Thia Government Mot Informed of
Spain’s Acceptance of Terms
Washington, Aug. B.—The reports
from Madrid byway of London stating
that Spain had determined upon an ans
wer to the demands of the United States
and that the answer had been sent or was
now enroute to Washington, had the effect
of arousing the most lively interest in all
official quarters today.
While the reports are accepted as show
ing the undoubted tendency of the Span
ish government for pence and as likely to
be borne out in the near future by the for-,
mal response of Madrid, yet It can be
stated positively that so far the United
States government has received no answer
from Spain, nor has the French embassy
received an answer which will be commu
nicated to the authorities..
It appears from that that the answer
could not have been sent from Madrid on
Monday, as stated in some of the foreign
reports. The Misapprehension doubtless
arises from the fact that the Madrid cabi
net, after receiving the American terms,
desired more information upon some of
the points involved.
This led to a cable communication to
M. Cambon. It was not intended as a
response to the American terms, and it
was in no sense’conclnrive upon the sub
ject matter of the negotiations.
There was no need even of a call by M.
Cambon at the white house or at the state
department. .
This continues to be the situation up to
the present time, namely > communication
having been received relative to the Amer
ican terms, but not one of such a Anal
character aa to constitute an answer for
submission to the'United States, govern
ment.
The negotiations have not progressed
sufficiently to indicate who shall be the
parties to this agreement, or rather who
shall represent the principals, the United
States and Spain. It is possible that it
maybe signed in Washington as between
Secretary Day *n<J M.Cambon, or on
other hand, the amdassadors of Spain and
the United States in one of the European
countries, probably in this case France,
might meet and by tbs authorization of
their respective government sigs this
agreement.
The protocol, if it may be so called, in
either cue would not take the place in
any manner of the treaty of peace which
would be drawn up later by commission
ers to be appointed for this purpose.
Under the terms of the president’s note,
if they shall be accepted by Spain, ths
Spanish government is bound to evacuate
Cuba and Porto Rico immediately. This
action is not to wait,npon the work of the
peace commissioners, but toprecede it and
to follow immediately upon the signature
of the memorandum accepting the presi
dent’s conditions.

The Situation at Santiago is Very
Critical
Washington, Aug. 3—Gen Shaf
ter's health reports today state that
be is now caring for over 6,000 sick
people, including Spanish soldiers,
many of whom were found to be very
ill. The task is a formidable one and
the attempt to care for all hands prob
ably explains, in a measure, the lack
of adequate preparation of the trans
ports employed in bringing home some
of the wounded and sick. The con
ditions on these boats were found to
be so shocking as to demand an im
mediate official investigation, which
was begun yesterday, and some court
m arris la may be looked for in high
places unless it can be shown clearly
that the lack of preparations was
unavoidable
Major General Young called at the
department yesterday, fresh from the
front, where bis health broke down
under the severe exertions imposed
by the campaign. He spent some,
time with Secretary Alger, as did
Major General Wade, who has not yet
been able to perfect the arrangements
for his expedition to Porto Rico.
For the transportation thereof the
war department is making an effort to
secure the two American liners Har
vard and Yale, late the New York and
Paris, now in the charter of the navy
department, and it is believed that the
effort has succeeded.
As to tbe’other liners, St. Paul and
St. Louie, the navy department has
not yet rtached a decision, though in
view of the president’s desire to curtail
war expenditures wherever possible, it
is expected that they too, will be sur
rendered by the navy department in
the coarse of a few days. In thia case
four of the navy captains would be left
without commands, namely, Sigsbee>
of the St. Paul; Wise, of the Yale;
Goodrich, of the St Louis, and Cotton,
of the Harvard, for even if the vessels
were used as army transports the law
would not permit naval officers to
command them.
Reports which have been received
from Porto Rico have given great sat
isfaction to the officials of the war de
partment since they go to show that
the resistance which will be made by
the Spanish troops will be very little,
and it is even possible that Gen. Miles
will achieve an almost bloodless vic
tory. In fact, it has been suggested
with some plausibility that the Madrid
government realizing the impendency
of peace and the lack of loyalty toward
the monarchy of the mass of Porto
Ricans have allowed the Spanish gar
risons of the island to understand that
they are not expected to sacrifice their
lives in useless resistance to superior
force, so that all that is to be expected
is to be a rather formal opposition to
the progress of Gen. Miles’s triumphal
march across the island.
Hon- E. W. Beck-
The death of this distinguished Georgian
and able jurist, at his home in Griffin, on
the 25th of July, will send a thrill of deep
sorrow into the hearts of those who knew
him.
For several years Judge Beck attended
the superior court in this city, and by his
affable and pleasing manners he won the
respect of all who came In contact with
him. He was the warm friend and con
temporary of Col. A. D. Hammond, one of
the brainiest lawyers and most captivat
ing orators in the state, who died in this
city several years since.—Forsyth Chroni

