Spain is Anxious to Bring the
War to Speedy Close-
WILL FORME FIGHTING
Active Preparations to Press War
Wore Vigorously Demonstrate
That Early Peace Is Improbable.
President Will Be Generous When
Negotiations Are Begun But Will
Ketain Captured Territory.
Washington. July 19.—(Si>eciaL)—The
fact that the Stars and Stripes
brought the Spanish government some
what to its senses.
it can be stated on the (beat of au
thority that an intimation has been re
ceived by 'the administrat - '—' at Wash
ing! >n that the Madrid government i»
n >t only willing, (but is now desirous,
of securing jHiace. This indication dots
not come direct from Spain, nor is it in
such a form as to be considered official.
Nevertheless, 'the source through
which the intimation is given is such as
to attract «■■ ; iousatt<ntion irnd hold out
hope tth.it the future may lead to open
nee tintions. All th'.vt ran be said today
in reg.n 1 to this matter is that the
so. :es;,on is merely tentative. It may
h.,1 I to greater things, and then again
it may go no furtther than the mere in
tima'" n it is at present.
It is deemed certain here thkit Spain
t. ,i . i.y the fall of Santiago that her
<*:>••,» is hopeless, and to resist further
meins utt. r destruction. The intima
tion that has come to Washington to
day is based on humanitarian grounds
md ropri '-ents 'Spain, for the sake of
humanity, being willing to cense the
unequal struggle and save to the world
n re horror, bloodshed and destruc
tion.
The fainltness of this first overture,
If such it may be called, has not
(■wakened in Washington any antici,pa
ti, .n of :r sudden termination of the war.
The administration realizes the oharac
'teristlics of the Spanish people and their
desire to gain delay by continual pro
crastination, and wlhile the Wtahington
authorities recognize Spain’s position,
nothing official has been done in the
matter: the diplomatic intimation has
been mot only in the spirit In which It
was tendered.
The administration has held and still
holds that all overtures for peace must
come from Spain direct, and while the
president has no desire to be harsh or
stringent in his terms lie nevertheless
intends that this government shall dic
tate and not be dictated to.
It is stated by high authorities that
the eyes of Spain have been opened by
out treatment of the vanquished nt San
tiago. The reception and care given to
Admiral Cervena and ihis officers and
seamen, followed by tibe magnanimous
offer of the president to return the
Spanish troops from Santiago to Spain
has shown the Madrid government that
they have a generous foe to deal with
and that the wisest and best policy now
is to sue for peace. The only question
remains whether the pride of Slpain will
allow itself to be eo humbled as to sue
direct. The developments of the last 24
hours have given the administration
here the hope but not the assurance
that this will be done.
The active preparations that are being
made to press forward the war vigor
ously demonstrate that the administra
tion has not seriously contemplated ear
ly peace as a probability.
“Forward and force the fighting," is
the general cry. Men who think they
know something of the feeling of the
president in the matter say that expres
sions favorable to peace which have
emanated from the -white house have
had no significance beyond an expres
sion of an ever present desire that the
war shall be terminated as soon as It
can be on terms entirely satisfactory
to this country. It does not mean, they
say, that this government Is waiting
anxiously to consider any sort of over
tures that Spain may make.
The prompt and firm refusal of the
president to permit the surrendering
Spanish at Santiago to take their arms
and the order to General Shafter to per
mit of no further parleying is pointed
to as nn evidence that the president is
not disposed to consider anything but
complete subjection on the part of
Spain to the terms which this govern
ment may dictate. It is not believed
that the president is disposed to insist
upon harsh 'terms, but whatever the
terms are they must be entirely at (the
■will of this government.
There is no evidence yet that Spain
is in a frame of mind to look the situa
tion squarely in the face and accept the
inevitable, and preparations tire being
made to prosecute the war in a manner
to impress upon Spain her entire help
lessness.
When the time comes for Spain to
throw herself upon our mercy, suing
for peace, it is believed that the pres
ident will be disposed’ to be as generous
as the circumstances admit. But it is
expected that this generosity will be
expressed in the lightness of the indem
nity demanded, and not in the restora
tion to Spanish control of territory
which she has lost in the war.
It is pointed out a restoration of Por
to Rico or the Philippines to Spain
would be a sacrifice of those islands
rather than of the interests of this gov
ernment, and it is not likely that we
will be generous with an enemy at the
expense of other people. A war of hu
manity, having fur its object the free
dom of Cuba, it is believed will not be
terminated without some regard being
given to the claim upon our humanity
•by the people of the Philippines.

