Everything Was Done to In duce the Cubans to Sur render Quietly. THU WANTED MORE TIME But the Request Was Refused and the Bombardment Was Very Promptly Commenced, Washington, August 18 —The war de partment has received the following: .Manila, August 13—On the 7th instant in wey joined me in a forty-eight hour notification to the Spanish commander to remove non-combatants from the city. i "(in tlie same date a reply was received expressing thanks for the humane sen timents and stating that the Spanish were without places of refuge tor the non-com batants now within the walled town. "On the 9th a joint note was sent in viting their attention to the suffering in store for the siek and non-combatants in case it became our duty to reduce the de fenses and also setting forth the hopeless condition of the Spanish forces, surround ed on all sides by a fleet in front with no prospect of reinforcements, and demanded the surrender as due to every considera tion of humanity. "On the same date we received a reply admitting the situation, but stating that the council of dtfense declares that the request for surrender cannot be granted, but offered to consult the government if the time was granted, necessary for com munication via J long Kong. "A joint note was sent in reply declin ing. "On the 13th we joined with the navy in an attack witli the following result: After about half an hour accurate shelling of the Spanish lines, McArthur's brigade on the right and Green’s on the left under Anderson made a vigorous attack and car ried the Spanish works. "Tlie loss is not accurately known, about fifty in all. "The behaviour of the troops was excel lent. The co-operation of the navy was most valuable. “The troops advanced rapidly on the walled city upon which a white flag was shown and the town capitulated. "The troops will occupy Malate, Binondo and the walled city of San Miguel. All and the walled city of SaniMigruel. All important centers are protected. Insur gents will be kept out.

(Signed) Merritt.” PRESIDENT’S ORDERS To Merritt Say Insurgents Must Keep Out of Manila- Washington, August 18.—The war de partment made public the order sent to Merritt last evening regarding the occupa tion of the city of Manila by the Ameri can forces. It is as follows: "Merritt, Manila—The president directs that th< t e be no joint occupation w ith the insurgents. The United States is in pos session of Manila city, Manila bay and the harbor. You must preserve the peace and protect persons and property within the territory occupied by their m lltary and na val forces. The insurgents and all others must recognize the military occupation and authority of the United States. A cessation of hostilities has been pro claimed by the president. Use whatever means in your judgment Is necesasry to this end. All law-abiding people must be treated alike. "Ry order of the secretary of war. “Corbin.” The president cannot be misunderstood am! the insurgents are to be kept out of Manila and the city bay and harbor are to be held as American possession. The prob ability of an attack by the insurgent forces has been considered, but as the insurgents, with the bay in i>ossession of Dewey for three months and the American troops near the city for a month, were unable to cause a surrender of rhe city, it is not believed that they would be very formidable against Merritt. REGIMENT MUST PAY For the Destruction of the Home of a Negro Near San Francisco. San Francisco. Aug. IS.—The investiga tion by Gen.

ICERVERA WILL BE LAST TO 00 The Spanish Admiral Has Not Made Any Application to Heave as Yet. ONLY ONE RELEASE GRANTED. The Old Naval Surgeon, Who is Very Feeble, Allowed to Go Home. Washington, August 18.---Cervera will not return to Spain for the present and ' the reports from Annapolis stating that he ' would leave for Washington today are ‘ said at tlie navy department to be due to a ; misapprehension. , The admiral has made no application to leave, and it is believed he will be the last of the Spanish to go home, as he has shown a fatherly regard for all the officers and : men and appears to be desirous of seeing j them on their way homeward before he ! leaves. j The navy department has not taken up the question of finally disposing of the Spanish prisoners although it has passed upon one or two special cases in which the I circumstances made speedy action neces sary. One of these was the case of Dr. Jurada, the venerable Spanish naval surgeon, held with the other Spanish prisoners at An- I napolis. Jurada is very feeble and the de | partinent directed his release, and the I chaplain will be allowed to accompany him. SUMTER WENT AGAINST LIQUOR. The Town Has Been in the Grasp of Whiskey for Sixty Years. Americus, Aug. 18.—Sumter county went into the prohibition column yesterday af ter the hottest election ever witnessed here, and for the first time in sixty years ri d liquor is turned down, and the county goes dry by 88 votes. The campaign lias been red hot for five weeks, and the registration was the larg est in years, more than 3,400 voters quali fying for the election. Though rain poured all day, scores of ■ladies staid near the polls and encouraged the voters for the prohibition side. Many whisky houses had agents here, and noth ing was left undone to carry the day for whisky. Eight country precincts gave a plurality for prohibition, and at the city precincts the race was very close in a vote of 1,200. There is no likdihood of a contest, as the whisky men concede defeat. The white vote of the county was overwhelmingly for prohibition, while many negroes like wise voted the dry ticket. The victory was announced by the ringing of church bells tonight, though the city is quiet and there ia no excitement whatever. CLAIM FOR DAMAGES. Mr. W.

