BE RULE
FEU CUBA
fjew Government Will Soon Take
Charge of Affairs-
ELECTORS MEET FEBRUARY 24
American Military Force Will Not
Be Reduced for Some Time,
Withdrawal to be Gradual.
Washington, January s.—The
Cuban government will be set up
about March 1. The president and
senators will be elected on Febru
ary 24 by che electors chosen at
the election last Tuesday, when
members of the house of repre
sentatives were elected. After the
electors have disposed of their
Lork Gov. Wood will issue a pro
clamation announcing the choice
lor president and convening con
gress. The Cuban government
Tvill then take charge under the
supervision of the United States,
the control to be broadened grad
ually as fast as conditions will per
mit Congress will assemble the
first Monday in April and by that
time it is expected a treaty will
have been drawn up between the
Cuban republic and the United
States and be ready for submission.
The eight stipulations that were
upon m me Pb’t amend
ment as conditions under which
the United States would withdraw
and which were Grafted into the
■ constitution mat was adopied last
Tuesday were that Cuba would
never enter into a treaty with a
foieign country which would im
pair her independence; that no
debt should be contracted or as
sumed which the revenues of the
island would be inadequate to dis
charge ; that the acts of the mili
tary temporary government should
be ratified ; that existing sanitary
1 plans should be carried out as faf
as possible ; that the title to the Isle
of Pines should be determined by
a future treaty; that the govern
ment of Cuba should sell or lease
•to the United States lands neces
jsary for coaling or naval stations ;
that by way of further assurance
Cuba would embody the foregoing
[provisions in a permanent treaty
with the United States.
ARMY WILL STAY IN CUBA.
Washington, January 5. —There
. will be no withdrawal of Ameri
can troops from Cuba after the cer
emony of transferring the Island to
the new republican government
has been performed. The only
actual difference in the present
condition, so far as the military
is concerned, be will the
of the present scat
tered barracks and the concentra
tion of the troops in naval and coal
ing s.t.ons which are to be lo
' cated by the treaty agreement be
fore the new Cuban congress con
venes.
The effect of this action will be
to maintain in Cuba for an indefi
nite period a considerable army of
American soldiers under the com
mand of a general officer. The
supposed purpose of the army will
be to protect American rights in
tbe reservations which are set aside
as coaling and naval stations. The
actual purpose as' construed by
members of congress who have
Riven close attention to Cuban af
fairs is to preserve as an effectual
oueck upon ambitons and revolu
tionary leaders who mav strive in
tbe future to destroy the existing
form of government.
It will also serve, in the event of
jtuy considerable number of Cu
bans expressing a desire for aunex
tmn to enable them to fulfill that
esire expeditiously and without
} bloodshed. Asa matter of fac t
his is the real purpose of main
taming a large military force in
toe inland. The leaders of the re
publican party in congress and the
u ministration have never aban
oned the idea of securing Cuba as
3 l ,.* rr ' tor y of the United States.
. f htie is every reason to believe
lla t (Cen. Wood has a complete
Uuerstanding with President Pal
a which involves the question of
aud that Gen. Palma is
.• *uli sympathy with the plan ul
■mteiv to make Cuba a territory
Ulc Uniied States.
A Year of Giving*
' '‘"lsliia Times,
•oast week we printed an item
0 ICIl Cl sta fcd that the benefactions
uiericau colleges for the year
would reach almost $109,000,000,
which is twice as much as the total
lor anv other year in the country’s 1
history. These unprecedented fig
ures, which include Mr. Carnegie’s
$14,500,000 to various institutions,
Mrs. Stanford’s $30,000,000 to
Stanford University, Mr. Rockefel
ler’s $2,775,000 and Mr. Pierpont
Morgan’s $1,850,000. do not by
any means exhaust the list of be
nevolences.
The churches are more fortu
nate than they have ever been,
The Methodists have raised a spe
cial fund of sls 000,000 which the
Boston Transcript says is ‘‘the
most gigantic thing of its kind any
religious body, protestaut or Cath
olic, ever achieved.” The other
denominations, with few excep
tions, have raised their records, and
it is estimated by our Boston con
temporary that if the present *ratio
keeps up the church benevolences,
which are always reported in the
spring, will beat all previous
records by at least $12,000,000,
and will stand at $74,750,000.
111 other directions generosity
has been wide and large,and it is easy
to figure that if all the sums couid
be collected the total would run
far towards half a billion of dollars.
It is the greatest exhibit of its kind
the world has ever known.
FOR STATUARY HALL.
The Committee to Devise Plars for
Raising- the Money.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 5. —It is ex
pected that the first work of the
statuary hall commission will be
to elect a permanent chairman and
perfect the organization, then de
vise plans for raising the money
necessary to erect one or two
statues.
The average cost of such statues
is said to be from $6,500 to $7,000.
It may be that the selection of the
names of the ones to be honored
will be deferred until a later meet
ing.
Friends and admirers of a num
ber of Georgians who have left an
impress on the state’s history are
at work in behalf of their favori
tes, and it is certain the commis
sion is not going to have an easy
time in arriving at a conclusion.
The names most prominently
mentioned for this honor are Gov
ernor Oglethorpe, Bob Toombs,
Alexander H. Stephens, Dr. Long,
Governors Troup and Crawford,
Henry Gradv, Ben Hill and Howell
Cobb.
The first meeting of the commis
sion is on Jan 25 and its action is
therefore awaited with much inter
est.

A punv child is always an anxie
ty to the parents, there seems gen
erally no reason why the little one
should be weak when it is so well.
But the fact is that it does not mat
ter how much food the child takes
if the stomach cannot extract the
nourishment from it. No benefit
can be derived rom just eating.
That is the condition of many a
sickly child. The stomach and or
gans of digestion and nutrition are
not doing their work, and the body
is really starving. It is little use to
give fish food, like cod liver oil or
emulsions, in such a case, because
these also have to be digested. They
may lighten the stomach’s labor but
they don’t strengthen it. Strength is
wh it the stomach needs. Dr Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery strength
ens the stomach, nouiishes the
nerves and increases the action of
the blood making glands. It is sup
erior to every other preparation for
children’s use, on account of its
body building qualities, and also
because it is pleasant to the taste
and cotains no alcohol, whisky
or other intoxicant. Dr. Pierce’s
Pleasant Pelkts are valuable aid
when the bowels are irregul nr.
