S An Indefensible Fake.
'There waj considerable unnecessary cx
cii.ru. nt In late yesterday after
noon ..nd last night caused 'by the posting
of a laki bulletin, purporting to give the
particulars ol an illeg* <1 disastrous naval
mgagemeiii between Sampson's vessels
and the Spanish licet.
The bulletin in question created a pro
found si n ation throughout the eity, and
many p. opl> left their homes to secure
further particulars or to confirm those al
ready made public. The thoughtful ones
came dirett to The News' bulletin board,
knowing that Th. Nows, although it does
not publish-on Sunday, keeps the public
fully informed as usual by means of its
bulletin service. Finding no such sensa
tional report on The News' board, many
naturally grew suspicious, and after a few
hours the fact wa. clearly t staiblished that,
the bulb tin in question was a rank fake —
in fact, was merely a silly rumor heard
over the railroad wires, like dozens that
come from the same source almost every
day.
Any well-balanced new simper would rely
on the '.Associated I're.s entirely for news
of this character, unless it had a special
correspondent of its own on the scene, and
few, if any. would give publicity to a wild
rumor of this sort without, at least, call
ing attention to its probably untrustworthy
character. Indeed, not many papers would
notice such .1 rumor at all, except, perhaps,
to endeavor to have it confirmed if on the
face of it it appeared to lie probable.
'Hut certainly no newspaper that pre
tends to kt • p the public informed with re
gard to such happenings has a right to
post every Idle rumor that It can pick up,
and tn A’c'cr. public are justly incensed
that they were so outrageously faked on
this occasion.
It really seems that there are only six
days in the week on which the people of
'Macon and vicinity can get the news on
the day it happens that, is to say, news on
which they can rely implicitly. The News
lias hesitated to issue a Sunday paper, but
the demand for <i. and the provocation for
it is becoming .almost too strong to be re
sisted.
For the present, however, The .News will
content its. If with riving the public a full
and accurate Sunday 'bulletin service. Now
that the unreliability of other bulletins
has been so forcibly demonstrated. The
Nows will give closer attention to its Sun
day bulletins than ever, in order that the
ptrldie may get nows on which they can
rely as soon as it happens every day in
the week Como around next Sunday and
get full and correct information from the
• Associated Press wires, not supplements
'by idle rumors from dispatchers' offices
or elsewhere.
And the moral is, unless you see it in
The News or on The News’ bulletin board,
take it cum gravo sails.
An Important Week.
1 he present week promises to be one of
exciting events. All interest is centered
in ( üban waters. The Spanish fleet is
there and it will In sought by Admiral
'Sampson with dilligence. His orders are
to sink or capture it.
No one can say what Admiral Cevera’s
plans may be; but it is possible that he
proposes to run his fleet into some port,
where it can lie under the protection of
land batteries, in the hope of thus winning
a victory over Sampson.
There is a belief, that if Sampson gives
as good account of himself as Dewey, that
the result of the coming battle will be the
destruction of the Spanish armada. That
will open the way for unobstructed opera
tions against Cuba. The army of inva
sion will land, and a vigorous campaign
will speedily reduce Havana and subdue
the Spanish land forces.
Only the fleet at Cadiz will be left to
Spain. With the Atlantic fleet destroyed,
the Spanish will not send that fleet to'Ma
nila, and the war will be much shortened.
Hut if Sampson fails? Then it will b
shown that we have underrated the Span
ish power, and an indefinite prolongation
of the war will result. Indeed, it cannot
be foreseen what influences may then oper
ate for the binetit of and encouragement
of Spain, and the United Statese may be
forced to the conclusion that she has un
dertaken a bigger job than she calculated
on at the outset.
The War Revenue Bill.
There is a feature of the war revenue
bill now before Congress that deserves
serious consideration before it is enacted
into law. It comes under the head of in
ternal revenue tax and proposes a tax of
4 cents per bottle upon patent medicines
retailing for sl. This tax amounts to 6
per cent, on the gross business of the pro
prietor, and as can readily be seen, will
greatly cripple the patent medicine busi
ness, and other businesses which derive
directly or indirectly therefrom. There
are numerous other proprietary articles
which enjoy the protection which the gov
ernment has extended to their trade
marks, that should bear their portiojj of
the necessary war tax. If these articles
<*ere included, the i.ix should be propor
tionately reduci.l. so that the burden
would not be felt by anyone.
Those interested should immediately
urge our Congressmen to insist upon an
amendment, so that the tax nn one dollar
preparations will not be more than on<i
cent, and pro rata on articles sold for
less. By including other trade-mark’arti
cles the total revenue will be increased
while the burden will fall lighter upon
each individual manufacturer.
The injurious effects of such a tax will
be far-reaching. It will not onlv un
necessarily cripple a business that is worth
much to the country but will affect thous
ands not directly connected therewith.
Says .he Brynsw k Times: The At- |
lanta Journal recently printel a two-ecl
umn interview with Governor Atkinson.
It was in the nature of a defense of little j
Willie's organization of the volunteer mt- ■
litia, and might properly have been de- !
scribed as footprints on the shifting sands i
Os expediency."
The Spanish Cabinet Crisis,
At last the inevitable has happened, and
Spain, in addition to her other woes. Is
now confronted with the task of reorganiz
ing the government, it having been defi
nitely announced that the Sagasta cabinet
is .* thing of the past. And. to make ’mat
ters worse, nobody wants io take one of
the vacancies, in the present o. Idi.h con
dition of the Saga, ta regime.
