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. 1100 lieward. 1100.

Sgaatim 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 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. * THE EKEUBTCE OF SWEP OF FIB is due not only to the originality and simplicity of the combination, but also to the care and skill with which it is manufactured by scientific processes known to the Caxifornia Fig Sybup Co. only, and we wish to impress upon all the importance of purchasing the true and original remedy.
