Gen Man.. 366 Second Street, Macon, Ga ESTABLISHED 1884 PEACE PROTOCOL READY AND JILL BE SIGNED. Nothing Now Remains to be Done but to Arrange a Few Minor Details That Are of a Purely Formal Character, FULL ACCEPTANCE Os the Terms Laid Down bv the President Has Been Agreed to bv Spain. BEGINNING OF THE ENO. When the Protocol is Signed Thin Peace Commissioners Will be Appointed and Treaty Made Up. Washington, August 10 -An agreement ha, been reached on the protocol , nilbody ing the terms of peace between Spain and the United States. Secretary .Day at 1 o'clock made the fol lowing .-.t.tteini nt to the Associated I’re.-s: "We have agreed on a protocol embody ing the proposed terms for the negotiation of a peaet treaty including the evacuation of Cuba and Porto Rico and it is expected that this protocol will be executed.” it can )>e stated that the terms are .pre cisely those laid down by the president in the original note about a week ago. It is believed that nothing but a few formalities remain to lie disposed of t.o secure tiie signature of the protocol. Tlie statement of Secretary Day showed the events that had led up by logical steps to the agrei ment reached some time this after noon today on the terms of the pro tocol. conference between the president and the French an.b.is -ador at the White House last evening it is practically ad mitt. .1, w.i- not conclusive in all respects, but there was a ma"''esta.t ion of steadfast confident') in administration circles Xhat it s. . m-d to press an early engagement upon ti e basis of peace. The found i' : n this belief was af forded Al i'.i” > ii called at the state ; .' ii. ■■ lai in- the forenoon and it bc >in i0...w i 1 ih. ambassador was pre par. d to give a response to further in quiries that had been necessarily been put last night in relation to the Spanish posi tion. Although no definite statement could 'be obtained from any one acquainted with the details of the situation, it was surmised that the ambassador, having presented certain Spanish requests yesterday in con nection with the acceptance of the four bases of peace laid down bj the president had been authorized to modify or withdraw such of tlie.se additional representations as should prove unacceptable to the -United States. At any rate, when the ambassador ap peared at the state department and with Secretarj M. Thiehault was ushered into the diplomatic room there was a general belief among the officials of the state de partment that the prospect had bright: ned materially over night and that the cessa tion of hostilities at last was in sight. \s tai as can be gathered, our govern ment is not particularly concerned at the insistanee of the Spanish government upon the reference of the peace agreement in its present stag.' to the cones. Dur govern ment in dealing with another recognizes only th. executive .branch and holds that it is wholly responsible for all its acts or promises and it is probable our govern ment will not concern itself as to what further international steps will be neces sary to satisfy the sticklers for constitu tional observances in Spain." ANXIOUS AS TO ULTIMATUM. People at Colon Want to Know What New Vice Presi dent Will Do. Colon, via Galveston. August 10.—Tt fa learned from a reliable source that the Italian ultimatum demanding the payment of the Cerrutti claim, expires on August 13th. Anxiety as to the ultimate action of the new vice president, Senor Marroquin, and his cabinet, is daily increasing. It is re ported that the Italian warship. Carlo Al berto is at Cura coo. RECEIVER FOR BROWNS. President Muckenfuss Appointed On Appli cation of Bondholders. St. Louis. August 10—Judge Wood, of the circuit court today appointed President Muekenfuss receiver of the St. 'Louis Browns on application of the holders of the first mortgage bonds. DROPPED DEAD. Storekeeper on the Transport Minsewaska, Now in Savannah. Savannah, August 10.