SENATOR BACON
ISHOME,
He Came Down From Wash
ington Last Nighton Per
sonal Business.
. Hi TALKS Os WAR
Resolutions and Defines the Posi
tion Taken By the Georgia
Delegation.
Senator A. O. Bacon reached 'Macon last
night from Washington to look after some
personal matters here and will return this
afternoon.
The senator’s friends are congratulating
him on all sides today on the position he
has taken on the war resolutions.
Everybody 'wanted to know something
about the probable duration of the iwiar,
and what is though of it at Washington.
“The attention of Congress is now on
the war revenue bill,” he said. ’’That is
now in 'the house, and will be taken up in
the senate next week.”
As to when it will be disposed of, the
senator said that it was impossible to tell,
as there are several important questions
involved in the bill which would likely
provoke debate. Prominent among th-ese
will be the proposition to issue bonds and
to levy certain taxes. The majority of
the Republicans, if not all of them, will
favor the issue of bonds and the Demo
crats, with few exceptions in each house
will oppose a bond issue.
Being asked by a representative of The
News in regard to his plan, Senator Bacon
said Tie could not go into details, but he
agreed in the main with the position taken
by the Democrats in the house. He said
he should oppose the issue of bonds so long
as the government could issue greenbacks
without 'material depreciation, and he had
no idea that limit would be reached. A
bond is a promise of the government to
pay, he remarked, and ia greenback is a
promise given by the government to pay.
The difference is that one bears interest
and the other does not. The senator added
that, of course, 'he meant a redeemable
greenback. He would also favor the coin
age of the silver seniorage and the issu
ing of silver certificates against the silver
dollars just as iwe have now. There is
now lying in the treasury belonging to the
government forty odd million dollars in
silver, perfectly- idle and doing nobody any
goo J. This does not include the silver
against which the treasury notes have been
issued. Both of these propositions, he un
derstands, are being advocated in the
house, and they will be supported in the
senate.
“In other words,” he continued, “as ,we
unhappily have war, we are going to try
as far as possible to protect the people
from burdensome taxes. There is one
thing in particular that the Georgia dele
gation already have their eyes on, and that
is a tax which it is proposed to levy on
warehouse receipts. This will be opposed
bitterly. Judge Griggs has prepared an
amendment striking it out, and if that
fails, we will fight it hard in the senate.”
As to the passage of the Cuban resolu
tion, he said .that when it was evident that
war could not be averted, it was a duty
to present a solid front to the enemy. That
was the view taken of it 'by the Georgia
delegation after consultation and careful
consideration. The delegation was for
peace and would gladly have averted war.
But when the president recalled the con
suls from 'Cuba, and practically called on
all Americans to leave the island, and
when he sent in his message to congress,
saying all efforts to maintain peace had
failed, and asked congress to authorize him
to use the army and navy to forcibly inter
vene in Cute, war was made inevitable,
and the peace men were powerless to avert
it. The only thing left then was to get
into line and try to shape things to the
best advantage. “If,” he added, “the
president 'had held out the slightest hope,
or if he had asked for more time, some,
and I believe all, of 'the Georgia delegation
would have actively supported his posi
tion.
“Under these circumstances, it would
have been unfortunate for the South to
have held back and made division.”

MACON NEWS FRIDAY EVENING. APRIL 29 1898
FAMILY FLED
FROM HAVANA
Frightened By Threats That
City Should Be Destroyed
Before Captured.
KU Os FAMILY TALKS.
Says the Cubans Are in Far Worse
Condition Than Has Been Pic
tured in the Papers.
A family of Cubans have taken refuge
in Atlanta, according to the Journal. They
give their reason for leaving the Gem of
the Antilles that vows have been registered
by the Spanish officers in Havana that
they- will reduce the city- to a mass of
smouldering ruins before it shall be per
mitted to fall to the insurgents or to the
Americans.
Not only- has there 'been a threat to re
duce the public buildings and all the
houses of the people to ashes, but the word
has gone forth that every Cuban sympa
thizer in the city will be slain. The wrath
of the Spanish throne is to be visited upon
even the most distant relatives of 'the men
who have joined the insurgents.
The fear aroused in the breasts of the
Cubans by these terrible threats led many
of them to leave the island before the
blockade was begun by the 'United States.
Among those who have sought refuge in
this country are Senora Virginia Herrera,
her daughter, two sons and four sisters,
who arrived in ‘Atlanta a few days ago.
This family has suffered greatly from
Spanish oppression. ’ They were at one
time among the wealthiest and most prom
inent people of Havana, but have lost al
most all of their possessions.
The father of Mrs. Herrera was a pro
nounced annexationist, while a number of
her other relatives have been connected
with the insurgent forces. One of her
cousins was recently 'taken from his wife
and six children and thrust into prison be
cause his brother was an insurgent.
