WAR 01 AMERICA
Cuban* Will Fiehtlf They Are Mot
Given independence-
HayaXa, October C—There are
ominous cloud* on the horizon that
indicate early trouble with the Cuban*
who are now openly proclaiming their
I readiness to fight to the hat drop of
blood for absolute independence.
Prominent chief* in the insurgent
army have indicated their intention
as soon a* the forthcoming election*
are over to come to Havana and work
strenuously in behalf of independence.
In this oity they are supported by the
laboring ciacses, or pacigcos not .iden
tified with the last uprising, three'
, fifths of whom it may be safely esti
mated, profess their intention of join
ing the insurgents’ forces in the strug*
gle for independence and to fight the
Americans if the latter in any way
oppose absolute freedom for the island.
Six hundred men, machinists, black
smiths, skilled workmen and laborers,
have gone on strike at the Havana ar
senal, refusing to work Unless they are
paid five months’ arrears of wages
The strike began on Monday and no
settlement has yet beenjmade
The Spanish cruiser Conde de Ven
a dito, the gunboat Galicia and torpe
do boat Neuva Espana are on stocks
at the navy yards undergoing elabor*
ate repairs, preparatory to their trip
to Spain. The arsenal strike is liable
to delay the evacuation so far a* the
, navy is concered unless the difference
is soon settled, as the vessels in their
present condition are quite unequal to
a sea voyage st this time of year.

COTTOM SBOWZBS’ MEETING
' * di -
t Will Be Held Seme Time In Decern
bet*'ln Mew Orleans.
Some time ip December the Cotton
Growers’ Uoion will have a general
meeting in Naw Orleans, according to
present plane, which will be the most
important gathering of cotton grower*
held in the south for several year*.
Th* Cotto* Grower*’ Union was or
ganized in Memphis recently to sue
c*ed the National Cotton Growers*
Protective Association. The union
was organized alone different lines,
one of the principal features being
that there wiR be sub-organization*
ail over the south. In some sections
the mdvement to organise has already
been started. Recently South -Caro
lina farmers held a meeting and orga
nized for their state The meeting
was largely attended and much inter
est was manifested in the new organi
zation. The existence of yellow fever
in Mississippi and Louisiana has to
some extent retarded the work of or
ganizing in those states, and also in
Alabama,, though there is no fever io
that slate As soon as the quarantines
are done away with the cotton grow
ers will become active, and by the
time of the proposed meeting in New
Orleans it is thought there will be
perfect organizations in Mississippi,
Louisiana, Texas, Alabama as well as
Tennessee.
The New Orleans meeting has not
been definitely decided tipon as yet,
though It is practically assured. The
foundered the Cotten Growers’ Un
ion hope to make it the largest meet
ing of cotton growers ever held. The
Cotton Growers’Union was the out
come of the Memphis meeting, which
was attended only by a few of the
members of the organization, those in
attendance being vice presidents most
ly. They believe that a Southern
farm oiganization could be formed
that would prove of great benefit to
the individual farmer, and the plan is
to get as many little and big planters
in the sob-organization as is possible.
To* New Orleans meeting will, Uke
up the general plans of ’the Cotton
Glowers’ Union. No definite plans
have beetfmade for the meeting yet,
as it has not been formally called.
Consolidated Returns.
The managers at the different pre
cincts for the election held Wedness
day, met in the court house at noon
yesterday and consolidated the vote
There were only 454 votes polled in
the entire county, and of that number
the democratic nominees received 439,
while the populist candidates received
only 15, which well makes Spalding
the ba., uer Democratic county of the
State, ’ ,
In Line Creek, Cabins, Akin, Africa
and Mt. Zion districts there was not a
single populist ticket voted.
The three amendments of the con
stitution were carried by a vote of 377
to 55.

it cost a hundred dollars a bottle.

