WAR VESSELS
FOR MANILA.
Several JTore Battleships
Ordered to the East.
DEWEY RECOMMENDED IT.
Admiral Advised President McKinley
That Situation In Philippines De¬
manded Aggressive Action.
A Washington special says: The
president, Wednesday directed the
immediate dispatch to the Philippines
of a number of vessels of the navy, in¬
cluding the cruiser Brooklyn and gun¬
boats Marietta and Machias. The ac¬
tion is the result of Admiral Dewey’s
interview, in which he went over the
Philippine situation with the presi¬
dent.
The orders given are in line with
the expressed determination of the
president to furnish the army and
navy every resource for stamping out
the Philippine insurrection at the
earliest possible time.
At Admiral Dewey’s extended in¬
terview with the president the former
went into the Philippine situation at
great length, explaining carefully the
existing condition of affairs and his
views of the outlook, concluding with
an earnest recommendation that the
Brooklyn and some other vessels be
sent at onee to the Philippines.
The re-enforcement of the present
fleet of the Asiatic squadron he urged
as necessary and said their dispatch
should be directed as early as possible.
The president immediately communi¬
cated with the navy department and
instructed the secretary of the navy to
issue an order carrying out the ad¬
miral’s reoommendation and to see
that they be got in readiness at once.
The Marietta and Machias, besides the
Brooklyn, will be designated by the
navy department along with several
other vessels which have not yet been
selected.
The Brooklyn is now with the other
vessels of the North Atlantic squadron
off Tompkinsville, Staten Island. The
Machias and the Marietta are at pres¬
ent on waiting orders. These re-en-
forcemonts will and considerable
strength to the Asiatic squadron aud
the administration believes their pres¬
ence will have a material effect in ex¬
pediting the end of the hostilities.
The Brooklyn is an armored cruiser
of the first rating, carrying twenty
main battery guns and having a total
displacement of 9,215 tons, and is so
well thought of by Rear Admiral
Schley that he desired that she be as¬
signed as his flagship in the new
south Atlantic squadron.
The Marietta is a composite gun¬
boat of 1,000 tons displacement and
with a main battery equipment of six
guns.
The Machias, with a displacement of
1,177 tons* carries a battery of eight
guns. Their commanders are ail vet¬
erans of long experience in the ser¬
vice. The Brooklyn is commanded by
Captain Theodore F. Jewell, who has
seen fourteen years of sea service and
much more than that on shore sta-
tions; the Machias by Lieutenant Com-
mander Leavitt C. Logan, with fifteen
years of sea service, and the Marietta
by Lieutenant Commander Edward
H. Gheen, whose record shows seven-
teen years of sea service.
The Brooklyn’s formidable equip¬
ment will make her of invaluable gen¬
eral service, while the Marietta and
the Machias are expectod to be of
much usefulness in the numerous
shallow waters about the archipelago
where larger craft cannot go.
It is not known how soon these
vessels can be ready, but their orders
are fo get away as early as possible,
and no delay is anticipated. Their
commanders will report to the depart¬
ment when they are ready to proceed
and oil arriving at Manila will report
without delay to the admiral com¬
manding the Asiatio station, for or¬
ders.
GILLETTE ANNULS CONTRACT.
Atlantic Contracting Company Or¬
dered to Stop Work.
At Savannah, Ga., Tuesday morning
Captain 0. E. Gillette, United States
engineer in charge of the Savannah
district, annulled the contract of the
Atiantio Contracting Company for
building a breakwater in Tybee roads.
This is the only contract the company
had in the district.
The contract was annulled by order
of the chief of engineers. This is one
result of the imprisonment of Captain
O. M. Carter. The contract was en ¬
tered into October 8, 1896, by Captain
Carter as engineer in charge.
PREACHER IMPRISONED.

