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.

R, NUTT, T, C, 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. Beats the Klondike. Mr. A.

THZ STABS ABD STBITIS Will Soon Bo Floating Oyer Morro 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* commissioner* Wish to aee tbe occupa 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. C -A 8 *l* O H X A- ■ Bmti the Kind You Hare Always Bought Signature Piano Patent. A patent has been allowed to Dr. S. A.

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.
