TWO POINTS OF MOBILIZATION
MAY BE CHOSEN.
Camp Nartlun May Soon Bo
HIM With Georgia
Volunteers.
•
The Atlanta Journal of yenterday
contained the following, which will
iotereat every citizen of Griffin, ae it
may mean the mobilization of over
one tboueand volunteers at Camp
Northed within the next few days:
“Two points of mobilize ion fur the
Georgia troops may be decided up<-o.
It is now proposed to concentrate
half the volunteers here and the other
half al Griffin.
“Tt is said that there is not add.
quate tentage here tor both regiment*
and the two light batteries, and it has
been suggested to the governor that
the First regiment, recruited from the
southern portion of the state, be mob*
ilized at the state encampment at
Griffin.
‘ All the field officers of both regi
ments have been in conference at the
Capitol today, and the matter is still
under consideration. Present Indies*
tions point to such a division in the
concentration of the troops.
“No troops will be moved before
Thursday. Very few companies in
state have been recruited to full
strength, though a majority of them
have notified the regimental com*
menders that a full roll will bo bad
before Thursday. Thia seems the day
generally settled on, and from the best
sources it was learned today that there
waa little thought of bringing the
troops together sooner. Under pres
ent conditions, it would be impossible
to begin moving the troops tomorrow."
WORKS OF ART.
Belford, Middlebrook & Co., of Chicago,
are publishing weekly a series of beautiful
portfolios, devoted to the AMERICAN
NAVY AND CUBA The illustrations
are reproductions of photographs, with
introduction and descriptive texts, show*
ing all the vessels of our navy, the
MAINE, as she majestically rode the
waves before her destruction, and all of
her officers.
CUBA, THE QUEEN OF THE AN
TILLES, is illustrated in all its phases,
from the captain general's palace to the
hovels of its starving wretches—shown as
it is today, not as it will appear after
Sampson’s fleet has bombarded it, that
will come later.
We have made exclusive arrangements
with the publishers whereby we will fur
nish our subscribers with these beautiful
portfolios, containing 16 reproductions in
each number, at 10 cents for each series.
The regular subscription price is 50 cento,
and those wishing them, who are not sub
scribers to our paper,.can secure them st
that price. And they are well worth 50
cents. T
We have samples of these beautiful
works of art and history in our office
which we would be glad to show you and
take your subscription for the entire series
or as many parts as you wish.
Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There ia
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness Is the
result, and unless the infiamation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever; nine cases out Os ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
(caused by catarrh)

I
Story of the Daring Conraga of Com*
modore Dewey and His Glori*
ous Victory. , . |
I WaßWlngton, May 3 -Tfre follow
ing is a# account of the naval battle
at Manila last ■ Bunday morniog Os
furnished by authorities from Madrid :
Information racetwwd bate deeorib
ing the engagemewl at Manila says
the OWpia, the Boston, the Raleigh,
r the Concord, tbe Petrel aod the Meu
ocacy BMMd tbe bay under cover of
darkness by tbe smaller and safer
i Bocacbfee channel.
Tbe forts of Corrigedor island gave
tbe alerm by firing on tbe intruder*
' but they seeufed to have ioflicted no
serious damage. Tbe American squad
ron moved up the bay and at 3 o’clock
in the morning appeared before Cavite
Here, lying under tire shelter of the
i forts, waa the Spanish squadron
Admiral Montejo, a few days before,
went to Subic bay to look fur the ene
my, but learning that they were vastly
superior in force, bad prudently re*
turned aod placed his ships under tbe
protection or tbe forts. This was his
only chance of meeting tbe enemy on
something like equal terms, and it did
not suffice - ' , ’
Boon the Americans opened fire.
The Spaniards replied vigorously, and
the combat continued without inter
ruption for four hours, dcring which
the Don Antonio de Ulloa was sunk,
tbe Castilla and Mindanao were set on
fire and tbe Rena Maria Christina aod
tbe Don Juan de Austria were serious
ly damaged.
One or two of tbe smaller craft were
scuttled by their erewf to escape cap
ture. Others took refuge in a small
neighboring creek, emptying into
Baker bay, where presumably the
American ships were unable to follow
them. But not one surrendered
"* Surprise. JWA diaappointment has
been caused by the destruction done
by the American fleet, ae it had been
officially stated that tbe authorities at
Manila had received sixty torpedoes
and heavy guns to atrengtben the
coast defenses, "particularly the de
fenses commanding tbe two channels
on tbe right and left of Corregidor
island.
