They Go to the Philippines to Assist In
Executive Duties.
A Washington dispatch states that
General Merritt has taken with him to
the Philippines q large staff of civilians,
who are expected TO assist in the exec.
utive duties connected with he form
Of government he is authorized by the
president to establish. The scope Of
his orders is an executive secret, known
only TO the president and very few
other officials Of the government.
The fact leaked out Thursday that
General Merritt took with him about
thirty or thirty.five civilians who are
experts in the several branches Of
executive government.
The customs service Is represented
by several men who are familiar with
all that pertains to the collection Of
revenues and the customs branch OF
the service: There are also several
expert accountants, several interna-
tional corporation lawyers, together
with staff Of typewriters and clerical
assistants, prepared to aid in the tran
saction of the governmental business

TENNESSEE DEMOCRATS PLEASED.

The State Convention Accomplished Its
Labors HarmoniousIy.
A Chattanooga special says: The
state democratic convention Wednes-
day and the harmony and tranquility
with which it accomplished its labors
is still a matter Of felicitation to the
departing delegates. The convention,
beside the nomination Of statehouse
officers, had for consideration several
important issues, and thus additional
interest was lent its deliberations.
1t did not take the delegates long to
get down to hard work and permanent
organization was soon completed by
the election Of Hon. Alfred s. Dead
erick, Of Washington county, as per-
manent chairman, and other prominent
democrats in subordinate positions.
The convention heard several speeches
and then committee on platform re-
ported. The following plank declar-
ing for free silver, is strong enough to
leave no doubt of the financial senti-
ments of the delegates:
I'VE hereby indorse the enunciation
Of principles contained in the demo-
cratic platform adopted by the national
democratic convention at Chicago in
1896. it being true expression of the
democratic creed. We especially reaf-
firm our demand for the restitution of
the money of the constitution by q law
providing for the free and unlimited
coinage Of gold and silver at ratio of
16 to l, without waiting for the con-
sent Of any other nation. )"
Much interest was taken in the con-
vention for another reason curiosity

railroad commission recently created
by the legislature, This measure
passed the body only after . hard

A QUESTION OF CHEESE.
Congressman Allen Eniivens House BY

Congressman Allen Eniivens House by
Roasting Grosveaor.
A Washington dispatch says: The
house Wednesday incidentally enjoyed
speech from Mr.. Allen, OF Missis-
sippi, which precipitated political
episode in which Mr.. Grosvenor. re-
publican, of Ohio, and Mr.. Bailey,
democrat, of Texas, figured as princi
pals.
The discussion was preeipitated by
the bill to increase the daily army ra-
tion by the addition tri-weekly of one
quarter Of a pound Of full cream
American cheese and two ounces of
canned corn. The bill'was attacked as
presented not in response to the de-
mand of the army, but of the cheese-
makers.

As sources Of energy it has been
proposed TO use the peet boys Of
North Germany, and what is now
practically waste land is expected to
become available for manufacturing
on large scale. The bcgs of the
valley Of the Ems, for example, cover
some $4,000 square miles, and the
proposition has been made 70 erect in
this section q 10.0O0-horse-power
electric plant which would consume
annually some 200, 900 tons Of peat,
equivalent TO the amount yielded BY
200 acres. One acre Of bog averaging
ten feet in thickness contains about
1000 tons Of dried peat, and the
amount produced on 40 square miles
would afford as much heating power
as the 1000. 900 OF more tons Of coal
annually mined in Germany. The
proposed plan contemplstes using the
energy on canal and in the manufac.
ture Of calcium carbide.

