TREMENDOUS SACRIFICES They Say Have Been Made by the Spaniards in the Relinquishrrent Os Porto Rico and the Pas sing of Cuban Debt Question. By Associated Press. Paris, Nov. I.—The French paper® de rive their news of the work of the peace commission from Spanish sources, there fore. morning papers here today are inter esting as Indicating the atmosphere in Up an is h quarters and the trend of French views. it must be recalled that the Spaniards have accepted 'the refusal of the United States to assume any of the Spanish debt and the Cuban question has been set away to wait a place in the final treaty, pro viding the difference over the question over the Philippine islands shall not pre vent the making of any treaty. Aa a whole is composed of parts, bo must the Philippine question be mutually agreed upon or none of those questions |M*evlously agreed <©■ w ’ find e place* in the treaty. This is all the provision or provisional understanding existent. In view of these facts the Paris press today has indicated a tendency to confuse the situation. The Matin says: “It is well understood that the cession of Porto Rico is tanta mount to the payment of a war indemnity In cash and has entirely freed Spain from any subsequent repetition on th.* subject. The Spaniards have declined to concur in separating the debt from the pledge of mortgage from a loan, and as it is impos sible to reach an understanding they have asked that at least the order of the pro tocol be inverted and the question of the Philipp Ines be previously discussed, that question offering the Americans the oppor tunity for tendering some compensation for the enormous sacrifice they have forced upon the conquered. The Ameri cans have finally acceded to the change and have only asked the Spaniards >to ac cept provisionally the claim relating to the Cuban debt, with the understanding that the acceptance will be withdrawn if no agreement is reached as to the Philip pines." Referring to yesterday’s meeting Le Ma tin says: “The Spaniards said they would make their answer known Friday. But it 1b easy to foresee that it would be a re fusal, precise and formal. The Spanish plenipotentiaries have made up their minds that in 'the event of the United States adverting to the Philippine proposi tion to decline signing the act of peace, to break off negotiations and call upon civilized nations on the abuse of force to Which they are to be subjected and the violations of the provisions be set forth in the Washington protocol. The Gaulois remarks; “We hope the negotiations will not be broken, but Bpain, it is certain, would take such a course rather than submit to humiliating UTM” ♦ j .. k.AXA SENATORS TALK On the Retention of the Phil ippines bv the United States. By Associated Press. New York, Nov. I—ln1 —In answer to the query. “Do you favor the proposition to pay Spain $40,000,000 for the Philippine?" eleven United States senators have tele graphed the World expressing their unal terable opposition to any such plan. The senators are Jones and Berry, of Arkansas. Harris, of Kansas. Hale, of Maine, Burrows, of Michigan, Roach, of North Dakota, Chandler, of New Hamp shire, Tillman, of South Carolina, Petti grew. of South Dakota, Sullivan, of Ten nessee. and Daniel, of Virginia. Senator Hale says: “I would not take the Philippines if Spain would give us $40,000,000 with them. The sooner we droo them the better.” Senator Chandler says: “If Spain will pay us $40,000,000 war indemnity I am willing to have her deduct therefrom >40,000,000 for surrendering sovereignty in the Philippines, to which ought to make possible the blessings of religious liberty and self-government as we have given them to Cuba." Senator Tillman says: “I am opposed to paying any sum of money to Spain for the Philippines and am fully opposed to hold ing them as conquered territory. But if ve demand their cessison we could then sell them and help pay the expenses of the war." Senator Pettigrew says: "I am not in favor of acquiring the Philippine islands at any price. They should be allowed to form a government of their own. All governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed." Senator Sullivan Bays: “The retention of the Philippines, which I approve can be justified only as a legitimate result of Spanish outrage and American victory, asHe from the original question of hu manity. I would not pay Spain one dollar more for those islands than she has paid ’ | for the murdered Americans of the ’Maine. Spain necessitated this war, let her pay for it. The Philippines are ours by con quest, not by purchase." HIGHBINDERS Who Traffic in Slave Girls Give Warning to a Minister. By Associated Press. San Francisco, Nov.

EDITORS PUNISHED. Chinese Empress Orders Them Held for Contempt. , By Associated Press. Portland, Ore., Nov. I—The /Northern Pacific steamship Ning Chow has arrived in Portland eighteen days from Yoko hama. The Japan Herald of October 12 says: “A Pekin dispatch under date of Octo ber 10 states that in obedience to the or der of the Empress Dowager .the publica tion of newspapers and periodicals in vari ous parts of the country has been pro hibited and the editors have been severely punished." According to a Tokio contemporary the Russian force which proceeded to Pekin a few days ago consists of forty-nine in fantry and artillery and twenty cossacks and carried two seven pounder guns. The barracks for the .British and German forces are simply temporary ones, while that for the Russian .troops, which are now being constructed seem to be intended for per manent use. A ileoul telegram dated October 11. states that Chief Kim Keung Yu, Hong Chung Sik and one other have been hanged on suspicion of being accomplices in the attempt to poison the Emperor and Crown Prince. Their corpses were afterwards dragged through the streets of Seoul by the people on Monday night, October 10, and were terribly mjitilated with swords. The corpses are still exposed in the prison promises. A message from Peking under date of October 9 states that the new Chiwang-Shan-Halkwan railway has been settled on these terms. England accepts the railway between Tien Tsin and Shan Kwan 'besides the mines in the vicinity as securities instead of the new Chwang-Shan-Haikwan rail way.

