THE EVENING GALL. Vol. X. No. 207. SELLING THEIR ARMS Cubans Disposing of Weapons to Rev olutionary Agents in Colombia. Havana, May s—Ei Reconceutrado stys that Gen Nodarse will not accept the post of chief of the rural guard in Havana province, because he says he cannot submit to the orders of the Americans. The consul of the republic of Colom bia has filed a prolest with the secre tary of state, declaring that the Cuban soldiers are selling arms to revolu tionary agents in Colombia. The con sul believes that the main ptomoter in the sale of arms is a general in the Cuban army, but a Columbian by birth, who joined Calix'o Garcia in New York in 1896 and came with him to Cuba. The consul declared that most of the arms are supplied by the troops in the provinces of Matar zis and Puerto Principe. The civil gov ernors of these provinces deny the consul’s charges. A newspaper, inspired by Gen. Go mez and backed financially by some 1 of bis friends, will soon be established i here. It will be called La Indepen- i dencia, and its program will be the es- ’ tablishment of a republic in Cuba un- ; der the presidency of Gen Gomez. The transport Havana will sail on Saturday for New York with 1,500 I troops. Gen. Brooke has ordered Ma- ’ jor Glennon, of the medical corps, and Drs. Gregory, Medina and Ferrer to accompany the soldiers The Vigilan cia has sailed with SGO troops aboard. ’ Gen. Ludlow has ordered the con- s struction of two barracks for the ac- < commodalion of 400 men near Morro Castle and the Cabana fortress La Luche says that the purchase of j the Sagua and Caibarieu railways> f which was effected on Sunday, will i probably not prove a good business 1 transaction for the Spanish Bank of ' Cuba, which furnished $2,000,000 of , the purchase price. I M . 1 Gilmore's Genorosity £ Il was at the time when Gilmore ’ was at the bight of bis Taris engage ment that bis agent ran off with his funds and Idl the old bandmaster al most stranded, writes Lilian Nordica j in Ainslee’s Magazine. Despite his i sincere trouble he retained his imper turbable good nature and came out of 1 it sucessfully. He came to me one I morning, smiling good-naturedly as g usual. After greeting me and inquir- t ing after my health, he said, “My dear s child, you have saved some little mon- j ey on this tour.” I told him yes. “Now, I would like to borrow that ( little from you." j I was very much surprised at the ( request, for he said nothing whatever i of his loss. Still, he had been so uni- t formly kind and generous, and bad t won our confidence and regard so wholly, that I a could not hesitate. I > turned over nearly all I bad and he , gathered it up and went away, simply i thanking me. Os course, I beard of < the defalcation later. It was all ] around. Our salaries went right on < however, and in a few months the whole thing had been quite forgotten, ( when he came to me one morning t with money ready in his hand. , “To pay you what 1 owe you, my ] dear.” * Oh, yes,” I said, “so and so much,” naming the amount. “Here it is,” he said, and handing 1 me over a roll of bills, went away. Os ' 1 course, I did not count it until a little later, but when I did I found just f double the amount I had named, and < no persuasion would ever induce him to accept a penny of it back. 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 constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and wnen 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 de stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous sur faces.

Beck of the ' Third Georgia regiment, who is better known and loved and feared in this section as Judge Beck, was in the city today and looked bis healthy, genial 1 self. In reply to the question of ‘Will 1 you become one of us?” he said : “It is probable that I will make Griffin my home, but I don’t know just where I will have my residence. \ Os course I will practice law for a liv ing ami as (or a partner, I have made no definite arrangements for anything as yet." With an expressive shrug of the shoulders and a genial smile, the talk was at an end, but Griffin has stamped its seal upon one of the brainy men of Georgia, and we believe Marcus W. Beck, be be judge, major or private citizen, is ours.” In this connection we are glad to say that Judge Beck has purchased the property near the head of Hill street, known as the old home of W. E. H.

It is Expected They Will Make a Stand at Arayat Manila, May s.—Mujor General McArthur has carried Sir. Tomas, as» ter encountering strong resistance. The Filipinos are retreating toward San Isidro, and it is expected they will make a stand at Arayat, at which place the whole of the rebel forces in the province of Panganga is concen trating. Il is reported that, impressed by the recent events, the Filipinos are waver ing in their allegiance to the insurrec tion and are likely to assume a neutral attitude. It seems as though Gen. Antonio Luna’s forces are destined to annihila tion within a few days unless they surrender or scatter. The American army Iris been skill fully posted at points of immense strategic advantage. The insurgents expected them to advance on Bali nag byway of Quinga and bad furrowed the entire country beyond Quinga with the strongest s»rt of intrench ments. Instead of taking this course, Gen. McArthur swung toward San Tomas, the route to which was almost unpro tected. Gen. Lawton brought hie brig ade in against Balsuam from the southeast, covering the line of retreat the rebels toward the mountains and depriving them ot a refuge on which they bad already counted Gen, Law ton captured 50 000 bushels of rice, an important part of the stores establish ed by the rebels.

Two Conventions Suggested- Two conventions have been suggest ed to deal with the condition of affairs which exist in this state —a condition which was brought forcibly to the attention of the people by the crimes and lynching of Sam Hose. One,sug gested by Judge George Hillyer, is that a convention of the most prominent men of the state be called to consider the best means for dealing with lynch ing and the crimes which lead to it. The other, proposed by Mr. Louis F. Garrard, is that a constitutional convention bo called for the pur pose of practically eliminating the negro from politics and to provide for a more speedy trial of those guilty of the crime for which lynching is the most com mon. The condition which confronts the people of this and every other South ern state is likely to grow worse rather than better, no matter what means are adopted to improve it except the mi gration of the blacks or withdrawal from them of the political and civil rights they now have. We do not be lieve there can be peace between the white and black races in this country if political equality is permitted to the blacks. The superior race must dom inate everywhere and all times Ex-Senator Ingalls stated the truth the other day when be said that the President would not dare to appoint a negro postmaster in any Northern city—that no village in either Penn sylvania or Massachusetts would sub mit to negro domination to any extent. He further said that the reason the race was not prominent in lh( N rlh as in the South was that in the North the negro aas not in the white man’s way, but that if there was a large ne gro population in that section, as there is in the South, thete would ba the same race frictions there as are here. That be unders'anda the situation there is no doubt, and it is to hi- cred it that he has the courage to state his convictions. The race question, then is not a question for the South alone. It is a question for the whole country, and it 1 ought to be discussed now with a view to its permanent settlement. It is doubtful if anything that could be done by a convention of prominent men of this state or by a constitution al convention would permanently set tle it, It is probably true that a i |RoVaL Baking Powder Made from pure cream of tartar.

Is there not something worth con sidering in the suggestion that the migration of negroes to the Philippines be encouraged? T. Thomas Fortune, a negro of considerable prominence in Washington, says : “A# a solution of the difficulty, I believe that if the talk about populating the Philippine islands with Afro-Americans could take tan gible shape it would do it. If the government will furnish the transpor tation we can furnish plenty of people who will go to those islands. They would be strong men, thoroughly imbued with American ideas, who would be a positive acquisition to the Philippine population.” If only a small part of the negroes emigrated the negro would be less in the way of the white man in the South, and the race antagonism therefore ' wouldn’t be so intense. The race prob- < Lm> is a most serious one, and its soln tion calls for careful thought of the best minds of the country.
