He is DetorT.incd That Cuba Shall be Free But He Will Place the Onus of War Upon Spain. Washington, March 31. —The news today is in exact accord with that program of •the administration already outlined. There are fr.-sh assurances that that program still remains unaltered. 1. An immediate truce pending negotia tions between Cuba and Spain for peace. 2. Recognition by the 'United States of the gallantry achieved and heroically n; 11i .! d . n 1. b n os Cuba. 3. Immediate relief for the unexampled districts on the island caused by General 'Wcyler’s savage edict of “concentration.” 4. The offer of the friendly services of the United States in the negotiation of peace, if desired by both paties. In the negotiations ifow in progress, the president is willing to go to reasonable lengths to save Spain’s “Face,” as the Chinese term it. A popular misapprehension should be corrected. By the Constitution of the United States the legislative branch is not associated with the president in the con duct of inter .-ourse with foreign nations, except in three points: J. Selection of the nation’s diplomatic representatives. 2. Ratification of treaties. 3. Declaration of war. A word as to the President 'McKinley’s flimn ss. An impression es pliability and indecision is created iu the public' mind by the fact that the president has not an nounced tb the nation a fixed and irredu cible policy. There is reason to believe that the im pression is a wrong one. The president is striving ncerely and most earnestly to effect his program by peaceful negotiations rather than by war. Therefore, as shown above, the program necessarily must re main for the president to be as firm and forceful in war as he is friendly and -con ciliatory in peace. Finally, will there be war? It looks very expectable, but Spain and not the United States must choose. The above program will be enforced ex cept the fourth point, which is only a friendly offer. If Spain shal accede, there will lie no war. Should she refuse, war must follow. State of Ohio, City of Toledo, —ss Lucas County. Frank J.

Many odd incidents befall the guberna torial candidates who are so industriously touring the state at present, and a good many of them will some day be printed. But here is one that may be told at once: The other day Senator Berner was trav eling from Macon to Americus, and, ac cording to a special in the Atlanta Con stitution, occupied a seat in the passenger coach with Dr. Golden, 'a well known Bap tist divine of Cuthbert- Like everybody else, they were talking about -the prospects of war. and they drifted gradually into a discussion of the comparative strength of the European nations. Dr. Golden spoke of the formidable army and navy of Eu rope, and its wonderful fighting capacity. ‘‘That’s all true,” said Senator Berner, “but 1 have recently been reading of the (Russia, and am just beginning to realize her power. When I went to school I used to think, from st miring my Georgraphy, that Siberia was a cold, barren trackless waste, valuable in no way except as a po litical prison. But I have just finished the remarkable works of George Kennan on Russia and Siberia, and he has given me an insight into those countries that is al most unbelievable. For hundreds of miles north and south Siberia is as fertile as oar own great wes', occupying about ttie same latitude as lowa. He tells of the stories of the minerals, and his description of the wheat crop amt the agricultural prospects ought to awaken the world tp a knowledge that it has never had before.” ks Senator Berner spoke a fellow -pas senger. sitting just across the way. eyed him rather curiously. He was tall. slim, broad-shouldered man. with strong feat ure.se, real black eyes, and a figure de noting tremendous muscular strength. When the senator paused the stranger turned toward him and said: “I .too. am very much interested in the countries of which you speak, and I agree w th you that either in times of peace or war t would be well for rhe world to ap preciate their strength and resources." ‘1 wish I could tell you more.” replied the senator with that spirit of democracy w Meh makes? all men kin on railroad trains, but the most that I can do is to advise you tn read Mr. Kennan’s writings. They are no: only exhaustive treatise on the-subject, but are wonderfully well writ ten." "Thank you." said the stranger, smil ing. “I wrote them myself.” And he handed to Senator Berner a card inscribed: "Mr, George Kennan. New York.” He was on his way to fill a lecture en gagement in Columbus, and when the senator's astonishment died down, all three gentlemen fell into a discussion that caused the other passengers in the car to lay aside their newspapers and listen. When Mr. Kenfian next appears in Forsyth he will be Senator Berner’s guest. A Texas Wonder.

WAR WOULDN’T STOP THEM. Coastwise Steamers Would Continue Run ning. The officials of the Ocean Steamship Company have noticed no decrease in the freight handled by their lines since the war scare has been on, says - the Savan nah Morning News. It has been stated that shippers have been holding back stuff with the view of inducing the steamship companies all along the coast to name lower rates in order to get a chance w handle the freight. It was said the ship pers make show of being afraid to ship on account of the probability of war and the uncertainty of frei-ght reaching its destination and being properly disposed of. This may be the case at some points, but the officials say that it is not true of Sa vannah. There has been only one product on which receipts have fallen. This is cotton, many of the interior dealers having ceas ed buying. This affects the railroads and also the coast vessels, as much cotton is shipped to the European ports via New York and Boston. The buyers have sus pended operations on account of the un certainty of the situation in so far as war is concerned. Speaking of the course to be pursued by the steamship line in the event of war. Vice President Eagan said yesterday that its vessels would probably continue to be run. iie admitted that th* pasesnger lists would naturally decrease, but said that provisions for their accommodation and entertainment would probably be main tained. There would be a great deal of freight to be shipped even in time of war, and the steam-ship line would be right in for its transportation. Mr. Egan said an additional expense for the operation of the vessels with this coun try at war with another would be encoun tered in insurance. War rates are very high, as the probabilities of a vessel being captured or sunk is not regarded as slight. The vessels of all the coastwise lines would doubtless continue to be run as long as freight was offered them and the insur ance companies did not demand too high rates. AN ENTERPRISING DRUGGIST!

