Thought To Be Friendly,
FIVE AMERICANS KILLED AND MANY MORE WOUNDED.
Transport Sherman, With Troops Aboard, Arrives at
Manila—California Tenders Volunteers,
A special from Manila ays: A bat
tnllion of the Fourth infantry which
left Jmus, where General Wheaton is in
command, Monday to reconnoiter
toward Fares L/as Marinas, where it
was believed most of the rebels who
escaped from Pnranque and Baeoor
had fled, was attacked in the rear by
apparently friendly natives.
This brought on a sharp engage
ment, lasting several hours, resulting
in five Americans being killed and
about twenty-five wounded. The loss
of the rebels was very heavy.
The battalion soon exhausted its
ammunition and at 2:30 Monday after
noon General Wheaton and his staff,
with the Second battalion, two mount
ed guns and one field piece, went to
re-enforce the troops attacked. Gen
eral Wheaton was fired on iu a road
and had a narrow escape.
Later, the Third battalion was or
dered to the front, and formed on the
Las Marinas road. Heavy firing on
both sides followed, the artillery be
ing freely used.
The enemy was located in the woods
at 4 o’clock, showing signs of retiring,
as the rebels were being pressed very
hard. One gun of the Sixth artillery,
in an advantageous position, did great
execution. The fighting was still in
progress at 5 o’clock, at which time
the Americans had secure! a quautity
of Filipino arms which had been
abandoned in the woods.
The seene of the fight is over twenty
-miles from Manila.

Volunteer* For Philippines.
T 1 le following telegram was received
at the war department Monday from
the two California senators:
“San Fijancisco, June 17.—Hon.
11. C. Corbin, Adjutant General, Wash
ton —Southern California supports ad
ministration in its efforts to suppress
Philippine insurrection and tenders
the president for immesliate service
well organized and thoroughly dis
ciplined regiment of infantry. Offi
cers aud men ready to embark as soon
as necessary field equipment can be
furnished. George C. Perkins,
“Stephen M. White.”
It is stated at the war department
that no action can be taken in the mat
ter of the California regiment oflered
by Senators Perlfins and WLite. The
question of calling for volunteers has
not been determined; besides, it is not
intended to organize state troops if
volunteers are called for.
To Kstnblisli Model Camp.
A Washington dispatch says: The
cable message of General Otis regard
ing the wishes of the volunteers was
in response to a specific inquiry of the
war department based upon its de
clared policy of having each volunteer
organization elect whether it should
be mustered out at San Francisco or at
its home station. It appears from
General Otis’ message that the volun
teer organizations prefer to disband at
San Francisco, in accordance with the
original arrangements of the war de
partment.
A model camp has been established
at San Francisco, provided w ith every
facility for the comfort and conve
nience of the returning soldiers. It
has been deemed advisable from a san
itary standpoint to keep each organi
zation in the camp at least two or
three w'eeks before permitting the men
to go their homes and scatter through
the country.
BKOUUHToi IS SATISFIED.
Conduct of Atlanta'* Mayor Will He In
vestigated.
A special from Atlanta states that as
a result of Dr. Leu G. Broughton’s
fierce attack on Mayor Woodward
from his pulpit at the Tabernaclo Bap
tist church Sunday night, the city
couueil took up the matter Monday
afternoon and unanimously decided
to investigate the charges against tba
mayor.
Dr. Broughton is thoroughly satis
fied with the action of the council. He
expected nothing else. He claims
that he has sufficient evidence to im
peach Mayor Woodward, and that
there can be no doubt of bis guilt. In
fact, Dr. Broughton claims that Mayor
Woodward confessed to the charges
made against him and decided to throw
himself on tho mercy of the council.
The excitement in the city all day
Monday was at fever heat. The ser
mon of Dr. Broughton created one of
1 the greatest sensations ever known in
the history of Atlanta.
It will doubtless take some time for
the committee to fiuish its investiga
tions. There will boa regular trial,
to which witnesses will be summoned
by both sides.

