British Newspapers Pay Glowing)
Tributes to the American Navy—
A Lesson to the Continent, the
Spectator Says.
London, July 9.—The weekly newspapers today in discussing the war
all pay glowing tributes to the American navy. Even The Saturday Re
view says:
“It is impossible not to feel a certain pride in these achievements of
men of our own race. Every Englishman, too, will remember that it
was the possession of this same quality, the fine marksmanship which
the Americans displayed, which gave us victories both on land and sea,
from Crecy to the Crimea, and something peculiar and noble happened
in this fight which showed in a far higher way the kinship between the
two peoples: ‘Don’t cheer,’shouted Captain Philip, ‘the poor devils are
dying.’
“It seems to us;that this expression of tender, sympathetic humanity is
just as fine as the ‘Kiss me, Hardy,’ of the dying Nelson.”
The Spectator, in a long article on the same subject, says:
“The first thought of all Englishmen is that the American fleet did its
work splendidly. The whole performance of Admiral Sampson’s fleet
was in accordance with the best traditions of Anglo-Saxon navies, and
every Englishman has read of their doings with a flush of pride.
There was the same old hard-pounding steadiness, daring, coolness and
reckless dash. The moral aspect of what was almost the first and what
may be the last fleet action between the Spanish and English races is
very much alike. In both cases it was the men behind the gun who, in
the last resort, won the battle.
“The battle shows that the American navy is a most efficient fighting
machine. We did not need to be told that here. We knew it already
and realized of what stuff the lion’s whelps are made. They, however,
did not know it on the continent, though they apparently know it now.”

FROM THE CLASSIC CITY.
President Bradwell Win Chaperone Two Hun
dred Normal School Teachers—The Sons
of Veterans Will Have at Least
Two Hundred in Attendance.
There will be a great crowd to go over
from Athens to Atlanta to attend the
re-union of Confederate Veterans.
The great re-nnion opens on the 20th
inst., and will be in session until the
23rd. The greater number of Athenian
visitors have decided to go over on the
20th. A round trip rate of $1.45 has
been obtained.
The Confederate Veterans are taking
a great deal of interest in the re-union,
and it is believed that fully one hun
dred and fifty old veterans from Athens
and Clarke county will attend. The
members of Cobb-Deloney camp can se
cure their badges by calling at the store
of Capt. James O’Farrell, comer Broad
and Wall streets.
The Sons of Veterans from this city
will be on hand in force. It is believed
that fully two hundred will attend the
re-union from this point.
President Bradwell, of the State Nor
mal School, will carry over in a body
two hundred teachers now at that insti
tution of learning.

City of Santiago a Mass of Ruins-
Will Be Occupied Today.
Washington, July 11.—The bombardment of Santiago continued
throughout the day.
The city was a mass of ruins before night and the Spanish losses were
very heavy. The American loss was very light.
The fear is entertained here that during the prolonged armistice, a
great number of Spanish soldiers escaped from Santiago.
Shatter Has Been Instructed
To Capture Liuares.
Washington, July 11.—Notice from General Shafter to the effect that
he proposed to begin the assault and bombardment of Santiago today in
tensified the interest with which news from the front is being awaited at
the war department and there were many inquiries at the office of the
adjutant general, beginning in the early morning for the latest dispatch
es. To all of these but one answer was returned :
“General Shafter has been given a free hand to deal witn the situation,
subject to the condition, namely, that the Spaniards in Santiago must be
captured, and he had not informed the war department as to the details
of his plans further than was indicated in the dispatches received from
him yesterday. The president himself was so much concerned over the
possible escape of the Spanish force that he directed the sending of ex
plicit orders to General Shafter to prevent it at all hazards. .
“Shafter reports that he expects to complete his lines today, presuma
bly using for the purpose the. reinforcements which reached him Satur
day and yesterday, and it is expected that the attack will be no longer de
layed.”
A gentleman related an interesting
story of the civil war to a Banner repor
ter yesterday. __
In the early stages of the war, Capt.
Isaac S. Vincent organized a splendid
company to go to the front.
Just before departing for Virginia,
Capt. Vincent called bis company to
gether near Wray’s church in Clarke
county, now Oconee, and there came
also a number of ladies aud friends of
the soldiers, bringing well-filled baskets
for the basket dinner that was to be
spread.
After the company had assembled, a
speech was made by one of the officers,
afterWhich the crowd sang a divine
hymn with much feeling.
Then the company began to march.
As each member passed a certain spot
he picked up a spade and shoveled out
one spadeful of dirt.
Then a complete roster of the compa
ny was made up and sealed up in a bot
tle, each member enrolling his own
name on the piece of parchment.
The bottle containing the roster was
then put in the hole, and a fervent
prayer was offered, after which another
hymn was sung. Then the company
circled around again and each one shov
eled back one spadeful of dirt.
So far as the knowledge of the gen
tler lan relating the incident goes, the
roster of Capt. Vincent’s gallant com
pany still rests in the soil of Oconee
county, where it was buried on that
day.

