WHOLESALE DESERTION
Over One Hundred Men Determined
to Quit the Third.
There was considerable excitement
in camp yesterday over the large num
ber of soldiers who had recently taken
"French leave,” and the report that
one hundred and fifty had agreed' to
desert before leaving for Cuba.
About 11 o’clock in the morning
Lieutenant Colonel Spence sent
nearly an entire company in the city
i as a provoat guard, a guard waa
stationed on every road leading from
the city.
Sergeant squads were tent out all
* over the Stale, while every place be
tween Atlanta and Maccn bad an
•fi • • ■
armed soldier to inspect the passporta
of each so dier on the trains, and stop
all without furloughs
Lieut. Col. Spence requested Mr.
Williams, the ticket agent at thia city,
to sell no man, in soldiers’ uniform, a
1 ticket, unless the purchaser produced
a furlough signed by the commander
of camp.
Two hundred and fifty guards were
ou duty all day yesterday, while new
squads were being detailed and sent
off on every out going train-
The men seemed determined to take
‘ "French leave,” regardless of the pre
caution taken in camp, aa several of
the provost guard were missing before
’ dark.
1 Some complaining has been beard
throughout camps by the men since
* the order came to prepare to go to
I Cuba, but it was not of each violence
aa to cause suspicion.
It now seems the men were only
i waiting (o be paid off when they
would make the final effort to free
I themselves of the yoke they bore.
Tuesday was pay day and it aeema
they have been continually going out
, since receiving their money.
Every effort is being made to pre
vent thia desertion among the men
and those who have already taken
* French leave” may rest assured if
1 caught they will pay dear for their
rash act.

TO PROTECT THEIR INTERESTS
French Holders of Spanish Bonds De
mand Payment of United States-
Washington, Nov. 9.—The foreign
bondholders have at last moved for
mally to protect their interests in Cu
ba and Porto Rico. The initial . steps
, have been taken through the agency
of the French embassy, which in this
. ease acts no longer sc the represents
tive of the Spanish government, but
for French subjects.
, Through the embassy a moat for
midable statement has been presented
to the state department, being an ac-
I count of the various Spanish bonds
, owned by French citizens, chargeable
against the territories either seized or
) set free by the act of the United States
, government.
The total sum of these bonds run
up far infektbe millions. Just what is
expected Small be done with them is
not made clear. Os course the Uni
ted States will not pay them,
■' but it may be that the French gov*
eminent looks to it U) cause the inde
, pendent government of Cuba to as
sume liabilities for the redemption of
the bonds charged againsutbat island,
when that government shall have
, been duly installed by the act of the
. United States government.
! It is probable that other holders of
, like bonds, Germany and British, will
take similar steps to have their claims
] brought through their diplomatic rep
} resentativee to the attention of the
> United States government, and it may
i even be that the holders of each bonds
in Spain, though Spanish citizens,
r will take a like couree, which would
, present a novel claim upon the gener
) oeity of the United States government.
An Important Difference.
1 To make it apparent to thousands, who
’ think themselves ill, that they are not af
flicted with any disease, but that the sys
• tern simply needs cleansing, is to bring
i comfort home to their hearts, as a costive
i condition is easily cured by using Syrup
f of Figs. Manufactured by the California
r Fig Syrup Company only, and sold by all
druggists.
The King of Usurers-
Some remarkable details of the ca
reer of Ferdinand Linke, the “Kiug of
the Usurers,” who recently died in
Vienna, are given in the London
f Morning Leader from its correspond
ent in Austrian capital. Linke came
’ to Vienna from the ghetto of a provin
cial town in Gaiicia in the early sixties
and began a money lending business
on a small scale. His loans were stnall,
but the rate of interest he charged was
enormous, and he soon began to accu
mulate capital. In the early part of
1 his career he was content with from
* 60 to 80 or 100 per cent, interest, but
’ as be grew older in rascality he extort
-1 ed as much as 400 or 500 per cent.
’ from bis foolish victims. By these
means be became a millionaire, Linke
* underwent eeveral terms of imprison
ment for usury, but the greed of gold
* always drove him back to bis illegal
traffic in money.
1 He lived alone, guarded by a num
ber of savage bloodhounds. His doors
r and windows were barred and bolted,
1 and his illgotten gains bid in different
parts of his bouse. Linke’s will has
» been made public. He has left all his
wealth to hie only daughter, whom be
* so neglected during his lifetime that
* she was obliged to undertake menial
3 work for 3 shillings a week. Linke,
however, with the instinct of a miser
I attached the very cbaracterietic con
. dition to the acceptance of bis mag
, nificent legacy that not a farthing of
r it should at any time be applied to
any charitable purpose.
