"Having Huccttunfully done everything in his jKiwer to convey 'the impression that he Is sailing to Spain via New York on the otcamKhip Philadelphia on Thursday, Gen eral Pando secretly started direct for his native land about ten hours later on the French steamer Notre Dame de Salut, it is •aid, with twelve mlllon franca. The secret was so effectively kept that very few persons here have any knowledge of it and all the Havana papers announced I‘ando’s departure on the Philadelphia. Before X o’clock In the morning when a very few. people were about, Pando and the treasure were put aboard th< ship, all pre caution being taken to avoid notice. Pando was no sooner aboard the ship thnn he sent for Captain Pillard and In trusud the twelve million francs to his safe keeping, taking a receipt for It. Pando then locked himself in a state room and remained concealed until the ship left the harbor in the evening. There are many plcaslble reasons for Pando’h conduct and much d< pends where the treasure carried away came from, but whatever th* source, the army is seven months in arrears and tho civil list four months, and while both cry out for pay, it is obvious that a dangerous amount of discontent would be stirred up if the knowledge of the transportation of uuch amount l>eea.me public. Although Pando had the reputation of having considerable private wealth It Is prepowterous that such a sum could be re alized on his properly here under tho ex isting circumstances. HINT THAT HENRY WAS MURDERED Rumor that Indicates Condi tion of Public Mind in France. New York. Sept. 3.--A dispatch to the Herald from Paris cays: "Among the wild rumors flying about is one that seems too incredible to merit even Botlce, did it not show the state of the public mind. This Is the belief that Colonel Henry did not commit suicide. The Figaro says that when the commissary of police arrived at Mount Valirlen lie asked for Henry’s valise and the razor with which he eom mited suicide. He was told they both had N-en sent to the minister of war. This extraordinary proceeding could not fall to be commented upon here where the respect for legal formality Is carried to such an extent that people would leave a man hanging rather than cut him down ■before the arrival of the police. The Eelair. referring to the matter, says: "This controversy has horn us to what depths certain individuals can descend, so we are not surprised to read that the sui cide of Henry was, perhaps, murder.

Camp Wikoff, Montauk Point, Sept. 3 The president and secretary of war ar rived here at a quarter to nine. Major General Wheeler and his staff greeted Messrs. McKinley, Alger and their party on the station platform. Outside, a thousand smart troopers of the Third cavalry were drawn up and the converted yacht Eileen in the roadstead slowly boomed forth the president’s salute of twenty-one guns. General Wheeler met the president .be cause General Shafter has a touch of fever and does not feel able to move from his cot. Besides General Wheeler is still in de tention and it would hardly comport with the discipline of the camp for the com manding general to disregard the deten tion rules. General Wheeler arranged for the party to go through the detention camp past Shafter’s tent where the president will greet the commander of the Santiago forces. russiaandTrance WILL OBJECT lo Great Britain’s Coming Change of Policv in Egvpt. London, Sept. 3. —The Pall Mall Gazette says it is satisfied that a general Anglo- German agreement has been reached to act together in various quarters of the world. The paper adds that it has veri fied yesterday’s information and as an in stance of when Germany’s support will prove exceedingly useful points out that the fall of Omdurman will change Great Britain’s position in Egypt and that in face of inevitable French and Russian re sentment “Germany will be useful as an active guarantee of our permanent occu pation.” TROOPS FOR ATLANTA. Army Officers Say They Will Be Camped at theSPark. Atlanta, Sept. 3 —Five thousand soldiers will in all probability be encamped at the exposition park, as a result of the report which has been submitted by the board of officers, appointed to look Into the avail ability of the place. There seems little reason to doubt that favorable action will be taken by the war department officials, and that at an early date five regiments of soldiers will be com fortably quartered at Atlanta. An army officer who requested that his name should not be mentioned, stated to a Journal reporter: "I have no doubt .but the troops will be sent here. It is true that there will be considerable expense necessary to prepare the park for their reception, but I believe the government will not hesitate to ex pend the sum needed. "The repairs suggested by the board In its report can be made more cheaply than establishing a new camp elsewhere, and the troops would secure what they now have nowhere else, good buildings, good water and good sewerage.” ‘ The strong points embodied in the re port of the officers were the advantages of dormitories, the excellent drinking water, the bathing facilities, the perfect sanita tion, and the accessibility of the park by the Southern railway and the street car lines. The cost of the repairs which were sug gested have not been estimated, but a member of the board said he had no idea the park company would be expected to pay for them. Some work will have to be done on the roofs of most of the buildings, and floor ing will have to be put in the machinery hall and the forestry building. Kitchens will have to be provided for. Arrange ments will have to be made for testing tlm buildings. Additional closets will have to be put in and some water and sewerage connections will have to be made. Some provision will also be required for quarters for the officers, and a place se cured for a drill ground. The space in side the park, it is estimated, would not be large enough for one regiment to drill in. but by the use of property adjoining the park, sufficient room will be secured. When the suggested improvements are made, it is believed the park will be the flnest camping place in the country. MIDWaTTs MOVING AWAY. The Plaisance of the Chicka mauga Camp is Broken up.

