Havana Situation as Evacu
ation Dav Aporoaches.
LEE ANO LUDLOW AT 000$
Gomez Will Not Come Unless He
Can Be Received By his Ar
my in States.
By Associated Press.
New York, Dec. 30. —A dispatch to the
Tribune from 'Havana says: "The situa
tion here is not critical but it is delicate.
The Cuban leaders are hoping the Wash
ington authorities will -permit a parade of
their forces on Monday, which would not
complicate the transfer of -Span'ish sover
eignty on Sunday -and would not commit
the United States to an official recognition
of the insurgent army. Neither General
Brooke nor General Ludlow has been will
ing to take this responsibility. Gomez
will not come unless he can be received by
his army. 'I he insurgent commanders
promise to take full responsibility for re
pressing disorder and ma'iMaindng diaci
f>! lie. If they should fail to do so it would
end their influences. If the reception to
<Jomez is not permitted, the Cuban com
mittees say that the proposed celebration
will hr abandoned and that -both the J
American and Cuiban flags, which have,'
been flying from the houses of Cubans, !
will be taken down -and no demonstration j
be held. They declare that while the peo- '
pie will be intensely disappointed, no i
trouble will occur. Their ability to keep '
whi- -promise has not yet been shown.
Some of the radical insurgent com man- '
*lens of a miner grade, insist that they -will '
enter Havana with their forces -and cele- '
brate. but con-servatiive counsels have up ,
t:o thi.s time prevailed.
I he force of two hundred insurgents do- -
in.g police duty at Vtdado, under Colonel
I i»-i nandt-z, has been withdrawn -because i
the United States military authorities]
could not -recogn'lze them except as indi
viduals. a misunderstanding between ,
G( nerals Lee and Ludlow regarding -Amer- ;
lean troops made the entrance of the in- 1
surgenta to do police duty necess-ary.
1 lie newspapers counsel -moderation, -but ,
mg- that the insurgent troops be permiit- ;

celebration.

RAILROAD MUDDLE.
No Court Capable of Straightening Out
Wisconsin Central Affairs.
By Associated Press.
Milwaukee, 'Dec. 30. —According to the
n ports that come from New York to par- !
ties in Milwaukee interested in the Wis
consin Central system, the question of ,
-Uiether or not there will be a reorganiz- !
tit ion of the present system will be defi- ;
niiely settled on or before February 14. >
If no agreement has been reached by the j
different factions On that day certain of ■
The parties will withdraw and everything
will be left to the courts to decide. While
several - conferences of committees were
die-Id in New York lately it is said abso- ]
hit. ly nothing was accomplished.
One of the parties interested in the out- !
oome states that in his opinion it will
never be possible to arrive at a satisfac
tory conclusion without concessions being
made all around. The case Is exceedingly
intrinsically involved -and there is, it is
c»!iid, i o court in the land that can
straighten the tangle.

Come Home.
By Associated Press.
St. Louis. Dec 30.—A special from Se
dalia says:
The Evening Sentinel prints a story
about J. C. Thompson, the fugitive cash
ier of the defunct First National bank of
Sedalia, who is now a resident of the City

Thompson deputized him to call on his
friends here and announce that he intend
ed to return to Sedalia in a short time,
straighten out accounts and pay the de
positors of the wrecked bank dollar for
dollar the amount due them.
Mr. Lyons says Thompson is prospering
afid has extensive interests In nailroads,
mining - stocks, banking and a bonanza
gold mine, which pormises in a short time
to not only enable him to retrieve his lost
fortune but also to make h’m a million
aire.. Attorney Lyons says that Thomp
son v- ill resign on January 1 as the in
spector for the Mexican Central railway
to accept the position of cashier in the
Mexican and London bank of the City of
Mexico. Thompson, Mr. Lyons says, is
anxious to right the wrongs he has com
mitted, receive forgiveness and eventually
become once more a citizen of Sedalia.