Incidents Interesting Alike to
Wearers of Blue and Gray*
GENERAL JOSEPH If HEELER
How He Took Short Cut at Benton
ville and Drew Fire of Federal!.
After Passing Through Shower of
Bullets He Raised His Hat and
Saluted the Enemy.
Editors Chronicle: —Apropos of the
grand reunion of Confederate Veterans
soon to be held in the city of Atlanta,
the following incidents are given:
At Bentonville, Gen. Joseph Wheeler,
desirous to go by the shortest route
from one point to another on the Con
federate line, made his horse jump the
earthworks and 'then went trotting up
the line in full view of the Federals.
They opened lire at once, and treated
the gallant little general to a perfect
shower of bullets. He rode on, undis
mayed and unhurt. Having reached the
point he sought, Wheeler turned his
horse squarely to the Federal front,
took off his hat and saluted the enemy.
Thereupon, the firing ceased, and a
great cheer went up from the Federal
line. The general then turned his
horse about and had him Jump the
earthworks. It is almost unnecessary
to say that Wheeler was received by his
comrades with a shout that made the
welkin ring.
Os all the distinguished Confederate
leaders who survived the war, none set
the people as a whole, our young men
and women in particular, a more glori
ous example than Gen. Robert E. Lee.
He did not talk it; he just lived it.
During his presidency of the Washing
ton-Lee university, he never made al
lusion to himself, in connection with
any of his lectures on history Which
necessarily required some reference to
the great struggle in which he was a
central figure, except on one occasion.
In the course of a lecture, he mentioned
the following incident: He said he was
riding through the mountains one day,
In vacation time. Ahead of film, he
saw a man trudging along. Tn a short
time, he overtook him. As he got quite
near the man, the latter turned quickly,
and, with a modest salutation, asked:
"Is not that General Lee?"
"Yes,” was the kindly reply of the
old hero.
"Well, I’m mighty glad to see you,
general. I often talk to my wife about
you. General, would you mind dis
mounting for a little while?”
"Centlainly not,” said General Lee,
and the next moment he was standing
'I eside his admirer.
"General. I have 'followed you many
n mile. I ha ve heard the boys tell about
holding your 'horse when you’d be near
th? ' ne of battle. J said to my wifi the
other day that if I could just hold
your horse one time I'd die happy. Can
1 hold him. General?”
“Certainly, if it will bonny gratlflca
cat'i i> to you, my old ■comrade.”
The old veteran took hold of the bridle,
an I, patting the horse's head, gave ut
ti’i-ni e through liis shining face to the
n iasuro of genuine delight lie was ex
j orami'ing.
.After a little while, he said:
"General, would it be any h.'t.Ti if I
should give just one old time Confeder
ate yell'.”
"No,” said 'the general, “yell as long
an t as loud as you please.”
The old vet. took off his hat, and,
waving it above his head, gave three
yells that echoed and re-echoed through
the country round.
When he turned to General !•■?, the
tri’rs were chasing one another (town
his cheeks, and the noble old patriot—
clarum et venerablle nomen —imade no
effort to press back the tears which
came to his eyes.
The general mounted his hors?, and,
after an affectionate leave-taking, he
and his war-worn comrade went each
his way.
To my mind, that little incident was
eloquence of ttihe rarest kind.
It may not be out of place to recite
a historical fact illustrative of the sol
dierly qualities of friend and foe alike.
It was born on the 12th of May—this
fact. What soldier who passed through
the battle of 'the Wilderness to Spots
sylvaniit court house will not instantly
recall the 12th of May and the contest
ait the "salient” or the "bloody angle?"
For 20 consecutive hours, without one
moment's cessation, the roll of musket
ry was heard—not as on a holiday, but
doing deadly work. Gordon and Evans,
Pegram and Perrin. McGowan and
Ramseur were there. These were
among the generals—their swords flash
ing brightest where the battle raged
fiercest; and the men wlhose matchless
courage made generals and crowned
with glory the commands to which they
belonged were there also. Berry Ben
son and Bud C. Wall and thousands of
others were there through that terrific
battle of 20 consecutive hours—a con
test so tierce that an oak 22 inches in
diameter was cut down by the constant
scaling of the minnie balls. The history
5 f the world’s wars furnishes the facts
of no battle comparable to this one.
Looking upon the participants then, we
said they were Confederate soldiers on
one side and Union soldiers on the oth
er side. but. today, calmly recalling
events that made history, we say the
parties to that memorable contest were
Americans. And thus it happened that,
fighting at the salient all day long and
until past midnight, neither side was
able to drive the other. M. V. C.