Miler, of South Bethany, who came to this city about two riionths ago, surrendered himself and pleaded guilty to bigamy, was acquitted in the circuit court here Satur day afternoon. Miller acknowledged that he was mar ried to Charlotte Wyman in September, 1895, in Belmont county, 0., separating soon after and coming to South Bethany. A few months later he was notified by his brother in Belmont county that his wife, whom he had left, had secured a divorce. Miller then courted and married Miss Nettie Griffin at South Bethany on the first anniversary of his firsj marriage. About a year later a babe was born to them. Soon after it developed that the first wife had secured no divorce. Mr. and Mrs. Miller then separated until the matter was lawfully settled. The court exonerated Mr. Miller from all criminal intent, but ruled that his mar riage to Miss Griffin was illegal and void and that if he desired to continue living with his second wife he would have to se cure a divorce from his former wife, pro cure another marriage license anti have the second marriage ceremony performed. WILL CARRY A BIG CROWD. t Game of Ball at Milledgeville Will be Very Interesting. The first game of college ball of the season will be played at Milledgeville Sat urday between Milledgeville and the Mer cer teams, zl large crowd of Macon people will go over to Milledgeville on that day and cheer the Macon boys on to victory. It is said that the Milledgeville team is stronger than it has been for years, and that they will make it interesting for the Mercer boys. At the first of the season it was thought that the Milledgeville boys woubld not be abel to get a team at all, but some of the boys .went to work and got up a team that is said to be exceedingly strong. The Central railway has granted a spe cial rate of 75 cents for the round trip, and several extra cars will be carried over to accommodate the crowds. HOW TO LOOK GOOD. Good looks are really more than skin deep, depending entirely on a healthy con dition of all the vital organs. If the liver is inactive, you have a bilious look; if your stomach is disofdered. you have a dyspeptic look: if your kidneys are af fected, you have a pinched look. Secure good health, and you will surely have good looks. “Electric Bitters” is a good Altera tive and Tonic. Acts directly on ath, liver and kidneys, purifies the blood, cures pimples, blotches and boife, and gives a good complexion. Every bottle guaranteed. Sold at H. J.

For about a half hour prccecdjng the regular lecture Mr. Dixon spo-ke of the conditions in Cuba, and said that he saw no way to avoid conflict with Spain, and that Cuba must be free. His lecture proper was a delightful dis course -and he held the attention of the audience throughout his remarks. Tia fes- . linile x z 1 ** w FOR THE NEW BOAT.

Something in the Wind That Means a Big Improvement. There is something in the wind, and Macon will be the beneficiary. A hint dropped this morning and a sub sequent happening disclosed the whole thing, but on account of the importance of it qnd the fact that the. parties interested have shown positively that the publication of the f-acis now would-, in all probability upset the plans that have been forming for some time—months, in fact—the mat ter is withheld for.the present. It will interest Macon people, however, to know that there is good news in store for them, and when it is known it will be admitted that it is better than anything that has happened here for the last ten years. Singularly enough, the whole thing has been kept a complete secret, and those who are principally concerned have not told anyone. The nc-cessity for secrecy was imperative but in a few days, it may be hours, the News will be in possession of the facts. Tne fact of the matter is that there is something going to happen that Macon has beeen crying for for many years. * It will mean the employment of a large number of hands and the saving of a large sum of money to the city annually. FULL OF INTEREST . Wil! be the Meeting of the Carnival Com mittee. The meeting of the executive commit tee of the Carnival Association tomorrow afternoon will be .full of interest. At one time it was thought advisable to suspend the preparations for .the carni val until it was known whether war would interfere with the plans or not, but it is the opinion of the committee that if there is war it will be -all happily over before the Macon Carnival, in which event 'the carni val will 'be in place and a great many preparations can be made now without running any risk. At least all these mat ters will be discussed at the meeting to morrow afternoon and the reports of the sub-committees will be interesting. The meeting will .be held at the rooms of the Chamber of Commence. PUNCH ROBERTSON At the Academy Next Week—Great Popular Price Attraction.

Priceless Pain « “If a price can be placed on pair, ‘Mother’s Friend ’ is worth its weight in gold as an rdlevi otor. My wife sufterea r.iore in ten minutes with either of her other two children than she did al together with her last, having previously used four bottles of ‘ Mother’s 1-ri: nd.’ It is a blessing to any one expecting to become a mother,” says a customer. Thus writes Henderson Dale, Druggist, of Carmi, 111., to the Bradfield Regulator Company, of Atlanta, Ga., the proprie tors and manufacturers of “ Mother’s Friend.” This successful remedy is not one of the many internal medicines ad vertised to do unreasonable things, but a scientifically prepared liniment especially effective in adding strength and elasticity to those parts of woman’s organism which bear the severest strains of childbirth. The liniment may be used at any and all times during pregnancy up to the very hour of confinement. The earlier it is begun, and the longer used, the more perfect will be the result, but it has been used during the last month only with great benefit and success. It not only shortens labor and lessens the pain attending it, hut greatly dimin ishes the danger to life of both mother and child, and leaves the mother in a con dition more favorable to speedy recovery. “ Mother’s Friend ” is sold by druggists at si.oo, or sent by express on receipt of price.
