General Ames has sent the following
cable message to Washington:
"The Hon. Secretary of the Navy:
This army is incapable because of sick
ness from marching anywhere, except
to the transports. If it is ever to re-
turn to the United States it must do
80 at once"
To correspondent of the Associated
Press General Ames said:
eff l had the power would put the
men on the transports at once and ship
them north without further orders. I
am confident such action would ulti-
mately be approved. A full list of the
sick men would mean a copy of the
roster of every company here"
WASHINGTON, August 4.-Upon be-
ing informed of the formal request
made by the commanding generals of
the American army at Santiago to have
their men removed Immediately to the
United States, the war department
officials stated that this request has
been anticipated, and that the war de-
partment has been directing the best
part of its energies to the return of
General Skaters force to the United
States. 1t has already provided for
their reception an ideal camp at Mon
tauk Point, L. J., and orders were sent
forward yesterday to begin the home
ward movement by embarking at San
tiago five calvalry regiments of Shaf-
ter's force, including Roosevelt's
Rough Riders. 1t was not deemed
possible nor desirable to bring them
all here at one time, not only from the
lack of transports but for medical rea-
sons, the physicians representing that
a sudden change in climate would pro-
baby kill many of the soldiers who
have not passed the convalescent
stage.

IN DANGER OF FEVER.

moved North.

Officers Want the Santiago Army Re-
moved North.
Theodore Roosevelt, few days ago
wrote General Shafter letter in which
he urged the removal of the Santiago
army to the United States. This was
followed shortly afterward by joint
letter, also to General Shafter, and
signed by all the general officers in
the army. The joint letter, or "round
robin," reads as follows:
awe, the undersigned officers, COM
manding the various brigades, divis-
ions, etc., of the army of occupation
in Cuba, are of the unanimous opinion
that this army should be at once taken
out of the island of Cuba and sent to
some point on the northern seacoast of
the United States; that it can be done
without danger to the people of the
United States that yellow fever in the
army at present is not epidemic; that
there are only few sporadic cases,
but that the army is disabled by mala-
rial fever to the extent that its eff
cheney is destroyed and that it is in a
condition to be practically destroyed
by an epidemic of yellow fever, which
is sure to come in the near future.
awe know from the reports of COM
petent officers and from personal OBJ
servations that the army is unable to
move into the interior and that there
are no facilities for such move if at
tempted, and that it could not be at
tempted till too late. Moreover, the
best medical authorities of the island
say that with our present equipment
we could not live in the interior dur
ing the rainy season without loss from
malarial fever, which is almost as
deadly as yellow fever.
"This army must be moved at once
or perish. AS the army can be safely
moved now, the persons responsible
for preventing such move will be res
ponsible for the unnecessary loss of
many thousands of lives.
"Our opinions are the result of care
full personal observation, and they
are also based on the unanimous opin-
ion of our medical officers with the
army, who understand the situation
absolutely"
Major NJ. M. Wood, the chief sur
geon of the First division, said: "The
army must be moved north" and

HERO OF THE MERRIMAC.
Hobson Was Accorded Grand Ovation Ir
Atlanta.

Hobson Was Accorded Grand Ovation In
Atlanta.
Richmond Pearson Hobson has had
at least two warm receptions in his
life. One was under the belching fire
of Moro the other was in the midst
of Atlanta's hospitality Wednesday.
He, of Merrimac fame, was the toast
of the whole town. From the time he
arrived in the morning until he de-
parted at night, he received one con-
tinuous ovation from young and old,
big and little, patrician and plebian.
The reception at the governors man
sion, on Peachtree street Wednesday
night to the young lieutenant, was one
of the most remarkable demonstrations
ever witnessed in Atlanta. Fully 5000
persons called to see Hobson and his
mother. Everybody was invited, and
it seemed as if everybody went. The
lieutenant was so completely exhausted
shaking 80 many hands and speaking
word of appreciation to so many
people that he was forced to retire to
a room and snatch few moments rest
before the reception was over. No
more enthusiastic welcome or greeting
has ever been extended to any visitor
to the Gate City.
Mr.. Hobson's lecture at the Woman's
Club rooms in the Grand building, just
before the reception at the mansion,
was one of the most thoroughly enjoy
able dlscourses heard in Atlanta in
sometime. With that wonderful mod
esty that has characterized his whole
career, he never once mentioned him
self in his graphic description of the
trying ordeals through which he has
just passed. He told how the Merri-
mac went to the bottom midst that
hurricane of shot and shell in Santiago
harbor, and it was "those men" and
not himself. On the other hand, he
claimed the sinking of the Merrimac
was no illustrious deed, but that it was
merely an evidence that the men of
the American navy stand ready and
willing to answer any call, irrespective
of danger or condition, that their
country might make. The speech was
most eloquent; not in its huency or in
its high-soaring phrases, but in its sim
plicity. To say that he was most en-
Enthusiastically received, and. that the
boy reached the hearts of everyone of
his hearers, does not half express it.
In company with his mother he left
the city at midnight for New York, to
preside over a big meeting of the
Soldiers and Sailors Family Relief
association on Thursday night.

great many people with pleasure,
as the farmers of this section are noted

this year was a success in every way.
Eatables were in, abundance, and fruit
and melons to throw away. Two
large pots of fish and vegetable soup
and several tubs of lemonade, were
made for the picnic. AS there were
only two candidates present, Messrs. j.
w. Ardrey and S. H. Epps were called
upon for speeches. MIR. J. A. Tate
was also called upon, as he is can
didate but he failed to respond.
A number of our people enjoyed

- The terms of the contract for pub
lie advertising in 1896 included such
advertising as there might be to do at
the rate of Is cents per hundred words.
Whether there should be much or lit
tie made no difference. The contrac-
tor was to be paid only for what he
was required to do. The fact that at
ter the contract was made it developed
that the report of the treasurer was
not to print, had no bearing whatever
as to the integrity of the contract so
far as it affected either party. All OF
the work that was done under the
contract amounted to S22.l1. All OF
the advertising that was done during
the year, by contract and voluntarily,
including the treasurer's report,
amounted, at the contract rate, to
S54.32. There was no legitimate excuse
even upon which to make the bill
larger. The amount that was paid
for this work was S1O0.36!. By the
terms of the contract, there is an
"overcharge" of s7S.254. By the
terms of the excuse, there is an over
charge of S46.O4%. Whether the man
who received the money or the super
visor that paid it, somebody ought to
make restitution. and save the "people
money!"

Dishonest Trick of a Constable.

A case, reeking with rottenness, con.
sumed the attention of the state board
of control, Thursday afternoon, says
a Columbia dispatch to the GreenVille
News: Constable Gardner was re-
ported to the board for swindling q
prisoner out of S25. 1t was alleged
that while he was a passenger on the
Laurens train recently he persuaded,
after much effort and entreaty, Ne
gro passenger 10 sell him drink out
of a private bottle for Is cents and then
arrested the Negro and carried him to
Newberry. While there he agreed to
drop the case for S25, which the Negro
paid. Commissioner Vance was ln'
formed of the matter and reported the
constable to the board. After discus.
sing the matter all the afternoon and
concluding that only the governor had
authority over such officers, the board
decided to report the matter to him
for prosecution.
