ULTIMATE PLAN OF
ADMINISTSATION
Is Doubtless to Annex Cuba,
But First Give It In
dependence.
'Wahslngton, D. C.. July 25- For the mo
ment the subject of the relation of the
United States to that of the Cuban Repub
lic. to which ocr allies, Gomez and Garcia,
owe allegiance, disputes with ocr Porto
Rican exepdition and the Philippine sitca
tion, for prominence in public attention
and in ogieial consideration. There is no
doubt of the present polcy of the adminis
tration toward our Ccban allies.
in recognition of their three years of
heroic struggle and sacrifices for the ittd?-
pendenee of Cuba, and in reward for their
assistance and co-operation in the pasifl
cation of the island by the United States,
they are to be shown high consideration.
■During the continuance of the work of pa
cification they are to be treated with cor
diality and honor, as brothers-in-arms in
a common and glorious cacse. At the end
of the war thehy are to be accorded cheer
felly such prominence in civil affairs of
the new Republic of Cuba as grateful Re
publics are wont to bestow upon the mil
itary heroes of their wars for indepen
dence.
There is no doubt whatever of the ulti
mate annexation of Cuba to the United
States, but first there will be a Republic
of Cuba to give away the bride. Then
during the short existence of the Cuban
Republic the United States will insist upon
such favorable trade relations toward this
country, and such political considerations,
as are due to the eo-liberator of Cuba.
From the tit st there will be such an in
flux of capital ar. I enterprise and skilled
labor from the United States into Cuba as
must dominate Cuban polities. This influx
has already begun into Santiago.
11. F. Flagler, of New York: the Grace
Brothers, of New York, and a host of New

Haiti, and the eventual erection of the
thro, islands into an island state of the
United States the state, let us say, of
West India.
■But the Cuban Republic must eonie first,
and Cuban patriots must have that share
In it that they have earned by their heroic
struggle for liberty. The word of the

MILES REACHES
PORTO RICO.
It Is Conceded bv the War
Department that He Is
There Now.
CHICKCAMAUGA TROOPS
Will All Be Aboard Transports at
Hampton Roads by Wed
nesday.
Washington, July 25—General Brooke,
commanding the First army corps, will
sail today from Newport News to Join
General Miles at Porto Rico.
The general will embark on the St.
Louts and will proceed immediately with
out waiting for any command. He should
arrive off Porto Rico on Friday or Satur
day.
The St. Louis will be accompanied by
the St. Paul, on which will be the head
quarters of General Haines.
The remainder of the troops at Chick
amauga will be embarked at Hampton
Roads as rapidly as possible and it is ex
pected the last of them will be aboard of
the ship by Wednesday.
It is reported that the boarding of a
German steamer off San Juan, Puerto
Rico by a launch from an American naval
vessel is taken at the war department as
confirmed of the belief that .Miles has ar
rived there. It is recalled, however, that
some of the vessels of the auxiliary fleet
have been blockading San Juan and it may
lie that it was a launch from one qf these
vessels instead of those from Gen. Miles'
tleet that was seen by the German vessel.
However, the department has no doubt
that Miles is off Porto Rico.

New York, July 25 —A dispatch to the
World from Santiago says:
The Cuban insurgents encouraged by the
correspondents of a sensational New York
newspaper are retarding the work of mil
itary Governor Wood in restoring order in
the city.
They are still disgruntled because tho
town will not be delivered over to them.
The Spaniards are accepteing the change
of government in Santiago with good
grace. The insurgent forces have left the
American eamp and gone some miles into
the interior. They have been warned under
a threat of the extreme penalty not to
molest the Spanish residents or return to
the old system of brigandage.
Fifty funerals took place here yesterday
of refugees who died as the result of the
scarcity of food at El Caney.
Santiago is still short of food and the
streets are full of beggars. Householders
have been ordered to clean the houses.
All the surrendered troops are suffering
from disease and starvation and Shafter
has instructed the immediate forwarding
of rations and relief. He informed the
Spanish officers that their families would
be given transportation to Spain with food
at the expense of the government and the
maintenance of them would be provided
for -by contract.

