BIG FORTUNE
Phosphate Workers Dig Up
• $30,000 in Gold.
TOUND NEAR AUGUSTA.
One Negro Disappears With
The Treasure.
Augusta, June 29.—A chest
of gold coin has been found at
the phosphate works at Pon Pon,
S. (’., which is estimated to have
contained about thirty thousand
dollars. Mr. Charles S. Heard,
superintendent of the works, has
the chest, but the gold was spir
ited away by the finders before
Mr. Heard or any of the mana
gers could get sight of it.
Recently t vo negro men were
digging for phosphate and un
earthed the metal chest. They
agreed to slia r e it, and one of
them undertook to carry the
go d while the other watched
that no one should catch them.
The party who took it off subse
quently told his partner that he
had put it in a bag and had
buried it in the river, and that
he-wasnow unable to find it.
The second party does not be
lieve it, and at once reported
the matter to Mr. Heard ami
brought the chest from which
the gold had been taken.
This negro says that he was
betrayed by the first negro, who
has the gold in a safe place some
where. He told Mr. Heard that
that the other negro had put the
C ’in in a wate»’ pail, and that it
almost filled it. The coins were
as large as a silver dollar, and
were all gold. The pail contain,
ing the money was so heavy that
the sturdy negro could hardly
lift it.
The man who found it was
arrested and told the authorities
the same tale about the money
being in the river, but this is
not believed.
'There are about 1200 negroes
Working on the phosphate works
and they are very much agitated
over the find. Mr. Heard esti
mates the coin as worth about
thirty thousand dollars. He ar
rived at the estimate by the size
of the chest and the information
got from the man who failed to
get his share.
A fTACK SPANISH COAST.
»
Gazette Says Americans can
Make war Their Own Way.
London, June 29. —The St.
James Gazette, commenting up
on the prospect of the American
forces attacking the coast of
Spain, says :
“The reception of the news
evidences a change in public
opinion which*, at the commence
me r t of the war, thought Eu
rope should notify the Unied
States the war must be confined
to American waters.
It is now recognized that th
Amjricaus are fully e titled to
make war in their own way,and
they are indeed driven to retali
ate upon Spain in this manner,
owing to the tactics which Spain
has chosen to pursue.”
For that tired feeling you
.must enrich and purify your
blood. Hood’s Sarsaparilla is the
medicine you need.
ROME GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE, 29. 1898.
DEAR SANTIAGO.
■Shafter Occupies Position
flbandmd by Enemy.
'VERY Lb'-TL’’ SICKNESS.
Descent Upon Santiago Now
Expected Daily.
Off Siboney, June 29.—Ad
jutant General, Washington: All
is progressing well We occupied
today an advanced position
abandoned by the enemy yester
day on the Sevilla and Santiago
road, west of the San Juan river,
within three miles of Santiago,
and from which it can be plainly
seen. Shafter,
General Commanding.
Washington, June 29.—The
war department late yesterday
afternoon posted the following:
“Baiquiri, June 27, via Playa
del Este, June 28—lion. Secre
tary of War, Washington : The
Yale arrived this morning all
right. Troops now disembarking.
Your son, who has been at the
I front, assingned to duty on the
staff of Gen. Duffield.
Shafter,
“Major-General.”
It was very late in the day
I when the first dispatch within
twod iy-> came to the war depart
ment from Gen. Shafter, but the
news was regarded as so good
that there was no disposition to
complain. It disclosed a very
I satisfactory rate of progress on
the part of Gen. Shafter towards
the town of Santiago itself, and
apparently he has gained all
this ground and has come within
j three miles of Santiago without
suffering any losses since the
skirmish of Friday last. Alto
gether, the performance is re
garded as very gratifying by de
p irtment officials here.
POSITION OF THE ARMERICAN
ARMY.
As near as can be gathered
from the brief dispatch, the
American army is now at the
fork one branch of which leads
to Santia ;o and the other to
Morro Castle, at the entrance to
the harbor. Gen. Shafter is thus
tree to move in either direction.
With the 1,000 men who rein
forced him yesterday on the
Yale and the additional brigade
that will reach him ‘omorrow,
it may be possible to make even
more rapid progress in the ad
vance upon Santiago, as these
can be relied upon to relieve the
main body of troops from the
necessity of keeping open tin
line of communication between
Shafter and his base at Daiquiri
Meanwhile, further reinforc -
ments are being prepared and
dispatched as rapidly as the best
energies of the department can
direct, and it is believed that
several thousand men sail* d
from Tampa yesterday directly
for.Santiago.
It probably will be necessary
t o shell out the forces defending
the wire fences erected by the
Spaniards. This will involve a
larger use of field artillery than
would be required in ordinary
warfare. The officials here have
been forehanded as to these de
details, and in, fact have provid
ed for she use of barbed wire by
our forces.
