He Will, However, Go Any Length
to Retain the Good Graces of
Consul Wildman.
Nw York. August 2.—A cablegram to
th<- Journal from Cavite, July 30th. repons
that a correspond! nt spent two days inter
viewing the insurgent leaders.
As a result the correspondent says he
diseovi rs evidences of Jealousy of the
American invasion, but no actual anti-
American feeling.
The dispatch adds: “Aguinaldo is re
spectful toward Dewey, Merritt and Consul
Wildman and will go to any length to re
tain Wildman’s good opinion, but holds
back from giving energetic help to the
United States forces. He will give only
the negative sort of assistance until he
knows the exact form whtefi the American
policy will take. He is disturbed by' the
telegraphic reports that the United States
will abandon the islands to Spain. There
are some indications of a clash between
Merritt and Aguinaldo.”

There ire marly a dozen Democrats and
Populists who wish to succeed Holcomb,
in .'hiding the governor himself, and I u
possibility of such a ruction being kicked
up as to make fusion difficult, if not im
posiblc, spurred several leaders to tele
graph to Bryan to urge upon him the ne

The additional ground was urged that
his .hetion as governor would keep him
prominently before the people without any
necessity of lecturing until the war is
over.
file fuslonists will meet in three sepal

Democrats, who have but two out of 12
state house officers, will receive the gov

SAILORS ONLY’
WORE LIFE BELTS.
Bodies of Burgopne’s Passen

New York. August 2—The steamship

and those on board report that when sixty
miles oft Stable Island and within a mile
of the spot where Laßaurgne went down
on July 4th the bodies of twenty-six men
and two women were seen floating in the
water.
It was a significant fact that almost all
the men whose bodies were floating with
■ life belts on were sailors.
The passengers seemed to have no life
belts and therefore sunk.
The steamship Hiawatha which went
out from the Halifax to identify the dead
of Bourgogne was sighted by the Western
land in the neighborhood of this human
wreckage and was engaged iu the work
on which was sent out.
As the Westernland passed the crew th

