ESTABLISHED 1884 OUR VICTORIOUS FLEET GREETED 111 THOUSANDS OF CHEERING PATRIOTS Most Magnificent Pageant Ever Witnessed in this Country Was Participated in by Assembled Multitude on Land and Water in New York Harbor, AT GRANTS TOMB The Final Salvo of Guns Was Fired from the Grey Monsters. PEOPLE WENT WILD As the Great Procession of the Boats Moved Up the River- An Im posing Spectacle as the Stars and Stripes Were Floated. New York, August 20.—Today signalized the appreciation of the republic of her victorious fleet. An ini|Hising pageant of war ships has been received in tile liarlnir of Ihe largest city in the country with acclamations of ilellgflit and and admiration, and an ova tion from shore and from the great llotil las of all sorts of craft on water has sig ulficautly given to the returning he roes some idea of the esteem and admira tion with which they are regarded by the people. Long before sunrise a gun tired from Castle William on Governor’s Island, set the people astir. The New York and iNew Jersey shores wore crowded. The river ami bay were literally alive with craft and the craft alive with people, all cheering and good Matured. An impressive scene was when. <tho flags were raised on the forts and the Uagsbip. As tile batt-i y banners were raised aloft ihe bands of the forts and on tbi flagships played the "Star Spangled Hanner,” and tae shores rang with patriotic cheers. There was very little friction in carry ing out the program and ii.» more delay than expected. Tile citizens committee left the foot of t'orilandi street on the steamer Glen Is land and proceeded dow n the bay followed by a long retinue of all sorts and descrip tions of craft. At Tompkinsville the mayor and a com mut, 1 of ten debarked and boarded the police boat. The patrol then headed for Hie llagshtp with colors flying and bands playing. The Staten Island shores were literally lined with people ami they joined in the Reneral acclamation with the people on the myriads of boats. The welcoming ceremonies were short but impressive. The ceremonies over, amid the hoarse shrieking of steam whistles and the hosannas of the throngs on the shore, the mayor and committee returned to Glen Island. Then came the event of the day. There was considerable wigwagging on the gray battleships and the police ixiats headed the line to Glen Island and then the battle shsips began to slowly move up the bay. There was a salvo of cannons and the cheering of the people and the toots of thousands of whistles made an indescriba ble dis. Soon the monster pageant was In line. First came Sampson's flagship, the New York, then Schley's flagship, the Brook lyn, then the Massachusetts. Oregon. lowa. Indiana and Texas, and after them a mov ing mass of all sizes and descriptions of craft with flags waving and people cheer ing. As Governor’s Island was passed there was a tremendous report from the guns that did so much execution at Guantauo ma and Santiago, The people on shore and afloat went wild. They yelled and screamed, waved flags and jumped up and down in patriotic fervor, and so it was all the way up to Grant's tomb, where there was a final demonstra tion of patriotic server. such as New York has never witnessed before. The pageant was viewer! and cheered by hundreds of thousands of people. It was a magnificent and indescribable scene. The New York led the fleet into port this morning passing the Hook at 8 a. m. fol lowedby the lowa and Indiana. Then came the Brooklyn and Massachusetts, the Oregon guarding the rear. The entire population of Sandy Hook was on the beach and clustered on the tops of the batteries at Fort Hancock shouting and swinging hats and caps. Flags and bunting were in sight every where. The men on board the vessels crowded the decks all dresser! in white duck or blue clothing. Signals were made frequently from the flagship to the follow ing squadron. No salute was fired from the fort. Since leaving Guantanamo on Sunday morning no incidents of an unusual na ture except a temporary break down on the part of the Indiana marred the home ward progress of the fleet. Sampson is looking far better than when the war commenced. He is very glad to get home. Speaking of his crews, and especially of the Indiana. lowa and New York, who have had no shore liberty for seven months, he said: "They have borne privations in a man ner beyond all praise. The navy has been very fortunate. We have, I think, made no mistakes.” The health of the fleet is excellent. The ships need docking badly. The Indiana, lowa and new York especially. In no way did the big ships show the hard usuage to which they have been sub jected. FIVE SPIES RELEASED. Atlanta. August 20—The five spies under arr<"t M r.-.r! ’.! rher n for four weeks were turend loose today. CALLED TO NEW YORK. Schley and Sampson Will Meet With Rest ot Commission. Washington, August 20 —Sampson, and Schley have been ordered to report at Washington and it is expected that they will reach here the early part of next week. As they have been appointed to serve respectively on the Cuban and Porto Riean commissions their visit here will afford them an opportunity to meet their associates on these commissions and dis cuss with the authorities the general policy to be maintained by the government on the Spanish evacuation of the West In dies. The naval officials were considerably rev lieved today when an early report reached them that Sampson’s fleet has been sighted off the highlands. They began to fear that the elaborate preparations made in New York city for the reception of the fleet might miscarry by reason of some delay in arriving. The time of arrival is looked upon as a tribute to the accuracy with which our naval commanders can calculate on the length of time for a long cruise. The fleet left Santiago at 10 a. m. on last Sunday and at that time Sampson notified the department that he would reach New York early on Saturday morning. CHICKAMAUGA EXERCISES.

