But Washington Believes the Latter Are Off Cuba. THE LAST BOMBARDMENT SPANISH FLAGS AT HALF MAST. WASHINGTON, June 20. No doubt isentertainedby either the War Depart ment or the Navy Department that Shafter's military expedition has ar rived safely oft Santiago by this time. As a matter of fact it is believed the first transports arrived near the block ade tieet Saturday night. ON BOARD the Associated Press dis patch b'oat Dauntless, off Santiago de Cuba, Saturday, June 18, noon, via Kingston, Sunday, June 19, 2 p. m. The horizon is eagearly and impatiently scanned for a glimpse of the long ex pected transports. The delay in their arrival is inexplicable,- as much favor able weather is being lost and the hur ricane season is due in less than 30 days. Meanwhile from Kingston and Port Antonio come reports that large quantities of supplies are being smug gled into Cuba. A careful inspection of the fortiflca tiins along the crest of the hills defend ing Santiago harbor since the bombard ment Thursday morning shows that the American gunners spread wreck, and ruin everywhere. The vultutres, which circled on level wings over the hills as thick as swallows around a chimney, for hours after the firing ceased, fur nished gruesome evidence of the fatal ity among the Spanish soldiers. Hun dreds of troops could be seen from the ships digging in mounds of earth piled up by the explosion of the projectiles from the heavy guns for bodies, while their heads were fanned by the wings of the black scavengers of the battleield. The hilltops seem literally blown away.' These marked the places where the 200-pound charge of gun cot ton blown from the Vesuivus landed. Uut the most ominous token of death ilew from Morro castle. The saffron ilag of Spain was half-masted on the keep for several hours. The signifi cence of this is not known. Some offi cers of the squadron believe that the Hag was half-masted as a notification to the Americans that Lt. Hobson and his brave men were dead. If such is the case they must have been wantonly murdered. Not a shot from the Amer ican ships struck the fortress. Neither Admiral Sampson nor Com modore Schley believe that Lt. Hobson and his party have been killed. We have IT prisoners taken at Guantana- mo, including a lieutenant, besides a number in the United States, for repris als or exchange. There was evident demoralization among the Spanish troops during the last bombardment. Officers could be seen, with drawn swords, driving the men to the guns, but even then they could not be forced to stay so long as our guns were directed at them. The 15 minutes nignt worn 01 ine Vesuvius had shattered their nerves. There were no casualities in the fleet, although the ships held a fixed position. as if inviting the Spaniards to hre upon them. 1 iS.UdJM.m CROQUET CLUB. Players Organize, With Dr L. B. McBrayer as President. A number of gentlemen met in Dr. L. B. McBrayer's office Saturday and or ganized "The Asheville Croquet club." Dr. McBrayer was elected president; Dr. W P. Whittington, vice-president; W. E. Howard, secretary, and J. M. In gle, treasurer. The club s grounds are at ur. mm rtmvcr'o i-K?rlTir in West Asheville. anHar nmhnhiv the finest in the State.

The club has 10 charter members, and would like tn ninv tournament with any club or any individuals who enjoy this sport. Said one of the entnustasis or me new club: "Croquet is an excellent out inArt and 1st more scientific than Ul'VJl " - - - - - either billiards, lawn tennis or even the latest fad, golf, but it is more wan probable that a scientific game was never played in the city until the Ashe ville Croquet club began its games."

Although the amount of subscriptions to the new 3 per cent, loan will not be made pub lic it U officially stated that it exceeas all expectations.

The Main Building Will be 60x700 Feet in Size Contracts for 3000 Tons of Bark Already Let. Arthur F. Rees of the firm of Hans Rees' Sons, the extensive tanners of New York City and elsewhere, return ed from New York yesterday and is to day busy with plans for the erection of the large tannery near the passenger depot at Asheville. Mr. Rees went to New York two weeks ago, accompanied by his attor ney, Haywood Parker, esq., to untie some knots that had occurred in the purchase of the land upon which the in dustry is to be located. Friday the diffi culties were all adjusted and the deeds passed, and Mr. Rees and Mr. Parker reached Asheville yesterday. This morning the contract for grad ing for a side track and for the vatf, was let to J. M. Lorick & Co., of Ashe ville, and the work will be pushed bls speedily as the weather will permit. The contract for 300 vats, the main tannery building and the bark sheds will probably be let this week. The vats will be built of oak or North Car olina pine, and will be 7x9 feet and six feet deep. The main building will be of wood, 60x700 feet in size, and will be known as the beam-house, handler house and yard. The bark sheds will be built to suit the demands. Con tracts have already been let for about 3000 tons of bark, which will be gotten into sheds as speedily as possible. J. A. Clevenger, who is a practical tannery builder, will have general su pervision of all the buildings. Mr. Clev enger is now in Washington, having gone there for his family, but is ex pected to reach Asheville tomorrow and will occupy his home recently purchas ed on Haywood street. The work of constructing the plant for this extensive tannery will be pushed as rapidly as the weather will permit, and unless unlocked for im pediments arise the tannery will prob ably begin operations by November 1. Arthur F. Rees will remain in Ashe ville and have a general supervision o: all the work, and it is probable will make Asheville his home. Mr. Rees' son, H. B. Rees. now in charge of one of the company's tanneries at Zep, Shenandoah county, Va will also move to Asheville and have charge of the outside work of the business here. COUNTY TEACHERS.

