Vol. X. No. 235
TO ASSASSINATE AMERICANS
Cubans at Santiap,o Have an
zation Similar to Italian Mafia?.
Santiago !<• Ciiia June G—llu
tnors are curiem that ; u orgatrzitior
similar to the Italian Mafias txisti
here among the Cubans, with assassi
nation i,i Aniericans oii’tm ive to the
society as its object. It is believed
that some of the recent mysterioui
disappearances of Americans is due tc
this organization.
Several anonymous letters have been
received by American official* recent
ly, making vague charges of oppres
sion against the Americans, threatens
ing an early revolt if the Americans
do not evacuate the inlands immedi
ately.
One of the writers says that trouble
may be expected about June 20. The
police are trying to /I't-cover the
writers of the letters, but it is hardly
likely that they will succeed. The
Americans are not at ail alarmed by
the threats.
Gen. Brooke has authoriz 'd the es
tablishment of a press censorship here,
owing to the continued publication of
seditious and inflammatory articles in
all the papers of the city. The editors
have been informed that they will be
severely punished if they violate the
orders relative to the character bl the
editorials they print
To Press the Fighting.
The president is understood to have
made up his mind to go ahead and
whip the Filipinos, regardless of the
rainy season. This may be more diffi
colt for the army to accomplish than
for Mr. McKinley and his advisers to
plan. We have only a small force in
the Philippines and most of the sol
diers are thoroughly tired out from
active campaigning Many prostra
tions from heat are reported daily and
the unfavorable weather, in connection
with the roughness of the country,
make active campaigning on the part
of weary, broken down troops extreme
ly difficult and dangerous.
The enemy is aware of the fact that
the Americans are unable to furnish
troops to hold captured territory and
avoid engagements es much ns possi
ble, unless the advantage is all on their
side.
The administration appears to be
lieve that hostilities in the Philippines
will end before a great while. The
general public hardly shares this view
of the matter. Outside of administra
tion circles it is believed that little can
be accomplished until after the rainy
season is over, when a larger force will
be ended to bring the enemy to
terms.
To a certain extent, however, (he
public is in the dark »■> to the situa
tion in the Philippine'. Censured dis
patches do not give a very clear view
of conditions on the inlands and inside
information may came the adminis
tration to take what the public con
siders rather an optimistic view of the
situation.—Columbus Enquirer-Sun.

He Wanted a Pension
Opie Read tells a story of a colored
man who had conceived the idea that
he could get a pension from the Gov
ernment. He went to a pension agent
to learn what steps it would ho neces
sary for him to take to bring about the
desired result.
“Were you really m the army, Sam?’’
asked the agent.
“Yas, sab ; indeed I was, sub ; I was
in de army for more’n a year, sah.”
“What regiment were you in. Sam? *1
“Well, sab, 1 don't just this minute i
recommember : but I’se gwine to bring
you all de papers and d.it will explain
de matter.”
“But. you surely remember whom
you were with, Sam?’’
“Oh, yas, sah; I recomniember dat
all right. 1 was wid my young master.” I
“Oh, then you were in the Confed- 1
erate army, were you'I’’ 1 ’’
“Yas, sah ; yas, sah.”
“Were you ever wounded, Sam?”
“Yus, sab ; indeed I was. See dat
acAr, sah ; I got dat scar in de army.””
“What was it hit you, Sam?”
“W ■. I, sah, it vie a skillet, sah ; in
deed i: was; a big iron skillet.”
“Now. we here, Sam, what chance
can you have to get a pension? In the
first place, you wi re in the rebel army
and the only wound you received was
from a skillet. What in the world has
our government i"t h do with your
case?”
“Wall.-ah, it was a g. vi rement
skillet.” —Times-H er aid.

