THE LEGAL ADVERTISING.
Sheriff Mundy has withdrawn the
legal advertising which emanates
from his office from The Eagle.
He wi<l hereafter use The Cracker
as his organ.
Notice of this change was printed
last week at the head of this column
without comment as W. H. Craig,
the editor of The Eagle,was confined
at his home threatened with pneu
monia. The Cracker printed the
same notice two days later with
editorial comment.
The Atlanta Constitution in an
editorial in Sunday’s issue states that
the legal advertising of Hall county
had been changed from The Gaines
ville Eagle to The Georgia Cracker.
The editor of The Eagle is still
confined at bis home, his illness hav
ing developed into a severe attack of
pneumonia. This being the case we
only call attention to the fact that
the impression has gone out that the
legal advertising has been transferred
bodily from The Eagle to The
Cracker, when the truth is the legal
advertising of the Sheriff only, has
been transferred to The Cracker and
that the advertising emanating from
the sheriff’s office constitutes con
siderably less than one half of the
legal advertising of the county.
We will not comment on the ac
tion of the sheriff, or the character of
The Cracker’s editorial, or the
editorial statements in the Sunday
issue of The Atlanta Constitution
during the temporary absence of the
editor, but simply call attention to
them as transpiring events. But we
will say in behalf of our subscribers
that we do not believe that there is a
man whose name appears on our
subscription list who will not spurn
the offer made by the publishers of
The Cracker to the subscribers of
The Eagle regardless of why he has
taken The Eagle in the past or why
he is now taking it.
The Eagle is still the < fficial organ
of the Ordinary and will also con
tinue to contain legal advertising for
guardians, administrators, executors,
trustees, etc. etc., It will continue
to do all of the legal printing for the
Clerk of the Superior Court except
any that he is forced by law to place
in that same organ as that used by
the sheriff. Apart from this The
Eagle is the official organ of the city
of Gainesville. It is the official or
gan of White county. The Sheriff’s
advertising of this county, and it
alone, is all that has been withdrawn
from The Eagle. That is consider
ably less than half of the work of the
county. We call attention to these
facts that the truth may be known
and leave them as we find them, to
be commented on by the editor, if he
desires to do so, after he shall have
recovered from his prasent illness.
PEACE TREATY RATIFIED.
Following the startling news that
the Filipinos had attacked the Amer
ican troops at Manila, and that a
bloody battle had been fought, came
the comforting news of the ratifica
tion by the United States Senate of
the treaty of peace with Spain by a
vote of 50 to 27, or 61 to 29, count
ing pairs. This was done on Mon
day after the news of the battle at
Manila had reached the ears of the
Senators, four of whom, it is said,
changed their positions after reading
the dispatches and voted for the rat
ification of the treaty after having
pledged their word to vote against
the treaty, unless there went with it
a current declaration that the United
States did not intend to retain the
Philippines longer than such a time
as would be required for the estab
lishment of a stable government by
their own people. This change hav
ing taken place the treaty was ratified
by a majority of three votes.
It would have been a burning
shame for the treaty not to have been
parsed ; for had it not, then we might
have been placed in the disgraceful
attitude of appointing other commis
sioners, or sending the same ones, to
go again into a foreign country to
diaw another treaty after begging
Spain to again treat with us and
after forcing her to comply with all
of the demands of this government
over her bitter protest while the
treaty, which has just passed, was
being drawn.
But it passed and we can now look
other nations in the face like a coun
try able to conduct its international
affairs and maintain its dignity and
the self-respect of its citizenry.
The vote as regards to party lines
was as follows:
For ratification —57. 40 Republi
cans, 10 Democrats, 3 Populists, 3
Silverit.es, 1 Independent.
Against ratification—27. 22 Dem
ocrats, 3 Republicans, 2 Populists.
Senator Clay voted for ratification
while Senator Bacon voted against it.
Think as we may as to what should
ultimately be done with the Philip
pine Islands, the ratification of the
treaty brings peace and takes from
the country a crushing weight of un
certainty.
INSURGENTS ATTACK MANILA
Filipinos and Americans Fight Their
First Bloody Battle Saturday Night.
Manila, Feb. 6.—Admiral Dewey
has cabled the navy department to
day as follows:
“Manila, Feb. 6.—Secretary of the
Navy, Washington: Insurgentshave
attacked Manila. The Boston leaves
today for lobo to relieve the Balti
more, which will return to Manila.
Two men wounded yesterday on
board Monadoock, one seriously.
(Signed.) Dewey.”