Americus, Ga., August 20.—(Special to The News.) —The most fiendish crime in the history of Sumter county or the whole state, was committed at Friendship, twelve miles west of here last night.

SILVELA SPEAKS About Manila—Spain Has Not Surrendered Her Sovereignty in the Philippines. Madrid, 1 p. m., August 20 —'Senor (Sil vela, the virtual leader of the conserva tives expresses the views of his party on the capture of (Manila in the following statemen: “The capture of Manila in no wise af fects the rest of the archipelago and the cortes should be sumoned with urgency in order to prevent the world from gaining the impression that Spain has lost her sovereignty in the Philippines. The Lib eral party should conclude peace, but the Sagasta cabinet cannot effect the task.” If the Queen Regent tenders him an in vitation Silvela is disposed to accept the office. sagasta’sclaim FOR INDMENITY For All Government Property on the Islands Presents New Features. Sagasta’s claim, as set forth in the Madrid dispatches, that Spain will accept an indemnity for all government property, buildings, barracks, fortifications, etc., in Cuba, Porto Rico and elsewhere, has ex cited much comment as showing the diffi cult questions to be treated by the mili tary and peace commissions. In official quarters here there Is no dis position to make a counter claim against Sagasta’s proposition, for this will be done in due time before the commissions, and there is no purpose to outline the govern ment’s policy in advance. At the same time officials express the opinion that Sagasta’s claim is very far fetched, as it is said to be an established rule of international law that all public property of the sovereign government passes to the conqueror when surrender occurs. The rule is well established that pri vate propery undergoes no change. The question is somewhat complicated in the present case because Cuba and Porto Rico were not acquired by contest but rather by agreement. In the case of conquest no question could arise as to the passage of all the forts, bar ricades, etc., along with the conquered ter ritory. It is appreciated that new principles may be required to meet new conditions, as the circumstances under which Cuba and Porto Rico come under our control is somewhat novel. In the case of Cuba the question is fur ther complicated by the fact that the Lnited States has not asserted purpose to acquire or annex territory but merely to free it from Spanish dominion.

COLONEL RAY WASJMPHATIC When It Was Suggested that His Regiment Might Misbehave. MAY GO TO PORTO RICO. All Unpacking Was Stopped Yes terday—Col. Ray Is a Social Lion. Atlanta, August 20—A special cablegram to the Atlanta Constituation dated San tiago, August 19, says: The Third UniUd States volunteers, under command of Col. Ray, have .been the lions of the day in this city. When the ship bearing this regiment cast anchor in the harbor there was con siderable delay in allowing the men to land. Colonel Ray was invited to come ashore for consultation with Brigadier General Wood, who is acting governor of the city. In that interview the reason for the de lay to land the regiment w r as made plain. General Wood related to Colonel Ray the trouble which he had just had with the Second regiment, in which the people of the city had been outraged in a most shocking manner, too shocking indeed to be placed on record. “The army,” said General Wood, “has been disgraced by the conduct of the regi ments of W’hich I complain, and if the Third regiment is of the same material I certainly do not want it to land in San tiago.” With great spirit Colonel Ray replied: “iMy regiment is made up of white men, and not of heathens. Its membership comes from the agricultural classes of Georgia, and it may be depended upon to demean itself with gallantry and with credit. I am ashamed,” concluded Colonel Ray, “that men wearing the United States uniform should have been guilty of the crimes which you have charged up to them, but you ■will find that the Third regiment is cast in superior mold.” This satisfied General Wood and in a short time orders were given for disem barkation.. Already the Georgians have won the confidence of the people. Their manly bearing and eminent respectability have made them the heroes of the day, and they have so demeaned themselves as to be covered with glory after the terrible experiences which the people have had with the regiment previously stationed there. Colonel Ray has been invited to the clubs and is overwhelmed with social attentions from all sides. Tonight the regiment was ordered to be ready to move at a moment’s notice. This much is known that it is to go eastward and the rumor is that the Third regiment is to occupy San Juan de Porto Rico. Con sequently the work of unpacking has been stopped, leaves of absence have been call ed iu and the night is being spent in get ting ready for the hurried departure. General Shafter unites with General Wood in denunciation of Colonel Hood’s regiment, which had to be sent out of the city and replaced with negroes. PASSING THROUGH Several Sections of the Second Georgia Go ing to Huntsville. The third section of the Second Geor gia regiment passed through the city this morning at 9 o’clock The train stopped in the city for over an hour. The boys were all looking well and did not seem tired of their trip. The third section was composed of companies A, D, F and I, and was in charge of (Major Ken drick. Two sections of the train went through early this morning. Colonel Oscar J. Brown was in the first section. The men all looked sunburned and seemed disap pointed that they had not seen any active service. Captain John F. Howard, of Company F, was the only officer at the train when The News man called and he said that the whole regiment was glad to get away from Tampa. “We are delighted at the change,” he said, “'but we had rather be going toward Cuba than toward Atlanta. We were all disappointed because we couldn’t go to Cuba. We hope, though, to be sent some where to do garrison duty. We are tired of doing camp duty and would like a change. “Our camp at Tampa was in a large sand bed and we had no shade except .that which was furnished by the pine trees. During our stay at Tampa only nine men deserted from our regiment. I think that this is the best record of any volunteer regiment In the service.” The train left at 9:30 o’clock for At lanta, where a stop of two hours will be made. The third section will probably arrive at Huntsville tomorrow night. CAMP MEET BEGINS TODAY. Livelv Scenes at Echeconnee Camp Meeting for the Week. The Echeconnee camp meeting begins today.

