The Pontotoc Il Starkville Railroad
Company has just been organized with
an authorized capital of 100000. The
contemplated line of railroad is Of
exceedingly light grade, and is designed
to connect the town of Pontotoc, the
Gulf & Chicago Railroad, with the
town Of Starkvillc, and will be about
sixty miles in length. This line will
pass through one of the most produce
tive cotton belts between the Mobile &c
Ohio and Illinois Central Railroads, to
say nothing of the splendid forests Of
both hard and soft woods This line
will cross the Southern, or Georgia
Pacific, and at Starkvillc connect with

outlet, and supplying long sought
and much needed connection with the
outside world. This railroad has the

WAR NEWS.
Upon arriving at Santiago Gen. Miles
held conferences with Admiral Samp-
son and Gen. Shafter.
Because of irreconcilable differences
Of opinion on the question of initiating
peace negotiations Premier Sagasta and
the entire Spanish cabinet resigned.
Orders were given by the secre-
tary of war for the removal OF all
the submarine mines which now pro-
tect the harbors of the United States
against the entry of hostile ships.
Lieut.. Gen. Miles reached the front
at Santiago. and assumed command of
our forces in the field. He found that
our hospitals and trenches were full
of water. He also found affairs at
Siboney i'm a shocking condition and
ordered the town destroyed by fire.
1t was demonstrated by the bonn
bardment of Santiago by SIMPSONS
squadron that the guns of the fleet
can easily destroy the city. The town
was set on fire in four different places
by eight-inch shells.
In Madrid Sagasta said there was
no remedy for Spain but peace.
4 German cruiser prevented the
Philippine insurgents from capturing
Isla de Grande, in Subig bay, where
upon Admiral Dewey sent the Raleigh
and Concord and captured the island
and turned it over to the insurgents.
Over 1000 Spaniards we're made pris-
oners.
At Santiago Gen. Miles assumed
command of all the American forces
and fire on the city would be com
rendered.
Spain's minister of foreign affairs
denies that negotia tions for peace
have taken place.
The president and his cabinet de-
cded that the capture of Santiago
must be effected with expedition in
consequence of the terrible climatic
conditions and the danger to our
men owing to an outbreak of yellow
| fever.
Cuban insurgents have q plan of es'
tablishing the capital of their govern
ment at Santiago.
Advices from London indicate an al
most general opinion that the fall OF
Santiago will induce Spain to sue for
speedy peace.
The commander of the Spanish
forces at Santiago de Cuba, Gen. Toral,
surrendered to Gen. Shafter. and the
Spanish troops are to be sent to Spain
under parole. The surrender includes
all tho Notifications and the entire
eastern end of Cuba.
The Fanita and Florida. conveyed by
the gunboat Peoria, landed large eX
petitions at Palo Alto, on the soutl
coast of Cuba.
Three thousand American troop
have been landed near Cienfuegos un
der cover of the guns of the Montgom
ery.
The government will now turn it
attention to the capture of San Juar
Puerto Rico. An expedition is to b
started at once under Gen. Brooke.

Troops at Tampa.

TAMPA, Fla, July 17.-The military
situation here assumed renewed ac-
tivity today over the receipt of orders
which indicate an early movement of a
large number of troops to the front.
Early this morning the First brigade of
the Second army corps, commanded by
Gen. Schwan, was ordered to hold itself
in readiness to Immediately move
aboard the transports. This afternoon
these orders were countermanded, and
later came instructions for the entire
Second division, commanded by Gen.
Snyder, to be prepared to move any
moment.
