THE MORNING CALL. Vol. X. No. 163. JERRY RHODES ARRESTED. He 11 Charged With the Murder of Bud Dickinson. Jerry Rhodes, a white man living near Rover, was arrested yesterday for the murder of Bud Dickinson, colored. Dickinson was found dead in his home near Rover on the 9-h of Jan uary, and Percy Campbell was arrest ed a few days later as the murderer. Rhodes waa the principal witness against Campbell, and he was to have been tried before Judge Reagan last Tuesday, but the case was nol proesed, M there was no evidence against Campbell. Yesterday the officers came in pos session of certain information that warranted the arrest of Rhodes for the crime which he attempted to fasten upon the negro Campbell, and he was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Freeman. Governor Candler has offered a re ward of SIOO for the arrest of the un known murderer, with evidence sufficient te convict, and if the officers have the guilty man it will prove a good day’s work. PORTO RICANB DISSATISFIED. Col Hubbell Says They Planned a Massacre. Col Hubbell, who returned with his command, the Forty-seventh Regi ment, from garrisen duty in Porto Rico on the transport Manitoba yes terday, and was given an enthusiastic reception in Brooklyn, gave me some interesting information last night about (be condition of affairs in our new West Indian possession “There >re many persons,” be said, “who think we were welcomed in Porto Rico and sent away amid a shower of bouquets. This was not the case. The Porto Ricans do not like Americans. They want, and are planning for their freedom. "We had more or less trouble all the time with these natives, but their hos tility was more openly displayed when it was learned that we were going to leave. All the while we were subjected to petty annoyances. A number of attempts were made to knife our sen* tries. The natives are treacherous, and we had to use severe measures at times. "Thare was at no time an open in surrection, but I discovered three weeks ago, evidence that a so-called educational society was strong and bitter in its antagonism. It held meetings which we dispersed. We discovered and nipped in the bud a conspiracy which had for its object an entrance into our barracks and a wholesale macheting of the soldiers “Unless there is a great change I am convinced that sooner or later there will be serious trouble down there. I should, however, qualify their feelings by saying that they hate Americans, not for their personality, but because they want to be free. The feeling in the interior of the island is more in tense than along the coast. The Spaniards are not responsible for it, because they are migrating. The peo ple there do not like their old ene mies.” Col. Hubbell says the native Porto Ricans are more than poverty strick en. The planters, he says, have large stocks of sugar and tobacco on hand, with no markets. •‘ln fact,” he said, ‘‘l know that there is at least 28,000,000 pounds of sugar and thousands of pounds of to** bacco to be sold. The taxes there are too high, and they are waiting for this country to change the tariff. With no market for products, the wealthy plan ters have to close down and thus the natives are thrown out of employ ment.’'—New York Herald March 12 Spreads Like Wildfire.

The American loss was slight. The Americans captured 350 Filipinos Many bodies of rebels killed in the engagement are floating down the river. Private Fornoff, of company L, Twentieth regiment, was killed ; Pri* vate Newman, company F, Twentieth regiment, wounded ; Private Marshall, company B,Twenty-second regiment, is wounded; Private Coombs, compa ny C, Twenty-second regiment, is wounded ; Private Rogers, company L, Twenty-second regiment, is wound ed. About 350 Filipinos surrended at the town of Taguig to the Washing ton regiment and 175 Filipinos were captured at Pasig by the Twentieth regiment. Our troops found 106 dead Filipinos and 100 new graves near Pasig. The prisoners were unarmed and, therefore, it is presumed they executed their threat of throwing their arms into the river.

Dioeley’s Funeral Bill. i The amount of Congressman Ding- < ley’s funeral bill was $4,500 Some of ( the newspapers have expressed sur- ( prise at such extravagance by a cor.- | gressional committee. In the first t piace there was a special train, and then (here was a fine stock of liquors ( and cigars. The Portland undertaker ( demanded SSOO for bis services, not ( because they were worth so much probably as because he saw a chance ( to make a big profit out of the funeral. . No doubt everybody who was given a | chance to make a bill took care to t charge a great deal more than if the ( funeral had been an ordinary one. Is it not about time congress was ( called down in the matter of congres sional funerals? Let the cost of con- . gressional funerals be made an issue in a congressional campaign, and if we are not very much mistaken some of those who are responsible for big ( bills for funeral junkets will be left at home. The evtravagance of Congress is ap- ( parently increasing more rapidly than ( the wraith of the country. Owing to some txtent to this extravagance, the ( interest bearing public debt has in- | creased in the last six years from . $585,000,000 to $1,026,000,000. There are very few Congressmen who ever think of economy in public expenditures. Their idea seems to be that as the government pays the bills, it doesn’t make any difference bow great the extravagance is which is in dulged in. The people ought to give their representatives a few lessons in economy by turning down the party which is responsible for appropriations for which there is no justification.— Savannah News.