The neigh bors, alarmed, sent to Macon, asking for the man’s arrest. This morning Yarbor ough was still violent and beat one of his sous, almost a child, very badly, driving him from the house and from the farm. When the deputies arrived Yarborough w r as quiet. He was sitting at dinner with his wife and children. Before going to the house the deputies called on some of the neighbors, including Yarborough’s brother in-law, and asked them to assist in the ar rest, but the men refused, saying that it was as much as their lives were worth, and warned the deputies of their danger. Rainey and Riley, however, managed to get into the room before Yarborough saw them and were both beside him when he recognized them. He at once seized his fork and tried to stab Riley, who grasped his arm and Rainey took the weapon away. Then commenced a terrible struggle .be tween the infuriated madman and the sheriffs, while the little family huddled to gether in a corner and watched, silent and terror-stricken. Finally Yarborough was overcome and was placed m the vehicle. For the first three or four miles of the way home the deputies had an almost continuous strug gle with the lunatic. He was lodged in jail and this morning was adjudged insane again. He will be taken to Milledgeville as soon as arrangements can be made.

New York, August 20 —The Republican state committee today decided to hold the state ccnvcniion at Sara; ja „n Septem ber 27th. ABNER TAYLOR GOESJ TRIAL The Wife Murderer’s Case is Attracting No Little Attention. ON A PLEA OF LUNACY He Will Be Tried, But it is Noth Thought that this Will Avail Him Anything. Abner Taylor, the wife murderer, will be placed on trial in the superior court be fore Judge Felton on Monday morning. It is the first case ou the criminal docket which will be called next week for the purpose of relieving the jail. Taylor will be defended by Messrs. Du pont Guerry, Charles H. Hall, Jr., and Geo. S. Jones. This guarantees him a most able defense. He will first be tried on the plea of lu nacy. In this connection his counsel will introduce some very strong testimony. They will bring out the fact that several members of Taylor’s family have exhibited strong symptoms of lunacy, or, at least, of weakmindedness. Taylor created some excitement at the jail on Thursday night by announcing that he had swallowed ground glass with suici dal intent. While Jailer Stephan was ex tremely dubious and doubted the state ment of 'the prisoner, he at once sent for Dr. Johnson, who gave the man the prop er remedies. Taylor either was or preten ded to be very sick, but after a time ho slept well and ate a good breakfast yes terday morning. During the day Dr. Wor sham saw him, but was unable to tell whether the man had really swallowed the glass or not. It is, however, very evident that it is the physicians’ opinion that he did not and the jailer and his ’associates think that Taylor was simply shamming. Taylor Is not an interesting criminal. Those who have known him all his life, say that he is in no sense of the word a lunatic and that he Is rather a man of low cunning and of Intense passion and power of resentment. The killing of fils wife was done with a small knife. It was a cowardly and dastardly affair and the feeling against the man In the neighbor hood is intense. A verdict of guilty Is pre dicted, but a tremendous fight will be made by his counsel. The prosecution will be conducted by Acting Solicitor Roland Ellis, who has not yet announced as to whether he will have an associate. Taylor is being closely guarded at th* jail lest he should attempt to commit sui cide, which Is his announced purpose. CAPTAIN BELL IS RECALLED Return to Chickamauga--Will Leave Macon Monday Morning.
