Currency Inflation.
It Is probable that the volume of the
currency will be considerably increased
in the near future. The war revenue bill
provides for issuing $400,000,000 of 3 per
cent, bonds at par. It is said that the
rational banks will be liberal subscribers
Xor these bonds. They will use them as
e basis for circulation. They can do so
very advantageously.
But the banks would not care to increase
the volume of their notes unless they saw
signs of a very considerable increase in
business. The fact therefore that they
are applying for an increase in their cir
culation is good evidence that they ex
pect a very great improvement in business
next fall.
The Populists, who want the country
flooded with’ greenbacks, are against the
national banks because they do not take
out all the circulating notes to which they
are entitled. But why should they go to
the expense of taking out a larger amount
of notes than they can use with profit?
The purjtose of the banks is to make
money, not to Increase the volume of the
currency simply because a political parly
thinks it would be beneficial to the coun
try to have it increased. The high price
of government bonds makes circulating
notes when the de
mand for money <s strong. The 3 per
abb* tinrks to
increase less cost than
» *ltbey aan now, and that fact, together with
the prospect of a better demand for money
i in tho fall, will lead the national banks
tft largely increase their clrculatiop. The
vplume of the money in circulation will
Ibe much larger next fall, in ail probability,
than it is now.
Id| The Fever in MlmhlhmlppL
" We nre not surprised that the govecn
iment officials are alarmed at the appear
ance of yellow fever on the Gulf coast in
Mississippi. The officials of the Marine
Hospital Service have been watching for
it in the sections of country in which it
prevailed last year, though they hoped
they would see no signs of it. The sur
ge >n general of that service was quoted
a day or two ago, us having said that
there was a pretty fair chance, owing to
the steps which hud been taken during
the winter to destroying the germs of the
disease, that there would be no yellow fev
er in the country this year. What he said
liad a reassuring and quieting effect.
I The appearance of the fever at McHen
■ r,, Miss., leaves no room to doubt that**
R the germa of tho diacase have survived
| through the winter, and are beginning to
| make their presence known.
I The appearance of the disease so early
I in the season is rather alarming. If the
I first eases are of a malignant type the
I probability is that there will be a much
■ more severe epidemic of the disease than
| that of last year. Last year’s epidemic
I did not amount to much, although it did
| «t vast amount of damage to business.
I The breaking out of the fever naturally
■ caused a great deal of uneasiness at tho
I war department. The question was nt
I once presented whether the troops at Gulf
| j> *rii» should not be moved Immediately to
■ the interior. The* fever was at New Or
■ leans and Mobile lust year, and while it
k t' to be hiope<j that it will not appear in
V those cities this year the war department
H should not hesitate to order
■ troop* out of all territory In which the
•fever appeared last year. The question
• whether troops should be moved away
W from Gulf ports which art* not tn lust
year’s fever territory is a question for the
yellow fever experts to answer, and tn
answering itjhcy should lean to (he side
of caution. It would be folly to take a
•■erious risk unless absolutely necessary
to do so.
A Question of Offlceri.

and regiments should have white officers.
To that view there is likely to be a great
deal of opposition on the part of the color
ed leaders, and the colored men who pro
pose to enlist.
In New Orleans, on Tuesday night, there
was a large meeting of colored men who
were willing and anxious to enlist. Those
who had put their names down as being
willing to enlist didn’t appear to care a
great deal about the question as to wheth
er their officers should be white or black
men, but the negro preachers and politic
ians were on hand and made speeches,
telling the volunteers to insist upon colored
officers. If that should be insisted upon
generally, it is probable that the plan of
having negro immune regiments would be
abandoned.
In the war department and in army cir
cles the impression prevails that the ne
groes make good soldiers, and there seems
to be no doubt that they would make good
fighters provided they were led by officers
in whom they have confidence. That is the
reason why it is desired that negro regi
ments shall have white officers. In the rgg
tflar army the negro companies and regri
ments have white officers, and there is no
111 feeling between the soldiers and officers
on the ground of color.