Admiral H. rmejo, of the navy 1 part
meat resigned because of »h< debar ,t
■Ma i ia. f*> which he is bl i u 1 }_>•
EpaiHsh p.ople. Gallon, of foreign affair*
quit ins job on the general principle that
he is disgusted with th. state of affairs
Moret, minister of the colonics, «ai i he
was tired out; while Xiquena, of pubin
works, alleged Him > 8 as ius r-ason.
It is probable that Sag.istk will b? a!
lowed free rein in filling these vacancies,
bui ,t is < oubtful if he si ; n.iwed in ap
peasing the disturbing elements, for to do
this ae must give some assurance of suc
cess for the Spanish arms, and this is
manifestly impossible. hTe hope of Euro
pean interevention against the United
States has been shown to ‘t>‘- practically
hopeless. Sagasta knows by this time that
defeat is certain in Cuba, and that the only
way out is through granting the demands
of the United States. So that the only
thing a new cabinet caji lo is to yield the
point, or, at least open negotiations for
peace, although it is unlikely that any
cabinet that might be formed would dare
to do this befor< suffering a defeat or two
in Cuban waters. It may even be that
they will insist on trying conclusions with
our land forces m Cuba. But whatever is
the decision, the result will be the same.
It is only a question of how long Spain
will remain obstinate, or. in other word
how long before a Spanish cabinet dares
to yield to the inevitable.
Can't Count on the Insurgents.
Mr. Somcrford, an American newspaper
correspond.nt, returned from a t.v.i
months’ visit to Gomez'- headquarters on
May S, and his r< ports which are dispas
sionate and bir im ss-lik< . and bear tii<
stamp of iiutb, rnaia it mor.' than ever a
certainty that whatever fighting is n.-ces
■ ity to fret • üba will hav. to be done by
American soldiers. The insurgent forces,
says Mr. Somerford, have .been enormously
overrated as to numbers, amt as to their
fighting capacity as individuals.
He estimates that not more than 3,000
insurgents would be in position to co
operate with our army should Unit. .1
States trefops invad. Cuba at any time
within two months. Gomez had with him
May Ist seventy-five unmounted and 150
mounted nun. If the United States fur
nished abundant provisions, arms, ammu
nition and clothing, a force of 30,000 men
might be collect, d. He is confident, that,
nothing will be gained by placing reliance
on the insurgents as a serious factor in an
offensive campaign. As to the Cuban sol
diers he Says:
Even the veterans of Gomez’s and Gar
cia’s divisions are not good soldiers, as
Intericans reckon soldiers. They are good
guerillas, but have no knowledge of real
military service. Neither have their of
ficers. I do.not bt li. v. tiie insurgents can
in any number successfully attack a for
tified town, such as .Mutanzas or Havana.
In the open field the Spanish will defeat
them.
“tßecause the insurgents in small num
bers have been able to continue an unequal
conflict for years has led many people to
believe they can easily defeat the Span
iards if armed. Perhaps they might if
drilled for six months, for It must be re
meihfbcred that, with the exception of ’a
few thousand now actually under arms,
any formidable Cuban army must be com
posed of comparatively raw recruits, of
infinitely less military training and knowl
edge than the average American volun
teer.
“By American volunteers I do not mean
National 'Guardsmen. They march out of
their armories better soldiers than Gomez
can produce even with our assistance, in
three years. I do not say this to disparage
the 'Cubans. I have espoused their cause
and appreciate fully the wonderful sacri
fice they have made for liberty. But the
question of ending this war is no longer
a matter of sentiment, and only fact should
be considered.”
The Albany Herald calls pointed atten
tion to a matter that has already created
some private comment. It says;
“Word comes from Griffin that some of
the commissioned officers in the volunteer
camp have taken the swell head in its
most violent form, and that a common pri
vate is no longer worthy to sneak to one of
them, much less to touch the hem of their
epaulette.! garments. Things in this re
gard may not be quite so bad as they have
'been reported, but iff hey are, the camp of
fers a fine field for some live newspaper
work, and it mav he expected that it wil
not be long neglected.”
MUST ADVERTISE. '
The Electric Light Plant Will be Sold May
31st.
Instead of approving the transfer of the
electric light plant of the Macon Gas bight
and Water Company to the new purchas
ers. Judge Speer, after taking the matter
under advisement as stated in The News
on Saturdey, has passed an order requir
ing the receiver of the company to adver
tise and sell the plant at public sale to the
highest bidder.
The upset price of the property is
SIO,OOO which is tjie price offered by the
stockholders for the Macon and Indian'
Spring Railroad Company, who are the
proposed purchasers.
The sale will take place on May 31st.
There is of course no doubt but that those
who were bidding for the property will get
it at this sale as the price that they of
fered is considered the full value of the
plant, and it is not at all probable that
there will be any other bidders,

There are some misguided persons wnn
object to washing the face <>.'ieu, - specially
with soap, thiiikiiig this is an injury tu
tba complexion. Those, however who
have mado a sj»t!;ilty of skin diseases
will say that no part’ of the body noeste
soap so much; that, the face being e>>n
stantly exposed to dust, collects so much
that it is not enough t<; wash it in clear
water. They agree that if soap makes the
!ace shiny, as so many claim, it only
■hows that it is the more needed and that
the work of drying after the bath has not
been properly”performed. The face, how
■ver. should not be wet immediately be
fore or after going out. Its most thorough
ablutions should be performed at night
before going to bed. :;nd the following
method should be observed in the process:
Fill a basin with soft, warm water,
lather a medium sized sponge with good
soap ami wash carefully. Then take fresh
water without soap and wash again with
the hands and rub ihoroughiy with s
Turkisn or crash towel until the face is
dry and tingling. This will do much to
ward improving and preserving the com
plexion.—New York Ledger.
