WORDS OF A HERO. “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.

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 Sure La Grippe Cure. There is no use suffering from this dreadful malady, if you will only get tbe right remedy.

J..W_LM-A1?I 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.