WHAT ALMAND OWED
‘ Scheme Said to Have Been Worked by the
Guano Dealer.
Covington, Ga., Dec. 30.—1 t develops
, that the shortage of S. L. Almand, who left
here between suns a fe* days gao, and
v.-.is discovered in California, will reach
many thousand dollars, variously estimat
ed between ?15,00b and $40,000, certainly
not kss than $15,000.
• It is said that his heaviest creditors are
i the Marietta Guano Company, of Aihania,
I Baldwin eFrtilizer Company, Port Royal,
S. the Southern Pacific Guano Compa
ny, of Atlanta, and the Gate City Oil Com
pany. of Atlanta.
He was manager here for the Gate City j
Ginnery. He dealt heavily in cotton and I
cotton seed. He is said to owe farmers :
all over this and adjoining counties foi
cotton seed.
H s plan, it seems, was to give each man
a due bill on the Gate City Oil Company’s
blanks, telling them that the company
would deposit the money in the bank here
in a short while and redeem the due bills.
! 'He is -said to have caught the farmers
for S4OO for seed, and he owed one livery
firm $375 for buggy hire, which he used in
the spring selling guano.
, IMr. Thomas Sword was a victim to the
extent of a aarload of cotton seed, which
Almand bought h day or two before he
left. He bought them for the Gate City
Oil Company, of Atlanta, -but he is said
to have shipped them to the mill at Con
yers. Sword became uneasy and sent a
man to Conyers to see Almand. Almand
i gave him a check -for $75 and prem'ised to
I bring the balance to Covington the next
| day.
Sword deposited the check in Atlanta
! and it was turned down, as there were no
I funds on hand. By that time Almand was
i gone and Sword loses the whole amount.
' Almand lived in Conyers.

TO RATIFY THE TREATY !
Congressman Maddox Thinks There is No
Doubt About It.
j Rome, iGa., Dec. 30. —Congressman Mad
dax says the present session of congress
will-ratify the -treaty of peace with Spain.
"The question of expansion will not bs
dealt with much by this -session of con
gress,” said Congressman Maddox, in re
ply to a question. "Os course there will
I be occasional speeches against expansion,
] but the real -fight will not come up before
I next fall. ‘
j "It is clearly the duty of congress to
I ratify the treaty. ‘We sent the peace com
‘ missioners to 'Paris in good faith as our
agents, and not to endorse the-ir action
. would affect our national honor abroad.”
This is the stand -which is taken by the
; leading Democrats of the party. Judge
i Maddox ate breakfast this morning before
1 he left with Hon. W. J. Bryan and that
leader thinks the treaty should be rati
fied.
i Congressman Maddox will return to ]
Washington next Monday, accompanied |
by Mrs. Maddox and Miss Bettie Maddox.

The Woolen Industry In Japan.
The wool weavinir industry in Japan
is still in it- i’jfaucy - . There are only a
few woolen mills in the country, and of
these the Oji wool factory at Oji is prob
ably the most important. This establish
ment works for six months in every year .
on material for policemen and jailers in
all parts of the country and for naval and
other government officers, while during
the remainder of the year work is dono on
blankets and other articles for domestic
usu This factory paid a dividend at the
rato of 10 per cent per annum for the
latter part of 1897 and at the rate of 10
per cent per annum for the first half of
1898.
The raw material for this mill, which
includes the wool from about 3,000,000
- sheep, is praerlceUy all imported from In
j dia, Germany, France. England and Aus
tralia Sheep raising has been attempted
at Aomori, in Japan, and the wool from
an experimental flock of about 300 sheep
is consum'd Ly the Oji factory. Although
Mil J fx; erimt nt in sbeep raising has been >
fairly sucecssrui, the country is so poorly
adapted to the industry that it is not like
ly to bei-cmo very ijri»ortant.— Manufac

Eyes and Glared Paper,
A physician in Germany lias made a
study of tho eiFei t of glazed papers on the
eyesight as compared with the paper
mostly used in the earlier part of the cen
tury—of dull gray or blue color usually
and coarse grained, so that thick letters
had to be used by writers with quill pens
or by printers on their slew presses
With the introduction, however, of oth
er fibers in place of rags paper received a
smoother surface, steel pens could be em
ployed and the printing paper could trav
el ever quicker printing presses The in
trcduction of brilliant colors has involved
a brightness cf reflection contrasting great
ly with the mild anil soothing impression
of former days—in fact, tho highly glazed
surface now in vogue and the variety of j
lights and shades presented are most try
ing to the eye.
The suggestion is made, therefore, the!
public inspectors of schools should order
the use of sanitary paper for the ayes—
that is, such as has no glazed or highly
polished surface, the colors to be prefera
ble gray or light t ine, but no white, and
in no case any brilliant-or shiny colors.— ,