It is suggested here that the half
breeds at the Manila arsenals, who ars
rebels at heart, cut tbe cables connect
ing tbe sub-marine mines and thus
enabled Commodore Dewey to force
tbe harbor in safety.
No real bombardment will be nec<«
eesary to destroy Manila, if the shells
are o! tuck a character as will set
houses on fire, the bulk of which are
of wood or of bamboo.
Notwithstanding the limit to tbe
information from Manila, tbe careful
fact remains that Commoddfe Dewey
is now in possession of Manila bay
and can certainly take possession of
Corregidor island, even if be finds dif
ficulty in effectually capturing Mani
la itself, owing to the absence of a
necessary landing force Having thus
secured a naval base, be will have no
difficulty in securing supplies of coal.
Lemons for Insomnia.
From the Ashville Chronicle.
The Rev. T. 8. Brown, the pastor of the
Lutheran church of this city, is running
opposition to Bishop Lyman on insomnia
cures. Mr. Brown yesterday told a Chron
icle reporter that lemon juice, diluted and
taken just before retiring, will almost cer
tainly produce sound and refreshingsleep.
Mr. Brown also said that he had learned
from an eminent physician that if diluted
lemon juice were drunk after a heavy dose
of it would prevent latter’s caus
ing buzzing in the head.

American Fleet Sails.
Wai.hlnqton, May 3—The csbiuei
i meeting today resulted in a decision
i to await a report from Commodore
: Dewey and then to send him the num
ber of troops he deems necessary to
i enforce our control of the PhilippineC,
The whole session bee consumed in
a general dbacussion of past evwete.
The administration baa praelieaffy
decided to occupy the Philippines wittf
a strong military force ae soon ae pow»l
•ible after tbe commodore's report*
which ia expected tomorrow, has been
■ received. t >
For thie purpose Pacific slope troope
will be used, and it is expected that at
least 5,000 will be enroute within the
next ten days There does not seem
to be any doubt as to the government's
purpose to hold these islands' pending
a final settlement with Spain, when
they will be used as a collateral to se
cure the pay meet to the United
States of a war indemnity. High of*
fioials are of the opinion that noce cl
tbe powers will seriously dispute our
right to make such final disposition of
tbe islande ae suits our purpose in the
eolorAment of war claims against
Spain, and in any event this govern
bent will be prepared to contest any
point which may be raised on this
score.
A dispatch from Madrid says there
is no talk of surrender there, either in
ministerial circles or among the popu
lace, but that Spain "will pursue the
war to the bitter end. The authorities
intend to throw the whole naval
strength of Spain into one united and
supreme effort against tbe United
States fleet now in Cuban waters Un
til this engagement is foggjil, no,pro
posal for intervention will be
to. ■"
A dispatch from Havana via Mad*
rid says the entire American fleet has
sailed, presumably in the direction of
Key West.
The president has stated positively
to the southern delegation that be bad
appointed both Generals Lee and
Wheeler major generals.
'‘Political Generals”
One of tbe curses of the Northern
armies in the civil war were tbe“polit.
ica generals.** There were lots of them
who might be named, some from our
beloved state of Massachusetts. Pres
ident Lincoln yielded frequently to
political considerations in elevating
men of no military capacity to high
command and while he may have act*
ed wisely from the large standpoint of
securing political support for the gov
ernment, the field operations of the
Union armies frequently suffered
severely from such appointments.
Is it necessary for President McKin
ley to yield to the politicians io this
war? He is surely under no such ne
cessity. The country ia not divided
against itself; one party is as patriotic
as tbe other; no faction or state need
to be placated. He is entirely free to
appoint to tbe high places only train*
ed'officers, men who have made arms
their profession; or those who like
Gen. Lee are educated and veteran
soldiers. Tbe civil war proved that
the West Point graduates and experi*
enced officers were tbe ones to rely up
on ; only in very exceptional cases,
such as that of Gen. Logan, did a civ*
ilian show the ability to command
efficiently an army corps.
Il is said that ten generals and forty
brigadiers are to be appointed to com*
mand tbe volunteer forces, and mili
tary service has in tbe past proved so
powerful a facto? in securing political
emoluments that many an ambitious
politician would give almost every
thing he bad to secure one of these
commissions But the President
should trot yield to political influence.
Place the professional soldiers at tbe
bead; let tbe politicians and aspiring
youth of high social station aerve in
tbe ranks and win their glory at tbe
cannon’s mouth. Tbe people want
thie was brought quickly to a close. —
