REVIEW OF SHIPS Will Take Place on Saturdav Sampson’s Proposed Movements. kN ashington, August 19—Final orders to day were sent to Sampson relative to the naval parade at New York. On Saturday the ships will proceed to anchorage at Tompkinsville and there await the arrival of .Mayor Van Wyck and a delegation of citizens who are to bo aboard the flagship and deliver an address to Sampson and the men of his command. The ceremony will occur .before 10 o'clock as the orders contemplate to start up the North river at that hour. The salute at the tomb of Grant will be a national salute of twenty-one guns. Sampson will probably come to Wash ington in the early part of next week, but no orders have been issued concerning his movements. It is understood that he will continue to command the North Atlantic fleet while serving as a member of the military fun mission at Havana. It is more likely the commisssioners will proceed together on a warship, probably the 'Dolphin. In that event the Dolphin would be the admiral's flagship tempora rily.

NEW FEATURE OF HESLEP KILLING. Railroad Men and Masons Are Tryingto Clear His Name From Reproach. There is a sensational feature to this killing of Engineer Heslep which is now for the first time beginning to show up. and it is liable to get some one in serious trouble before the matter gets out of the courts. R seems that stories are being freely circulated that a man who had a grudge of his own against Heslep concocted a plan to put Burns in a bad humor against the man he afterward killed, and even went so far as to tell Burns of Heslep’s being at his home and giving Burns a pistol to go to the house with. This fea ture of the ease is being fully investigated, and if the rumors Drove true, it may yet be proven that whatever Heslep’s connec tion with Mrs. Burns was, he was after all made the victim of another man's personal ■ll will. The railroad people are wrought up over the killing of Heslep. and in ad dition to that. Masons and other secret or ders are at work and determined to clear up the mystery surrounding Heslep’s a charge is not true. Burn's friends are shooting. Thev will clear his memory of the damaging charge of despoiling a man's -fTv; become convinced that such U «s , UK ‘° placing the utmost confidence in the story he gave out on the night of the tragedy, and say thev will seee that he gets justice. The statement made by Burns at the ..me o. the killing was in effect that he accidentally found Heslep and Mrs Bums on his bed in a eomnromtsing posi tion and became so crazed at the sie-ht he shot him. Witnesses who saw He-lep running immediately after the first , h ot was fired corroborate Mrs. Burns's testi- in so far as their statements go. THE MACON NEWS. AWFUL DISGRACE ON AMERICANS. The First and Fifth Immunes Committed Horrible Out rages at Santiago. COL RAY'S REGIMENT THERE And Will Behave In a Different Manner—General Wood Com pliments Yancy Carter. A special cablegram to the Constitution is as folows: Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 18—Col. Pat rick Henry Ray’s regiment of Third Uni ter States Volunteers came to anchor in the harbor this morning and during the afternoon the work of disembarkation be gan. The first company to form on land was that of Capt. Yancey Carter, which he immediately put in motion for the place where it passed in review before General Wood, who warmly complimented Captain Carter on the appearance of his men. Capt. Edward Wilson’s company was not allowed to take a rest, but was imme dlatly inarched out to Siboney, where its duty will be to protect the citizens against the ravages of Cuban outlaws. The whole regiment is in excellent con dition, having suffered no casualty' on the trip. Eight Spanish troopships are here to convey 15.000 troops to Spain. The Span ish prisoners are a pi table looking lot of men and their ranks are being decimated by disease. The outrages which have been commit ted in Santiago by the Second and Fifth volunteer regiments surpass description. The two regiments appeared to be without control or discipline and broke ranks shortly after reaching the city, going through from house to house, committing robbery, rape, arson and murder. The frightened Spanish and Cuban women fled in terror before these infuriated flends, who ran them down, committing unmen tionable crimes. General Wood is highly indignant over the disgrace which has been placed on American arms. Os all the atrocities which have been charged to the Spanish troops during their occupation of the island none could have exceeded the terrible 'brutali ties which have been committed by these two regiments. 'Col. Ray says that his men will show a different record, because they are better men and they are under perfect discipline. IMPROVEMENTS WILL BE MADE On the Ocmulgee River —Congress May Make An Appropriation. Mr. George A. Smith received a telegram from Capt.

