Columbus, 0., Sept. 15. —A sensational ,
scene occurred at the station last night
when the trooi« A, B and C, of the First
Ohio volunteer cavalry, of Cleveland, took
forcible possession of a train and refused
to permit it to be moved.
The soldiers were brought in from
Huntsville, Ala., in tourist sleepers, but
the contract only called for their use as far
as Columbus, so the Pennsylvania railroad
ordered the Cleveland men out, that the
cars might be returned to Cincinnati. The
men refused and when the engine was
coupled on the to the five cars an armed
line of guards was thrown around the
train. •
The railroad people were forbidden to
move, the train, the Intention being to have
one of the Cleveland roads to haul the ears.
The men were to have left here before :
midnight, but it was after 2 o'clock when I
.Major \V< bb Hayes and District Passenger
agent Harris finally compromised the mat
ter. The soldiers won their point and the ,
ears went through on a special train and a

RESOLUTE FLEW.
SPANISH FLAG
N) Truth in the Report That
Strained Relations Exist
Between Commissioners.
WERE * FEW LITTLE HITCHES
But Nothing of llnwortance Amer
ican Vessel Failed to Salute,
but Made Up for It Later.
Ha van, via Key West, Sept. 15.—Rumors
to the effect that strained relations exist
between the Spanish commission and the
United States evacuation commission are
absolutely false. There have been little in
cidents but no real hitches. For instance,
when the United States transport Resolute,
with the American commission on board,
arrived on Saturday morning, she did not
fire, a salute on enterng the ha”bor, but
later fired the regulation salute when visi
ted by the British consul, who has been
a ting for the United States.
This action was commented upon et the
palace in consequence of which explana
tions were exchanged during the evening,
wih the result that the Resolute on Mon
■ day morning flew the Spanish colors in
honor of the birthday of the Princess of
Asturias, aud at noon on the same day
when the Spanish flagship Alfonso XII
fired a salute in honor of the royal birth
day, it was answered by the Resolute.
Saturday morning shortly after the ar
riv'd of the Resolute a shell exploded in
I the ordnace park, killing two soldiers. The
i local new-papers were not allowed to pub
lish anything in connection with the inci
dent, so as to avoid misiuter u-n on
the part of sensational news,', .es, It.e
explosion was purely accidental.
The. “meat ring” continues Keeping the
price of meat from 50 to 60 cents a pound
in spite of protests and the efforts of large
responsible firms to the government offer
-1 ing to import cattle and place meat on the
I market at 25 cents a pound.
It. will be interesting to watch the course
pursued by the host of counts and mar
i qutees holding titles of nobility in Spain
1 and here.
The aristocracy of Cuba are all Spanish
I grandees bolding Castilian titles, of which
they are very proud and which they will
I renounce wth great reluctance.
The grandees who have been holding
• titles for generations, formerly owning
vast property in the island, form most of
the rabid Cubainism here. They will bo
| forced to either remain Spanish subjects
I and oonintue enjoying the privileges of
, rank and title or relinquish all the claims
to ibis honor and become plain Tom, Dick
and Harry.
Tile .... ,'uc w!il happeu Lu list of
Cubans, widows and orphans of the Span
ish officers, drawing pensions from Spain,
which s their only means of support.
The situation hero may be summed up as
i chaotic.
It i. impossible to tell exactly what the
1 future may develop even regarding the
commission. Its powers appear to be very
limited, .he members having to submit
i <\ >-y trifle to Washington for considera
; tiou before acting.

“IT IS DAMNABLE”
What Senator Mason Has to
Sav About Treatment of
the Cubans.
New York. Sept. 15—TheJo urnal yester
day morning published a characteristic in
terview with Senator Mason, of Illinois.
He said he and Colonel Turner had noth
ing to do with the delay in moving the
First. Illinois. Colonel Mason waxed very
indignant.
"Shameful, disgraceful, infernal, damn
able—there is no word or term too strong
to use. Will the apology of the govern
ment, 'some one has blundered’ give us
back our dead? Will it cause us io forget
the sufferings of our fever-stricken boys?
Is it balm sufficient to heal the torn and
broke? hearts that are bleeding in thous
ands of homes throughout the land? What
an excuse for a government to make
through its secretary of war!
“This is the crime of the century, the
tragedy of the nation. Our soldiers have
not poured out their heart’s blood on the
altar of their country, but have been cruci
fied by blundering and plundering official
dom. vur heads are bowed’in deepest woe;
w- mast bow them lower with very shame.
All the world acclaimed our hundred days’
war. Every tongue was aflame with the
g’e-y of America, her valiant army, her
superb navy. Today the world Is stricken
dumb with horror. Christianity is aghast,
and we—we are listening to the apology
of the government: ‘Some one blundered!”
and look on with streaming eyes at some
one’s blunders being manifold.
"I do not criticise the army itself. Of
ficers and men have behaved and fought
as >mericars. Their gallantry is the one
theme we can go back to with pleasure.
But I lo condemn the commissary depart
m-t ts and the medical departments with
all my strength and power, and I hope
v<:y soon to see a thorough and proper in
vestigation of the horrors lay the blame
where it rightfully belongs.”