It would doubtless be better for the col
ored volunteers to have white officers who
have had some military experience, be
cause the chances are that the men would,
as a rule, obey them more readily, but it
is apparent that the colored politicians and
preachers are not going to rest easy until
they get from the war department a de.
clsion that colored volunteers shall have
officers of their own color.
No doubt the colored leaders will contend
that colored officers who are entirely com
petent can be obtained. The reason that
colored volunteers have not been called for
Is probably that the government doesn’t
care to be bothered with the race issue in
volved in the question of officers for color
ed volunteers. If that Is the case, the
chances are that colored volunteers will
not be called for as long as white volun
teers offer freely. In New Orleans the col
ored leaders seem to think that Providence
ordered this war for the special purpose of
solving the race problem. As long as they
have that idea they will insist that the
colored volunteers shall have officers of
their own color.
Gen. Shafter’s Mission.
The war department permitted the fact
that Gen. Shaftei*, with the troops under
his y comma nd, sailed from Tampa on
Wednesday to be known, but it refused
to give out any information in respect to
Gen. Shafter’s mission or destination. The
general belief is that he has gone to Santi
ago, and that within a day or two we shall
hear that he has landed his troops near
that place and has taken, or is engaged
in an effort to take, it.
SUH, It is not clear why the government
should desire to capture Santiago, unless
it is not satisfied that the Spanish fleet
there is securely shut in the harbor. If
the Merrimac completely closes the mouth
of the harbor, one monitor or cruiser
ought to be sufficient to prevent the Span
iards from removing the obstruction from
life c'tT^Ciitb’Admira? his
squadron is JutLt as useless to Spain shut in
Santiago heritor as if it were tied up to
the docks al Key West or New York. And
blockade runners are as effectually shut
out of Santiago as the Spanish squadron
Is shut th. It is not easy to see,
what Is to be gained by capturing Santiago,
assuming that it is Gen. Shafter’s mission
to capture it. If it were in our possession
we should be very little, if any nearer,
the end of the war, because, for a year
or more, the insurgents have had posses
sion practically of all the country in that
part of Cuba.
However, in view of the fact that the
public is not informed of the plans of the
government, and doesn't even know that
the plans include the capture of Santi
ago. it may be premature to say that noth
ing Is to be gained by taking possession
of that place. Gen. Blanco cannot be
reached from there, and Spain will
not feel that she is being driven out of
Cuba as long as her flag floats at Havana.
AV 111 the Step He Tnkenf
The country is watching with profound
Interest to see what Congress will do with
the joint resolution which provides for
the annexation of Hawaii. The proposition
to annex Hawaii means a great deal more
now than it did when the treaty of annex
ation was negotiated. Then it had refer
ence only to Hawaii; now it means that
the acquisition of Hawaii is a step towards
the permanent acquisition of the Philip
pines and a total change in our foreign
policy. Will Congress take that step*
Before the buttle of Manila nobody,
either in or out of Congress, thought Lt
would be advisable for this country to in
terfere -in the eastern question or to be
come the possessor of colonies. The most
patriotic and far-seeing of our citiaens re
garded it as fortunate that we had noth
ing to do with the question of disrupting
the Chinese empire, which was being con
sidered by Germany, Russia, France and
Great Britain. But what a change has
taken place in a few short weeks! Now,
plenty of reasons are offered why we
should become the permanent possessors
of the Philippines and should also have a
vo«ce in whatever changes the Powers of
Europe propose to make Ln the Chinese
empire. Not only that, but it is urged
that we should take permanent possession
of Porto Rico and so shape our policy that
Cuba would eventually become a part of
our territory. In short, the underlying
thought is that we should become the pos
sessor of great colonies in widely sepa
rated parts of the world, and should cast
aside as obsolete the policy, inaugurated
by the fathers of the republic, which
avoids Interfering in questions which
compel the Powers of Europe to maintain
big armies and powerful navies.