Polk county, on the Georgia line, was
sentenced to two months’ imprison¬
ment and fined $200 for running a
moonshine distillery, by Judge C. D.
Clark, of the United States court.
COMMISSIONER OUSI ED.
South Carolina State hoard of Con¬
trol Has .Sensation.
A special from Columbia, S.C., says:
A bomb could not have caused more
of a sensation, had it dropped in the
dispensary board of control meeting
Tuesday, than did the report of the
special commitleo of that board ap¬
pointed a month ago to investigate the
management of the institution, which
is under the direct charge of Commis¬
sioner J. B. Douthit. Mr. Douthit
was elected by the legislature to be a
member of the state board of control
and was then elected state liquor com¬
missioner.
Ten days ago tho chairman of the
board, on verbal reports made to him
by the investigating committee, re¬
moved Bookkeeper Outse. At Tues¬
day’s meeting the board did not hesi¬
tate five minutes in removing Commis¬
sioner Douthit. The commissioner
was found short $1,155 in the contra¬
band department—that is goods to
that amount have been disposed of by
him on his aooount. But the sensa¬
tional feature is what the committee
describes as the perpetration of “a
fraud the people of South Carolina ”
on
By order of the commissioner, whisky
of the common “one X” brand was
bottled off by the thousand of gallons
and labeled “three X” and “four X,”
the charges on the consumer being
correspondingly increased. Also case
goods of the manufacture of one house
and inferior, were labeled with the
name aud guarantee of another firm
of national reputation. This was done
in the case of several firms that sup¬
plied “case goods” to the dispensary,
the dispensary doing the bottling.
WINDS TOO LIGHT.
The Initial International Yacht Race
Was Called Off.
A New York dispatch says: The
biggest crowd of sightseers and yachts¬
men who ever sailed down to Sandy
Hook to witness the attempt of a
foreign mug-hunter to wrest from
America the yachting supremacy of
the world, returned to the city Tues¬
day night crestfallen and disappointed.
The initial race between the Columbia
and Shamrock had been called off.
The winds had proved too light and
shifty, and the first of the interna¬
tional series of 1889 between the great¬
est racing machines ever produced by
England and America degenerated in¬
to a drifting match, and had to be
declared off because neither could
reach the line in the time allotted by
the rules. At the time the English
vessel was leading.
JUDGE TARVIN SPEAKS.
Democratic Carnival at Dallas, Texas,
Brought to a Close.
The second and last day of the Dem¬
ocratic oarnival in conjunction with
the Texa3 state fair, at Dallas, was the
most successful from point of num¬
bers of any political gathering in the
his ory of the state.
When speaking began at the fair

mated that 50,000 people were pres¬
ent.
There was a surging mass of people

gan to arrive. Mr. Bryan and a party
of friends arrived at 10:25 a. m., and
he was accorded a magnificent ova¬

the Hon. James P. Tarvin, of Ken¬
tucky, president of the Ohio Valley
League of Bimetallic Clubs, made au

decision of the Anglo-Venezuelan
boundary arbitration commisseion,
rendered Tuesday, some of Great
Britain’s claims as to the interior aud
on the coast are disallowed. Her
frontier will start at the Waini river.
The award was unanimous. It is
considered in the nature of a com¬
promise rather than as favoring Ven¬
ezuela. It was read 12:05 p. m.
The decision was read M. D. F.

Insurgent* Are Keeping Hajor Price’s
Regiment Very Busy.
A Manila speoial says: The Fourth
infantry regiment, Major Price com-
lffanding, has had a series of encoun¬
ter* with the insurgents about Imus
during the past few days. The na¬
tives were led, it is supposed, by a
former mayor of Imus, and made a
general attack upon the American
lines from Imus to Bacoor. A cap¬
tain and a ooppral of the Amerioan

The two days Democratic carnival
opened at Dallas, Texas, Monday, the
event of the morning being the arrival
of William Jennings Bryan. The city
was packed with Democrats, repre¬
senting forty states, Oklahoma and
Indian Territory. There were fully