Happenings In the State of Inter
esting Import.
Fair Coinmlll.* Mwt.
An enthusiastic meeting of the ex
ecutive committee of the state fair was
held in Atlanta a day or two ago, pre
sided over by President J. Pope
Brown of the State Agricultural So
ciety.
The meeting was an important one
in that the different members of the
committee were made thoroughly ac
quainted with the vast amount of work
which has been accomplished by the
local committee, which has in charge
the Atlanta end of the fair. The re
sult will be that the non-residents will
go to their homes the possessors of a
valuable fund of information which
they will use to advantage in working
up interest in their several localities.
President Brown called the meeting
for the express purpose of presenting
a plau for further advertising the fair.
The feature of the meeting was a par
tial adoption of this plan, which con
sists in sending four canvassers to dif
ferent sections of the state to person
ally talk with the farmers and impress
upon them the importance of making,
exhibits. The original intention was
to send a much larger number of can
vassers. but owring to the fact that the
transportation furnished by the rail
roads is limited, the plan w r as found
impractical.
President Brown called the meeting
to order with a few remarks. He ex
pressed gratification at the success
with which the fair was meeting and
touched at length on the great good
he felt sure would result to the agricul
tural industries of the state through
the medium of a popular exchange of
ideas among the farmers who will visit
Atlanta next fall.
“There is one point, however, that
I want to stress,” 'said President
Brown, “and that is the necessity of
arousing enthusiasm among the farm
ers. This is absolutely necessary if
we would make the fair a success. In
certain districts where I have talked
with farmers I have found them lack
ing in interest without any apparent
cause except, possibly, the fact that
they have suffered from hard times
during the past two years. Now, it is
to prevent this state of affairs—‘hard
times’ among the farmers—that the
fair will be held. In many of the
sparsely settled districts they have
heard little of the fair. We want to
reach this class and stir up enthusi
‘ asm—impress upon them the impor
tance of coming to Atlanta and ex
changing ideas with other farmers,
and receiving the benefits of the prac
tical object lessons to be gained in
witnessing the different methods in
vogue in other sections.”

A Queer Strike.
The Central railroad had one of the
queerest strikes on record on its hands
at Savannah the past week. About
300 negroes went out on strike, refus
ing to work because they are not paid
off on Saturdays. The company pays
them on the 4th, 11th, 18th and 25th
of the month, instead of on Saturdays.
Between the 25th and the 4th of the
next month there are usually two or
three days additional, and the negroes
do not like to wait that time for their
money. They also demand it on Sat
urday, so that they can have the pleas
ure of spending it on Saturday night.
Because the company would not ac
cede to this demand they quitw’ork.
The road’s officials say it would dis
arrange tlie whole system of accounts
to chauge the time of paying them,and
they refused to do it.
„ ...
Disagree Over Assessment.
The assessment of the property of
the Chattahoochee Southern railroad
is a matter concerning which Hon. W.
A. Wright, comptroller general, and
the president of the road disagree.
Consequently, under the state law ar
bitrators have been appointed to ad
just the difference aud fix the valua
tion upon which the road is to pay
state and county taxes. The comp
troller general has appointed Hon. L.
N. Trammell, chairman of the railroad
commission, to represeni the state,and
the road has name A. C. King, of At
lanta.

A Railroad For Paklonega.
Dalilonega may soon get a railroad
connection with the outside world. This
time the movement seems to have in it
more than previous plans have had. The
names signed to the application for
charter indicates business.
Dahlonega is twenty-five miles from
the nearest railroad and is a pictur
esque town in the heart of a rich gold
mining country. The distance from a
railroad has always handicapped
Lumpkin county. ' It was difficult and
expensive to take mining machinery
over the mountains, but nevertheless
a great deal of it has been packed in
during the last fifty years.
A few months ago some Ohio peo
ple organized a mining company and
bought the Wahl gold properties.
They capitalized their company at
$5,000,000. An order has been placed
for 125 stamps and a chlorination planl
with capacity to handle the ore from
250 stamps.
The officers of the new mining com
pany are among the incorporators,
others are Colonel Price, Captain
Frank Hall and Solicitor General
Charters.

To Meet In Atlanta.
A meeting of the board of trustees
of the Southern Baptist Theological
seminary is called to convene in At
lanta on the 29th of this month.
Dr. J. P. Green, president of the
William Jewell college of Liberty, Mo.,
who was called in May to fill the presi
dent’s chair occupied by Dr. W. 11.
Whitsett, iu the Southern Baptist
seminary, declined the invitation re
cently, and the object of the meeting
is to discuss means for supplying this
vacancy.
This is one of the most interesting
subjects now before the Southern Bap
tist church, and the meeting will be
attended by some of the most promi
nent Baptists of the south, and will
attract wide-spread attention.

Fine Gold Specimens.
The owner of the Loud gold mine
in White county, one of the richest
and most productive mines in the state,
has presented the state geological de
partment with a number of fine speci
mens recently taken from his property.
Within the past few weeks several
large finds have been made at the
Loud mine; at one place a bulk of
free gold being taken out weighing
eight pounds and shortly after in the
same ledge of rock a bulk of gold
crystals were discovered which weigh
ed altogether a little over six pounds.
To those who are of the opinion that
there is no gold deposited in Georgia,
specimens of the recent finds in the
Loud mine now 7 on exhibition at the
state capitol will serve to convince
otherwise.
Professor enthusiastic over
the result of the investigations in
White county, being present a ferv
days ago with the owner of the prop
erty when a nugget of unusual size
was fonnd near the mouth of the mine.
He is more confident than ever of the
value of Georgia as a gold state and
has been particulary impressed with
the unexpected development of the
White county property.
New Vest Discovered.
Farmers in the vicinity of Sparta
are greatly alarmed over the ravages
of anew pest, which comes in the
shape of a brown worm and which is
playing havoc with the corn crop.
These worms are supposed to be the
larvae of anew kind of grasshopper
which came from the west and which
is doing a terrible amount of damage
to cotton as well as corn.
