SURRENDER OR DIE.
SPANIARDS HAVE IO AVENUE
OF ESCAPE LEFT
The Surrender of Santiago Hourly
Expected—An Official Report
from Oeneral Shafter-
J? ■
Washington, July 12 —The expect,
alien wae general today that Santiago
would he oura very coon.
The main source of apprehension
was that the Spaniards may have suc
needed in a considerable degree >n
evacuating the town before the Amer,
ican lines of investment were com
pleted, so that when the American
troops enters 1 it would be found a
'• mere empty busk of perhaps nothing
more than a desperate roar guard of
Spaniards left to protect and conceal
the retreat of the main body of troops.
Genoral Miles, who arrived at Sibo
ney on the Yale yesterday, made the
following report to Secretary Alger
today:
"Arrived at noon Had consultation
with Admiral Sampson and with Gen
eral Shafter by telephone. Troops
brought from Tampa, Charleston and
Now York arrived and leaving for the
front. Line of investment being ex*
tended. (Signed.) Miles.’*
General Miles has not taken and
will not take charge of the operations
now being conducted against Santiago.
Whatever credit is to bo derived from
the capture of that town if it results
from the prosecution of the present
plan of operation by General Shafter
will rebound to that officer’s credit.
But with bis appearance comes very'
substantial assistance for General
Shafter. With him on the Yale were
more than 1,000 men and considerable
artillery, whilo the Columbia, which
formed part of the expedition, is ex»
pooled to report her arrival at any
moment with the remainder of the
troops.
The following dispatch from General
Shatter was received here this morn*
lag:
Plata Del Eon, via Hayti, July
IS.—Headquarters Fifth Army Corps.
—Adjutant General, Washington i II
has been quiet; but little fighting. A
flag of trace up since 2 o’clock, con
sidering proposition for surrendering,
now that I have town surrounded on
the north; lines were completed
at 5 p. m. by General Ludlow
right down to the bay}
The line is rather thin, but will have
it strengthened in the morning by
Geo. Henry, who has just arrived at
beadquarters. Only three or four cas*
unities. Io one killed so far as I can
learn. Expect to baye two of the new
batteries in position. Great deal of
suffering among the people who have
gone out of Santiago. Am doing my
best to relievs it, but not entirely sue*
easeful. Shafter
Boatithe Klondike.

eovery than has yet been made in the

VETERANS REUNION
Extensive Preparations Being Made
For This Occasion.
The committee having in charge the
arrangements for the reunion of o<»n
-federate veterans, which will be held
in Atlanta, Joly 20, 21, 22 and 23,have
made preparation* for accommodating
50,000 ;>eople. Os this number 20,000
are veterans
The exsroist'H us the renuiou will be
held at Piedmont Park, the agricul
tural building having been transform--
ed into an amphitheater with seals
for 10,000
The government building adjoining
his been fitted up as a hotel, with am

Gen. John B. Gordon, the central
figure of the gathering, has been se
riously indisposed twice lately, but his
doctors say with proper reel he will be
fully able'to speak to* the veterans on
the 20ib.
A letter has been received from Gen.
Fitzhugh Lee expressing regret at be

military duties. Gen. Lee pays a high
complimeal to the valor of the Con
federate soldier. <
Nearly eyery southern state has al
ready named its sponsor and the names
of the fair ones have been registered
at headquarters.
Already Trying to Crawfish-
The News has been convinced from
the outset that the time would soon
come when the newspapers which
have been talking about the beroio
Cubans and comparing Gomez with
Washington would ieel ashamed of
themselves. Already evidences of re*
morse are observed in a great many
exchanges which a low months ago
were lauding the Cubans to the skies.
Here is a case in point from a certain
Georgia exchange, which says:
"Our readers wi'l bear witness that
we have exhibited np disposition at
any time to glorify the Cuban cause;
nor have wo been able to justify the
sentimental crusade started in thia
country a year or so ago in the inter
est of Cuban independence. We have
all along regarded the pubans as a
shiftless, treacherous, ignorant lot, and
as being utterly incapable of self
government. Recent events , have coni
firmed us more strongly in this belief
and the American public io beginning
to think and talk the same way.”
And yet we have seen in that very
paper yard after yard of senseless rot
about the down trodden Cubans. And
there are very few newspapers in the
country that have not wasted more or
less sympathy on these cattle. Now,
however, they are beginning to learn
tbeir real character, and are ashamed
of tbeir former expressions.
And so they should be. The North’s
attitude toward the negro has never
been half so disgusting as the attitude
of this “reunited country” toward the
worthless half-breeds to the south of
us. And the more we try to do for
them the more will we become con
vinced of this fact.
The truth is, now that we have been
tricked into going to war for these
people, these is only one thing to do
with Cuba—drive ogt the Spaniards,
kill off the Cubans and take possession
of tbs island.—Macon News.