NO BOND ISSUE IS NECESSARY. The Present Revenue Act is Sufficient for All Needs of Government. lItOME fflflf SUFFICIENT To Meet Expenses and to Provide for Large Expenditure for De fenses in the Future. Washingon, August 18. —In the opinion of the officials of the treasury department, there will be no necessity for another bond issue growing out of the war, and that the present revenue law, with slight modiflea ■tions, should be retained on the statute books for an indefinite period. The following may be taken as the views of the treasury department on these sub jects: “It may be confidently hoped that no further issues of bonds will be necessary in connection with bringing the extraordinary war t xpenses to a close. "With the treasury well supplied for the early future and with powers conferred on the secretary to make temporary loans to the extent of a hundred million dollars if required, any further resort to bond issues seems a most remote probability. "This view is reinforced by the fact that with the operation of the new’ excise and stamp taxes the revenues of the govern ment largely exceed the disbursements based upon ordinary peace conditons-. This increase in the revenue ought to and will provide for the increase in the war and navy expenditure, which, no doubt, will be witnesesd even after active military opera tions are terminated.” WORK TO COMMENCE On New Boat Soon —A Race From Hawk insville to Macon. The work on the steamer which is to ply between Macon and the coast will probably begin in the next few days. The commit tee appointed to solicit subscriptions has almost succeeded in securing the necessary amount. The most prominent merchants in the city are interested in the new movement and have contributed to the stock. The City of Macon will probably leave Bruns wick today with a large cargo. It is ex pected that the boat will make the trip up the river in six days and if this is done it will be the quickest trip ever made from here to the coast by water. The owners of the boat are well pleased with the new captain and he is surely making the boat a record (breaker when it comes to speed. The last trip to Bruns wick has excited the admiration of all the boat owners and it is probable that a race to Brunswick from HawkinsvTle will be held soon. FOUND~BILLS~ AGAINST SPORTS. Grand Jurv Will Probablv Adjourn bv This Evening. The grand jury which was expected to adjourn by non today will not adjourn un til some time this evening and perhaps to morrow.

It is understood that this jury has found a number of true bills against the sporting fraternity. Yesterday five or six of these were handed down. Some of the officers of the justice courts have also received the attention of the jury. DETAIL ARRIVES From Chicamauga to Take Soldier Pris oners Back. The detail which was sent from Chicka mauga after the prisoners who are being held here on the charge of leaving the camp without permission, arrived in the city this morning on the Central train. The detail is in charge of Regimental Ad jutant Miller White. The detail is composed of Corporal Wal ter Herrington and Private Plunkett, both of Macon.

Bell’s men are completely worn out, having been on duty continuously since 'Monday night. They will leave Saturday forChiekamau ga with the men. The men say that they are glad to see Macon once more. The men who will be caried back will be tried and will probably be sentenced to the guard house for a few days and will prob ably be fined $lO each.

CALL MELTING THISJVENING, Property Owners in the Pa ine: District Will Meet at Chamber of Commerce. STRICTLY BUSINESS MEETING In Which the Property Owners Are Interested as It Is a Question of Dollars to Them. The property owners in the paving dis trict of Macon will meet this afternoon at 4 o'clock in the Chamber of Commerce. It was thought at first that it would be best to hold the meeting on Saturday af ternoon, but second thoughts are best and the meeting has been called for this even ing. Written notices have teen sent cut to every property owner in the paving dis tract and in addition to this they were no tified in person this morning. The mayor and council have also been asked to be present. Mr. Henry Horne, speaking of the meet ing this morning, said that he had no in tention of indulging in personalities at this meeting, which he said was not called in a spirit of antagonism as seemed to be the general impression. He had. he said, gone before the property owners who had signed petitions asking for asphalt and had repeated their petition again when they found that there was a probability that council would not give them the material they wanted. Mr. Horne says that he also went to council with a proposition that would greatly reduce the cost of paving of the street with asphalt as against other ma terial, but could get no consideration for ■any proposition he might have to make and consequently the only thing he could do was to go to the property owners and getting them together, tell them just what he proposed and how they could save money. “It is simply a business meeting that I have called,” said Mr. Horne. It has neith er a political nor a personal aspect. “I propose to tell the property owners in the paving district where they can save some money. “I will reduce the bid made by the as phalt company to less than $2 a square and guarantee the pavement for the next fifteen years, with a further contract to keep the street in repair for six cents a square. “This must have the effect of reducing the price to be paid for either brick ar stone, should the property owners want either of these materials, or it will result in the selection of asphalt for the remain der of the streets to be paved.” Mr. Horne will also offer to pay the ex penses of a committee to go to Savannah to inspect the asphalt laid down there and report back as to the advisability of using that material. “I want one fair-minded citizen repre sentative of the property owners, one Mul berry, Second streets, Cotton avenue and Third street to go to Savanah and investi gate for themselves. If they decide against asphalt, then I have nothing more to say, but their report in favor of asphalt, coupled with the petition of the property owners should be sufficient to induce council to act in favor of that material. • went into the paving matrflal con test in good faith,” said Mr. Horne. Now I have nothing to make while the property owners can save money for themselves and at the same time get as good a pavement as is to be found in any city. “I have been simply ignored by council for what reason I do not know. If this matter and question were one of personal gain to me and nothing more, it would be a different thing; but it is not. I am anx ious now to see the material I represent aderted and lam determined th it the prop erty owners shall see that I have acted in good faith by them and for the best inter ests of Macon,” MRS, CARR'S FUNERAL. Took Place this Mon ing from Her Mother's Residence. The funeral of Mrs. E. W. Carr was held this morning at 10:30 from the residence of her mother, Mrs. Shinholser.