ROSTER OF 'SPANISH PRISONERS.

Washington. July 19.—The War de

SJIOKELESS POM
B MM FOB
Warshipa and Army to be Sup
plied With That Explosive.
2,000,000 POUNDS NEEDED
That Much to Supply Ships Now in
Commission and Building—Higher
Velocity Imparted to Projectiles.
Absence of Smoke Enables Gun
ners to Maintain Continuous Fire.
New York, July 19.—The Herald's
Washington correspondent says:
All ships of the navy supplied with
ammunition In the future will receive
smokeless powder. American volun
teers will also be supplied as rapidly a*
possible with a smokelees brand of ex
plosive for their small arms. This is
the Intention of the naval and army
bureaus of ordinance, and every effort
Is being made to expedite the manu
facture of smokeless powder in ord -r
that both services may be supplied with
It with all possible dispatch.
Captain Charles O’Neil, chief of the
naval ordinance bureau, told me to
day that he was doing everything in his
power to replace the brown powder now
on board the men-of-war with smoke
less powder, but the plants capable of
turning out this explosive have a limit
ed capacity and the supply is not equal
to the demand.
To fill the magazines of the ships now
in commission and the. battleships
Rearsage, Kentucky, Illinois, Alabama
and Wisconsin, which are under con-
Btru'ction, Captain O'Neil lias estimated
that at least 2,600,000 pounds of the ex
plosive Will be necessary. Both the
Dupont powder works and the Cali
fornia powder works are manufactur
ing smokeless powder for the navy and
they have considerably enlarged their
plants .since the preparations for war
were first begun. Al that time it was
absolutely necessary to have powder
and Captain O’Nell therefore placed
contracts for brown powder, which
could be turned out with great rapidity
and in such quantities that all the ships
could have an ample supply. I under
stand that it Jis Captain O’Neil’s inten
tion, just aw soon as circumstances wiii
permit, to take measures to form a re
serve supply of smokeless powder.
This cannot be done, however, until
the close of the war. The uepartment
lias made every effort to secure smoke
less powder, even going so far as to
purchase a supply abroad.
Most of the smokeless powder manu
factured in Europe is a nitro com
pound which is apt to decompose and
endanger the safety of the ship. The
smokeless powder being manufactured
for tihe navy in this country, known as
the "Navy K” brand, is free from ni
tric acids. It was developed by Lieut.
J. A. Bernadou, the hero of the Car
denas engagement. The auxiliary
cruiser Yankee is the latest ship to be
supplied with smokeleas powder. While
at New York, she took on board a sup
ply- «t
Commander W. H. Brownson, her
commander, who was in Washington
yesterday, told ime that he was highly
pleased with the action of the ordinance
bureau in giving him smokeless pow
der. He said:
"In attacking fortifications smokeless
powder is but slightly superior to
brown powder, but in an engagement
with a fleet it is of the greatest value.
A higher velocity is imparted to pro
jectiles and the absence of smoke en
ables the gunners to maintain a con
tinuous and steady fire "
(Besides the Yankee, the ships now in
service supplied with smokeless pow
der are the New Orleans, Newark. Cin
cinnati, and some of the gunboats.
Captain O’Neil has giffen instructions
for supplying smokelees powder for the
cruisers Chicago and Atlanta.
Although the army ordnance bureau
has a reserve supply of 50,000 Krag-
Jorgensen rifles, dit is not proposed to
place them in the hands of the volun
teers. These troops •will retain the
Springfield rifles, but 'they will be sup
plied with smokeless powder cartridges.
The result of the campaign against
Santiago de Cuba has been to demon
strate the vital importance of equip
ping all our troops with smokeless
powder and this •will be done in the
future. The army has been collecting
quite a supply of smokeless powder and
1 was told today that it had sufficient
on hand to equip almost all of the
troops which will be sent to Porto
Rico.

