THE MORNING CALL.
Vol. IX. No. 27».
SHAFTER’S ARMY ORDERED
TO .RETURN FROM CUBA AS SOON
AS POSSIBLE
Over Three Thousand Cates of Fever
Among Hie Men —President to
lune His Ultimatum.
Washington, July 28—Secretary
Alger has given orders for the remov
al of all of Geh Shafter's army as soon
as the men, in the discretion of the
commanding officers, may be safely
brought back It is the intention of
the war department to establish a
camp for them on Long Inland.
The report of Gen. Shafter shotting
that there was a total of 3,770 cases of
sickness in the army in Cuba has given
the officials of the war department
considerable concern, but the reports
heretofore made that the yellow fever
cases were of a mild type encouraged
the hope that the r death rate will be
small. The large number of fever
cases reported, 2,924, shows that not
only yellow fever, but typhoid and
Cher kinds are numerous.
Surgeon General Sternberg says that
is the history of yellow lever that it
spreads rapidly t and having once got
started in the camp is sure do infect
many soldiers. Speaking of the other
fevers, be said that not only in Cuba,
but,io the camps in the United States
there bad been many cases, and it was
the history of all new armies that fe
vers, especially typhoid, became quite
common. This was due to the change
of climate and modi of life of the new
soldiers. Even where the water was
pure cases would arise.
Il is unofficially given out today by
members of the administration that
when the president gives an answer to
Spain’s note tomorrow it will be in the
shape of an ultimatum It will state,
however, that tbe cabinet is not yet a
unit on the final terms of peace.
The advisibility of putting the re
ply in the form of an ultimatum is
that it would prevent any lengthy
diplomatic quibbling on the part of
the Spanish government of offering to
Spain definite terms upon which peace
could be negotiated. This govern
ment thus throws upon Spain all the
responsibility of a refusal or denial.
The ultimatum will include, it is,
positively stated, tbe cession of Porto
Rico, tbe independence of Cuba, a
coaling station in tbe Lad rones and
and Philippines, and a port of free en-
Jry in the Philippines. This last will
be left sufficiently open to permit
Spain to open negotiations. *
Speaking of the peace negotiations
today it was positively stated that the
United States would accept no parley
ing.
If there must be talk instead of ac
tion upon tbe United States’ proposal,
the discussion may proceed, but abso
lately without in anyway retarding
military or naval operations. Dewey
and Merritt will proceed uninterrup
ted to execute their program in tbe
Philippines; Miles will continue bis
advance upon Porto Rico, and Watson
will bead bis squadron for tbe shores
of Spain. As these extensive move
ments will coat a great deal of money
the Spanish government, if it delays,
must expect to meet the expense
when it comes to a settlement.
The present disposition of our gov
ernment is to demand no money in
demnity from Spain, although
it might be fairly questioned
whether the small proposed
territorial acquisition of Porto Rico
and a couple of coaling stations is
anything like an adequate recompense
for the half billion dollars’ expense
that the war has imposed upon us.
From thia time on, however, tbe Span
iards Atre to be held to good (aitb by
imposing upon them any further and
. additional charges to which tbe United
States is put.

MAY DROP SOME OFFICERS.
Third Regiment Wants Those Who
Can Bring Men Into the Ranks.
All sorts of efforts arc being made
to fill up the ranks of the Third Geor
gia Regiment, United States Volun
teers, and it begins to appear that if
something is not done pretty soon,
some of the appointed officers of the
regimer.t will dropped by the way
side, at.d others who can bring men
with them, be put in their places
It is understood Col. Candler has
issued a letter to every officer connect
ed with the regiment in which be
atatea that the Governor and the offi
cers are all exceedingly anxious to fill
up the ranks of the regiment as soon
ns possible, and all cf tbe officers ars
directed to go to work and gel in their
quota without delay. In the event
officers cannot secure a reasonable
number of men? for tbe ranks of their
companies, Col. Candler very strongly
intimates that they will be expected
to resign, so that others who can meet
tbe requirements may be put in their
places.
»Some of tbe officers in the regiment
have already done their full share, but
there are others who have not. The
letter, however, was addressed to every
officer in tbe regimept, for it contained
general instructions with regard to
tbe work as well as the matter referred
to.
The Savannah officers, Capt. Henry
Kolshorn and Lieut. W. R. Leaken,
have done their full duty in tbe mat
ter, and now have a company of fifty
one enlisted men at Griffin. They se
cured all told about eighty five men,
but over thirty of them were rejected
by the examining physician, who was
quite strict. The regiment now has
some 500 to 600 men mustered in, and
recruits are going in every day .though
slowly. It looks, however, as if there
might be several changes among tbe
officers before organization has been
fully completed.
Tbe failure to issue commissions to
the officers of tbe regiment was'on ac
count of this very matter. It was de
termined to wait and see what tbe of
ficers will do in tbe way of securing
recruits, and those who fail to bring
in a reasonable number will probably
have to give way to others.—Savannah
News.
Over 750 Sick at Fort-
Tbe Atlanta Commercial says there
are 250 cases of typhoid fever at Fort
McPherson barracks, and about three
times that number that are sick alto
gether. , t
There is more sickness than has
been generally admitted, and with tbe
great number constantly coming in
from Santiago, the coast and Chicka
mauga, it will be seen that the situa
tion is more serious than at first sup
posed
Tbe Army and Navy League, with
headquarters here, of which Miss
Boone is secretary, is asking aid

diers.
Tbe Daughters of tbe American
Revolution, headed by Mrs. Patton and

Discovered by a Woman.
Another great' discovery has been
made, and .that, too, by a lady in this
country. “Disease fastened its clutches
upon her and for seven years she with
stood its severest tests, but her vital
organs were undermined and death
seemed imminent. For three months
she coughed incessantly, and could
not sleep. She finally discovered a
way to recovery, by purchasing of us
a bottle of Dr. King’s New Discovery
for Consumption, and was so much re
lieved on taking first dose, that she
slept all night; and with two bottles,
has been absolutely cured. Her name
is Mrs Luther Lutz.” Thus writes W.