THE MACON N EWS.
PEACE AM PROSPERITY,
THE JUBILEE CARNIVAL
AND THE A SKI VERSA BI
EDITION OF TEE NEWS.
Four Good Things— Push ’Em Along
—Coming All in a Bunch and
flacon is to be Benefited by
Each One of Them.
J GREAT ADVERTISEMENT FOR MACON
It Is Now Practically Impossible to Secure Effective Informa
tion About Macon—TheSCity Needs Such a Thing
-Will Benefit Everv Citizen-Will Picture
Macon Up to Her 75th Birthdav
—A Forerunner of the
Carnival.
Peace almost iu sight. Prosperity almost within reach. The great Jubilee Car
nival almost at hand.
Is it any wonder that Macon is feeling better over the outlook? For the past
four or five years she has been put “through the mill,” as the saying goes.
Bat she has held her own —and a little more. She has managed to move forward grad
ually. until today she is a large,’ and better city than she was five or six years ago.
But who knows it? Our home people do. They have but to look about them and
see evidences of it on every side, a dozen fine business building have been erected
within the past few years. Several mam motn industries have been established.
Scores of residences have been erected. The population of the city has steadily in
creased. Her banking capital has grown. She has more business houses. She has
built a new sewer system. And her streets are now being paved.
Ml this and a great deal more is what can be truthfully told about Macon’s pro
gtess dining the past few years. And yet the “croakers” and a few outsiders keep
saying, “Macon is going down.”
To get to the point, The News proposes to set forth the facts regarding Macon in
a mammoth industrial issue, to be published on October Ist next, and to be known
as the Carnival and Anniversary Edition of The News.
Ii a ill not only supplement the good work to be done by the Carnival, of which
it is <o be the forerunner, but it will be a picture of Macon on the anniversary of her
Seventy-fifth birthday—as well as a record for that time.
It will be the most complete an 1 the handsomest edition of the kind ever pub
li--be.l i'l ■ , : a .11 contain from too to 150 pages of interesting matter de-
scriptive of Macon, with numerous half-tone illustrations. It will be in every re
spect such a publication as will draw attention to the city in whose interest it is
published, and it will reflect great credit on the community.
It is a well known fact that Macon is sadly in need of such advertising. There
is today no publication of any value descriptive of Macon. There is nothing which
can be sent to the people abroad seeking information as to our city. People and
money are going by us every day, because o f late years Macon’s advantages have
not been properly presented. Ask any business man who has had experience along
this line, and he will tell you that such a publication as The News proposes will
prove of inestimable value to the community.
Not a dollar invested in It. by The News and the merchants and citizens of
Macon will lail to pay, even indirectly, a handsome return. A more important effort
in Macon’s behalf has not been inaugurated in a long while. Macon is greatly in
need of the advertising that such a publication will give her. With thousands of
these books distributed throughout the country and thousands more givea out as
souvenirs to visitors during the coming Carnival, they cannot fail to bring in
quiries from investors and home-seekers they cannot fail to bring new people and
new' money to Macon.
It is Macon s opportunity to show wh at is in her; it is her chance to prove her
worth and her attractiveness. The News proposes to do its best on this issue. It
asks the merchants and citizens of Mac on to give the undertaking that encour
ment Which it deserves.
Within the next few days representa fives of The News will call on yon. Just
beat in mind that their mission is less for The 'News than for Macon. The benefit
to The News can be but small, if any; b ut the benefit to Macon, and, therefore,
to each citizen of Macon, can hardly be es timated.
HOW THE CUBAN
DEBT WAS MADE.
It Has Piled Up Within the
Last Thirty or Forty
Years.
New York, August 2. —The Cuban debt,
which is likely to cut a prominent figure
in the peace negotiations with Spain, has
been created within a generation.
'lt began with the Spanish expedition to
Mexico in 1861, and those of the San Do
mingo rebellion in 1863, 1864 and 1865, a
total of 135 000,000. This .vischarged to»the
Cuban treasury. A similar disposition was
made of the expenses arising from the war
with Chili and Peru.
Then came the cost of the ten years’ war
that began in 1868, and the “little war,’’
in 18S0. War loans amounting to $160,960,-
000, made in 1896 and in 1897, are also
charged against the Island. The total Cu
ban debt is $540,000,000.
This statement of the manner in which
the revenue of thO island was divided
shows how much of it benefited the Cu
bans:
For army and navy. 36.59; for public
debt. 40:89: for civil government and jus
tice. 19.77. for public works and instruc
tion. 2.75. No public work of any kind was
done during the seventeen years which in
tervened between the two wars.
AT FERNANDINA
Impure Well Water Caused Increase of Fever
Cases.
Fernandina, Fla.. August 2. —The Third
Ohio is camped here north of the Sixty
ninth New York. They have the grounds
cleared and have begun drilling. The
whole brigade went on a practice march
this morning to the beach. The division
hospital arrived yesterday, and will be
ready to receive patients by tomorrow.
There are several regiments campe.l on the
island, with more coming daily.
A strong provost guard is kept in town.
No one is allowed to be there without a
written pass. Telegraphic service is not
extended to the camps yet nd all messa
ges must be carried to the city office. Ser
geant Dykes Company G, has obtained a
twenty day furlough on account of the
death of his father, and left las' evening
for his home at Dayton. The water for the
whole camp is from an art sia i well, and
is pure. An increase in the numbar of
cases of fever is reported, anl is attributed
to the use of impure well water.
This place is an historical one. Ihe old
and once Spanish settlement on the island
is a close rival for St. Augustine for age.
General Andrew Jackson came to subdue
the Seminole Indians and intriguing Span
iards, and history tells us how well and
completely he did his work.