the northern people ncr to anybody
else about the conduct of affair# in the

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 7, 1899
rl A $3,000,000 Insult-
Gen. Ci'Eazo has published an orti
3 <’ '■ i<i tie Herald of Havana in widi-l
'li- -ays ihat. giving i.f $3,000 001
to ths- Cuban soldiers is an insult H<
says the Cubans don’t want charity.
Gen Collazo is mistaken in thinking
j that our government is offering thi
Cubans charily by distributing $3,000
000 among their soldier#. It intend'
to collect every cent of that, tnonej
from Cuba ft will take the amoun
out of the Cuban customs recipts ai
soon as the money cau be spared I
has already given the Cubans all it in
tends to give them.
Gen. Collazo doesn’t seen, to think
it would have been an insult if oui
’ government had undertaken to dis
tribute $50,000,000 among the Cuban
soldiers, including the officers, instead
of $3,000,000. The amount would have
been so magnificent that there would
’ have been no insult in it.
The entire trouble with Gen. Collazo
I and the other troublesome Cuban gen
erals is that they are not getting the
money they expected to get They
had a fine scheme for looting the is
land. They thought that they would
be permitted to take possession and
set up a government of theii own.
1 hey would then proceed to issue
bonds for many millions of dollars,and
use the money in paying their own
claims for services—claims, in many
instances, of very doubtful validity.
Neither Gen. Collaz i nor the other
Cuban generals seem to take into con
sideration the fact that it was the
United States that released Cuba from
the yoke of Spain, and that the United
States prevented the saddling of Cuba
with a huge debt. They also overlook
th# fact that without the guarantee of
the United Stales Cuba couldn’t sell
bonds to the amount of $50,000,000,
except at a ruinous discount. In fact,
it is doubtful if she could sell them at
all.
What, then, has Gen. Collazo to
complain of? Nothing, except that
he and other generals are not paid
their preposterous claim# If they
i were the patriots they pretend to be*
i they would go to wotk and build up
their country, just as the Southern
people built up the South after the
war of secession. If $50,000,000 were
distributed among the men alleged to
have composed the Cuban army there
would be little til’ort to restore the
; island to prosperity until all the money
I was spent.
The way to make a country pros
perous and rich is by developing its
resources. The thing for the Cubans,
the generals as well as the private sol
diers, to do, is to go to work. They
would be helped and encouraged by
■I '‘ d ~ . - ■ v.;.; 4i nd
they are making a mistake if they
think our government is going to sup
port them in idleness. Their entir#
lack of gratitude for what has been
done for them is sufficient to make the
American people regret that they ever
extended a helping band to them

, Small Industries
I A Bibb county citizen has demon
strated that one of tho b?st paying
3 ventures for a Georgia farmer is a
. small canning plant.
} Mr. N. S. Outier, the Holland dis-
V trict, invested in a plant last year, the
cost of which, all told, did not exceed
j $150; ami during the seaton he cann-
I ed several thousand crates of peaches
This year he will have no peaches, but
g ho is planting a large field of to-
I matoea, which he will can for the mar
-3 kOttJ
in speaking of bis venture, Mr.
Outier said to a Itltgraph reporter i
r few Jays ago : “My neighbors laughed
at mo when they saw the large stacks
, es fruit cane, and declared 1 would
t never be able to sell om-lcnth of what
I; I bad canned. I replied that it made
little difference, as the cost of canning
was very small and I was willing to
[ take the risk. If I c .uldo’t sell them I
I would have a mighty good time eating
them.
“But gracious! I didn’t have to
»
. stir cut of my tracks to sell all I bad.
The merchants swooped down on me
. from all directions anxious to buy,
and I am just tickled to death with
I my success
“My neighbors have changed their
j opinion about the wisdom of my ven-
T tore, and it is likely that canning
I plants on farms will in time be found
, in many parts ol Georgia. I will plant
, garden truck, and that which I don’t
market I will can and sell as I find
the opportunity.”—Macon Telegraph.
There is a leesonin the above for
the truckers and farmers of this sec
tion.
