QUARANTINE CONTENTION
TROOPS WILL BEGIN TO GO FOB*
WARD WITHIN TEN DATS.
SCHEDULED TO DO GARRISON DUTY.
Volunteer Hpftm.nt. In ■aatlere to Bo
Batter Disciplined—Addlttoeel
Orders Issued.
A Washington special of Thursday
says: The movement of the United
States troops to Havana will begin
within ten days. The exact date of
their arrival will be determined by the
reports of Major General Greene, who
commands a division of the Seventh
corps, and is now in Havana, on bnsl-
ness oonneeted with garrisoning that
provinoe, and of General Charles F.
Humphrey and Colonel Heeker, of the
quartermaster’s department These
officers have authority to complete the
arrangements for the reception of the
troops, the quartermaster’s officers be*
ing engaged in the supervision of the
construction of wharves and depots to
be used by the army.
The occupation of Cienfuegos is also
receiving attention. General Snyder
will command the first brigade whioh
lands in that provinoe.
He will be followed soon afterwards
by Major General Wilson, and the
First corps. Nothing has been heard
of the detachments of the Eigbth cav
alry, whioh sailed for Neuvitas and
Puerto Principe, but as there is no
telegraph communication with that
part of the island, no surprise is mani
fested at the War department.
The conduct of the' volunteer regi
ments in Santiago province may result
in a transfer of some of these troops
to corps where a more rigid discipline
can be enforced and yhere regiments
under oommand of general officers can
be used. to quell any disturbances of
the immune regiments.
Addltloaal Order*.
A dispatch from Camp Poland,
Knoxville, Tenn., states that addi
tional orders, relative to the equip
ment of troops there for the movement
to Cuba, were received Tuesday.

dered to make requisitions for a com
plete medical equipment sufficient to
supply the demands of the division

First division, First corps, was or
dered to proceed at once to Mncon,
Ga., and there Establish his brigade

is already in Macon. The Sixth Vir
ginia, colored, also of his command,
will leave at once.
General Simon Snyder is preparing
to surrender the command of the divis

NEWSPAPER MEN ADJOURN.
Southern Paper*, •• a Rule, Are Enjoying
Great Fro*perlty.
The Southern Publishers’ Associa
tion closed its meetings at Memphis,
Tenn.,Thursday night. Those present
were:
G. W. OdhB, Chattanooga Times,
president; F. P. Glass, Montgomery
Advertiser, secretary; J. 0. Hemphill,
Charleston News and Courier; A. T.
Sanford, Knoxville Journal and Trib
une; W. J. Ewing, Nashville American;

Smithe, Little Book Gazette; Clark
Howell, Atlanta Constitution; L. J.
Brooks, Jackson Whig; A. B. Holder-
by, Bichmond Times, aud J. W. Lam
bert, Natchez Democrat.
The question of the alleged paper
combine was discnBsed, as was also
the latest improved mechanical devices
for publishing newspapers. Views
were interchanged as to the present
advertising rates in the sonth and the
best methods of increasing circula
tion. The discussion developed that
southern newspapers, without excep
tion, are in a more prosperous condi-*
tion than they have been for several
years aud the outlook is exceedingly
promising.
The session closed Thursday night
with a complimentary banquet given
by the Commercial-Appeal.
TOLBERT WILL KEEP AWAY.
Receive. Governor Ellerb.’l Answer and
Will Take No Bisks.
A Washington dispatch says: John
W. Tolbert has received Governor El-
lerbe's answer to his telegram asking
whether the governor would afford
him protection from mob violence in
returning to his home at McCormick,
8. C.
The governor’s reply is regarded by
Tolbert as a practical admission that
the governor cannot afford him pro
tection, and therefore, it is said, it is
not likely he will jeopardize his life
by returning to his home in the pres
ent state of excited feeling.
Assembles In M.mphls, Tana.,With Many
D.laaatas On Hand.
The national quarantine convention
assembled at Memphis, Tenn., Thurs
day morning with 136 delegates pres
ent and more arriving with eaoh in
coming train. A majority of the del
egates were from the southern states
most affected by the visitation of
yellow fever, as they were asked to
send a larger representation than the
other sections. There were delegate*
from the north, west and east, how
ever. Eminent medical men and
scientists, oollege professors, presi
dents and high officials of railroads,
state officials, lawyers and substantial
business men composed the conven
tion.
In this respect the meeting is prob
ably the most important ever held for
the consideration of the quarantine
problem. The subject with whioh the
convention is to deal is one of many
perplexities. The question of an ef
ficient quarantine to protect the states
from invasions of infectious ’and con
tagious diseases has oocupied the at
tention of legislators and scientific
men, and it oomes up as frequently as
a pestilential disease appears or reap
pears in this country. It is for the
purpose of arriving at some solution
of this problem that the Memphis con
vention was called.
Promptly at 10:30 o’clock Chairman
J. 8. Menken, of the looal committee,
called the convention to order. Mr.
Menken spoke briefly, and, among
other things, said:
“This convention is made up of rep
resentatives from the north, east, west
and south—all having one objeot in
view, the initiation of a broad ba
sis of an effective national quarantine
controlled by the’government of the
United States. To formulate a plan
of notion, feasible, comprehensive and
effectual, whioh can be quiokly crys
tallized into law, is the work to be ac
complished. While quarantine is the
best known means of prevention at
present and the one whioh possesses
more completely the confidence of the
people, we all hope that science will
soon disolose the true cause and dis
cover a general remedy for this un
welcome exotio, rob it of its terrors
and inspire the public with confidence
and faith. Until that time arrives,
however, our hope and. trust must be
in an effectual national quarantine.”
Mayor J. J. Williams delivered an
address of welcomo aud the conven
tion proceeded to its organization.
At the suggestion of the local com
mittee, temporary organization was
dispensed with and Goneral Luke E.
Wright, of Tennessee, was unanimous
ly named as permanent president of
the convention and Dr. B. A. Bush,of
Senatobia, Miss., was elected secre
tary. 'General Wright addressed the
delegates.
At. the afternoon session the com
mittee on credentials and basis of rep
resentation submitted a verbial report
through its chairman, Dr. W. H.
Bailey, reeommending the adoption of
the suggestion of tho local organiza
tion committee in respect to a basis of
representation, providing that eaoh
state be given twenty votes, regard
less of the size of its delegation, and
further recommending that the chair
man cf each state delegation be asked
to furnish the credentials committee
with a list of delegates from his state.
ThiB report was adopted.
The following telegram from the
president of the United States was
next read and received with enthusias
tic applause:
■'Executjvb Mansion, Washington,
D. C., November 10, 1898.—Mr. J. 8.
Menken, Chairman Momphis Nation
al Quarantine Convention, Memphis,
Tenn.:
“The president has received your
communication inclosing a copy of the
resolutions recently adopted by the
Memphis merchants' exchange, in ac
cordance with which a convention has
been called, to meet in your city on
the 17th instant.
“It affoids me pleasure to nssnre
you of the president’s deep interest in
this and other movements looking to
the prevention of the unhealthfnl and
distressing condition referred to, and
to convey his best wishes for a most
successful result of tho deliberations
of tho convention.
“J. A. PORTEII,
“Secretary to the President.”
On motion of Mayor Collier, of At
lanta, the entire rule of order as sug
gested by the local organization com
mittee was adopted.

