THE EVENING GALL.
Vol. X. No. 177.
malolos captured.
The Insurgents Burned the Town and
Retreated North-
Manila, Friday March 31.—The
American forces have captured Malo*
los, the insurgent capital.
Early thin morning the baggage
trains were brought up and the
bridges repaired. Our troops recon*
noitered the country to within a mile
of Malolos. They did not find the
enemy-in force, but discovered scat
tered bodies of Filipino soldiers and
about 2.000 natives, retreating east
ward.
At half past two o’clock yesterday
afternoon, McArthur resumed his ad
vance from half a mile beyond Gui
quinato. The Nebiaska, South Da
kota and Pennsylvania volunteers
were on the right. They met some
opposition from the enemy in the
woods, but soon drove them out. Half
a mile further on they bad another
engagement with the enemy, in which
they were again victorious.
The Kansas and Montana volun
teers and the Third artillery, on the
left, were not ou the firing line.
Out troops bivouaced for the night
a mile and a half from Malolos, and
under fire of the rebel sharpshooters.
This morning our mtn pushed on
and captured the town. Telegraphic
orders were found at Guiquinato, di
recting transportation over the rail
road to Calumpit, six miles beyond
Malolos, where the enemy will be pur
sued.
It is probable that resistance wil'. be
met with, as the country is rough and
the rivers necessitate a slow advance.
Our casualties ic the fighting near
Guiquintano were as follows: First
Nebraska, 4 killed, 30 wouuded.
Tenth Pennsylvania—One killed, 3
wounded.
First South Dekota—Ten wounded.
Gen. McArthur entered Malolos at
10 o’clock this morning. The natives
burned the town and then evacuated.
The rebels are in full retreat to the
north, where Aguinaldo went two days
ago
Curry’s Courtmartial.
Lieutenant Frank Z. Curry, Third
Georgia volunteer infantry, may be
tried at Fort McPherson for the kill
ing of Private Leo Reid, Second ar
tillery. The killing occurred on Jan.
10th, in the Pink Light saloon, River
street, Savannah, only a few days prior
to the departure of the Third Georgia
forNuevitas. As soon as the regi
ment returned to the United States,
the matter of the charge against the
officer was called to the attention of
the officials at the department of the
gulf headquarters, and yesterday
morning Lieutenant Curry was sur
rendered to a guard from department
headquarters. He is expected to ar
rive in Atlanta this morning and will
be taken at once to Fort McPherson,
where he will be kept under guard
until his case is called by the court
martial board. The order directing
the courtmartial is expected to be is
sued today, and although officials at
department beadquarters are uncer
tain as to where the trial will occur,
the fact that Curry will be brought to
Fort McPherson indicates that the
board will be convened at that post
Constitution.
Robbed, the Grave-
A startling inicident, of which Mr.
John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the
subject, is narrated by him as follows :
“I was in a most dreadful condition.
My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunk
en, tongue coated, pain continually in
back and sides, no appetite—gradually
growing weaker day by day Three
physicians had given me up. For
tunately, a friend advised trying ‘Elec
trie Bitters:’ and to my great joy and
surprise, the first bffttle made a great
improvement. I continued their use
for three weeks, and am now a well
man I know they saved my life, and
robbed the grave of another victim.”
No one should fail to try them. Ouly

Watches Free to Young People.
The firm of Forsbee & Co., Ink Manu
facturers, Cincinnati, Ohio, have adopted a
novel plan for the introduction of their
Mew Idea Writing Ink. They are giving
away a fine stem winding and stem setting
watch to each boy and girl who sells 24
pints ot their New Idea Writing Ink at
the introductory price of 10 cents a pint
(ink is worth 50c.) They don’t want you
to send money, simply mention that you
saw the notice in this paper and they will
; OrW i j Y° u le prepaid, and when it
is sold, you send them the $2.40 you get
for it, then they send you the watch free
(prepaid). This is a splendid opportunity
■ or some of our young people to easily earn
a watch. They also have other valuable
presents for the introduction of their inks,
we intend to use the inks in our office.
TROUBLE WILL SOON END-
1 ; Not Much Concern is Felt Over the
Situation in Samoa
s Washinton, March 31.—Although
« the government deeply regrets that
force was necessary in Samoa, tbe con
! flict has not caused nearly so much
i concern as might have been expected,
i There is evidently an lionest confi-
■ dence felt that tbe matter will be
■ amicably adjusted, diplomatically, and
while it is admitted that futher hos
tilities may cause international fric
tion, a feeling that the matter will end
peaceably geneially obtains
To prevent the likelihood of interna
lional difficulties, however, instruc
tions were sent Admiral Kautz, this
afternoon to maintain the statu quo
and exercise the greatest caution in
dealing with the political aspect of the
Samoan question.
Consul Osborne is to send immedi
ately a full report of tbe trouble. In
the negotiations now pending, Gei
many has setup the principle that no
action should be taken at Apia, without
the approval of all three of the consuls.
America and Great Britain centend,
however, that the German consul, by
refusing to abide by the supreme
court, violated the terms of the treaty,
thus making it necessary for the other
consuls to act without him.
The government has been informed
that Admiral Kautz found affairs bor
dering on anarchy ; that the lives of
Americans were in danger from Ma
taafa’s followers and, therefore he
adopted means to end those conditions.
Negotiations with Great Brit ain and
Germany have reached a point where
the basis of a temporary adjustment
may be reached. Germany has sug
gested 'hat commissioners be appoint
ed to arrange a new agreement, and it
is now unlikely that this government
and Great Britain will consent to that
scheme.

