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. There would be no difficulty in getting a I regiment ot colored men tn this k.-ut leading colored nun are of the opin tbai there wouldn’t. It was announced | oome time ago that tour companleo of eol- H <H'<’d vcUumeers would l*e accepted from H Georgia, and that they would be a part of K a cokirvd regiment of Immunvs to i I BL <*U in this part of the South, but. as yet i 1 ■L Steps have been taken tn this city to en ■ |Ui colored men (or the at my.

I- ' 1 'e I \ ■ ' I ffigß that can be learned live war de I L |m>*H U ‘ u ‘ kjl lh -» l vxMMxd (XMnpanksl 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. "Fighting Bob” Evans' nightshirt hang ing on a line after having gone through the ship's laundry. The real office of the brave banner was explained to the Span iard. who withdrew with apologies. CI'HRKST COM'IEA'T. Georgia's Sext Governor. Memphis Commercial-Appeal (Dem.). The Democrats of Georgia have noml nated a fine old hayseeder for Governor. "Sot the Hight Word. From the Chicago Times-Herald (Ind.). The St. Petersburg Novosti says that "America must voluntarily submit her pretensions to a tribunal of the powers." Russia ought to know by this time that America doesn't understand the meaning of the word "must” as applied to any vol untary action. The General In Command. From the Richmond Dispatch (Dem.). Gen. Mlles has been clothed with vast authority, and so far as we are able to judge, he has been exercising it wisely, to the end that our military expedition to Cuba and Porto Rico shall not only be ftrify equipped to tight Spaniards, but to tight the more-t<>be-dreaded diseases of the country. And so our army and people probably have less cause for apprehension ou that score than » popularly supposed. 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.” New Version. A writer in the San Francisco News Letter says that a company of men were sitting on a hotel veranda in Honolulu, when some one proposed that each should tell a moral story, or pay a forfeit. Ail hands agreed to this except Cama rinos. a Greek, who is tn the fruit business, and reported to be wealthy. "I know lots in Gneek,” said Camarinos, "but I don’t know any in English.” "Greek don’t go here. Camarinos. You muh tell It in English, my son.” Camarinos looked puzzled when his turn came. He put his finger to his forehead, and then said, suddenly with a bright look’ *T have one.” "Let us have it,” was the cry. "W ell, I don’t know if I get him quite right.” "Oh. let’s have it.” "Well. then, it Is this: A brick which goes this way.” waving his hands to and fro, "catches no grass”—meaning, “A roll ing stone gathers no moss.” i ECZEMA FOR YEARS CURED TWO REMARKABLE CASES.

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. This morning the sophomore declamation contest took place, the following young men contesting for the silver cup: R. L. Denmark of Valdosta, R. V. Glenn of At lanta, W. J. Hammond of Thomasville, C. V. Hohenstein of Savannah. J. G. Jones of Carrollton, J. P. Mott of Johnst.onville, J. S. Roberts of Buchanan, R. H. Smith of Butler, J. L. Tyson of Garnett, S. C., E. B. Vail of Atlanta, C. E.

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. —This Escaped the Censor.—“ Well, Schley.” signalled the Spanish admiral, in a fine burst of sarcasm "do you want to make an even exchange of fleet**?” “By no meajis,” s<nalk>4 Commodore Schley in respotn-e "I expect to throw in a few bomb*.” Ciucago - - .

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. .

MAY HAVE A CANNIBAL MEMBER IF JINGO POLICY PREVAILS. Pictures Such a Representative Gaz ing With Gleaming Eyes and Glis tening Teeth on the Toothsome Occnpant of the Speaker’s Chair. 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,
