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.

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.” TOO MANY NEGROES But the White Voters of Glvnn Say Thev Can Control Them. ißrunswick, Ga., Sept. 15—Glynn’s regis tration books clos: 1 yesterday with 2.330 names or, them.

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.

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.” STOLE JEWELRY.

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.

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, AMERICAN BARK LOSL Thought to Have Gone Down in Storm O f Amsterdam Coast.

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. jewiseFday OF ATONEMENT Comes on the Opening Dav of Macon’s Public Schools— Supt.