Louis, and thousands of lesser lights
aud leaders
Meetings were arranged for the
morning, afternoon and evening, each
with an attraction of national leaders,
There was no end of enthusiasm and
each sneaker was made to feel that tho
Democratic cause had fallen on willing
ears.
Among those whose appearance at-
traoted the most attention were Mr.
Bryan ex-Governor Stone and Con-
gressman Champ Clark, of Missouri,
Congressman William Sulzer, of New
York In’order and Judge Tarvin, of Kentucky,
to accommodate the im-
mense crowds the place of speaking
. changed from the auditorium to
the race track grand stand. Mr. Bry-
an arrived at the grounds shortly after
10 o’clock and was accorded a great
ovation. Among those who surround-
ed him in the speaker’s stand were
Hon. O. H. P. Belmont, of New York;
Governor Sayers, of Texas; ex-Sena-
tor Reagan, and all of the Texas con-
gressional delegation. The next im-
portant arrival was Governor Stone,
of Missouri, who was received with
cheers.
Chairman George Garden intro-
duced and he Governor addressed Stone his auditors at 11:15j in a. . pait m.
as follows:
“I believe the Chicago platform of
1896 will be, and should be, reaffirm-
ed. This should be done both as a
matter of principle and politics. When
I say it should be done as a matter of
politics l I mean that when the subject
considered from that level, which
is the lowest level from which it
should bo considered, I believe the
Ln party would lose more than it would
by refraining from its position.
If our party should lower its colors
and abandon the fight for bimetallism,
we might gain or lose, and over and
above all considerations of temporary
expediency, rises this qi.e.-ition. NVlia.
is right? e Is the free use ot both gold
and silver as primary money best for -
the whole people? Or, will the general
welfare be best promoted by the use
of gold alcWie? welfare
“I do not ask whether the
of certain special interests will be
best promoted by the one policy or
the other, but whether, all things
considered, not for a day, or under
special conditions, but for all the
years and tinder all conditions, the
general welfare will be best promoted
by the one. policy or the other—by
monometalism or bimetallism.
“We cannot fight with great hope
of certain victory without money and
organization. Every Democrat in the
United States should do his part.
Every one can do something. should Every
Democrat in America send hie
mite to our national committee at
Chicago and then do his utmost at
home to effect a thorough party organ¬
ization. If this should be done I
would have no doubt of our sucoess in
1900.”
Governor 3toue’s speech was fre¬
quently applauded. Ths next orator
was Governor Jones, of Arkansas.
At the oonolusiol! of Governor Jones’
address the crowd went frantic in their
demand for Mr. Bryan. Mr. Bryan
advanced, and in a short speech said
that, while his time for speaking had
not yet arrived, he could not allow an
opportunity to escape without extend-
ing his thanks for this magnificent re¬
ception .
HAY CONTEST WILL.

following: The statement is made on

Plant, widow of the founder of the
Plant system, of railroads and steam¬
boats, that legal proceedings will be
instituted soon to set aside the pro-
visions of Mr. Plant’s will and obtain

the dead millionaire’s estate.
NO ADVANCE
BY THE BOERS
Report That Move Was Made to Bor¬
der Was Erroneous.
WAR PEELING IS INTENSE
English Reinforcements Con¬
tinue to Arrive In Transvaal.
A London special of Thursday was
to the effect that nothing important
developed as to tho Transvaal situation
during the day. The Daily Telegraph’s
dispatch announcing that the Boers had
invaded Natal and seized LaingH Nek,
now seems to bo without foundation.
The government has received noth¬
ing to justify the report, although
such a move on the part of the Boers
would naturally cause little surprise.
The British position in Natal was
considerably strengthened by the ar¬
rival Thursday of Indian transports
with reinforcements of about 2,500
infantry, cavalry and artillery, all of
which will be promptly sent to the
front by train, and with their arrival
at Glencovo and Ladysmith, the Brit¬
ish advanced camps and lines of com¬
munication will be practically safe¬
guarded against the risk of a success¬
ful dash across the frontier by the
Boers.
The military authorities apparently
no longer fear the massing of the
Boers along the border, and in fact it
has been provided that the Boers shall
not make a sudden invasion into the
territory. The Natal authorities are
rather pleased with this, because they
argue the tension of waiting will tell
severely on the Boers discipline; and,
moreover, they will soon exhaust the
little forage there is near the border
anf l be compelled to fall back on their
base, because, in view of the defective
commissariat, they are unwilling to
advance in Natal leaving behind them
a forageless veldt,

Finding of Attorney General In the
Carter Case Given Out.
^ oplmon of Attorney Genera i
Griggs in the case of Captain Oberiin
M. Carter, of the army, upon which
the president approves the finding of
the courtmariial, was made public at
Washington Thursday.
After ^missing certain of the minor
charges , as unproven, the attorney gen-
eral took up me more serious questions
mvolved,first considering he objec ion
* ha ‘ the chargee upon which Captain
Carter f°,md g™»y
f uous - He Ba f 9 that, unlike the or-

“It is not necessary,” he says, “to
q; 8cngg w jj e ther this practice is wise,
or whether it . is prejudicial in the
rights of the accused. It appears to
be established by long continued prac¬
tice, and, so far as I am able on in¬
vestigation to discover, without pre¬
vious challenge.”
But even if this objection were well
founded, the attorney general says, he
does'not think the accused should be
allowed to avail himself of the objec¬
tion now, because he proceeded to
trial without objection to this alleged
misjoinder, and permitted ihe court to
enter on the investigation of all of the
different specifications, and himself
brought forward his defense as to
each of them. The objection should
have been promptly taken to be made
available.
THE GEORGIA STATE FAIR.
All Space Taken and the Project Will
Be a Big Success.
A dispatch from Atlanta aays: Ev¬
ery available inch of space in the ex¬
hibit halls of the state fair has been
taken by exhibitors. Eight great
buildings are overrun with exhibits
and still the applications ooine in for

