The authorities have refused to place a gmird in South Macon. They say that tii'eri 'w ill be no trouble, and if any should happen to occur the guard could be sent to the scene at once. Very few men have been reported sick since the regiment arrived here. No sick men w>'re brought from the other camps nnd Very few are in the regimntal hospi tals. Several arrests have been made today'by the provost guard. Nothing serious has occurred in any of the camps today, so far as is known, and the 'arrests made were mainly to keep the men from getting into trouble as they were all drinking. The Second Ohio reigiunent has some of the largest men in the country in its ranks. In fact all of them are well built and seem to be all-round athletes. It is probable that the Macon football pkty the team from tlie Third engineers, as they claim to have one of the best in the country.

There are several officers here who were in the battle of Santiago, and many of them have not vet recovered from the j wounds received. The signal corps will begin putting up the telegraph and telephone lines to the camps at once. There is already a special wire from the Hotel Lanier to the Western rtvKMi office. 'Major Ixigan. who is in charge of the i proceed guard, says that the other soldiers who are coming will give no trouble, as the provost guard will be in good training by that time and will know just how to handle them. All of the officers of the Third Carolina, which arrives heir tomorrow are negroes. The regiment is said to be one of the best drilled in the country. Many of the soldiers are attending the prohibition meetings at the tent every i night. They all seem pleased with Sam Jones' sermons. All of the troops are eager to get the newspapers. They are all interested as to i when they will go to Cuba. The privates who are detailed as order lies are kept busy. They are sent from place to place and they are always glad to ; get off duty.

A majority of the men live out of the city and will be given mile age a: ’, ration money and this will aver age about S2O to the man besides the reg , ular pay. Very few First Georgia men have been s* ■ n on the streets today. All of them are -■ . king by the . amp so tha: they can get the money and discharges as soon as possi •le. Some of the men have been fined for being absent from camp without leave and for other offenses and this will cut their pay down to some extent.

BROKE IN ON THE GUARDS With a Revolver—They Were Over powered, However, and Terri • bly Beaten by Keepers. Bv Associated Press. ‘Columbus, O, Nov. 48.—A desperate at tempt was made by two convicts to escape from the penitentary at 8 o’clock this morning, as a result of which Guard Chas. Ijauterbaugh, of Mt. Vernon, was shot and killed,, while Convicts O’Neill and Atkin son received injuries of a serious nature. O’Neill and Atkinson, who were serving fifteen years each for robbery, obtained possession of a revolver and proceeded to carry out their bold plan. One covered Ms face with a handkerchief and went into the broom shop, where he held up 'guard Lime and took his revolver. He 'then re turned to the shoe shop, where the other guard joined him, and they opened Are on Lauterbaugh, who was in charge of the department. The guard was shot three times and was almost 'instantly killed. The sound of the shooting reached the other officials of the prison and they in a run to investigate the matter. 'Guard Camp was the first on the scene, and taking in the situation, opened fire on the two prisoners. This was returned and a regular battle was in progress until the revolvers of the participants were emptied. In the affray Convict Atkinson was shot down and seriously wounded, and as soon as the guns were emptied Guard Camp rushed in wiith a cane and almost beat O’Neill to death before the prisoner would surrender. The men were taken to the hospital where their injuries were atten ded to. 'Atkinson is shot in the body but is not thought to be seriously hurt, but O’Neill is so badly beaten about 'the head that i't is thought that his injuries may prove fatal. The other prisoners, when the shooting occurred, took no part in the affair, ibut it is understood that they stood ready to fol low if the efforts of the leaders proved suc cessful. Previous to the outbreak one of the two 'men forced a third man to place ' a ladder against the outside of the peni tentiary wall, so when they had fought their way ou of the ehops they could shoot down the wall guard and make their es ea (Hi. EXTRAORDINARY Order of the Golden Fleece Bestowed Upon Faure in Paris Yesterday. By Associated Press. Paris, Nov. 18 —There were' three official functions here yesterday afternoon and evening which aroused considerable inter est among the American peace commis sioners. The first was the bestowal of the Order of the Golden Fleece upon President Faure by the Queen Regent, of Spain through the president of the Spanish pQace com mission. The second was a dinner given by Faure to Senor Montero and his fellow commis- • - sioners. Finally at 9 last night President Faure received the American commissioners tit the Elysee palace, where there was a comic opera entertainment in their honor. There is some surprise among the mem bers of the American colony at the be stowal of the decoration upon the French president at the hands of the Spanish peace commission at this moment and others are asking themselves whether the entertainment at the Elysee palace was to be regarded as a sort of compensation to the Americans whose sensibilities may have been wounded by the bestowal of a Spanish decoration upon President Faure before the conclusion of the peace negotia tions.