The Paris Medicine company, a well known organization of capitalists en gaged in the manufacture of tasteless quinine in this city, together with their extensive business in St. Louis, will soon establish a branch house here for the manufacture of the celebrated Bromo Quinine. In St. Louis the company employs 125 people in manufacturing this medi cine but it is not likely so large a number will be given work here, as ma chinery is being more extensively used in the manufacture than formerly. Last year $85,000 was spent in advertising Bromo Quinine. The company has about 20 employes all with two or three exceptions, being girls engaged in making the tasteless quinine, and it is rapidly being intro duced through physicians and whole sale drug houses.

Saturday President McKlnley ap pointed Will H. Williams of Asheville to a second lieutenantcy in the U. S. regular army, the appointment being secured by Senator Pritchard and Con gressman Pearson. This appointment will be gratifying to the friends of Mr. Williams, who has lived in Asheville many years. He has. for some time held a position on the Atlantic & North Carolina railroad, and more recently has had the impor tant duty of managing the immense truck shipments for that road. Lieut. Wrilliams, who is a son of Sur geon General John Hey Williams, should make a fine record in Uncle Sam's service, and his friends hope that he may be assigned to duty with the North Carolina troops. He received a thorough military education at the Vir ginia Military institute. He is a per fect specimen of pnysicai mannooa, oe ing 25 years old, standing six feet three inches tall and weignmg ia pounas, and with it all Is a skilled athlete.

SORE ARM SOLDIERS. Vaccination-Flag Navel Reservei Telegraph Operators. RALEIGH, N. C, June 2a The fact that over 300 "sore arms' are making themselves felt in the Second regiment is proof of the excellence of the vac cine virus. Then, too, the recruits are yet to be heard from. The regiment on parade is now but a skeleton a shadow of its former self. The sore arm causes the thin ranks. Yesterday afternoon at the dress pa rade the presentation of a flag was made to Co. E, of Greenville and is the flag which the ladies of Greenville sent here as a gift to that company. Col. Burgwyn made the presentation speech and Capt. J. T. Smith responded. The regiment will use the flag until Its own colors come. 1 The Adjutant General now says he? has no idea that the naval reserves will be mobilized. It seems that a sufficiency of them are now in service. This State has 150 on duty now; 105 on the monitor Nantucket, which is on guard at the Port Royal dry dock, and the other 45 on signal duty along the coast of this State. Some of the local papers make pretty sharp comments upon the absence Sat urday of all persons connected with the executive department. The Governor is never missed. It is a common remark among Republicans that the State gets on better when he is absent than when he is here. Jay L. Sims of the First regiment goes to Manila as telegraph operator. So also do G. R. Reitzel and Samuel G. Burgin, both of Greensboro. There will be no trouble in getting the 10 opera tors wanted. THAT RAIN HELPED. Canton's Harvest of Wheat Personals-Ill at Raleigh. CANTON. N. C, June 19. The hus bandmen of this section are being re warded with an abundant' harvest of wheat. Other crops look very promts ing, especially since the much needed rains of the past few days.

Moore, a recent graduate from Vanderbilt University, has opened an office in Canton for business. Dr. J. F. Abel was summoned by tel egraph and left Saturday for Raleigh to attend his brother Albert who is suf fering from typhoid in the Second reg iment hospitaL Young Abel and anoth er brother, Henry, are with Capt. Gib son's company and are said to be two of the best specimens of physical man hood in the Second regiment. Henry was until recently town marshal at Waynesville, JUDGMENT OBTAINED. Suit Against the County for Witness Fees. At the special February, '97, term of Buncombe Circuit court the case of State vs. Wiley Williams, charged with larceny, was tried. Williams was con victed, but Jumped his bond and sen tence was not passed. The officers and State's witnesses demanded of the County Commissioners pay for witness tickets and costs in the action. This was declined by the Commissioners. At the special aJnuary, '98' term Judge Ewart made an order that the county pay one-half of the costs in the case. The bill of costs was made out by Solicitor McCall and presented to the commissioners in April. The board agreed to allow the bill but wanted till next meeting to look into the matter. After doing so, the board declined to pay the bill at the May meeting. Last Saturday C. W. Wilson, to whom the claims. had been asisgned, brought suit against the county in Justice Herndon's court, where Judgment was obtained for about $130. Luther & Mor ris and Thomas and Wells represented the plaintiff, while the defense was rep resented by County Attorney Mark W. Brown. It is said that other similar suits will be brought. 'BACK FROM KLONDIKE. John Romeo Has Seen All of It He Wants To. John Romeo, who, with Jesse J. Lange, left Asheville several months ago for the Klondike, returned to Asheville this afternoon, a much wiser and disgusted man. He thinks the Klondike is very largely a delusion, and would advise no one to attempt the trip. The company with which the Asheville men made the trip from Seat tle lost thousands of dollars, they hav ing been guided by a man who knew little of the country. Mr. Romeo got within 20 miles of Dawson City. He was ill for several weeks. Mr. Lange, he said, knew noth ing of the war, although he had two brothers at the front. NOTTO BE EXCHANGED.

The finish ing department of the King Powder company in Warren county was ide stroyed last night in a manner leading to the belief that It was the work of enemies of the government. The build- ng, in which was a quantity of smoke less powder, was evidently fired by two men near midnight, one of whom was badly burned and had been apparently dragged away from the burning build ing by a companion. The smokeless powder, In the condi tion it was in this department, does not explode like ordinary powder with a flash, but breaks into a bright light and burns for some time. A great light attracted the citizens and some of these met a stranger going to South Leba non, i The injured man was taken into cus tody. He was apparently a foreigner, but was so badly injured that he can scarcely, talk. ! This company has a contract to sup ply the government. j SIX NEW DEPUTIES.