Mrs. Herrera was seen by a Journal re
porter yesterday morning, and with 'the as
sistance of Mr. Michael Pla, who acted as
interpreter, she spoke of the conditions in
Cuba as follows:
“We left Havana because of the threats
made by- 'the Spanish soldiers. They said
that not a single Cuban would be permit
ted to live to see the city fall into the
hands of the insurgents or the 'Americans.
They said that before they would allow
Havana to bo taken they would burn it to
the ground and kill every Cuban there.
“A great many families like us were
frightened and ran away to escape so hor
rible a fate.
“The suffering in the city of Havana is
worse than you can have imagined, no
matter how awful the .accounts you have
read may have seemed. The people have
died by thousands from starvation, and
from diseases brought on by their miser
able condition.
“The prices of everything in Havana
have been very high and few people have
been able to purchase the necessities, not
to speak of the luxuries of life.
“When we decided to come to the United
States we were told- that we would surely
perish here. But we have been kindly
treated by the people of Atlafita and intend
to make our homes here. My- two boys
expect to make American citizens. One
of my sisters is a skillful needlewoman
and another is a good musician. We all
expect to work, and believe we can earn
our living here.
“My father was an annexationist. He
did not favor the government of Cuba
standing alone. He said he was afraid
the Cubans would inherit the vices of their
Spanish ancestors and prove ’cruel rulers.
For 'that reason he contended that Spain
ought to belong to the United States.”
The husband of ‘Mrs. Herrera 'has been
dead for some years and she is now the
head of the family. Her daughter is a very
beautiful young woman of the brunette
type. The sons are 16 and 14 years old
respectfully, and are both bright lads. The
elder was a student in a medical college
in Havana.

The fie-
MR. BOIFtUILLET IN QUITMAN,
Achieves Great Success in His Tribute to the
Brave.
The following is from yesterday’s At
lanta Constitution:
Quitman, Ga., April 27.—Hon. John T.
ißoifeuilet, of Macon, was Die toast of the
day yesterday on account of the very- elo
quent memorial address delivered by him
under the auspices of the Ladies’ Memo
rial Association and the Daughters of the
•Confederacy.
Ex-Congressman Henry G. Turner was
one of the many who walked to the stage
to congratulate Mr. Boifeuillet, and Colo
nel Turner told him that it was one of
the most eloquent addresses he had ever
'heard. Hundreds of ladieis crowded around
IMr. Boifeuillet to shake his hand and
thanked him particularly for the 'beautiful
tribute he paid the women of the South
for the noble pant they took during the
war in nursing the sick and wounded and
performing other patriotic deeds. In re
ferring to the impending conflict between
the United States and Spain, and what was
the duty of all true Americans, iMr. Boi
feuilet paid a glowing tribute to 'the valor
of Fitzhugh Lee, which enlisted .terms of
applause, and many in the audience were
ready to enlist then and there for the war,
as he depicted in vivid colors Fitzhugh Lee
at the head of an army "marebing,” ias
Mr. 'Boifeuillet said, under the gorgeous
ensigu of tihe American republic to tear
down Spain’s bloodstained 'battle flag at
Moro castle erect the altars of liberty on
Cuban soil, break the yoke of Spanish des
potism and oppression, and avenge the
treacherous death of the brave men of the
Maine.”
Mr. Boifeuillet was driven in a handsome
eight-seated vehicle drawn by- beautiful
black horses, from the Hotel Marie to the
opera bouse. <He was accompanied in tihe
carriage by four lovely young ladies —
Misses McCall, Powers, Tillman and Ram
sey, and Hon. G. M. Hitch, member of the
legislature from Brooks, and Hon. Capers
Wade, editor of the Quitman Free Press,
and who will be in the next house of rep
resentatives from Brooks county.
Editor Wade was the very graceful mas
ter of ceremonies, and announced the va
rious parts of the program.
Hon. Calvin M. Hitch, who is a very
eloquent speaker, introduced Mr. -Boifeuil
let. At the conclusion of Mr. BotfeuiHet’s
address, to which mention has been made,
Editor Wade, in behalf of the Ladies’ Me
morial Association and the Daughters* of
the Confederacy, in a very appropriate
manner, presented Mr. Boifeuilet a large
basquet of beautiful flowers. Mr. Bo’feuil
let received them in fitting remarks, and
during his stay in Juiunan he was the
special guest of the Ladies’ Memorial As
sociation and the Daughters of the Con
■federacy, but he was elegantly entertain
ed at dinner by Hon. Calvin Hitch, at his
beautiful and hospital home.

INVADING 7r MYJ
GOING THROUGH.
The Troops that Will Pull
Down the Spanish Flag
.in Cuba.
Hundreds of car loads of troops will pass
through Macon in the next twenty-four
hours e.n route to Key West, Fla., to be
placed on transports and carried to Cuba,
and landed at some point on the coast.
These troops will compose the invading
army in Cuba.
The first installation reached Macon last
night.
Two batteries of the First artillery passed
through Macon at 5 o’clock yesterday af
ternoon on a special train bound for Key
West under rush orders.
