WILL BE NICE QUESTION' As to Whether Right Belongs to Her or Not—Commission Will Be Ready to Report. By Associated Press. lu.K. uct. iO —«A dispatch to.the H< raid from Washington says; The United States may submit a .diplo matic pretest to Spain through the French government against its action in sending a Spanish auxiliary cruiser loaded with arms and ammunition to the Philippines. In any event the matter is under con sideration and it is believed has been call ed to the' attention of the American com missioners in Paris. The cruiser in question is the Buenos Ayres, belonging to the Spanish auxiliary navy, whfch Rear Admiral Dewey reported to the navy department a few days ago is due to arrive at Singapore straight*, settle ment October 13th. It is appreciated by the authorities that Spain has the same right in the eyes of international law to send reinforcements to the Philippines, this government has and any protest made would be of the most diplomatic character and simply' designed to make it plain that the continuance of the voyage of the Buenos Ayres is objec tionable. On the other hand, a member of the cabinet tonight said that all of the Philip pines, with the exception of Manila, are in the nominal possession of Spain and that it is her undoubted privilege, if she deems it advisable to do so, to send troops to the eastern islands to subdue any in surrection that may occur. Another member of the cabinet, who talked the matter over with the president, admitted that Spain has the moral right to dispatch reinforcements to the Philip pines, but as the forces of this government are in control it is within its authority to prevent such reinforcements reaching their destination. However it is not expected that the matter will go -beyond that pro test if it goes that far. From the dispatches received from Chair man Day the authorities are still of the opinion that the work of the peace com mission will be completed before congress meets. Mr. Day takes quite an optimistic view of the situation. It is his desire to limit the time of discussion of ‘he various points raised as much as possible in order that the negotiations may reach an early con clusion. Information which has been received here shews conclusively that Spain has no further hope of foreign interference and this fact leads the authorities to believe that she will net attempt to drag the ne goiation out a’s long as she would if she believed . there was-a chance-oF any Eu-» ropean government* attempting to secure a modification of the American terms.

Governor Atkinson when here stated, how ever. that the government had promised to muster out the boys and that he- felt sure that the officials would abide by their promise.

MACON NEWS MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER io BLD MAN'S RACE HAS FULLY RUN Old Fighting Chief Geronimo Talks of the Western Rising. WHITE WS COUNTRY Now and the Red Man IVTust Go- Pathetic Words of the Old Rascal and Brave. By Associated Preas. Omaha, Oct. 10.—“ The Minnesota In dianswill see that they have made a great mistake in going on the war path,” says Geronimo, tne famous lApache chief, who is one of the Indians now in camp at tne Indian “I have never been in Minnesota, but I hear tnat up there and for hundreds of miles beyond the white men are as many as the blades of grass. If tnat is so what can a few poor Indians do in a light. For years I fought the white man, thinking that with my few braves I could kill them all and that we would again have the land that our great father gave us and wnicn he covered with game. I thought that the Great Spirit would be with us'and t-hat after we killed the white man the buffalo, deer and antelope would come back. Af ter I fought and lost and after I traveled over the country in which the white man lives and saw his cities and the work that he had done my heart was ready to burst. I knew that the race of the Indians was run.” Asked what he thought would eventually become of the Indian Geronimo hesitated a moment and then, pointing to the west, replied: “The sun rises and shines for a time and then it goes down, sinking out of sight and is lost, so it will be with the Indians.” “When I was a boy my old father told me that the Indians were as many as the leaves on the trees and that way off in the north they had many' horses and furs. I never saw them, but < know that if they were there then they have gone now and the white man has taken all It will be only a few years more until the Indians will be heard of no more except in the books that the white man has writ ten. They are not the people that the Great Father loves, for if they were he would protect them. They have tried to please him, but they do no: know how. “Schools are good things for Indians, but it takes many years to change the na ture of an Indian. If an Indian boy goes to school and learns to be like a white boy he comes back to the agency nd there is nothing for him to do but put on a blanket and be like an Indian again. This is where the government is to blame. When it takes our children away and edu cates them it should give them something to do, not turn them loose to run wild upon the agency. Until that time comes educating the Indian is throwing money ; away. What can an educated Indian do out in the sage brush and cactus? "There will be no more big Indian wars. The Indians’ fighting days are over and there is nothing left for him to do but to be a beggar and live on charity around the agency.” Wanted —100 boys to sell Carnival Edi tions of The News.

Work on the New P'lilding : s Progressing • r a 'dly • Work on the new annex to the city hos pital is progressing rapidly and it will not be many weeks before the building is fin ished. It was thought at one time that iMr. Gresham, the generous donor of the building, would be here this week to lay the corner stone and that it would be one of the features for the Carnival. He was unable to come, however, and the corner stone will have to be laid later on in the fall. The building will be one of the hand somest in the city when it is complet'd and will be a great help to the present hospital which is entirely too small for the number of patients. The laying of the corner stone whenever it takes place will be a big thing and all of the city will turn out to witness it. It is very probable that it will take place seme time next month. SOLDIERS IMPROVING. Those 'n Hospital Arp Getting Better Every Dav. The three soldiers who were sent from , the regimental hospital at Camp Price to the city hospital are improving rapidly and will soon be well enough to be discharged. When carried to the hospital they were very sick men but they have received the best of attention and are doing nicely. Private White, who was at one time re ported dead, is improving every day and will soon be able to be sent home. The men are very much pleased at the change from the camp to the hospital and say that they have never received better treatment anywhere. They are the only sick men in the First Georgia at present. None of the men who remained in camp have been taken sick and the health of the camp is very good. DUNCAN ROSS DOWNED The Champion Swordsman Has Met His Match. By Associated Preee.
