THE MORNING CALL.
VoL IX. No. 247.
» THE RIFLES WILL GO.
. meeting last night caused
many to volunteer.
Captain * nd Lieutenant Go With
Them Without Chance, and the
Boys Will bo Well Treated
Tbs Griffin Rifles will probably go
to the fro ot as volunteers, and a mag
nificent body it will be. No one can
diepol* it.
The Griffin Rifles held their regular
meeting at their armory last night and
while it w*s Q °t large an attendance
i M might be wished it wes pleasant.
Capt. A. J. Burr stated that the meet
ing was called to consider the second
call for troops uader Col. John S.Cand
4cr,as the members had been previously
notified. He stated that tbe’Colansl
expected that some of hiS old companies
would stand by birr—the Griffin
Rifles, Marietta Rifles, Newnan Guards
and the LaGrange Light Guards. He
■aid that be did not care*to urge upon
any man the necessity of going, but
acid that he thought if the company
wanted to go as the Griffin Rifles they
stood a belter show than they would
again If lbs company goes they are
assured of a captain and a first lieu
tenant, and this out ol over 700 appli
cations.
A roll call was taken for volunteers
and a majority of them volunteered.
Several of them expressed a wish for
more time.
Lieut. Kimbrough made a speech
on the serious subject that was well
timed, as it impressed everyone who
beard it.
Capt. Burr thanked those who vol
unteered last night and assured them
(hat they would not be forgotten.
Lieut. Kimbrough eaid that in view
of the fact that many had relatives
dependent upon them,that they should
consider the matter and then later on
pommunicate with the captain.
He begged them to think of the
qratter and consult with their people
and make up their minds.
A meeting was then called for Fri
day night promptly at 8 o’clock.
FATE OF THE SHIP’S PET.
a yourth of July CelebnUhn Which Bod
ed In DUastcr.
“That billygoat the boys had for a
mascot on the New York, ” remarked
the paymaster’s clerk, “suggests a mon
key that my father used to tell me
about that they had on a frigate in the
times before the war. This monkey the
sailors had picked up somewhere in the
Indian ocean countries.
“The ship was stationed in the China
ports for a year, and during that time
the monkey was the light and joy of
the whole crew. When the Fourth of
July name around, permission was ask
ed from the harbor authorities of the
port where they were to fire a salute,
and preparations were made for doing it
in style. The regular salute was fired,
and then ft was proposed that the crew
ring ‘The Star Spangled Banner’ and
fire a gun for chorus. The gun was load
ed and everything was left ready while
the crew went to the main deck, where
something to drink thp health of the
nation was to be served ■before the song
was sung, and the gunner was to be
sent back to shoot off the chorus.
“The programme was carried out to
the letter, Then the men scattered, and
somebody thought of the monkey. But
he was not to be found. Thecookhadn’t
seen him, nor had the cook’s boy, nor
would he respond to any of the calls
that TicnaUy brought him flying. What
had become of him no one knew until
6 o’clock, when a boat’s crew went
•shore to a big spring for water. The
ship lay off from this spring about a
Quarter of a mile, and over it was a big
shade tree. When the men came to the
spring, they noticed in the branches of
the tree something that had a familiar
look to it, and knocking it out with
sticks and stones they found the pink
nose of their poor little pet attached to
ft few shreds and patches of monkey
Ain,
“That told the story of the disappear
ance of Mug, the monkey. He had in a
spirit of sport chased himself into the
mouth of that saluting cannon and when
they fired it Mug went ashore.”—
Washington Star.
How to Look Good.
Good looks are really more than
•kin deep, depending entirely on a
healthy condition of all the vital or
gans. If the liver is inactive, you
have a bilious look ; if yonr stomach
is disordered, you have a dyspeptic
look; if your kidneys are affected, you
have a pinched look. Secure good
health, and you will surely have good
looks, “Electric Bitters” is a good
Alterative and Tonic. Acts direcily
on the stomach, liver and kidneys,
purifies the blood, cores pimples,
blotches and boils,, and gives a gout
complexion. Every bottle guaranteed,

ARMY OFF SANTIAGO.

Reserve Fleet Returned to Cadiz-
Third Call Decided Upon—Hob
son is Safe.
Washington). June 21—The army
of invasion of Cuba, 16,000 in number,
arrived i ff Santiago yesterday al noop,,
and were greeted by loud cheers from
the men in the blockading fleet.
It was the intention of General
Shafter to take bis entire fleet to ths
lines of Rear Admiral Sampson’s fleet
of warships, but an order from the
admiral stopped the fleet about fifteen
miles to the southeast, and General
Shafter went forward on the Ssguranca
taconfer with the admiral. r
The long and trying journey from
Tampa left the men in a much better
condition than was expected,and there
were only fourteen cases of typhoid
fever on ths hospital ship. None of
these, however, are thought to be of a
serious nature.
The sea was very smooth and the
soldiers entered but little from sea
sickness, and are anxious to be landed
and begin fighting.
Not the faintest intimation can be
had of the place, where the troops will
be fended. Some of them, however,
will be undoubtedly landed at Guan
tanamo bay to reioforoe the little band
of brave marines, who have been
fighting such odds for several days
past.
It is expected here that the trans
ports will remain off Sanliag), or per
haps nearer the exact landing point of
the tioops until Santiago has been
captured, when they will take aboard
the greater part of the invading army
if they can be spared from that locali
ty and convey the troops to Porto
Rico.
The state department has received
from a reHable authority in Marseilles,
France, the positive Information that
the Cadir fleet bird returned to Cadiz
after its portentious departure, with
one of the meat formidable of the ships,
the Victoria, disabled and in tow of
one of the ether ships.
The Victoria is one of the breadside
ships of the Spanish navy, being very
similar in that respect to the Nuaaan
zcia, another vessel of the squadron.
She has no turrets, but like the old
style of ironclsds, has her guns mount
ed broadside behind a citadel of heavy
iron. ■. .
In spite of the denials at the war
department there will be another call
for troops. The president took up the
matter with his cabinet today and the
general opinion expressed was that as
soon as the last call was mustered in
that another call for an additional
hundred thousand men would be made,
the troops to be retained in camp as a
reserve force in case an emergency
should arise which would necessitate
the use ol them.
The government is determined to
be prepared for all comers should
complications lead to further troubles.
The question of the establishment
of a prison for Spaniards taken in,
was discussed at tbe cabinet meeting
today, and Atlanta was tbs city most
frequently mentioned as the most de
sirable point.
In response to a cable inquiry Mr.
Ramsden, tbe British consul at Santi
ago, sent tbe following dispatch to the
New York World:
“Nothing happened to Hobson or
others during bombardment.”

