An Official Crime.
Whether th* government knows it or
uot or whether it cares, a crime is being
committed In allowing the four regiments
of I nited States volunteers recruited in
the South to march into fever-ridden San
tiago on the idea that they are immune to
thi- and other di manes peculiar to tropical
climates.
Il is a notorious fact that not the slight
, effort ’ 1 •" ' ll made U> .-•■cure “im-
timm for these regiments; at least thi 4
ha- b» * n true of the regiment recruited aJ
dl.i'on, ami we preeume the same methods
prevailed elsewhere. In fact, It is not even
likely that the term ‘’immune” in the bill
. authorizing these regiments was meant
seriously. “'As far as practicable,” said
the bill, ami this, to the recruiting officers,
meant if an immune offered himself he
would not l»e rejected on that account.
Though we do not believe the I’hird regi
on nt has had such an opportunity.
Tins would In all right if the so-called
•'immune" regiments were to tie treated
us other volunteer regiments sent
.wherever necessary, but with a lull un
derstanding of the fact that they are in
no sense Immunes. The war department
however, prefers to take these regiments
Keriou-ly, ami (proceed on the idea that
these forty five hundred Southern troops
are really "immune from the diseases pe
culiar to tropical climates." They are to
the rushed into Santiago on the Idea, seem
ingly, that their health will actually im
prove by being brought into contact with
tin* yellow fever germ. Hardened regulars
who have been stricken by the thousands
are to be brought away, before Shafter’s
entire army succumbs to Yellow Jack, and
th* se forty five hundred green Southern
troops, recruited from the stores and the
farms, without the experience and train
ing necessary to health in the army, are
to be rushed in victims of either official
error or official duplicity.

it is, anif a e shall say it has deceived
mi on** It it n.is 4* ivt'd no one. then the
war department is practicing a fraud and
committing a crime In sending these regi
ments to Santiago under the pretext that
they are Immune from yellow fever and
the other diseases now 'prevailing there.
.A wrong was committed In the first place,
however, by the commanding officer of
these regiments (eager to raise his quota
land get to the front with the first) giving
it out that unlimited license was to be al
lowed and encouraging the recruiting of
anything and anybody—except an immune.
Hut the strange part is that the war
department should try to keep up the de
ception. even to the extent of sacrificing
these troops on the attar of their own
folly For a sacrifice it will be without even
the opportunity for glory which spurs the
soldier on and steels him to every hard
ship and every damger. Because they are
called "immunes” though knowing the
term to be meaningless as thus applied—
they are to be driven like sheep to the
•daughter. For the next two months they
■are confronted by the most apalllng epi
demic that ever prevailed, ipossibly even
in (’uba. Five thousand men out of an
eiiiny of less than 15.000 are, according to
official reports, down with fever. Scores
of these an* dying daily. So horrible are
the conditions prevailing at Santiago that

At the same rate of sickness, over three
thousand of these “immune*” will be
stricken with fever almost at once, and it
Is not likely that one will escape the dis
ease before the end of the rainy season.
(How many of them will survive, no one
knows, but it cannot be many.

day. a man would be taking his life into
his own hand to enter this town.