DON’T FAIL TO HEAR THE BAT TLE OF MANILA AND OTHER POPULAR PIECES J. H. HUFF, 24 HILL STREET. GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH 16, 1899. BROOKE 18 READY TO ACT. It ii Expected That He Will Socn Disperse Cuban Assembly Washinton, March 15—The gov ernment expects to hear at any time from Gen. Brooke that lie has dis persed the sc-called Cuban assembly. An exchange of telegrams today be tween the war department and Gen. Brooks resulted in an understanding that no further attempts by the as sembly to disturb the existing condi tions be tolerated. Gen. Brooke said he expected to dissolve the body. The dissatisfaction of the administration with the assembly has been growing for several weeks. Its action in de posing Gen. Gonnz and in refusing to sanction the payment of the army and its expressed intention to defy American authority has angered the officials The opinion is that Ger. Brooke will prevent further sittings of the body, but he may wait to see if they persist in a defiant course. At any rate, he will not recognize the assem bly as representative, but will treat it as he would any other disturbing ele ment. Gen. Brooke has the c<-operation of Gen. Gomez, who, when the assem bly is dispersed, will be recognized as the representative of the Cuban army. The assembly was not elected by the Cuban people, but by army liberations. Its present, attitude is due to the fact that President McKinley ignored it by treating with Gen Gomez directly. A dispatch received from Havana today says: Committees from Matan zas, Cardenas, Cineluegos and Pinar de) Rio hav%arrived to join in a great demonstration in honor of Gen. Gomez tomorrow. The assembly, supported by Gen. Rudrigutz and a part of the army, has ordered the arrest of Colonel Acea, for taking part in yesterday’s demonstration. Colonel Acea will appeal to General Brocke for protecs tion. The assembly still maintains sn abusive attitude, threatening to rebel if the American government does not entrust it with the distribution of the three millions and refuses a guarantee of sixteen million more. At a meeting today, a commission consisting of Villalou, Hevia and Des paigue was appointed to go to Wash ingtou and ask President McKinley to guarantee the loan. Some of the hot blooded members want to establish a republic by force of arms. A manifesto was approved today and will be issued tomorrow. It is chiefly devoted to insulting Gen,Gomez and threatens the peace of the country- At a secret meeting of the assembly tonight an attempt was made to raise funds to send commissioners to Wash ington The Great Men of Wall Street- There is one place in this country where the President is not regarded as the great man of the nation. It is Wall street. In that great money center the President would not attract any great amount of attention. Speak er Reed visits the street once in a while and very few who know him by sight turn to give him a second glance. There are ex-members of the cabinet there, and Governors and ex-Govern ors and senators and ex-senators are among the hurrying throng, but their presence is unnoticed by the busy men who do business there. But let J. Pierpont Morgan or Ros well P. Flower show himself there and the fact is known almost instantly in every banking house and every brokers office. What these men say on finan cial matters is given . a significance often far greater than it deserves. They are the great men of the great est money center of the New World, and soon to be the greatest in ail the world. A few words from Mr. Morgan on any question relat ng to stocks is regarded of far more importance than the utterances of the Secretary and Treasury or of the President on any subject What the kings and potent* ates of Europe have to eay to the world is not half so interesting to the brokers and bankers of Wall street as what Mr. Morgan or Mr. Flower has to say about the financial eituation. Money is the world power and these twomen sit upon the highest facing bench among the money kings. It is not to be wondered at therefore that when they speak Wail street listens.— Savannah News. .uu -.1 • nix- ’ ii.a.- - weaM w-tu ji.v; g, ' puze. boc.ii AUdiiiggisU RoVal Baking Powder Made from pure cream of tartar.

The hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark, puffy circles under die eyes, the sallow, parsnip-colored complexion indicates it. A physician would ask if you had rheu matism, a dull pain or ache in the back or over the hips, stomach trouble, desire to urinate often, or a burning or scalding in passing it; if after passing there is an un satisfied feeling as if it must be at once re peated, or if the urine has a brick dust de posit or strong odor. When these symptoms are present, no timesboald be lost in removing the cause. Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the bladder, inflammation, causing stoppage, and sometimes requiring the drawing of the urine with instruments, or may ru» into Bright's Disease, the most dangerous stage of kidney trouble. Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Boot, the great discovery of the eminent kidney and blad der specialist, is a positive remedy for such diseases. Its reputation is world wide and it is so easy to get at any drug store that no one need suffer any length of time for want of it. .
