Council Proceedings The city council met yesterday as ternoon and was presided over by hie Honor, Mayor Davis, but there was only a very little business transacted. The minutes ol last meeting were read and approved. Mayor Davis asked for instruction with regard to the paying of the engi neer for No. 1 fire company, as their engine was unfit for service and the engineer was not giving any service. He did not think Mr. Fotral’s salary should be stopped, but wished the council to authorise the payment of thia salary continued. Thia met (he hearty approval of the council, and several speeches were made eulogising this old and efficient company. A motion was unanimous ly carried asking No. 1 to test tbeir engine at an early date and see if it was unfit for service, and if so to make some arrangement to furnish them with such apparatus as the company wished. Ths report for the city sexton for the quarter ending May 31st, was read This report showed there had been 27 interments in the cemeteries of Griffin daring that time—ten of ths number being white and seventeen colored. The report was referred to the proper committee. The reports of Treasurer Nall and Chief of Police Ison were read and re ferred to the finance committee, after which the council adjourned. , Yellow Jaundice Cured Suffering humanity should be sop* piled with every means possible for its relief.

Ceryera's Feet is How Known to be in • Santiago Harbor- Washington, June 14—Official tn formation bee reached Washington to the effect that the transports with troops for Santiago which tailed oot of the Key West harbor yesterday for Cuba, had not pat to sea op to an early hour this morning. No reason baa been stated, so far as can be learn ed, for this very unexpected delay in the movement against Santiago. The officials positively decline to discus the matter. It is supposed that all the vessels are now fairly under way. The last lingering doubt that may have existed as to the presence of Cervera’s fleet in its entirety in Banti* ago harbor, was removed when Admi ral Sampson's dispatch reached the navy department last night. Up to that time information as to the num* bar and character of the vessels lying in their harbor shielded from observe-, tion in great part by the hills at the entrance, had been obtained through Cuban sources supplemented by each glimpses as could bo obtained by na* val officers from the outside entrance. Now, however, according to Lieut. Blue, the chips have been actually ssen by an American officer, counted and inspected from each points of vantage as were afforded by the high hills surrounding the harbor. The of -1 ficials hers are full of praise for Lieut. Blue’s achievement. Victor Blue has been long known in the navy as an enterprising and daring young officer, but it required a good deal of sustain, ed courage for him to go ashore in a hostile country and alone make re con noissance. He was in the eye of military law nothing more nor less than a spy. and had be been captured by the Spaniards be would have been tried by a drumbead courtmarlial and executed.
