Welcome Leaguers.
Kpworth Leaguers are very welcome. A
body of Christian workers such as the Ep
worth Lt-aguers, representing as they do,
n vast body of members of the church mili
tant whose influence in Georgia is tremen
dous in very welcome to Macon. It is im
portant that when they leave they should
carry away with them a good impression
of the people of the Central City. Our
visitors today come from the Hills of
ilabersham and from the marshes of
Glynn. It kt a thoroughly representative
gathering of people; not only do they rep
resent the church but they -arc thoroughly
representatives of the very best business
element of the state. It is safe to say that
Macon has never entertained a more
thoroughly representative gathering of
Georgians.
It tak<« two people to make a bargain.
What If the Cubans refused to accept an
armistice.
Where Spain is Weak.
As the hour for a declaration of hostili
ties approaches, questions of attack and
defense assume the supremacy While it
Is true that Cuba and the waters encircling
Ihu Island will be the chief theater oi en
gagements, it must be remembered that
Bpain has other insular possessions in va
rious parts of tiie globe. These groups of
islands are easily assailable. The follow
ing array will s<rve to give an adequate
<-oneeption of 'the (Klints at which Spu.iu
would bo vulnerable:
(a) —lsland of Puerto Rico. It has an
area of 3,520 square miles and a popula
tion of nearly 1,000,000, of which three
fifths are white. It is exceptiomaliy fer
tile and has one of the finest harbors (San
Juan diautis-ta) in the West Indies.
(b) -The Canaries. The seven principal
Islaivda cover an area of 3,256 square miles
wnd hav-e a population of 300,000. The soil
is fertile, sugar, corn and potatoes being
tho chief productions. These islands have
been coveted by England for four centu
ries. She could utilize them to great ad
vantage, as constituting a station on one
of the routes to India.
(c.) —Tire Balearic Isles. They comprise,
approximately, 2,000 square miles, with a
population of 350,000. (Majorca (the largest
of the group) has an annual import trade
Os $8,000,000. Its twin (Minorca) boasts of
She best harbor in the Mediterranean, that
of Port Mahon. Any one of the great
Powers of Europe would like to own the
Island of Minorca.
(d)-—-The 'l'hillinpines. There are over
400 of these islands, the area of the largest
(Luzon) being 40,024 square miles. Manila,
the capital, has a population of 160.000.
(Most of the natives are Malays, with a
large resident Spanish population. Gold
mining is extensively carried on. The
principal products are hemp, sugar, coffee,
Jobaeeo leaf and indigo. In 1894 the total"
Imports were $28,530,000. This will give
an idea of the value of these islands.
<e)~ Now turning to the Iberian Penin
sula Itself, it can be seen that a Power
possessing the command of the sea could
subject to bombardment such cities as
Barceioaa, Cadiz, Valencia (it is only
Ihree miles inland), Alicante, Cartegena,
.Coruna, San Sebastian and Santander.
As Daniel Webster said: “There may be
blows to take as well as blows to give.”
Madrid papers have for weeks been harp
ing on our unprotected coasts. They have
been quick to perceive the mote, but are
blind to the beam. As soon as all of
Gpaln’e outlaying possessions have been
captured, attention could be directed to
Jive vulnerable objectives on the mainland.
The interview given out from the Cuban
Junta yesterday may have been bought.
If it was, and the probability is that it
was, the move was a very shrewd one. If
the people of these United States believe
It. the effect will be to neutralize public
(sentiment.
, Wilhelm May Meddle.
Kaiser Wilhelm, of Germany, is appa
rently anxious to gratify his propensity for
international meddling by putting his fin
der into the Cuban pie. Even the United
States had never heard of the case until
the German demand upon Spain was made.
Cannemaba is the name of a sugar refin
ery in Cuba owned and operated by Ger
man subjects. The insurgents raided and
burned it, looted the safe, killed four per
sons and wounded others. Germany now
puts in a claim for reparation and dama
geae against the Spanish government,
coupled with the information that if Spain
could not punish the insurgents for their
act, then she will do it herself; and the
cruiser Geier is dispatched to the island to
carry out the threat.
X\e can only conjecture the outcome of
this. It may be that Germany will ’get
herself involved in the dispute between
Spain and the United (Sates. It might be
within the range of possibilities for Spain
ta unload her claim to the island upon the
German (Emperor. The Cincinnati Times
btar fears some such outcome,' and says:
If Spam is forced to give up Cub% she
will make every effort to give it to an
European power, rather than to allow it
to be independent or attached in anv way
to the United States. This German indem
nity claim is her opportunity. “We admit
the claim, but being financially embar
rassed. we will give you a mortgage on the
island, where you can collect indemnitv
yourself.”