The first step towards this radical
change ia the acquisition of Hawaii. If
we annex Hawaii by a joint resolution, it
will be practically a forcible annexation,
because the people of those Islands have
not assented to become a part of our ter
ritory. It is said, however, that in per
muting our vessels to ggt coal at Honolulu
the Hawaiian government has virtually
made a declaration of hostility to Spain,
ami that we are bound to defend Hawaii
against Spain. That argument is not a
conclusive one, but it answers the purpose
of those who are trying to commit thia
THE WEEKLY NEWS (TWO-TIMESA-WEEK): MONDAY, JUNE 13. 1898.
country to a radical change in its foreign
policy.
Those who favor this change include all
adventurers, and all who see fat pickings
in colonial offices, a vast increase in pat
ronage, opportunities for advancement be
cause of the large army ahd navy which
would be required and trade advantages
which accompany colonial possessions.
Most of them are thinking only of them
selves. Very few of them consider the
welfare of the country.
The Hawaiian joint resolution marks a
very important point in the history of the
United States. Its importance is being
gradually understood. The people are
waiting to see whether the step will be
taken which, In all probability, would
lead to a radical change in the nation’s
foreign policy.
Liquid Air.
Announcement has been made in the
public prints of the “commercial” lique
faction of air. “What does that mean,
and ivhat does it signify?” may be asked.
It means that a process has been perfect
ed whereby air can be liquified at a cost
so low that the liquid can be used for
commercial or other purposes, and it sig
nifies in all probability the inauguration
of a new era In refrigeration, and possi
bly also in propulsion and explosion.
Liquid air, in short, is one of the most
remarkable discoveries of the century, and
its uses are almost without number. Cer
tainly they have not nearly been cata
logued yet. Before the end is reached,
liquid air may be found a more tractable
and universally useful servant than even
electricity, which is now made to cater to
a very great variety of our wants.
It is of Interest to know what liquid air
is. In short, it is a condensation into
liquid form of the air which we breathe.
The old textbooks of natural philosophy
told us that air was incapable of liquefac
tion, but that was a mistake. Modern
scientists have succeeded, by mechanical
means, of extracting from the air a great
part of the heat stored up in it by the sun,
and condensing the air into one-eight
hundredth of its natural volume, at which
point the air becomes a pale blue liquid.
In its liquid state the air is 312 degrees be
low zero, Fahrenheit, and 800 cubic feet
of natural air are compressed into one foot
of liquid air. In the excessive frigidity of
the liquid, and its great expansive power
in returning to its original form of the
circumambient atmosphere, lie the most
prodigeous possibilities.
In an article in the June Cosmopolitan
Mr. Charles E. Triplier, who has succeed
ed in making liquified air in commercial
quantities, outlines some of the possibili
ties of the wonderful article. With it
steel rods may be set on fire and burned
with a match, nearly all metals may be
made as friable xs terracotta, cotton and
sponge may be detonated as if they were
nitroglycerine or guncotton, engines may
be driven, projectiles may be fired and ex
ploded, air ships may be propelled, and
other wonders worked. As a destroyer,
owing to its monstrous expansive force,
it can be made a most terrible agent;
nevertheless it can be handled with ab
solute safety* since a % shock will not dis
turb it. It must be a
flame.
As a peaceful commercial agent, the
liquid can be used for refrigerating cars
and storage rooms, cooling hotels and res
idences, and lowering the temperature of
sick rooms and hospital wards. Mr. Trip
lier says that in hotels snd other large
establishments the same motive power
which is used for running the elevators
and driving the dynamos can be turned to
account for all kinds of refrigerating.
Liquid air is chemically pure. Manifest
ly it would be impossible for disease germs
to live in a temperature of 312 degrees
below zero, Fahrenheit, or 290 degrees be
low the freezing point; therefore the possi
bilities of the liquid in medicine and sur
gery are very great. “The temperature
in hospital wards, even in the tropics,”
says Mr. Triplier, “could be readily cooled
to any degree prescribed by the physician
in charge; and by keeping the air about
yellow fever patients down to the frost
point the nurses would be perfectly pro
tected against contagion and the recovery
of the patients themselves facilitated.”
Again, the cauterizing cold which liquid
air is capable of producing might be used
in cases of cancer, and probably also in
consumption, hay fever and asthma.
