CONGRESSMAN HOWARD

War Department in Washington rtonday
in the Interest of Athens.
AGUINALDO’S CABINET
YOUNG HUGGINS
IS ATJ0ME AGAIN,
The Youngster Went to Visit His
Aunt in Atlanta.
FATHER FOUND HIM THERE.
Hon. W. M. Howard, the distinguish-
, ,1 congressman from this district, spent
yesterday in Athens. He came over
from his home in Lexington for the pur
pose of making a personal inspection of
the hospital bnilding at Camp Haskell.
Mr. Howard will appear before the
war department in Washington Mon-
d ,y and will put forward the’advan-
t iges of Athens as a suitable place for
t he maiutainance of a hospital site.
i he fact that the soldiers now here
have enjoyed the very best of health
a id the additional fact that the govern-
m nt has erected several snbstantial
b iddings for hospital purposes, leads to
the belief that Athens will be selected
a- a camp for a permanent hospital.
Congressman Howard will push the
claims of the Classic city in this direc
tum He will also use his influence to
ci have other regiments take the place
oi those now here, but is donbtfnl if he
cm succeed in this, as so many regi
meets will be mastered out and the rest
will lie sent to Cuba.
“If 1 can’t get well soldiers for
Athens," said Congressman Howard, to
a Haulier representative yesterday,
will try and get sick ones. There are
certain to be a number of men that will
get sick in Cuba and I will do what I
can to have them sent to the hospital
here."
Out of the four thousand soldiers that
have been in camp here this winter not
one has died of any disease. In fact
only two men have lost their lives. One
■Vis thrown from his horse and theother
was murdered by a companion.
The mortality report of Athens is as
low as that of any city in the sonth, and
a better location for a permanent hos
pital could not he found anywhere in
tie- United States.
Mr. Howard will return to Lexington
today ami will leave for Washington
tonight.

Washington, Jan. 5.—The following
the text of the instructions sent to
General Otis, in command of the United
States forces in the Philippines, to be
proclaimed to the Filipinos as expressive
of the pnrposes in respect to them :
“Adjutant General’s Office,
“Washington, Deo. 37, 1898.
“GeneralOtis, Manila:
“By direction of the secretary of war,
I have the honor to transmit herewith
instrnctions of the president relative
to the administration of affairs in the
Philippine islands:
’ “In performing his duty, the military
commander of the United States is en
joined to make known to the inhabitants
of the Philippine islands that, in suc
ceeding to the sovereignty of Spain, in
severing the former political relations of
the inhabitants and in establishing a
new political power, the authority of
the United States is to be exerted for the
security of the people of the islands and
for the confirmation of all their private
rights and relations.
“It will be the duty of the commander
of the forces of occupation to announce
and proclaim in the most public manner
that we come, not as invaders or con
querors, bnt as friends to protect the
natives in their homes, their employ
ments and in their personal and religious
rights.
“While the control of all the public
property and the revenues of the state
passes with the cession, and while the
use and management of all public means
of transportation are necessarily reserved
the authority of the United States,
private property, whether belonging to
individuals or corporations is to be re
spected except for cause duly estab
lished.
“The taxes and duties heretofore pay
able by the inhabitants to the late gov
eminent become payable to the author
ities of the United States, unless it be
seen fit to substitute for them other rea
sonable rates or modes of contribution
to the expenses of government, whether
general or local. If private property be
taken for military use, it shall be paid
for when possible in cash at fair valua
tion, and when payment in cash is not
practicable, receipts are to be given.
All ports and places in the Philippine
islands in the actnal possession of the
land and naval forces of the United
States will be opened to the commerce
of all friendly nations. All goods and
wares not prohibited for military rea
sons by dne announcement of the mil
itary authority will be admitted upon
payment of such duties and other
charges as shall be in force at the time
of their importation.
Finally, it should be the earnest and
paramount aim of the military adminis
tration to win the confidence, respect
and affection of the inhabitants of the
Philippines by assuring to them in every
possible way that full measure of indi
vidual rights and liberties which is the
heritage of free people and by proving
to them that the mission of the United
States is one of benevolent assimilation,
substituting the mild sway of justice
and right for arbitrary rule. In the ful
fillment of this high mission, supporting
the temperate administration of affairs
for the greatest good, of the governed,
there must be sedulously maintained
the strong arm of authority, to repress
disturbance and overcome all obstacles
to the bestowal of the blessings of good
and stable government upon the people
of the Philippine Islands under the fret
flag of the United States.