—John H. Lane, storekeeper on the United Statese trans port Minnewaske, dropped dead here to day. The troopship was waiting to carry the Third regiment of immunes to Santia go. He was fifty-five years okl, and the father of the captain of the ninth New York Police precinct WRECK OF MERCEDES. In Santiago's Harbor Boarded by Corres pondents. Santiago de t’utba. —(Correspondence ,by Mail.) 1 tie Rs'ina .Mercedes, which lies Ju t inside of the .Bay of Santiago, with her back turned, so to speak, on the Mer lin.a •. Is at this time a "demned moist, unpleasant body,” with only her decks and uppi r cabin out of water. On the day of th surrender of Santiago several news paper men went to see this chip, and row ed to her from the dispatch boats in small parties It was a race, indeed, for loot, more politely called souvenirs. The cor resimndents, like "Pitiless Pete, the Pi rate; or, the Crimson Curse of the Carib beans.” boarded the (Mercedes with yells, to find her almost as she was left the day of the fight. Even her colors had not Ibeen removed from the foot of the mast, where they were hauled after the surrender. There were coats and caps on deck, which had been left by the brave sailors, who raced ashore. The cabin had food in it and rich furn ishings, which will soon be decorating newspaper Hats in Harlem and other parts of God’s country. There were cutlasses and rifles, and novels that would paralyze Zola, and everything else that goes with a ship, ex cept the l men to man it. This ship, which looks like a converted merchantman as she now lies, will not need much repairing to make her float, but it is doubtful whether the government shall ever lift her for use again, as her engine s we re' known to be much worn, and her hull is old. TRAIN “ROLLS - DOWN BANK. A Number of Passengers In jured and One Perhaps Fatally. Middlerboro, Ky., August 10—'While the north bound train was coming from Nor ton, Va., it struck a landslide near Pen nington G ip and three coaches rolled down the embankment sixty feet. About twenty passengers were aboard, all of whom were more or less injured. Superintendent Logsdon, of the Cumber land Valley division of the Louisville and Nashville had a rib broken and was other wise bruised. Charles Perin, manager of the Watts Steel and Iron syndicate, was .badly bruis ed and W. W. Tinsley, of Knox county, and his son were considerably bruised. Tinley’s wounds may prove fatal. Several women were also hurt. MAY LEAVE CAMP THOMAS. Officers Detailed to Look Into Several Other Sites. Washington. August 10—The war de partment has under consideration .the es tablishment of army camps at Lexington. Ky.. Knoxville, Tenn., and Tryon, N. C. Army officers have been detailed and are now examining into suitable sites at each of these places. If the reports are satisfactory the camps will be established and orders issued di recting the various commands now at Cliii-kamauiga to .move to the new camps. PURE HAVANA. A Lot of Exceptionally Fine Cigars Secured by H. J. Lamar and Sons. It will be good news to the smokers of Macon to know that Messrs. IT. J. Lamar & Sons have just secured a lot of genuine Havana cigars. Since the outbreak of the war the smokers have been deprived to a great extent of the pure Havana foods and some of the biggest factories iu the country no lobger profess to put up the pure Havana article. Fortunately, however, Messrs. H. J. Lamar & Sons succeeded in securing this lot which is an exceptionally fine one and those who come first will be served first while they last, which, judging by the present rush will not .be long. MARINESHAVE LEFT GUANTANAMO. Transports Sailed lodav— Wrecking Companies After the Colon, Gauntanamo Bay, August 10.—The New ark, Scorpion, Suwanee and Resolute, with the marines, sailed this afternoon. The Badger and I. J. Merritt have arrived. The latter will proceed to the wreck of the Cristobal Colon. The Merritt-Chapman wreckers think ’he Maria Teresa is held in position by a rock through her bottom forward, but expect to haul her off soon. RESIGNATIONS Among the Officers of the First Regiment is Expec ei. News comes from Chickamauga of the probability of some resignations among the officers of the Macon companiese and in that event it is more than probable that the vacancies will be filled from the ranks, or rather^from among the non-commission ed officers. So far however this is only rumor, and no. hi ng has been officially given out, but it may be set down as a settled fact that some changes will be made and that res ignations .or at least one resignation mav be looked for. Now that the chance of active service is at an end the enthusiasm .has died down to a great extent and there is not the same anxiety among the men or the officers to remain and be sent at some indefinite time in the future to form a part of the army of occupation. , THE MACON NEWS. KNEW NOTHING Os THE DANGER i Sailors on Transport Fought Fire While Soldiers Slept. Will EXFERIEICES On the Open Sea—The Soldiers Knew Nothing Until the Ship Arrived in Port. New York, August 10. —A