The Hainesville Eaijle. Entered at the Gainesville Postoffice as Second-class mail matter. Official Organ of Hall County. Official Organ of White County. Official Organ of the City of Gainesville. W. H. CRAIG, Editor and Business Manager. Thursday, February 9, 1899. 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 Sheriff Mundy has withdrawn the legal advertising which emanates from his office from The Eagle.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. (Signed) “Otis.” Names of Congressmen.

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. “General.” 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 circulars: free. F. J.
