fed that before leaving Key West on

ment at Washington the Spanish fleet
was probably in the harbor of Santi-
ago. He had not been informed of
any secret code for communication
with the Cuban insurgents near Glen
fuegos He had taken dispatches for
Schley, one Of which The witness
thought was signed by Jecretary Long
beginning, "The report Of the Spanish
fleet being at Santiago might very
well be correct, so the department
strongly advises you to send word inn
mediately 20 Schley by the Iowa to
proceed OF Santiago with the whole

been no trouble in coaling the Iowa on
the afternoon of May 20. He related
two or three instances in which the
ships Of the flying squadron cleared for
action upon signal from the flagship
before May 81 when vessels
were discerned in distance, which in
each case proved to be American
ships. Each time the signal to clear
reaction the ships made a speed of
IL knots an hour. He also told of the
bombardment of the Colon and des-
cribed the blockade off Santiago har-
Dor, but his testimony didn't differ
from that given by Admir-
Al Evans.

What the South Can Do.

The Importance of Southern manu-
faotRrers Of cotton goods going into all
lines Of manufacture instead Of con-
fining their efforts to one line Wherin
they become competitors with one
another, has been many times enpha-
sized by those N ost familiar With the
field. The advice is wise, for it GER
,ainly is tue that the mills here at
the cotton fields should produce
everything that.is Manufactured from the
cotton, and can. The recent venture
Of the Lsngley Manufacturing Com
psny at West Point has demonstrated
the possibilities in line heretofore
practically unsop ,bed. This company,
Of which Captain Edward Lsngley is
general manager, is manufacturing lap
robes, fancy towels, portieres crochet,
Marseilles and the Mitohelline quilts,
all Of which are designsted, woven and
dyed at West Point. Samples Of the
work Of this company which have
reached Atlanta show that even in its
infancy it has attained high standard
Of success. There are other lines as yet
practically untouched in which cotton
manufacturers can fad opportunities
for a remunerstiVe market. Despite
the great growth of the industry in the
past decade, it is still comparatively in
its infancy. Atlanta Constitution.
