ENCOURAGING Report of Progress of Peace Negotiation Laid Before Cabinet. By Associated Press. Washington. Oct. 28 —The president has enabled today to lay before the cabinet very encouraging reports from Paris re garding the progress of the peace negotia tions. The administration fully believes that negotiations will be concluded much soon er than was expected, from the outlook a few days ago. .IL ea'n be stated authoritatively that the commissioners have not yet actually bgun the discussion of the Philippine question, and further that it will not be taken up until next week. Since the Spaniards have found the American commissioners mean exactly what they say and their presentation of the side of the United States is in reality I an ultimatum, the uselessness of a pro | longed debate, it is said, has become ap j parent to the Spaniards and it is now be lieved the Philippine discussion will be less protracted than was reported some days ago. .MERCER IN FORCE.

FRIDAY OCTOBER 28 1898.. VERY SMOOTH POLITICAL HIT Work of Hon. John T. Boi feuillet in His Race for the Clerkshio. MWEL Os THE STAIE, Some of the Best of Them Want to Know How John Did It, But He Isn’t Giving the Snap Away. Special to The News. Atlanta, Oct. 28.—The election of John T. Boifeuillet as clerk of the house of representatives is regarded as on of the most remarkable political triumphs won in Georgia in years, and he is being hear tily congratulated over his success. No conception of the great edds against which he contended can be had by any ona not on .the scene. The arcade of the Kim all House has been a seething mass of humanity for days and a harder fought political battle has never been witnessed in Georgia. It was the field against Boifeuillet. Three of the candidates, Callaway, Hardin and Frey combined against him, and the exact status of the fourth candidate, H. W. J. Ham, could not be determined. It was not knowm whether he was in the combine or ran as an independent candi date. Callaway is .the private secretary of Gov. Atkinson; Hardin has been the clerk for twenty-five years and Frey has been the assistant clerk for several years and is a brother-in-law of Judge George F. Go ber. Ham is the well-known snollygaster •lecturer. This will give some idea of the strong combination Boifeuillet had to fight single-handed. JEWatejMl -WxwT- Hon. John T. Boifenißet. Then he had to conteract the full power of Gov. W. Y. Atkinson’s administration, with all of its concomitant paraphernalia —office holders of all sorts from the ex ecutive department to janitons, prison commissioners, judges and military digni taries. It seemed that nearly every man Gov. Atkinson ever appointed to office were summoned to help his private secre tary, Callaway, and his combine, in their efforts to defeat Boifeuillet. Such men as Louis Garrard, of Columbus; Judge C. C. 'Smith, Associate Justice Hal Lewis, of the supreme court, Congressman Jim Griggs, Solicitor General Frank Hooper, Chairman J. S. Turner, of the urison com mission; ex-Candidate Bob Berner. Lt. Col. Masons Beek and other equally as prominent men, mostly appointee of Gov. Atkinson, were arrayed against Boifeuil let. 'Many of the military appointments made by Gov. Atkinso’n on account of the Cuban war were brought into line and marshall ed in behalf of his military secretary. But Boifeuillet won over them all. No candidate ever had more or truer friends than the man from Bibb. They came from all parts of the state, and worked for him unceasingly. As little as the outside world might think of it higher stakes were played for in this race than the clerkship. It was a move in the direction of the next United States senatorship. With his private sec retary as clerk of the house of representa tives Gov. Atkinson would occupy an ad vantageous position as a candidate for the senate. The Bibb representatives. Hall, Ellis and Lane rendered Boifeuillet splendid service, and they were aided by Congress man Bartlett. Washington Dessau, N. E. Harris, W. D. Nottingham, S. A. Reid, Hope Polhill and John R. Cooper of Ma con. who came to Atlanta especially to help Boifeuillet. A remarkable feature of Boifeuillet’s race was his receiving the votes of the representatives of the home counties of the four candidates. Troup, the home county of Callaway, Bartow, the home county of Hardin, Cobb, the home county of Frey and Hall the home county of Ham, all voted for Boifeuillet. Each of these counties have two votes. The general inquiry is how did 801- feuillet work his rabbit foot to accom plish this political phenomenon. The wisest politicians don’t know how it was done, and Boifeuillet won’t give away his secret. It is regarded as the smoothest piece of political work done In Georgia in many years, and it had a great effect in obtaining him additional strength. Boi feuillet was the only candidate whose home county representatives supported him. In the caucus he was nominated by Ellis, of Bibb, and the nomination was seconded by Polk of Troup, Morris of Cobb and Knowles of Fulton. Park, who hails from Callaway’s home county, in seconding the nomination of Boifeuillet, said he did so In behalf of he people of Troup, and Morris, who repre sents Cobb, the home county of Frev. said he seconded the nomination in behalf of the Democrats of Cobb. Boifeuillet is overwhelmed with applica tions for assistant clerkship and porters' places. There are at least fifty applicants for clerkship and as many for the eight places of porter, which he fills by appoint ment. Yesterday, just before the nominating caucus was held. Boifeuillet said that the number of