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.

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.

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.” —Lewiston Journal. 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 Post Many of the fruits and vegetables now eaten in England were almost un known toour forefathers.

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.” Wm E.H.JBEARCY, Jk.