The boat has on board two tons of shot, six hundred sacks of salt and num erous other articles for the Macon mer chants. Mr. smith received a letter this morning from Capt Cassius Gillette of Savannah stating that congress would probably ap propriate a sufficient amount at its next session to clear the river of shoals and snags. petition Tor" BANKRUPTCY Was Filed In Commissioner Erwin’s Office Yes terday Afternoon. A petition for voluntary bankruptcy was filed in Commissioner Erwin’s office yes terday afternoon by Judge Allen Fort for John H. Rogers, of Americus. Rogers was a prominent dry goods mer chant and in his petition he states that he owes debts and is unable to pay them and prays to become a voluntary bankrupt un der the new act. His liabilities will amount to many thousand dollars and his assets are very small. His only personal property is a cemetery lot and that is valued at a very small amount. The amount owed the secured creditors is very small while the amount owed to unsecured creditors will go into the thou sands. Rogers was a one time a prominent dry goods merchant of Americus and for awhile had a flourishing busines. But he met with reverses and thought it best t<J file a bankruptcy petition. The referee, who is Mr. Shelby Myriek. has made no decision in the case as the papers have not yet been sent to him. The papers will be forwarded to him tomorrow and his decision will be given out in a few days. WHAT SAVANNAH SAYS.

INVESTIGATION OF MING Was Started Yesterday At a Meeting of the Prop erty Owners. MB. HOfINE MAKES CHARGES. He Will Invite a Committee to Go to Savannah—They, In Turn, Will Invite Others. The meeting of property owners within the paving district of Macon called for yesterday evening by Mi. Henry .Horne, resulted in the develpomeiit of some mat ters of interest to those present and to the ■public generally. About fifty people were present repre senting fairly well the interests in the paving district. Mr. Horne made a lengthy statement to the property owners in which he outlined his efforts to secure the adoption of as phalt paving in ’Macon. He was in no sense of the word sensational in his state ment but simply went into the matter as a business proposition. What interested the tax payers however, was hisoffer to re duce the bid of the asphalt company from $2.18 cents a square yard to $1.93. This he said he was able to do because he had authorized the company to strip the pro posed of all commissions which he was to have received as a result of se curing the contract and for the further reason that the company now that the war is ovejr was able to secure cheaper coast wise fates for their material from Cali fornia. 'He’intimated in his statement that in addition to his commissions there were others which might be stripped and now the public is asking what paving would really cost if all contracts were stripped of all commissions. iMr Horne offered to pay the expenses of a committee to go to Savannah to in spect the asphalt paving that has been done here by the company he represents. If, he said, this committee decided against asphalt then in view of the fact that from seveny-five to ninety per cent of the prop erty owners wanted asphalt he thought that in the paving of other streets the contracts should be re-advertised so as to give the brick and stone people an oppor tunity to go under his contract of $1.93 or the contract should 'be awarded at that figure or otherwise the property owners would be forced to pay twenty-five cents a square yard at least more for paving than it could be done for and then not get the material they wanted. This means a saving or a loss to the property owners of something like $12,000. ■Mayor Price was present at the meeting. \\ hen Mr. iHorne had completed his state ment he asked permission to say a few words. He produced a large number of postal cards on which a canvass of the property owners had been made in order to find out what material they wanted. The cards showed a wide diversity of opin ion on the subject. The mayor said that in view of the conflicting views of prop erty owners and the known unreliability of petitions council had proceeded to adopt the material which they thought best. “For myself,” said Mayor 'Price, “I am prepared to give the people what they want. We will give them asphalt on Mul berry street” Mr. Horne asked if they would grant it also on Cotton avanue and Second street, ■but on this the mayor declined to commit himself. Mr. Horne pointed out that the postal card canvass had been made prior to t fir time blds were asked for on asphalt and that the people at that time had no idea what asphalt would cost. Mayor Price said that he did not believe that a good asphalt could be laid for $1.93 a square yard and produced newspaper clippings from New Orleans newspapers showing that the company which Mr. (Horne represents had failed to get the contract there where they bld $2.64 a square yard. Mr. Horne said that in that contract the cost of making combinations and of the payment of commisions some of which went to the city officers had been figured in the pointed out that asphalt paving under the closest specifications was -being done in Washington, D. C., for $1.54 a square yard and at Baltimore, Md , for sil.€”. a square yard. The outcome of the meeting will be that the committee will fee appointed today to visit Savannah under the proposition made by Mr. Horne. What will follow it would be hard to say, but the probability is that some asphalt will be laid if the committe reports favorably on the work of the company as it is hard to see how council can continue to pay $2.08 for brick and $2.54 for stone when the work can be done well for $1.93. Mr. Horne said this morning: “I will request a representative of The News and the Telegraph and the following citizens to visit Savannah to Inspect our pavements there: H. T. Powell, G. M, Davis. B. L. Jones and Claude Estes. The committee on investigation will request Messrs. I. Hardeman, Dupont Guerry and C. B. Willingham to accompany them. If either of them cannot serve they will ap point some one else. “Bear in mind this fight is not commit’ ting property owners to any class of ma terial but to see that what they do want is given them at the lowest possible price. “I regard Mayor Price’s statement as to his ipostal unfair since they were sent him before the public had any idea as to what asphalt would cost and what guarantee would be made and since they have had the Information, their present petition is the one that should command respect and attention. "The price of the material has nothing to do with the quality when the specifica tions are compared with guarantee made and bond given for compliance the mayor and council have no right to question our work, their duty ends when we comply with their specifications and the respon sibility of good work rests with the city engineer, who is competent to see the work is faithfully carried on. “Conditions that exist in different cities control the price and asphalt paving in the West is being done today at a cost of $1.35 per square yard on account of nearest of cities getting such low price to the as phalt deposits, freight rates making the difference. “Baltimore and Washington the last contracts were made at $1.53 and $1 65 per square yard." “The asphalt trust is dead and the Alcatraz Company did the deed and the public should foster and encourage their ’ efforts to give them the best asphalt pave- ; meats at the least possible cost.” " Buoklin’* Arnica Salve The best ealve in the world for cuts bruises, sores, ulcers, salt rheum, fever scree, tetter, chapped hands, -chilblains, corns, and all skin eruptions, and posi tively cures pile® or no pay required.

