Physician and Surgeon, TIFTON, GEORGIA. TIFTON, BERRIEN CO., GEORGIA, FRIDAY, JULY 15, 1898. Ora,klc Description ol the EioCm From Sutiofo dc Coho. Cor. Atiuu Journal. Ki Caney, Santiago Province, July 5.—Via Kingston, July 8.—The ex odnt from Santiago wax an impres hire, picturesque and yet piteous sight. Tena of thousands sought refuge behind the American lines in response to this notice, posted alt over Santiago: “Having received no further word from the Americans, and being uni ious to save the lives of all women and children, all non-combatants who cannot carry arms must, between 6 and 0 o’clock tomorrow morning, leave for Caney by any of the oity gates. No passports are necessary. All pilgrims must go on foot. Car riages are-forbidden. Cripples and sick will have litters provided.” And so they came—all sorts and conditions of humanity. There was rabble, but many rags in juxtaposi tion with silks and laces. A major ity were well dressed. All showed u sublime confidence in the Americans. The fact is demonstrated that the Spanish women have faith in the ohivalry of the American soldiers. About 500 on litters were in the van. One old woman carried a parrot in her lap. The poorer people wore large crucifixes and some wore saying their beads. All thechildren walked together. Each hud flaring clironm pictnies of Christ or the Virgin tied about their necks. Many women wore gowns and bonnets of the latest Parish fashion—evidently women of the highest society—and they were decked us if for an Kaster parade on Fifth avenue. The rustling silks, delicate laces, flimsy muslins and bright flowers, dainty high heeled boots were strange sights on a battle field that a few hours before had recked with smoke and carnage. These women, who probably had never walked more than a few yards before, had to make their wav through prickly jungle and over rough trails. All these dainty society women and girls have volunteered for nurses. Many will be accepted. Tile refugees, upon their arrival, hurried to the Catholic church in the centre of the square. They found it occupied by the American surgeons. Tlie porch was made an operating room and the pews and floors inside formed the resting places of hun dreds of tho wounded, many of whom were Spanish. The refugees worked hard to put up a temporary shelter. Money hud no value. The petted darlings of rich men hud the same shelter—palm leaves—os the outcasts of the streets of Santiago. Morton Smith.

The Spanish admiral was allowed to trans-ship BOO tons of coal from the San Augustine last night in the harbor on furnishing a written guar antee that tbe Peluyo needed it and that the entire squadron is returning to Spain direct Messina, Sicily, July 11.—The Spanish torpedo boats sailed for home this morning. A Tolkien Woman. There are women who are comely, there are women who are homely, though be careful how the latter thing you say. There are women who are wealthy, there arc women who are healthy, there are women who will always have their way. There are women who are truthful, there are women who are youthful— was there ever any woman who was old? There are women who are sainted, there are women who are painted, there are women who are worth their weight in gold. There are women who are tender, there are women who are sleuder, there are women who are large and fat and red. There are women who are married, there are women who liaye tarried, there are women who are talkless but they are dead. A Csssral Nailed. Washington, July 7.—Tho war do- partment to-day posted tho following dispatch from Gen. Shatter, received in response to an inquiry as to tho re ported killing of Spanish prisoners by Cubans: “l’layn del Estc, July 7.—Hon Secretary of War, Washington: Dis patch as to killing prisoners by Cub ans absolutely false. No prisoners have been turned over to them, and they have shown no disposition to treat badly any Spaniards who have fallen into their hands. .Shatter, “Major General Commanding.’ Nomination Seal In.

I am told,” said tho officer on tbe Spanish ship, “that the way to make a modern epigram and lie regarded as clever is to take an old saw and reverse it.” “What lias that to do with this war’ inquired his superior sternly. “Oh, nothing much. But 1 can’t help wondering," he went on, as he gazed pensively at the ocean, “if that is why tho Madrid govern ment keeps telling us to cheer up, as there is always room at tho liotlon.” An exchange hits the uuil^quurely on the head when it says: When- ver you hear a man finding fault of his locul paper, open it and ten to one lie hasn't an advertisement in it; five to one lie never gives it a job of printing; three to one that he does not take tho paper; two to one if he is a subscriber he is n delinquent.

Linares to surrender the city without damage, together with the shipping in the harbor,if he und his men were allowed to march out with side arms and have twenty miles unmolested start, was refused. It is said Gen. Shafter wished touccept these terms, but Washington refused. Tlie Spaniards were then notified thut the truce was at an end, at four o’clock in the afternoon, and shortly afterwards the battle was renewed by a shot from one of the Spanish bat teries. The artillery opened lire all along tho front of the American line, nml Schley's ships began firing over the range of hill hiding the city from them. The distance was five miles, but the guns of the fleet could not be given an elevation sufficient to reach the city over the hills. Shatter reports two men killed and four wounded Sunday. A general attack is postponed until all re inforcements are omburked. He- inforceincnts have arrived as follows: Gen.
