THE MORNING CALL.
Vol IX. No. 252.
WEDNESDAY THE DAX
82 AFTER WILL BEGIN HIS AT
TACK ON SANTIAGO.
A Strong Fleet is to be Sent to Spain,
and Their Seacoast Cities Will
be Bombarded.
Washington, Jane 27—Dispatches
from General Shafter say that four
batteries of bis artillery and a Galling
gun have been placed on a hill over
looking the basin in which Santiago
, lies.
Transports are rapidly landing the
' last supplies of forage and ammuni
tion. and the last of the four light
batteries of artillery started Sunday
for Juragua by road. The ordnance
officers say the road is impracticable
for siege guns and that the landing
facilities for them are inadequate.
The military authorities are rapidly
making up a pack train to take for
ward rations.. The men ashore have
five days’ supplies, but supplies !er ten
days are needed as a precaution against
a sudden move.
Active operations before Santiago
are officially expected to be in on
Wednesday.
Gen. Shafter expresses satisfaction
with the work of officers who'had
charge of the landing of the troops, in
an enemy’s country and under condi
tions never before faced by an' army,
considering the character es the land
ing places and the adjacent country
It has remained for the staunch
dynamite cruiser the Vesuvius to
demonstrate that the entrance to San
tiago harbor was not completely
blocked by the sinaing of the Merri-a
mao
While poking her nose about the
entrance to the harbor a fyw nights
ago the Vesuvius discovered ample
room in which to pass the " wreck of
the Merrimac. She went in, made
observations along the inner harbor
and then came back to eea, getting
around the wrecked collier without
difficulty.
The navy today ported
the following bulletin : “Commodore
Watson sails today in the Newark to
Sampson,when he will take under
bis command an armored squadron
with cruisers and proceed at once off
the Spanish coast.”
The cqaudron is designated the
“Eastern Squadron,” and isaefollows:
Flagship Newark, battleships lowa
and Oregon, cruiser* Yosemite, Yan
kee and Dixie and the colliers Zendia,
Abarenila and Alexander.
The bulletin posted at the depart
ment announcing the departure of
Commodore Wgtson to organise the
squadron of armored cruisers from
Sampson’s fleet to proceed at once off
the coast oi Spain, is the beginning of
the movement which will probably end
the war.
As baa been announced, as soon as
the situation at Santiago was satisfac
tory and the preparation for the oc
cupation of Porto Rico has sufficiently
atvanced, it was the intention of the
adminiatrati in to send a fleet to attack
the Spanish at home.
The time has now arrived when
this movement may be ' undertaken
I. and the purpose is to lose no time in
bringing the war home to Spain, in a
way that will make the Soanish rea
lize the absolute futility of resistance.
The squadron under command of
Watson will be powerful enough to
meet and destroy Admiral Camara’s
fleet if it turns back from the Philip
pines, where it is said to be going, or
„ to inflict severe damage upon the
Spanish forts, and if the Spanish fleet
should sail to get into the Suez canal
our squadron may follow it into the
Mediterranean and compel an engage
ment there.
• This movement means that the war
Bi» to be pressed with all possible vigor
•nd terminated as quickly as possible
by blow delivered upon blow.

will be held until the last possible mo
ment to get other supplies. The regi

Thia makes up five brigades, fifteen

The railroads have hundreds of
coaches here and have telegraphed for
ail available equipment. It is hardly
ikely that the last of the men will get
away before Wednesday, for the rail
road meg say. tjifycamjut awuswa
than four regiments a day with ease.
Collee, the quartermaster, has issued
instructions to the railroad men to
lave every available car here as soon
as possible and he has asked that the
utmost dispatch be shown in moving
the soldiers. The officers here evi
dence the fact that they have hurry
orders, for every preparation is being
rushed.
The Georgians were the happiest
men in camp when told that they had
been chosen to go. They were delight
ed at the immediate prospects for a
fight and the news of the removal
caused a general rejoicing in the
camp.— The Georgia boys expected to
get with the boys of tbs Second Geor
gia regiment, which is to be sent from
Tampa to Santiago. ,
The expedition from Chickamauga
will go from hereto Fernandina,where
ths transports will carry them to Cuba.
There are already more troops at Tam
pa than can be conveniently moved
from that port. It is the evident in
tention of the war department to rush
all the soldiers to the front, for every
man Who is fitted for the field is being
taken from the camp here. There are
but 15 regiments here thoroughly
equipped and these are being taken.

What Stamps the Gentleman-
‘ In all questions of manners a young
man should always remember that
while politeness is a good trait to ac
quire, courtesy is infinitely bettor,”
writes Edward Bok on “What Makes
a Gentleman” in the July Ladies*
Heme Journal. ‘Politeness is man
ners, but courtesy is bean. Mingling
in good society can give uj that veneer
which the workrcalle a polish of man
nsrs, and true politeness is not to be
made little of nor scoffed at. Polite
ness is a fins art, but is an art pure
and simple,even at its best. Infinitely
better is the cultivation of that court,
tesy of refinement which enters into
the feelings of others and holds them
sacred What we want our young
men to have is courtesy of manner not
regulated by social code or profession
al censor. It is idle to say that cour
tesy is a relic of old-fashioned days
and is no longer looked for.
“It is as much the current coin of
good society as it ever was. More
than any other element or grace in
our lives, it is instantly felt and recog
nized, and has an unfailing influence.
It calls for respect as nothing else
does. Courtesy of manner and cour
tesy of speech are gifts a young man
should cultivate.”
Remarkable Rescue.
Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield,
111., makes the statement, that she
caught cold, which settled on her
lungs; she was treated for a month by
her family physician, but grew worse.
He told her she was a hopeless victim
of consumption and that no medicine
could cure her. Her druggist sugges
ted Dr. King’s New Discovery for
Consumption ; she bought a bottle and
to her delight found herself benefited
from first dose. She continued its use
and after taking six bottles, found
herself sound and well; now does her
own housework, and is as well as she
ever was. Free trial bottles of this

Mr. Stahlman’s Fee-
Now that the Senate has found out
that Mr Stahlmau got SIOO,OOO of the
claim ol $288,000, of the Soulhero
Methodist book concern, which Cea
gres i allowed, it would be interesting
to know what that body is going to do
about it. It is admitted that the book
agents and Mr. Btablman misled the
They gave senators to un
derstand that no fee was to be paid to
a lobbyist. The Senate was under the
Impression that all the money, except
$2,000 or $3,000, would go to the book
concern of the Methodist Church,
South.
WhattbeSenate feels aggrieved about
Is that it should have been misted by
|he agents of the book concern and
that Mr Stahlman got such a big slice
of the claim Now what is it going to
do with the facts which it has ob
tai'ned? It cannot get the money
back, because it is admitted that the
claim was a lawful one, and that the
book concern got no more than it was
entitled to. And there is nu doubt
that the book agents bad a right tn
make the contract which they did
with Mr. Stahlman The book agents*
however, are liable to be dealt with by
the church for deceiving the Senate,
and the church may refuse to accept
|he money.
It ie pretty certain, however, that if
the book agents had told the Senate
the exact fac>s, or if they had not em
ployed Mr. Stahlman or some other
person, the book concern wouldn’t
have got its claim allowed. Therefore
Congress is largely, if not wholly,
responsible for the misleading state
ments made to it and for the lobbying
that was done for the claim. Mr.
Stahlman has got the money promised
him and will no doubt keep it. It re
mains to be seen what the Southern
Methodist Church will do with its
share of the claim.—Savannah News.
