The Spanish torpedo flotilla has arrived

Genera! Blanco has the nerve to tell the
state department at Washington that there
is no danger of rioting in Havana by
Spaniards cr Cubans but that it is possi
ble Americans there may try to stir up
some kind of a rumpus, thinks an ex
change. No doubt they are anxious to
have a riot .started so they can go and get
themselves killed. That's like Mr. F.
Hopkinson Smith's idea that the Arme

that after they were dead their sad fate
would excite the sympathy of Europe.
Hon. Alfred Herrington is squarely in
the race for congress from this district,
says the Darien Gazette. He favors the
“old flag and an appropriation.” He says:
“If I could. I would double the appropria
tions for the Savannah harbor, quadruple
them for Doboy and the Altamaha river.
Indeed. I would increase them all along
the Georgia coast as far as within flay
power. While I would especially look
after the rural counties and the remote
sections of the . district. I would by no
means be forgetful of the trade centers,
where wealth and population aggregate.”
-
The retirement of Admiral Slcard at this
time calls attention to the fact that several
of the senior admirals are also likely to
be retired at an early date. The vacancies
thus to be created and the probable activi
ties of a naval warfare before us cause
much rivalry among the commodores, cap
tains and other officers of the navy. Al
ready the friends of the numerous aspi
rants are busy fostering the influences of
prominent men and officers in Washing
ton. The officers now favored by higher
assignment than their rank justifies are
being criticised, and their assignment
ascribed to influences potential in Wash
ington social life.
.War Seems InevHa t e
In the face of all that has occurred,
there are tho?t who still think, or pretend
to think, that there will be no conflict
between this country and Spain. And yet
they can g?ve'uo reason for the faith that
is in them.
Even to the most conservative an 1 hope
-171. the present situation must make war
seem inevitable Only the intervention of
a thfrT h'at'.or. can po-i-lb’y prevent a con
flict —and it is even probable that this
would merely serve to fan the flame. It
is not at all likely that tb. j j ngo spirit of
this country would now submit to such in
terference, and, try as we may, we can
find no possible loophole through which
President McKinley car. crawl back. He
has already made certain demands on
Spain, and these have been flung back into
his face, with the reply that his demands
are an insult.
To add to the gravity of the situation,
Congress Is impatient for final and defi
nite action cn the part of the president,
»md he has already been put on notice
that he must do somethin? by Monday
next. Else Congress will take the matter
into lt« own hands.
Spain would, no doubt, like to bring
about a peaceable settlement of the issue,
but she will not yield too much in an ef
fort to do th-.». The present Spaisn dy
nast?' values its own existence more than 1
the liv' of a few thousand soldiers and a
few millions of government money, and it
realizes that to back down now would
mean its overthrow.
The situation, therefor 0 seems highly ,
critical from both standpoints, and to
avert war i.- now next to impossible.