I.—The war depart ment is under no apprehension as to the safety of the Maria Teresa, although some fear is expressed in Santiago dispatches that the vessel along with her consorts, have fallen into the sphere of the West Indian cyclone. The Teresa passed Cape Mausf early yesterday morning, 'bound for Hampton 'Roads and signalled all well. By this time, according to the calculations of the naval officers,* she should be well towards the Bahamas, keeping to the eastward and away from the Florida coast.

Washington, Nov. 1. —When Lee was in Washington the earliest date he recom mended for the sending of troops to Cuba was November 15th, and he did this with several reservations, and the suggestion that only small numbers be sent and to particular places where there is little danger of disease and fever. With a view to making arrangements for the troops a board of officers was sent to Cuba to select camp sites and to ascer tain what was needed for the troops. The principal officers of this ‘board, Colonels Hecker and Lee have been ordered to Washington and their report will be care fully considered before the troops are sent to Cuba. The war department, moreover, does not wish to have any conflict with the Spanish troops as to the occupation of the towns, and therefore, desires to send United States troops into Cuba only a very short time before the Spanish troops evac uate. Owing to climatic conditions the United States has not been pressing for an im mediate evacuation, requesting only that reasonable progress -be made by the Span ish authorities. GUNS DEFACED.

MACON NEWS TUESDAY NOVEMBER i 1898. TOO MUCH FEVER STILLJN CUBA Colonel Waring’s Death Has Taught a Lesson to the President. CONDITIONS STILL SERIOUS And the Troops Will Not Be Sent to Cuba for Some Time Later than at First Expected. By Associated Press. New York, Nov. I—A dispatch to the Herald from Washington says: Colonel -Waring’s startling death has been a dominant factor In the change of plan on the part of the administration as to the time of the sailing of the United States troops for Cuba. In the official or ders “on or before 'November 3rd,” had been mentioned and had been received as final, but there will be a delay of proba bly three weeks. A high official said that this delay would not be regretted by the administration, because If otherwise the troops would be thrown into needless d-an ger. It was recalled that three persons who went with the commission had been quartered -under the best auspices and had died. Had not the attention of the ad minisration been thus sharply drawn to climatic dangers there would have been an attempt to start off the Seventh army corps from Savannah at an early date. But as it turns out this would have been impossible owing to the lack of pre paration in the department of transpor tation. Os the transports owned -by the government on the Atlantic coast, all but four are undergoing repairs. It is not contemplated that the day of taking formal possession of Cuba -will be postponed beyond December Ist, and Jan uary Ist has been fixed upon as the limit with which the evacuation must take place. But it is not believed that the undertaking can be accomplished in so short a time. The report that this government would contribute towards the expense of trans portation was denied with emphasis at the office of the secretary of war. The author ities do not seem in such haste since the dangers to our troops have been empha sized. In connection with the relief of General Graham, it is stated that General Lawton will go to Cuba with a part of the Second army corps, to be designated later. Lieutenant Colonel A. S. Rowan, who was detailed to make a tour of explora tion through Cuba, has just returned to Washington. He tr„ vied from Santiago to iPinar del Rio, about 800 ‘miles, visit ing the camps of the insurgents as he went. He found them tractable and dis posed to yield to the policy of this gov ernment. “The people in this country,” said Lieu tenant Colonel Rowan, “do not understand why the insurgents are willing to give up their arms. At the -beginning of the "war It was decreed that to the -Cubans under arms, all property should be in common, so that no objection is made even now to insurgents helping -themselves wherever food offers itself. Should they lay down their arms the right to thus take property where they -found it would not exist.” Colonel 'Rowan thinks about 20,000 Cu ban soldiers are now left. Most of them are armed only with a machette, and Col onel Rowan thought that as that was used as an implement of peace also it would not be considerate to take it away. “There is one possible cause of vexation that seems to have been overlooked,” said Colonel Rowan, “namely, the Spanish guerrillas and volunteers. These guerril las are in many instances no better than brigands. The Spaniards are chasing them over the island trying to disarm them. As nearly as can be ascertained, there are about 60,000 volunteers and 20,000 guerril las, and Colonel Rowan does not view the problem of disarming them as simple. Colonel Rowan 'believes that the Span ish troops will be drawn in toward Hava na as far as possible, so that this point may 'be the last one to be evacuated. He called attention to the fact that the cus toms receipts there now amoun-t to sl,- 500,000 a month—an inducement that would cause Blanco to linger as long as possible. 'Colonel Rowan views in a de veloped form, together with recommenda tions of certain points for garrisons will be comprised in his report. TYSOiOPPOINTED To Succeed Mr. Dietz as Grand Secretary. Grand Master T. L. Gruzzard yesterday appointed Mr. John S. Tyson, of Savan nah, grand secretary of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, -to succeed Mr. Jno. G. Deitz, who died a few days ago. Dr. T. A. Cheatham, of this city, was a candidate for the place, but as soon as he learned that 'Mr. Tyson was a candidate he Immediately withdrew from the race. He had a strong following and his friends were anxious for him to remain in the race, <but he decided not to run against iMr. Tyson. Mr. Tyson has been grand treasurer of the order for the past twenty-five years and his appointment will no doubt meet with the approval of the Odd Fellows throughout the state. The secretaryship pays a salary of about S9OO per annum as the secretary also acts as scribe at the grand encampment. The appointment of Mr. Tyson removes the office of the secretary from Macon for the first time in thirty years. Mr. Tyson will hold the office until the next session of the grand lodge, which will be held next June and it is thought that he will be re-elected. CARRIED TO MILLEDGEVILLE.