BREAKERS AHEAD
It Is Feared Are Indicated by Amiison’s
Letter.
Washington. July' 25 —General Ander
son’s report from Manila is regarded in
administration circles as notice that there
are “breakers ahead.” The news is un
pleasant, but not wholly unexpected. For
: several weeks there have been increasing
: signs that the self-esteem of the natives
was undergoing rapid development. It is
regarded as having reached the highest
stage in Aguinaldo’s declaration of a dic
tatorship and martial law.
There might be alarm over the new con
dition of affairs but for the fact that Ad
miral Dewey is on guard. He has solved
so many problems in such a masterly
; manner that the administration considers
I him equal to any emergency, and so there
is serene confidence that he will be able
to handle the festive Aguinaldo in his new
I role.
Dewey has displayed such excellent
judgment in every situation that the policy
has been not to impede him with orders
He has refrained from entering Into an
' alliance wi:h Aguinaldo.
There Is a strong belief that Dewey’s
i first move will be to take Manila in co-
I operation with the army. That .will place
the capital and the chief seaport in pos
i session of the Americans.
Then the invaders may proceed at their
leisure to deal with the natives in the
jungle. The new system of taxes to be
enforced by the Americans, which will be
only half as burdensome as the Spanish
tolls, and the object lesson afforded by
wholesome government will be depended
■ upon to win many of the natives from the
dictatorship. If it shall be decided to keep
I the islands, the army will need to look
after the rebels. The first object, how
ever. is to keep the natives in check and
i out cf Manila.
The plan is to let Aguinaldo go forward
with his Republic: but the real power in
the island will be Dewey and his squadron,
reinforced by troops.

GOOD COLLECTOR.
Got After the Preacher in a Church and Is
in Trouble.
New York, July 25 —Moses Kaufer, of
Newark, hit upon a new' plan for collect
ing an old debt, but in executing it he was
roughly handled. Kaufer happened to be
a member of the congregation on Friday
night, when Abraham Issler, who was sit
ting up in front, lifted up his voice in
prayer and said:
“Oh, how thankful I am that I owe no
man a dollar.”
“What about the $8 coming to me?”
asked a voice in the rear.
“Who are you?” asked Sssler.
“Moses Kaufer, the mason, and you owe
me $8 for work done.”
“The work was badly done,” said Issler,
naturally irritated at an interruption in
such circumstances. Then Issler went
back to the rear of the room where Kaufer
was, and, after a “mix-up,” he ejected
him. Kaufer promptly secured a warrant
for Issler’s arrest, and the subsequent
proceedings will be conducted in a police
court.

NOT HIS FAULT.
A Statement as to lhe Cause of Wreck in
the Central Yard.
The News cheerfully gives space to the
following, which explains itself:
S. W. Junction, July 23, 1898.
Editor Macon News —Dear Sir: In the
Macon News of the 22nd is an account of
the collision that occurred in the Central
yard, and it states that “The wreck was
caused by the switchman at the junction
putting the soldier's train on the wrong
track.” You have unintentionally done me
an injustice and I would thank you to ob
tain from the general master of the Cen
tral yards the fact. The switchman at the
junction did not let this train in on the
wrong track and then correct your state
ment giving it the same prominence as
the original account. I am the telegraph
operator here and also have these switches
in charge and am responsible for them,
and the statement in your paper as it now
stands is calculated to do me much in
jury outside of the railroad officials whom
I now work for. I hope your next issue
will contain the correction. Very truly,
W. G. Southall, Operator,
S. W. Junction.
An investigation of this matter by The
News reveals the fact that an injustice has
been done the switch-man at the junction.
An official of the road said todav to a
News reporter that the collision was m no
sense the fault of the switchman, and
positively declined to place the blame on
any one.

HIGHEST IN THE STATE.
Will Confer with the Macon Gas
Light and Water Company and
Come to an Arrangement.
The Chamber of Commerce holds an im
portant meeting this afternoon for the
purpose of hearing the report of the com
mittee appointed at the last meeting to
look into Jhe question of rates for water
and for gas charged by the Macon Gas
Light and Water Company.
It is charged that Macon is paying en
tirely too much for both gas and water
and that the rates in this citv are very
much higher than they are in any other
city in the state.
The report of the committee this after
noon will be to the effect that the rates
are too high and they will recommend the
appointment of a committee to act as a
commission with the Macon Gas Light and
Water Company and if possible adjust the
rates on a fairer basis titan they are at
present.
The committee this afternoon will make
no report on the question of gas rates as
they have not yet got all the necessary
data at hand.
There has been a considerable amount
of interest in this matter and if the
Chamber of Commerce succeeds In bring
ing about a reduction of the rates the
strength of the organization will be ma
terially increased.
IMPROVED GRADES
On Baltimore and Ohio on Third Divi
sion.
The receivers of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad have turned their attention to the
improvement of the grades on the Third
division from Cumberland to Gofton, or
rather that portion which lays between
Altamont, the top of the seventeen mile
grade, and Terra Alta, where the Cran
berry grade begins to descend. The line
passes through Deer Park and Oakland
and crosses what is known as the “Glades”
of tfie Alleghany Mountains. The grades
are short and choppy, some of them being
eighty to eighty-five feet to the mile. One
of the first pieces of work to be done Is
now in progress at No. 56 cut where the
grade is 'being reduced f rom eighty-one
feet to forty-two and a half feea per mile
with equations for curvature.
It is expected that the cutting down o.f
this grade will enable the receivers to in
crease the train load from 1,000 tons to
1,300 tons on eastbound trains. One mile
of the roadway will be lowered and it is
expected that the work will be completed
by the middle of October.