Among Yesterday’s Arrivals.
Atlanta, July 13.—Confederate veter
ans and their friends from all parts of
the south arrived by the thousands to
day to be present at the eighth annual
reunion which begins tomorrow. From
early morning until late Into the night
ewry train brought in the old heroes
and their escorts and a conservative
estimate of the number of people who
came into Atlanta today is 15.000. The
weather Is delightful, and from the re
ports received by railroad men, it is be
lieved that the crowd which will arrive
tomorrow will bring the total attend
ance up to the 50,000 mark.
Among the distinguished veterans
who are now in the city are Gen.
Stephen D. Lee, commander-in-chief or
the Army of Tennessee; Gen. Charles

Idyl Jett, Misses Irene Hurt and Bessie
Walthen and Col. O. Steele, all of Dal
las. Miss Jett is sponsor of the United
Confederate Veterans of Texas.
The arrival of Gen. Stephen D. Lee
b'ais created a great deal of enthusiasm,
and there is much talk of his election
as commander-in-chief. Before his ar
rival a good deal was heard of this,
and last night an enthusiastic admirer
of General Lee, said that if he would
accept the office he could be elected.
Genera! Lee, however, declines to
commit herself. Adjutant General
Moorman, of New' Orleans, has a host of
friends who favor him for the next
commander-in-chief, as the gallant
Louisianan Is very popular with all
classes and it is known he has a strong
following.
Deeipi'te these booms, there is a deep
sentiment in favor of the central figure
of Confederacy. Gon. .Tofan B. Gordon.
It is believed that the general, owing to
his falling health, will decline a repeti
tion of the famous scene at the Nash
ville convention Is anticipated ending in
the forcing of the place upon General
Gordon.

SEVEN PEOPLE KILLED
Five Officers, the Refugee and Lady

Several Others Badly Injured.
Great Damage Wrought for Miles
Around by Force of Explosion.
Chinaman Blown to Atoms.
Oakland, Cal., July 19.-The works of
the Western Fuse and Explosive com
pany were blown up by a murderous
Chinaman at S:2O o’clock this morning.
Five deputy sheriffs and constables
who were trying to arrest the murder
er were killed. The dead are:
Deputy Sheriffs Charles White, son
of Sheriff White, George Woodsum, D.
C. Cameron.
Constables Gus Koch, J. J. Lerri,
Mrs. Hill, Coon Ng Chung.
The Chinaman had fortified himself
in the magazine, and blew It up when
the attempt to arrest him was made.
The Celestial, who was employed in
the works, and who caused the awful
explosion, had killed a fellow-country
man yesterday afternoon In a quarrel
over a Chinese lottery ticket. He then
defied the officers, who went to arrest
him. The murderer fled into the mag
azine, which contained five tons of
giant powder, barricaded himself and
threatened to blow up the magazine if
any one came to arrest him.
Deputy Sheriff Charles White, son of
Sheriff White, in charge of a posse,
consisting of Constable Gus Koch,
Deputy Sheriff George Woodsum, De
puty Sheriff D. C. Cameron, Deputy
Constable J. J. Lerri. and Deputy
Constable Harry Cramer, were on the
scene of the shooting shortly after the
murder, and kept guard over the Chi
naman within his stronghold. All the
officers were armed with rifles.
After repeated demands to surrender
had been made, to all of which the
same reply came, “If you come in here
I will blow up the magazine,” the offi
cers retired for 'the night within the
private office of the company, about I'.O
yards away.
This morning at 5 o’clock Deputy
Sheriff Charles White, after a consul
tation with the others, determined to
break down the barricade, not believ
ing 'the Chinaman would keep his
promise.
Accordingly, the entire posse headed
for the door. True to his word, the
Chinaman fired the giant powder, kill
ing five officers and blowing the Chin
aman to atoms so small that but one
piece has been found.
White’s body was fearfully mangled.
It was found nearly 500 yards away.
Mrs. Hill was visiting a Mrs. Pride
who lived across the way. She was
killed in the falling debiis of the build
ing.
All the buildings caught fire. En
gines were soon fighting the flames,
but to no avail. The works were com
pletely wrecked.
Four houses were also blown down,
and about 40 partially wrecked.
Deputy Sheriff Fred Sheritt and De
puty Ed. White escaped, but are pain
fully wounded.
Deputy Sheriff Sheriff's story is to
the effect that, at 5 o’clock this morn
ing, the Chinaman called to Deputy
Sheriff White that he would surrender.
White, Woodsum and Koch immedi
ately proceeded to the door, while the
others followed. Just as the door was
reached the sound as of a falling plank
was heard,, and then the explosion oc
curred.
The name of the Chinaman was
Goon Ng Chung. The man he mur
dered was Sam Si S'ing.
Coroner Wadeni and a corps of depu
ties are searching through the sur
rounding fields for the remains. In
some Instances they had to be picked
up with shovels.
Fourteen cars were blown to splin
ters and several were burned. Win
dows were broken in Oakland, Alama
da, and as far as Berkely.
Sheritt and Ed. White are nervous
wrecks. They were carried over 40 feet
by the force of the explosion, and
thrown violently to the ground.

