fflf CONSULS
HWE RESIGNEO
The Suffering They Are Com
pelled to Witness is Too
Much For Them,
BARKER IS WELL IIIEB
And the Cubans Do Not Want the
President to Accept His
Resignation.
Washington, March 28 Major Foster R.
Winn, the well known newspaper cores
pondf nt, now in Cuba, writes as follows:
1 put in a day with Consul Barker. After
watching the distribution of supplies to
the recon centratios, Colonel Barker took
Senator .Money and myself to the orphans’
<lispt nsary.
This dispensary is managed by the char
itable ladies of the city. Thty keep a
trained nurse and cook, as well as a doc
tor, and when a baby is brought the doc
tor prescribes its diet as well as its med
icine. While the dispensary clerk is fill
ing his prescription, the cooks fills hers.
The nurse takes the babies in charges
end sees that those prescriptions are prop
erly administered.
Colonel Barker helps the ladies all he
can in this work, and furnishes most of
the medicines and condensed milk used at
the dispensay.
Barker has resigned as the United States
consul and is waiting for his successor to
arrive.
He says that the suffering he 'has been
compelled to witness during the past two
years has proved too much for him. Be
fore the people of the United States began
to send supplies Barker helped the suffer
ers at ids own expense.
He is loved by all who know him here,
and is the right man in the right place.
He was told by Senator Money that Sen
ator Proctor had wired the president not
to accept his resignation. Every con
gressman and senator who has visited
Sagua La .Grande has wired the same
thing.
Later in the day I called with the con
sul upon the mayor of the city. The
mayor was recently appointed by the new
autonomist administration. He is a native
born Cuban and does not conceal the fact
that his sympathies are all with the pa
triots. He does no believe in autonomy
nor does he believe that it will prove a
success. It. was very plain from his
statements that he wanted autonomy to
fail. He expl lined to mt that many sep
aratists had accepted office under the au
tonomist administration merely as a safe
guard. Spain had promised them autono
my in the last war, and as soon as the
•war was over they got the laugh. He said:
“If Spain shall start to play any of her
tricks now she will find the government
of the island already in the hands of the
Cubans. But,” he added, “we must in
sist on disarming the volunteers and the
•establishment of a Cuban malitia.”
The mayor said that he appreciated the
good work done for his people by our
consul, and he hoped the president would
refuse to accept his resignation.
Barker has not found such easy sailing
in the interior towns, though. There he
is opposed by the military commandantes
of small concentrado towns. A few days
ago he 'sent his consular agent out to these
places to ascertain just how many were
in need in such places. At Sagiche the
agent, on presenting his credentials to the
commandantes, was seized and thrown in
prison, where he was kept twenty-four
hours incommunicado.
Consul Barker reported the conduct of
the commandante to General Aguirre, the
military governor of the province. Gen
eral Aguirre answered that he thought the
clerk had fallen into the hands of a hu
mane man.
That had it been some officers they
would have killed the clerk for meddling
in their business. The general concluded
his letter by saying that he thought the
case was one in which neither he nor the
consular clerk had a right to meddle.
Barker took the clerk’s affidavit and
forwarded it, with a report of the case to
the state department at Washington. In
the meantime it was reported to General
Blanco, who at once reprimanded both
General Aguirre and the commandante for
not having settled the trouble there, in
stead of letting it go to Washington. Gen
eral Aguirre then went to the consular
agent and told him to make a new affi
davit. saying the other one was a mistake,
but the agent thought not. in spite of
Aguirre's threats refused to do as reques
ted.
They will begin shipping supplies into
the interior towns at once.

SWORD IN THE SKIES.
Phenomenon Seen at Fort Worth Yesterday
Morning.
Fort Worth, Texas. March 28.—A cu
rious phenomtna was visible here yester
day morning between 10 and 11 o'clock. A
man os nimbus like a rolled up cloud
about ten feet wide and apparently about
ten Teet high stretched across the horizon
north and south. Thousands of people
crowded the street a-nd superstitious dar
kies were very much excited.
The cloud, which was clearly defined,
gradually assumed the appearance of a
sword, the blade flecked with red. Peo
ple here regard it as a sure sign of war.
ROBBED DR. MONK
While He Was Preaching His Regular Sun

V lid L , 1 A 31 d r J a*
night between 7 and 9 o'clok, while Rev.
Alonzo Monk, pastor of the Centenary
Methodist cuurch, was holding services,
his residence, located a ■short distance
from the Church, was burglarized and
about five hundred dollars worth of his
property stolen. The thieves rai!».i<-g?l
every trunk, bureau, closet and desk in
the house, and secured, among other things
I). 1 . Monk’s diploma, all the gold medais
he won at college, a large bundle of his
strmons and private papers, Mrs. Monk's
gold watch and chain, several diamonds,
a lot of silverware, pictures an’ eaiua—in
short nearly every little treasure and me
mento Dr. and Mrs. Monk have gathered
fiom time to time since their childhood.
There is no clue to the thieves, but the
police think it was the work of profes
sionals, as a jimmy was used in prying
open drawers, etc.
BRITISH CRUISER
Cales at Savannah, and Takes in the
Town.
Savannah, Ga., March 28 —The British
third-class cruiser Cordelia arrived in Sa
vannah yesterday morning from St. Au
gustine. She is anchored near the foot of
Bull street, and will remain here until
Friday. The marines and saidors have
been taking in the city, and today the of
ficers have been entertained by prominent
Savannahians. Captain Burke, of the
Cordelia, telegraphed the English consul
at Charleston today that there was only
twenty-three feet of water on the bar. As
hp is drawing twenty-one feet, he is afraid
to make the attempt. After visiting Port
Royal, he will go further north. .

’’English Paint stops leaks, yes it do,”
has been seen by us. It must be so.
IT IS SO.
English Paint does stop leaks —“YES,
IT DO.
English Paint has one fault, viz:
HARVEY ENGLISH, Albany, Ga.
It won’t last forever, but on every roof
that I paint I give a written guarantee
that “if the above named roof leaks or
needs painting at any time within ten
years from date I am to do the work
needed without any expense to the owner
of building.
English Paint —-English Guarantee—is
good.
My price is 50c a square of 100 fpet.
I have pleased every one of my custom
ers—l can please you. Save your work for
me. I will be in Macon as soon as I
complete some work now under way in
Albany. I have contracted to paint the
Alliance warehouse. This makes the fifth
cotton warehouse in Albany that I have
naway one acre and Alliance one-half acre.
Cook’s half acre; Hall’s half acre; Gan
naway one acre, and Alliance one acre.
I don’t want you to think that I refuse to
paint small roofs. I paint all sizes, sorts
and conditions. I once upon a time paint
ed a roof for 25c and waited sixty
days for my pay. I don’t paint shingle
roofs, but I do paint gutters, valleys, etc.
As I will be very busy on my arrival in
Macon you will please send your address
on a postal to me in Albany and I will
call and see you about your roof. I can fix
it so that it won’t leak and it will stay
fixed.
