Battleships return.
NORTH ATLANTIC SQUADRON
LEAVES CUBA FOR AMERICA.
.
Preaident McKinley is Canvassing
Public Sentiment as to Military
’ Needed During Timo of Peace.
Washington, Aug. 15 —Admiral
Sampson with the lour big battleships
and two armored cruisers o! bis fleet
is now on Lis way north, having sail'
ed at 10 o'clock yesterday morning
from Santiago.
Admiral Schley, on the cruiser
Brooklyn, accompanied the fleet. The
naval orders made public today give
the Brooklyn as starting on the 11th
from Playa to the south coast of Cuba.
This, however, was prior to the orders
issued on the suspension of hostilities,
when the Brooklyn was included with
other ships ordered north.
The naval authorities expect the
fleet at Tompkinsville the latter part
of the week.
The navy department is considering
the project of a naval review in New
York harbor on next Saturday, when
the battleships and cruisers under Ad
miral Sampson arrive. Efforts have
been made to department
to have a review of the ships and a
land revie# of the sailors. It is prob
able that the final decision will be to
have the war vessels go up the river to
Grants' tomb at Riverside and there
fire a salute. ~
Officials are still without definite
knowledge as to when the orders re*
lating to the occupation of Manila
went forward to Admiral Dewey and
Gen. Merritt, but Consul Wildman at
Hong Kong, press dispatches say,
chartered a private vessel and sent the
dispatches and the orders
Some response from Dewey ,or Mer
ritt accordingly is looked for about
Thursday or Friday byway of a dis
patch boat from Manila to Hong
Kong. Meanwhile there is the possi
bility that the cable may begin work'
ing at any moment.
The orders to Admiral Dewey were
muph more elaborate than those sent
to commanders in other quarters.
They recited" the president's peace
proclamationfin full and also recited
that the action of the protocol refer
ring to American occupation of Ma
nila and its bay and harbor. *
Secretary Alger said today that in
view of the fact that no dispatches
have been received from General Mer
ritt there probably has been no furth
er conflict between the United States
and Spanish forces at Manila since the
4th instant. Some days ago there was
considerable anxiety in the depart*
ment as to whether any action had
taken place, but as tbe r department
learned yesterday that no dispatch
boat had arrived from Manila and
none was expected, the statue quo is
supposed to have existed at Manila.
Owing to an error in transmission
Article 111, of the full text of the
pease protocol, as cabled from Madrid,
was not given with accuracy. The
text of this article is really as follows:
"Article 111. The United States
will occupy and hold the city, bay and
harbor of Manila, pending the conclu
sion of a treaty of peace which shall
determine the control, disposition and
government of the Philippines.”
President McKinley is canvassing
public sentiment as to the needs of
military organisations in the time Os
peace and has consulted a number of
visitors as to how much of an army
they think should be kept up after the
treaty of peace is executed.
No conclusion has been reached as
yet on this point, but it is receiving
considerable attention on the part of
the administration.
Acting Secrstsry of Allen
was with the president part of the
morning, going over important mat
ters incident to the close jot the war,
including the question of a reorgani
zation of tbe present navy and its re
duction to what is actually needed. It
was decided to create a board of 3ve
naval officers to pass upon the matter.
Acting Secretary Allen said that tbe
board would be appointed immediate
ly and that it would convene probably
before tbe close of the week. Its func'
lion will be to determine what vessels
now in the navy sbonld be retained,
which of them should have their gov
ernment charters discontinued or their
use by the government otherwise dis*
pensed with, what changes to make in
the vessels kept, etc.
This board will coosjst, as now plan'
ned, of three officers of an all round
naval ability, one engineer and one
, constructor.
THE LADIES OF ATLANTA
Will Present the Third Regiment
With Two Beautiful Flags-
Tbe Third regiment now likes only
65 men of having the required number
of 1,251, and Colonel Candler expects
to secure these within the next three
days.
The regiment will be mustered in
Saturday, and turned over to tbe Uni
ted States subject to the orders of the
wet department.
Governor Atkinson will, bo down
Saturday to inspect the troops and
spend the day with the officers in
camp
The ladies of Atlanta will, also, at
that time present the legiment with
two |»autiful flags. The Ladies* Relief
Association will donate tbe United
States colors and tbe Army and Navy
League will furnish the regimental
flag. Governor Atkinson will proba-
JMy make the presentatibn speech, and
quite a crowd from Atlanta will crime
down to wit ness the exercises.
Rev. Louie Warren was elected
chaplain of tbe regiment yesterday. He
is a non of Rev. E. W. Warren, of Ma
con, and has been serving as a private
in the Macon Volunteers, First Geor
gia regiment, since hie company was
mustered into service. Bev. Mr. War
ren is a brilliant apeaker, a thorough
ly consecrated Christian, and is in ev
ery -yay worthy of the promotion he
has received.
Company K, was mustered in yes
terday afternoon, making the ninth
company to take the oath.
It was rumored throughout camp
and the oity yesterday that the Third
regiment would be ordered to Jack
sonville within tbe next few days. The
rumor, however, was without founds*
tion, as Colonel Candler said he knew
nothing of any such arrangements
and had certainly received no such
orders.
Lieutenant Colonel Berner and
Major Marcus W. Beck will be mus
tered In tomorrow and Colonel Cand
ler will take the oath by Saturday, if
not earlier.
The band was organized yesterday
with a full corps, and will furuish
music in future at dress parade and
guard mount.
Tbe men are drilling bard and while
they are frequently overcome with
heat and drop out of ranks, they never
murmer or utter a word of complaint.
A True Tale-
It costs the Royal Baking Powder
Company something like $500,000 an
nually for advertising. Some one
once suggested to tbe company that it
disoonntinue advertising one year, tbe
baking powder was so well known and
advertised, and p’.ace that amount,
$500,000, in tbe profits.
The answer was that it would un
doubtedly cost the company three
tiu)gs that amount to get the product
in its original channel again
This is a pretty good pointer to those
busines men who emagine they are
making a great saving when they dis
continue as4ora $6 a month adver
tisement a few months in dull season.

