Unless They Are Given a Very Considerable Amount More Than the United States Commissioners Are at Pres ent Authorized to Offer, NO SESSION TODAY Spaniards Asked for a Post oonement Until Wednes day Which Was Granted. FEAR POLITICAL DEATH If They Give Up the Philippines Without Reducing the Spanish Debt- Might Be Victims of jMob Violence. Uy Associated Press. Paris, Nov. 14.—J t is decided that there will be no joint sessions of -the peace com mission today. Secretary Moore of the United States commission received from Secretary Ojeda of the Spanish commission this morning a note saying that the Spanish commissioners had found it Impossible to prepare the memorandum for presentation today, and asking if the United States commissioners would be In (ton vie need if, owing to the late arrival from Madrid of the expected •date the Spaniards should request that the next meeting be deferred until Wednes day. Secretary Moore replied that the Ameri can commissioners were quite ready to ac momimojato the Spanish commissioners in this .mar.ter and the session is practically •deferred until Wednesday next. importance Is ataehed |*> this delay, it bd.ng regarded as indicating that the • Spanish commissioners are preparing for a final stand on the negotiations and it 'may mow be definitely stated that they will not. •sign a treaty of poaee which yields to (Spain no more from the Philippine islands cth»n 'has thus far 'been offered or indi wated l>y the Americans. Should the latter announce that the United States are only willing ,to reim burse Spain for specific expenditures on the Philippine islands the Spanish com missioner* will reply that their mission is finished. Shouki this occur it is possible itheSpan iards will also suggest the suspension of 'negotiations through the commission and tie' resumption of negotiations between 'Madrid and Washington. This attitude of the Spaniards is explained by the fact that the members of the Spanish commission have ixdltloal alliances and Jhe personal responsibilities to their constituencies and national creditors of 'Spain would restrict them on certain lines, which is as far as :tho ministry at Madrid cares to go. It is pointed out that if the five Span ish commissioners here signed the treaty ytklWing the Philippine islands to the Uni ted States without lessening Spain's debt tn an appreciable amount they would not jreturn home with then rospect of any po litical future before them and possibly be in danger of violence at the hands of mobs. At the next meeting of the commissions the Americans will learn the definite atti tude of Spain on any proposition thus far made. The Spaniards, however, in this presentations will not declare all the ne gotiations closed. They insist on the sovereignty of Spain over the Philippines boyond question.but will announce Spain’s readiness to yield that sovereignty for an adequate equipment and will then invite mwtiations under the Spanish construc tion of the protocol. The American com missioners may they communicate their final altitude to the Spaniards, 'but the Americans expected at a future meeting -to present a carefully prepared conclusion ■of their contention and conditions. Should they be different, from those already pre sented the time will then have arrived •when Spain will declare herself helpless though steadfast, and* will await the next step of the United States, whatever it may be. Thus Spain will be able to say to her •creditors that she has done her utmost and the issue must .between them and rhe United States. To Spain is a Matter of Inter est to All Europe. By Associated Press. New York. Nov. 14.—A special to the Herald from 'Madrid says: Nearly all the heads of the diplomatic corps have caMed to the ministry for for eign affairs to inquire what importance is to be atached to 'the visit of the German emperor. The government has made little of the matter and it has intimated that it ac cepts as an inevitable outcome of events being forced to relinquish the sovereignty of Spain in the Philipines. The visit of Emperor William has ex- i cited the greatest interest in England and France and the representatives of both ' countries have been particularly eager un dec instructions from their governments ■ tn asking for details. They, have been as- . sured that the visit here of the Spanish - umbassador in Berlin is purely casual and 1 that under the circumstances it is nothing i less than natural. The more staid portion of the political . world does not attach much importance | to the imperial visit and looks upon it ae perhaps merely serving to arouse hopes which cannot be realized. It remains, however, at the present mo ment a matter of political record that there exists a sentiment here that France of late has been of email utility to Spain in spite of her assurance of friendship and perhaps the Philippine clause of the pro tocol has much to do 'with the origin of this sentiment. The queen regent is cred ited with a desire to seek assistance from more northern empires and it is true she would not prefer to be allied with the tri ple alliance rather than with <he Franco ftussian combination. ; CONSTRUCTION COURSE. For Cadets Will Be Established at Annap olis. By Associated Press. New York, Nov. 14--A dispatch to the Herald from Washington says: It la expected that the board, of which Rear is president, will as semble this week at Annapolis for the pur pose of establishing a construction course for the education of cadets. Naval Con structor Hobson established such a course a year ago at the naval academy but It was not entirely satisfactory to the de partment, and Rear Admiral Howell, with two constructors, was ordered to prepare a course to take its place. The department has been very much embarrassed in this direction since the withdrawal‘by France and England of the privileges hitherto accorded American naval cadets of undergoing training in construction in the technical schools at Greenwich and Paris. Secretary Long has completed that por tion of his annual report recommending to congress that it amend the civil service laws so as ,o permit preference to be shown to applicants for appointments who have served in the Spanish war. Prefer ence is noiv, shown to civil war veterans but the secretary feels that such prefer ence should now be extended to those who participated in the recent struggle. lit is believed that a measure adopting the re commendation will be passed. ■A fifteen-inch plate representing a group of armor for the barbettes of the battleship Alabama will be tested this week at the Indian Head proving grounds. The plate is practically the same as that recently tested for the barbette of the bat tleship Wisconsin. Civil Engineer F. Chambers has receiv ed his orders to proceed to Samoa but has not started for that point as was recently announced. 'He will only start for Apia when the store house and pier have been completed and in such shape that all will be necessary upon arrival at their destina tion will be 'to put them together.