SHREWD~PLAY.
>
lhe Forming of Watson’s
Squadron Nothing But a
Bluff.
New York, July 25—d’he Tribune this
morning says of the abandonment of the
project to send Watson to Spain:
"The organization of a ‘raiding squad
ron’ and the preliminary order to Com
modore Watson, were the outgrowth . of
Admiral Camara’s departure from Spain
for the Philippine Islands. The squadron
was constituted on June 26, the day after
the Spanish fleet reached Port Said, and
only after the navy department was con
vinced beyond a doubt that Admiral Ca
mara bad actually paid toll for his fleet
through the canal, demonstrating that
Spain was not ‘bluffing,’ but really in
tended her last remnant of naval force to
attack Dewey. The war board immediate
ly adopted Captain Mahan's plan to send
a strong fleet across the Atlantic to menace
Spain and to compel Admiral Camara’s
return for the defense of the peninsula
itself,
'lf the Spanish admiral failed to accept
this challenge, and continued toward the
east, Commodore Watson was directed to
follow him with all possible dispatch. The
mere announcement of the scheme, as it
was shrewdly calculated to do. together
with the pitiable condition in which Ad
miral Camara found the strongest mem
bers of his fleet, after he had passed the
canal, resulted in his prompt return to
Spain, and nullified the immediate object
of Commodore Watson’s cruise.
“It is stated advisedly and upon the
highest authority that the president has
never contemplated an attack on Spain
except as an extreme resort te. terminate
the war.”'
LOSING HIS MIND.
The Captain of the Vizcaya Is Acting
Strangely.
Annapolis, Mr., July 25 —There has been
a rumor here since the arrival of the Span

was a tyrant aboard ship and that he de
liberately shot his men because they could
not man the guns in the face of -«he Amer

It is thought he is losing his mind.

CARS, ICE AND
CRATES SHORT,
Will Make a Difference of at
Least Fifty Thousand
Dollars.
HO HELP FOB II IB*
So Far as the Cars Are Concerned,
But the Crate Famine Is Still
a Bad Feature.
Notwithstand the denial of the charge
that there has been a shortage of cars on
the Central railroad for the purpose of
shipping peaches, it Is a fact that such a
shortage has existed. Mr. Fleming, rep
resenting the Armour Refrigerating Car
people said this morning that there had
been an unavoidable delay in getting a
sufficiency of cars but that it had existed
only for a f >■ days and that it was now
all right ;•?,.! that from this time out there
would be no delay and no shortage of re
frigerating ears or cf ice.
I cannot deny that we were shott ot
cars for some days last week, and he said
that it caused the growers and ourselves
a considerable amount of worry. But it
was unavoidable and we have now rectified
the matter.
“The fact of the matter is that we all
underestimated the crop and the rush has
been tremendous.”
It seems that the crate famine i# what
is going to do the damage. It is estimated
that this famine or shortage of crates will
cost the growers not less than a hundred
cars of peaches. This means a loss of
something like fifty thousand dollars.
The crop has been everywhere under
estimated . At Fort Valley and Marshall
ville they have already shipped the num
ber of cars that it was estimated the en
tire crop would make.

A Square Yard the Southern Company Will
Keep Streets in Repair.
The paving question will again come up
before the city council tomorrow night and
it is more than probable that council will

some of the streets. In fact a resolution
will be passed accepting formally the bid
of the Southern (Asphalt Company and
stating that when any asphalt paving is
done it will be done with this material.
The company guarantees the pavement for

it in repair for 6 cents the square yard.

Mr. Davis hesitated to accept the chair

was prevailed upon to accept.
There was no other business before the i

Do not invite buyers to throw a ray
of light upon the plan of their Re
union Sale. They go a step further
and, with conscous strength, request

A vast quantity of Clothing of
superior quality and style offered at
tremendous reductions. Certainly
this comes under the head of extra
ordinary. In the selection of our
stock we aimed at attractiveness and
fashionableness and durability, a
combination never found in goods
that are sacrificed. These chances
may never occur again.