Pittsburg, August 2.—4 f the coal oper

form to the terms of the Chicago agree
ment by Aug. 10, 5,000 miners will be or

for in the agreement.
WHISKEY DRINKING
Why Man Drinks It is a Question to Be
Solved.
Worcester, Mass., August 2 —G. E. Part
ridge, a senior student at Clark Univer
sity. this city, is trying to answer the
question: “Why does a man drink whis
ky?’’ He is considering the solution in
psychologically, and, in addition, is ex
perimenting as to what effect is caused by
alcoholic spirits. These experiments he
has made on himself. He has taken small
doses of chemically pure alcohol and by
recording the foot pounds of work done by
pulling a hand dynamometer has (been able
to arrive at definite conclusions.
A drink of pure alcohol, in amount equal
to that contained in an ordinary glass of
whisky, enables him to do more work in
the first half hour, he has found, but less
in the second half hour, than when he
takes no alcohol. Besides this there is
during the second hour a steady loss from
normal power.
Mr. Partridge considers that, psycholo
gically, alcoholic craving is either an in
stinctive mental state, existing in all peo
ple even though undeveloped, or else that
it is a pathological appetite, a complex
impulse.
The ease with which it controls a man
depends on its relations to certain funda
mental instincts of the human mind. He
himself is more inclined to the latter be
lief. He recently read a paper on this
subject before the American Medical Tem
perance Asso nation at its meeting at
Staten Island, and as a result he was asked
to make others experiments. He is now,
with assistance. trying to determine the
effects of other liquids on the mental state.
Strychnine, spirits of ammonia and others
will be included in the tests.

Berlin, lAugust 2 —The Neuste Naehrich
ten publishes a dispatch from Freidrich
ruhl saying “Prince Herbert Bismarck is
quite broken down by the worry and vigile
of the past few days.”
Indicating how well the deceased prince
felt on Thursday, when going to bed a*
11:30 he said “Well now, 1 shall have a
sleep.” r
It seems doubtful whether Emperor Wil
liam will go to Friedrichruhl owing to the
attitude of Prince Herbert Bismarck, who
no.t only has heeded his majesty’s desire
to have the remains of his father buried,
at Berlin, but who seems to have refused
Professor Lentsach permission to paint a
portrait of the deceased as the emperor
di sired.
Besides this the coffin containing the re
mains of Prince Bismarck have been
closed somewhat hurriedly.
The funeral service in honor of the late
Prince Bismarck will take place on Thurs
day morning in the Emperor William Me
morial church. Federal council of mem
bers of the Prussian die.t and states muni
cipal authorities will be invited.
MEXICAN DOLLARS

Austin, Texas, August 2 —'Heavy ship
ments of Mexican dollars have been pass
ing through here for the past two weeks.
These shipments have averaged over SIOO,-
000 per day and are consigned to Nt w

Charged Against the Patrol Guard at Jack

Jacksonville, Fla., August 2.—The work
of transferring regiments here to new
ground will begin within two days. The
troops will be moved to the suburbs of the
city. Few, if any, serious cases are in the
hospitals now.
Complaint is made of indiscriminate
firing by the provost guard at nigiht in the
city streets, endangering the life of citi
zens. The other night two bullets enrfel
the house of Dr. Brunson, and one lodged
in a pillow in bed room.
Many guards fire at soldiers who attempt

MUSTERED OUT.
Fifth Illinois is Very Much Dissatisfied and
May Disband.
Chattanooga, August 2. —The Fifth Illi

the 'United States. The discipline and or
ganization of the regiment is gone. More
‘than half of the men in the regiment have
left, and are scattered over a radius of ten
miles. No roll call has been held since
Wednesday. Colonel Culver has lost com
plete control over the regiment. Yesterday
there were not enough men in the regiment
to pitch tents and do police duty. The men
are angry because they cannot get to the

HOW YELLOW
FEVER IS SPREAD.
Charge Laid to the Door of
the Red Cross Societv
by a Surgeon.
Washington, August 2.—Dr. William
Gray, recently transferred from the Army
Medical Museum to service on the hos
pital ship Relief, who is in the city after
a trip to Siboney, speaking of the expe
riences at Siboney in coping with the yel
low fever, said:
“The pestilence among our soldiers is
traceable, in my opinion, to the Red Cross
officials. The Red Cross people were given
direct instructions on going to Cuba not
to undertake hospital work. They were to
confine themselves to the distribution of
food among the Cubans. The instructions
were not obeyed. Hospitals were soon
opened in the Cuban house-s or huts at
Siboney. and Red Cross surgeons were in
charge. Orders had been given to burn the
village of Siboney as soon as General
Shafter landed, but somehow this was not
done. Americans were certain to become
infected with yellow fever in Cuban houses
of the character that existed at Siboney
and sure enough yellow fever dll make
its appearance among the troops following
the exposure in the Red Cross hospitals.
There was no yellow fever at Santiago It
was malarial fever.”