RUNNING FIGHT
WITHSJRIKERS
Desperate Encounter in St.
Louis Between Mounted
Police and Plasterers.
ONE MAN WAS KILLED.
But It Is Probable That Others Will
Fall in the Fight —Several
Arrests Made.
St. Louis, Sept. 15—The striking plas
terers precipitated a riot today at De-
Hodiamont, a suburb in the western limits
of the city, in which William Kane, a
non-union worker was fatally wounded
and three others were seriously hurt.
The mounted police responded to the riot
call and were met by a fusilade of bullets
from the strikers. The police replied with
a number of shots and charged on the
crowd dispersing them and resulting in the
arrest of Nat Brown and Joe Lee, who are
thought io be the ring leaders.
For some time there has been a strike
on among the plasterers in the city for
higher wages. The strikers gathered in
considerable force at DeHoidament to pre
vent the non-union men from going to
work. Derisive and abusive words led to
the throwing of missies and finally one of
the strikers drew a revolver and fired into
the crowd of non-union men. This was
followed immediately by a volley from the
strikers and Kane fell mortally wounded.
When the mounted police appeared on
the scene they were met by a volley of
bullets. The strikers fled and Captain
McNammee at once called out all the po
licemen available to chase and capture
them.
Reports from the scene of riot say the
chase is developing into a running fight
between the police and some of the strik
ers, the result of which is not yet known.

CHAOS IN HAVANA.
Cuban Agent Makes a Pite
ous Appeal for Assist

New York, Sept. 15. —A dispatch to the
Press from Washington says:
“Senor Tomas Estrada Palma has just
received a communication from the repre
sentative of the Cuban Revolutionary Gov
ernment, who has secretly been in Havana
since the beginning of the war. The let
ter is as follows:
“ ‘We are, as it were, between two fires.
We must keep peace because the United
States and Spain are no longer engaged in
active strife, and we must endure all the
■atrocities, cruelties and barbarism imposed
upon us by the Spaniards.
“ ‘Chaos reigns in Havana. The public
servee has in nearly all departments been
practically abandoned, and the employes,
thus being thrown out of their positions,
take the more from us. There is nothing
for the laboring people, for che poorer
classes, the large majoriy of whom are Cu
bans, to do.
“ ‘Matters have not improved for them
since the raising of the blockade. The
poor man who manages to plant a little
garden place to save himself and family
from starvation finds just as he is about
to harvest his little crop that he is made
the prey of the soldiery, who rob him of
all. The city is full of thieves and vaga
bonds, who steal, plunder and destroy all
they can. Neither is there any justice nor
attempt at punishment for offenses, even
the most grave.’
“The letter closes with an appeal to 'the
United States for aid to the staving
and alleviate the suffering.”

MACON SOLDIERS
COM£MONDAY
Telegram Received This Morn
ing Savs They May Be
Expected at That Time,
MEETING TOMORROW NIGHT
At the Volunteer’s Armory to Make
‘Arrangements for Reception
and Welcome for Soldiers.
The First regiment will reach Macon on
Monday. A telegram to this effect was re
ceived in Macon this morning from Adju
tant Miller White.
The Macon companies, and in fact the
whole regiment of the other companies
from the Southern counties are given time
in 'Macon willbe given a grand reception.
A meeting of the Macon Volunteers, who
are now in Macon, has been called to be
held at the armory tomorrow night by
Lieutenant Hazlehurst and at that time
the first arrangements will be made for
the reception of the sodliers.
It is the intention of the people of Macon
to give the boys as hearty a welcome as
ever has been extended to any of the re
turning soldiers and after the appointment
of the committees the whole town will
take hold of the movement.
There will be no difficulty in getting to
gether all the money necessary to make
the reception a grand success. The Macon
Volunteers will be joined in this movement
by the other companies in the city.
Just what form the reception will take
has not yet been decided. Much will de
pend upon the time of the arrival of the
regiment. Influence will be brought to
bear, however, to bring them here during
the day time and it is more than probable
that the effort to do it will be successful.
Lieutenant Hazlehurst hopes that every
member of the Macon Volunteers will be
present at the meeting tomorrow night. It
is not meant that only the younger mem
bers of the company will be there but that
the old members will take the lead.
NOTHING ACCOMPLISHED.
Joint Meeting of Chamber of Commerce and
City Council Committees.
The committee appointed by the .Cham

