MAY YET TURN BACK. Valuabl. Alllitnnra ltrnilrrrd fly Our Consuls In I-rov.nllnB th« Spanish Admiral From Obtaining Coal. A Washmgton special of Thursday Bays: While not abating its close watch over the Cadis fleet, tho navy department does not feel tho same de gree of apprehension respecting the movements of those ships it did when the start was made for Port Said. The government has done everything pos sible within fair lines to prevent this fleot from reaching the Philippines and the agents of the state department have been particularly successful in this work. United States Consular Agent Broadbent has just made a mas ter stroke which ho reports to tho do- partmout. While the Spanish ships were seek ing permission of tho Egyptian gov ernment to coal at Port Said the eon- snlar officers succeeded in qnietly buying tip all the coal available at the port. This amounted to 20,000 tons and it is in a good place to be shipped to Dowcy; to servo as a base of sup plies for Commodore Watson’s enstern squadron when it enters tho Mediter ranean; or to coal any American vessels that may pass through tho Suez canal bound for the Asiatio station if it should be decided that it is possible for warships to take on coal at Port Said. Tho news that reached the depart ment through the press reports that Admiral Camara is ahont to leave his torpedo boat dostroyors at Port Said because thoy would be unable to weather the monsoons in the Indian ocean at this season, is believed at tho navy department to presage tho dis solution of the squadron and the aban donment of the cruise to the Philip pines. As these torpedo destroyers have proved their ability to oross tho At lantic in bad’weather, it is conjectur ed at the department that tho real reason for turning hnck is one tlint is almost chronic in the Spanish navy, namely, a breaking down or a break age of the machiuory of the craft. Knyptlsn Goverment Firm. The following official announcement was made at Cairo, Egypt, Thnrsday afternoon: "The Spanish ships at Port Said began ooaling from their own colliers which arrived from Spain. The Egypt ian government notiflod thorn that they oouid not allow this; that it must stop forthwith, and that they must also leave Port Soid, as the twenty-four hours’ limit had been greatly exceed ed. The Spaniards then stated that their ships wanted repairs and began discharging coal and othor material in order to repair.” FLANAGAN TURNED DOWN. Judge Candler llefu*<«a to Grant Murderer a Now Trial. Judge John S. Candler formulated his decision on the motion for a now trial in the celebrnted Flanagan mur der case Thursday. Tho new trial wus refused. The points raised by tho defondant’s counsel were givou long and careful consideration. In writing out his de cision the judge did not make an ex tensive review of the enso, but merely held there was no legal ground for an other trial. Tho fact that Judgo Candler had written a letter to the pardon hoard recommending that tho case be dis posed of by commuting Flanagan’s sentence to life imprisonment had givou rise in some quarters to the opinion that he would grant tho appli cation for a new trial. SHIPPERS MUST PAY. Expro** Compaultt* Will Not A**uina Durden of llevenu* Tax. Officials of tho various express com panies, with headquarters in New York, linve decided thnt they cannot assume the burden of the now revenue tax. The shippers will be required to pay this tax plus the regular express companies’ rates. WILL RESIST INVASION. Simulant* D.rlarr They Will FI L -I,t to the Death In Dofrimllng Manila. Dispatches received nt Madrid from Manila, under dato of June 24, say tho Spaniards are determined to fight to tho death, and that there is every roa- son to believe that when the American troops arrive there will be desperate fighting on land and sea. It is supposed at Manila thnt the German warship will prevent the bom bardment of that place, and it is al leged that Prince Henry oi Prussia is on his way there on board a warship. The Spaniards are snid to be active ly engaged pushing p-epurations for the defense of the city. And WMhlnttaafls In Knar Communica tion W|tk AA».ral Shatter. A Washington speoiti says: A. \V. Grealy, chiefoiignal officer, received a dispatch ThulJHay night from Lieuten ant Colonel ^4)sd, ohief signal officer, stating that/a telegraph and telephone etation had been established at a point within two milea of the city of Santiago. This information is of the highest importance to the officials of the war department, as it insures to thorn practically direct communication with Gouoral Shufter. The iuformatiou was significant, too, as it showed that the American troops were in rifle shot of Santiago. The telegraph station being, of course, within the American lines, its location conclusively indicates that the forces of General Shaftor have established themselves in advance of the telegraph station. An Associated Press dispatch from Sibonoy Beach, General Shaftor’s headquarters, Provinoe of Santiago de Cnba, states that Oolonol Alien succeeded Wednesday night in con necting Siboney by cable with Guan tanamo. Adviocs from Daya Dol Este, Guan tanamo bay, state that the Fronoh ca ble, cut some timo ago near Guanta namo by the United States auxiliary cruiser St. Louis, has boon repaired by the cable boat Adria. Tho connection was established bo- twoeu General Shaftor’s headquarters at Baiqniri and Guantanamo, tho lino boing used for government business so far. CIVILIANS ACCOMPANY MERRITT.

