“I WILL Oil* AND GO TO MY
DOOM SUNDAY.”
Spain May Sub for Peace This Wook
-High Spanish Officials Desortinc
—Cuban Soldiers No Good.
Washington, Joly 7.—Unofficial
advices to the. administration from
courses heretofore accorale say Spain
will sue for peace this week At the
same lime no such suggestion from
Spain, direct er indirect, has been re
ceived here.
Advices received here this morning
from General Shafter announces that
a uurtiber of high Spanish officers are
deserting across the lines at Santiago
into the American camp. This act is
regarded here as highly significant of
an early surrender.
The men say that there is actual
starvation in the city, and that the
men are so weak from hunger that
resistance is impossible. „
Admiral Sampson has telegraphed
the navy depaKment as follows from
bis flagship, New York, off Santiago,
dated yesterday: “About midnight
last night the Reina Mercedes was
seen by the Massachusetts, which ves
sel bad a searchlight on the channel,
coming out of the harbor of Santiago.
Tbe Massachusetts and Texas opened
fire and the Spanish vessel was sunk
opposite Estrella cove, I am inclined
to think it was tbe intention to sink
her in the channel, and thus blockade
the harbor entrance. If so, thia plan
was defeated by the fire of the ships,its
she lies on the edge of the shore,”
A war council was held at twwhite
house today when it was decided not
to storm Santiago immediately, be
lieving its downfall can be accom
plised without the heavy loss es men
and ships that would result from
storming the city.
General Young has reported lo this
government that the Cuban* who arc
supposed to be assisting the Ameri
cans in their efforts to capture Santia
go refuse to assist in the hospital and
commissary departments, or to help
open roads for th* transportation of
supplies to tbe front, tbs Cubans
claiming they are soldiers and not
laborers. General Young, pending
instructions from tbe government, has
placed tbe Cubans in a seperate camp
and refused to issue them further ra«
tions.
Assistant Naval Constructor Rich
mond P. Hobson and the seven sea
men wbo sailed the Merrimac into tbe
harbor of Santiago de Cuba and sunk
her, were surrendered by the Spanish
military authorities yesterday in ex
change for prisoners captured by tbe
American forces.
A dispatch to tbe New York World
from Madrid says:
When th* Madrid government
heard of the results of the battle be*
fore Santiago, July 1, it cabled t® Gsn.
Linares, Gen. Blanco and Admiral
Cervera* for the real state of affairs.
Then immediately ascertaining that
reinforcements could not possibly ar
rive in time to retrieve the Spanish
fortunes of war on land or save Santi
ago and the fleet, tbe government ca
bled Saturday asking the advice of
Admiral Cervera.
He demanded carte blanche to fol
low bi* judgment and to destroy bis
vessel* in tbe bay of Santiago rather
than let them fall into the bands of
the enemy.
The council ministers thereupon
instructed the ministers of marine and
of war to cable Admiral Cervera to
make a sortie at any cost, even at the
risk of destruction of his fleet, because
It was necessary to prevent a disaster
in tbe bay of Santiago for political and
dynastic'reasons.
Admiral Cervera cabled in reply : "I
will obey and go to my doom Sunday
morning.”
Tbe nary department is already
making arrangements to reoever as
much of the valuable Spanish fleet as
can be saved. Yeotsrday *□ agree
ment was closed with the Merritt <fc
Chapman Wrecking company to un
dertake the salvage of a* much prop
erty as possible from tbe wrecks.

