August 2.—A cablegram to th<- Journal from Cavite, July 30th. repons that a correspond! nt spent two days inter viewing the insurgent leaders.

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.

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 ate conventions here next week, and the Democrats, who have but two out of 12 state house officers, will receive the gov ernor nomination.

Murdock, colonial secretary in Toronto for the im perial Rowrnnuiit. said yesterday that a syndicate of capitalists had been formed for the purpose of developing iron and nieqel industries.

August 2—The steamship Westernland arrived at this port today 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.

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. MACON NEWS TUESDAY AUGUST 2 1898. BIG STRIKE MAY BE THE RESULT Unless Coal Operators Observe Terms Five Thousand Men May Walk Out. Pittsburg, August 2.—4 f the coal oper ators of the Pittsburg district do not con form to the terms of the Chicago agree ment by Aug. 10, 5,000 miners will be or dered out on a strike.

A series of strikes are to be inaugurated in tihe Yough district, and if it is at all possible the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal Company will be compelled to pay the penalty for mining coal at a rate lower than provided 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. August 2 —G. E. Part- PRINCE HERBERT SNUBSJVILLIAM He Has Ignored the Request to Allow His Father’s Fu neral at Berlin. COFEIN HURRIEDLY CLOSED And the Young Prince Refuses to Allow Emperor to Have a Por trait Painted. 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 Are Being Shipped to New York' for the Far East. 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 Y ork parties. The dollars are coined at the Mexican mints from silver bullion shipped to Mexico for that purpose, from the silver smelter at Omaha. The ulti mate destination of this money is said to be China and the Philippine Islands. RECKLESS FIRING. Charged Against the Patrol Guard at Jack sonville. 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 to run the lines. General Lee has been asked to stop it. Captain G. L. Scott, of the Sixth United States infantry, is there trying to get order on the transport Uto among the striking negro laborers. MUSTERED OUT. Fifth Illinois is Very Much Dissatisfied and May Disband. Chattanooga, August 2. —The Fifth Illi nois may be mustered out of the service of 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 front, where they have been ordered sev eral times. 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.” ANOTHER SWINDLE By Which Strangers Get Farmers’ Hard- Earned Money. Bush’s Mill, 0., August 2.—Sharpers, representing themselves as operating for a sewing machine company of Dayton. O , are working a game here. They make a 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 pany in question, but belong to a corpora tion of swiudiers at Ste;ia:o;> Va. The notes signed bear the name of another company and their ill-gotten gains run up Into the thousands. COTTON FUTURES. New York, August 2. —'Futures opened steady at decline.

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.