Too Small for Prosecution-
Yesterday afternoon some one en
tered the black smith shop of James
Wood and carried off a large lot of old
iron and the affair being repotted to
the police they at once set out to run
down and arrest the guilty parties.
This was soon accomplished when
they learned that Clarence Lovett and
Charley Lucier, two small negro boys,
had forced an entrance into tbe shop
and carried off considerable old iron,
which they sold-
They were arrested and carried to
the police station, but owing to the
fact that both were babies they were
turned over to their mothers for pun
ishment, which was satisfactory to all
parlies except the young thieves who
declare a leather strap soaked in salt
water, is a punishment mere severe
than the toils upon tbe public roads.

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA. FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 31, 1899.
Morton s New Party-
It is evident fr.,m the amount of
e talking he is doing, ih.it Hou S i ring
Morton i.« v< rj much io mrm-rt in his
efforts in behalf of a new party. In
the interview with him which we pub-
I lished yesterday he expressed the opin
ion that the proposed new party would
i be organized July 4, and that it would
be a pre-eminently conservative party.
Mr. Morton seems to think that the
time is ripe for a new party, but it is
I doubtful if any considerable number of
people in any part of the country agree
with him. Instead of titre being, as
I he says, a "vast field for the operatii n
of a new party,” it seems to us that
the field is pretty well covered by tbe
parties already in existence. The only
hops for a new party is a new issue
which will take a firm hold on tbe
people. Mr. Alorton doesn’t suggest
any new issue His idea seems to be J
to make a platform for the proposed
new party out of the declarations of
tbe platform of the parties already in
existence.
The men who started the Populist
party thought that that party would
sweep the country as a fire sweeps tbe
dry grass of a prairie, but they were
mistaken. The Populist party is prac
tically a thing of the past. It is true
that it has nominated a Presidential
ticket for 1900, but it will not poll
many more votes than the Prohibition
ticket usually does
If Mr. Morton wants to lead a new
party which will make its influence
felt he must find a new issue which
will appeal strongly to the hearts and
consciences of the people Can he
find such an issue? It is doubtful.
About every i-sue growing out of
the war with Spain will bo covered by
the platforms of the Repub'iciin and
Democratic parties, and it is well un
derstood what the positions <4 ixisting
parties are on financial mailers Mr
Merton may have some issues which
he is keeping in the background until
the time comes for launching tbe new
party, but it will not be generally be
lieved he has, unless be makes them
known. Just at present his talk of a
new party will not excite a great deal
of interest—Savannah News
Jefferson's Birthday-
Then. will be many notable gather- I
in B s this year of Democrats to cele ;
brate Jefferson’s birthday. Referring I
to these the Macon Evening News :
says: ;
"The more gatherings of democrats 1
on Jefferson’s Day, to celebrate the i
birth of tbe great founder of the Dem- i
ocratic party, the better. The right |
of free speech was ever a Democratic i
tenet, and on April 19 everybody who i
alaims to bold to Democratic priuci- •
pies should be enabled to declare him- ■
self openly if such be his desire. What
is wanted this year is a complete and
frank understanding, so that when the
Democratic convention shall meet
1 next year there will ensue no such
' division among the delegates as mark
ed the convention of 1896 Just what
' the party situation is may best be de-
■ termined after everybody has spoken,
’ Those who will refuse to support
the platform of the nsxt con
vention, if it declares for free
, silver again will not say so now ;
I those who will not support it if an
I anti-expansion plank is incorporated
■ should do likewise, and those who will
! stand loyally by the democracj’ even
I if they subscribe to every declaration,
, should assert themselves There is
I ample justification for the man who
votes a democratic ticket at all times
and under all circumstances, for there
i are some things in its creed from
i which it will never depart and which
! give it eternal vitality. As Jefferson
s and Hamilton were opposed, so must
democracy and republicanism be ever
s opposed.”

Canneries in Georgia-
7 During the past season a cann
factory in Georgia sold canned goods
in car load lots to dealers in Balti
more, who, in turn, sold them to mer
chants in Georgia and Alabama in
• mall lots. This goes to show that
there is no reason why canneries in
Georgia should uot be able to compete
successfully with such establishments
in other states. Tbe particular can
nery that sold to the Baltimore house
has doubled its capacity and expects
to make still larger profits another
season. When peaches and fruits are
scarce, vegetables can be bad in
abundance in Georgia, so there is no
excuse for a cannery to bo idle in this
state during the canring season

Excellent Combination.
' The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
Syrup of Figh, manufactured by the
California Fig Syrup Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa
tive principles of plants known to be
medicinally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the California Fig Svnur
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid imitations, please
remember the full name of tin Company
printed on the front of every package.
