I -t - f GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE 4, 1898, BCHLRY SENDS REPuRT Says Attack Was to Locate Batteries of the Harbor Washington, June 3 —Commodore Schley in forwarding lo the nsvy de partment an account of his reoent at tack on Santiago aaya that his at tack was made for the purpose of de veloping the enemy’s position, to lo cate their batteries, etc. In that respect it wae entirely suc cessful, and be accomplished what bo set out to do None of his vessels were touched by the enetny’a volleys and there were no casualties or mishaps on his vessels. He said he has no reason able doubt that Genera's fleet is in side tbe harbor of Santiago. , Tbe Spaniards have the harbor for tified very carefully and well, and have a number of modern guns. They use smokeless powder which renders the ’ locating of the batteries very difficult. ■ Chairman Cannon, of the approprh ations committee, stated on the floor of the house yesterday that there was $100,000,000 of the money called for by tbe urgent deficiency bill absolute ly necessary to be put in the bands of an official within a day or two for im mediate action. The correspondent of the Gaulois at Madrid telegraphs from there saying he has learned from the highest au thority that Admiral Cervera has never been in the harbor of Santiago de Cuba, and that tbe Spanish ships there belong to Admiral Villatnil’s torpedo squadron. It appears that from information gathered by tbe Gaulois’ conespond ent that Admiral Cervera after leaving tbe Cape Verde Islands, manoeuvered so as to deceive the Americans and then started at full speed for tbe Phil ippine Islands, where the fleet is to ar rive on Saturday or Sunday. His orders are to destroy. Admiral Dewey’s fleet and then intercept or destroy or capture tbe American trans* ports on their way to tbe Philippine islands.from San Francisco. COLOR IN FLAGS. Bed Predominates Largely In the Stand ards of the Chief Nations. Though the policy of military au thorities in using less glaring colors in uniforms has been very marked of late years red remains the most popular col or sor z national standards. Os 25 coun tries 19 have flags with red in them, the list including the United States, England, France, Germany, Austria, Italy, Spain, Denmark, Belgium, Swe den, Switzerland, Turkey, Mexico, Chile, Portugal, Venezuela and Cuba. The countries which have blue as an element of their flags are the United States, Russia, France, England, Hol land, Ecuador, Sweden, Chile, Ven ezuela, Portugal and Cuba. Three coun tries have black as one of the elements of their flags, Germany, Belgium and China, but Germany is the only one of three which has black and white to gether. 1 There are five countries (excluding from consideration Ireland, the familiar flag of which is not officially recognized among the national standards) which have green as a color; Brazil, the flag of which is green chiefly ; Mexico, Egypt, Italy and Persia. There are nine countries in which the flag is partly of yellow. These countries are Austria, Spain, Belgium, Egypt, Sweden, China, Persia, 'Rraril and Venezuela. Countries with flags partly white are the United States, France, Germany, Russia, Aus tria and Italy, six of the seven chief powers. There is no white in the national standard of England, but the British , naval flag has a white background. Other countries having white in their flags are Switzerland, Turkey, Persia, ■ Japan, Mexico, Holland, Denmark, Por i tugal, Cuba, Chile tad Ecuador, the flag of which is nearer white than any other country, being made up of two parallel white columns, between which is a column of blue, upon which are white stars. —New York' Sun.

Seme time ago I was at a small vil lagwin Somersetshire fitting up a steam dairy. An is well known, water is a most esamitlal thing in a dairy. So, being unable to obtain a sufficient supply from a will already sunk, it was suggested to o|en a disused well near and try the water there. Instructions were given to the men to be ireful on opening the well, as it might be unsafe to descend on account of foul air. Tfeey were told to light a candle and let ft down, and if it continued to burn thsg*. would then know that there was no danger in descending. On the following day, on asking if it was safe to go down, one of the men replied: “Yes, that’s safe enough. I took the candle down with me, and it burnt beautifully. ” —London Globe.