The conductor stated that she got on the car without any assistance and that she seemed all right when she got on. Conductor McSwing wh<C. asked ajjout the matter said: “Mrs. Else got on the car at the corner of Spring and Orange Streets and seemed to be in good health. I collected her fare and started back to my place on the rear end of the car when Mr. Harry Kendall called me and said that the lady wanted me. I went to where she was sitting and she asked me if I had given her the change for the money she gave me. I told her that I had and as I did so she fell for ward and I caught her. Mr. Erwin and Mr. Kendall came to my assistance and helped me to lift her from the car to her house. She died in our arms. As Mrs. Else was being carried home Dr. Williams passed by and he was called in and a few minutes later Dr. Gewinner, the family physician came. The doctors said that the cause of her death was heart failure. It was known that 'Mrs. Else was troubled with heart disease as Dr. Gewin ner had been treating her for some time.

Regular Schedule Will Be Commenced on Monday. Commencing Monday’ the regular boat service ‘to Havana was resumed. 'At present only one steamer, the Mas cotte, will be put on ‘the run between Port Tampa and Havana. The other steamer of the line, the Olivette, which was leased to the government, was sunk yesterday at ■Fernandina. The Mascotte will make two trips a week. It is expected that the rush of Americans to Cuba wi'l open with the first trip of the Mascotte to Havana and that it will con tinue and steadily increase throughout the winter. The travel to the favored island will become so great that it is doubtful if oni boat will be sufficient to transport the cf*< for, naturally, everybody who in tend smaking the voyage will be anxious to be among the first to get there. That there will be a large influx of pros petcors and investors and schemers to Cuba ’there is no doubt, and, as the saying is, the early bird catches the worm, so it will be with those who intend going to Havana, the first to get there will have an advantage from Which no doubt they will profit.

HIGHEST RATE BIBBJAS PAID County Commissioners Have Figured It Out and Fixed It At EIGHT SEVENTY NINE. The Total State and County Tax Rate Will be a Dollar and a Half on the Hundred. The state and county rate of taxation for this year will be $1,500 as against $1,280 last year. Clerk Stuart Davis, of the board of county commissioners, figured the tax rate of Bibb county for the present year at $8.79 on every thousand dollars’ worth of property. His esliti ate will be submitted to the commissioners at their meeting on next Tuesday, and the probability is they will adopt It. This rate will be an increase on last year’s rate of $1.20 on the thousand. The state rate this year is $6.21, or an increase of $1 on the thousand. If Clerk Davis’ es timate for county is accepted, the com bined state and county rate for Bibb will be sls on the thousand, or $1.50 on every SIOO. The rate last year was $1.28 on the hundred. The rate this year will be the highest Bibb county has ever had. The increase in county rate is due to several causes, towit: The county incurred an extra ex pense this year of about $7,000 on account of smallpox; there has been a decrease of $300,000 in taxable values, and last year the commissioners lowered the tax rate, which caused the total revenue to run several thousand dollars behind the aggre gate expenses. There will no doubt be a great deal of kicking on the part of property owners when the high tax rate becomes known, but there is no way of avoiding the levy and payment. RELIEF ASSOCIATION CONTINUES WORK. Vuthnance and Rountree Pre sent Them With the Box Promised Last Month. The Soldiers’ Relief Association met last night at the Public Library and some very important business was transacted. The first thing to come up before the associa tion was the box of money which was pre sented by the firm of Huthnance & Roun tree. It will be rememberd that in July Messrs. Huthnance & Rountree promised to get a box and put In one cent of every cash sale for the month of August. The box was turned over to the ladies yester day afternoon. It is not known yet how much the box contains as the money has not been count ed. Mrs. Walter Lamar, who is in At lanta, has the key and it cannot be opened until the key is secured. The box is very heavy and it is thought that it contains fully $25. The ladies extended a vote of thanks to the firm who presented the box. It was decided that the association would turn its entire attention to the wives and families of the Macon soldiers who are in the army. The ladies now have four fam ilies on their hands and it is probable that they will have more. They ask the help of all the friends of the association. They want money and provisions mainly, and all persons who wish to continue to the work can send their contributions to ’Mrs. Ross White or Mrs. Elizabeth Winship. A fund has been set aside for the sup port of one of the families and the ladies will try to get one of the sick ladles in the hospital as she is too sick to remain at her home where she cannot receive the proper attention. Mrs. Winship reported that she had turned over nineteen pajamas to Miss Boone for the Army and 'Navy League. Mrs. Ross White was given the full power to act in the home relief work. The association will meet again next Friday and adopt plans for an entertain ment which will be given soon. FLANAGAN DYING. The Murderer is Wasting Awaw in DeKalb Jail. Atlanta, Sept. 3.—Edward C.