for the flag,
W» fear. th. 1 rn-Unlt>n. tlmt too |
mu h national conceit -rv’k-: the United i
States in this crisis ‘o sr.t-o an extent at
leant as to cau?r hasty conclusions as to
the weakness of our Eastern fee and the
strength of ourselves.
Anywhere from seven minutes to thirty
lays is the time assumed in the popular
mind to be required to wipe Spain from
the Western world. Do not let the people i
fool themselves. While ue can subdue and |
oring Spain to our f ci in the end, it will ;
be no festival occasion while it is being
done, nor can it be done in seven minutes, I
if in seven months. When the lion of war [
is awakened from his lair, and the dews
of peace are shaken from his mane and
the shouts and huzzas and drum and bugle
of contending hosts representing over '
110.000,000 human souls rend the air, it
will be no child’s play cr the explosion of
paper wads fired by the yellow journals.
It will be business from the start. The
horrid arm of war will be raised to strike
no telling where or when.
Nor should the cost in human lives of a
war, however brief, be underestimated.
Firs! of all would come some naval en
gagements. Under the conditions as. mod
ern naval warfare would be practi
cally sure death to all of the men on one
of the ships in a duel, and to a large pro
portion of those on -the other. It is esti
mated that in the first twenty minutes of
an engagement one-third of the men on
each ship are sure to be killed. The out
come of a. naval .battle, nine times out of
ten, will be the sinking of one vessel or
the other, with all on beard. The sur
vivor will have no means or opportunity
to save the wounded or the drowning.
Who can assume that in a naval engage
ment off Havana or off Key West the
American ship will certainly come out the
victor?
As for the army, probably no danger of
an invasion of an?' part of the United
States is to be anticipated. On the other
hand, the next move on the chessboard,
after the beginning of warfare, will be the
invasion of Cuba by our forces —infantry,
cavalry, and artillery. Napoleon used to
say that God was always on the side of
the heaviest battalions. In these days in
warfare he seems to be on the side of the
largest population, the greatest resources,
and the longest purses. But it is a vain
conceit to assume that Cuba can he freed
without great losses —if war shall come.
Yellow Jack has fought for the Cubans in
Cuba during the last three years, because
the troops from Spain have not been ac
climated. The same death, as well as that
from the bullet, will stare in the face tens
of -thousands of our young men if a sum
mer campaign in Cuba shall be under
taken. Death will lay low some thousands
of them. It is a false and foolish assump
tion that an invasion of Cuba will involve
no sacrifice of life —that it will be mere
nla?' Eke a militia encampment a: Talla
hassee.
Wbat blindness, then, for an American
senator to shriek for “glorious war.” He
is no patriot who. in this crisis, denounces
President McKinley for his conservative
course. The administration is bending
ever?' effort to secure the cessation of hos
tilities in Cuba, the relief of the recon
centrados. the resumption of normal In
dustry. and Independence even, without
the shedding of the blood of the youth of
the United S’ates The independence of
Cuba may yet be achieved by diplomacy.
“War is bell.” Give the president a
chance to exhaust the resources of peace
for the accomplishment of the end that
we all wish for.
The Easter News.
Once more The News presents a special
Easter issue to its readers. The time was
when a sixteen or even twelve or eight
page issue of The News was something of
an undertaking, but they are no longer
unusual, and, with The News' increased
facilities, are turned out without an?’ con
siderable effort.
It is also a fact worthy of note that a
twelve, sixteen or twenty page issue of
The News is now more easily filled with
attractive and profitable advertisements
than at an?’ time in the papers’ history.
Indeed, so great has been the demand for
space in the Easter News that twenty
pages seemed necessary to accommodate
the business. This was only avoided by'
calling in the advertising solicitors.
It will be generally admitted, we think,
that no paper enjoys the patronage of more
representative advertisers than does The
News. Today’s issue contains the attrac
tive and interesting . bargain announce
ments of practically every prominent mer
chant of Macon, and it is to these that The
News would direct special attention.
If you have buying to do next week. Jet
the Easter News be your guide. Read
carefully its many bargain announcements,
and call on those merchants who make
you the offerings. Your business in
terests demand that you patronize those
who show their enterprise, progressiveness
and their ability to offer bargains by’ ad
vertising what they have to sell.

GUS FUMBLES
WILL NOT HANG
His Attorney Says He Has
Every Reason to Be
lieve This.
SENTIMENT IN TWIGGS
Is Against the Execution of the Ne
gro as He Was Only an
Accomplice.
The people of Twiggs county are very ,
much concerned as to what the governor i
will do with the case of Gus Fambles, the i
accomplice of Mr?. Nobles in the murder ,
of her husband. So far the governor nor I
the pardon board have stated what would i
be done with Fambles’ case.
The people of Twiggs have written to '
the governor asking that if the sentence '
of Mrs. Nobles is to be commuted that
they see no reason why that of Fambles '
should not. and they are seriously opposed ;
to any other disposition being made of the I
negro, for he was, in reality, a second
party to the murder.
Not more than two weeks ago Governor ;
Atkinson received a letter from the sheriff '
of Twiggs county. The case of Mrs. No- j
bles was then pending a settlement on the
application for clemency. The official
wrote ftiat if Fambles was sent there to be
hanged he had better be accompanied by a
company of soldiers. Otherwise he thought
that it would be impossible to hang the
negro.
Mrs. Nobles will be removed immediate
ly to the woman’s camp in Bllbert county,
I where she will be kept until the state farm ■
is established. This camp is controlled by
W. H. Mattox, who works about sixty wo
men on his plantation. All the female con
victs are sent there.
It is understood that no report in the |
Fambles case will be made before Monday.
His respite expires on Friday next.
Fambles’ wife is now serving a life sen
tence for complicity in the murder of old
man Nobles. She was convicted with a
recommendation.
Fambles has heard what will be done
| with Mrs. Nobles, and is anxious to know
| what will become of him. He says he feels
| sure that the governor will not let him
i hang, as has promised him time and again
that if Mrs. Nobles was not executed that
he should not be.