The funeral will take place at 11 o’clock tomorrow morning from 'St. Joseph’s Ca tholic church of which the deceased was a devout member. Or. Ingalls has, for the last two or three years, been a.sufferer from heart disease and a sudden ending of his life was anticipated by his physician, his fam ily and his friends. But notwithstanding this preparatior the announcement of his death was ( shock that spread a gloom over a larg J part of this community in which he h' J lived, an honored, respected and be hr citizen for more than a quarter of a c teury. Few men have lived out their years to almost the allotted span and maintained so high a standard of character among their fellows as did the good man whose end came so suddenly, yet peacefully, jn the first few moments of the Sabbath day. 'He had been at his business during the day. and, as was his custom, returned ■home rather late after 'the work of the day was done. While preparing to retire he was seized with an attack resulting from the condition of his heart, and ’Dr. Met tauer was summoned. The doctor saw almost immediately 'that his patient was beyond human aid. The end came almost imperceptibly. There was nothing but 3 sigh to mark the passage from life to death, and a great and good soul went to its reward in the home of the Father. A loving wife and sister, his sole ctynpanions and the center of his existence.were beside him to bid the last farewell, and in their great sorrow friends join in sympathetic mourning, the sincerity of which is un feigned and deep. Dr. Ingalls was a native of South Caro line. He ppme to Macon while the tow*i was still young and since coming here he has .been engaged ip the drug business. He was between sixty and seventy years of age. but to the last he maintained his vigor*of mind. Notwithstanding his full knowledge of the critical eenmtion of his health his courage never failed him and to the last he bore the burden of his daily work. A courteous, kindly , modest gentle man he lived and walked among his fellow men winning and holding their respect and affection. He was for some time an aiderman. but never’ mixed actively in politics though offered frequently posi tions of honor in the eity. He was a valued and active member of the board of health and always took a deep interest tn the affairs of the city and state. A man of education and refinement he selected his close friends carefully and was ever ready with assistance and advice to the younger men. This advice was good and valuable and the example he .set cannot but encourage others to better and nobler things. In his profession as a pharmacist he had no superior. A member of the national association he took a great pleasure in the meetings of that organization, the attend- I ance on which was one of the few, and of j late years, the only relaxation he took I from work. His wife and sister. Miss I Emily Giles, are the only members of his family, and they have the deepest sym- I pathy of hundreds of friends who sorrow i with them in their affliction. The funeral will be held at 11 o’clock i tomorrow morning from set. Joseph's Ca ; tholic church: interment at Riverside. The i following gentlemen will act as pall bear i ers: Messrs. H. J. Lamar, John S. Hoge, i T. L. Massenburg, T. A. Cheatham, Jo seph Riley. L W. Holingsworth. JI. Mc- Kervey and Max Morris. • MUTINY” IS OVER. By Associated Press.