Thus Cuba will become a second Kiao-
Tchou. and Gomez will find himself fac
ing Krupp guns and Prussian helmets.
Os course, these things are remote pos
sibilities. for the United States, and prob
ably England would have a word to say
about German control of the West Indies
would, nevertheless, the a master stroke
on the part of decrepit Spain to get the
pugnacious William to take up a fight that
•he is about to give up under any circum
stances. 'And it is by no means likely that
William, with his head full of the divine
right of kings, would be delighted to
•trangle a new republic and insult the
pbampjQQ pl all republics.
All Right, So Far,
If General Lee has asked for delay, the I
president was bound to grant it. That's
all there*is about it. And this talk about
the delay and the desire on the part of the
president to wobble out of a difficult situ
ation —in other wonte to avoid war at any
price—may be dispelled at any moment
by the sending in of a message giving the
proper advice to congress. We fail to see
how the president of the United States j
•ouid d. lay the sending in of his tnr soage
once prepared, on any ether grounds than
a request from the consul in Cuba. If he '
has delayed the message on any other •
ground he will have incurred the con- ;
tempt of his own party and will bring i
down upon this country the sneers of the
whole world. Part we do not believe that
the president could have made such a fatal i
mistake. We believe that General Lee !
has asktd for delay aud that the president I
very properly has granted it. Had it been
otherwise, congress would not nave been
field off for five minutes. So far McKinley
has done wisely in not doing anything, but
he must do something That message mast
go in. It it does not the Republican party
is doomed.
A Cuban, living in Havana, a man of re
sponsibility and in a position to know the
sentiment of those bearing insurgent arms
and those that govern and control the in
surgent forces, states in a letter to a
prominent Cuban in Jacksonville, that un
der no condition, except absolute indepen
dence and liberty, will they lay down their
arms. No matter oif the whole world says
that they shall, no matter if the combined
armies of Europe shall conspire to force
them, the insurgents, he says, will not
yield, but will suffer complete extermina
tion first.
The Cubans seem to think that we are
taking them into consideration. The United
States will wipe the Spanish oft 'the face
of the Western H( misphere whether the
Cubans believe It or not. We have no
special love for the Cubans or any of their
I Infolk and what’s more, we don't want
Cuba.

for a primary for county offices, including
the legislature. will be fixed. Chairman
Powell takes the position that all counties
should conform to the recommendation of
the state committee in fixing Jone 6th
for a general primary, and that action on
the part of the county committee is un
necessary.

•HOW WAR IS DECLARED.
The Modern Custom is to Omit the Procla
mation.
The popular notion that a formal declar
-ation of war is necessary before active
hostilities 'begin is slightly erroneous. In
these modern days the- announcement is
often dispensed with. In what Macauiey
called the “days of old,” a declaration of
war was a solemn function. In mediaeval
times one royal warrior sent a letter
(signed by the ruler, (but written by a cler
ical scriviner) or warning and -defiance.
This was elaborating the -custom which
ruled in private quarrels of “throwing
down the gauatlett.”
In the Russo-Turkish war, which pre
ceded the Crimean war, the Czar issued
from Moscow a forma! proclamation of
war. In 1854 Great Britain and France
fought Russia. In that year the High
Sheriff of London made the announcement
of war from the steps of the Exchange.
In the Au&ro-Itaiian war in 1859, the
Austro-Prussian war of 1866, and the
(Russo-Turkish war of 1877, active hostili
ties begun on the same day of the de
claration of war. Coming to the Franco-
Prussian war of 1870, a formal declaration
was made before actual operations were
under way. On July 20th Bismarck laid
before the North German 'Confederation
the French government’s intimation of
what it intended to do. Os course, Prussia
and her allies were prepared and the se
quel showed how thorough had been their
preparation.
While it is true that the modern custom
is to omit the proclamation, one must not
get a wrong impression. War may declare
itself. In such instances the combatants
understand each other. However, if one
nation captures the ship of another on the
high seas and such capture had not been
preceded by a “fuss,” misunderstanding
of diplomacy or other indication of com
ing hostilities, the capture alluded to would
'be declared an act of piracy.
