ADMIRAL SAMPSON
 SENDS A REPORT

Washington, July 18.-The navy depart ment today posted the following mem- oranda from Admiral Sampson:
 Santiago, June 2.-The landing of the army was completed yesterday afternoon, all having been disembarked, with the ad- dition of 2.9sS of General Garcia's force. Large quantities of stores have also been diSembarked and base established. Gen eral Shafter has been most kind in his recognition of the aid afforded by the fleet. All of our boats, with several hundred off, cers and men, assisted during the work.
 I desire to make mention of the ability displayed by Captain Goodrich and the officers detailed to assist him and of the zeal and cheerfulness with which the men discharged their work.
 The Yale arrived with 1900 troops and they are now being debarked al Siboney. The vessels of this squadron are now pa trolling coast line of nearly 2,00O miles, line greater in extent than patrolled by 600 ships during the civil war and in many respects offering greater difficulties.

NEGRO LYNCHED
For Brutally Assaulting White Lady in
 Virginia.

Charlottesville, Va, July 12.-The negro John Henry James, who crinlinally as- caulted Miss Julia Hotoph on the public road near her home yesterday was lynched today two miles west of the city by an armed posse of 200 men. It was made evident last night about 9 o'clock that he was the man who made the assault and the excitement ran to such a pitch that the authorities slipped the prisoner out of the back way of the jail and sent him to Staunton on special train for safe keeping. A special grand jury had been summoned to try the case this morning at 10:3O o'clock and the court was in session when the news came that the train which bore the prisoner had been stopped by 200 men near Woods Crossing and the prisoner taken off and hanged and his body riddled with bullets.

DISCUSSING FUTURE
 OF PHILIPPINES

London, July 13.-The Berlin correspond cnt of the Times says:
 The German press is actively discussing the future of the Philippines. The difil- culties arising out of the present state of things, of which it is asserted the Ameri- cans hardly take sufficient account, may soon assume alarming proportons-such, indeed, as may finally necessitate the in- tervention of the powers whose commer- cial interests in the islands are affected. The Kreuz Zeitung points out that Amer ican annexation. is by no means necessary, and would involve a complete change in American naval and military systems, but it adds:
 "It is evident that the Monroe doctrine has been dropped and new policy of inn perialism begun. The stars and stripes will shortly wave over Manila
 It is beginning to be universally &C., knowledged here that Spain can now hon. orably sue for peace with every prospect of acceptance"

 General Young commanded a brigade be- fore the Santiago fighting, but is now a r-general-promoted for gallant con- duct.
 'I really am not fit to talk,' he said 1T am almost collapsed. It is the fever. I saw only one days fighting and did not really know there had been a second battle until it was over. The fever took me and was delrious while the boys were maxi g that gallant fight on the second day. I ex- pect to be all right soon."

NOTHING TO CONFIRM
 REPORT OF CAPTURE

Madrid, July 15.-10 a. m.-On leaving the cabinet council tonight Lieutenant General Correa, minister of war; said there was nothing in the official dispatches to con firm rumors that Santiago de Cuba had capitulated to the Americans.
 Captain Aunon, minister of marine, con- firmed the report that Commodore Wat sons squadron is now route for Spain. He added that Admiral Camara's fleet would find a secure port.
 Duke de Rio, minister of foreign affairs. reiterated the statement that no negotia- tions for peace had taken place. He said that Gneral Blanco had again wired Gen eral Toral at Santiago to resist the Amer jeans.

Washington, July 13.--The success at tending the attempt to blockade the entire coast of Cuba is a source of qualification to the navy.

 Brown and myself were put in a carriage

 Fish and AlIegators
 q spent yesterday the Glorious Fourth, fishing in the everglades, the great swamps which cover about third of the area of the entire state. This is a wierd, wild country, marshy and filthy, yet in it the boys stand up to their waist by the hour fishing. Artificer Jones Nelson and my self had little row boat which we had
 to carry about a quarter of a mile over
 land from where the Miami river dries up,
 to the lake which is the beginning of the
 everglades. We had a beautiful little spin down the river for four miles, before
 we came to our fishing grounds. Fish were in abundance, there are millions right here in these swamps that bite as fast as you urop your me; the only Dalt we use IS a worm we grab out of the stalk of the pond lllies which cover the entire swamp. One of our boats, there being four in the party around near us, caught over 200 and the boys killed three alligators of which
 there are an abundance we'll croco-
 diles. The fish, however, are not eaten
 here, as they are like so much cotton on
 account of feeding on such stuff as can
 be gotten out of the swamps and almost
 stagnant water. Jones Nelson says he
 hangs his clothes on a hickory limb, but
 don't go near the water"

AS SHOWN BY COMPARISON

The recent publication by the Atlanta Constitution of figures on the cost Of pub lie utilities in several of the important cities of the country has led to some in- teresting comparison, in which Birming- ham makes a most favorable showing.
 The question was raised by the Consti- tuition that Atlanta, on basis of 1000 population, was paying much more for police, fire protection and city lighting than other places of equal and comparative size, giving the following figures as a basis for it's argument
 The city of Atlanta, with 1000 popula- tion, paid

 Mayor Evans, who is a student or nut nfcinal government and whose views on these important questions have attracted n,rcb attention. was making comparison win the above figures when an Age-Herala reporter dropped in upon him yestefu"g afternoon.
 "Anything new today?" asked the re- norter. as he seated himself and prepared to take notes on a Big Water works Story' n Not a thing" replied the mayor In his usual courteous manner. Il am Just looking over some figures giving the cost of police, fire protection and city lighting, and find by comparing with the figures from my annual report for 1897 that B1r- mingham is pFacticing economy to a much greater extent than some of her sister cities.
