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.

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. Statk of Ohio, City of Toledo, I Lucas County, f Frank J.

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 Great Discovery at J.N.

" i—- 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. wWU THE EXCELLENCE OF SW OF FNS is due not only to the originality and simplicity of the combination, but also to the care and skill with which it is manufactured by scientific processes known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only, and we wish to impress upon all the importance of purchasing the true and original remedy.
