THE EVENING CALL. 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.

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 Savannab New >.