his positively pledged votes was 130 of the 165 Democrats in the house, and that if the 7 Populists and ? Republicans were allowed to vote his strength would be I'4o. leaving the combine only 35 votes. The result of the caucus ballot showed that his estimate was probably true, for when the vote stood 89 to 2C in his favor the names of the Callaway combine were withdrawn and the voting ceased, leav ing 60 names not voted, of which 51 would have been recorded for Boifeuillet. Boifeuillet would havereceived theentire populist and Republican votes if they had not been excluded from the caucus. Such prominent Populists as Tom Watson, J. R. Hogan, recent candidate for governor, John D. Cunningham and ohers strongly advocated Boifeuillet’s election. The clerkship of the house of repre sentatives of Georgia is regarded as one of the most influential political positions in the state. OUR COLONIAL CUBAN ARMY Large Number of Cubans Will JBe Recruited Into Regu lar Forces. h| FOR FUTURE Mill Has Been Outlined by Secretary Al ger, Who Will Apply to Con gress for Authority. By Associated Press. N.ew York, Oct. 28.—A dispatch to the Herald from Washington says: Cubans and even Spaniards will be enlist ed for garrison duty In the United States army in connection with the occupation of Cufba, in case congress approves the rec commendation which Secretary Alger will make in his forthcoming annual report. This subject has been frequently dis cussed toy the president and his cabinet and the conclusion reached to provide em ployment for a limited number of Cubans by enlisting them into the army of the United States. As it will not discriminate against any class, men now in the Span ish army in Cuba, who may elect to re main jn the island will be eligible for en listment in the ranks of the American army. It is not proposed at first to accept resi dents of Cuba as organizations, but to en list them individually and assign tjiem to regular regiments with American troops and officers. Eventually regiments composed entirely of native soldiers will be organized and left in charge of the gar risons, from which the American troops will be withdrawn. Secretary Alger, in his annual report to congress, will recommend the enactment of legislation and appropriations for the maintenance of the armies to toe kept in the Several new colony possessions for the next fiscal year. In this connection he will request that authority be expressly given for the enlistment of Cuban soldiers. It is estimated that there are about 15,- 000 Spanish soldiers who Will elect to re main in Cuba and that a large per centage of this number will seek enlistment in the ranks of the regular army. It is also es timated that there are about 60.000 Cu ban insurgents who would gladly accept service in the American army. The au thorities believe, however, that not more than 50,000 men altogether will be neces sary for the garrisons contemplated for Cuba. The Cubans first enlisted will be selected in small numbers and with great care. The department will follow the advice of Maj. .Gen. Butler and give employment to as many as possible of the residents of the island, not only in the army, but in connection with any other work that may be undertaken. By thus encouraging in dustry, it is hoped to avoid any clash with the insurgents. STRUGGLE IN THE STORM. Terrible Experience of a Western Bound Vessel from Bordeaux • By Associated Press.

ALL SITES HAVE BEENJLECTED Colonel Biddle and Major Griffith Have Gone to Columbus. CEIEHI VUE IS HERE. A Force of Hands Will Be Put to Work at Once and Will Finish in Two Weeks. General McKee, of the First army corps, arrived in the city this morning and he will inspect the camp site selected by Colonel Biddle yesterday afternoon and will designate the camp of each regiment that is to come. As soon as this is done the water pipes will be laid. The pipes have been ordered and Fem. cf t' cm have already arrived. Receiver Tinsley said this morning that it would probably take about ten days to lay the pipes and to get the camp in readb ness. General McKee will leave tomorrow to locate other camp sites. The following officers of his staff are in the city: Major Kendall, Captain Smoke and Lieutenant Davis. „ The camp has been selected for the first army corps, which is expected to come here on or about November 10. Col. Biddle, of the engineering corps, gave out the location of the camps last night. All of the ground of the Oemulgee Land Company will be used. It will take almost every spare foot for the camps. Some of the places are too low' and will not be used, tout still they will be con considered as within the camp ground. Col. Biddle said to a News reporter last night: “I am well pleased with the loca tion. It is one of the best I ever caw. It will take all of the land of the company for the camp, however, as some of the places are too low for tents to be pitched upon. I think that the location is very convienient to the city, and when the wa ter mains are laid and the lights put in it will be an ideal spot for the camp.” Maj. Griffith and myself are well pleased with Macon and we feel sure that Gen. .Wilson will be. We will go to Columbus from here and will try to return here by Monday. The city and the water company will proceed to work today to put the camp in shape and will try to have everythingcom plete by November 10, when the troops are expected to arrive. A large water main will be put through the camp, which will give a supply to 10,000 troops if they are sent here. Col. Biddle did not select any building for headquarters, ftyit has several under