RESUMPTION OF HOSTILITIES Is Not at All Improbable Though Spain is Verv Anxious MT TO IOS! THE CANARIES. Would Be the First Point Attacked in Event Commissioners Refuse to Yield the Philippines. By Associated Press. Madrid, Nov. 11.—The Heraido this morning asserts that the Spanish govern ment. has resolved to maintain Spain’s sovereignty in the .Philippine Islands, ami it adds that it has been suggested that Emperor William of Germany, who is ex pected to visit Cadiz ami .Madriz soon, on his way back to Germany from the Holy Lind, will ibe asked to arbitrate t.he ques tion in dispute .between Spain in the •event that the peace commissioners of the two countries now in session in Paris, fail to come to an agreement.

Nov. 11..—A dispatch to the Airraid fiimi Washington says: Instead of payfag Spain $40.0(10,000 as nn indemnity for the transfer of the Phil ippine Islands to the United States, Pres ident McKinh y intends to reimburse her only for the debt of about $1,000,000 con tracted for the public improvements. President McKinley and his cabinet have carefully noted that the sentiment <Apressed throughout the country by the s’bstions has been In opposition to the vuggi’stion of indemnity to Spain to the extent proposed. As was put out by the administration authorities it was intended to give the capital of the entire debt float ed. with the Chilippine Islands as security nnd amounting to $40.(>00.0000. What will be paid by the United States. What will be paid by the United States according to the present intention of the president, is the debt contracted 'by Spain for the es tablishment of light houses, harbor im provements ami public buildings. All told, this does not amount to « very large sum, being fixed at about $1,000,000. Firiende of Spain in the diplomatic corps say that It Is an outrage for the president to offer such a small sum. “Perhaps it would be the best thing for Spain if she should rid herself of the Phil ipplnese." said one of these gentlemen, "’but surely it is not right that the United States should satisfy only a small portion of the debt, leaving her with the remain der on her hands and with a lowtreasury .toineetit.” It is not believed in official circles here that Spain will withdraw her commission from Faris. She has no desire to lose the Canary islands, and she is apprehensive that in case of a resumption of hostilities the American government would seize and perhaps hold them. A high administration official says that in case of the withdrawal of the Spanish commissioners, the United States govern ment would complete the military occupa tion of the Philippines and would take I •such steps as it might deem advisable for this protection of the country’s rights in the far east. Front Mr. Day the officials have learned that the American commissioners yester day presented the reply to the Spanish re fusal to surrender the islands and it is expected that now the administration has been so satisfactorily endorsed by the . country, the Spaniards will appreciate the ■ hopelessness of their position and accede , to the demands of this government.

DIRECT LINE OF BOATS Is'Needed and Would Be of Benefit to Both Countries—Plenty of Capital There Now. By Associated Press. New York, Nov. 11.—Julio Carris, of Buenos Ayres, formerly charge d’affairs from tbe Argentine Republic to this coun try, and more recently diplomatic repre sentative of Argentina in other countries, is now in the city on a brief visit. 'He left Buenos Ayres two and a bait months ago. and at that time he says the business conditions were improving rap idly. In his opinion this country now of fers excellent opportunities for the United States enterprises and capitalists. He is a believer in the future of Argentina and is an admirer of American character and institutions. Mr. 'Garris expresses a desire to see closer relations develop between the two cou tries. ‘‘The people of my country have a very friendly feeling for the United States,” said Mr. Carris. “Considerable machinery, especially agricultural implements, from the United States have found its way into Argentina and the people there like it. In my opinion this is an admirable time for the United States to extend its trade to my country. Argentina has passed through a financial crisis and the fact that busi ness conditions are steadily improving there is shown by the rapid decrease in the premium on gold. When I left there three weeks ago there was a premium of sixty-seven on gold. Now the premium is down to twenty-seven. “General Raco and the entire present administration is progressive and soon there will be a demand for new railroads to develop the southern part of the repub lic. American capital might find profita ble employment in building these rail roads. “It seems to me that there should be a direct line of American steamships be tween New York and Argentina ports. “Such a line would naturally be of very great advantage to American merchants and I believe that eventually it would pay well. Ait first, no doubt, it would be nec essary to subsidize it but that could be done in the way of government postal subsidy. Certainly 'anything that thia government could do in the way of in creasing and developing the postal facili ties between the United States and the Argentine republic would be of immense benefit to both countries. At present there is no line of American ships between your country and Argentina. The British have several regular lines, so have the French, the Germans and the Itialiabo, and even the Spanish. “I have heard more or less talk about establishing an American bank in Argen tina. That would be a good idea for the United States’ interests and it would fos ter trade relations between the people of th two countris. Os course we do not need American capital as there is an abundance of 'British capital in our country. All of our railroads thus far have been built by British capital. A few Americans have started in business in the Argentine Re public and they are doing well. There could not be a much, better field to work. In. a territory with a population of 4,000,- 000, >we were able to export in 1897 good of the value of $100,000,000. This same territory is capable of supporting 200,000,- 000 people. I think the Southern part of our republic in going to be the new Ar gentina. That section has a cooler cli mate, wonderfully fertile of soil and is free from locusts, which have been such a damaging plague Ln the northern part of the republic. AT POLICE STATION. ’ Several Caser Disposed of in the Recorder’s l Court this Morning. t Judge Freeman was kept (busier this • morning than he has been in some time. : The number of cases on the docket were larger than usual.