IRREVOCABLE DEMANDS WILL BR
AGAIN PRESENTED.
CASH CONSIDERATION. $40,000,000.
Ultimatum win Dsslraete a Time Within
Which American Demands Are
to Be Accepted.
A Washington special aaya: It waa
not until a late hour Friday evening
thet the laat paragraphs of the long
translntion of the Spanish note whieh
was presented to the American peaoe
commissioner* laat Wednesday were
deciphered at the state department,
and most of the members of the cabi
net were not aware of the fnll contents
of the doenment until Saturday, when
they called at the white houae. It
appeared that in addition to the long
argument, whioh was intended to
show that the word “disposition”
used in relation to the Philippines
meart something else, the Spanish
note did inolude a proposition to sub
mit the Philippine clause of the proto
col to the interpretation of an arbi
trator.
Another cablegram followed the first
long message, this time direotly from
Judge Day, seeking instructions defi
nitely on some points to be mede in
the Afnerican answer which is yet to
be presented. These instructions have
been sent forward, and it may be
stated witbont going into details that
they are precisely in line with the
polioy which the American commis
sioners have been pnrsuing np to this
point in the negotiations.
There are several matters of real im
portance, though not ranking with
the Philippine question, to be treated
by the commissioners, but the instruc
tions to the Americans afe not to call
np that at present, or until the main
pending issue relative to ibe Philip
pines has been settled, in order to
avoid complicating the proceedings.
In the event that the ootnmissioners
disagree totally at their next meeting
regarding the Philippines, there will
be no discussion of any of these sub
sidiary question, but in the other
event, namely, that an agreement shall
be reached on the principal of the
Philippines disposition, these matters
may be expected to consume at least
one pf the two additional sessions of
the commission.
NOT SAFE FOB TOLBERTS.
Marshal Melton Say* It Would Be Un
wise For Them to Return Home.
A Washington dispatch says: United
States Marshal Melton, of South Car
olina, had a conference with Postmas
ter General Emory Smith Saturday
regarding some poBtofflce appoint
ments.
The race troubles in that state were
not discussed. Mr. Melton stated
positively his personal belief that the
Tolberts would not be safe if they re
turned to their state.
“I have no hesitation,” he said, “in
saying that it would be very unwise
for them to retnrn nntil after the ex
citement baa subsided.”
Other Mutter* of Interest#
One of these subjects conoerns the
restoration of trade relations between
the United States and Spain. At the
beginning of the war Spain termi
nated all of her treaties with the
United States, and if the two coun
tries are to get along amicably even
after the declaration of peace there
must be working arrangements in
treaty form for the protection of trade
interests, the equalization of tariff
charges, the regulation of extradition
und such subjects as are usnally in
cluded in treaties of trade and com
merce and amity.
bo tor the commissioners have given
no consideration to these matters in
their exchanges, but some at least of
tbem must be regulated in any treaty
that issues from tho commission. It
is believed the peace negotations are
nearing an end, and it is considered
not improbable that by the end of the
present mouth all of themaiu features
of a treaty will have been formally
agreed to, or the effort to reaoh an
amicable settlement abandoned.
Aii Ultimatum.
With a view to bring matters to a
speedy conclusion, our commission
ers, by direction of the president, will
lay before the Spaniards the final and
irrevocable demands of this country,
allowing a specified time in which onr
conditions may be accepted.
This ultimatum, it is understood,
involves all that has thus far been
contended for, including the surren
der to the United States of the entire
Philippine group, and also names the
amount of cash which this govern
ment will pay Spain in consideration
of her expenditures on account of
Pacific improvements of betterments
in the island of Luzon.
The amonnt of this cash payment is
not known, bat there is a basis for the
belief that it is approximately $40,-
000,000.

Whisky is superior. Few whiskies are ever submitted to
