The Miami and Matewan have only forage on board. They have been retained until near the last on account of their condensing 13,000 gallons of water each per day, without which the fleet could not have gotten along.” General Corbin transmitted a copy of this telegram to General Coppinger, commanding the troops at Tampa. “You should have troops in readiness,” he says, "to embark for Porto Hico on their arrival The secretary of war di reels me to say that be has’no objec tion to your going to Forte Rico with any part of your command when you may desire, but on leaving you will notify this office and ths next officer in rank to yourself will succeed you in command.” Orders have been sent by the de partment to General Brooke, who, it is expected, will arrive at Ponce probably today, directing him to send back the transports which conveyed the troops of the Porto Bican expedition as soon as possible. The troops will be em barked at Newport Mews probab'y, but the ships are to be returned to New York, because of the quarantine regu lations. The additional troops to be sent to Porto Rico will go very likely Jrom Chickamauga, and will be such part of General Brooke’s corps as it is deemed desirable to tdd to the expedi tion already sent to Porto Rico. Reconstruction in Cuba. ft follows that Cuba will be for a time occupied by United States troops, and controlled in every district for a time after the war much after the manner in which the South was oc cupied after the civil war, during the period of so called “reconstruction ” Cuba will be given self-government, no doubt, but the loyal and rebel ele ments will need to be kept from each other’s throats while orderly represen tative government is being established- This need not involve a repetition of the tyrannies of federal officials in the South after the civil war, nor the sat- Airnalia of corruption that prevailed •there during the carpet-bag regime. The animosities of the reconstrnction .era do not exist as between Americana and Spanish in Cuba, so that our gov- is in a position to hold bal -.a nee even between the Spanish on the one band and the filibusters and ue jfroes on the other.—Baltimore Sun.

Although wo indemnity is to be de manded from Spain, the question of money is bound to play an important part in the peace negotiations. A very considerable pait of Spain’s debt was incurred in suppressing in surrections in Cuba The amount of this part of her debt is about $170,000,- 000. Almost all the bonds which rep resent it are held in France, and for the payment of the principal and in terest of the bonds Cuba’s custom house texes are pledged. It is incon ceivable that our government will lis ten to any proposition that Cuba shall assume the payment of these bonds or that the United Slates shall pay them. While it may be true that tbe Cu bans compelled Spain to issue these bonds in her efforts to maintain au thority in Cuba, the fact cannot be overlooked that they were struggling to free themselves from conditions which were intolerable. Had Spain dealt with Cuba io a liberal manner there would have been no insurrec tions, and consequently no debt con tracted in putting down insurrections. Besides, Spain has exacted from the Cubans within the last half century, above a legitimate revenue, many limes the amount of the bonds. Tbe Cubans have received no benefit from any part of Spain’s debt, and should not be required to pay any part of it in tbe settlement which the United States is now making with Spain. Wo do not know, of course, what demands Spain will make in thia matter, but ire feel sure that our gov ernment will not accede to any of them. When Cuba sets up a govern ment of her own it should Be free from any money obligations except those which her own people have incurred* or are willing to assume. As far as the United States are con cerned, there is not tbe least probabil ity that they will undertake to pay any of Spain's debt incurred in her efforts to retain her hold on Cuba. But it is probable that they will insist that Spain shall pay all tbe claims which American citizens have against her for losses due to the .failure to en force tbe laws in Cuba. Tbe amount of these claims is not yet known/but that it is large is admitted. While, therefore, no indemnity may be demanded from Spain she will have a big bill of damages to pay before she will be granted the peace for which she is now suing —-Savannah News. Accident on the Central- A fatal accident occurred on tbe Central railroad yesterday at 1:30 p. m., near Fort McPherson, which re sulted in the death of one man and the fatal injury of another. It is impossible to tell bow the acci dent was caused, but the regular southbound freight and a train loaded with troops for Austell collided, and Vance Vaughn, a fireman, was killed ; Gus Wallace, a fireman, sustained in juries that will probably prove fatal, and J. J. Green, another engineer, was badly Injured. The injured ones were taken to the hospital at Fort McPherson, where they reccivered medical attention.

Prince Bismarck Dead. ’ Berlin, August I.—Prince Otto von Bismarck died Saturday night at 11 o’clock at Friedrichsruh. His sons, Counts Willism and Herberts, with their wives, were present at bis death. His condition since morning had indi cated that tbe end was near.