Greedy, chief signal officer, received a
dispatch Thursday night from Lieuten.
ant Colonel Allen, chief signal officer,
stating that telegraph and telephone
station had been established at a
point within two miles OF the city of
Santiago. This information is Of the
highest Importance to the officials OF
the war department. as il insures to
them practically direct communication
with General Shafter.
The information was significant,
too, as IL showed that the American
troops were in rifle shot Of Santiago.
The telegraph station being. Of course,
within the American lines, its location
conclusively indicates that the forces
of General Shafter have established
themselves in advance Of the telegraph
station.
An Associated Press dispatch from

succeeded Wednesday night in con.
Meeting Siboney by cable with Guam

spsniards Declare They win Fight to the
Death In Defending Manila.
Dispatches received at Madrid from
Manila, under date Of June "a, say the
Spaniards are determined to fight to
the death, and that there is every rea-
son to believe that when the American
troops arrive there will be desperate

German warship will prevent the bonn
bardment of that place, and it is al
legged that Prince Henry Of Prussia is
on his way there on board warship.

PUBLIC OPINION CHANGED.

1t IL Admitted That United States Can En-

The st. James GA zette (London) in
its issue of Tuesday afternoon, COM
menting upon the prospect of the
American forces attacking the coast Of
Spain, says:
"The reception Of the news eviden-
ces change in public opinion which
at the commencement Of the war,
thought Europe should notify the
United States that the war must be
confined to American waters. 1t is
now recognized that the Americans
are fully entitled to make war in their
own way. ''' 49, ~

When this war broke out our most
powerful varship, the Oregon, with
her destructive twelve and thirteen
inch guns and her impregnable sides,
happened to be at San Francisco.
There was nothing for her to do there.
She was sorely needed on the Atlantic
side Of the continent, where there was
work in plenty in prospect. In order
to get here she had to steam 10, 600
miles, occupying ffty-seven days in
the passage and consuming coal
enough to supply feet for any or
binary course. Had there been q
Nicaraguan or any other isthmian
canal available abe would have had to
steam only three or feur thousand
miles, and she would have reached her
point Of duty about ak weeks earlier
than she did. 1t is easy to conceive
war conditions in which that difference
of six weeks would determine She fate
tof nations. The wonder story OF the
Oregon's voyage is far less wonder,
thinks the New York World, than is
The long neglect Of this great nation TO
provide for its own defense by con-
struoting canal that would bring its
eastern and western coasts 10000
miles and six weeks nearer TO each
other. 1t would cost hundred mil
lions possibly two hundred millions
to construct such canal. But what
D bagatelle is that compared with the
evil that might easily fall upon us for
lack Of this shorter waterway between
our two coastsl One result Of the
war should be the construction Of .
ship-canal across this isthmus, to be
owned or controlled by the United
States. -,

II is gratifying to learn that the
men of Admiral Dewey's feet are en-
titled under the law TO 500 each as
prize money. For their gallant con-
duct they have already received medals
and their country's praise, but. while
these were assuredly acceptable, it ia
highly desirable that they should also
receive more substantial reward.

THE DIXIE MAKES A BIC HAUL
AT CAvAELA.
CORRALED BOATS IN A BUNCH.