The watch is a very ■ fine one, and contained the picture of a lady and a gentleman. Montague claims that he bought the watch at a pawn shop in 'Cincinnati, but the officers are disin clined to 'believe his story. ’ He says that he ha sanother watch in his car. The ease was continued until the officers have time to look into the case. The officers think that they have captured a slick thief and will investigate the mat ter. ’ Charley Mills,’ who was charged with fighting and disorderly .conduct, was dis missed. Charley told such a nice tale that Judge Freeman told him to go. W. D. Tracy was fined $2.50 for getting on a plan drunk. Judge Freeman remarked that Tracy had almost gotten trimmings on his drunk when arrested and that it was lucky for him that he was pulled at tfae right time or the fine might have been heavier. John Thomas was also fined $2.50 for a , drunk. He stated to the recorder that he had no idea that he was taking too much until he found himself in the police sta tion. Henry Clay was fined $2.50 for being drunk. J. M. Estes was charged with being drunk, but his case was continued until tomorrow.

IT CIMfE CIUB Stable and Two Horses Gsne—Good Work Was Done by the* Department. Three fires # broke out in the city last night within four hours. The damage dona was very great and much property was destroyed. The first fire was at a stable in the rear of the Cherokee C-lulb. The next was the Guernsey building on Cotton avenue and the last and most disastrous was at Put zel s Vaudeville theater, which was total ly destroyed. The fire adarm was rung in at 10 o’clock and the department was called to the sta ble in the rear of the Cherokee Club, which is used by Dr. A. M. Burt. When the department arrived the stable was in flames and it was impossible to save it. Two valuable horses, one belong to Dr. 'Burt and the other to Waterman & Co., were 'burned. The building was a total loss. The fire alarm was rung in at 10 o’clock and the departmemt was called to 'the Guernsey building on Cotton avenue. The whole upper story was found to be in flames and it was thought for a time that the whole block would go. A general alarm was turned in and in a few minutes several streams of water were playing on the flames. The building continued to burn, however, and it was only iby hard work that the firemen got the flames un der control. While the department was hard at work en the Guernsey building another alarm was turned in, which called a part of the depaftment to Putzel’s Vaudeville theater, in the rear of his bar. The building was one mass of flames when the department arrived and the rear of the store of Ether idge & 'Baker was also burning. It was seen that the theater could not be saved and the department went to work on the other 'buildings. Th flames were extinguished about 5 o’clock this morning Only the upper story of the Guernsey building is damaged. The store on the ground floor were considera bly damaged by water, however, and the damage to the stocks is very large, Putzel’s theater was burned to the ground and is a complete loss. It is not known how any of the fires originated, but it is though that Putzel’s was set on fire. The fire started in the r°ar of tha (building. There Was no fire left in the building after tho performance was over end nobody was in the building when tha fire was discovered. The firemen thought at one time that it would be impossible to save the build ing of 'Etheridge & Baker, but by hard work they extinguished the flames before any great damage was done. It is thought that the fire in the Guern sey building caught from a taylor shop on t!he second floor. AU of the (buildings were well insured. The loss is estimated at about $20,000. Putzel’s theater was owned by Mrs. Maggie Donohue, and the Gurnsey build ing by 'Mrs. C. G. Wilbourn. Following Is the amount of insurance: H. Horne —Putzel’s, $3,000; Etheirdge & Baker, SI,OOO.

