While the President was upfaltering in his indeavors to secure peace, he pushed his war preparations as if there were not a shadow of hope for peace, with the result that when hostilities did break out this country was ready. Within ten days after the first hostile movement of the war was made and within a week after the formal declaration was mate, Com- modore Dewey cut loose from his base of supplies, sailed 800 miles right into the enemy’s country, ut terly destroyed a Spanish fleet three times as large as his own, silenced the epemy’s forts and captured the enemy’s vity. History bardly fur- nishes a parallel for such @ rapid and decisive movement in such a@ brief time. As the war has begun, so will it be pushed. Noman in Washing- ton is more anxious to annibilate the forces of Spain than President Mc- Kinley, The nation has been sur- prised to learn that Commodore Dewey has acted strictly according to instructions sent him a3 soon as war was declared. His brilliant dash into the Philippine Islands was no random trip, but was carefully plann- edand the Asiatic squadron was thoroughly equipped for the task that the President had assigned it to per- form, Havana has been blockaded, communication with the insurgents is being established and the plans for the invasion of Cuba and the reduc- tion of Havana are being pushed. 221 BROADWAY BAYAMO EVACUATED. The latest advices from Cuba state that Gen, Pando, the commander of the Spanish forces in the field, with- drew the Spanish garrison from Bayamo, one of the important towns of the province of Santiago de Cuba, on April 25,and rebigeel™ who have arrived from Manzasville, the port of Bayamo, by the schooner Gov. Blake, say that Gen. Calixo Garcia, the insurgent commander, occupied the town the next day. Bayamo, or San Salvador, is situat- ed about sixty miles northwest of the city of Santiago de Cubs. It has » population of about 7,000, The merchants and residents of Bayamo, it app were in great fear of plunder and massacre, bat Gen. Garica issued a proclamation declaring that the property of Span- iards and their civil rights would be respecte’. The general also person- ally assured the leading Spaniards of that they were perfectly safe og at Bayamo, with the the result that the business wemt on as usual and transquility prevails there. The people began bringing in vegetables and mest from the country, and the prices of provisions fell. No cases of outrage lave been report- ed. Gen. Pando is understood to be at Manzanillo, near the riyer Canto, with the main body of the troops,, whose operations he has been direct- ing in Eastern Cuba, Up to April 27 about 5000 men, or one-third cf Gen. Pando’s for had been sent to Havana, and it said most of them are to go to the Cuban capital. They will be accompanied by Gen. Pando himself. The population of Manzanillo, which was about 12,000 before the war, has shrunk to 5000, and food is double and treble the ordinary prices. But few preparations have been made for the defense of Manzanillo. Capt. Rerrie, owner of the steamer Edmund Blunt, which recently took a cargo of provisions to Manzanillo, reiurned here on the Gov. Blake. The captain accepted a large offer from the Spanish government for his steamer, SECRET MARRIAGE. The many friends of County Clerk W. G. Dycus and Miss Bethel Hall, of Benton, were agreeably surprised Sunday night, when it was announced from the pulplt at the Christian church in that place that they were secretly married several days before. The ceremony was performed at the residence of E, C. Dycus, Jr., on Thursday night, April 21, 1898, at 8:30 o'clock, Rev. Warner Moore, Jr., ofliciating. There were only two people present, the number required for witnesses. Not even the family and closest friends of the contracting parties suspicioned the fact that they were married until a day or so before the announcement of the marriage, Mr. Dycus is a son of J. W. Dy- cus and is 86 years old. He at pres- ent holds the office of county clerk of Marshall, which office he has held for There is no reason why another ter- rific blow should not be deelt the ene- my in the next few days, and should that be the case, peace may follow and the shortest most decisive war in history will mn waged, two terms, He is a young man pos- sessing good business qualifications.

