METHOD OF DISTRIBUTION Is Somewhat Roundabout but Gen erally Speaking It Will Be Satisfactory. New York, Sept. 27 —A dispatch to the Herald from Washington says: When asked what action will be taken by the government upon the appeal sent out for food by Gomez, Acting Secretary Meiklejohn said the landing of storey |, Comal yesterday was a reply to the ap‘- peal. It is expected that Comal .wilt begin by tomorrow the unloading of stores at Ma tanzas and this cargo will be followed by others as necessity develops. No food will be distributed to the men under arms, so the force under Gomez must disband before receiving supplies. This government was at first firm in re fusal to allow food to be distributed to Cubans otherwise than under the direc tion of American officers, as provided for by the act of congress, but the agreement now is that it will be distributed by a third commission to be appointed by the American and Spanish military commis sions. The explanation of this somewhat ana malous solution of the question Meikle john said there would be an American of ficer on the commission It is said General Wade would have in reality the full direc tion of the distribution. There is no in formation yet as to the probable personnel of the commission. • DECEMBER TERM. The Trial of Burns for Killing of Heslep Will Come Up. The Brunswick Times says that Judge Courtland Sytnmes has been retained liy the relatives of George Heslep to assist in the (prosecution of W. S. Burns, who killed Heslep at Sterling some weeks ago. Hon. Thomas E. Watson and Colonel D. W. Krauss have been employed, as stated some itlme ago in The Times, to defend Burns, and the case will go before the grand jury •at the December term of the sueprior court. The prisoner is taking his confinement in jail very philisophically and sticks to his former statement expressing his fullest confidence in the outcome of the trial, as he declares that he committed the act in defense of the sanctity of home and that the truth will prevail. The result of the trial will be looked for with great interest. MAY REMOVE - AN ARCHBISHOP At Santiago Because He Is Prisona Non Grata to the Cubans. New York, Sept. 27—A dispatch to the Herald from Santiago says: Owing to the strong animosity shown by the archbishop of Santiago during the war, more than a hundred prominent Cubans have presented a petition to General Wood praying that representation be made to the Vatican for his removal and for the appointment of Father Luis Mustellier of the church here as his successor. Father Mustellier has sympathy for the Cubans and is liked in the United States by Cardinal Gibbons and Archbishop Ire land. Strong representations have been made by Father Mustellier to General Wood re garding the status of the church in the province. lHe stated that the property held amounted to more than sufficient to cover all ecclesiastical expenses and even to con tribute to the state ‘besides. He also pro posed a scheme for the establishment of parochial primary schools under church management. Little doubt is expressed here that the archbishop will be removed, as with his connivance much church property has been, removed surreptiously since American oc cupation. General Wood has completed the organ ization of a rural police force for the San tiago province.

THE MACON NEWS. NOT PREPARED TO GIVE IT ALL Spanish Commissioners, It Is Believed, Will Retire if Asked for Too Much. freichsfmpituffobthfm Rather Than for the Commissioners of the United States—First Formal Meeting Today, Paris, Sept. 27 —While the reception ac corded the United States peace commission here was all that could be desired, and while the French foreign office has taken great pains to treat the American and Spanish commissioners in precisely the same manner, it must be admitted that the general atmosphere of Paris especially the diplomatic atmosphere, does not incline to wards the Americans. It is generally the impression th<3 the American commissioners have instructions to provide for the retention of Manila and the Island Luzon. , ‘"For teh commission to pretend to nego tiate is a farce,” said a prominent diplo mat. He continued: “America will put her self diplomatically in the wrong when she exceeds the provisions of the protocol which both nations signed. I know the Spaniards have come prepared to make concessions, but if the American’s instruc tions are of an uncompromising nature, which is generally believed here to be the case you may rest assured that the work of the commission will be futile. “The Spaniards will retire and America at least will have to threaten a resumption of hostilities before she can gain her point.” / The commission met for the first time since its appointment as a body, today In the drawing room of the Continental hotel. As the joint commission is not a deliberative body it possibly will not or ganize with a presiding member froth either commission. This is deemed in some quarters to be the wiser plan as tending to promote closer working relations be tween the two commissions and facilita ting an ultimate adjustment. This, how ever, is not positive. CHARLIE CATER. His Many Friends Well Pleased at His Pro motion. The many friends of 'Mr. Charlie Cater will be glad to learn that he has been ap pointed second lieutenant in the Third Georgia regiment. Lieutenant