CAPTAIN CARTER GUILTY.
The New York Herald Says This is the
Verdict.
Tlie New York Herald contained the fol
lowing statement as to the Carter case,
though up to this time there has been no
confirmation from Washington of the in
formation given:
‘‘Captain Carter’s ease has been decided
against him and is to be reviewed by At
torney General Griggs. The findings of
the court martial which tried this now
famous case at Savannah and New York
have been in the war department for near
ly two weeks, but not until today did the
facts leak out that the decision of the
court went against the young engineer
ol Heer, who is accused of squandering the
government’s money to the extent of hun
dreds of thousands of dollars.
' Under ordinary circumstances and con
ditions the findings of the court should be
reviewed by the judge advocate general.
In view of the magnitude of the charges
against Captain Carter and the wide
spread interest this remarkable case has
aroused a new precedent is to be estab
lished in connection with the final review
of the findings of the court that tried
him.
“There is a powerful secret and political
influence at work in behalf of Captain Car
ter. and it is believed that these two fac
tors entered largely into the movement to
have rhe case reviewed by Attorney Gen
eral Griggs instead of permitting it to pass
through the regular channels at the judge
advocate general's office.
“It appears that Captain Carter’s friends
went to the president after the finding of
the court martial reached Washington and
made a very strong appeal to him to have
the ease reviewed by the civil instead of
the military officers of the government.
It was said that fiom the very beginning
. ' the case a prejudice against Captain
Carter had existed in the judge advocate
general's office.
“It was urged by Captain Carter’s
friends that he is guilty of the charges
made against him he shuld suffer the pen
alty suggested by the court. If, on the
other hand, it can be shown that the re
sult was reacht <1 through prejudice, the
accused ought to have a further chance to
establish his innocence. It was. finally sug
gested that Attorney General Griggs
shoul 1 be s. looted to review the findings
of the court before they are sent to the
president and Mr. McKinley consented.
“The action of the president in taking
the case away from the military depart
ment and submitting it to the civil branch
of the government is not generally known
ar. 1 there is sure to be some severe criti
cism upon this rather unusual procedure
in dealing with the findings of a military
sourt martial.”

Many soldiers now feel the effects at the
hard service they endured during the war.
Mr. George S. Anderson, of Rossville, York
county. Penn., who saw the hardest kind
of service at the front, is now frequently
troubled with rheumatism. “I had a severe
attack lately,” he says, “and procured a
bottle of Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. It did
so much good that I would like to know
what you would charge me for one dozen
bottles.” Mr. Anderson wanted it both for
his own use and to supply it to his friends
and neighbors, as every family should have
a bottle of it in their home, not only for
rheumatism, but lame back, sprains, swell
ings, cuts, bruises and burns, for which
it is unequalled. For sale by H. J. Lamar

CFNTURY’S BLOODY RECORD.:
Fields of Europe Upon Which Human Lives
Were Cheap.
Life is cheap in war times.
The century just closing has had its
share of wars and it begins to look as
tbcUf-h the record would be atppendously
expaude bcloie Janary 1. 1900.
In the ?r<at struggle between France
ani Prussia the former lost 136.000 men.
of whom mi died of wuvls re
ceived in battle; 36,000 by sickness, acci
dent, suicide, etc., and 20,000 in German
prisons.
A French statistician estimates that his
countrymen who were wounded, but who
survived, numbered 138,000; injured on the
march or by accident, 11,421; recovered
from illness, 328,000 —a total of 477,421 di
rect sufferers.
The Germans killed outright numbered
40,877; 17,255 died on the field, and 21.023
in the ambulances, making 79,155 in all.
Tae wounded who survived numbered
18,543 men.
From the first to the -last the German
field artillery fired 340,000 shots and the
infantry 20,000,000 The booty of war con
sisted of 5,526 fortress guns, 1;915 field
guns and rapid fire cannons, 107 eagles and
flags and 855,000 rifles, exclusive of what
was captured at leisure on abandoned
fields. The momentary loss to France was
12,656,522 francs, including the war indem
nity paid to Germany of 5,742,938,814
francs.
A survey of the powers of Europe shows
that from the beginning of the century to
the end of 1897 Turkey had experienced
thirty-seven years of war. Spain is next
with thirty-one years of war, France
twenty-seven years .of war, Russia twenty
four years of war, Italy twenty-three years
of war, 'England twenty-one years of war,
Germany, (exclusive of Prussia) thirteen
years, 'Austria-Hungary seventeen years of
Sweden ten years of war, (Partugal twelve
years of war, and Denmark nine years of