Earned Money.
Bush’s Mill, 0., August 2.—Sharpers,

note payable in seven years, but “arrange”
it so the farmer reads one note and signs
another, payable in thirty days. They
agree to send an instructor around, and
when he arrives he presents a note for $65,
which must be paid at once. It has devel
oped that they do not represent the com

MAY HOLD FAIR
HERE JIS YEAR
State Agricultural Societv
Will Discuss the Matterat
Regular Meeting.
WOULD SUSTAIN LIFE
And the ZMoney May Be for the
Coming to Back it Among
the Members,
There is a chance that the State Agricul
tural Society will hold a fair in Macon inis
year.
The matter will be discussed at the reg
ular annual meeting and there is a chance
that the fair will be held this yetr.
It is a fact, however, that the treasury
of the society has run to a very low ebb
and that there will be some difficulty in
getting the money together to pay the
premiums, but .here are some of the mem
bers who say that the fair should be held
if the life of the life of the socie r y is to be
kept up, and that the money will be forth
dei'taking, which this year would be a
money-maker and would start the sodlety
on a useful career once again.
The contract with the Society and the
city of Macon gives the society rhe right
to hold the fair this year in Macon.
Hon. J. Pope Brown, of Pulaski county,
president of the Georgia .State Agricultural
Society, was in Macon yesterday en route
to Indian ‘Spring, to make arrangements
at the Wigwam for holding the annual
convention of the society, commencing on
next Tuesday, lAuguslt 9th. President
Brown expects ithere w.ill be a large at
tendance. The railroads give the usual
free passes. Hotel rates will Ibe $1.50 per
day.
The convention will be addressed by a
number of speakers, among them will be
Congressman L. F Livingston, ex-presi
dent of the society; J. R. Redding, I. B.
English, of Macon; A. H. Cox. of Atlanta,
and others. A full program is being pre
pared and will be announced in a few
days. The president’s address will be very
interesting.
The annual election of officers will be
held President Brown states that he will
not be a- candidate for re-election. He has
advocated short terms for presidents. He
has held the presidency two terms. A
term consists of one year. Mr. Brown says
he does not know who ‘will offer for the
presidency. While the election of officers
will occur at the annual convention in Au
gust, the new officers are not inaugurated
until the semi-annual meeting in next.
February.
One of the important matters to be dis
cussed at the convention, next week, is
whether or not to .hold a state fair this
year. Some of the members of the society
are very anxious to have a fair. An ob
jection has been advanced that it is -too
late to prepare for the holding of a credit
able fair in next October or November, (but
the answer is made to this that one of the
best fairs ever held under the auspices of
the society was not decided on until in
August, and it was given in the latter part
of October or first of (November. -
GOVERNMENT OF
PUERTO RICO.
Is the Same as that on AH
the Other Colonies.
Washington, July 2.—Porto Rico is gov
erned on the same plan as the other Span
ish islands.
The principal officials are a captain gen
eral, who is the civil governor, and also the
head of the army, as well as of the high
est tribunal, the Court of Royal Audince,
and an intendant, who is the head of the
fiscal administration of the province.
The island, outside of San Juan, is divi
ded into seven military departments, under
the authority of separate commandants,
with headquarters at (Bayamon, Arecibo,
Aguodilla, Mayagnez, Ponce, Humacao and
Guayama, respectively. Alcaldes, appoin
ted from San Juan, administer the civil af
fairs of the towns. The commandant of
the navy acts under the chief of the naval
forces at Havana. The highest ecclesiasti
cal dignitary is a bishop, resident at the
capital.
The resources of the government are de
rived principally from the customs; a les
ser revenue accrues from licenses for lot
teries, public gambling houses and cock
pits, a charge on the lands granted by the
government and taxes on certain sales
and on stamped paper and some minor
items.

Ail for Glory,
Nothing for Money.
The manifest destiny of this store is to
make money—to make it honestly,
showly, but surely. We don’t pose as
clothiers who are in the business merely
for glory. Every sensible man doubts
Mr. Manifest Destiny’s all-for-glory
nothing-for-money policy. You are
not so plastic and impressionable as to
seriously consider the protestations of
dealers who, forswearing profits, con
tinue to stay in the trade and prosper.
You are too prudent and intelligent to
miss penetrating such flimsy pretexts.