Cater enlisted at the out break of the war with the 'Macon Volun teers 'and was a private until transferred to the Third eGorgia as first sergeant. He had charge if his company at Griffin for over a month and showed that he was fully capable of handling a company. Yes terday he was made second lieutenant to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Lieutenant 'Bate. Sergeant Lee Branch, of this city was also made second lieutenant. Many Macon boys have received com missions since the outbreak of the war. which shows that the governor recognizes their ability. It is a noticeable fact that, a majority of the appointments were from the ranks of the Macon Volunteers. COLORED HEROES Passed Through Cleveland on Their Way to the Far West. •Cleveland, Sept. 27 —The Twenty-fourth United States infantry, a colored regiment which fought gallantly and conspicuously in the battles of San Juan hill and San tiago, passed through Cleveland over the Nickel Plate railroad late last night en route to army posts.in the far West. The men. one and all. claimed to have been excellently treated by the government and. to have always been. A number of those wounded at Santiago who recovered, were on the trains.

Tingley, president of the International Brotherhood, has sent a letter to President McKinley in which she roasts the officials- at Camp Wlckoff as to the way the nurses of the League were treated. In her letter she also states that the League aided over 9,000 sick and •wounded soldiers. The League has been of great assistance to the sick soldiers since the war broke out. They have had special nurses to wait on the sick and have sent supplies to the families of those who were unable to sup port them. The League has a branch here in Macon and they have been doing good work Many shipments of supplies have been made from here and the members are still at work. The report of the president to Mr. McKinley is very gratifying to the mem bers of the League all over the country. It shows exactly what has been done by the League since Its organization.

YELLOW FEVER REPORTNOT TRUE Condition of Men in Ray’s Regiment at Santiago Is Said to Be Good. REPORT IN WASHINGTON Is that the Men Are in Fairly Good Health - Definite Information to Come Later. Washington, D. 'C., September 27. At the war department nothing official has been heard from the troops at Santi ago to indicate that yellow fever is raging wihtin the ranks of the Third regiment of United States Volunteers, which is Col. Ray’s command. An unofficial report reach ed here yesterday that many of the sol diers at Santiago are on the sick list and the same report stated that several cases of yellow fever prevail In Colonel Ray’s regiment of immunes. When General Corbin’s attention was called to the subject he stated that when he last heard from the troops at Santiago and that viciniy they were getting along very well. There is some sickness among the troops, but all things considered, the health of the troops was excellent when the last report was received at the de partment a week ago. In consequence of today’s report General Corbin telegraphed at once to General Lawton requesting him to send at once a detailed statement of the condition of the troops under his emmand , and special mention was made relative to Col. Ray’s regiment. It is said that the facilities for communication with Santiago are such that any alarming outbreak of yellow fever would have been reported to the depart ment without delay. In view of the fact that no such report has been received it is taken for granted that Colonel Ray’s regiment is in good shape. It is possible that the report of yellow fever originated from an unofficial dis patch received in New York yesterday from Porto ißico, in which it was stated that a number of yellow fever cases have been discovered among the American troops at San Juan and Ponce, but the censorship is so strict there that no re port of the increased number of cases have been permitted to pass over the wires. It is said that yellow fever*ls prevailing at Porto Rico to a somewhat alarming ex tent, although no official confirmation of the report can be obtained at the war .de partment. The report is said to 'have reached New York ill a letter from one of the soldiers, transmitted by one of the crew of a vessel just arrived from Porto Rico. TOSSED ON SEA LIKE A SHINGLE. Narrow Escape of a North Pacific Liner in the Chi nese Sea. Tacoma, Wash.. Sept. 27—Fresh from an encounter with a terrific typhoon in the Chinese sea the Northern Pacific liner, Columbia, steamed into .port last night. The vessel was tossed like a shingle for twelve hours, driven many miles back on her course, and carried so near the coast of Japan that the seas shipped by the ves sel left deposits of sand on the decks. Anchor had been cast but the chain snapped and the anchor and cable were lost, and the ship forced near the shore. The escape of the Columbia is considered miraculous and every one on board be lieved the ship would never live through the storm. The Chinese sailors practically mutinied, after the vessel near shore and would not be driven to work. The Europenas aboard comprising only officers, were compelled to do the work with no assistance but that of a few sailors who happened to be pas sengers on the ship. WAIT FOR MY OPENING.