I He Created An Opportunity For Sensation By Saving He Swallowed Glass. HOT BELIEVED IT THE Jill That He Did Anything of the Kind —Slept Well Last Night and Eat a Hearty Breakfast. Some excitement was caused at the jail last night when Abner .Taylor, the wife murderer, announced that he had swallowed pulverized glass with suicidal intent. Di Johnson was called in at once and began working on Taylor, but as he did not seem to be very sick the doctor held up awhile to await results. Nothing fur ther developed and as Taylor got better the doctor went home. There is no proof of the fact that Tay lor swallowed glass except his own state ment, and no one saw him do it. The lamp chimney was broken but that does not show that Taylor swallowed any por tion of it. Jailer Stephan says, however, that Tay lor seems determined to commit suicide. He says that he took five capsules of qui nine last week thinking that it was mor phine and that he has tried to bribe the trusties to buy him poison. Nobody at the jail seems to think that Taylor swallowed glass as he slept soundly last night and eat heartily this morning and a man who had taken glass would be sure to be in pain. •He has been placed In a cell to himself and is not allowed the freedom of the cor ridor. He seems to take this solitary con finement to heart and was in a very gloomy mood this morning. The jailer thinks that he will have trouble with Taylor if he is sentenced to be hung. He thinks that Taylor will attempt to commit suicide. Taylor has been a great deal of trouble lately and has been attempting to play crazy. It is understood that he will be tried on a writ of lunacy and many people think that he is trying to feign madness. Taylor is a weak specimen of humanity. Physically and mentally he Is apparently a weakling but there is not the slightest evidence of lunacy about him (He is evi dently a morose creature, full of low. cun ning and utterly unable to appreciate the morality of the offense he has committed. That he would commit suicide, however, if given an opportunity there can be no doubt. He has before him the example of his brother who died by his own hand in the lonely swamp while surrounded by a posse seeking to arrest him for a murder as cowardly as was that of Ab Taylor’s when he slew his wife. Ab Taylor himself attempted suicide rather than submit to capture and it is a certainty that if he had been armed with a pistol he would have succeeded on that morning when he stabbed himself in Ben Williamson’s orchard. There is every reason to suppose that Taylor will commit suicide if given a chance and Jailer Stephan will have to keep a close watch on him if he Is to save him for the gallows. SECOND GEORGIA To Come Through On It's Way From Tamra to Huntsville, Ala, The Second Georgia regiment wilt pass through Macon some time tonight. They will take the trains at lEverett City at about 5 o’clock when the Southern will take charge of them. The run from Everett City to (Macon will without mishap take five or six hours which will put the regiment here between 10 and 11 o’clock. The regiment was ordered from Tampa yesterday and is en route to Huntsville, Ala. Os course it is not probable that the trains will remain here long but they will stop long enough to give the boys a re ception. True they have seen no active service but they have done good work and have had a pretty hot and hard time of it at Tampa. So far as is known the regiment is st present in good condition. WILL NOT HAVE FIRE WORKS. Library Decides Not to Give A Display During the Carnival. The board of directors of the public li brary had a meeting last night, but noth ing definite was done. The committees were not ready to make their reports. The fireworks committee decided that it would be out of place to have fireworks here during the carnival, as the carnival association intends having them. The other committee will make their re ports at the next meeting of the directors which will be the first Thursday in next month. IN MEMORIAM Os the Death of Mrs. Carr—Written By a Friend.