In conclusion Mr. Triplier says of the
wonderful article: “The potential applica
tions of liquid air are simply revolution
ary. It is probable that even electricity
is not destined be of greater service to
mankind. At present, in the best engines,
90 per cent, of the energy theoretically ex
isting in the coal consumed is dissipated.
This enormous loss liquid air will enable
us to obviate.”
The mystery’ of that "flag of truce” on
the lowa off Santiago the other day has
been explained. It will be remember
ed that the dispatches told of the com
ing out of a Spanish launch with a lieu
tenant on board to ascertain what was
wanted under the truce flag. The flag in
question, however, proved to be Capt.

Some Fnmonx Humorists.
Though not a professional entertainer,
Col. Ochiltree has suggested a revival of
the court fool, or the king’s jester, says
the New York Press. He has been on the
staffs of numerous rich men since his re
tirement from Congress, and has earned
every honorarium he may have received.
There is no better company than the gal
lant colonel when he feels in the humor,
and that is nearly all the time. He is
physically strong, and his brain is tireless
in inventing tales, jokes and repartee,
schemes, plans, amusements. His capital
is congeniality. Was he at the Makay-
Duer wedding? He was the devoted
friend of the boy who died, which fact
should endear nim to Clarie and his fath
er and mother. If John W. Mackay bvere
less simple in his tastes, and required
other entertainment than tying countries
together with cables, Col. Ochiltree would
be worth 5100,000 a year to him.
Chauncey Depew is an “amoosin’ cuss,”
and in rollicking fun has more than earned
his salary of $50,000 a year. He always had
a new (?) story for William H. Vanderbilt,
who liked unexpurgated editions, and
many a yarn has he spun for Cornelius
and Willie K. when time hung heavy. Cor
nelius would have been convalescent long
ago had the good doctor attended him on
his travels. Depew’s face in repose is
enough to drive a man to drink or inordi
nate laughter. Gen. Howard Carroll is
worth at least his wife’s dot to her father,
John H. Starin. He is about 2CO pounds of
Irish wit rolled in a ball. He keeps Uncle
George Casper Clausen, park commission
er, in a roar all the time when they are to
gether. Dick Halsted is recognized as the
wag of the Stock Exchange, and when
there is any' fun going on he is in the
thick of it. His jokes have brought the
crow’s feet of happy expectation around
the eyes of his partner, Amory Hodges.
Funny men seldom realize their highest
ambition. Chandler, the funny man of the
Senate, did get to be Secretary of the
Nayy, and there he stopped. Tim Camp
bell could make the House of Representa
tives and President Cleveland stand on
their heads. Simeon Ford is the Joe Miller
of the hotel men, while among newspaper
humorists, all writers excepted, no one
has said more clever things than St. Clair
McKelway. Among the preachers there
are many punsters, but wits. Dr.
Collyer, when not in h<s pulpit, bubbles
over with sage pleasantries that put him
in the class with Sheridan. All lawyers
regard themseives as crackerjacxs at jok
ing and repartee, but most of them are
mere clowns and buffoons. Joe Choate
stands above them all when genuine ju
nior is wanted. Life is all a joke to physi
cians, and in New York we have several
able jesters. No one can beat Dr. George
Harrison telling ‘‘nigger stories.”
Anecdote of Gladstone.
Mr. Gladstone was once the victim of a
reporter’s curious error, says the New
York World, either in reporting or tele
graphing, which was that where in a cel
ebrated speech he declared, “We have
burned our boats and destroyed our
bridges,” he must have been horrified to
read, "We have burned out boots and de
stroyed our breeches.” The poted phrase
is on our side” was rendered in one
report as "Tim is on our side.”
"We are very proud of our trees,” said
Mr. Gladstone once to a party of excur
sionists from Lancashire, "and are there
fore getting anxious, as the beech has al
ready shown symptoms of decay. We set
great store by our trees.” “Why. then,”
roared a Lancashire lad, “do you cut ’em
down as you do?” “We cut down that we
may improve. We remove rottenness that
we may restore'health by letting in air and
light. As a good Liberal, you ought to
understand th-<L” J^a^ashirej>et up a
i'oar oelightr*iand IhtftnsSomnted inter
rogator came in for many a fleer from his
companions.