dispatch to the World from Manila Bay, August 4th, says that the third Philippine expedition is here, twenty-two days out from Honolulu Never did an expedition encounter more d-augeis or endure more perils. On the voyage six men and one office.' died and fifty more were taken sick. Ty phoid and meningitas played havoc on the transports. Two firemen went insane and leaped ■overboard. But fire was the worst peril of all. The dead at sea are: Ralph Bowers, of the signal corps of Los Angeles. Ernest Bowker, of the Wyoming battal ion. Frederick Buckland, of the Fifteenth Minnesota. R. D. Kerr, lieutenant of engineers, of West Virginia. Stephen R. Roddy, of the Twenty-third Infantry, of Dalas, Texas. W. D. Kelly, fireman, of San Francisco. John Stockville, fireman, of San Fran cisco. The transports and the convoy, Monitor and Montery, were three days out from Hawaii when fire was discovered aboa.'d the transport Morgan City. One of the crew reported to Captain Dil lon that there was a blaze in the coal bun kers. “Get out the hose,” was the reply of the captain. At midnight, when all the troops were asleep Captain Dillon assembled the crew and told them the news. Every man was pledged to secrecy. To let the soldiers know that they were over a raging fire would be to precipitate a panic. Silently the men coupled on the hose to the steam pipes and then they began battling the flames in the hold. The next morning the fire was as fierce as ever. Night and day the herioc crew fought the fire, but with little success, and still the troops aboard did not know the fire was burning beneath their feet. The Morgan City fell off in speed and the whole fleet was delayed. Captain Dillon did not signal the flag ship. He kept the men busy fighting the fire in the bunkers, while the troops went about on the deck all unconscious of their peril. The bunkers were still burning when the Morgan City arrived here. Then, for the first time, the troops learned of their danger. The flames were extinguished after the ship bad been in port a few hours. WILL MOVE THE CHAMBER. Directors Decided Yesterday to Move—Will Probablv be at Wing’s Old Stand. The directors of the Chamber of Com merce held their regular meeting yester day afternoon.

The directors are thinking of locating at Wing's old stand, just across the street from where they are now situated.

Bob Fitzsimmons Says He is Going to Kill Corbett. Asbury Park, N. J., August 10 —Trouble is brewing between Bab Fitzsimmons and James J. Conbeltt. When Fitz and his wife passed Corbett's place yesterday, Corbett claims Mrs. Fitzsimmons shook her fist at him and said: "Sorehead!” Fitz says the Corbett crowd raised an uproar and all be gan laughing as he drove by. Corbett called to Mrs. Fitzsimmons to send her monkey husband back to h'im. Corbett feels highly insulted. Fitz said yesterday that he would kill Corbett on the spot if he ever insulted his w'ife. He also said that he would have the third-rate fighter put out of the park, or put him out himself. There is every possibility that the two ipug'ilists will meet face to face on the street and have it out. NEW BOAT TO BE BUILT AT ONCE. Stockholders of the Macon Macon Navigation Com pany Met Yesterday. The stockholders of the iMacon Naviga tion Company held an enthusiastic meet ing at the Chamber of Commerce yester day afternoon. The question of building a new boat was brought up and discussed. Mr. George A. Smith, the president of the company, read a report of the work of the present boat which was very satisfactory to all the stockholders. Mr. I. B. Emglish, A. E. Chappel and S. R. Jaques made strong arguments in favor of a new boat. The argument of Mr. Eng lish was very strong. He said that he not only wanted one new boat but two and said that the boats could easily be built. After the matter had been fully dis cussed a committee was appointed to raise a sufficient amount to build a new boat. It will take $5,000 to build the boat and the company already has $3,400 on hand. As soon as the money is raised the work on the boat will commence and it is ex pected that the boat will be finished in two month’s time. As soon as the new boat is finished, the company will put on a regular schedule and one boat will leave here each week. The City of Macon left this morning at 7 o’clock in charge of the new master, Captain Ellis R. Hathaway. Following is the manifest: Four pianos, Georgia Music House; 6 cases of shoes, Dannenberg Company; 3 oases of shoes, Waxelbaum, Popper & Co.; 20 cases of lard, 1 box of beef, 4 cases of hams, (Armour Packing Company; 5 kegs of nails, Dunlap Hardware Company; 1 sack of meat, 4 sacks of meal, L. S. Wor sham & Co. Captain Hathaway expects to take on large shipments of barrel staves between here and Brunswick. The boat will prob ably arrive in Brunswick Monday. A large cargo is there now awaiting the arrival of the boat. Mr. Smith, president so the company, says that it will not be long before Macon will have a regular line of boats plying between here and the coast. WILL MAKE BOTTLES. Secret of the Cause of Pittsburg Trouble Among Workers. Pittsburg, Pa., August 10—It has been discovered that behind the determined ef fort of .the flint-bottle manufacturers to reduce the wages of the union workmen in that line in all the factories of the United States, there is a trust which needs but the addition of a few more details .to equip it for active trade operations. Thomas Park, the famous trust pro moter, organizer of the first -wire-nail combination and the present (American steel and wire company, has the matter in hand. He has obtained an option on all plants until October 1. The scheme, after buying up the plants, is to close those which are most expensive to operate, cur tail production, reduce wages and force an enhancement of selling prices. A syndi cate of bankers, the same that tendered support to the effort to extend the Amer ican Steel and Wire Company to encom pass every wire plant in the country, is back of the bottle trust with an immense amount of capital. The plants in the deal include most of those in Ohio. Pennsylvania and Indiana. MR. HICKS BETTER, Continues to Improve Every ' Day- Rested ' Quietly Last Night. The condition of Mr. J. R. Hicks, the stable man who was o badly injured by horse on Saturday last, continues to im prove. Dr. Gibson, the attending physician, stated this morning that the bleeding from i the ears had been stopped and that Mr. ; Hicks was resting quietly. He says that i Mr. Hicks will recover, but that it will be 1 some time before he will be able to be out. This will be good news to the many friends of Mr. Hicks, who have been some what uneasy about him for the past few days. BURDEN IS ON MEN O[ MACON Rediculous and Dishonest Effort Made to Misrepre sent The News. 10 OEFLECriDI OH HUES Os the Relief Association, but a Great Desire to Stir the Men Up to Their Assistance, An effort has been made to make it ap- ' pear to the ladiese of the Macon Relief As sociation that an article in the Macon News yesterday was intended as a reflec tion on the work of the Association and upon the ladies themeelves. The effort to create this impression is i the work of some unprincipled individuals who are as irresponsible as they are eare- I less of the good of the cause for vzhich so I much splendid work has been done by the ladies of Macon. It ought to be sufficient for The News to say that no such reflection was intended, and that no one in Maron appreciates mor* fully than The News the great good and the hard work that has been done by the ladies of Macon since the eomencement of the war. The individuals who would make it ap pear that The News has tried to cast the slightest reflection on the ladies of the Re lief Association care nothing for the ladies or their work. They simply desire to cre ate bad feeling and the effect of this miser able effort, if the ladies of the public gen erally attached the slightest importance or weight to the course of these people, would undoubtedly be to seriously affect the good work of the Relief Association. But, as a matter of fact, no one having investigated, attaches any weight to it and The News simply mentions it lest the misrepresenta tion of The News’ position should have reached any of the ladies through an au thentic source and without further enqui ry into the first instigator of the slander it should be acepted as true. The fact of the matter is that The News gave an interview with a most promi nent citizen who has contributed largely to the relief fund and who is as strong a friend as the Relief Association has in the city. He directly disclaimed in his in terview a desire to cast the slightest re flection on the ladies of the Relief Asso ciation and, on the contrary, took pains to state his admiration for their good work. The whole tenor of the interview and the purpose of The News in printing it was to try Lu arouse a more proper interest among the men of the community to the needs of the Macon