A Most Popular Weapon for Offensive and
Defensive Purposes.
The main batteries of all the gunboats
in the navy are made up to 4-inch rapid-
fire rifles, which are altogether the most
popular weapons in the service for of
fensive and defensive * purposes on the
lighter vessels. The Castiue, the Helena,
the Machias. the Nashville and the
Wilmington are each equipped with
eight of these guns, while the Annapolis,
the Marietta, the Newport, the Prince
ton, tne Vicksburg and the Wheeling
each mount six of them. The Bancroft
relies upon four, and the Dolphin upon
two as their chief fighting pow ers. Even
the formidable Iowa has six of them
upon her superstructure to deter the ap
proach of torpedo boats, and the armor
ed cruiser New York mounts twelve in
her secondary battery. The fastest two
vessels in the navy, the Columbia and
the Minneapolis, have eight apiece, and
the double-turret monitor Puritan is
provided with six to support her four 12-
inch monsters. The chief advantage of
these guns lies in their extreme rapidity
of fire and ease of manipulation, while
their penetrating power at all ranges
enables their projectiles easily to pierce
all unarmored cruisers and lightly pro
tected gun positions.
This gnu of four inches caliber weighs,
without its mount, one and one-half
tons, or exactly 3,400 pounds. Its length
is 13.7 feet, and its greatest outside
diameter is 13 iuclies, its total length of
bore being 157.5 iuches, and the length
rifle bore 128.12 inches. The twist of
its rifliug begins at zero and increases to
5, there being thirty grooves. It
fires a 33-pound shell with fourteen
pounds of smokeless powder, which
develops a muzzle velocity of 2,000 feet
second, and a muzzle energy of 916
foot tons. Such a shot will perforate a
inch plate near the muzzle, and will
go clear through a o-inch plato at 1,500
yards’ distance. Ordinary crews on all
the gunboats get a rapidity of fire of six
minute out of these 4-inch rifles, four
men handling the ammunition, while
two sight the piece and fire it. This
speed enables a 4-inch gun to throw as
much weight in a given time as the 5-
inch rifle, which is practically twice its
size, the latter weighing three tons and
firing under the best conditions four 50-
pound shells in a minute. The best
penetration of the 5-inch rifle is barely
an inch more than that of the 4-inch at
all ranges, but in ten minutes the 4-inch
gun will throw sixty well-aimed shots,
while the 5-inch cannot be relied upon
to throw more than thirty.—New York
Tribune.
Persons troubled with diarrhoea will
be interested in the experience of Mr.
W. M. Bush, clerk of Hotel Dorrance,
Providence, B. I. He says: “For sev
eral years I have been almost a constant
sufferer from diarrhoea, the frequent at
tacks completely prostrating me and
rendering me unfit for my duties at this
hotel. About two years ago a traveling
salesman kindly gave me a small bottle
of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. Much to my sur
prise and delight its effects were imme
diate. Whenever I felt symptoms of
the disease I would fortify myself
against the attack with a few doses of
this valuable remedy. The result has
been very satisfactory and almost com*
pleterelief from the affliction.” For