Mr. Gladstone dearly loved a joke, even
at his own expense, and he possessed con
siderable mimetic powers. He was once
guilty of an amusing bull in a debate on
the question of disestablishment. Dilat
ing on the hold held on the affections of
the people by the Church of England, he
said: “When an Englishman wants to get
married, to whom does he go? To the par
ish priest. When he wants his child
baptized, to whom does he go? To the.
parish priest. When he wants to bet bur
ied, to whom does he go?” The House an
swered with a roar of laughter, in which
Mr. Gladstone himself joined, adding, “As
I was contrasting the English Church with
the Irish, a bull is perhaps excusable.”
On one occasion two gentlemen, invited
as guests at a table where Mr. Gladstone
was expected, made a wager that they
would start a conversation on a subject
about which even Mr. Gladstone would
known nothing. To accomplish this end
they read up an ancient magazine article
on some unfamiliar subject connected with
Chinese manufactures. When the favor
able opportunity came the topic was
started, and the two conspirators watch
ed with amusement the growing interest
in the subject which Mr. Gladstone’s face
betrayed. Finally he joined in the con
versation and their amusement was turned
into gnashing of teeth—to speak figurative
ly— w’hen Mr. Gladstone said “Ah, gentle
men, I perceive you have been reading an
article I wrote in the Magazine some
thirty or forty years ago.”
A General find Peanuts.
"A few weeks ago,” said a Washington
man who travels a good deal, to a Star re
porter, "I was crossing from New York
to Brooklyn on the Fulton ferry. I stood
on the forward deck of the ferryboat to
get a breath of air. Standing alongside
of me was a ragged newsboy, industrious
ly munching some hot peanuts that he had
gotten at the ferry entrance. On the other
side of the peanut-eating newsboy was a
fine-looking elderly man, of a decidedly
military appearance
“This military-looking man w»as to the
windward of the boy with the peanuts,
and he began to sniff hungrily, as I notic
ed, as he looked at the urchin beside him.
He watched the boy munching his peanuts
until the ferry boat was half way across
the East river. Then he held out the open
palms of both his hands to the lad, say
ing. ‘For heaven’s sake, boy, give me some
peanuts, quick!’
"The boy. who knew his gait all right,
grinned, and dumped half the contents of
his bag of peanuts into the elderly man’s
hands. The latter ate those peanuts vo
raciously for the remainder of the trip
across, and when he disembarked he led
the newsboy up to a peanut stand and
bought him a whole armful of ’em. The
elderly, military-looking man was Maj.
Gen. Wesley Merritt, who’s now going out,
I see, to help George Dewey run that new ,
acquisition of ours, the Philippine Islands.”

COMMENCEMENT SENSATIONS.
STRONG FIGHT TO BE MADE TO
OUST CHANCELLOR BOGGS.
Prof. J. B. Hunnicutt Also Likely to
Be Removed—Chancellor and Sev
eral of the Professors to Be Scored
by the Board of Visitors for Lack
of Discipline—A Number of
Changes In the Faculty.
Athens, Ga„ Jutae 11.—The remaining
days of the university comencement are
sure to bring forth sensational develop
ments.
The election of a chancellor and faculty
has been postponed until Tuesday, and at
that time a number of trustees, now ab
sent, will be here.
It is beyond dofibt that an effort will be
made to oust Chancellor Boggs, and those
in a position to know believe he will be re
pioved.
It is also probable that Prof. J. B. Hun
nicutt of the chair of agriculture* will be
removed. It is being urged against him
that in his testimony before the Blalock
committee he made a wholesale attack on
certain members of the board of trustees.
His friends are making a vigirous fight
for him, however.
The board of visitors will, in all prob
ability, score the chancellor and several
professors as to lack of discipline in the
university.