consideration and will report to General Wilson about the matter. He said last night that a building of fifteen rooms was needed for a headquarters building and that the building should have several stable, If possible, as a number of horses will have to be kept there during the day. The residence of the General has 'been selected, but the officers refused to give it out, as they say that they do not know yet whether or not it will be acceptable to Gen. Wilson. The officers are well pleased with Ma con and say that the town is the most hospitable that they have ever been to. It Is now an assured fact that the troops are coming here. Col. Biddle stated last night that as soon as the camp grounds were rive here and go into winter quarters, put in readiness that the trops would ar- Gen. Wilson is expected To arrive here about a week before the troops. Major Griffith said last night that he thought Gen. Wilson would come here some time next week. A large force of hands will be put to work at teh park tomorrow’and the camp will be laid off as ordered by Col. Biddle. The sinks for each regiment Will have to toe dug, the water main tapped at each company street and electric lights put in every regimental headquarters. All of this, of course, will occupy some length of time, but Mayor Price says that he hopes that it can toe completed in about a week or at least two. He will in form Gen. Wil son when the place is in order so he can notify the war department. The fact that a majority of the supplies for the troops are to be bought in Macon will toe good news to the merchants, as some of them will possibly secure large contracts. The soldiers coming in to the city will put a large amout of money into circulation, as all soldiers are known to spend their'money as fast as they -get it. The hotels wil do a good business as many of the officers will live in the city instead of going into camp.

COMING BACK I TO ARMY AGAIN Boys Are Returning from Fur- • loughs to the Camp on Oemulgee Heights. MUI *lll REMkIR ) To Join the Second Regiment if Senator Bacon’s Plan of Reor ganization Goes Through. , The First Georgia will 'be mustered out I > of service next week. The men will be in I camp by sundown Monday afternoon. Cap- I tain Clarke of the Tenth infantry is here . as mustering out officer, and he will be assisted toy several others detailed for that i purpose. 1 The men were given thirty days’ leave of absence Octeober 1. and that expires ' Monday afternoon and they wil’. have to report for duty again. Many of the sol diers have already returned and are now 1 in camp and th© trains bring in large • numbers every day. It will probably take about ten days to muster the regiment out, as there are many details that are to ■ toe attended to. ■ The soldiers will not be required to drill any more, as the arms will be turned over the first thing next week. Col. Lawton ' stated before the regiment left that there . would be no more drills after the refit ment returend. He will probably arrive I this afternoon or tomorrow and will take charge of the camp at once. The captains and first sergeants of the companies will be busy next week. The pay rolls will have to be made out and j ; that requires some time. A record of all ’ , things belonging to the government will also have to be made out and these things . will have to be turned over to the mus tering out officer. He will take charge ( of the equipments of each company and give each captain a receipt. If the men in j the army wish to keep any of the equip ments they can do so by paying the gov | ernment the actual cost of the article , kept. The soldiers are allowed to retain their uniforms, tout the blankets, canteens I and other articles wil have to toe turned ! over to the mustering out officer. It requires some time to muster out a ( regiment. Every man must be paid off t and each one is allowed so much for tra [ veling expenses and for rations -when tra , veling. Each man is given five cents a mile to the place where he was mustered , in. Some of the soldiers will have a good ’ sum of money besides their regular pay I which they will receive. There is no probability of the regiment ' 'toeing held, but every man who wishes to I remain in the service will be allowed to do I so. It is very probable that the Second , Georgia will be held and the men of the • First who wish to continue in the service ’ will be transferred to that regiment which , if held will be composed of officers and , men who wish to remain in the army. It , is thought, however, that a majority of the First regiment wishes to be finally discharged. All of the men will probably be in camp ' by Monday morning and tne mustering ' out officer will begin work on Tuesday . morning.

Topeka, Oct. 28. —The members of the Twenty-Second Kansas regiment, which have sailed from San Francisco for Ma nila; carrying ballots with them and will vote on Kansas officers, are about midway between Honolulu and Manila. The six hundred men live in Western Kansas, where members of the Legislature have been elected by less than 25 majority. Both state committees that have fully twenty-five members of the legislature in sparsely settled western counties dan be chosen or defeated by this mid-ocean vote. What worries them is the possibility of a delay in receiving the returns until one month after the legislature 'meets. With a very close vote on state officers as is now predicted, still greater complications confront them. \ Old fashions in dress may be revived, but no old fashioned medicine can replace Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy.
