| "SANJUAN BOMBARDED.
BATTERIES REDUCED BY
J SAMMOFB FLEET.
I Spanish Flyine Squadron Has
| BMn Sighted Off Martinique and
I Will Soon Meet Sampson-
I I Washington, May 13 —According
f I latest advices from Bt. Thomas
I Mgarding the bombarding of Porto
I gico yeeterday it appears that all the
i American warships except the Mont
i ornery steamed in an elliptical for*
■| L t ion before the forts at San Juan de
I Porto Rico, which fi reil twenty to
I thirty guns, seven of which were good
I ns The fleet first fired rather too
1 tow but at the second discharge they
I I <o t the elevation and soon silenced
J ggrro castle and set fire to the town,
driving l^e Spaniards from their guns
I repeatedly- The shote guns fired 500
The New York was hit once
' ends teaman was killed and four were
slightly wounded. The lowa was bit
L onoe, and the Indiana was hit once.
I Nods of Sampson’s ships were injur-
I edin the slightest, it is reported, and
i ill the -wounded will rec >ver. The fire
| terrific and nearly eve>y shot from
I the fleet wrought death and destruc*
I lion to the Spaniards The Spanish
| foes is not known, but it is believed,
on a reasonable basis, to ba heavy.
The Spaniards, however, do not offi
cially report any losses.
It is reported in a private dispatch
from St. Thomas that the town of San
Juan surrendered last night, but this
cannot be confiimed.
It is now definitely known, despite
all Spanish statements heretofore to
tbs contrary, that the Cape Verde fleet
is at Port de France, capital of the
island of Martinique, four hundred
miles from Porto Rico It is also
stated positively that the commander
of the fleet received orders yesterday
after the bombarding of San Juan by
Sampson to put to sea at once. Ma-
L drid advices received here this morn
|Mng stele that the fleet will sail- for an
| unknown destination immediately.
At 9:40 Secretary L>ng gave out a
| statement that official information had
been received that the Spanish squad
ron bad been sighted to the westward
of Martinique.
This informal ion has caused a com
plete change in the plans of the stra
tegic board, and there will be no In
vasion of Cuba until Sampson has had
an engagement with the Spanish fleet,
and orders have been given to mo hi
lize the troops a' Chickamagua in
stead of Tampa.
The troops to be sent to Chicka
mauga are the east, north and these
from the middle west which were
originally ordered there. Those from
the Pacific coast and the west will pro
- coed at once to San Francisco to be
ready to embark for Manila.
It is slated al the navy department
today that orders have been issued for
the flying squadron to sail.
The fleet baa been ordered, it is be
lieved, to follow Sampson's fleet as
near as can be learned for the purpose
of reinforcing him in tn engagement
with the Spanish. It sails with or
ders to capture, if possible, the Span
ish fleet and destroy if necessary.
The navy officials ebow intense sup
pressed excitement over the coming
conflict.
The navy authorities, however, de
ny that the flying squadron is beaded
lor Porto Rico. They say that Samp
son has a fleet sufficient to meet the
Spanish. It is intimated that it is
bound for the Gulf and Cuban waters,
in case the Spanish fleet should leave
Martinique taking southern course
for Cuba.

An Impressive Scene at Camp North
en Yesterday.
Some very interesting incidents
transpired at the camps yesterday.
Throughout the day squads and com
panies were drilling on the parade
grounds.
Several honor were down
from Atlanta and passed the day most
pleasantly viewing the camp.
The order io move quarters seems
to be the prevailing sentiment among
the commanding officers. Nearly
every company in camp has moved
one or more limes in the last two
days.
Yesterday morning Robert T. Rus
sel, why deserted Wednesday, re
turned to camps and al once went to
Capt. Drummond.and asked to be re
enlisted. Capt. Drummond carried
the young man to the quarters of
Colonels Cook and Lawton where
he explained his case and it was deci
ded to re enlist him provided be
would apologize to the entire compa
ny.
The company was called to order
and the young fugitive, facing his
former comrades, in a few but very
appropriate words begged them to
"forgive him and trike him back into
their ranks.
Capt. Drummond then asked every
man who was in favor of taking Rus
sell back into the company to step
forward one pace, which was promptly
done by every man. Russell re-enlist
ed and took the oath of the army and
is now a private in the ranks.
The prettiest event of the encamp
meot was witnessed by thousands
yesterday afternoon when the Chath
am Artillery held funeral services com
memorative of the death of tbeir former
commander, Capt. Wheaton, who
was buried in Savannah last evening.
At 5:30 o'clock, about the time the
remains of their late Captain were
being interred in Boniventure, the
company parched out upon the pa
rade ground headed by the band which
was playing a funeral dirge. It was a
very solemn eight. At the conclusion
of the music taps were sounded (lights
out) which indicated that all that was
mortal of tbeir late brave and true
Captain was then resting beneath the
soil,
Thia scene was the first of the kind'
ever witnessed here and will long be'
remembered.
Each day the men become more
reconciled to their way of living and
Uncle Sam will soon have two thous
and of the best soldiers in the laud at
Camp Northen.
Col. Brown is beginning to get
things in shape for bard labor and
will before many days be subject to
the call of the war department with
no fear of going io with ignoiantmen.