Klaw and Erlanger, the theatri cal agents of New York that those people who went to the Academy of Music last night and who do not like vulgarity in its essence were insulted with such a per formance and such a company as the “Hired Girl.” Messrs. Klaw and Erlanger ought to bo sued for damages by the local manage ment. They have done the house an irre-; parable injury for this season. Those re spectable people who were in the house last night will not readily forgive the (out rage while those who were not there, but who have no doubt heard about it, will be timid for some time to come. So long as Messrs. Klaw and Erlanger have the im pudence to foist such abominable and in decent productions upon the people of the Southern circuit, houses In cities the size of Macon will continue to lose money for the stockholders and the theatre will fall more and more into disrepute. The Academy of Music at Macon is one of the first-class houses of the South and is not or should not be open to such per- Music last night. It is miss-called a musical comedy. It is not musical and it is not a comedy. It should be billed as a vulgar unmusical farce and would then probably find easy booking at the second-class vaudeville houses in cities of oyer a thousand people, , tisTheteresa On Shore Off Cat Island and in Hands of Wreckers.

By Associated Press. Washington, Nov. 11 —A special to the Star from Wilmington, N. C.; describes the situation today as follows: This disturbed and a -long perturbed community seems at last entering upon a new era of peace and order. A complete change of the municipal government of suddenness but great equanimity has placed men in control of local affairs representing the best element of the city. The firm hand of the law is being laid upon the town and is holding in restraint all classes which might threaten disorder. The first act of the new government was to swear in 250 special policemen. The men selected for these positions are instructed to prevent any attempts to terrorize the negroes as well as to frustrate acts of law lessness by the latter. The good government put to a test im mediately and the new officials were call ed. upon almost before they had taken their seats to make good their promises to preserve order. A big lynching party was planned for ■tonight and it required all the mayor and his associates could do to prevent it. There -are-six negroes in the jail who had been arresfed during the excitement of the day and whom some people of the town thought should be summarily despatched. One prominent leader, Thomas Miller, charged, with declaring that fie would wash his in white man’s blood be fore night. Another was A. R. Bryant charged with being a dangerous character. The others are less prominent but have ■been under the ban of the whites for con duct calculated to incite trouble. Mayor Waddell and his associates put a veto upon the proposed lynching. They said that good government was to prevail in Wilmington from this time and would commence immediately, The lynchers were so Insistent that the mayor called out the guard and kept the jail surrounded all night. This morning the six negroes were taken out and escorted to the northern 'boundary by a detachment of militia to be banished from the city. The citizens cheered as they saw them going, This is but the beginning of a gen eral movement to rid the town of the tur bulent negro leaders. It is not proposed to use violence but to send them away with instructions not to return. Squads of men are out today searching for the most notorious charac ters and they will be deported. As found last night the white Republi can deputy sheriff, French, has left the ■city. He was followed to the train ami narrowly escaped violence. A party of men went into the car determined to take him cut. The arrival of Fred 'Stedman one of the most conservative, cool headed 1 men in the town while being at the same time a leader of the movement for white supremacy, frustrated the attempt. He was joined by two other citizens and the three persuaded the crowd to let French go. French is prominent in Republican poli tics and has been charged with organizing the negroes. Several white men in the community who become obnoxious from their leadership of and association with negro politics are also to be deported Notice was served upon three of them this morning to ieayo within twenty-four hours. They are ex-Chief of Police Mel ton, Charles Gilbert, and E. H. Hunting On Market street two pictures were dig played from the branch of a tree, one labele.d “E. H.

Last night the residences of several white miners were shot into by -winchesters in the hands of colored men. A white widow’s cottage was pierced re peatedly by ballets, several charges barely missing three children. The militia say that they cannot appre hend the culprits.