Pineapple Richness.
Nowhere on the globe do pineapples
Shrive as in Eastern Cuba, where the con
ditions of soil and climate bring the
golden apples of Hesperides” to absolute
perfection, yet the pineapple industry has
never had much attention in that section
Here is another chance for the enter
prising Yankee. A tract of unoccupied
land extending as far as one can see. may
'e bought for a few dollars and turned
into a fruit farm, the virgin soil of un
paralleled richness, being capable of pro
dueing every tropical growth. Shipping
facilities are already established at Bar
acoa and several small ports, and if the
land touches the Yumiri or some other
nver so much the better for its owner.
I ntil one has seen the golden glorv of a
Pineapple plantation he can think of no
more attractive sight than a sugar cane
Acid, glistening pale yellow under the tor
rid sun and billowing in the gentle breeze
like a. windswept sea. But even more Ta
cna .mg is a field Os Pines, each great
apple guarded by a circle of glittering
sharp-edged bayonets. In Florida the pine
apple leaf is sharply serrated that the
thought of getting around among them
suggests a field of torture. Evolution
tseems to have progressed farther in Cuba,
for on the older and more carefully culti
vated plantations the sawteeth that edge
the long.pointed leaves have mainlv dis
appeared.
Before the war it was the sight of a life
time io go out to Marianao. a suburb of
Hat ana. and there drive through an estate
which had 80.000 pineapple plants in full
bearing. Over in Nassau they call the
pineapple plantations "groves” and “or
chards," as if they were trees.
Whether groves or fields, the plant is
about the same, producing one of the most
lucious and popular fruits known to man,
for which there is constant and ample de
mand. Like most things worth having in
this troubled life, the golden “pines” are
»ot easy to get at.
A very short stroll among the stinging
leaves will lead you to sympathize with
the New Yorker, who, after a visit to Ma
rianao, said: “You do not mind the first
8.000 or 3,000 sticks and prods from the
needle points of the bayonet leaves as vou
cross a field, but after awhile your tor
tured cutis can endure no more and your
remarks about the pineapple crop are like
ly <fo be prejudiced by present soreness.
How much nicer it would be if the ’apples’
really did grow 4n ‘orchards,’ and you
could send a colored boy up the trees to
shake down a few, and thenWou could sit
down in the shade and eat %m,”
The News’ New Home.
As was announced yesterday. The News
will occupy almost at once one of the
handsomest newspaper buildings in the
state, having leased for a term of five
years the News building, 412 Cherry street,
owned by Capt. R. E. Park.
The News, as will be remembered. oc
cupied this building some years ago, and
it has been the constant purpose of the
present management to get back home at
the earliest opportunity. After four years
of patient waiting and toiling to be able
to carry out these plans, the time has
come when the News can occupy such a
building as it has desired. It is the most
important advance made by the News
since it purchased a battery of linotype
machines and adopted modern methods of
producing a newspaper.
The building soon to be occupied by the
News gives us an opportunity to make
certain improvements to the plant and in
every way increase our facilities to give
Macon a first-class, up-to-date afternoon
newspaper.
The News’ constant effort is in the line
of progress. Since the paper passed under
its present management it has never been
allowed to stand still. One improvement
has followed another, until now the News
outclasses any Southern afternoon paper
published in a city of Macon’s size. It is
not the equal of afternoon papers publish
ed in cities like Louisville, Memphis or
Atlanta, but it can be and will be if ac
corded half the patronage that is accorded
those papers.
In one respect, however, the News will
equal and even eclipse them—in the char
acter of Its home. For no afternoon news
paper in the South occupies handsomer
quarters than will be occupied by the
News within the next few weeks.
With this improvement others will come
until the News is second in no respect
to any Southern afternoon daily.
Soldiers Need Good Eves.
. Whatever their other qualifications tor
kilistment may be, no man with defec
tive vision can pass muster at a United
States recruiting office. Keen-sighted re
cruits men with “eagle-eyes” are
wanted.
While it is true that more men are now
rejected at the recruiting stations for de
fective eyesight than for any other physi
cal defect, it is well remembered that dur
ing the civil war the prime requisite, out
side of a robust constitution, was good
teeth.
There was good ground for this require
ment. In those days implements of war
fare were far below the standard of today.
Repeating rifles were unheard of then.
Muskets did good service, but the weilders
of the weapon had to be fortified with
solid biscupids and molars with which to
bite the home-made cartridges.
But in these days the eye seems tobe
the barrier between a soldier’s duty and
life at home. In recruiting for the vol
unteer regiments the same oare is taken
as in recruiting for the regular army.
Uncle Sam wants soldiers, but he insists
uixm having the very best stock.
False teeth are no absolute barrier to
becoming a soldier.
It is significant that the men from the
country who apply at the recruiting sta
tions have not only better eys, but better
constitutions, than those who apply from
the city. Poor sight is rarely found among
■the rural applicants, while those from the
city will show one in five or six affflietel.
The regular army finds its best men from
the country, and the same is true of the
volunteer army.
"Had to the Americans!”
The cordial reception of the Star
Spangledßanner in Puerto Rico is one of
the pleasurable surprises of the war, ob
serves the Cincinnati Post.
The entire populace of Ponce (the sec
ond city in the island) turned out to wel
come our boys in blue. And it was a gen
uine Spanish welcome—a commingling of
ornate ceremony with inspiriting enthu
siasm.
In contemplating the picture the reader
must not lose sight of the fact that the
Puerto Ricans fully realize that this in
vasions means the subjection of the island.
For a time it looked as though General
Miles’ march would be a triumphant pro
cession across the "land of perpetual
spring.”
Doubtless General Miles’ proclamation
contributed a great deal to this gratifying
spectacle. He told the Puerto Ricans that
the “American people came bearing the
banners of freedom, inspired by a noble
purpose to seek the enemies of our gov
ernment and of yours, and to destroy or
capture all armed resistance.”
A conquest such as this makes the
brightest page in a country’s history.
Here is the way a Puerto Rican mayor
ended his proclamation:
“Citizens: Long live the government of
the United States of America! Hail to
their valiant troops! Hail Puerto Rico, al
ways American!
El Alcalde, Francisco Magia, Yauco, Puer
to Rico, United States of America.
Ten to one that Magia is a sensible fel
low. That he is a good politician is self
evident. This ought to recommend him
for American citizenship.
I candidly confess that I have ever
looked upon Cuba as the most interesting
addition that could ever be made to our
system of states.—Thomas Jefferson to
President Monroe in 1823.
The West has been in it during the war
—the Oregon and Olympia were both built
in San Francisco.
There should be no difficulty in Uncle
Sam making peace just as successfully as
■he made war.
As a proclamation writer General Miles
seems to be right at the head of the
column.