This morning it was decided by the trus
tees to place the fraternity chapter houses
under the strict surveillance of the facul
ty and chancellor. They regard these
houses as experiments, and while no bad
features have as yet developed, still it is
thought best for the chancellor and faculty
to look carefully after them.
The resignation of Prof. L, H. Char
bonnier as professor of physics was ac
cepted, and Prof. A. P. Patterson was
chosen in his stead. Prof. Charbonnier,
who had been connected with the univers
ity thirty years, resigned in order to move
to Augusta and live with his daughter.
Prof. Patterson has been adjunct profes
sor of physics for several years, and is
in every way qualified for the position to
-which h«>. was: efeciAd yesterday...
The resignation of Prof. O. H. Sheffield
as adjunct professor of engineering was
accepted, but the vacancy was not filled.
Prof. Sheffield* resigns to take up the
active work of engineering, and will prob
ably go to Minneapolis.
Leave of absence for one year was grant
ed to Prof. Cj H. Herty, in order that he
might pursue advanced studies in Eu
rope.
Prof. C. M. Strahan was made inspector
of buildings and grounds in the place of
Prof. D. C. Barrow, resigned.
Prof. D. C. Barrow was elected dean of
Franklin College in the place of Prof. L.
H. Charbonnier, resigned.
Prof. Sheffield’s resignation leaves a va
cancy that will be filled by a man who will
also be commandant of the university ca
dets.

SHAM BATTLE AT CHICKAMAUGA.
First Kentucky Regiment Arrives
With 1.350 Men. *
Chickamauga National Military Park,
Ga., June 11.—This was Pennsylvania day
in Camp Thomas. Gov. Hastings and par
ty went to camp this morning in their pri
vate car.
Gen. Brooke ordered a review of the
Pennsylvania troops in honor of the gov
ernor.
A new postoffice, or rather a distribut
ing station of the Chattanooga office, has
been erected and is now in charge of 21
postal clerks. The business handled by this
station to-day was 175,000 letters received
and distributed, not to speak of papers and
packages.
The famous First Kentucky Regiment ar
rived in Chattanooga this morning at 6
o’clock, and reached the park at noon. The
regiment is tife first to reach Camp Thom
as with its full quota of men, the number
on the muster rolls including officers, be
ing 1,350. The regiment is commanded by
Col. John B. Castleman, an ex-Confederate
veteran, who was one of Morgan’s most
trusted staff officers. The men are thor
oughly equipped with uniforms and guns.
The event of to-day was the execution
of Gen. Fred Grant’s battle problem. In
this problem were a number of new and
difficult maneuvers, and it was watched
with great interest by thousands of officers
and men.
The new maneuvers were all carried out
according to Gen. Grant’s excellently con
ceived plan, and the fact was demonstrat
ed that many of them would be very useful
in actual conflict.
The battle began at 7 o’clock, and was
concluded before noon.
Gen. Grant to-day received orders from
Gen. Brooke to report to the First Corps'
headquarters for assignment. It is be
lieved that he will be given a brigade in
the first division of the First Corps, which,
it is thought, will lie the next contingent
to be ordered to the front.
Five cars of artillery equipment arrived
to-day, and will be distributed to-morrow.
Gen. Brooke announced to-day that he
had completed arrangements by which
army equipments, ammunition, etc., would
hereafter not go by the way of the Co
lumbia arsenal, but would come here di
rect, thus obviating any further delay in
fitting out the troops.

EVANGELINA’S WEDDING.
The Trouble Lieut. Carbonel Had in
Getting; His Bride.
Mrs. Carlos P. Carbonel, nee Senorita
Cossio y Cisneros, the fair Cuban, whose
romantic story is familiar in almost every
household in the country, is still in the
city. She and her husband have been
spending a couple of days at the De Soto,
and will leave to-day for Jacksonville. Mr.
Carbonel, formerly connected with the Hi
dalgos of Havana, is private secretary to
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee and is going to Jack
sonville to join him.
The story of Lieut. Carbonel and Miss
Cisneros’ courtship is a romantic one.
Their love began when Miss Cisneros was
rescued from a Spanish prison.
