THE MACON TELEGRAPH PARTLY CLOUDY TODAY AND TOMORROW* PROBABLY LOCAL THUNDERSTORMS | LIGHT EAST TO SOUTHERLY WINDS. ESTABLISHED IN 1SJS6. MACON, &A„ TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 23, 1901 DAILY—97.00 A YEAR HARPING ON HISTORY OF H1SPAN04MERICAN WAR Commandant Wainwright of Naval Academy Replies to Inquiry of Navy Department—^Admiral Sampson Airs His Views and Declares Schley’s Reports Were Partly Incorrect===Wants Matter Investigated. WASHINGTON, July 22.—Command er Wainwright, commandant of the United States Naval Academy, under date of July 20, has made the follow ing rej^ly to the navy department’s in- , quiry concerning the use of Maclay’s history: "Having seen so much In the papers in regard to the third volume of Ma clay’s Naval History, and having re ceived also an official letter from you on the subject, I think right to put you in possession of a full knowledge of the case as existing at the Naval Academy. "There has been no proposition to adopt this third volume as a text-book, either from the head of the department of English, the academic board or any person within my knowledge. "There Is no intention here of re quiring the cadets to study the his tory of such recent events as In the Spanlsh-American war, and their tlm* Is too limited to require them to study a full volume on any one war. "Maclay’s Naval History was adopted with the consent of the department In 1899, and when the English course hero was extended beyond its former limits. "This intention not to adopt the third volume of Maclay’s history Is en tirely apart from any consideration of its Value as a history of the war, or of the knowledge of the facts and criti cisms contained therein. I do not know of a copy of the third volumo at the Naval Academy.’* Secretary Long this afternoon Indi cated to the newspapor men who call ed upon him that he did not desire to discuss further the revival of tho SampsonrSchley controversy. He said, however, that he had received a letter from Mr. Maclay in which the author of the Nuyal History of the United States agr'eod to his (the secretary’s) statement that only the third chapter of hls book (that relating to mobiliza tion) had been placed in the secretary’s hands before the publication of hls work. SAMPSON AIRS HIS VIEWS. BOSTON, July 22.—-Referring to Ma clay’s Naval History, which has been criticised by Secretary Long, on ac count of statements considered objec tionable, Rear Admiral Sampson., in an interview published in tho Transcript today said "In one way, possibly, I was respon- rlble for the PtatemenUi made in the history. I was commander-in-chief of the squadron and was responsible po far as reading the proofs goes.. If tho historian has taken facta from my of ficial reports to tho navy department that is* all well and good. I stand by first reports and official communica tions. "I would welcome an investigation of this whole matter by congress or by tho navy department,’* ho said, "but I see no hope of Us being taken up. "Schley’s first statements regarding the battle of Santiago,’’ continued tho admiral, "were moderately correct. Tin- interviews given out some time afterward were not at all correct. They were entirely different from his first accounts, and were written In a different spirit, I think. An interview purporting to have come from Admiral Schley, published, I believe, on Jan uary 6, was entirely incorrect. Soon after the statement appeared In print lie came aboard my ship and told me that he had been incorrectly quoted. The reporter to whom the Interview was granted was a friend of mine and he afterward told me that ho had pub- llphed Bchley’a words practically as they had been spoken.” NEW YORK, July 22.—Admiral Schley was seen tonight at Great Neck, on Long Island, where he is at present stopping. IIo declared he would have nothing to say at the present time, no matter what was said by others indors ing Maclay’s history. He added that later, when others had said all they wanted to, he might issue a statement, but that this was uncertain. COMMUNICATION SENT BY STATE DEPARTMENT TO CHARGE ITAL IAN EMBASSY—GOVERNOR MISSIS SIPPI EXERTING EVERY EFFORT TO FIND GUILTY PARTIES. WASHINGTON, July 22.—The acting secretary of state today sent a com munication to Mr. Carignani, the charge of the Italian embassy, expres sing tho regrot of this government at the lynching of two Italians recently in Mississippi, and Informing him that efforts were making to bring the per petrators to justice. Attention was di rected to the fact that It had ntrt been established officially that tho men lynched were Italian subjects. Tho samo Information as that con tained in the note to the Iralldn charge was forwarded today to Mr. Iddings, the oharge of tho United States em bassy at Romo, with Instructions to lay it before the Italian foreign office. Governor Longlno of Mississippi has advised the Italian consul at Vicksburg of tho stops ha has taken to apprunend the guilty persons. The letter details the active steps tho governor has taken to apprehend those guilty of tho recent outrage at Erwin, Miss., in which two Italians were Killed and another was wounded. Tho gov ernor, who has been to the scene of ihc affair, Is apprehensive of considerable difficulty In !ocat : ng the guilty parties, as ho states that the crime was com mitted it in .l'ik’ilt by musk-d men, who departed quickly and quietly, leav ing no traco of their movements. JACKSON, Miss., July 22.—Governor Longlno left tonight for Greenville, where he will consult with the criminal judge touching tho assassination of tho Italians at Erwin. It is expected that a special term of court will be called at once. E. Calvall, the Italian consul :it N’f.v nrl.-iiiM. L >"iLl to >■ • nt Erwin, making nn Investigation.

