NAVAL RESERVES NOT NEEDED.
GEORGIA BOYS HAVING HARD
WORK To GET ACTIVE DUTY.

Congressman BrantIey Informed by
Commodore Erben That 1t Is Inn
possible TO Muster in the Savannah
and Brunswick Boys Owing to the
Over-CrOwded Condition of the Re
ceiving Ships.
Washington, July 7.-Georgia's naval mi
litia seems to have hard time getting into
active service. For some time the officers
in command have been trying to find places
for their men who have been anxious to
enlist, but at every turn they have met
with disappointment.
Congre ssman Brantley, who has been &c
tive in behalf of the boys of Brunswick
and Savannah has just received a report
from Commodore Erben, to whom his re
quests were submitted, in which the COM
modore states that owing to the over
crowded condition of receiving ships and
stations it is impossible to muster in the
Georgia militia.
In view of this it will be difficult to hold
the naval militia together.
Lieut.. Commander Akin, the ranking Of
hcer. reports that some have already gone
into the army and that unless soon mus
tered into the service where they belong,
many others viii follow.
Judge Adamson secured this morning the
pardon of Holloway, the Carroll county
young man who was a few days ago SEN
fenced to nine months in the penitentiary
for carrying concealed weapons. The Geor-
gian had pistols and brass knuckles
on him. Judge kimbaH, who
sentenced him is very extreme on the sub
iect of pistol toting and when he learned
that an effort was being made to secure
Halloway's pardon he sent a letter of
protest, but Judge Adamson took the mat.
ter direct to the attorney general and to-
day secured Halloway's release.
Senator Clay and Congressman Living
ston saw Gen. Ward of the war depart
ment to-day and secured the discharge
of A. H. Anderson, the young son Of
Judge Jim Anderson of Atlanta, who en-
listed under age
They Also secured the discharge of Rob
ert Sanders of Cobb county. II has be-
come extremely difficult to secure these
discharges. An order has been issued &c
the effect that age is not sufficient eX-
cuse when a boy is over eighteen and
under twenty-one, but there must be some
better reason than his youth. The de-
partment has been bothered with many
cases where discharge is asked beca Ise
of the volunteer enlslng under twenty
one and the officials have got tired con
sidering such cases.
The nomination of Joe Hamilton as
postmaster at Rome will be promptly con
ffrmed To hold it up would only neces
state a vacation appointment and there
is no disposition on the part of Postnas
ter Nandiver or his friends to fight con
frmation of Mr. Hamilton, whose ap
pointment is thoroughly acceptable to th'
business element of Rome.

JOY IN HoBsoN's HOME.
News of the HERDS Exchange Sent
to His Parents.


Greensboro, Ala, July Ut was nearly
10 O'Clock this morning when the diminu-
tive lad who carries messages for the tel
eeraph company ran up the walk into the
house of James Hobson, bearing an As
ISOLATED Press telegram.
Mr.. Hobson threw down his morning
paper, and opening the envelope hastily
read its contents.
His face flushed with pleasure, and he
stepped quickly to another part of the
house, calling Mrs. Hobson's name as he
went.
She was soon found, and in a twinkling
the family was in possession of the in
formation that their brave son. Richmond
who sailed the Merrimac into the harbor
Of Santiago. had been exchanged, and
was now in the hands of his friends. The
family were overjoyed, and for moment
tears came to the eyes of the aged mother
Mr.. Hobson then inscribed this telegram
to the Associated Press: Accept warm
est thanks for your kind message. 1t has
lifted from our minds heavy weight Of
anxiety"
The little town was soon informed of the
good news and business was suspended
while the tidings were discussed and spec
ulation engaged IN as to how soon Green's

CoRB1N TO BE A MAJOR GENERAL
senate Passes Bill Providing for the
Promotion.


Promotion.
Washington, July Late this afternoon
a bill comforting on Adjt. Gen. Corbin the
rank, pay and allowances of a major gen.
eral was passed by the Senate.
When unanimous consent was asked by
Mr.. Sewel of New Jersey for consideration
of the bill, Mr.. Pettus, Dem, of Alabama,
objected.
However, by a vote, the Senate decided
to consider the bill.
Mr. Pettus sharply criticised the meas
ure and charged that Gen. Corbin had
been rapidly promoted by reason of po-
litical favoritism. This charge brought
several senator's to their feet, among
whom were Messrs. Bate, Pasco and Ba-
con, Democrats, all of whom testified to
Gen. Corbin's distinguished ability and
special fitness for the position he occupies
MIR. Sewell, Mr.. Hale and Mr.. Foraker
paid high tributes to Gen. Corbin, warmly
euloglzing him for the splendid record he
has made, both on the field of battle and
in the position he now holds.
There was no division on the vote by
which the bill was passed.
the Senate considered unobjected bills on
the general calendar, passing large
number of them.
A bill making appropriations to pay
session employees of the House of Repre-
sentatives and for other purposes was
passed with the following amendment:
ITO enable the Secretary of War in his
discretion, to cause to be transported to
their homes, the remains of officers ana
soldiers who die at military camps or
who are killed in action, or who die in
the field in places outside the limits of
the United States. 100000
Mr.. Allen called up House resolution
providing for the adjournment of Con-
gress at 2 o'clock tomorrow and had it
referred to the committee on appropria-
lions.
Mr.. Allen and Mr.. Hawley thought 1t
impossible that Congress could dispose of
necessary business and adjourn to-mor-
row.
At 44O the Senate went in executive ses-
sion, and at 6:12 adjourned.

tiago de Cuba it was with the intention
to make for Cienfuegos, the Hearest point
TO secure coal and provisions. All the
ships were very short of coal, the Girls
tobal Colon having only two days sup
ply, which she had secured at Santiago.
The Spaniards concentrated their fire on
the Brooklyn hoping to disable that YES
sci, which they considered the fastest of
the American warships, and thus give
an opportunity at least for one or two Of
the Spanish boats to escape.
The Brooklyn was hit forty-fve times.
The Spaniards estimate the forces be-
hind the Notifications of Santiago de
Cuba at about LOCO, including the 1000
reinforcements brought in by Gen. Pan
do, which are known to be in Santiago.
The force besides Gen. Pando's regulars
and 1900 volunteers are not to be de-
pended upon.
One thousand one hundred marines and
sailors were withdrawn from the city when
the Spanish fleet made its Inflated sorue.