VOLUNTARY SUBSCRIPTIONS From Those Who Ought to Subscribe to the Reception Fund. . The original committee on the reception of the First Georgia regiment held a meet ing last night and after going over the accounts found that there would be a small •balance needed after the bills were all in. As there are no doubt a large number of people in the city who would willingly have subscribed to the fund and who were not called on by the committee, owing to the shortness of the time in which all the work had to be done, Colonel Wiley, the chairman of the committee requests that those who feel that they would like to have their names on the roll of honor for the reception send to his office whatever amount they think they ought to give. The balance due is not large, but as it will be nearly a hundred dollars and the committee which has had charge of it has scattered, it is to be hoped that the bur den of responsibility will not be thrown on Colonel Wiley but that those who can af ford to subscribe will do so at once. MET DEATH IN A POND. George Palethorpe Drowned in Napier’s Pond Yester day Afternoon. A very sad accident happened at Na pier’s pond, a few hundred yards below the Central City Park yesterday afternoon. George Palethorpe, in company with sev eral soldiers of the First Georgia went to go in bathing, and while swimming Pale thorpe got beyond his depth and was drowed in spite of all efforts to save him. It seems that the soldiers had come out of the water and were dressing when they heard Palethorpe cry for help. One of them jumped into the water and attempted to save the boy, but he was too late and drowned in spite of all efforts to save him. The body was recovered a few minutes af ter he sank and the soldiers tried hard to resuscitate him but their efforts were futile. The young man was a nephew of Mr. J. B. Rau. The funeral will be held this af ternoon at 4 o’clock from the residence of Mr. J. B. Rau. The services will be con ducted by Rev. R. R. White. The inter ment will be at Rose Hill.

The drill took place .promptly at 5 o’clock in the race track at the park. The battalions were formed before entering on the parade grounds and in a few minutes the regiment was formed. The men went through the manual of arms like one mail and <«•<■_, exactly what to do. Lieutenant Colonel Jordan ‘Brooks was in command in the absence of Colonel Lawton. As soon as the orders were pub lished the regiment was passed in review, and it must be said that the companies put up the best drilling that has ever been seen in Macon. When the regiment passed the reviewing stand the battalions were in column of companies and the dress was perfect, and as each company approached rhe stand each captain wolud bring his company to “port arms” and the guns all came down as one. The drill yesterday shows that the reg iment has had lots of practice. The crack regulars in the army could not be£t it and the officers were pleased with the showing made. The regiment is now comfortably quar tered and everybody seems to be delighted' the camp ground. The men did not have very much work to do, as the streets had already been laid out by the immunes and they were in very good condition. It is not known when the men will be given furloughs, but the prevailing opinion is that the regiment will be paid off and given a thirty days’ furlough and then will return and be mustered out. The officers are expecting the paymaster about the first of October. 'Many thousand dollars will be paid out to the men. The officers are all delighted with Camp Price and say that it is a splendid camping ground. The regiment is one of the best equipped regiments ever seen here. It proved to be the most popular regiment in the service while at 'Chickamauga and at Camp Poland. Crowds of visitors have al ways swarmed their streets.