SPAIN NEEDED MONEY.
Once She Nearly Sold Cuba and the Philip
pines to France.
Mlani'la, iwhere Old Glory now floats, was
built in 4851, and has for more than three
centuries been the seat of Castilian gov
ernment in the Philippines. ißut tenacious
as Spain’s hold upon the Philipines and
Cuba has been (last relics, almost, of her
own world-emipire), Spain came near part
ing with .both these possessions during this
century.
Queen Maria Cristina—not the present
widow of (Ailfonso XII., hut the wife of
Ferdinand V'lil.—was noted for her greed.
On her accession to the throne she found
the (Spanish treasury*so depleted that she
schemed (to sell both (Philippines and Cuba
to iFranee. She forced -Senor Campazano
to undertake a mission that 'was exceed
ingly distasteful to this Spanish pride.
When he oipened 'Cristina’s (proposition
to Louis (Philippe, the proud Don struck
the table a heavy blow and muttered a
curse. The Queen proposed to hand over
to the French King the Island of Cuba for
30,000,000 reals (about $3,000,000) and the
Philippines and Puerto Rico for 10,000,000
reals (about $1,000,000).
Louis Philippe was willing enough to
pay the price .for Cuba, but objected to the
sum asked far the Philippines. “(Seven
millions of real is my offer,” (he remarked,
“or else the contract must be thrown into
the fire. Talleyrand, who was present,
was about to remonstrate; but as he
stretched forth his hand to take the
Queen’s paper Ca*mipanzano leaped to his
feet, seized the contract, crumbled it in
his hands, and exclaimed:' “Your Majesty
is right. The contract is worthless, only
fit to be thrown into the fire/' And with
these words he flung the paper down upon
the fire and beat the flaming document
with the tongs into blackened fragments.”

FRENCH GOWN OF DOTTED RED DIMITY FROM HARPER’S BAZAR
A gay little costume of dimity in the
new tone of -coral lightened with white
polka dots, is made unlined 'throughout,
rendering a suitable model as well for
ginghams, batists and other light-weight
leotton faibrics, or the Irish flax linens,
which appear this season in the new
shades of rose, blue and mastic. Costumes
of this linen, with a vest of harmonious
color, promise to be popular for country
wear. French open work linen, made over
silk o's a contrasting hue, is also adapted
to this simple style. Variety may be given
it by substituting ruffles of embroidery
for those of the same material on the
waist.
The general effect of 'this gown is be
coming. The yoke of this skirt is suffi
ciently long to produce the slender effect
over the hips that is the tendency of the
present fashion, besides outlining a pointed
apron in front, to which is added a deep
GOODVEAR’S WORK.
Two Handsome Wagons Recently Turned
Out From His Shops.
Two new wagons recently turned out in
'Macon 'bear evidence to the excellent work
manship of 'Mr. W. A. Goodyear and his
splendid force of workmen employed for
this kind of work.
The wagons were built for the Southern
Hardware Company and for Napier Bros.,
and are models of good carriage building.
As a matter of fact, it would be hard to
find a better workman than Mr. Goodyear.
He is well known to the people of Macon
and this section as one of the finest all
round mechanics in the South, and is pre
pared to do any kind of work, from the
building of a ’bus to the shoing of a horse
at his establishment on Poplar street. The
fact of the matter is that no one should
send away from Macon to have their car
riages, wagons or drays built so long as
there is’ such a workman as W. A. Good
year in the city.

NICARAUGA CANAL.
Its Great Value to the United States in
War.
Washington, May 23 —One of the most
important questions of the near future to
be decided by Congress is whether or not
the Nicaraguan canal shall be built by the
United States government.
The bill now pending in the 'Senate com
mittee will be reported probably within
the next fortnight. Senator Morgan, who
has espoused the building of a canal be
tween the two oceans ever since he began
service in the Senate, in 1877, will have
charge of the canal bill. He has every
hope of securing its passage, at leas!
through the Senate.
There is no doubt the bill would have
been passed at the last session of Congress
had it not been for the opposition of Min
ister- Rodriguez, of the Central American
Republics. This had the effect of changing
many votes, and fearing if he passed the
bill it would meet defeat, the .Alabama
senator withdrew it, giving notice at the
same time that he would reintroduce the
measure at this sesjon. This he did sev
eral weeks ago. The bill, as introduced,
is materially altered to meet the objection
raised by Rodrigue. There is a igeneraF
disposition in Congress favorable to build
ing this canal, but there is some difference
of opinion as to the amount required.
Editor Evening News—Dear Sir- I see
that Mr. John Cooper is ruan'ng for the
legislature. He ought to go. He is a self

mer, and to make a living for himself. By