CHURCH, SOUTH. * Its General Conference Meets Tomorrow in the City of Baltimore. Thirteenth Quadrennial Session of This Most Important Organization. Baltimore, May 5.—The thir. teenth quadrennial conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, will assemble in this city on tomor- row morning and will bold business sessions daily for about three weeks. Prior to its meeting a session of the Sunday school board will be held, and there will also be conferences of the bishops and of the delegates, Of the latter there have been chosen 272, divided equally between the clergy and the laity, forty-six confer- ences being represented. The sub- jects to be discussed include changes in discipline, alteration of conference boundaries, Epworth League work, mis ary and church extension and the affairs of the Methodist Publish- ing company. Several bishops will be elected, the number being deter- mined by the recommendation ot their committee on Episcopacy. Only one vacancy, caused by the death of Bishop Haygood, of Atlanta, now ex- ists, but the advanced age of several of the present incumbents makes it almost certain that some of these will be retired and others chosen in their stead. The first session will be held], Thursday night, at which addresses will be delivered by Gov. Lowndes, | Bishop Wilson, of this city, and Bishop Hendrix, ot Kansas City. “MISS BETTY” TURNS UP. It seems that the woman whose mysterious disappearance from Mrs, Baker's boarding house was chron- icled in yesterday’s paper, is Mrs. Livingston county. This informa- tion is gleaned from a bible found in her trunk. The woman has not committed suicide, however, as a gentleman called at the Sun office last night soon after reading the account of ber disappearance, and left word that she was yesterday afternoon seen at Twelfth and Trimble street. She was ata house near the cor- ner, and was known only as ‘‘Miss Betty.” She seemed to be looking for work, in fact she told several that that was her mission. She appeare:l to always be in a bur- ry, and has been seen in the neigh- borheod several times. Why she left her boarding house so suddenly, and without leaving a word of expla- nation, and without calling for her property, is unknown, She may be unbalanced mentally. A CAIRO MAN, Cairo, Ill., May 5.—Capt. B. W. McClure relates a personal experi- ence with Commodore George Dewey. Capt. McClure was sta- tioned at Port Hudson, La., with the Third Kentucky infantry, when Dewey tried to run past the Confed- erate fort with the gunboat Missis- sippi. A desperate fight ensued, in which the Yankee commander ex- hibited the same | wiped out the Spi nila, The Mississippi was finally se- riously damaged, nearly all her crew killed, and the boat finally went adrift and blew up. Dewey made his escape. Capt. McClure says he has lived to rejoice that one Yankee was not killed. BOARD OF HEALTH. The board of health met yesterday aftervoon at the city hall. One good thing was done. This was to order all scavengers and other to haul offal and slop away in iron casks, securely covered, instead of wooden ones, and Open ones at that. The board also ordered Health Officer Milam to collect $1 for each body disinter-ed and $4 if the person died of a contagious disease. This is opposite to the position taken by Mayor Lang and the council. IS A. WAR CORRESPONDENT. Mr. Myron Chandler, who form- erly resided in Paducah, and was with his uncle, Dr. C. E.

The Health Officer Will Not Be Allowed to Collect Fees With- out Authority — Market House Ordinance. The fact developed at last night’s council meeting that City Engineer Pustlewaite without authority, d charged or requested the resignation of Assistant Engineer Lyon, which resignation was presented (o the coun- cil last night, and not accepted. It is said, and said on good authority, that there has been some trouble be- tween the two for some time, and the finally culminated in the affair last night. ‘The old ordinance gives the city engineer the power to employ and dis- charge his assistant, and it is under this that the engineer asked the res- tion of Mr. Lyon. When the erdinance was read at the meeting last night, the mayor called the at- tention to the new ordinance, under which Mr, Postlewaite was elected. It clearly specifies that the engineer shall not have the power to either em. ploy or discharge his assistant, hence Mr. Lyon is still assistant engineer, and will likely remain so. It fs said that he is the best man who could be is due the progress of the sewerage work, The matter has not yet been sible will be done to arrange it amic- ably. The city is again involved in controversy with Health cn lam. It has had the same experience before, but this time the mayor is a little nettled, and will settle it io short order. ‘The fucts are that the healthofi- cer is paid $100 a year for his ser- vices, and has seemingly been bent on getting as much as possible, whenever the opportunity presents itself. One of his duties is to issue burial permits. He is paid todo this, but has persisted in charging for issuing those wherein bodies have been exhumed and disinterred. The board of health a few weeks ago passed a resolution authorizing the health oflicer to collect $1 for everybody re-interred, except in oases where the deceased died of some con- cer during his term of office. The resolution, at the request of the health officer, was not presented to the council, and it was not long until a colored woman applied for a permit to re-bury the remains of her husband. She was told that she would have to pay one dollar, and applied to the mayor, who wrote Dr. Milam a letter, informing him that he had no right to make the charges, and requesting him to issue the per- mit. The woman was told that she would have to pay or wait until the next meeting of the city council, when it was supposed the latter would act on the resolution, The healih officer agsin requested that the resolution be withheld from the council, and it was, The woman again lied for the permit and was told that she would have to wait un- til the next meeting, and she again applied to the mayor, who wrote an-~ other letter, ordering the health offi- cer to issue the permit, and to come to him (the mayor) for the dollar. ‘The boarth of health met yester- day aad indorsed, for the second time, the resolution, and today the mayor says emphatically that the health officer shall not collect a cent for such services, as the board of health has po authority to give him the power to make such collections. There are balf a dozen or more of such cases occurring within a few weeks, where these fees have been illegally collected, and the matter will be settled, it seems, by the health officer getting orders to desist. The market house ordinance, as amended and passed on its first read- ing by the council last night, is said to be the best ordinance that could possibly be gottea up. It contains ll those clauses relative to the gov- ernment of the market house, such as those regulating teams, the rental of benches, and such matters, It also makes plainer the market hou! allows all kinds of goods, no from where obtained, to be gold on the market, except merchandise and such things, taken from stores.