Taylor, at bis home three miles north

the marriage, on account of her youth
fulness, but after the ceremony was
performed tbe happy couple received
the forgiveness of parents and con
gratulations of friends.

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING. AUGUBT 16. 1898.
AGAIN nr JAH-
Dr-J. A . Edwards Was Arrested Sat
urday Night.
Dr J. A. Edwards, who so mysteri
ously escaped from Spalding's new jail
a few weeks since, was arrested Satur
day night at QJem, Ga., where bo
boarded the 8. G. and N. A. train to
go to Carrollton.
Edwards bad shaved off hie long
flowing beard, but his disguise proved
futile, and he wal recognised by Billie
Henderson, one of tbe crew on tbs
train, who took charge of Edwards and
turned him over to the authorities at
Carrollton.
Sheriff Morris was notified of the ar
rest and left Sunday for Carrollton, re
turning with bis prisoner last rrigbt.
The gay and festive doctor is want*
ed in this county for forgery, hot skip
ped out for Alabama before lx was ar
rested, leaving his wife and children
at Pomona,
While in Alabama he married a wo
man of questionable character, and
lived with her for several months. He
returned to Griffin a few weeks since,
when be was- arrested and placed in
jail, from which he escaped after an
imprisonment of less than twenty four
hours.
Before Edwards extricates himself
from his present difficulties, be will
probably learn that it is tbe best poli
cy to let every man sign his ownrname
to papers, and that wedlocks and pad
locks are not to be trifled with.
INMEMORIAM.
Vaughn, Ga., August 18.
Again our community is draped in sor.
row I Only a short interval until- the
Angel of Death again comes and claims
one of our best, sweetest and most accom
plished young ladies, Miss Lois Freeman.
A little while since she was in perfect
health, with the glow and vigor of youth
stamped upon her ruddy cheeks, her joy
ful heart buoyant and full of bright prom
ises—the pride of her home, the evangel of
goodness and purity to the community ;
but, alas I what sadness hath time
wrought I Her smiling face is hid behind
the curtain of death, her mortal tongue is
silenced forever, but she, like Mary of old,
“hath chosen that good fhith,” bade final
farewell to this wicked world and made a
peaceful and joyous entrance through the
pearly portals into that land of bliss and
blessedness, on whose streets continually
throng an angellic host, who, “with songs
on their lips and with harps in their
hands,” praise God forevermore.
Whereas, We, the members of New Sa
lem Sabbath school, are so bereaved, be it
resolved,
First, That we have lost one of our best
and most faithful members.
Second, That her sad death is a remind
er to us of the uncertainty of life, and that
consequently we will strive the more dili
gently to serve our blessed Lord.
Third, That we express our heartfelt
sympathy to the bereaved family, in token
of which we tender them a copy of these
resolutions, and that a copy be filed on the
Sunday school record.

To Cleanse The System
Effectually yet gently, when costive or
bilious, or when the blood is impure or
sluggish, to permanently overcome habi
tual constipation, to awaken the kidneys
and liver to a healthy activity, without
Irritating or weakning them, to dispel
headaches, colds, or fevers, use Syrup o
Figs.
President McKinley, who knows
tbe trouble and expense involved in
sending troops nearly 8,000 miles
from our Pacific coast, very wisely in
corporated no claim or demand for
these 1,400 islands, with their 7,000,*
000 savages and hybrid inhabitants.
He made no mistake in this. Tbe
Senate and the country will sustain
him.—New York World.
ANNOUNCEMENT.
I hereby announce myself a candidate

judgment is to the good of tbe greatest