It was a case of love at first sight, and a
few weeks ago it was announced in Wash
ington that the young couple were to be
married.
Mr. Carbonel had declared his intention
of becoming a citizen of this country.
Some of his friends in Washington went
to President McKinley and asked for a
* 7
CO'NE l .7
commission in the army for the young
man. The President was informed that
his services would be of great value to
the United States, because of his thor
ough knowledge of the country round
about Havana, and sent his name to the
Senate to be a lieutenant.
The nomination was promptly confirmed,
and Lieut. Carbonel was ordered to Jack
sonville for duty. It was made known to
him that when the real army of invasion
starts ' for Cuba he w*> , A--H-'<*spebted to go
along, and so It was arranged that his
wedding should takrf place at once.
The invitations to.the wedding had been
issued, and the event was to take place
at the home of Mrs. John A. Logan, who
has been the good friend of Miss Cisneros
since she reached Washington.
When the lieutenant reached the capital
late Wednesday afternoon he sought Ee
nor Gonzale de Quesada, the charge de
affaires of the Republic of Cuba in Wash
ington, and with him proceeded to the
office of the clerk of courts to procure a
wedding license. There the great stumb
ling block was met with in the form of
the revised statutes of the United States.
In the case of lieutenant Carbonel every
thing was all right, for he is now a citi
zen of this country, but according to the
law of the land, which applies with partic-
I ,1;
ular force to the District of Columbia, it is
illegal to issue a marrige license to a per
son who is not a citizen of the United
States, unless that person be accompanied
by the minister or consul from that coun
try to testify that the case is correct and
proper.
Senor Queseda offered such testimony
in behalf of Miss Cisneros, but he was re
minded by the clerk that he was not recog
nized at Washington as the representative
of the Republic of Cuba, and, further, and
more to the point, the Republic of Cuba Is
not recognized in Washington. So no li
cense could be issued.
Later in the evening the clerk called
upon Senor Quesada at the headquarters
of the Republic of Cuba, at the Raleigh,and
offered a He told him that in
Maryland there is no law that prevents a
citzen of a foreign country from procur
ing a marriage license, and suggested to
him that the young couple go to Baltimore
and be married there. The suggestion
was a.ccepted, and the wedding took place
at the Hotel Rennert in Baltimore Thurs
day. The next day Mr. and Mrs. Cabonel
came to Savannahi
FLANAGAN’S HARD FIGHT.
Motion for a New Trial of His Case
to Be Heard Tuesday.
Atlanta, Ga., June 11.—A motion for a
new trial in the case of E. C. Flanagan,
the noted DeKalb county double murderer,
who has already been tried three times,
and is now condemned to death, will be
beard by Judge Candler next Tuesday.
The motion was set for to-day, but the de
fense was given further time to perfect
its papers.
The main ground for the application is
an affidavit that W. B. Owens, one of the
jurors, stated before the trial that Flan
agan was sane and ought to be hanged
for his crimes.
Owens has admitted that when asked
casually if he did not think Flanagan sane
and deserving of the death penalty, he re
plied in the affirmative.
He, however, declares that he was im
partial on the trial, and would not have
served if he had been prejudiced.
Owens is a good citizen of DeKalb coun
ty. and the state will oppose vigorously a
tew trial on his account. .

Sees No Good Ground for the Pro
posed Annexation of Hawaii.
Washington, June 11.—The Hawaiian de- fe
bate in the House began to-day. Six ■
speeches were made, covering generally
the contentions of the support and opposi- ■
tion to the resolution providing for an- ■
nexation. xl
Proceedings began with a mutual with- ’
draw’al by Mr. Grosvenor, Rep., of Ohio, ,
and Mr. Swanson, Dem., of Virginia, of
uncomplimentary and "injurious lan
guage” used by them relative to each oth
er in the heat of debate Thursday night,
when the revenue conference report was
under consideration.
Mr. Hitt, Rep., of Illinois, chairman of
. the committee on foreign affairs, opened
the Hawaiian debate, advocating annexa
tion.