Owing to the area embraced in the
scene of Sunday’s engagement, a
semicircle of fully seventeen miles,
details regarding the fighting have
been extremely difficult to obtain.
According to the best information
the immediate cause of the attack on
the Americans by the Filipinos was
an advance by two Filipinos to the
Nebraska outpost on the northwest
of the city. When ordered to halt
they refused, and the sentry fired,
from blockhouse 7 and an attack was
immediately begun on the Nebraska
regiment.
The fighting soon spread on both
sides until firing was in progress on
all the outposts around the city.
The American troops responded
vigorously, the insurgent fire being
heavy and the attack evidently hur
riedly planned. This was Saturday
night.
Firing continued throughout Sat
urday night with an occasional ces
sation of from half an hour to an
hour at a time.
At daybreak Sunday the warships
Charleston and Callao began shelling
the north side of the city. Their fire
was followed later by that of the
Monadnock on the southern side,
the insurgent positions having been
previously accurately located. Two
Americans were wounded on the
Monadnock.
The Filipino loss is reported to
have been heavy, amounting to sev
eral hundred.
The wounded on the American
side are now estimated at 200. Fifty
four Americans were either killed
during the engagements lasting until
Sunday night, or have died from
wounds.
The Americans began a vigorous
advance along the line Sunday morn
ing and were soon pressing back the
insurgents in every direction, main
taining steadily their advanced posi
tions and capturing the villages of
San Juan del Monte, Santa Ana, San
Pedro, Macati, San Mesa and Lom
in.
The splendid police system pre
vented a general outbreak in the
city, though several soldiers were
attacked by natives in the streets.
Lieutenant Charles Hogan end Ser
geant Wall were shot by three na
tives, the former being seriously
wounded and the later slightly.
Lieutenant Colonel Colton was at
tacked by a native with a sword
while riding in a carriage to the front.
He killed his assailant with his re
volver. A sharpshooter within the
American lines shot and killed a ser
geant while he was sitting at a win
dow of the second reserve hospital.
Colonel William Smith died of apo
plexy.
Many of the insurgents were driv
en into the Pasig river and drowned.
Several hundred were taken pris
oners.
The American forces could scarce
ly have been better disposed. It is
now known that the attack was fully
expected and that every preparation
had been made to meet the contin
gency.
Firing slackened at noon Sunday,
the enemy being apparently demor
alized.
Firing was continued at intervals
thereafter, however, and as was ex
pected the combined forces attacked
the city of Manila again this morn
ing.
Gen. Olis makes report:
Washington, Feb. 7.—The war
department today received the
following dispatch from Gen. Otis:
“Manila, Feb. 7. Adjutant Gen
eral, Washington—The insurgent
army is concentrated around Manila
from the Luzon provinces, num
bering over 20,000, possessing
several quick firing and Krupp field
guns. A good portion of the enemy
is armed with Mausers of the latest
pattern. Two Krupp guns and a
great many rifles were captured.
The insurgents fired a great quan
tity of ammunition. Quite a number
of Spanish soldiers are in the insur
gent service who served the artillery.
The insurgents constructed strong
entrenchment near our lines, mostly
bamboo thickets. These our men
charged killing or capturing many of
the enemy. Our casualties will prob
ably aggregate 250. Full reports
will be sent today. Causualties of
insurgents very heavy. Have buried
some five hundred of their dead and
hold 500 prisoners. Their loss in
killed and wounded and prisoners is
probably 4,000. We took the water
works pumping station yesterday,
six miles ont, after a considerable
skirmish with the enemy, which
made no stand. The pumps were
damaged but will be working within
a week. Have had a number of con
densers set up in the city which
furnish good water. The troops are
in excellent spirits. Quiet prevails
“(Signed.) Otis.”
The latest cablegram from Gen.
Otis states that all is now quiet at
Manila.
It is as follows:
“Manila, Feb. 6.—Situation rap
idly improving.
“On the 4th Aguinaldo issued fly
ing proclamations, charging Amer
icans with initiative, and declared
war; Sunday issued another calling
all to resist foreign invasion; his in
fluence throughout this section de
stroyed; now applies for a cessation
of hostilities and conference; have de
clined to answer. Insurgents expec
tations of rising in city on night of
fourth unrealized. Provost marshal
general, with admirable disposition of
troops, defeated every attempt. City
quiet, business resumed, natives res
pectful and cheerful; fighting qual
ities of American troops a revelation
to all inhabitants.

I am La Grippe!
Zip!
And hip
Hooray!
Say!
The way
I can lay
The populace low
Is no joke, eh?
