HAS CUBA DISAPPEARED?
A Startling Report that tlie Island is
Lost.
Special to the Capitol.
Savannas, Ga., September 9.—lt is re
ported here this morning that three steamships
have arrived in the bay. Their captAins state that
they have failed to find the island of Cuba. Not
a vestige ot the place remains. The report has
created considerable excitement and many dis
believe it. Those who think the island has dis
appeared, attribute its sinking to tbe recent
earthquake. The report is being thoroughly
investigated by parties interested and the truth
will be known to-morrow.
Tbe Yacht Race.
Associated Press to Capitol.
Sandy Hook, S:3O a. m.—There was not the
slightest ray of sunshine this morning. Since
5 o’clock a heavy mist has hung over both the
sea and land. The highlands were enveloped in
a thick fog from early morning that made them
almost invisible.
By 6 o’clock a fine drizzle set in which turned
into a full storm before another hour had gone
by.
The wind is from the rain quarter, and the
prospects for a good race are excellent. There
is a choppy sea running and the surf is break
ing upon the beach. All night long the fog
horn has been screeching, but by.B o’clock tbe
fog began to lift and the light ship will soon be
visible.
S:4O a. m.—An immense fleet in Horse-Sboe
this morning, most of the squadron that had
been at anchor off Bay Ridge since tbe night of
the first race having come down ‘during yester
day afternoon and evening. Shortly alter day
break there was unusual activity on board tbe
yachts in Cove. On tbe sailing ciaft the main
sails were set, whil tbe thick black smoke that
rolled from the stacks from steam yachts show
ed that they were preparing for the work of the
day. All of the great throng of people that bad
filled the verandas of the hotels along tbe Nar
rows on the occasion of the first race, those who
bad stationed themselves along Long
Island or Jersey shores, or had
perched upon the walls and breastworks
of the two big forts at the entrance of the upper
bay appeared to have been lifted in one great
mass and set down upon the beach at Sandy
Hook, on Jersey hills. The beach between
Ocean Grove and Navesink H'gblands, as far as
the eye could reach, was black with people, not
only from tbe seaside resorts did they come,
but from lhe inland towns, where the contest
has awakened intense interest.
The piazzas of all hotels near the sea were
occupied by spectators, who came down on the
early trains and boats.
Crows and seagulls that are wont to flutter
about the beach down here seemed conscious
that something of unusual importance was go
ing on. They were restless, and their shrill
cries were evidently intended to show their dis
approval of the invasion of their domain by so
many human beings.
9 A. M. —Before 9 o’clock clouds broke away
in tbe east and clearing up began. Tbe wind
continued from east of northeast, and appeared
to freshen. At 9 o’clock the signal service gave
the velocity of tbe wind at 12 miles an hour.
The fog-horn was hushed and tbe mist began
to move. It was wet work on board of the sail
ing vessels and oil-skins were in great demand.
Vessels coming in from seaward carried light
sails aloft. With wind in present direction
the yachts will probably run down to eastward.
Sandy Hook, September 9, 10:25 a. m.—The
Galatea passed the Hook in tow at 10:18; the
Mayflower passed out in tow at 10:22, a fleet of
steam and sailing yachts, steamboats and tugs
following them. Wind blowing 20 miles an
hour from the east; weather cloudy and hazy;
Scotland light ship barely visible. There is a
moderate sea.
11:03 a. m.—The wind is from the east and
blows 21 miles an hour. Weather foggy and
cloudy, with light rain. It will be impossible
to see tbe start.
11:25 a. m.—The weather is clearing. Can
see tbe yachts playing around Scotland light
ship.
11:35 a. m.—The fog has again shut out Scot
land lightship. The yachts must have started.
Mavfloweris on the starboard lack, standing
Northeast and one mile and a half from
lightship. Galatea leads Mayflower
about one hundred yards, but Mayflower
is well to windward. They point for Rockaway
under main sail, gaff top sa ; l, slay sail and jib,
wind east, 24 miles and.foggy.
’ 11:50 a. m.—Tbe Mayflower is near whistling
buoy outside lhe bar,po ; nt well up and seems to
be overhauling tbe Galatea.
11:53 A. M. —Galatea went about off buoy 1
outside bar, and crossed Mayflower’s bow; tbe
latter went about 20 seconds later. Both are
now on port tack.
12 m. —At the last s'ght of yachts in tbe fog
after they tacked, the Mayflower seemed to be
closing the gap between her and tbe cutler.
Wind 22 miles east. Foggy.

ATLANTA, GEORGIA. THURSDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBERS, 1886.
WOMAN’S NOBLE WORK.
A NEW ORGANIZATION BY ATT AIN-
Tl’S WOMEN.
A Co-ODsratiYe Factory the On’growtli of the
Knistiis of Labor.
Atlanta will have a new co-operative estab
lishment at an early day.
It will be one organized by the women of the
city to make clothing and do all other kind of
work that women usually do.
This is a good move and one in the direction for
the protection of the women who have to work
for a living by sewing, etc., and it will doubtless
be endorsed by the leading people of the city.
THK KNIGHTS OF LABOR WOMEN.
This morning the news was told a Capitol
reporter and he began to seek some one who
could tell more about it.
Mr. Robert Miller,on Decatur street, is about
at the head ot it, only as an adviser, however,
and one who can put the ladies out in the right
path.
A few days ago some of the ladies who make
clothing gathered for tbe purpose of planning a
way by which they could control the price of
making garments, and also make the business
pay better.
The plans of several were submitted and well
considered, and now it is a decided iact that
they will soon organize.
OBJECT OF THE WOMEN.
The object of the women in organizing them
selves in a body is to obtain the patronage of the
clothing merchants and to make the sewing bus
iness pay belter. They Will also manufacture
clothing for themselves and sell to the mer
chants. No doubt the clothiers will heartily
endorse the movement and support it the best
they can.
Tbe reporter talked to several of the dry
goods merchants and asked their opinion, and
each of them Link it will prove valuable, not
only to tbe women, but to the merchant who
patronizes them.
WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY.
•ne merchant told the reporter that he bad met
with a great deal of trouble in getting bis
clolhiug made promptly, and when some women
on the outskirts of the city carried off clothing
to make they would not return them for weeks,
pnd he was glad that such a thing was being
thought of bv tbe women, as he thought it
would be a help to the merchant in getting
work done promptly He, with several others,
heartily endorsed the movement, and they truly
hope it will soon reach tbe place of business.
THE WHOLESALE HOUSES.
Messrs. Moore, Marsh & Co., also Messrs. M.
C. & J. F. Kiser & Co., have agreed to support
the organization, and with such firms as these
to back tbe women they are not afraid to ven
ture out.
Mr. Miller will help them get started and ob
ta:n for them a regular place to carry cn bu*«b
ness. In a few days it will be in thorough run
ning order.
Atlanta has women that possess much push
and energy as do the men and they are not
backward in entering a cause that will prove of
mutuil good to Atlanta’s welfare.
They will get machines and rent a house and
begin at an early day.
WHAT THEY HAVE IN VIEW.
The ladies who will join this organization can
give employment to manv a young lady who is
out of work and thereby help in another way.
Those who first suggested tbe co-operative
women’s clothing manufactory are true Knights
of Labor women, and those who will join will be
tbe same.
The Knights of Labor organizations in tbe
city and elsewhere will support them and the
new organization will prosper.
Atlanta will be glad to welcome this enter
prise, as one of a new character, that will prove
very beneficial.
