CUBAIS UZS MIBBAGI- Enthusiastic Rocaption Will be Ac corded American Troops Havana, Dao. 7 —The Cabans have been favorably impressed with ex tract from McKinley** message pub lished here, being convinced that the scheme for the independence of the island will be carried out. Entbusl astio reception will be accorded the American troops and a banquet is be iog prepared for the officers. Gen. Snyder, with 700 American troops, landed at Casilda yesterday. The Spaniards and Cubans continue to clash. Yesterday a Cnb*n child, who was singing a Cuban bymo, was beaten to death at Genioa street by a Spaniard. .Some persons interfered, and Capt Hall, an American officer, arrested tbe Spaniard and delivered him to the police. The Spaniard waa discharged yesterday evening by Dis* trict Judge Helen. Tbe report spread that the judge bad been bribed, and a crowd of Cubana gathered at Gsnios street to lynch the Spaniard. The police saved him after a long struggle. Some officer* joined the soldiersand a fight ensued Two or three persons wore hurt. The chief of police com* polled tbe Spaniards to withdraw. The peaceful citizens, including many Spaniards who hold property, are alarmed at the situation. Gen. Blau co left without disarming tbe volun* tears and hja successor, Captain Gen eral Castellanos, apparently wishes to do tbe same. Tbe colonels of the vol unteers called on Captain General Castellanos on Thursday night to tell him that the volunteers do not want to expose themselves to the shame of being disarmed by the Americans, Gen. Castellanos answered that they would have to address him a petition signed by tbe colonels asking to be disarmed. The Modern Mother Has found that her little ones are improv ed more by the pleasant Syrup of Figs, when in need of the laxative effect of a gentle remedy than by any other, and that it ia more acceptable to them, Children enjoy it and it benefits them. The true remedy, Syrup of Figs, is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Company only. Crippling The State Militia. The Albany Herald says the action of the present legislature in cutting off the military appropriation can have but one effect. It means, the complete demoralization and practical "disintegration of the State militia. At the very time when the troops most need the encouragement, sup*, port and fostering care of the State government they have been pushed out into the cold, so to speak, and told to shift for themselves. The Georgia militia, we believe, has some pride and realize that the State owes it something, and if tbe indifference of the State Legislature does not disrupt tbe militia past all future recovery, we will be very badly fooled. The Geor gia militia, through the very fact of its existence, has done more to keep down rioting race troubles and mob vi olence throughout tbe State than any representative element of law and or der in it, and when the military com panies and regiments shall no longer be at the back and call of the State officials at critical times, the proba bilities are that they will be more sad ly missed than any words can now suggest. “Tie true,’tie pity, and pity ’tie ’tie true.” A Tine Entertainment- The literary people of Griffin will have the rare opportunity of hearing tbe talented Joe Henry Eagle, of Tex as, in bis celebrated lecture, ‘‘Henry W.

S.Biak*, The Treaty and the Senate- Representative Letter, just before starting fur Washington, said that it was by no means certain that the peace treaty wonld ba ratified It ia not going io be an easy matter to get two thirds of the senators to vote for tbe treaty Still, it is probable that the treaty will be ratified Tbe House, of course, has nothing to do with the ratification of it, but it will have some thing to do with appropriating tbe $20,000,000 which we are to give Spain for relinquishing her sovereignty io the Philippines. No doubt there will be strong opposition to paying that or any other amount of money tu Spain. The arguments which will be brought to bear in favor of ratifying the treaty and carrying out all of its provisions are of a character that will most likely prevail with Congress. The treaty will not be ratified and the necessary appropriation of money made without a long and perhaps warm debate. There is a wide difference of opinion as to the wisdom of taking possession of the Philippines, and there is very pronounced opposition to paying any thing for. them. It will be argued, however, that to reject the treaty would be to invite very serious truub'e—trouble that might cost several times tbe amount which we are to pay Spain. There would not, of course, be any danger of further war with Spain, because Spain is not in a condition to engage in war with us, but a refusal to ratify tbe treaty would cause distrust in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines. Our purpose to establish stable government :in these islands would give the dis contented portion of their populations opportunities for stirring up discontent from which outbreaks of violence might occur. To restore order might be a very costly undertaking. There fore it is probable that after tbe treaty has been fully discussed it will be rat* ified.—Savannah News. Beata the Klondike. Mr. A. C. Thomas, of Marysville, Tex , has found a more valuable dis covery than has yet been made in the Klondike.

SBOO,OOO For Schools- Tbe amount of tbe appropriation for public schools in the state will be SBOO,OOO for each of the years 1899 1900. That sum was decided upon by tbe committee of tbe whole house yester day, after one of the warmest debates ever occurring at the capitol. It seemed apparent Tuesday that the house would not agree to the cut of $400,000 in the fund recommended by the committee on appropriations. Tbe debate in tbe morning was limited to 11 o’clock, and at that hour tbe voting began on al) the various propositions submitted. Tbe $1,000,- 000 proposition and all the others were defeated, except tbe one for SBOO,OOO, submitted on Tuesday by Mr. Adams, of Putnam. Shipping Cattle West. A party of men from Colorado and Nebraska have been here for the past few days scouring the country in search of cattle to ship to the West, where they will be fattened, sent to Chicago and returned here in cans, or as Western meat later on. It is said that this shipment comes very near draining the supply of cattle in this section of the state. A gentleman who went from here to Hawkinsville through the country looking for cattle said last week that very few were left in that section of the country. Tbe price of cattle has gone way up and beef will probably advance in price before long. Scutb Georgia could be come rich almost off of cattle if there were as many in this section as there ought to be at this time. Cattle rais ing promises to be a very profitable industry in this country and more at* tention should be paid to it —Valdosta Times.