Have you met
Me yet?
Well, don’t get
Too
Gigantically gladsome, for you
Can’t tell how soon you may
Get a frappe
Jolt in your nerve center—
That will be
Me!
When you feel
Your head spinning like a wheel,
And you reel,
And almost keel
Over, and see
Wee
Shooting stars all the while—
That’s me.
When you get
An idea
That you’d like to let
A trolley car
Hit you a jubilant jar,
Make up your mind I’m not far
Away,
And say!
My microbes
Are gay
Boys.
That noise
In your head is caused by
My
Germ choirs singing, “There’ll be a
Hot Time in the Etcetera”—
That’s what!
Sometimes I land on the nose,
And my victim goes
Around conversing through
A new
Dialect that sounds like a saw
Giving the “haw-haw”
To a pine plank,
Sometimes I yank
My victims around with a pain
In the brain
That resembles the business end
Os a railroad collision, and I send
Them scurrying to
The quinine bucket. Oh, you
Can’t tell what I’m going to do
Till I get through.
Every day 1 invent a new
Torture or two.
I am La Grippe—
Zip!
Don’t forget the “La” nor final “e.”
For, you see,
I am a foreigner by occupation,
The Russian nation having turned
Me loose some years ago
But I do not love America so!
Especially now, that I know
It’s inhabitants so*well,
I think I shall stay here a spell—
I’m the greatest stayer ever seen—
Not e’en Phenacetine.
Nor queeneen,
Nor kerosene,
Nor benzine,
Nor parisgreen
Can scare me away
When I lay
Off my goloshes and start
In to part
My victims from their health.
Wealth
Cuts no congealed particles
With me,
And I’m free
To say that I am no
Respecter of persons—so
If you haven’t met
Me yet
Don’t get
Too jocosely jubilant, for you
Can’t tell when I may
Drop in on you to say
“Howdy!” and make you think
A skating rink
Has slapped you on the chest—
And that’s no jaded jest.
G’bye!
I
Haven’t any doubt
I’ll get you if you don’t watch out.

GOMEZ ACCEPTS TERMS.
He Demanded $57,000,000.—He Ac
cepted $3,000,000.
It looked for a time as if Maximo
Gomez, the Cuban Commanding Gen
eral, was going to give Uncle Sam a
little trouble as has Aguinaldo, the
chief of the insurgents of the Philip
pine Islands, who caused the spilling
of so much blood at Manila Saturday
night and Sunday.
Up to Ist of February Gomez de
manded nearly $60,000,000 from the
United States and refused to disband
his “army” until the money was paid.
He repudiated the arrangement
made by Galixto Garcia, who came
to Washington with authority from
Gomez to provide for the return of
the Cubans to their peaceful pursuits,
and whose work was barely accom
plished before his sudden death on
December 11th. It was then agreed
that the United States, in order- to
secure the prompt resumption of
labor on the plantations of the islands,
with a view to promoting the speedy
revival of prosperity and settled con
ditions, should distribute about $3,-
000,000 among the 30,000 men said
to be still under arms; in the ratio of
SIOO a man, the officers in propotion
to their rank to receive a greater
amount, the ordinary enlisted men to
be discharged with sums less than
SIOO, depending on the length of
service and other considerations.
Gomez alleged that his army con
sisted of 40,000 men, and he insisted
that most of them should be paid for
three years’ service at the rates which
prevail in the United States army.
He fixed the date of the Cuban decla
ration of independence February 24,
1895, as the beginning of the period
for whieh himself and his forces were
to be remunerated and for himself,
with the rank of Lieutenant General,
he would be satisfied with SII,OOO
annually, the American rate for that
grade.
Gomez also had about twenty ma
jor-generals, for each of whom he
wanted $7,500 annually, and his
“army” was equipped with nearly 200
brigadier generals, each rated accord
ing to the United States army pay
table at $5,500 annually. His ag
gregate amounted to the little sum of
$3,783,000 for generals alone; then,
there were colonels, lieutenant colo
nels and majors whose numbers run
into the thousands. The privates
did not amount to much, for they
were comparatively few, but each of
them had required $648, and the
army pay masters who figured out
the total reported that over $57,000,-
000 would be required to gratify all
the demands Gomez had made, which
was an average of $1,425 a man; *
It now looks as if the war clouds
have passed from over Cuba, 'as
Gomez has entered into an agreement
with the United States which
strongly indicates peaceful sailing
for the present, so far as Gomez is
concerned. The following dispatch
tells what took place on Feb. Ist:
Remedies, Province of Santa Clara,
Feb. Ist, via Havana Feb. 2.—Gen.