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 22, 1828.
fAT C AMP NORTHKN
The Third Regiment Will be Mobil
ized Within Two Weeks.
It is expected (list the Third Georgia
regiment, United States volunteers,
wi'l be In camp at Griffin within three
weeks from today, at the very latest.
The prospects are so bright for the
rapid recruiting that a number of well
known military authorities are us the
-.opinion that it will require only two
weeks for the mobilization of the regi
ment.
Colonel John S. Candler, who is to
command ths new regiment, speaks
enthusiastically of its organization,
and feels sure that there will be no
trouble in getting tbe men at Camp .
Northen in tbe ceuree of a very ehort
time From all pane es the state tbe
answer to ths call has come, and the
present indications are that more than
enough men to fill tbe regiment to tbe
maximum number will be obtained.
Col. Candler was seen yesterday by
a large'number of persons. Many of
these were there to ask for offices in
the regiment, and many were there to
offer their services in any way they
will be useful.
Although a Urge nnmber of persons
jave applied to Colooel Candler for
offices in the regiment, a still greater
number have seen him and made
known their intention of enlisting as
privates. These men ack for no office!,
but place their services at the disposal
of tbe colouel, and will be ready when
called on by him to enlist in the regi
ment.
Among this latter class are a large
□ umber of military men. Many of
them served under Colenel Candler in
the Fifth regiment, and others are
members of the various state organize-
HoLi.
A number of whole companies of
the Fifth regiment have offered Col
ouel Candler their services,and will bo
ready to go into camp on very short
notice. It is not known yet whether
or not whole companies will be reosiv
ed, but the indications are that they
will. If such prove* to teoHse ease,tbe
recruiting of the regiment will be
greatly facilitated.
The camp at Griffin, which baa just
been vacated by Col Lawton’s regi
ment, is io fairly good condition for
tbe reception of troops. It is true
there are few, if any, tents, but tbsee
will be obtained at once, and the camp
placed in proper shape before the
mobilization of the Third regiment be
gin s.—Consti t u tion.
War Appointments-
President McKinley was a major in
the civil war. Secretary Alger, had
attained a general’s rank. Both, there
fore, had practical experience of mili
tary matters, and should know some
thing about tbe business of raising
and equiping an army. They should
have known better than to put untried
civilians in important positions in tbs
quartermaster and commissary de
partments, merely because sordid sen
ators and representatives asked them
to do so, when,by a little inquiry they
could have found plenty of veterans
farhiliar with those duties, and able to
perform them without the blunders
and costly delays of which we have
heard so mueb since the army began
to assemble. They bad enough busi
ness experience, also, to know that
the beat men are not running around
looking for jobs. As a rule, they are
at work,and must be sought if wanted.
Great care is used in selecting privates
for tbe army, and "influence” does
act count there. Why should the
rule be different in more responsible
positions?—Philadelphia Ledger.

UINCOLN ESCAPED.
A Vain Attempts to inoculate Him With
Smallpox In 1841.
During the exciting period of 1861
great fears were entertained for the
safety dr the president, and every pre
caution was taken to insure his person
al protection.
One moming there appeared at the
White ’House a woman, closely veiled,
demanding an immediate interview
with Mr- Lincoln. Approaching Mes- I
senger Perkins, who guarded the door
of Mr. Lincoln’s private office, the vis
itor make known her request and plead
ed earnestly that she be adnfitted to a
personal interview. The doorkeeper’s
orders were, however, very strict, and
finding her eloquence all in vain she
finally compromised by confiding her
message to the courteous but firm em
ployee. Taking him to one side, the
veiled lady seized both his hands in hers
and tenderly rubbed them as she ex
tracted a promise that he Would imme
diately deliyer her request to the presi
dent. Perkins was almost overcome by
a most peculiar odor that appeared to
emanate from his companion and has
tened to get rid of her withbut creating
while- in oonvursaiion with the impor
tunate Visitor. A: physician flho was
present, promptly divined the trulhand
ftistittttttl aaearch. for the woman, when
it waa learned that she had driven rap
ktfy riWwy in a carnage, and all trace
was lost. Perkins was immediately- or
dered to return to his home and await
developments.
Within the,usual period hf was taken
ill with one of the worst cases 6t viru
lent smallpox an record, and -for weeks
lay at the pGint of death Upon his re
covery the faithful’ messenger, whose
devotion to duty doubtless saved the life
of the president, was appointed by Mr.
Lincoln to a permanent position on the
clerical force of the war department.—