The troops will be followed by others
now preparing to start from Chickamauga.
The special carrying the batteries arriving
here yesterday afternoon left Chickamau
ga yesterday morning under orders to
make the quickest possible time to Atlan
ta, and orders were issued for the train
to go to Macon and then on to Key West
without the slightest delay.
The troops which passed through yester
day afternoon were two batteries of light
•artillery, belonging to the First regiment
of artillery. They are batteries E and K.
under command of Captain Capron and
Lieutenant Lasker. The troops came to
Atlanta over the Western and Atlantic
and came over the Central of Georgia and
were hurried to Macon over that road and
then delivered to the Georgia Southern and
Florida and Plant System for Tampa, and
there they’ will take a steamer for Key
West today.
The special consisted of nine cars, car
rying about 80 men, eight light guns and
other accoutrements of the batteries. The
horses.and a part of the equipment of the
batteries were left behind on account of
the inability of the roads to furnish stock
cars at such short notice. The troops were
ordered late night before last to rnov • to
Key West immediately, and they’ left
Chickamauga early yesterday morning in
a great hurny.
Battery E. was formerly stationed at
■Washington, D. C., and battery K. was
formerly stationed at Fort Sam, Houston,
Texas. About forty men belong to tne two
batteries were left at Chickamauga.
The railway authorities had orders to
make the best time that they possibly
could, and the run to Macon was one of
the fastest that has ever been male over
that road. The authorities will not say
what the time was but they say ’.ha* they
did not lose a second’s time in making the
trip.
The train stayed in Macon only a short
while. It was turned over to the Georgia
Southern and Florida road here and they
took it to Palatka, where the train will be
started to Key West. General Passenger
Agon Macdonald went down with the
train.
The second train load reached Macon this
morning at 10 o’clock and was the Tenth
regiment of cavalry. They came direct
from Utah, and were under command of
Col. Albert Thorndyke. This was a regi
ment of colored soldiers. They came down
from Atlanta on the Central train and were
transferred to the Georgia Southern and
Florida here. The regiment stopped here
about two hours, and took the cavalry
horses out to feed them. There were 125
men in the regiment, and the train con
sisted of twenty-three cars.
Every artillery battery at Chickamauga
has been sent to Tampa, and every cannon
in the South has been ordered there. The
entire Ninth regiment of negro infantry
will also pass through. Thousands of men
will be whirled through on fast trains, and
Macon will have more soldiers here than
have been in this city since the days of
the civil war.
Thirty miles an hour is the minimum
limit allowed the railroads in which to get
the troops to Tampa. Urgent orders have"
been issued to the officers to get the sol
diers to the seat of . war at the earliest
possible moment, and the men who thought
that the troops were quartered at Chicka
mauga park camp for the summer are now
opening their eyes in startled surprise.
Another train of sixteen cars, carrying
one*battery of artillery,reached the city,
and just behind it are five solid trains
carrying each a battery with the horses
and accoutrements. This means that eight
large trains of troops and more than a
hundred cars come through in less than a
day.
This morning the Central railway sent
five special train equipments to Atlanta to
bring down the troops, and as soon as one
train reaches Macon and transfers the
troops to another road they are sent back
to Atlanta to get more. Some of the troops
from Atlanta will be brought down over
the Southern, and at least sixty-five car 1
loads will reach the city over that road
this afternoon or tonight.
The eight batteries which have been
sent from Chickamauga are: (Batteries F
and A, of the Second regiment; batteries
B and F, of the Fourth; batteries D and F,
of the Fifth, and batteries E and K. of the
First. There will be two other batteries
to come through tomorrow, and all will be
concentrated at the same point on the
coast before being sent to Cuba. Colonel
Randolph will have command of the di
vision of artillery, which is to be the first
to go to Cuba. He has not yet reached
Chickamauga, and will not be likely to
stop there, but will hasten to join his com
mand at Key West.
The two other regiments of troops which
will leave Chickamauga today are made
up entirely of negroes, with the exception
of the officers. They will go first to Tam
pa to join the other negro troops there, and
then the United States will have three
negro regiments at the front. The negroes
will evidently have the first showing, as
they are the first to go through.. The
Ninth cavalry regiment is one of the most
famous in the country. Its men are noted
for their recklessness and their rowdyism
alike. They have caused all sorts of
trouble at Chickamauga, and the officers
have had a hard time keeping them dis
ciplined.
Yesterday morning w’hen the order was
issued from the war department directing
that the cannon in the department be sent
to Tampa there was much conjecture as to
what the order meant, but when the news
came that the batteries w’ere being rushed
from the camp to Tampa it was at once
known that an invasion had begun, and
that it means only a question of a few’
days before the soldiers of the United
States are landed in Cuba.
Large crowds of people go down to the
trains to see the soldiers, and this morn
ing the railroad banks were literally lined
with them. The troops are leaving Chick
amauga as fast as the railraods can handle
them.
There is no special time to reach Macon.
They will come through every few hours
during the afternoon and night.