By Associated Press. New York, Nov. 14.—'A dispatch to the Herald from Havana describes the arrival there of Gen. Garcia and his fellow en voys, enroute to Washington on a mis sion from the Cuban government. They journeyed from Santa Cruz del Sur to Battabano, on the south coast by steam er. As the boat neared the wharf in Bat i tabano there was seen a strong battalion of Spanish troops drawn up as a guard of honor for the reception of the commission ers; i The Cubans at first 'thought that some objection was to be made to Garcia’s land ing. This, however, was marked by no incident and he quietly 'boarded the train at Battabano and at all stations along the route large crowds of . spectators out to see the Cuban leader. With the exception of a few cheers there were no demonstrations until the train stopped at Cienaga, a few mike from Havana.

Contrary to these expectations, he return ed to enter the city, principaly with the object of seeing his mother. He left the train at Carlos Tercero, the next station to the terminus at Villa Neuva. There a huge crowd awaited him and it iwas 'With difficulty that he was able to escape.

SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS • 111 Will Be Distributed Among the Offi cers and Men of His Ship — Other Prize Money. By Associated Press. New York, Nov. 14—'A dispatch to the Tribune from Washington says: Captain Sigsbee, who commanded the Maine, will be the first officer of the navy to secure an allotment of prize money on account of the war with Spain. The judge advocate general Os the navy has transmitted to the fourth auditor of the treasury the legal documents in the case of the British collier, (Restormel,, which was captured by Captain Sigsbee when in command of the auxiliary cruiser St. iPaul off Santiago to which port the steamer waswboun-d in an attempt to de liver coal to Cervera’s squadron. Had the mission of the Restormel been successful it is not likely that the Spanish vessels would have remained so long as they did in Santiago harbor, especially as they would have escaped before Admiral Samp son had an opportunity to establish the’ systematic blockade which eventually re sulted in*their swift destruction. Although the Restormel was released by the American prize .court, her cargo was declared within ihe prize statutes and was appraised at $13,000. According to the law half of this amount goes to the govern ment and the other half to the officers and crew of the vessel making ithe capture. The treasury department is fully prepared to make the payments at once and within a few days it is expected that government checks will be mailed to all aboard the St. Paul entitled to participate in the $6,500 including the employes of the American line who volunteered for service on. the steamer when she iwas commissioned in the navy. As 'Captain Sigsbee at the time of the capture was acting independently of any superior officer he will receive the. maximum share allowed to a command ing officer toy the statutes which is three twentieths of the net proceeds of the prize, amounting in this instance of $075, the remaining $5,525 being divided among all others borne unon the books of the ship at the rates of their respective pay. Had the Restormel been of equal or superior force to the St. Paul none of the money would have been ‘ decreed ,to the United States but the entire prize would have gone to the St. Paul. The navy department is rapidly com pleting the adjudication of the numerous prize awards resulting from the war and in. a few weeks most of them will ibe paid. The case of the Restormel was finished first covering the destruction 'because it was the simplest, the most complex being that of the Spanish fleet in 'Manila ihanbor by Admiral Dewey’s squadron and that of the battle of July 3, the latter involving by far the greatest amount of money and presenting the greatest difficulty. Admiral Sampson will get one-twentieth of ’the bounty of Cervera's fleet and Admiral Schley one-fiftieth. TEACHER RESIGNS.' Miss Mary Lou Sullivan Has Left the Alex ander Free School.