About one month ago my child, which is

such remedies as are usually given in such
eh.ses, but as nothing gave relief we sent
for a physician and it was under his care
for a week. 'At this time the child had
been sick for about ten days and was hav
ing about twenty-five operations of the
bowels every twelve hours, and we were
convinced that unless it soon obtained re

The Übiquitous German.
All that education in its various forms
—primary, technical and even physical
can do for the German vvorkmim is being
done for him. Weak industries receive
bounties. Lines of steamers are heavily
subsidized to entry Gel man exports to all
parts of the world. The state railways are
authorized to make special rates for the
oversea trade. German diplomatic, agents
abroad exercise pressure in favor of Ger
man merchants. German commercial
houses are planted in every’ important for
eign port, and even where they represent
foreign firms they keep a benevolent eye
upon the produce.of their own country.
In the conduct of private undertakings
money is not grudged either for practical
experiment of tor research. Manufactur
ers submit to sacrifices inorder to force an
entry into foreign markets and recoup
themselves with tlie aid of protective du
ties at home. The whole commercial pol
icy of the country is directed toward the
encouragement and extension of foreign
trade.
Such assistance and encouragement,
given to a population as laborious and
well endowed as the German people, have
produced the results which we arc begin

Hprinofiki-d, Mo.
Gxnti.kmen : I commenced taking P.
P. P., Lippman’s Remedy, last
Fall, for Erysipelas. My face was com
pletely covered with the disease ; I took
a short course of P. P. P., and it soon
disappeared. This Spring I became
much debilitated and again took an
other course, and I am now in good
condition. I consider P. P. P. one o-f
the best blood preparations on the
market, and for those who need a gen
eral tonic to build up the system and
Improve the appetite I consider that it
has no equal. Will say, anyone who
cares to try P. P. P. wi’ll not be disap
pointed in its results, and I, therefore,
cheerfully recommend it.

f Htwtwln, Mo.
Gkww.emww r List I had a
scrofulous sore which broke out on my
ankle, it grew rapidly, and soon ex
tended from my ankle to my knee. I
got one bottle of your P. P. P., Lipp
man’s Great Remedy, and was agree
ably surprised at the result. The entire
sore healed at once. I think 1 have
taken almost every medicine recom
mended for scrofula and catarrh, and
your P. P. P. is the best I have ever
tried. It cannot be recommended too
highly for blood poison, etc.
Yours very truly,
W. P. HUNTER.
