Yellow Fever in American Army
Causes Great Uneasiness-Sibouey
Burned by Order of Officials

Washing tom, July 18.—The war de
partment has given out the following
from Gen. Shafter t
“Headquarters Near Santiago, July 13—
Adjutant General, Washington: Your
telegram saying no modification of orders
allowed Just received. Have had an inter
view of an hour and a half with Gen.
Toral and have extended truce until noon
tomorrow; told him that his surrender
only will be considered and that he was
without hope of escape and had no right
to continue the fight.
“I think it made a strong impression on
him and hope for his surrender. If he re
fuses I will open fire on him at 12 noon
tomorrow with every gurt I have, and will
have the assistance of the navy, who are
ready to bombard with 13-inch shells.
Signed. “Shaftxh.”
The faces of the members of the war
board wore serious and set expressions
when the councilor war broke up this
morning. The meeting of the war board
was followed by a joint meeting of the
board and cabinet.
General Alger carried with him a num
ber of dispatches which have been coming
in from General Miles but they were not
given out.
It is known that they treat ot the dan
gers from yellow fever and express the
belief that the disease was brought among
the Americans by refugees who were al
lowed free access to the camps and quar
termaster’s department. The result of
General Miles’ dispatches is an order
which has been sent to him to strike the
final blow at once.
The great anxiety visible on all sides
early this morning gave way to an easier
feeling when the determination to assault
at once became known.
The dispatch which was framed at the
council of war to Gen. Miles read to use
his own judgment ip all things and attack
at once if possible. It urged Miles to use
strenuous means to protect troops from
fever, and notified him that hospital rein
forcements would be sent at once.
Fourteen suspicious feyer oasee have
broken out among employees of the quar
termaster’s department near Santiago .-The
men have been isolated and confidence is
expressed in the ability of the doctors.to
stamp out the disease, which is believed to
be yellow fever.
The little town of Sibouey, composed
of about fifty buildings, was burned Tues
day by order of the army health authori
ties. The Cuban inhabitants fled to the
caves in the hillside for shelter. This ac
tion was taken to rid the hospital camp
of the dirty and unhealthy buildings.
Beats the Klondike,
Mr. A. C Thomas, of Marysville,
Tex , has found a more valuable dis*
covery than has yet been made in the
Klondike.For years he suffered uulold
agouy from consumption, accompa
nied by hemorrhages; and was abso
lutely cured by Dr King’s New Dis
covery for Consumption, Coughs and
Colds. He declares that gold is of lit
tie value io comparison with this mar
velous cure; would have it, even if it
cost a hundred dollars a Dottie Asth

Who Was the Man!
I have thus far been unable to find out
the name of the man Who introduced the
plan of charging a cent less than a multi
ple of 10 for goods sold in department
stores. He was one of the geniuses of the
century. While he deprived a house that
does $5,000,000 of business annually of
$50,000 in cash, estimating the sales at »n
average of 99 cents each, he helped to in
crease the patronage threefold, or more,
by exciting the cupidity and economic
faculties of customers. The department
stores should erect a monument to him,
inscribing on the four sides, “89, 49, 89,
99.” He was an able student of human
nature who divined that woman will
spend 10 cents in car fare to buy for 99
cents a yard of goods which she might
have gotten across the street for sl.—New

CAMP SOBTHBV DOTS.
New Recruits Coming In Rapidly for
Third Regiment-
-
K. few moments spent at Camp Northen
each day will readily convince one of the
fact that Georgia will soon send another
regiment of soldiers to the cattle field.
The soldiers are now drilling fromiour
to six hours each day and when all are
upon the parade ground in squads of
twelve or twenty,they show off to a decid
ed advantage and one can readily tee
from day today the improvement in their
movements.
Camp has practically been established
as Col. Candler has issued orders to that
effect, which are rigidly enforced.
Guard mount is had each afternoon at
5:45 o’clock, when a detail from each
company is accepted to serve guard dur
ing the night
A post office has been established upon
the ground and mall delivered to the men
after each train.
No complaining is heard from any
source regarding the rations. The men
knew beforehand what they would have
to eat and are raising no objections. In
fact, all seem to enjoy it. |
The companies are slowly filling up;
new recruits are coming in all the time,
and it is hoped the Third regiment will
soon be ready for mustering in.
About 15 recruits came down from
Newnan yesterday afternoon for Captain
Powell’s company, and Captain Davies, of
Atlanta, sent down between 25 and 80.
• F. A. Freeman Dead-
Mr. F. A. Freeman died at 2 o’clock yes
terday moaning at his home about four
miles west of this city, at the ripe old age
of 70 years. He was stricken with paraly
sis about four years since, but recovered
sufficiently to attend to business, and his
familiar face has been seen in Griffin fre
quently since that time.
For several months past, however, he
has been confined to his room, peacefully
and submissively waiting for the summons
which he knew would soon come.
He told bis devoted wife a few weeks
since that he would die on his YOth birth
day, and strange to say, he did so. He was
born on July 18,1822, and as the clock in
bis room struck the hour of 12 Tuesday
he began to sink very rapidly, and at 2
o’clock a. m., July 18, 1898, he breathed
his last.
Mr. Freeman has lived in Spalding
county tor about 50 years, where he has
raised a large family and accumulated
considerable property. He was a consis
tent member of the Methodist church of
this city, and lived a life that is worthy of
emulation, and has gone to his reward.
There is hardly a man, woman or child
in Spalding county that did not know
Uncle Frank Freeman, who greeted all
with a happy smile, hearty handshake
and a word of kindness.
He leaves tofrnourn his death, a loving
wife and eight children, George W., J. T.,
Miss Abbie, R. L„ Miss Maude, Ben Hill,
Mrs. O. W. Cooper, of Oxford, Ala., and
Dr. Ciarance Freeman, of Belton, Texas.
The funeral services will be held at biz
late residence this morning at 10 o’clock,
conducted by Rev. T. J. Christian. His
remains will be interred io the Citizen’s
cemetery.

