Eippsnings la tho State of Inter
(Etiaj Import,
Colonial For fieortHft-.
A letter from Sparta, Win., which
reached Secretory of State Phil Cook
a day or two ago, indicates that a
large number of people of that town
and elsewhere are preparing to form a
colony for the purpose of coming to
Geoi gia.
The communication is one in which
the secretary of state has every confi
dence, since it comes through an offi
cial of Monroe connty, Wi*conoo, to
whom application had doubtless been
made as to the conditions in Georgia.
C. H. Stevens, register of deeds,
in his letter, asked for facts concern
ing the climate, soil, price of land and
educational advantages to be found in
this state. Mr. Cook will make an ef
fort to get all the pamphlets descrip
tive of Georgia soil and life at the fcar
liost moment and will forward them to
Registrar Stevens.
The commnnication is tho second of
the kind to he received from the north
west. in the past two weeks. The first
letter reaching Secretary Cook was
from a French philanthropist, who is
now in St. Paul preparing the way for
several colonies of French peasants,
who are to be brought to America.
There is a hope that both plans to
b?',ng large colonies to Georgia will
work out successfully. Following is
the letter from the registrar of deeds
of Monroe county, Wisconsin:
Ron. Phil Cook, Secretary of State: Pear
Sir—There aro several partties in this state
who no thinking of locating in tho south.
They have capital and would like to locate
a colony. We would like to get all the in
formation possible in regard to climate,
soil, price of land and educational advan
tages of your state. Any information you
ran give us on these points will ho appre
ciated. Itespe.tfully, C. 11. Stevens,
Registrar of Deeds.

An Unimual Injunction.
In the Chatham superior court Mrs.
Laura E. Newton, of Savannah, filed a
petition for divorce from her husband,
Robert Newton, alleging cruel treat
ment.
The sensational part of the proceed
ings camo when the petitioner asked
for an injunction restraining her hus
band from coming about her house or
having anything further to do with her
or her children.
The injunction was granted by Jndgo
Paul Seabrook of the Atlantic circuit
in the absence of Judge Robert Falli
gant. Mr. Newton was permitted to
send a drayman to the house for his
wearing apparel, but if he tries to en
ter the house he will bo nrrested and
placed in jail.
This is the second time in the histo
ry of Georgia so far as the Savannah
attorneys know of this action being
taken by a wife seeking divorce. The
supreme court in 1897 decided that
the course was a legal one.

flic American Warships Entail
Fearful Destruction.
INSURGENTS RESIST FIERCELY
Men From the Charleston and
Concord Land Under
Hot Fire.
A special from Manila says: The
United States cruiser Charleston, the
monitor Monterey and the gunboats
Concord and Zafiro, with marines and
blue jackets from the cruiser Balti
more, left Cavite September ISth and
proceeded to Snbig bay to destroy an
insurgent cannon there.
Owing to the bad weather the oper
ation was postponed until Saturday,
when the warships for three hours
bombarded the town of Olangopo and
the intrenchments where the gun was
situated.
Men from the Charleston, Concord
and Zafiro were then landed under a
heavy insurgent fire, proceeding to the
cannon, which was utterly destroyed
by gun cotton aud then returning to
the warship. The Americans had one
man wounded during the engagement.
While waiting in Subig bay for bet
ter weather, the Americans descried
Filipino re enforcements moving to
ward Olangapo. At 6:40 a. m. Satur
day the Monterey began the advance
upon the town, which was about three
miles oast of the monitor’s anchorage.
The Charleston, Concor„d and Zafiro
followed.
At 7:25 the Monterey opened fire
with her second artillery and main
batteries, the Charleston and Concord
joining immediately. At 7:38 the in
surgents’ cannon answered, the first
shot passing close to the Monterey’s
smokestack. The gun was fired twice
only.
dhs American bombarding then be
came general. At 9:30 the Monterey
advanced to a range of 600 yards,
using her main battery. Two hun
dred and fifty men were landed about
800 yards east of the cannon at 11
o’clock under a severe Mauser fire.
The men from the Charleston were
the first to reach the beach, but the
Concord’s men were the first to the
gun, which they reached at 11:10.
The cannon was found to be a sixteen
centimeter Krupp gun, presumably
obtained from the Spaniards.
Meanwhile the warships continued
to shell the shelving beach on the
east aud west to silence the insurgent
fire upon the sailors from the trenches
skirting the beach.
Gunner Olsen exploded fifty pounds
of guncotton, in three discharges, in
the cannon, which had sufiered from,
tho fire of the warships. The Ameri
cans then returned to the boats, tho
firing inland being kept up to protect
the embarkation. The Concord's men
were the last to leave the shore and
the warships were reached at 12:50
p. m.
Cadet Brinser, with the Concord’s
launch, armed with a gatliug, did. ex
cellent work on the left of the
lauding party. Captain Myers, of the
mraines, captured a muzzle-loading
field piece. Lieutenant McDonald was
in command of the landing party and
the movement was splendidly executed
aud controlled.
The number of Filipinos there could
not be ascertained and no dead were
seen.
The Monterey fired for four hours—
twenty-one shots from her ten-inch
guns and seventeen from her twelve
inch gnns.
The town, which was riddled with
shells, took fire at several points.
Fatal Oil Explosion.
While making preparations to
“shoot” the Ravi oil well, near Wells
ville, 0., Salurday afternoon, the \v<*ll
overllowed and tho oil ignited from the
fire under the boiler, causing a terrible
explosiou. Two men were killed out
right and three others injured, two of
them it is thought, fatally.

PENSION LAWYERS ROASTED.
Tennessee Jtidjre Denounces Them In
Charge to Grand Jury.
Judge C. D. Clark, of the United
States court in Knoxville, Tenn., has
stirred up the local pension attorneys
by his charge to the grand jury. lie
denounced tho pension attorneys as
members of a trade in which not so
much is done to aid honorable and
worthy soldiers as to put upon the
government payrolls and cause to be
supported the grossest kind of frauds.
The judge referred to recent expos
ures of pension frauds mado before
his court at Nashville, saying, iu some
instances, transactions brought to light
were a disgrace to civilization, and
that it is doubtful if any well managed
government suffers such a burden of
fraud as the people are being by rea
son of the abuse of the government's
justly liberal disposition to disabled
soldiers aud their families.
