GOVERNOR TANNER
 HERE YESTERDAY Illinois Chief Executive Was With the Steel Magnates. COMPLIMENTS BIRMINGHAM The Most Modern Southern Ciy That He Has Vsiled-TaIks of His Visit and
 Expresses Some
 Opinions.

Governor John R. Tanner of Illinois was a distinguished visitor to Birmingham yes- terday.
 Governor Tanner was a member of the Illinois party of capitalists who were here inyestiga ting the advantages of the Bir- mingham district for the locat ton of large steel wire mill. Whether he is stock holder vita the other big magnates was not stated.
 After his trip over the district and drive Governor Tanner "I have been shown every self as thoroughly fatigued, but was quite ready to talk to- the newspaper men.
 '.I have had most enjoyable day said overnor Tanner. 'I have been shown every possible courtesy by the people of Birming- ham. I have put in the day sightseeing among the great industrial and natural ad- vantages which Birmingham seems to pos- sess in very high degree. l was both surprised and delighted with what l saw.
 eve don't find the weather any more dis agreeable down here than up in Illinois, continued the governor, as kerchief dried the great drops of precipitation from his forehead Ut is warmer and more sultry up there perhaps than down here-certain- Iy more sultry. We have suffered no con siderable inconvenience from heat to-day.
 Modern City
 Birmingham is a beautiful city-the most modern of any southern city that have visited. I was never here before. but would like to come again when l can see more of this wonderfully rich section. We have nothing like it up in the great state of Illinois. We have coal to supply the world for 1000 years, but not the ore
 Glad to See Diversified Crops
 q am gratified to see the crops looking so we'll I am also glad to see that the south is now making diversified crops, ln- stead of depending on a single crop Of cot ton, as of yore. l have seen down here fine fields of corn, oats, wheat and cotton Some corn I observe is equal to the best of my state. the very heart of the corn district of the United States.
 "I don't much like to discuss the war. I am just now on my way almost to the front but guess we will not get too close to Morro's guns while on fishing trip of Pensacola. But I expect an early settle ment of the war and then a great revival of business all over this country.
 Governor Tanner expressed regret that his stay here had been so short, but he was a guest on this trip and was not con sulting his own pleasures. He anticipated a delightful trip to Pensacola.

THE CAMP CHATTERBOX

For the past few nights the men have had very little rest. A dead calm has prevailed on the bay and the museuitos have come in from the everglades with their capacities and bills whetted for soldier blood. The sea breeze is absolutely the only protection against these pests. With a strong wind they are driven back to the woods. It may sound ineredulous. but keep up a sufficient resistance to keep them off with a palm leaf fan. The other night the officers of the First battalion gave up the idea of sleeping, built a big bon fire and sat by it until morning.
 r. w. Glover sergeant of one of the First Alabama companies, has received his commission as lieutenant in one of the negro companies of the Third regiment Untn the time of his appontmeS: ne was clerk in the brigade adjutants office.

HE IS NO DEWEY OR SAMPSON
But the Sailor Boy Does the Duty That Is Set
 for Him.

From the Boston Globe.
 A letter from Robert H. Vaughn, blue jacket on board the flagship New York, off Santiago, to his aunt in Boston, Miss Aloysa Walsh, was received a few days ago. It gives a good idea of the senti- ments animating the men of the navy, and is marked throughout with a grim humor and pleasantly, denoting the spirit of true and resolute courage. There is not word of grumblng in the communication from date to signature. The reference to Ad- mlral Sampson which 1t contains is one of affectionate loyalty. The letter is dated June 12, and in part says:
 q believe God is with this country in this war; for when we were bombarding Puerto Rico there were shells flying and dropping all around us, and only one struck the ship. We had one man killed and seven wounded in that engagement, and, considering the way the shots fell around us, I think we came out of it very luckily.
 we landed about 700 marines at place about forty miles below here, on the coast, called Guantanamo. They drove the Span iards out, took possession of the place, and the last reports we had from them said they were running things on the Ameri- can plan.
 Just keep your eye on,the marines, first to land on Cuban soil, first to plant the American flag on the island of Cuba, for you will hear from them again before the war is over It makes no difference. to them where they have to fight, on land or sea they are at home in both places.
 .'You want to know what part I take in battle. We'll am no Dewey or Sampson, but I count one just the same. I am on what yoh call six-pound rapid-fire gun. It isn't the largest gun we have( but if 1t ever strikes Spaniard you can make up your mind there Is one more good one. They are like the Indian, they are good when they are dead
 "Well, have been in four engagements alredy and we seem to have a regular walkover on our side, and if the rest of the war is not any worse than it has been in the past will think that war is not such a terrible thing after all.
 "We ars not doing much at present but watching for old Cervera, and if he comes out of that harbor we will give him warm reception. We will make him see stars and probably some stripes, and show the Dagoes what the Yankee pigs are made of, and let him see we have another Dewey on this side of the water whose name is Sampson.