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 14, 1868

WILL BE EXPLODED.
War Department Hu Ordered De
struction of Submarine Minos.
t
Washington, July 13.—The secretary
of war has ordered the removal of all sub
marine mines which now protect the har
bors of the United States against the entry
of hostile ships.
For weeks past, in fact, almost since the
beginning of hostilities, the war depart
ment has been deluged with protests from
the commercial interests of the country
against the continuance of these t mines,
which operated to lhe great detriment of
commerce. In certain cases influences
were brought to bear that secured an
abatement of the rules, but this only in
creased the dissatisfaction in localities
where they were rigidly applied. Practi
caly it has been impossible tor shipping to
enter or leave any of the harbors of the
United States during the last two months
between the hours of sunset and sunrise.
The decision of the cabinet to remove
these mines now is one of the most signal
manifestations of the supreme confidence
of the government in the future and the
protection of the United States from attack
at the hands of any hostile power.
After thoroughly considering the subject
it has been decided by the engineers that
the safest and quickest means of removing
the mines is by exploding them, and or
ders to do this have been prepared for
transmission to all of the United States en
gineer officers in charge of harbor defenses
throughout the country.
While the mines proper are to be re
moved, all the incidental attachments nec
essary to their attainment and retention
will be left, such as switchboards, etc., so
if it is found necessary to replace the
mines it will be done on short notice.
Ordered to Sink Schley’s Ship.
Captain Eulate, of the armored Spanish
cruiser Vizcaya, gives the following
graphic description of the destruction of
Admiral Cervera’s fleet by Admiral.Bamp
son’s squadron:
“The entire squadron was ordered to de
vote the fire of the guns to the Brooklyn,
because it was believed that she was the
only ship in the American squadron that
could overtake us. When we got out of
the harbor nay alilp was secondj*
the Maria Teresa, the flagship, was getting
a terrible baptism of fire. It was frightful..
The Texas and Brooklyn were just rid
dling her, and in fifteen minutes I saw she
was on fire. The Oregon and lowa were
firing on the Oquendo, and as yet I had
not been badly hit
“The Brooklyn was a half mile closer to
us than any other ship, and I determined
to try to ram her so that the Colon and
Oquendo could get away, and I started for
her. She was a good mark, with her big
broadside, and as I started I thought
surely I would get her, but she had evi
dently seen us, and turning about, mak
ing a short circle, came at our port side so
that I thought she would ram us. I
moved in toward shore so that I could
avoid her, and then I saw that the Oquen
do had gone ashore also, her steam pipes
evidently having been severed by a shell.
“The maneuver of the Brooklyn was
beautiful. We opened a rapid fire at her
with all our big guns, but she returned it
with terrible effect. The Oregon also hit
us several times, but the Brooklyn’s
broadside, crashing into our superstruct
ure, simply terrorized the men. We
worked all our guns at her at one time,
and Ido not see how she escaped us. She
simply drove us into shore at one time,
fighting us at 1,100 yards. One shell
went along the entire gun deck, killing
half the men on it and wounding nearly
all the reel. /
“The Brooklyn prevented me from get
ting away, fori could have beaten the
Oregon out, as I had a two-mile lead of
her. My orders were to try to sink the
Brooklyn, and I tried to carry them out.
I did not think that her battery could be
so terrible as it was.”

How They View It.
The Providence Journal says: “It
is unprecedented, so far as New Eng
land experience goes, that a city like
Fall River, a hive of industry if there
ever was one, should suffer a loss of
three and five-tenths psr cent, of its
population in a single year. ■ Is a like
fate to descend upon other cotton man.
ufacturing centers in consequence of
Southern competitionT”
Commenting on this the Washing
ton Post says:
“Few questions of greater gravity
than this have ever confronted an
American community. Fall River is
a typical New England cotton manu
facturing city. What is happening
there is going on in other hives of in
dustry. Under old time normal con
ditions that city would have experienc
ed a growth in population and wealth,
instead of falling off 3 5 per cent, in
the last twelvejponths.
The Post baa no doubt that the busi
ness of manufacturing cotton will
eventually be located in the South
through the operation of natural laws.
The reasons for this belief are too well
known to .require reiteration. Tho
exM'nction of slavery and the conse
quent readjustment of iadoatrles put
operation those laws of business
which had they been operative in the
infancy of the cotton factory, would
have been fatal to the development of
that business anywhere in the United
States except in the closest practicable
proximity to the cotton fields.
“It was New England more than
any other section that led the fight
against slavery. The South has been
the chief beneficiary of emancipation.
Through that cause the South has
entered upon a career of industrial
progress that bids lair to make her the
richest section of “the richest country
on the globe.” But is New England
to be punished by the decay of her
great industry for the leading part she
bore in hunting slavery to death?"’
THE HCOLENCE OF STOOP OF HOS
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 Strut
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the Cauforjoa Fig Syrup Co
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
forria Fig Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of ita remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