MRS FELTON WAS ■ CAUSE JF IT ALL Negro Editor of Wilmington, Tells How Came to Write Obnoxious Editorial. 10* II ISllffl Pill Where He Went He Was Warned to Leave the City of Wilmington —Lost His Pile. By Associated Press. New York, Noy. 14.—A dispatch to the •Herald from Aebury Park, N. J., says: A. L. Manly, editor of the Wilmington (N. C.) 'Record, whose office was destroy ed by white citizens on Thursday, is now in Asbury Park with his brother-in-law, •Rev. I. N. Giles. He fled from Wilming ton to escape probable lynching by the mob which had sworn to have his life. It was through an editorial in the Record that the recent rioting in Wilmington and the atendant loss of life came abowt. When seen Manly said that while he was perfectly willing to tell the story of his troubles as far as he himself was con cerned he could not make it public atpres ■ent as the safety of might be af fected. 'Manly said it all grew out of the fact that the much 'talked of editorial in the Record had been misquoted by the press of 'North Carolina and only parts of it had been printed with editorials tending to in flame the whites of the South. This he said had been done to try to scare the white voters for political effect. He d*id not seem to think that the editors of the papers which had started the blaze of riot realized the harm which would 'follow the articles printed in their papers. The edi torial which appeared in the Record,Manly said, was caled forth by a speech’ made by Mrs. Felton before the agricultural so ciety of Tybee Island, Ga., early in Au gust. 'During her spech iMrs. Felton said that money which was collected for for eign missions could be spent to a 'better advantage at home in educating young white girls. She said that owing to the carelessness of poor white men of the 'South their girls are left victims of the colored men. Then she spoke occording to Manly’s statement of the low moral stand ing of the colored .race. He says she ad vocated lynching as the only means of eradicating these evils. Manly’s editorial in the Record was a reply to Mrs. Felton’s speech. This edi torial inflamed a large portion of Neorth 'Carolina. Manly says he did not intend to attack’ any class or race, but simply wrote as he did io defend the defamed colored man. In this editorial Many said: “Poor White men are careless in the matte, of protecti'ng their women, es pecially on the farms. They are careless of their conduct toward them, and our ex perience among poor white people in the country teaches us that women of that race are not more particular in the matter of clandestine meetings with colored men then are the white men with colored wo men. 'Meetings of this kind go on for some time until the woman's Infatuation or the man’s boldness brings attention to them and the man is lynched.” The very long editorial from Which the above is taken was published on August 18. Manly says that for nearly a week ■after it was printed nothing was said to him about it by the residents of Wilming ton or vicinity and his relations with them were of the usually friendly nature until the white press took up the matter nearly a week later. From that time until now they have attacked 'him and his paper bn every conceivable way until at last he was compelled to flee for his life. When asked as to the present situaUon at Wilmington Manly said he had been absent for several days and he preferred np| to be quoted as expressing an opinion on that subject. 'When asked if he intended to return to North Carolina he replied that that was another question which he could not an swer at present.. There were facts con nected with that part of the story whi«h might affect others and he thought it would be best not to say anything about his futiwe prospects. Manly would not tell how much 'his losses were at the hands of the mob. All he would say was that he had lost every thing he owned in the world. He carried an insurance On his property, but he said there was no clause in the policy which insured against the fury of a mob. BADLY BEATEN. Georgia Lost to the University of North Car-, olina Saturday. The University of Georgia football team was defeated Saturday afternoon by the team from Carolina by a score of 44 to 0. The Georgia boys were greatly surprised and so were the spectators. The Carolina men were in excellent trim and at no point in the game could Georgia resist the terrific onslaught of the “Tar Heels” backs. From the first of the game lit was seen that Georgia was out-classed and it was only a question as to how much the score would be. Georgia would probably have held thd score down had not Coach McCarthy taken out Mclntosh and McCutcheon, two of Georgia’s star players. They were playing fine ball but their work djd not suit Mc- Carthy and he replaced them with substi tutes. The work of the Carolina team was the Ebesit that has ever been seen in Ma con. Their interference was perfect and it was almost iimnossible to burst It up. Graves, theii*full back, ploughed through Georgia’s tackles for five and ten yards time after time and he is the best line bucker ever seen on the field here. , The Georgia boys did not get the ball on dwons a single time and when they did get it they could make no gains. dyßisnou played a magnificent gflme fqr Georgia and made some of the most brilliant tackle* eves seen »n Macop. The wprk Huff and Jones for Georgia 1? al 3o worthy of mention. McCutcheon was also playing a star game until the time be was put out. Coach Reynolds, of the Carolina team, said after the game that he was expecting to beat Georgia 20 to 0, but was surprised at the big score, while counted by the Eastern rules would be 59 to 0, The Georgia boys took their defeat gracefully and say that next year they will defeat the “Ta* Heels” or leave the grid iron forever. They say that they will de feat Auburn or die tn the attempt. The Georgia team left for Athens at 8 o’clock and the Carolinians left for Auburn at 7:10 o’clock Sunday night. “Lady Ursula.” The new tie for women. Harry L. Jones Co.