RADICAL ECONOMICAL REFORMS IN THE ARMY OF OCCUPATION TO RE MADE—REDUCTION OF 00 PER CENT. IS ESTIMATED 11Y CHAF FEE AND COIIUIN. MANILA, July 22.—Tho conference between Adjt.-Gen. Corbin and Gen. Chaffee, recently held here, will prob ably result in radical economical and administrative reforms in the army of occupation. It is estimated that the total cost of maintaining the American army in the Philippines can be reduced by 60 per cent, in the course of one year. Tho principal change will be the re duction of the present forco to between twenty and thirty thousand men. Tho abolishment of the present army dis tricts is contemplated, and three brig ades, with permanent headquarters at Manila, Dagupan and Iloilo or Cebu will be Instituted In their stead. The troops will be concentrated at tho three points selected, abandoning all minor points. Three changes Will re sult in an enormous saving in the transportation of supplies and the pay ing of a rental for barracks for the soldiers. At present, in most towns, tho troops are quartered In churches, convents and public and private build ings, for the use of which considerable rentals are paid. In tho majority of other cases, whore tho troops do not occupy public buildings, it is believed rental should be paid for the soldiers’ quarters if their occupancy Is con tinued, since these regions arc pacified and their inhabitants have sworn alle giance to tho United States. Adjt.-Gen. Corbin and Gen. Chaffee have decided upon the construction of barracks at the pumping station (about six miles from Manila and the source of the city’s water supply) to accom modate three regiments of infantry, one of cavalry and eight batteries of artillery as well as a general commis sary and quartermaster’s storehouse, to coat 1100,000. The orection of tho latter building will reduce expenses by $20,000 a month, being the rentals paid for the commissary and quartermaster’s store houses in Manila alone. An electric railroad, connecting the docks on tho “'aslg river and tho n^w storehouse will bo constructed. Gens. Corbin and Chaffee have also decided upon one single general mili tary hospital to replace the seven mili tary hospitals in Manila and vicinity; one of the latter bulling! will bo converted into a public hospital. The reduction of the great fleet of government launches and small govern ment steamers hay already begun. u Insular constabulary Is now be ing organized. It will he maintained by the insular government and is ex pected to be arqply able to preservo peace and enforce the law. The telegraph system throughout the archipelago, established by the signal corps, has been taken over by the civil government. MRS. KRUGER BURIED AT PRETORIA Her nnslm Very Depressed, Work.

The attorney- general says that inasmuch as the comptrol!^ of the treasury has given his decision on the subject it Is a mat ter for him (the comptroller )alone, and he, therefore, cannot give a ded al.m as requested.

They Are Ilrternilnpil to Hold Their Convention Despite llrynu'a Letter of Advice, CLEVELAND, O., July 22.—George A. Groot, who has been most active in inaugurating the movement to hold nn Independent Democratic state conven tion, owing to the failure of the regu lar convention to stand by the Kansan City platform, said today that neither ho nor any one el*e Interested in the matter has been discouraged by Mr. Brynn's letter hearing on the subject. Mr. Oroot declared that as a matter of fact Mr. Bryan did not express disap proval of the movement. “At any rate,” said Mr. Groot, ”w< shall go right nlong with our arrange ments for the no-called bolt convention to be hold at Columbus on July 31. We nre receiving a very largo number of letters every day from Democrats all over the state expressing sympathy with the movement. As a result we look for a largely attended convention. A preliminary meeting will be held here within a day or two to select temporary officers for tho convention.” TELEGRAPHERS ARRESTED. PITTSBURG, Ptu, July 22.—The ex pected did not happen today In tho Amalgamated strike. Neither of the looked-for programs for Wellsville or McKeesport was carried out. At Wellsville the Importation of men failed to materialize and at McKees port the attempt to resume at the ewees-Wood tube plojjt was not made.

From tho other important point, Dun- cansvQle, conflicting reports are re ceived, and tho result of tho quiet struggle going on between tho Ameri can Steel Hoop Co. and the Amalga mated Association is still uncertain, with tho company’s chances practical ly bettor for winning in tho end. Late this afternoon tho Amalgamat ed Association Issued its first strike bulletin from tho general offices. In tho most prominent part of tho bulletin 1b printed the warning words: "Do not drink, especially if tho trust tries to break tho strike by importing non-union men. Don't believe anyone who says the mills will bo closed for ever or taken out of tho community If you don’t go to work.” Further on arc the words: •’There wore not enough men in tho country to run the mills before tho strike, so nil you need to do to win the strlko la don't worry. Enjoy your summer shut-down: it menns moro work next winter. That is tho timo for mill work anyhow.” Thero haa been no chnnge In tho ar bitration or mediation movementa, bo far as the officials of the association are aware. The hope Is still general among these officials, however, that a way will be found to bring ubout a settlement of the difficulties President Shaffer has never yet do dared that there was no possibility of concessions on the part of the Anial- k unated Association. When asked Ills opinion on this matter today, ho re plied that he was unable to answer tho question.