Mr. Hitt quoted many naval authorities
in assertion that possession of the islands
was of great importance, and pointed out
that no fleet could come from Asiatic wa
ters to operate against the Western coast
without stopping at Hawaii tor supplies
and recoaling. The control of the islands
would be praoticaly an effectual barrier to
attack upon our western interests.
Mr. Hitt paid a tribute to the character
of the Americans who have established a
republic in place of a monarchy in Ha
waii, and who now dare to act Independ- _
ently of the world in the time of the Span-,
sh-Atnecican war. ' I *
Mr. Dinsmore, the ranking Democi
upon the committee of foreign affairs,
opened the debate in opposition. He de
clared his belief that no constitutional
power existed tq annex by joint resolu
tion, as was proposed, and he opposed an
nexation as being undesirable. It would
be, he insisted, the first step upon a policy
of colonial aggression, in antagonism to
the established rule of the government,
and added that the reaching out into for
eign lands and the establishment there of
American institutions would necessitate
the abandonment of the Monroe dictriue.
Replying to those who contend that Ha
waii is a commercial and naval necessity
as a mid-ocean supply station, he declared
there was already a route to Yokohama,
Hong Kong and to Manila from San
Francisco byway of the Aleutian Islands,
American possessions, 800 miles shorter
than the Hawaiian route.
Mr. Clark, Dem., of Missouri, opposed
the resolution, spoke against an enlarged
colonization policy as something “gorgeous
in appearance, but fatal in experience, or
else all history is a lie.”
As a member of the foreign
affairs, he said Gen. Schofield had testified
before the committee that Pearl harbor
was the only harbor in Hawaii that could
be fortified, and “that,” declared Mr.
Clark, “is under the control of this coun
try and from a military standpoint we need
no more. He said the population of the
island was undesirable, and its entry as an
element in our citizenship likely to bring
injury to the social and governmental es
tablishments of this country.
“The jingo bacillus,” declared Mr. Clark,
“is indefatigable in its work,” and pro
ceeding, he said, the proposed annexation
of Hawaii would be the entering wedge
to a policy that would not end until the
American territorial enlargement had gone
to the extent of including the earth.
“Mr. Speaker,” declared the Missouri
member, in a characteristic burst, “it this
policy is pursued as the jingoee want it,
and you are here presiding over the House
twenty years hence, you will be called up
on to recognize the gentleman from Pata
gonia, the gentleman from Cuba, the gen
tleman from Porto Rico, the gentleman
from Greenland, the gentleman from Hong
Kong, the gentleman from Fiji, and, with
fear and trembling, the gentleman from
the Cannibal Islands, as he gazes witl»
gleaming eyes and glistening teeth upon
your imposing and tempting self.” A
great laugh followed this prediction from _
the Missourian.
Mr. Parker, Rep., of New Jersey, was
presiding, Mr. Reed occupying tempora
rily a seat upon the floor. Th£ laughter
was renewed when Mr. Clark added, “It
is unnecessary to say I prepared that for
the regular occupant of the chair.”
The House at 4:45 adjourned.
NEW WARRANT AGAINST MOODY.
Obtaining Goods tnder False Pre
tenses the Charge.
Atlanta, Ga., June 11.—Two new war
rants were sworn out to-day by Edward
Hller of New York, agalnet John T.
Moody, of Moody & Brester.
Bonds were given? in the ot 11,000,/
each signed by A. M. RobtfiSQD, Hugh. T.
Inman and John K. Ottley. jjK
The charges under the new waranKj
are for misdemeanors, as was the first'V
one on which the original arrest was \
made last Saturday.
They are based on the allegation that
Moody, for the purpose of defrauding
Brown & Co., of New York, whom Mr.
Hiler repreeents, made false statements
to the tatter and thus obtained credit to
a large amount.
It is charged that Moody was fully ac
quainted with the condition of the firm’s
finances and that he was a party to a
scheme to purchase a large stock of goods
and fail full handed.
Moody will not be tried for several
weeks. He was to have been tried on the
first warant yesterday, but the case was
put off till the July term of the City Court,