| Mascots are seen on every side at hite camp. Dogs of all kinds are kept as mas cots. The dogs are of all breeds, from the Irish setter to the ring tailed cur, but even the ugliest dog in the camp is highly thought of. The camp is the most popular place in Macon at present and will remain so as long as the soldiers are here. The Knoxville Sentinel says: “The breaking of the camp of the First Georgia regiment today was the scene of activity at Camp Poland. AH day the men were viewed by visitors, both soldiers and civilians, who, prompted by more than curiosity, came to pay their respects. Per haps if a vote were taken to determine the regiment most popular with the sol diers and citizens alike the Georgia regi ment would poll the largest. “There is one thing that the Georgians, along with the 'West Virginians, have done since their encampment at Knoxville, and that is to show what a southern soldier looks and acts like. On all sides, there have been troops from Pennsylvania, In diana, Minnesota, Ohio and Michigan, and these troops have unconsciously wondered at the Georgians. Thier genuine hospital ity, their unswerving attention to their business and the patriotic fervor has had its good effect. Every regiment likes thd boys from the south, the relations that have sprung up between them and the Michigan volunteers not being duplicated more than once in a life time. The respec tive colonels wear beaming countenances in contemplation of it and genuine pride that it is so. When the northern boys go home won’t they ‘have a pretty tale to tell ? The effects of it are far reaching, so they say, and everybody hails the relations with delight. "The Georgia troops leave some time this afternoon for Macon. They will then be furloughed for thirty days and then the splendid regiment will be mustered out.” The concerts at the park every after noon by the regimental band are very much appreciated by the large number of people who attend. The band was made up from the regiment after it was mustered in and is now equal to any band in the state. Tey furnish most excellent music, both on the parade and at the concert and reflect the greatest credit upon the regi ment. Speaking of the health of the regiment today. Major Garrard, the regimental sur geon, said that the First Georgia has all the time had a good record. While at Chickamauga he says that the men began to grow despondent when they found that they were not to go to the front and that this had a depressing effect, with nothing to cheer them up. But even then the record of the regiment was very good, an 1 when they went to, Knoxville they had more to see and the people took more in terest in them, ft was a beter camp, with better atr and a good view. All of this had a cheering effect. A large number om men are being ex amined today for discharges. These are the cases where the men have been recom mended for discharges and will be sent home at once as soon as they are examined by Major Garrard. There are now four cases of mumps at the hospital, that disease having made its appearance at Knoxville and two oases eases having developed on the train on the way to Macon. Other than these ail ments there is nothing of a serious nature at the hospital. The officers of the regiment, speaking of the desire of the men to leave say that if the men were given a furlough of thirty days they would most of them re turn to the regiment and be noxious to remain in the service. As it is, fully a •third of the men will ask for transfers to other regiments. The row on Fifth street last night, in which Corporal Blankenship, of the Co lumhVsS company, was cut by a negro backman, was, according to the account of the companions of the young man, en tirely unprovoked by the soldier. The negro was rn his hack and cursed the sol dier, who pulled him from the hack and beat him with his fists. The negro drew his knife and cut Blankenship several times then jumped in bis hack and dro’-e off. a nol'ce cff.cer arrested the men and tie ■hackman named Lorenzo Gray, who bruised up. The case before the recorder was continued until tomorow. The man who was cut by a nego tn the city last night was in the hospital this morning, but Major Gerrard and Surgeon Little say that he L not seriously hurt. He was cut in five places, but none of the cuts were deep enough to do any damage. Several arrests of soldiers were made last ntght. The men say that in Other towns the police have not treated them with the same severity as they do in Ma con. Where a man is arrested by the po lice and taken before the recorder he gets double punishment. If on the other hand, the police would turn the offenders over to other soldiers or to a provost guard, which they think should be put on the streets, they would be tried by the regi mental court. As a whole, the men are very well be haved and made but litle trouble for the officers of fihe city. Major Kenan, who came home sick, is STill seriously ill. e has a bad attack of the jaundice, but the physicians hope that he will be able to be out again in a few da X s - . .