The lawn party which was to have been given tonight at the Mt. de Sales academy has been postponed on account of the in clement weartier.

BURNS' WIFE SAM LIED Gives an Entirely Different Account of the Killing of Engineer Heslep. WAS INSANELY JEALOUS Os Her, and After He Had Killed Heslep He Returned to the House and Beat Her. Mrs. William S. Burns, nee Misa Flor ence Murray, wife of t'he slayer of Engi neer Heelep, denies most positively the story told by her husband regarding the unfortunate affair. The Brunswick Times says: Mrs. Burns is still at Sterling, awaiting the means to carry her back to her people near Lyons, and she avows that the shooting of Heslep was entirely unwarranted by the facts in the case. She saytt that Heslep had called before, wmn —ants was sick, to inquire after his maim, and that on t'he morning of the killing he left 'his engine and walked to the cottage, which is only about 40 or 50 feet from the siding, and asked now Burns was. Afterward he asked for a drink of water and she stepped back to the pump to get it for him, telling him at the same time not to enter the 'house, as she knew how jealous her husband was and did not want to give him any reason for an outbreak As she stepped back to get the water she says that Burns fired at Heslep through ■the window, the bullet striking him from the rear, just as he entered the doorway Heslep turned to escape when Burns fol lowed and continued firing until his pistol was emptied. He then went back, accord ing to t'he story told by a near neighbor, and began abusing his wife in t'he most cruel manner. The neighbor, a well-known lady, went to the scene and compelled him to desist. It was at that time that his wife cried out to him that if he was going o kill her to do so at once and not beat her to death She is a fragile and delicate little wo man who will not weigh a hundred pounds, and all t'he neighbors attest to her quiet and modest conduct during her stay at 'Sterling, and assert that she avoided men on every occasion, partly from innate dif fidence and partly because of the insane jealousy of her husband. Mrs. 'Burns further asserts that another railroad man, intimate with Burns, put him up to do the job and that it was his pistol with which the fatal shooting was done. Mrs. Burns says she never left the house as stated by 'Burns, but remained after he had beaten her and kept the children at home instead of abandoning them, as ■Burns asserted on the day of the killing. Mrs. Clark, at whose house Burns claims' to have left his children, denies that part of the story, although after his arrest she offered such shelter and comfort to the un fortunate woman as lay in her power. According to the story told by the wife the outlook is not very 'bright for Burns, who is said to have been so jealous of his wife that he would not even let hefr go to church and vnade her life a misery. For the same reason she claims she scarcely ever visited the stores or places of public resort about the town. WILL SHIP SUPPLIES TODAY. The International Brotherhood League Will Make Large Shipment. The International Brotherhood League will make a large shipment of supplies to the headquarters in New York tomor row. The ladies of the league tire busy today packing boxes and getting them ready for shipment. It was intended to ship the supplies yesterday, but it was impossible to get the things ready. The League has secured a number of contribution boxes and are having them placed at t'he different stores in the city. The boxes are made on the same order as the army canteen and are nickle plated. They are decorated in the national colors, red, white and blue, and are very pretty They are of the same dze as the army canteen and have been made large enough to hold a large sum of money The officers of the League report that the organiza tion is in a flourishing condition and that they are making large shipments to the suffering people in Cuba. A large cargo of medicines, food, clo thing and other things will be shipped to Cuba next month.

The board of directors of the Public Li brary will meet in the library parlors this afternoon at 6 o’clock and important busi ness will be transacted. The committees appointed at the last meeting will make their reports. The committee which was appointed to arrange with the foot bail team will ni?ke a report to the effect that the team will play this season for the benefit of the library. The committee will also suggest the idea of organizing an athletic association and making it a permanent thing for the library. The idea is to have teams of all kinds to represent the library. Any mem ber of the library can become a mem ber of the athletic association, but nobody can be a member of the athletic associa tion who is not a member of the library. The committee which was appointed to investigate the advisability of having the Chautauqua will render a favorable report, at least this was what President George Smith said this morning. Mr. Smith said that all other towns of the state had chautauquas and that he saw no reason why Macon could not have one. He said that the library should be at the head of everything which pertained to education and that the Chautauqua would be a great thing for Macon. If the committee reports favorably on this Ques tion President Smith said that the Chau tauqua would probably be held next spring. It is thought that as the carnival’asso ciation is going to have fireworks here during the carnival ‘that the committee wb. -a was appointed to investigate the idea of having fireworks here during the carnival will report adversely. The present board of directors are doing everything in their power to assist the library and are meeting with great success.