“H. O. CORBIN, Adj -Gen.”
All day yesterday the Banner was
telephoned for news from the bedside of
Miss Annie Barnett in Atlanta.
The hundreds of friends of that pop
ular yonng lady and of her parents were
greatly shocked on learning of her seri
ous oondition, and were anxious for the
latest news.
Several messages were received
throughout the day, bat all of them told
the ta me story, that very little hope
was entertained for her recovery. Bat
every passing hour strengthened the
chances against the grim destroyer and
if Miss Barnett lives until the rising of
the sun she will probably recover.
Last night at a late hour Capt. Eur-
uett was called to the ’phone by The
Banner and asked concerning the 6on
dition of his daughter.
He said that he thought she was t
little worse and that her pnlse was
weaker. The physicians thought she
had held her own fairly well throughout
the day and that, while still extremely
and even critically ill, she had some
chances of recovery.
Miss Burnett went over a few
days since to visit her friend,
Miss Frances Johnson, and Tuesday
afternoon was struck down with a se
vere attack of meningitis. Since that
time it has been a hard fight against
death.
The hopes and prayers of hundreds of
Athenian friends are with the gentle
young sufferer.

OVATION TO WOOD.
American Commander at Santiago off for
Washington.
Santiago de Cuba,- Jan. 5.—The ex
planation of the war department at
Washington on its intentions regarding
the tranfer of customs receipts from the
different ports in Unba to Havana is met
here by statements from the Cabans
that the plan is similar to the one
adopted by the Spaniards, when requis
itions on Havana obtained less than six
per cent of what the requisition called
for. The merchants, business men and
influential people here say Havana has
grown rich and prosperous at the ex
pense of the rest of the island and the
Cabans and government officials at
Santiago say the Cabans of Havana are
responsible for Major General Brooke’s
order on this subject. The people here
add that the Havana' Cabans are still
anxious to maintain the same system of
the centralization of funds that was
in force before the American occupa
tion.
Dr. Castillo and Mayor Bacardi have
proved true in this crisis, and have
urged the citizens to remain peaceful
while awaiting the results of the visit of
General Wood and Dr. Castillo to Wash
ington.
Wood Given an Ovation.
General Wood, accompanied by his
aide de-camp, Lieutenant Hanna, and
Dr. Castillo, representing the merchants
aud business men of this city, left here
for New. York today on board the
United States transport Mississippi.
They were accorded an enthnsiactic ova
tion on their departure from the palace
and daring their passage down Marina
street to the wharf.
AT LUCY COBB INSTITUTE.
An Historical Study of the Life of Christ Con
sisting of Twenty Four Lectures.
Mr. Chas. A. Young, who has been
teaching the Bible for a number of years
to university students at the University
of Virginia and other state universities,
will give a series of twenty-fonr Bible
lectures to the advanced pupils of Lucy
Cobb Institute.
Rev. Mr. Young has given series of
Bible lectnres to students of the Univer
sity of Georgia and to Lucy Cobb stu
dents daring the past two years and
needs no introduction to the Athens
public. While he teaches the Bible
from the standpoint of history and
literature he leaves a lasting impression
upon his pupils of the divine inspiration
of God’s special revelation to men.
The lecture studies in the Gospels,
which Rev. Mr. Youug will offer the
advanced pnpils of Lucy Cobb Institute
during the months of Jannary and
February, have been specially prepared
with a view of combining the devotional
spirit with the historical study of the
Life of onr Lord. There will be four
lectures studies each week beginning
Tuesday January the ninth at nine a.
m. Thta course of lectures will be such
a valuable discipline to all devout Bible
students we have decided, to admit
friends of the Institute to those interest
ed. Those desiring to attend ail of these
lectnres and thus obtain a complete
view of the Life of Christ may have
seats reserved for them upon application
to the Principal. M. A. Lipscomb.

Remarkable Effect of a Fractured Skull on
Charles Hemberger.
Buffalo, N. Y., Jan. 5.—Charles Mem-
berger, 27 years of age, who was found
lying by the New York Central tracks
lost Friday with his skull fractured,
is dead. On the evening of the day of
which he received his injuries, Mem-
berger began to whistle, althongh he
was wholly unconscious, and remained
so to the last. He whistled all sorts of
tones and without cessation for ninety-
five hours.
The sixtn annual Charity Ball given
by the Ladies Hebrew Benevolent Soci
ety of Athens will be given at Dupree
hall next Thursday evening.
Tickets, which are sold at $1.00 each,
are now being sold by the Hebrew
young ladies of Athens aud already
there is a big demand for them.
For the past six years these charity
balls have been eagerly looked forward
to from one year to another.
Given for sweet charity’s sake, and
patronized on this account, it is an easy
matter to dispose of an immense num
ber of tickets, and aside from the cause
for which the ball is given there are
hundreds who would cheerfully give
double the amount in order to partici
pate in the genuine pleasure derived.
The very best orchestra obtainable
will be procured. Dancing will begin
at nine o’clock and the strains of
“Home, Sweet Home” are not heard
until long after the wee, sma’ hours.