NO YELLOW FEVER AT TAMPA.
President Henderson Puts Quietus on
Sensation Mongers.
Jacksonville, Fla., July 19.—‘The report
of yellow fever in Tampa was circu
lated in and about Jacksonville today
and, although the office of the state
board of health was ‘positive that it
was the work of some "calamity liar,"
yet a message was dispatched to Hon.
W. B. Henderson, president of the
state board of health, resident in Tam
pa, to which the following is the reply:
"Tampa, Fla., July 19.
"Frank B. Matthews, Secretary, Jack
sonville, Fla.
"No foundation for report, not even a
suspicious case of fever either in city
or camps.
(Signed.)
"WM. B. HENDERSON.
"President State Board of Health.”
There is a statute on the subject
which imposes a penalty upon any one
who can be convicted of disseminating
such rumors, and the health officials are
only too anxious to "make an ex
ample."
PRINCE OF WALES’ INJURIES.
More Serious Than First Reported—His
Friends Apprehensive.
London, July 19.—A bulletin issued
tonight at Marlborough house says:
"The Prince of Wales has passed a
fairly comfortable day, considering the
severe accident from which he is suf
fering.”
The affair causes some anxiety. An
other surgeon has been called in and
Roentgen rays are being employed. It
is feared that the accident will compel
the prince to remain in doors for a
month.
Fears are expressed that the injury to
the knee cap may result in a perma
nent -weakness, perhaps in lameness.
AU his engagements for the next four
weeks have been cancelled.
Matarion is devoid of hitter taste.
Cures Chills and Fever; acts on the liver and
regulates the system generally. All Druggists
OFF FOR ATLANTA.
Athens, July 19.—(Special.)—An im
mense crowd will leave here tomorrow
on the Veterans’ special t<o Atlanta.
From all sections we hear of parties
who will be here in the morning to
take the special.
Athens is soon to lose a first class ho
tel man. Mr. Brinson, of the Commer
cial, will take charge of the new hotel
at Green wod. S. C., on September 1.
Ruth, the little daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. R. L. Broadberry, sustained pain
ful injuries a few days ago. A heavy
window sash fell on her hand, break
ing one finger and badly lacerating the
others.
Athens has lost her Y. M. C. A. sec
retary. Mr. Yaunts left Sunday for
Tampa to do Y. M. C. A. work with
the Second Georgia regiment
An old-fashioned basket picnic is to
be held at Pittman’s mill, near here, on
the 28th. A speech will be made 'by-
Georgia's biggest farmer, Hon, Joseph
M. Smith.
The Athens Gun club, a comparative
ly new organization, is furnishing a
pleasant pastime to many of the
men. > h V