from the city council held a joint meeting
at the Chamber of Commerce yesterday of
ternoon. Aiderman Morgan was made
chairman of the committee, and Mr.
George Ketchum, secretary.
The question of rates was discussed for
some length of time but nothing definite
was done. It was found that some legal
advice was necessary and the meeting was
adjourned subject to the call of the chair
man.
After the meeting of the two committees
the Chamber of Commerce also took up the
matter of water and gas. No action was
taken but it was the opinion of the com
mittee that the rates were too high md
that they should be brought down as low
as the rates of other cities.

RICE CROP DAMAGED.
Floods Have Nearly Ruined Planters in
Southeast.
Savannah, Ga., Sept. 15—The rice plant
ers of this section are in sore distress. The
heavy freshets, which are now coming
down the rivers, both the Savannah and
Ogeechee, are overflowing the banks and
completing the destruction so well begun
by the recent storm. The banks have been
strengthened in many places, but many of
the fields have overflowed, and about two
thirds of the crop that remained along
these rivers was done away with, or so
badly damaged that it could not be used.
To add to their troubles comes the news
that the big crop in Louisiana will make
the price so low that there will be little
money in it for even the small portion of
the crop marketed. The frequency of these
storms has driven many of the rice plant
ers of this section out of business, and It
is probable that others will follow them,

NEW BOAT WILL
BE BUILT SOON
Stockholders of the Naviga
tion Company Will Meet
This Afternoon.
WILL BE A DUPLICATE
Os the City of Macon and Will Be
Completed in Two Months,
Says Mr. Smith.
The stockholders of the Macon Naviga
tion Company will hold a meeting at the
Chamber of Commerce this artefnoon to
arrange the final plans for the building
of a new boat to ply between here and the
coast.
Mr. George Smith, of the Navigation
Company, says that the boat will be on the
river in two months’ time and that it will
be carry: • ■ j. ? ,t from here to Bruns
wick.
The boat will be built here in Macon
and will be the same size as 'the City o?
Macon. The stock holders are very much
pleased at the record of the present boat
and for some time they had under consid
eration the idea of building a new one.
Mr. Bartlett will address the meet
ing on the question of appropriaiions.
Congress has already appropriated money
for the improvement of the river, but. it
has never been used and the company will
try to get the government to us it this
year. They will send a committee to Wash
ington to go before congress and show
the increase in commerce since the pres
ent boat has been built.
The City of Macon arrived in the city
today at 12o’clock with the largest cargo
that has ever been brought up the river.
A complete manifest was published a few
days ago. in the News, but since that
time the boat has taken on many articles
on the rtip up the river. The boat would
have arrived sooner, but an accident to
one of the boiler flues prevented her doing
so. The flue had bo be .sent to Macon and
then back again before the boat could
travel. It will probably leave tomorrow on
the return trip.

BICYCLERS~ARE
DISAPPOINTED
Because the Use of the Track
at the Park is Granted to
Race Horse People.
The members of the Macon Cycle Club
held a meeting at the office of Mr. Percy
Griflith on Cottoq. avenue last night. The
meeting was largely attended by the cy
clists of the city,
Mr. Coleman -was In charge of the meet
ing.
Mr. Mallory H. Taylor tendered his res
ignation to the club last night and it was
•accepted. He gave as his reason, that his
■business affairs did not give him tfie op
portunity to devote his time, as he should,
to the club.
The racing committee announced That
the Carnival Association had decided to
cancel the contract with the club, as they
had given the race horae people the use of
the .park. The club was*disappointed, as
they had gone to work and secured the
sanction of the L. A. W. for the meet.
They had plans drawn for a track they
were going to build* and several other ar
rangements had been made,
The races were postponed until Thanks
giving Day. It is not known when a pres
ident will be elected, as nothing was said
about it at the meeting las night.