While Naval Constructor Hobson has mabifested great reticence in •peaking of hie treatment by the Span ish authorities after (he Merriasac sunk, and has avoided any reference to bis experiences as a prisoner which might increase the esteem in which be is held by the officials and by the public generally, he has talked heely on the subject to bis immediate supe riors, who declare that for a time he was treated by the Spaniards as a common criminal,- instead of being accorded the rights of a prisoner of war. According to Chief Constructor Hicbchbern, immediately after tbe capture of Hobson's men by Admiral Cerrera, when it was thought that be and bis men alone had survived from the wreck of an American battleship, destroped by torpedoes in attempting to force the harbor, tbe Spaniards were too jubilant to pay much attention to him, but when they realized that no American lives bad beed lost, and tbe channel bad been obstructed, if at all, only by a worthless collier, they looked upon him with amazement as a hero whose gallantry far exceeded any Spanish conception of what a man might do for his country, and it was with great chagrin that Admiral Cer vera was prevented by the Madrid au thorities from returning the heroic young officer and his brave men to Admiral Sampson, but compelled to deliver them to the military authori ties ashore as prisoners of war. Gen. Linares, with the brutal in stinct that bad marked bis conduct of Cuban affairs already intrusted to him, deliberately placed Hobsen and bis men in Morro Castle as a shield against tbe fire of Sampson’s squadron, and here be was locked up for five days in solitary confinement in a filthy dun geon, under conditions which, he says, must have soon resulted In bis serious illness and perhaps bis death. The treatment be received and tbe scanty food given him were no better than those accorded to a common criminal condemned to execution. This punishment, however, was of short duration, on account of tbe vigo rous protest which *•• made through a neutral Power to Spain, coupled with Admiral Sampson’s notice to the Spanish admiral that be would be held personally responsible for Hob son’s welfare. Under these circum stances, Admiral Cervera interposed his influence with Gen Linares, and Hobson, with his men, were transs ferred to tbe barrack* in tbo city. Here his solitary confinement contin ued, but he could look out of a win dow to the hills on tbe east and see tbe smoke from tbe American rifles of Gen. Shafter’s men, firing from their intrenchmente, with ths consolation that his captivity would be of short duration. The food given to him was of the most wretched character, probably because tbe Spaniards them selves could spare no better, but the British consul frequently brought him delicacies from his own table. A Span* isb official was invariably present, however, during these visits to prohib it conversation, and no news of Occur rences around him was ever permitted to reach Hobson. In this manner be was kept in ignorance of tbe destruc tion of Oervsra’s fleet until his ex change was completed, and he had en tered the American lines —New York Tribune, Enterprising Druggists.

The superior court of thia county convened on yesterday morning, His Honor, Judge Marcus Beck, presiding. “Jurors were both grand and petty. Tbe grand jurors retired and elected .Mr. A. W. Blake foreman and T. W. Manfey aa bailiff. Judge Beck’s charge to the jury, as all bis charges are, was an able exposi tion of the law, required to be given in charge to the jury. Tbe judge intia mated that his fines for violations of the local option law would not be very light. He made special mention of this for tbe reason that tbe people had passed the law themselves. Tbe judge thought the law could be enforced if tbe grand jury would do its duty, which it willno doubt do under tbe able leadership of Mr. Blake. Tbe judge called the attention of tbe grand jurors to the fact that it would be difficult to bold coart in the Courtroom unless the carpeting re moved was replaced, as tbe noise was almost unbearable. It is hoped by the lime court convenes Thursday morniog that it will ba replaced. Two state oases were tried ; one of the state vs. Wm. Rinehart, Jr., for tbe sale of intoxicating liquors. Tbe jury codld not agree and after being out for some time a mis-trial was declared. The jury stood nine for conviction and three for acquittal. In tbe case of tbe state vs. Tom Clifford, tbe state failed to make out a case and the solicitor general aban doned it- Several divorce cases were beard and divorces granted. Judge Beck announced that no civil business would be tried, but that he would bold an adjourned term later in tbe fall for trial of civil matters. Court took a recess until Thursday morning, when all witnesses and'p«r* ties are expected to be present in criminal cases. If any are absent the judge will likely call a special term to try tbe absentees.