soldiers now at Chickamauga. Tb - met ?f Macon should be ashamed of themselves. Complaint comes from the camp and frohi some of the best soldiers there that the boys are in need of many things that could be supplied by the Ma con people at a very small cost. They need more medicine and they need a hundred and should be sent to them by the Macon people. In the interview printed yesterday it was suggested that the men should not place the full brunt of the w'ork on the ladies, but that they should come forward spontaneously and offer their money and their assistance. It is foolish to say that The News should not draw attention to the needs of the Macon soldiers at Chickamauga. They do need many things and if the men, instead of mouthing about the reflection that The News is trying to cast on the .Eadies’ Relief Association, and who are dishonestly try ing to create a sensation so as t stir up bad blood, would come forward and tender their assistance with The News, they would appear in a better light before the com munity. It would be an easy thing for every man, young and old, in the city to contribute something towards the relief fund, not just one time, but regularly once a month. If the men would come forward like men and do this, the ladies would have a fund of several hundred dollars to distribute among the soldiers, and this money would place the boys on easy street. After all the wants of the Macon soldiers have been supplied, then the other soldiers could be given some assistance. The fact is that several hundred dollars are needed to give the Macon soldiers at Chickamauga what they want. The News wants to help the Relief Asso ciation and not to hinder it, and any per son who make an effort by innuendo or otherwise to represent The News as taking any other stand in this matter of assistance to the soldiers either at Chickamauga or anywhere else, has to little sense and too little honesty to deserve the notice of the public or of this paper. But ’the fact of the matter is The News wants the men of Macon to do more to help the ladies and it wants to see the Macon soldiers fully provided for before anyone else gets anything. TOOK POISOhT TO SAVE LYNCHING Mrs. Orr Died by Her Own Hand While Accomplices Were Being Hanged. Clarendon, Ark., August 10. —-When the sun rose this morning four dead bodies were hanging from the cross beams of Hal per’s saw mill as a result of last night’s | lynching bee, and in the coridor of the I county pail lay the body of Mrs. John T. i Orr, dead from poison administered by ' her own hand. | The victims of the mob were all negroes, as follows: Will Sanders, Manse Castle, Dennis Ri cord and Rila Weaver, a woman. The four negroes were charged with the brutal murder of John T. Orr, a prominent hardware merchant, and Mrs. Orr, the wife of the murdered man, was under ar rest for accessory. Excitement has been a fever heat for several days and last night at 11 o’clock I determined men began to gather in the , public square. No masks were worn and • when the mob numbered 300 an advance ■ was made on the jail. ! A demand was made upon Deputy Sher j iff Milwee to give up the keys, and he, af | ter some parleying, opened the cell doors, and the prisoners, -with the exception of Mrs. Orr, who was in a dying conditon, were taken into the open air. The woman, Rila Weaver, made a con fession, and without further delay the four prisoners were taken to the old saw mill on the outskirts of town and hanged. The coroner’s jury today rendered a ver diet that the deceased were killed by un- I known parties. CLAIMS AMPLE PROVOCATION, John Burns Says He Slew Hesley in Defense of His Home. LIVED FOR A FEW HOURS But the Dead Engineer Made No Antemortem Statement—Body Wil! Be Sent to Virginia. ' George W. H-eslep, of Macon, an engi neer o nthe Southern Railway, was shot by John Burns, a section hand on the Southern Railway at Sterling, eleven miles from Brunswick, yeser.day morning about 9 o’clock. Heslep lived about three hours after being shot. Burns was captured and was placed in the Glynn county jail, where he is now held. Burns, being interviewed at the jail at Brunswick, gives out the following state ment : ‘‘Today when I was at work near Ster ling, I need some tools from the house. The northbound freight had just come in and was on the sidetrack. I walked up to the house and noticed that all the doors were closed. I walked around the house and into a room adjoining my own. When 1 entered the room I heard a noise