IMPORTANT DICISIOR.
The Police Court Cannot Try Misde
meanor Cases-
The supreme court,in a decision re
ported Wednesday, says that tbe
“Criminal Court of Griffin” baa no ju
risdiction to try offenses against tbe
State.
Lula Grant pleaded guilty in the
‘ Criminal Court of Griffin,” before His
Honor, W. H Beck, to the charge of
larceny and was sentenced to a term
of two months io tbe ohaingang.
Before her sentence expired, her
father, Thomas Grant, sued out a writ
of habeas corpus against J. J. Camp,
superintendent of tbe cbaingaog, for
tbe purpose of having her released, al
leging that Judge Beck was without
jurisdiction to sentence her.
Tbe esse was carried to.the Supreme
Court by Thomas Grant- and that
court sustained his contentions in the
decision in tbecase as follows:
Grant vs. Camp, superintended, etc.
Before Judge Beck. City court of
Griffin.
Simmons, C. J.—-Since the adoption
of tbe present constitution of this
state, tbe legislature' cannot confer
jurisdiction over crimes against tbe
state upon a court created ’ for the
trial of municipal offenses.
Especially is this true where the
attempt to confer such jurisdiction is
in an act amending thj charter of the
city so as to create the municipal court
and there is nothing in the title of tbe
act to indicate tbe legislative purpose
to create a court for the trial of offenses
againgt the state. *
Judgment reversed. All concurring.
Thomas W. Thurman and Thomas
E. Patterson for plaintiff in error; O.
H. P. Slaton and W. H. Beck contra.
Hereafter all State cases will have
to be prosecuted in the regular State
courts, as the police court can- only
try offenses against the city ordinance.
A Chili Enjoys
The pleasant flavor, gentle action, and
soothing effect of Syrup of Figs, when in
need of a laxative, and if the father or
mother be costive or bilious, the most
gratifying results follow its use; so that it
is the best family remedy known and
every family should have a bottle.
Hard Luck in the Klondike.
In tbe latter part of the summer,,
when the country presumably will not
be too detracted by war to listen, there
will be a very pretty tale of woe from
the northern gold fields, as a sort of
complement to the golden stories that
were brought thence a year ago.
Miners returning to San Francisco
this week have a great deal to say of
ill health, privation, high prices on
flour, frost bites .and chilblains, but
they have very little to say about gold.
Frozen toes and empty stomachs were
more plentiful in their experience
than rich “strikes.”
The men who brought tbe money
from Alaska last year were for the
most part miners and arctic campaign
ers of experience. In tbe rush to ths
fields this spring, induced by the luck
ot tbe pioneers, there were many men
without experience for mining or for
enduring the hardships of tbe winter.
The result is likely to be a reversal of
last year’s reports, in which little was
heard of suffering and much of riches.
The Argonauts of ’9B will probably
bring back a preponderance of disgust
and disappointment.—Chicago News.
Bought Another Store.
On yesterday morning about 8
o’clock the doors of tbe store of F. J.
Kane & Co, swung to a close, and in a
few minutes thereafter Capt. J. L.
Bass came out, and the bystanders re
marked : “It is another trade,” and so
it is. Bass Bros. & Co., have bought
out the entire stock of goods of Kane
& Co., and were busy all day yester
day making an inventory of same,
preparatory to the transfer, a • •
It is Bass Bros.’ intention to close out
their retail business, and the purchase
of the Kane stock does not alter their
intentions in that direction.—Rome

SPALDING COUNTY PEACHES
Sent to the Georgia Building at
Omaha Exposition.
While Spalding does not ship as
many peaches as some few counties of
this state, she nevertheless has tbe
reputation of growing as fine fruit as
can be found anywhere.,,
This is proven by the fact that Ex-
Governor Norlben has selected our
county in which to secure fruit to ex
hibit in the Georgia building at tbe
Omaha exposition. Tbe fine display
which this state made at Nashville's
big show has been sent to Omaha, but
the exhibit was not as complete as tbe
committee wished, and Mr. Northen
will have the deficiency supplied from
Bpaiding county.
He wrote to Prof. Eugene Raglaud
seme time since, ashing him to get up
several varieties of peaches and plums
and forward them to tbe committee in
Atlanta, when they would be sent to
the exposition.
Mr. Ragland has securgd about fif
teen varieties of peaches and twelve
varieties of plums, which he will send
to Atlanta today. They ' are as fine
specimens of perfect fruit as can be
produced anywhere, and will be an ad
vertisemeot for our county and a val
uable addition to the already flue dis
play which Georgia has at the Omab*
exgosition.
A Sad Death.
On last Thursday, at the residence
of her father, Mr. G. W. Davis, at
Smarrs, Mrs. Eunice G. Coppage, of
Spalding county, departed this life
Mrs. Coppage for twelve -yeeks suf
fered tbe most intense and agonizing
torture, but she bore it all with mark
ed patience and forbearance. She
was tbe oldest daughter of Mr. G, W*
Davis, and the entire family is now
resting under a lowering cloud of tbe
deepest sorrow and grief.
Tbe friendrof Mr. Davis, and the
merciful people of tbe community ex
tend to tbe stricken ones their deep
est sympathy.—Forsyth Chronicle.
TBE EXCELLENCE OF SW OF FIGS
fa due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it fa

known to the California Fig Strop
Co. only, and we wfah to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs fa manufactured
by the California Fig Strop Co.

assfat one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Strop Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