Maximo Gomez, the commander-in
chief of the Cuban army, placed him
self squarely in position to-day as an
active ally of the United States gov
ernment in the work of the recon
struction of Cuba.
As a result of the conference which
Robert E. Porter, the special com
missioner of President McKinley, has
had with General Gomez, the latter
cabled to President McKinley this
afternoon assuring him of his co
operation in disbanding the Cuban
army and in distributing among the
Cuban soldiers the $3,000,000 appro
priated for the purpose of enabling
them to return to their homes.
General Gomez also telegraphed to
Major General Brooke saying he
would accept the latter’s invitation
to go to Havana.
The success of Mr. Porter’s mis
sion greatly simplifies the returning
of the military Cubans to the pur
suits of peace.
In view of General Gomeze’s sup
posed prior attitude of hostility to
ward the United States, Mr. Porter
came here clothed with absolute au
thority and the tender of the $3,-
000,000 was practically a verbal ulti
matum. Had it not been accepted,
no more ultimatums would have
been made.
Mr. Porter made plain the pur
pose of the government and was
gratified at the ready sesponse of
General Gomez. The conference
took place at the bouse here occupied
by the Cuban general as his bead
quarters since coming to town.
In brief, the compact is as follows:
1. The Cuban officers in each prov
ince shall assist the American officers
in distributing the funds.
2. That these officers shall at once
meet at some convenient point and
devise how, when and where the pay-'
ments are to be made, and arrange
any other details.
3. That the sum paid to each man
shall not be regarded as part pay
ment of salary or wages due for ser
vice rendered, but to facilitate the
disbandment of the army, as a relief
of suffering and as an aid in getting
the people to work.
4. The Cubans shad surrender
their arms to the Cuban Assembly or
to it representatives.
5. The committee on distribution
shall use its best endeavours to dis
tribute it among the population so
that all may secure work.
6. That the $3000,000 shall be
placed subject to the order of Gen
eral Brooke and that action in the
matter shall be immediate.
Also the following which indicates
that we are now truly at peace with
Cuba:
Remedies Province of Santa Clara,
February 2—via Camajuay, Febru
ary 2—lmmediately after yesterday’s
conference General Gomez wrote the
following letter to President McKin
ley, in Spanish:
“Republic of Cuba, Headquarters
of the Army Remedies, February 1,
1899. President McKinley. Wash
ington: It has been a great pleasure
to me to confer with your commis
sioner, Mr. Porter, introduced by my
friend Quesada, and I am now aware
of and pleased with your wishes. In
a short time I shall go to Havana and
confer with General Brooke, so that
everything will go well. Following
your advice, I willingly co-operate in
the work of reconstructing Cuba.
Maximo Gomez.

Justice Court House.
Flowery Brunch district is without
a court house and has no place to
hold its court or elections. Several
years ago the Journal called atten
tion to this fact, and agitated a plan
to erect a court house and a council
hall to be built and owned by the
county commissioners and the town
council jointly. This can be done
and the new council will be re
quested to make an effort to carry it
into effect. The county appropriates
SSO for district court houses, and our
town council can easily arrange to
raise SSO and erect a neat, comfort
able and substantial building, thereby
saving a rent bill of $25 annually. It
would be economy if the council had
to borrow the money, as two years’
rent would amount to that sum, and
after the cost is paid the rent ex
pense would cease. It would in
reality be a paying investment. It
can be accomplished without extra
taxation. It is a necessity and we
believe every fair minded man in the
town and district will favor it. Let’s
build it.—Flowery Branch Journal.
Deafness Cannot be Cured
By local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of the
eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for

, LaGrippe is a contagious disease. Its
j specific germ has been positively identi
fied. and it is transmitted from person to
person either by direct contact or by in-
1 haling the germs while they float in the
air. It is a dangerous disease, lowering
the vitality and wasting the resistive
power so that pneumonia, heart disease,
nervous prostration and insanity find
easy victims. No specific is known that
‘ will kill the Grip germ, but it may be
• driven out and its effects overcome by
the prompt use of Dr. Miles’ Restorative
Nervine.
“LaGrippe left my nervous system so
racked and shattered that I could not
sleep and for two months was under the
* influence of narcotics. Physicians and
■ friends gave me up to die; but in two
i days after I commenced taking Dr. Miles’
Restorative Nervine I began to improve,
and in a month’s time I was entirely
cured. It is the greatest health restorer
1 on earth.”
