Yellow Fever in American Army Causes Great Uneasiness-Sibouey Burned by Order of Officials ... E<r '' l( n/ ( - _ Jj/',, A ■' 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 ma, Bronchitis and ail throat and lung affections are positively cured by Dr. King’s New Discovery for Con sumption.

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 York Press.

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.

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.” Lcssods in Singing- Il may interest the people of this locality to learn that they op portunity to study singing with a voice master of experience.

P'Y ' * • ■* ROY Al BAKINQ FfiWMR NEW YORK. Imaaaamwai—aas— 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.
