WILL HAISE COLON
Hobton Say* That Ke Can Save the
Cruiser—Department Lends Aid-
Washington, Sept. 29—Assistant
Secretary Allen, who has been directly
in charge of the arrangement a made
with the wrecking companies for rais*
aog auch of the Spanish warships
sunk or stranded in the battle of Joly
3, as can be removed, said today re*
sering to Constructor Hobson’s work
on the Teresa, that the navy depart**
meet bad given the young construe*
tor all of the aaaistance which it was
possible to extend in the prosecution
of bis work.
Moreover, it is now proposed to give
him further aid in bis effort to raise
the Colon, by far the finest ship of the
Spanish squadron. Whatever credit
has been earned by Constructor Hob*
son by reason of the Teresa would, in
the opinion of Mr, Allen, be largely
exceeded if the attempt to raise the
Colon results successfully. In case of
this ship, the young constructor has
pledged bis professional reputation
against the unanimous opinion of all
the expert wreckers who have exam*
ined the ship. Yet, the navy depart-*
ment is unhesitatingly supporting
Hobson’s judgment as is indicated by
the fact that yesterday it shipped from
New York $20,000 worth of specially
manufactured rubber air bags to be
used in lifting the Colon.
Economical Filipinos.
Aguinaldo has already discovered
that it would not be an easy matter to
establish and maintain an indepeu**
dent government in the Philippine
Islands. The Congress of the Filipi
nos, which has been in session some
time, shows a very decided disposition
not to levy taxes for the support of an
army. Borne of the representatives in
attendance upon the Congress say
very frankly that their constituents
do not want to pay any taxes. Io fact,
it is quite aoparent from the advices
received from the Philippines that
the people of some of the provinces do
not intend to pay any. The Fillipibos
know, however, that order cannot be
maintained without an army, and that
an army cannot be bad without money,
and that the only way for a govern
ment to get money is by means of
taxation. It is suggested by them, in
order to get rid cf taxes, that an
American protectorate be accepted.
Representatives of some of the pro
vinces also say that their people will
not favor any government with which
Aguinaldo has anything to do.
It is not to be wondered at that,
under the circumstances, the tone of
Wguinaldo is a little more humble
than it was a short time ago. It he
saw bis way clearly to control the
island be would give Gen. Otis a great
deal more trouble than he has yet. He
is willing now to obey Gen. Oiis’ or
ders, because he cannot help himself.
If the Filipinos Congress refuses to
provide money for the insurgent forces
Aguinaldo’s army Till disappear, in
all probability, a good while before the
Paris commission decides what the
fate of the Philippines shall be. The
objection of the Filipinos to taxation
may pat it out of the power of Agui*
naldo to shape the destiny of the
Philippines in any important particu
lar.—Savannah News.

The readers of this paper will be pleas
ed to learn that there is at least one dread
ed disease that science has been able to
cure in all its stages and that is Catarrh.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the only positive
cure known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional disease, re
quires a constitutional treatment. Hall’s
Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous sur-
J. faces of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the cons
titution and assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers, that they offer
One Hundred Dollars for any case that it
fails to cure. Bend for list of testimonials.