“Well, James, how are you feeling
today?’’ said the minister to one of his
parishioners, an old man suffering from
chronic rheumatism. “You are not
looking as brisk as usual.*’
“Na, sir,’* replied the old fellow sad
ly, “I’ve been gey nnfortinit the day.’’
“How, James?’’ V
“ Weel, sir, I got a letter fra a Glas
ca lawyer body this mornin, tellin me
tha ma cousin Jock was deid, an that
he had left me twa hunner poun’.”
“Two hundred pounds I’’ repeated the
minister. “And you call that hard luck?
Why, it is quite a fortune for you,
James.”
“Ay,” said the old man sorrowfully,
“but the stipid lawyer body dinna pit
eneuoh stamps on his letter, an I had a
bale saxpence to pey for extra postage.”

From Hla Point of View.
“But you confess, father,” protested
the beautiful girl, when the father
showed indications of a desire to with
hold his consent, “that you do not know
of a single solitary thing that is in the.
least derogatory to his reputation.” ./
“That’s just it, ” replied the old gen
tleman. “I don’t like the idea of bring
ing any one into my family who is so
infernally sly as all that.”—Chicago

Many of the fruits and vegetables
now eaten in England were almost un
known toour forefathers. Not until
Henry VHl’s time were either raspber
ries or strawberries or cherries grown
in England, and we do not read of the
turnip, cauliflower and quince being
cultivated before the sixteenth century
or the carrot before the seventeenth cen
tury.

THE STATE Y. M. C- A.
*
Will Establish a Branch Association
at Camp Northen-
Mr. Woods White and Secretary
W 8 McGill, of the Atlanta Y. M. C.
A. were in the city yesterday making
final arrangements for the Y. M. 0. A.
tent which is to be opened at Camp
Northen early next week. After a
busy day in conference with the offi
cer at the camp they returned to At
lanta last night.
The lent will have a seating capaci
ty of 400 and will be in charge of two
Y. M.C. A. secretaries. Stationary
and papers and magazines will be
furnishsd ths soldiers free o' charge
and every man connected with the
camps will be cordially welcomed at
the association tent at all times.
“We want the boys to feel perfectly
at home at the tent,” said Mr. White
yesterday. ‘‘The lent will be made as
much like.home as possible and we
will charge nothing for the accomoda
tion we will furnish.”
They will also serve delicacies and
when a soldier becomes indisposed and
needs a dainty meal, he will be fed at
the tent upon the presentation of a
certificate of illness signed by the
camp surgeon.
This tent will go with the Georgia
army wherever it goes and will be a
link connecting the.wayfaring soldier
with home. The association intends
to aid the hospital in careing for the
sick and wounded and will carry its
work into the thick of the fight.
The tent will probably be opened
next Tuesday.
A Card From Colonel Searcy.
Editor Morning Call : In reply
to an article appearing in your issue
of Friday signed "8. Grantland” I de
sire to say that I assume entirely and
personally the responsibility of giving
to Douglas Glessner, Esq , the infor
mation contained in the article io the
Daily News refered to by said Grant*
IWM Col. Glessner that ’“by the
records in the office of the Clerk and
Treasurer of Griffin that a fi fa was is
sued against A. D. Candler and was
thereby shown to be unpaid.” For
the correctness of that statement I
refer to the records.
Now why if Col. Grantland taking
so much interest in this race? Is it
because Granlland is a “goldbug?”
Because he fought the democratic
nominees—Bryan and Sewell—in
1896 Because be knows Candler is
on the same platform? Or is it be
cause bis cousin, Fleming dußignon,
Gen. Counsel of the Plant Railroad
System, is for Candler and on bis
campaign committee? Or still furth
er is it because Candler is in favor of
monopolies and the exemption of
“factories” from taxes? Or is it be
cause Candler is opposed to usury
laws and Grantland ie a tnoner lend
er?
Col. Grantland closes his remarks*
ble effusion as follows: “The large
taxpayers ware let off, but Col. Cand 3 *
ler paid taxes on bis little earthly
possession# and they were mighty
few.”
My dea: Grantland is this yosr
reason for favoring Cand'er? Is it
because you don’t pay taxes—or M
a large stock bolder in the factory—
while tire widow who works for your
factory is compelled to pay taxes “on
her little earthly possessions?” How
much money does this save you a
year? How much has it saved you
since the Old factory was built?
Now, Captain, politics not personal
ities—unless you choose otherwise—
“ Come out into the open.”