Castle.
New YoBX, Oct. 6—A special cable
to tbe Herald from Havana say*:
Though it is a hazardous venture to
make prediction* in the face of Span •
ish procrastination, it may be predict
ed that th* American flag will b* fly
ing over Morro and Cabana* within
(fare* weeks
There are *eyeral reasons why lb*

tion begin a* soon a* possible.
I They believe th* preseno* of lb*
Aln eric an force* and war ships the
best kind of diplomacy to hasten uego
Nations with th* Spanish commission.
2. The presence of our men would
lend to crowd th* Spaniard* out.
3 Immediate action would facilitate
the distribution of relief supplies and
prevent tbe aggravation attending
evacuation between armed and hungry
Cubans, who cannot be freed from
camp life until the Spanish soldiers
disappear or there are sufficient Amer
icans present to control them and
guaranis* Coban safely.
4 It would enable reconcentrado*
strong enough to work, but now pre
vented from doing so, to find self sus
taining employment, while making
possible the distribution of proper food
among tbo*« still dying in large num
bers, the deaths being fewer than in
.Gen. Weyler’s time, simply because
there are fewer left to die.
' 5. While all is quiet and absolute
Sourity reigns, General Blanco’s con
m pitted withdrawal introduces a
factor of uncertainty. While he re
mains Americans are safe, because he
has tbe power which will make them
' • <■. - '
Tbe plan is on the arrival of the
first American troops here to take
possession of Morro and Cabana*
simultaneously and hoist tbe Ameri
can flag over both. This is advised a*
making a prominent display of Amer
ican sovereignty and also giving poa
session of the harbor entrance, thus
obviating any possible «übmari*e
treachery against war ships.
As soon as possible thereafter the
American* are to take control of the
custom bouse and collect revenues,
preserving Spanish rates till sufficient
warning of the change has been given
to importers and merchants.
Then gradually American control is
to be extended until it includes the
whole municipal and provincial ad
ministration. »
Mr. H. A. Pass, Bowman, Ga., writes:
“One of my children was very delicate and
we despaired of raising it. For months
my wife and I could hardly get a night’s
rest until we began the use of Pitts’ Car
minative. We found great relief from the
first bottle.” Pitts’ Carminative acts
promptly and cures permanently. It is
pleasant to the taste, and children take it
without coaxing. It is free from injurious
drugs and chemicals.

A Hitch in a Brilliant flehnte-
,An Omaha mao whose butine** is
id write a good deal, and not in th*
•hape of correspondence, would rather
take quinine than writ* letter*. Hi*
wife is a great letter writer, and wb*n
she goes away she insist* on receiving
a daily letter from her husband. If he
falls she comes hdme in short orl«,
and form time the atmosphere of th*
home is frigid, says the Omaha World
Jerald.
A short time ago the wife w*«t on a
visit to b*r parent*, and before leaving
gave her husband explicit instructions
to write every day. He promised to
do;**b and meant to keep th* promise.
He forgot the first day until too late,
so lie wired that he would write the
following day. That night he secured
th* service* of a stenographer and dic
tated a letter.
"Now I want you to us* that letter
asm model,” be said to the stenogra
pher, “and write twelve others, all
worded, but containing
abhut th* same thing. Dale each one
a day abend of the other, put each in
an-envelope properly addressed, and
attend to mailing for me. Here’s |5
fo/your trouble.”
Th* stenographer who was young
and inexperienced, agreed.
Thr** days later tbe busband receiv
ed a telegram reading: ” Will be home
.cm. first Iraiu. Meet ma.” Th* wife’s
name appeared at the bottom.
The husband was distressed, fearing
something bad happened. Time passed
slowly, but at last tbe triin arrived.
When hi* wife stepped from the train
be grasped her and asked :
“What’s the matter, my dear!”
Tbe wife said not a word, but walk
ed into the depot. Then she opened
her little grip and quietly banded her
busband a bunch of letters.
The stenographer bad followed in»
struction*, but had mailed all tbe let*
tera th* same day.