SHOWS INCREASE FIFTY_PER CENT Gold Imports and Output from the Mines in this * Country. IMMENSE TRADE EXPORT. Larger for the Month of October Any Preceding Month in History of the Country. By Associated Press. New York, Nov. 18 —A dispatch to the Tribune from Washington says: The importations of gold into the United States in the year, of 1896 are by far Lhe largest in the history of the country and the exportations are the smallest in many years, while the production of gold from American mines prove the largest in many years, if not the largest Tn the country’s annals. The October statement of imports and exports just issued by the treasury bureau of statistics shows that the total imports of gold in the ten months ending October 31, 1898, are $143,658,095, which is more ’than 50 per cent in excess of the amount imported in the corresponding period of any preceding year. The exports in that time have been only $14,061,849, which is less than in the cor responding months of any preceding year more than a decade. This gives the enor mous balance of $129,596,246 in excess of exportations. In only one other year in the decade have the ten months ending with October shown an excess of imports of gold over the exports that occasion be ing in 1896 when 'the excess of imports was $37,085,861. In all other years from 1888 to 1898 the October returns showed for the ten months of the calendar year an excess of exports of gold over the imports of tbt article, that of 1895 being $43,247,360, and 1894, $72,- 808,322. This unprecedented flow of gold into the United State® is accounted- for in part at least by ’the enormous balance of trade in this country’s favor which the ten months of the year have afforded. In those ten months the toital imports of merchandise amounted to only $527,757,954, while the total exports were $987,964,356, a favor able balance of trade of $460,206,,802. The total exports of merchandise for the month of October. 1898, amounted to sllß,- 686,232, a sum larger than in any preced ing October in >the history of the country, the figures for October, 1897 being slll,- 744,517, and those for October, 1896, $113,- ,516.585. The. enormous importation of gold in ex cess of the exportation is plainly percep tible in the increased circulation shown by the figures of the treasury department. The latest statement of the gold in the treasury shows a 'balance of $242,805,604 while the gold in circulation on November 1, was $648,846,727, being $1'10.000,000 greater than on November Ist of last year and nearly $200,000,000 more than on July 1. 18S6, in which month it touched the lowest point in several years. The total money in circulation at the be ginning of the present month is shown by the treasury figures to have been $1866,- 575,782 against $1,706,732,904 the corres ponding date last year and $1,509,725,200 on July Ist, 1896, the increase in circula tion in the last year having been $159,- 842,878 and since July Ist, 1896, $356,850,- 582.

Alillspaugh, euratur of the botanical department of the World’s Co lumbian museum and botanist lecturer at the University of Chicago. The expedi tion -will be absent until -March. Three years ago Mr. Armour acted as the host of a similar party including Mr. Millspaugh also as a guest on a trip to the same country. The result of three months spent along the coast and up the rivers was a rich botanical collection for the museum giving Dr. MiLspaugh material for series of publications on the Flora of the coast and plain regions. It is the intention this time for the party to leave the yacht and proceed into the mountain district on the interior, a region where the flora has been little classified.

WILL STAND UNCHANGED American Commissioners Do Not Propose to yield an Inch to the Spaniards. DEFALCATIONS Os Spanish [Officials is the Cause of the Conditions Laid Down. OFFER OF LUMP SUM For the Philippines Will Be Made, and Spaniards Will Be Obliged to Take or Leave It. By Associated Press. Washington, Ntev. 1S. —The two new ■points laid down by the 'Spanish commis sioners in the answer presented by them at ‘Wednesday’s session of the joint com mission, will not be permitted to change the attitude of the United 'States commis sioners. These points were in substance that the Spaniards could not permit any question to be raised as to the authority of the Spanish government to pledge the re sources of the Philippines to meet the Philippine loan, and that they could not permit an accounting of the method in which the proceeds of this loan had been expended. There is reason to believe*that the Span ish purpose as to conceal the enormous ‘de falcations by the Spanish officials who governed the the Philippines since the loan. The ostensible purpose is 'to be able 'to plead inability to state w>at the pacific expenditures have been on account of the Philippines, which was all the United States proposes to reimburse them for. Our government, however, in anticipa tion of some such evasive dealings, has prepared the American commissioners’ in structions exactly to meet the case. They know approximately the value of the bet terments o's the Philippines, having ob tained this from private, but thoroughly reliable 'sources'. Knowing this they can afford to ignore entirely the efforts of the Spaniards to becloud the facts and adopt the simple expedient of preferring a lump sum of as many million dollars as is deem ed fair and just for the Spanish properties, requiring and tendering, no statement or ■calculation as a basis for the offer. KILLED IN F6G. Eight Italians Run Down on the Pennsylvania Train. By Associated Press. • New York, Nov. 18.—While a gang of 'twenty track hands was at work upon the Pennsylvania railway’s line near Jersey City today they were run down by a local passenger train. Eleven workmen were killed out right and six seriously injured. Only three escaped unhurt. A heavy fog prevailed. The men killed are mostly Italians, living near Jersey City. The train which ran down the workmen was the local from Milltown to Jersey City. The fog delayed the train and Engineer John Van Ostrand was endeavoring to make up the time, 'his train running at a high rate of speed, he believing there was nothing to obstruct the quick run to Jersey City. The first he knew that his train had run into the men was that the engine jarred, then the cries of t'he men fell on his ears and as soon as possible he brought the train to a stop. The male passengers got out and aided the 'trainmen in searching for the bodies of the victims;, A train had passed on the westbound , track a few' minutes before the eastbound train ran the men down. The smoke from the engine of the westbound train went over the eastbound track and the noise of the westbound train prevented the workmen on the eastbound track from hearing the approach of the eastbound train. They were not aware that the train was near them until they had 'been scattered to right and left. When the engine which struck the laborers reached the Pennsylvania depot, Jersey City, the cowcatcher was red with blood from the men killed. A boy after the engine stop ped picked up a hand from the cowcatch er. It had been severed troui one of the victims, DOUBLE WRECK. Wrecking Train Itself Wrecked at Davenport lowa.