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 8, 1898.
CKAIOI THUS VAIIK
PropoaitloM to Change the Name es
tbe Sons of Veterans-
Probably the most important busi
ness that will come before the sesrlou
of the Sons of Confederate Veterans
in the sessions to be held in .Atlanta
during tbe reunion will be the pre
pesedxhange in the name <f the or
gauis-t'hui.
Mr. Joseph Pelham, of Atlanta, who
i» a member of Oumn*ander-io*Cbief
Smith’s staff snd.in charge of the Sons
of Veterans’ headquarters, will make
the suggestion for the change of name.
He has been at work on hie project
for eome time end baa obtained a large
following and it is very likely (hat the
name will be changed.
Commander in-Chief Smith favor*
the change and will support it in the
meeting of the delegates from the
various camps of the Sons of Veterans.
Mr. Pelham proposes to hate the
name changed to Confederate Suns’
Association.
In support of this change Mr. Pel
ham says that the prims object is to
preserve the letters that are insepara
ble with the Southern Confederacy,
C. 8 A .being au abbreviation for tbe
Confederate States of America The
flags carried by the soldiers lor tbe
Confederacy, the buttons worn on
tbe clothes, the belt buckles, the arms
and every part of the equipment was
identified by “C 8. A.” and now since
tbe organization of associations which
has grown out of the war, it seems
but fitting, the supporter* of the sug
gestion say, that the C. 8. A., as far as
possible, should be preserved.
It is in keeping with the spirit of
the organization and will be a very
great improvement, as the grandsons
es the veteran* will be as eligible to,
mebihershta the organization
tbe sons of veterans. The organiza
tion can continue id grow and increase
as tbe progeny of the veterans in
crease, until the organization haw
members in every etale in the Union.
\ ■■ Two of John Allen’s Stories.
Before be concluded bis speech in
tbe bouse the other day, Represent*",
live John Allen, of Mississippi, told
two or three stories in his characteris
tic way, says the Washington Post.
They represented bis life as a Con*
federate soldier. He told bow be went
into tbe Confederate army as a private
soldier, being only a sickly boy .weigh
ing something like 100 pounds. He
said be bad fattened and grown on tbe
meager rations of the Confederate
army. He never went into battle
without fear and related the story of a
soldier who saw a bird singing in a
tree just before an engagement. “Ab>
bird, if I bad your wings,” remarked
the soldier, “I would not be singing
around here.”
Representative Allen, continuing,
said that after tbe war be bad fre
quently been punished in bis dreams
by the presence of bluecoats about
him. This popish meat had ceased
now that Wheeler, Buller and Fitz
hugh Lse were wearing the blue uni
forms of the republic. It reminded
Him of a letter abeut Tom Owen, an
ex-Oon federate of Mississippi, which
bad recently been written to Wash
ington Somebody asked Tom why he
had not enlisted iu the Union army to
fight the Spaniards. He replied that
bo bad been thinking about it, but
concluded not to do so. He was sure
he could make it alright with tbe boy*
here, but if be should wake up in
judgment with a blue Uniform on be
did not know wbat the boys, who had
been over there and did not know the
civil war was ever, might think of it.
They might yell “Deserter!”

The Man in His Home-
“Tbe seclusion of a hottie gives to a
man a certain freedom and attendant
privileges which no other place in the
world affords, and it it right that it
should,'* writes Edward Bek of “Tbe
Man In His Home,"in tbe July Ladies’
Home Journal.
“But it is not right that this free
dom and those privileges should be
abused lo tbe disadvantage of the wife
Too many men seem to have the idea
that they can drop into constant dis
consolate and ahurlhb moods al home
with their wives which in any other
place and by any other person would
not be tolerated.
“It is when a man is within tbe
walls of hie home that he is himself.
Then it is that he .should be at bis
best. When a man gives tbe best that
is within him to those closest to him,
bi* home will be the ideal place that
he wishes it to be
•‘No man has a right to expect from
bis wife wbat bo on bis part does not
give her If be wants her sympathy
he must give her bis consideration. If
a man lacks the'element of considera
tion he should cultivate it, and oulti
vate U Mot for the benefit of hbfrMufe
but for those 1n aid of bis home.
Consideration should begin at homo:
not in the homes of friends, as it so
often doe*—and end* there, too Tbe
atmosphere Which a man creates tn
bia home by example becomes the rule
by which hie child re u live. The tins

-for right or wrong living.”
TOE EXCELLENCE Os SIRIP OF FIRS

to the care and skill with which it is

given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a*guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
