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.

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 throughout tbe state for the sick sol diers.

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. C. Hamnick & Co., of Shelby, N. C. Trial bottles free at J. N. Harris & Sou and Carlisle <fc Ward’s Drug Store. Regular size 50c and SIOO.

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.

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 Tribune.

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.