Bullet Plentd Him.
Edward Culverr Rough Rider, lies
at the Marine Hospital, Staten Island,
with the bullet in his body that killed
Sergt. Hamilton Fish in the memora
ble fight with the Spaniards at La
Quasina, Santiago. He and Fish lay
flat on the ground, close together,
firing on the enemy, when a Mauser
bullet pierced Fish’s left side, came
out of the right and hit Culver in the
left breast, just above the heart. He
will always carry in his breast the
missile that slew his comrade

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, AUGUST 4. 1898. ®
CAMP NORTHXN.
Another company was mustured in yes
terday afternoon and this time it was Grit
fin’s company under Capt. A. J. Burr.
Yesterday morning Capt. Bun reported
to CoL Candler and informed him that he
had 107 men in his company and was
ready for mustering.
Col. Candler transferred seven men from
this company leaving Capt. Burr with Just
one hundred men who were mustered in
at a late hour in the afternoon.
Capt Burr and his men have worked
very hard to recruit their company up to
the full quota and deserve a great deal of
credit for their success, The men are
all practically well drilled and in appear
ances are for superior to any other in
camp.
Co. G, Capt Powell, of Newnan, will
be the next to be mustered in. This com
pany now has 90 men sworn in and more
than enough men in the company street
to recruit it up. They will probably take
the oath tomorrow.
Capt. Banders and Capt Hodges, who a
few days ago were far in the rear in men,
are fast filling up and the present indica
tions are their companies will not be the
last ready for mustering.
The men now present a most interest
ing appearance on dress parade and at
tract large crowds each afternoon;
The men are now under the strictest
military discipline. Every duty must be
performed to the letter or the offender is
punished for his waywardness.
Every man who leaves the camp after
retreat must have, a pass and register at
the guard house both going and coming.
No passes are issued later than 10:80 and
those foiling to get in before that hour are
generally given ten days police duty.
Yesterday morning Gene Joiner, a ne
gro hack driver, was detected stealing
from one of the companies and was arrest
ed and placed unAr guard until about
11 o’clock when Deputy Sheriff Freeman
went out after him and placed him in jail
to be tried for his crime.
Col. Candler issued an order in the
morning prohibiting any one bringing or
eatikg melons within the Mnes of camp.
This was done to keep th* grounds in a
perfect sanitary condition.
The hospital is about the quitest place
on theground which speaks well for the
health of the regiment.
Some few complaints are heard each
day bat none ever go to bed.
Making Mistakes-
Don’t be afraid of making mistakes.
Timidity never accomplished anything in
this world. All men make mistakes and a
great many of them. But if you are going
to wait until you are entirely sure you
will not do anything wrong from a busi
ness standpoint, you will never accom
' plish your object in this life. If you have
such an overpowering fear of an error of
judgment the best thing you can do is
hunt some humble ill-paid clerkship where
your employer will be financially respon
sible for your mistakes and will reap prac
tically all the benefits of your labor. If
, you wish to amount to something, then
pitch in, do the best you can, forget all
about your mistakes except so far as you
find use for them as a future guide, and
the chances are more than even that you
will come out ahead. If you don’t, then
try it again, and with care and persever-
• ance you are bound to win.—Agricultural