in my bed room, and not knowing what it was, 1 looked through a crack. The sight I saw set me crazy. In my house, and in my bedroom, was my wife, whom I thought was as pure and as virtuous as any woman that ever lived, and a man whom I had never seen before. “I stepped to my drawer and took out my pistol, walked out of the house and around to my bedroom window close to where they were lying and commenced to shoot. The man jumped up and put hie hand to his hip and hollowed, ‘Lord.” ‘‘My wife ran out into the woods and I did not see her for a long time. I have two children, one three and the other one year old, and the shooting scared them. I put up my pistol and went to my babies to quiet them, and after a while my wife came back. She begged me to come to her and I told her to go away; that she had done something which made me ashamed of her; that made God ashamed of her, and that would make my children ashamed of her when they grew older. ‘‘l was so hurt that I did not know what to do and she was crying all the time. I told her we could not live together any longer, and asked her if she did not know what the preacher said when we were married about being true to one another and let no one put us asunder. She begged me to forgive her, but I told her that I could not. She begged me to send her to her parents, and I told her I would. She was a Miss Florence Murray, of Emanuel county, and I married her when I lived in Washington county. “Today before this happened if a man had told me my wife was not good I would not have believed him, and only last night I told a young man who said he wanted to marry but was afraid of women, that if he could get as good and pure a woman for his wife as mine was he should not stop for anything but take her and go to the preacher. “1 never was in such trouble before and I do not know hat to do with my little children. They have got me locked up in this iron place and I cannot get to my children. Please ask some of the good, re spectable people who know me to see that my little boy and girl are taken care of, for they are all I have got and I do not want them to suffer.” Another engineer on the Southern says Heslep’s engine was on the siding at Ster ling waiting for the passenger train going South to pass and that he was sitting on a cross-tie near his engine talking to Mrs. Burns, who was sitting on the steps in front of her house. Burns, who had been down the road at work, came home after something, and seeing Heslep talking to his wife, he grew terribly angry and began shooting at Heslep. He fired four shots, the first three flew wide of their mark, but the last one took effect, striking Heslep in the right side and passing entirely through his body. Heslep fell forward to the ground and did not say a word. The train crew rushed to him and placed him in the caboose, and he was carried to Everett City to the doc tors, but it was too late. He died yester day about 12 o’clock. The remains of the dead man were brought to Macon at 2:05 over the South ern. Heslep was very popular and was liked by all who knew him. One of his friends said this morning that if Heslep had an enemy in the world he did not know it. Heslep was a member of the Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers, a Mason and Knight of Pythias. His remains will be taken to Fayette ville, Va., his old home, where his rela tives reside. An escort from the Brotherhood of En gineers will accompany the body. IMPERIALIST Is McKinley, According to a Close Friend in Wash ington. New York, August 9 —The Herald pub lishes the following: “According to a close personal friend of President ’McKinley and a man in high official station in Washing ton, these are the president's views as to the ultimate results of the war: “1. Puerto Rico to become a possession of the United 'States. "2. Cuba to be held under a protecto rate, with a view of ultimate annexat'Jn. “3. Manila and the island of Luzon to pass into the control of the United States, as Hong Kong is under the control of Eng land. "4. One of the Ladrone Islands to be an nexed to the United States. “So far as Puerto Rico and the Ladrones are concerned, it is pointed out that the program is fulfilled by the terms of peace with Spain. The same terms prepare the way for the execution of the remainder. President ‘McKinley’s friends say he has become an enthusiastic ‘imperialist’ since the war began, and that he has no fear of the result of extension of territory.” THE BEST REMEDY FOR FLUX.