When asked what in his opinion was the weakness of the medical department Bates said he thought a great mistake was made in not sending medical officers in suffi cient number with the regiments ordered to the field. Additional transportation should be furnished for medical officers and medical supplies, ambulances and horses. Dr. Conners asked: “What do you think of the propriety allowing female nurses to accompany the army into fields?” “I think it is perfectly proper to have them in large hospitals, but not in the regimental hospitals,” was the reply.

REORGANIZATION OF THE ARMY For the Purpose of Garrison ing United States Posses sions Gets Attention, COMPLAINTS OF VOLUNTEERS And Requests from Them to Re turned to Their Homes Receives Very Little Attention. By Associated Press. Washington, Nov. 1. —The request of the First Colorado infantry to be returned from Manila to the United State® cannot be granted by the war department. It is stated by officers of the army today that such requests have been frequent from soldiers of volunteer organizations who enlisted to fight but did not enlist for garrison duty. The desire of this regi ment to return home is simply the desire of other volunteers, and nothing could be done ,an officer said, until congress met and provided some kind of force to take the place of the volunteers. The subject of reorganizing the army with a view to securing an adequate forca for the new possessions of the United States has already received serious con sideration from the president, secretary of war and officers of the army. The pres ident will make the recommendations to congress on this subject, embodying his views and the views of those in a position to give the very best advice. It is probable that he will recommend an increase of the army to something like 100,000 men, although this is not certain, and he may think 75,000 enough. There has been some talk also of using for garrison duty two companies or bat talions of natives to each regiment doing garrison duty in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines. It is believed by this method a considerable portion of the restless pop ulation of the islands, and especially those who have been bearing the arms of the insurgents or the Spanisn armies, can be kept quiet and law abiding. It is stated by officers of the army that the duties devolving upon the troops un der the new order of things caauot be sat isfactory to the volunteers, and an army will have to be provided which will go where it is sent without complaints of any kind. Men who enlist in the regular army hereafter will understand that they are likely ito be called upon at any time to go out of the country and garrison distant lauds for long periods. It is believed that the demands which have been made upon the senators and representatives for a muster out of the volunteer regiments and the discharge of volunteers in the regiments which have remained in the service has been so great that they will be convinced that a regular army for garrison duty in the new pos sessions is an absolute necessity. • NEW TRAIN. First Trip Was Made Yester day—Manv Passengers Came In, The new train put on by the Central railroad made its first trip from Covington yesterday.

The people along .the line have been clamoring for this train for some time and now they have it.

He was formerly employed on the railroad, but more recently has been a p. -jacher and ex horter. It seems that some months ago a confirmation of his license was refused and this seemed to distres, him consider- * ably and he Became erratic. Some time ago he made similar threats against his son and a warrant was taken out but was withdrawn. The event caused considerable excite ment in South 'Macon this morning. Deputy ' Sheriff Amason made the arrest without ' any difficulty and Mr. Randall is now per fectly quiet at the jail with the exception of, these evidences of insanity. His- neigh bors say that he has been a peaceable man but of late years possessed with a religious 1 mania. The Domingos stock has ’ been moved to Holt’s* old J stand, Triangular Block.

It is not improbable that Chief of Po lice John T. Boifeuillet will tender his resignation at a meeting of council to nghit. It was rupiored on the streets this morn ing that he had already sent in resigna tion but the mayor when asked about the matter declined to talk. It will probably be known at council meeting tonight, and if the resignation is sent in a new chief will be elected at once. Several names have been mentioned, as candidates for the place, but it is thought that Lieutenant Clarke will be appointed. He is a splendid officer and is capable of filling the office. He has been on the force for a number of years and fully understands the duties of the chief. ! ELKS MEET TONIGHT. About Twenty New Members Will Be In itiated.