A Washington dispatoli states that General Merritt has taken with him to tho Philippines a largo staff of civilians, who aro expected to assist iu tho oxoa- utive duties oounocted with he form of government he is authorized by tho president to establish. The scopo of his orders is an executive secret,known only to the president and very few other offioials of the government. The fnct lenked out Thursday that General Merritt took with him about thirty or thirty-five civilians who aro experts in the several branohes of executive government. Tho customs service is represented by several men who aro familiar with all that pertains to the collection of rovenues and the customs brauoh of the service. There are also several oxpert accountants, several interna tional corporation lawyers, togothor with a staff of typewriters and clerical assistants, prepared to aid in the tran saction of the governmental business in accordance with tho instructions General Merrit has received from tho president. TENNESSEE DEMOCRATS PLEASED. Tlio State Convention A.oompIDhed It. Labors IIarn*<Miloti*ly. A Chattanooga special says: Tho stnte democratic convention Wednes day and tho harmony and tranquility with wliioh it accomplished its labors is still a matter of felicitation to tho departing delegates, Tho convention, beside tho nomination of statehouso officers, had for consideration several important issues, and tints additional interest was lent its deliberations. It did not take the delegates long to got down to hard work and permanent organization was soon completed by tho election of Hon. Alfred S. Dead- eriek, of Washington county, as per manent chairman, and othor prominent democrats in subordinate positions. The convention heard several speeches and then committoo on platform re ported. The following plank declar ing for free silver, is strong enough to leave no doubt of the financial senti ments of the delegates: “We hereby indorse the enunciation of principles contained in tho demo cratic platform adopted by the national democratic convention at Chicago in 189(5, it being n true expression of the domooratic creed. Wo especially reaf firm our demand for the restitution of the money of tho constitution by a law providing for the freo and unlimited coinage of gold and silver at a ratio of 1(5 to 1, without wniting for the con sent of any othor nation." Much interest was taken in the con vention for another reason—curiosity as to how it would ileal with tho new railroad commission recently created by the legislature. This measure passed the body only after a hard fight. A dispatch of Wednesday from Ha vana says: The oommauder of the Spanish gunboat Anlilla reports that while reconnoitcring on Jnna 26th at ; Coiotua, Punta Cortes and other plaoes I at Coyaoia, he was informed that -a strange steamer with one smokestack, apparently a warship of 3,000 tons, was in sight. The stranger soon 1 caught sight of the Ardiila and pur* sued her. The gnnhoat kept within | the blue aen and aucoeoded in keeping ! out of range of her pnrsuer. To the i southeastward the stranger, whioh I turnod out to bo an American warship, appeared to be iu company with other vessels. P 7 The Adrilla made a reoonnoissance I on the following day, June 27tli, and | discovered that the American ship had j captured the sloops Nemesis, of Bata bano, province of Havana; Amisila ' and Manuelito, of Coiotua, provinco of Pinar del Rio, and the pilot boats Lnz and Jaoiuto. It is claimed that when the sloops were sighted the American ship hoisted tho Spanish flag, hslioving he had to do with a | Spanish warship. The pilot also ap proached the American vessel and did not find out his mistake until a blank shot and afterwards loaded shells wore I fired at tho pilot boat. | The shells, it 1b exclaimed,exploded near her. The American ship by this i timo seemeu to have driven the Span- , ish craft into a bunch, including the Luz, Jacinto and Amistad, Nemesia | and Mnuueiita. The latter, it is fur ther alleged, let go thoir anchors aud wore abandoned by their crows, who made for the shore, going in the direc tion of Pnnta de Piedras, on tho south- ! western extramity of Pinar del Bio, betwoen tho Isle of Pines and the 1 mainland. The oommnnder of the Nemesis, with one of his orew, re- ! mained on board his sloop and was captured and* taken on board tho ! American ship. Lnter ho was set at j liberty after having boon questioned in rogard to tbo Spanish fleet and gen- ' era! situation of affairs. Tho Amorican ship is described os j carrying one forward gun, one at her stern and four guns on oach side. She in said to have boon commanded by a | “frigate capain” and to have “carried about six hundred men with blue | pants and red fringe," who said thoy wero going to Cuba aud afterwards to Key West.

A QUESTION OF CHEESE. CoiiffreBHinan* Allan Knllvan* IIou*a Ily ItoHMtlnjc Gronvenor. A Washington dispatch says: The house Wednesday incidentally onjoyed a speech from Mr. Allen, of Missis sippi, which precipitated a political episode in which Mr. Grosvonor, re publican, of Ohio, and Mr. Bailey, democrat, of Texas, figured as prince pais. The discussion was precipitated by the hill to increase tho daily army ra tion by the addition tri-weekly of one- qnurter of a pound of full cream Amorican cheese and two ounces of canned corn. The bill was attacked as presented not in response to the de mand of the army, but of the oheese- makors. CONGRESS HONORS HEROES. Hobson Thanked xnrl Transferred From Construction Corp* to the Lino.
