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.” FRATERNITY MEN WILL BANQUET.

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. CzkSTOaUX.T. 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. FROM A DISTINGUISHED EDUCATOR. I have found Cheney’s Expectorant su perior to anything I have ever tried for colds and bronchial trouble.

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.