HOBBON S RETURN
Richard Harding Davis’ DMoriptiM
of the Alabamian’s Reoeption-
Hobsuu’s coming was one dramatic
picture of the war. The son was sel
ling behind the trail, and as ho eamo
up over the creel he was outlined
agiinet it. |
Under • triumphal arch of palms
the soldie is saw a young man in the
uniform of the navy, his face- white,
With the prison pallor, as bis white
duck, abd strangely in contrast with
the fierce tan of their own, and with
serious eyes, who looked down al them]
steadily
For a moment be s emed to sit mo-1
t ion less and then tbe waiting band
struck up "Tbe Star Spangled. Ban
ner.” A strange thing it was that no
one cheered or shouted nor gave, an
order, but every one rose to bis feet
Slowly, took off his bat slowly, and
stood so, looking up al him in absolute
silence.
It wae one of tbe moat impressive
things I ever saw. No noise nor blare
nor shouted acclaim could have
touched the meaning or the depths of
feeling there was in that silence.
Then a red-headed, red faced trooper
leaped down into the road and shout
ed, “Three ebeers for Hobson t* The
men roared and cheered. The Rough
Riders gave a cowboy yell and officers
with sons in West Point leaped up and
down', and a foreign attache threw up
bis helmet into the air.
Hobson rods down between tbe
lines, raising bis cap and smiling
doubtfully. Probably no ono ever re
ceived reward so swiftly or from as
worthy hands as those of the men who
first taught him what bo was to bij
countrymen.
They were no seekers after celebri
ties. That will come later. They
were mao, instead, who knew a brave
man, because they were brave. They
had won tbe very ground be was on
from tbe enemy. It bad cost them the
loss of 1,800 comrades.
They camo running from the
trenches, from tbe lake where they had
been washing clothes. They charged
up tbe hills of Ban Juan a second limo
and surrounded them in a shouting,
happy mob.
Behind them rode two Spanish
officers who had been taken beyond
the lines only to find no one to ex
change for them. They sat on their
horses, blindfolded with “first aid to
the wounded” bandages, and listened
to the tribute tbe Americans paid
tbeir young countryman.
There is always something humor
ous about the “jackies,” and after tbe
serious earnest face of Hobson it was
a comic relief to see six obstinate
mules dragging an ambulance loaded
with seven clean, smart blue jackets,
grinning, shouting, rolling over each
other in glee. Every ono who bad
started to run after Hobson stopped
to cheer them, but they were turned
aside from cheers by the enlisted men
shouting: “Bay, but you sea fellers
did not do a thing to them tbe other
nightl”
“Say, we heard you; see?” yelled the
jackies. “Your shells fell right into
our boepßal yard.” ...» . ,
“Say, but we wished we was with
you; see?”
“They come in dead in carts.”
“You could not see tbe street for
them.”
It wm no time for choosing similes.
Mon were standing on the rising banks
and the hills, waving hats and shout
ing. Officers were shouting Hobson’s
name. Photographers were leaping
about, perpetuating a moment.
Il was the same story all the way to
flibouey. Every little group of sol
diers they came across stood at atten
tion at the unusual sight of a navy
uniform When they recognised the
men they waved their bate and cheer
ed.
Hobson wae tbe first officer I have
•een saluted in six days. They have
been too busy to salute. Before be
came the Seventy-first New York was
mending a road, but tbe men gave a
yell when they saw him and rushed
waist high ' through the river and
stopped tbe cavalcade while they
mobbed him, shook both his hands at
once him three cheers.
Aa he rode along they told him aome
that bad happened whilo be bad been
in jail and bow in a day be had be
come a national hero.
Il wae the meet wonderful ride a
young man of 28 baa ever undertaken
I—to ride through the enemy’scounlry

But of all, when be rode through
the twilight and reached the coast and

jubilant cheera of tbe bluejacketa, who

The Bishops Bpsak.
The bishops of the Methodiat church,
south, have published a card in which
they aay their church will not accept
tbe |2BB 000 allowed it by congress if
the senate adopts a resolution to tbe
effect that it was induced to allow the
claim by misleading statements made
by representatives of tbe church.
It is not probable that tbe senate
will adopt any such resolution. Tbe
report of the committee which invest
igated the charge that the allowance
of tbe claim had been obtained by mis
leading atatementa, states that no ac*
Atm the aenate has taken In
the least on tbe Methodist church,
south.
There is no doubt, however, that
Mr. Btahlman did not let tbe senators
who asked him about the claim know
all the facts, and tbe agents of the
book concern were far leas frank than
the senators think they ought to have
been. Still, if Mr. Btahlman had been
perfectly open with inquiring senators
and tbe book agents bad told the
whole truth the claim wouldn’t have
been allowed, notwithstanding the fact
that it wae a perfectly just one, and
should have been paid a quarter of a
century ago.
While it is true that tbe book agents
cannot be defended for letting senators
believe that no attorney’s fee x as to be
piid out of the claim, the senators
themselves are chiefly to blame in tbe
whole matter, because they held up a
juat claim for twenty-five years and
made it necessary in order to get it al
lowed to pay an attorney 35 per cent
ol it.—Savannah News.