ATTACKED SIN IN GENERAL A Characteristic Sermon by the Evangelist—He Hit Heavy Licks All ’Round Him. The prohibition tent was decidedly “wet” yesterday afternoon when Rev. Sam P. Jones had announced his address "To Men Only.” Notwithstanding the .wetness, however, the tent was filled. Fully 2,000 men of all sorts and all conditions of life gathered to hear the great Evangelist on the sub ject of temperance. The setvtciis opened with the singing of the temperance hymn composed by Rev. W. (Pinson, of the Mulberry Street Methodist church the stirring refrain of which was taken up by the whole audi ence. Mr. Jones advanced to the front of the platform under a shower of leakage from the roof and invited the dry men to some dry seats In front. The wet men he said could stay true to their principles. IHe began, by saying that Sam Jones was always to be found wfith the bottom dog except when he was away at dinner and then he would be back In a few minute®-. He was there he said to give a plain, honest and candid talk to the audience. He had nothing against individuals. He was fighting principles, but every man has his number and when you hit the number the bell rings. In all his twenty-six years of work, Mr. Jones said, that he had never taken anything back because h# never said anything that was not true. He ac knowledged that he did not use the most polished style in his speeches but said that he could not do that and make his talks appropriate to his audience, Mr. Jones took his text from the Bible words “Escape for their Life.” He said that every man had a fear of physical death and avoided those things that caused death. Equally so should every man fear moral death and avoid sin which caused that death. Sin it is, he said, that makes drunkards and prosti tutes, that brings sorrow to homes and drives women and children to despair. There are men, he said, who will say '•’lf I take a drink it is nobody’s business. I iam not fighting liquor because liquor bas never done me any harm. There were scores in his audience he said, who felt that way but they were mistaken. Home and character and country is every main’s business and home and character and country are suffering as the result of whisky drinking. Mr. Jones said he did teot live In Macon and thanked God that he did mot. The town must be cleaned un before he could live here for if there is anything ithiat the devil wants that Macon has not got it is because the people of Macon don’t know it. The only difference between Macon and hell is that Macon has some good people and a river none of which can be found In hell. What the devil wants done In Macon, Georgia, .can 'be done and has been done with the consent of Itwo-thinds of the people. Let a man run for office In Macon with the Ten 'Commandments as his platform and another run on the program of the past and present adminlstratian and the latter will win two to otic, Mr. Jones attacked the little dogs who walked about w|th their tails between their legs and would not say where they stood. He urged them to curl their tails over their backs and hold up their heads cr cut their tails off. He took up Blasphemy- as the first sin which he would attack. He jumped on the “old cussers’’ with both feet and said that the legislature of Georgia should pass a bill for separate cars for cussers so that they might go there and spend out their profanity beyond the hearing of decent people. If a man cusses it is not all he will do, said Mr. Jones. He would not say that if a man would cuss he would of necessity steal, but he might as well break one commandment as another, “Sabbath desecration" was the next subject and was handled without gtoVas, though My. said that the side daorJ to the saloons had been closed during the campaign. There were few young men who would care for their mothers to know how they had spent Sunday. Mr. Jones said that the police force of Macon is as good as it can be under the circumstances. They arrest the negroes for crap shooting, but let the white men go who should be arrested. But, said Mr. Jones, a negro who shoots craps is a snow Lank of par ty beside ihe man wia sells whisky on Sunday. Apd yet, he said, the negroes are going to vote with that gang which is for whis ky from snout to tail. Macon, he said, is a whisky soaked town and cannot 'be cleaned up because the whisky gang don’t want it. He referred to the anti-prohibition arti cles which he sai(f emanated from old sore backed politicians even down to old Boies, who wanted to be president, but couldn’t. He advised those who wanted to know the facts about Atlanta in prohi bition times to write to Sam Inman, E. P. Chamberlain or to W. A. Hemphill and paid a high tribute to those men. “Gambling” was the next sin. Mr. Jones said that the grand jury was after gamblers but that anything .the Bibb county grand jury went after was a dead duck. He said that John Candler, of the Atlanta circuit would clean up the town make the grand jurie« do their duty. But the judge of the Macon circuit could not holler “Sick 'em. boys,” he just whispered it. Mr. Jones dented that he was attack ing the Macon judges, but he did say that gambling helte and brothels had as much chance in Macon as any other business. In conclusion, being hastened by the heavy rains and the darkness, Mr. J<jne« attacked "Intemperance” as a sin. He told the story from his own life drawing a strong picA Ure of the result of intemperance that had driven the roses from hi.s .wife’s cheeks, had sent his nephey to the penitentiary and a suicide’s grave and his sister to her bed for life, an invalid. The services with a stirring hymn and hundreds of people shook hands with Mr. Jones and pledged him their support. AROUND THE WORLD Governor Adams Will Take a Trip January Next. By Associated Press.
