it. The cooling effect may 'be obtained by placing the ice outside the vessel instead of -within it. But it is not what people might do. 1» is what they do do, that counts blgloney ’ For the Railroads ‘in Trans porting Soldiers to Mon tauk Point. The impression exists in railroad circles, and it is evidently based on advices from Washington, that Tampa will soon be en tirely abandoned as a camp, and that such of the troops as do not go to Porto Rico will be sent North to Montauk Point, the eastern end of Long Island. It is also (believed that soldiers are to be moved from Fernandina and from Lake land, both of which places have consider able troops, to Montauk. The Georgia Southern and Florida, Central railroad and the Southern are looking for a share of this business. Montauk is 1,450 miles from Tampa, where there are now probably five regi ments encamped A rate of 2 cents a mile is made for the transportation of troops, which would give about $lO for tach sol dier, qr for a full regiment about $150,000. There Is a charge for excess baggage, tout as each soldier is allowed 150 pounds, the aggregate allowance for the regiment of about 1:0. practically precludes any excess charges. The entire transportation expense on a regiment for the entire distance to Mon tauk Point, from Tampa, would be about 135,000. There would be no change of cars all the way through from Tampa to Jersey City, and the Plant System would, of course, derive some income from the use of its ears over the lines of the other com panies. To move three regiments would m.an an expenditure by the government for fares of ever SIOO,OOO. War is a costly necessity. CAPT. HUNTER HERE.