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 30,1898.
8. 8. Infanta Maria Teresa, U. 8. M.
The navy has now been increased
by the addition of a large and capable
vessel which has not heretofore, ap
peared in any appropriation bill. The
vessel referred to is the armored cruie*
er Infanta Maria Teresa, formerly of
the Spanish navy, and lately of Boley’s
naval graveyard along the coast west
of Santiago. Hobson has resurrected
her, the breath of a new life will be
blown into her nostrils and she will go
forth to a new, and it is to be hoped,
prosperous career under tbe Stars and
Stripes.
There is a rule in tbe havy that re*
pairs shall not be made to a vessel if
the expense will be greater than a cer
tain percentage of tbe original coat of
tbe craft. It is said that tbe Teresa
could be repaired and placed in first
class condition under that rule; but
even if such were not the case, tbe
probabilities are that the rule would
be suspended and the vessel would be
rehabilitated for sentimental reasons.
The Teresa was pretty heavily poun
ded during the fight. She was struck
twenty-nine times—As often as the
Vizcaya, which is a complete wreck.
But the Teresa was more fortunate
than Xer Mater ship, in that she suffer
ed no disastrous internal explosion,
while the Vizcaya was torn by tbe ex*
plosion of her own torpedoes. No vital
part of tbe Teresa was seriously hurt
by the shot and shell. She was first
to strike her colors and make for tbe
beach, but that was because of fire on
board rather than damage to bull or
machinery from the shots of the Amer
icans. The armor is said to be practi
cally uninjured, and tbe hull is in
good shape except for a hole in the
bottom, pounded through by the rock
on which she was beached.
According to the American rule of
classification, Lieut. Hobson rates the
Teresa as a battleship of tbe second
class, tbe class of the Texas and the
destroyed Maine. She is of 7,000 tons
displacement, or nearly 700 tons heav
ier than the Texas. She is 340 feet
long by 65 feet beam, or nearly size of
the great New York, and her speed
was about 19 knots under forced
draught. Her bull is of mild steel,
and she is protected by an armor belt
twelve inches thick and five feet wide
extending ever nearly her whole
length at the water line. The tjecke
are armored, and curve below tbe wa
ter line, both forward and aft. She
mounted two 11-inch modern breech
loading rifles in her turrets and ten 5 5
inch rapid fire rifles on the broadsides
besides a number-of 6 pounders and
other small calibre rapid fire pieces.
She has a coal capacity of 1,050 tons,
and a steaming radius of 9,700 miles
without recoaling. At the time of the
battle she was almost a new vessel,
having been launched in 1890 at Bil*
boa, where she was built by an Anglo-
Spanish firm after tbe most modern
plans for high class cruisers.
It is said in Washington that tbe
majority of sentiment seems to be in
favor of entering the ship into our na
val lists under her original name. It
is to be hoped that opinion will gov
ern. No other name that could be se
lected for her would mean so much to
tbe American people. As the Infanta
Maria Teresa, she would be not only a
valuable addition to our navy, but a
perpetual reminder of tbe prowess of
the American ships and gunners off
Santiago on July 3, 1898—Savannah
News.
A Narrow Escape.
Thankful words written by Mrs.
Ada E. Hart, of Groton, 8. D. “Was
taken with a bad cold which settled on
my lungs; cough set in and finally
terminated in Consumption. Four
Doctors gave me up, saying I could
live but a short time. I gave myself
up to my Savior, determined if I could
not stay with my friends on earth, I
would meet my absent ones above. My
husband was advised to get Dr. King’s
New Discovery for Consumption,
Coughs and Colds. I gave it a trial,
took in all eight bottles. It has cured
me, and thank God I am saved and
now a well find healthy woman.” Trial

Pitt’s Carminative is pleasant to the
taste, acts promptly, and never fails to
give satisfaction. It carries children over
the critical time of teething, and is the
friend of anxious mothers and puny
children. A few doses will demonstrate
its value. E. H. Dorsey, Athens, Ga.,
writes: “I consider it the best medicine I
have ever used In my family. It does all
you claim for it, and even more."

A Dead Letter Law-
In chapter iv, pages 448 and 449,
[ sections 1636 and 1638 of the code of
( Georgia, there is a law that is not en
forced in many counties and is said to
be practically dead.
These sections state that in every
’ county the ordinary shall be supplied
with standard weights and measures
by the stale and that all persons Cell
ing goods in saiddcounty shall be com
pelled to take their weights and meas*
' urea to tbe ordinary and have them
J teated and bis seal put upon them.
If anybody has been selling goods
that were not weighed by these meas
ures and a complaint was made they
1 would be presented to the grand jury
' for violation of the law.
f . Tbe law also goes on to state that if
a bill is made against any person for
goods bought which were not meas*
1 ured with tbe ordinary’s mark the
’ person is compelled to pay only three*
E fourths of tbe bill, and before 1893 be
was not compelled to pay any of tbe
' bill.