A dispatch Of Wednesday from Hs-
vana says: The commander Of the
Spanish gunboat Ardilla reports that
while reconnoitering on Juno 26th at
Coloma, Punta Cortes and other places
at Coyaola, he was informed that q
strange steamer with one smokestsck,
apparently . warship Of 5000 tons,
was in sight The stranger soou
caught sight Of the Ardilla and pur.
sued her. The gunboat kept within
the blue sea and succeeded in keeping
ont of range OF her pursuer. To the
southeastward the stranger, which
turned out to be an American warship,
appeared TO be in company with other
vessels.
The Adrilla made q reconnaissance
on the following day, June 9th, and
discovered that the American ship had
captured the sloops Nemesis, OF Bata-
BANJO, province OF Havana; hmisda
and Msnuelito, Of Coloma, province
Of Pinar del Rio, and the pilot boats
Luz and Jacinto. 1t is claimed that
when the sloops were sighted the
American ship hoisted the Spanish
flag, believing he had to do with .
Spanish warship. The pilot also ap-
preached the American vessel and did
not find out his mistake until blank
shot and afterwards loaded shells we're
fred at the pilot boat
The shells, it is exclaimed, eip loded
near her. The American ship by this
time seemed to have driven the Span
ish craft into . bunch, including the
Luz, Jacinto and Amistad, Nemesis
and Manuelita. The latter, il is fur.
Their alleged, let go their anchors and
were abandoned by their crews. who
made for the shore. going in the direc.
ton Of Punta de Piedrss, on the south
western extremity Of Pinar del Rio,
between the Isle OF Pines and the
mainland. The commander Of the
Nemesia, with one Of his crew, re.
manned on board his sloop and was
captured and taken on board the
American ship. Later he was set at
liberty after having been questioned
in regard to the Spanish feet and gen.
eral situation Of affairs.
The American ship is described as
carrying one forward gun, one. ct her
stern and four guns on each side. She
is said to have been commanded by q
"frigate capain" and TO have ''carried
about six hundred men with blue
pants and red fringe" who said they
were going to Cuba and afterwards to
Key West.
1t Was the Yankee.
A Washington dispatch says. The
American auxiliary cruiser referred to
in the dispatches from Havana was I'M.
doubtedly the Yankee, manned by the
naval reserves, which arrived ct Key
West from Cienfuegos on Monday last.
She then reported that of the Isle Of
Pines, southwest coast OF Cuba, she
captured, burned and destroyed five
Spanish small craft loaded with fish
and that she also captured two prison.
ers, who were released.
The auxiliary cruiser, which was
formerly the Morgan line steamer Ell
Norte, also reported having been en-.
gagged with Spanish gunboat, un-
the Ardilla, referred to in
the dispatch from Havana.

President Issues
Proclamation.
HONELL'S FLEET ASSIGNED.
Vessels Selected For the Block.
ade Have Been Reinforced
BY a Number Of the
New Torpedo Boats.

The president has issued procla-
nation extending the blockade Of
Cuba from the southern coast Of Cape
Frances to Cape Cruz, inclusive, and
also blockading San Juan, Porto Rico.
The proclamation is az follows:
Whereas, for the reasons set forth
In my proclamation Of April az, 1893,
Q blockade Of ports on the northern
coast Of Cuba from Cardenas to Bahia
Honda, inclusive, and of the port Of
Cienfuegos on the south coast Of Cuba
was declared to have been instituted,
and
''Whereas, 10 has become desirable
10 extend the blockade TO other south.
srn ports:
SHOW, therefore, I, William McKin-
ley, president Of the United States, do
hereby declare and proclaim that, in
addition to the blockade of the ports
specified in my proclamation Of April
%, 1898, the United States Of America
has instituted and will maint lin an
effective blockade Of all the ports on
tha south coast OF Cuba from Cape
Frances to Cape Cruz, inclusive, and
also OF the port Of San Juan in the
island Of Porto Rico.
'Neus ral vessels lying in any OF the
ports to which the blockade Is BY the
present proclamation extended, will
be allowed thirty days to issue there
from with cargo.
"WILLIAM M'KINLEY.
president Of the United States Of
America, June 81, 1898.
''By the President, J. B. Moore,
Acting Secretary of State"
The vessels for the additional block
ade service will be supplied almost
entirely from the patrol feet which,
under Commodore Howell, has been
guarding the north Atlantic coast
from Maine TO South Carolina. This
service has been abandoned because
the only available Spanish warships
are with Admiral Camara, thousands
Of miles away from the nearest point
on the Atlantic coast.
The vessels are already ca their way
southwark, having been reinforced by
several ofthe new torpedo boats, which
are particularly adapted because Of
their light draft for blockade duty in
the shallow water lying behind the
Isle Of Pines and Cuba.
The blockade Of San Juan was in
reality already in effect, when the
proclamation was issued having benin.
iniated by Captain Sigsbee some days
ago when he turned back from that
port British steamer laden with sup
plies. The difficulty of maintaining
the blockade at the port, in the face OF
the Spanish forts and three Spanish
war vessels in the harbor, would be
considerable had not Captain Sigsbee,
by disabling the only formidable one
Of these vessels, made the task easier.