GIFT OF THE NATION.
Pf 332 SltatiOfl Address Made By Secretary
Long—Admiral Shows Emotion.
Ceremony Was Inspiring.
A Washing bon special says: The
culmination of Admiral Dowey’s tri-
umphal home-ooming was reached
Tuesday in the shadow of the national
capitol, when he received from the
hands of the president the magnificent
jeweled sword voted him by congress
in commemoration of the victory of
Manila. This’was
the official provocation for
the ceremony. But mere official sane-
tion could never have thrown into the 1
demonstration the fervor of enthusiasm j
meted out to the great admiral as he j
appeared before the vast audienoe j
composed not only of all the highest j
officials in the land, but of spectators j
drawn from every quarter of the I
United States. |
The battle of Manila bay was not
forgotten, but it might be said to have j
been relegated almost to second place !
in the desire to do honor to the man j
who had proven himself as great after j
victorv as before, and who had shown j
in the long and trying months that I
followed his naval triumph the qnali- j
ties of a statesman and a wise admin- 1
ietrator as well as those of the flag¬ I
ship leader of a victorious fleet. w Q _ j
liancing those qualities wag that 0 f j
manly modesty, displayed in the quiet j
dignity with whioh he mot the occa- 1
sion.
This trait‘of Dewey’s character was
demonstrated from the moment he |
reached the stand side by side with
the president. He paused at this point
for a moment, unwilling, apparently, !
to take the place that had been prs- j
pared for him on the right of the pres- !
President McKinly grasped the sit- j
nation in an instant, and taking the
great sea captain bv 'in the arm, placed
him by gentle force the chair that
had been intended for him.
For Dewev it was a trying as well :
as a triumphal day. It has been given
to few officers in the naval history of
the country to sit before a crowd of
thousands while the chief of the naval
establishment dilated upon their ex- i
ploits, and then to stand before the
same crowd to receive at the hands of
the president a sword prepared for
him at the behest of the representa- !
fives of the whole people.
The strain upon Admiral Dewey j
reached almost to the breaking point.
None but those nearest to him could !
see how he labored to repress his feel- I
lugs during the address of Secretary
Long, but when he arose to receive
the sword from the hands of the pres-
ident no one could mistake the flash
of the white gloved hand as it rose to
dash awav the tears before the admiral
came to the attitude of attention be-
fore his chief
When it became Dewey’s turn to
reply hie voice failed him, and he
made the effort twice before his lips
would respond. When he did succeed
his tones were olear and steady, but
so low that only those nearest him
could hear.
One of the most remarkable features
of the eventful day was the ovation to
Rear Admiral Schley on the return of
the party from the capitol to the
white house. His carriage was several
numbers behind that of the president
and Admiral Dewey, and he reoeived
an ovation that could scarcely be
ranked below that accorded to the
admiral himself.
The tumult grew as the carriage
prooeeded down the avenue, and the
crowd surged around it till the horses ;
were brought to a foot pace. Finally
a company of the high school cadets
came to the rescue and formed about
tke carriage in a hollow square. Thus
proteoted and flanked by a force of
police, the carriage reached the white ! I
house with a long gap between it and
the next preceding.
Reaohing the capitol two committee- 1
men preceded the president and Ad-
miral Dewey. The waiting crowd un-
covered and the president and the
admiral promptly did the same as they
passed rapidly into the lobby of the 1
senate. Dewey was followed by his
war captains and the full cabinet acted
an an esoort. The president with his
cabinet was shown into the president’*
room, while Admiral Dewey with his
captains oooupied the room of the vice
president. There was a wait of half
an hour, then the party took up their
march to the stand in the same order
. as they had entered the capitol. The
impressive presentation ceremony then
took plaoe.

Admiral Dewey was particularly
touched ail along the line by the num¬
ber of children who turned out to see
him. They formed a very large part
of the cl . 0 wd i n every town, and
wherever there was a sehoolhouse the
children had evidently been given a

Maryland .... Republ.csns ... „ Protest Against
Assignment of Admiral,
Governor Lowndes, Senator Wel-
lington, Mayor Maltster, of Baltimore,
and General Felix Angus, called upon
President McKinley Monday and for-
mally protested against the assignment
of Rear Admiral Schley to oommand
the South Atlantic station on the
ground that it was not commensurate
with his dignity and the services he
had rendered during the Spanish war.
The protest was made voluntarily
and without Admiral Sohley’s knowl-
edge. The president listened atten¬
tively to what the Maryland republi¬
can leaders had to saj . but gave no in¬
dication of what he wi nid do.
