I
Special to The" Georgian.
New Orleans, La., Sept. 28.—At 0
o'clock this morning It had been 20
hours since telegraph communication
between Mobile and New Orleans had
been cut. The northeastern train which
waa due here yesterday morning came
In at 11 o'clock laat night, thus as
suring the people that the bridge across
Lake Pontchartraln was Intact as well
as all the roadway, although some of
the track was under water. A great
deal of fear was caused to friends out
side of New Orleans yesterday by re
ports originating elsewhere to the ef
fect that a tidal wave had struck thla
city. Such an occurrence would be an
Impossibility, a* the city Is thirty miles
from the mouth of the river.
Lake Pontchartraln, It is true, come*
up to the rear of tho city, but It Is con
nected with the • gult by a narrow
mouth called the "Rlgoletsand waves
can never do anything worse than fill
up the canals and overflow them.
At » o'clock there was practically no
news outside the city as to the ex
tent of the damage caused by the
storm. The damage In the city Is con
fined to the lake front and consisting
of the washing away of club houses
snd fishing camps and pleasure re
sorts. No loss of life has been report
ed.

Havana, Sept. 28.—On representation
made to him at noon by General Me-
nocal, Sanches and Agramonte, that It
would be Impossible to secure a quo
rum of congress by 2:30, the hour eet
for congress to meet, Secretary Taft
conceded the veterans who are work
ing for peace until 4:30 p. m. In which
time to secure the quorum.
Liberal members are still undecided
whether to stay away from the session,
thus preventing a quorum, or to attend
to give a chance for congress to take
some action which may prevent Inter
vention.
Havana, Sept. 28.—Tho fate of Cuba
Is in the balance today and the cards
are going one way or another before
another sun sets. President Palma'*
resignation goes to congress, which le
called to convene In extraordinary ses
sion, and upon the action taken by the
congress depends the Immediate future
of the country.
Secretary Taft has notified the lead
ers of the moderates that the time for
fooling le past, and It is now time to
act. A proclamation declaring an
American ad Interim government has
been drawn up naming either Mr. Taft
himself or Winthrop Beekman, gov
ernor of Porto Rico, governor general
of Cuba, nnd orders have been Issued
to Acting Admiral Couden, senior naval
officer, to be ready to land 2,000 ma
rlnes and blue Jackets.
2,000 Ready to Land.
The landing parties have been told
off aboard the various warships and
within an hour ,of the time Secretary
Taft gives the word, 2,000 men can be
landed In Havana ready for any busi
ness that may be at hand.
Won’t Withdraw Resignation.
Beyond denying a rumor that he will
withdraw hli resignation, President
Palma refuses to say anything. He la,
however, preparing a final statement,
which will be Issued when he retires
from office.
If Mr. Taft takes hold, a commission,
to conalst of General Funston, Major
Ladd, General Menocal and tome other
Cuban, will be appointed to make ar
rangements with the lnaurgenta for the
laying down of their arms. Elections
will take place on January 1.
A provisional Cuban government,
with General Menocal as president,
would be accepted by the Liberals, but
not by the Moderates.

Oyster Bay, N. Y., Sept. 20.—If the
8tar> anti Stripes are flung to the
breese over Cuban soil today or to
morrow to officially announce Ameri
can Intervention and temporary Amer
ican control, the order will probably be
Issued by President Roosevelt when he

TO TRIAL FOR SON
The Georgian's fight for municipal
ownership of a gas and electric light
ing plant la taking the city. The spe
cial committee of council appointed to
devise ways and means whereby the
city can get what It wants and what
It Is entitled to has decided to hold a
meeting In the veby near future and
secure the services of an expert who
will outline a course of action.
Alderman James L. Key, chairman
of the councllmanlc committee, has
urged every member of the committee
to familiarise himself with conditions.
This has been done, and when the com
mittee meets It will have the assur
ance of not only the backing of a fear
less, Independent newspaper working
for the upbuilding of the city and In the
Interest of the people, but hundreds of
the people will have spoken on their
own behalf through the columns of
The Georgian, assuring the committee
of the hearty support nnd sympathy
which the movement has taken on.
People Are Aroused.
The people have become aroused to
the situation. They are wondering why
It la that Atlanta haa to pay so much
more for her electric lights than scores
of other cities In the United States
The people do not understand why
they are forced to elgn a two-year eon-
tract, obligating themselves to pay at
least 22 a month whether they use
electricity sufficient to consume that
amount or not. They want to know bow
It la that the Georgia Railway nnd
Electric Company can contract for
power at from four to six-tenth cents
per kilowatt hour and charge from
eight to twelve cents per kilowatt hour.
They very naturally reason that If the
Georgia Railway and Electric Compa
ny can do that the city can do it.
Then there la the Question ot the gas
plant. It they could get gas at a reas
onable price and under favorable con
ditions they would not submit .o the
dictatorial methods ot the Georgia
Railway and Electric Company. But
when tne people begin to figure on do
ing without electricity and going to gas
they find themselves confronted with a
condition where they are at the mercy
of the same corporation. The Georgia
Railway and Electric Company will
supply the people with gss or electrici
ty. If the people do not like the gas
or electricity furnished by the Georgia
Railway nnd Electric Company, why
very well; do without.
Enormous Profit Made.
The people want to know how It la

pleaded guilty. Natlvlda. another lead
er, and 34 Ladrone privates, who also

The sentences have, caused a pro
found sensation among the Filipinos,
many of whom, Including Gomes, who
Induced the surrender of the band
while he was acting as a government
agent, claim that the bandits were
practically assured of light sentences.
The native newspapers accuse ex-Gov-

Ide and Colonel Bandholz denied any
promise of immunity. All death sen
tences are subject to review by the su

Court Docket Light.
Special to The Georgian.
Perry, Ga, Sept. 28.—Houston supe
rior court meet* here Monday. The
civil docket la very light. There will
be a food deal of criminal business.
A bomb was thrown Into the camp
of the former Cumberland Preebyte-
rians, who favor union with the Pres
byterian church In the United State*
of America, when Judge J. T. Pendle
ton Friday morning handed down a de
cree forbidding the unionists from tak
ing any part whatever In the manage
ment or control of the First Cumber
land Presbyterian church of Atlanta.
This Is the first serious reverse re
ceived by those favoring union. They
won In suits brought at Decatur, III,
and Warrensburg, Mo, and got the bet
ter of a decision rendered at Fayette
ville. Tenn.. but In Atlanta they have
been absolutely turned down at every
point.
Judge Pendleton enjoined them on
every point and In almost the exact
verbage of the temporary restraining
order, and besides that, added to the
order a paragraph stating that the
union was In conflict with "the express
provisions of their constitution.” The
unionists deny this construction of ths
court, contending that the union was
merely not authorised, but not forbid
den. They declare that no church con
stitution contains a clause giving It
permission to dissolve Itself Into an
other church.
Rev. George H. Mack, pastor of the
church and In favor of union, said Fri
day afternoon that It was tbo early to
make any statement whatever about
the matter. Though he will not say so.
It la said that there la no doubt that
Jhe case will be appealed to the *u- ■
prame court. In fact. It was said be
fore the decree was rendered that It
would be appealed by whichever faction
lost the case In the lower court.
The decree in full follows:
Judge Pendleton’s Decree.
After hearing tho evidence and the
argument of. It la considered, ordered
nnd adjudged that the defendants,
