Coin miss loner and Attorney Gen
eral lor the Purpose of Getting
Actively Into the Fight—Mr. dnlllg
non Is Not Idle and Is Said to Hare
Been Conferring With His Friends
in South Georgia.
Atlanta, March 12.—Hon. J. Popo
Prown, Railroad Commissioner, is square
ly In the race for Governor of Georgia In
liW2. There Is no longer any doubt as
to Mr. Brown’s intentions.
The Constitution will say to-morrow
that it has It upon the best authority that
Mr. Brown is not only now in the race,
but that he is making a quiet canvass
of the state in his own interest as a can
didate for the governorship.
Mr. Brown has been in frequent consul
tations with his friends during the last
month or two and has at last reached a
definite decision. To several of these
friends lie has stated that he has posi
tively decided to enter the race, that he
was going to work upon a canvass of
the state, and that though it was too
early now,to ipake his formal announce
ment he would do so at the proper time.
His announcement, therefore, will prob
ably be forthcoming shortly.
The question as to Just what course he
should pursue has given Mr. Brown no
1 ttlo thought for several weeks past, and
as he put it in talking with several of
his friends “I feel as if it were now or
never.”
That being Mr. Brown's feeling with
regard to the matter, and it being his
ambition to become Governor of the
state, other things being equal, it is not
unnatural that he should have decided as
he has done—to enter the race.
Air. Brown's friends have frequently In
this connection referred to the fact that
from a financial point of view at least,
lie is better situated as a railroad commis
sioner, which pays a salary of $2,500 a
year for six years, than he would be in
the Governor’s office, should he succeed
in getting there. But Mr. Brow'n does not
look at the matter from that point of
view. He has made it clear to his friends
that it is his ambition to be Governor of
the state and that he does not consider
the question from the financial standpoint.
Having entered the race, as he unques
tionably has, it is more than likely that
Mr. Brown will at an early date tender
ills resignation as a member of the Rail
road Commission. Indeed this has already
been rumored, but Air. Brown has not
yet given any intimation as to when he
will take this step. It will probably be
when he makes formal announcement of
his candidacy.
It is reported around the capitol that
Attorney General J. M. Terrell will soon
resign that opsltion for the purpose of
entering actively into the canvass for the
governorship. It has been settled for some
time that Mr. Terrell would be a candi
date for Governor. What work he has
already done in his own interest in this
connection has been of a quiet and purely
personal nature, but his friends are well
informed as to his attitude, and they
know that he Is going to make the race.
Not desiring to begin an active canvass
for Governor while he is still attorney
genera!, Air. Terrell’s friends say that in
a short lime he will resign the office be
now holds for the purpose of taking the
field.
It is not definitely known just when
Air. Terrell will take this step, but it is
expected he will do so Just prior to or
about the time of making formal an
nounce of his candidacy. Air. Terrell’s
designation, when it comes, will create a
demand for the office of attorney general,
and it may be that the appointment that
follows will have an Interesting bearing
upon the fight for office in 19(12.
Hon. Fleming dußignon, whose candi
dacy for the governorship is now a settled
fact, has by no means been inactive of
late. Reports have reached Atlanta that
he has been busily engaged In conferences
with his friends in South Georgia, and
they are rallying to his support thus early
in the campaign.

Diaetm.r* Hi. Present Situation in
Cuba—Change in Feeling Dae
to Platt Amendment.
Havana, March 12.—LaLucha publishes
to-day a part of a letter which Gen.
Maximo Gomez recently wrote to a
fiiend in San 'Domingo. Speaking of the
present situation, in Cuba, Gen. Gomez
said:
‘‘Matters here have a serious aspect.
This change in the people who have be
gun to feel content with the Americans, is
due to the Platt amendment. That ill
advised proceeding has wounded the sen
timent of Cubans, who feel the mild dis
gust which such unreasonable behavior
always produces.
"This demand, thrown as a challenge in
the face of Cuba by a powerful nation,
will cause deep moral perturbations.
People wonder how the United
States, which are the exponents
of liberty, can deny our right to defend
the principle of liberty. Was our fight
the result of hatred of Spain or of love
of liberty? The United States are too
rich a power to ask of Cuba these crumbs
of concession. The Americans should
know that, as a star of greater magni
tude, the United States will exercise a
proportional influence on all of 'the na
tions of the great family of American re
publics.”
In order to remove all doubts from the
minds of the members of the constitu
tional convention as to the power of the
convention to draw up a scheme of rela
tions that would bind the future repub
lic, Gen. Wood sent a communication to
the convention, pointing out that the war
rant calling the elections gave the dele
gates this power.
No meeting of the Committee on Re
lations was held to-day. Individual mem
bers say the committee will not report
until the question has been thoroughly
discussed.
Gen. Wood has called upon the muni
cipal council of Havana to forward to
him for examination, the annual budget,
which shows a large increase over last
year's estimates. Pending the investiga
tion Gen. Wood has suspended the pas
sage of the budget.

SELECTION OF SOILS.
Importance of Specialisation Bis
caused by Expert Whitney Be
fore Industrial Commission.
'Washington, Alarch 12. —Alilton Whit
ney, chief of the bureau of soils of the
Department of Agriculture, testified be
fore the Industrial Commission to-day re
garding the importance of specializa
tion in the selection of soils in farming.
He gave many instances to show how
such specialization had had the effect of
reclaiming lands which otherwise would
have been entirely useless. He men
tioned especially the pineapple lands of
Florida, the peach lands of Western
Maryland and the tobacco lands of the
Connecticut valley. He also detailed the
experiments of the Agricultural Depart
ment in Sumatra tobacco under canvas in
Connecticut, and expressed the opinion
that the experiment would prove a perma
nent success.

Dr. De Ilnylr of Nicaragua Ri.t-u.Mr.
the Work of Sanitation Accom
plished by the American* at Ha
vuna and Describes the Yellow
Fever Experiments—No Longer a
Matter of Theory That n Certain
Class of Mosquitors Do Convey the
Infection. While Others Da Not.
Washlngtoti, March 12.—Dr. Louis H.
Deßayle, the delegate of Nicaragua and
teveral other Ceutral American countries
at the recent Cuban medical congress, is
in Washington as the guest of the Nica
raguan minister, Senor Corea. Dr. De-
Bayle is the ron-in-law of ex-President
Sarasa of Nicaragua, lie says the medi
cal delegates recently assembled in Cuba
were impressed by the remarkable sani
tary improvements going on through the
enterprise of the Americans, and partic
ularly by the scientific experiments being
conducted to learn the cause and to check
the progress of yellow fever.
"The experiments on yellow fever are
being conducted Just outside of Havana,”
said he, “under conditions which make
most exact results attainable. Certain
apartments are filled with yellow fever
filth of ail kinds, with a degree of tem
perature and an amount of moisture ex
actly similar to the conditions which breed
yellow fever. Here animals, and in some
cases medical men, expose themselves,
with a view to determining Just how far
contagion and infection can bo spread
under the worst possible conditions. In
other apartments the best sanitary condi
tions prevail, except In the presence of
mosquitoes, confined in jars, and allowed
to circulate through the room when an
experiment is being made. It has been
demonstrated beyond a doubt that these
mosquitoes, when once innoculated with
the yeiiow fever, communicate it by their
bite, the disease developing in from two
to three days. In another rooom there Is
another class of mosquitoes, which by
actual experiment have failed to convey
the disease.
Doe* Not Come From Filth.
"In the rooms where yellow fever filth
is located, individuals have lived for from
thirty to fifty days, showing that there
is no danger from this cause. Aa a result
it these American experiments the dele
gatee to the Congress were of opinion
that tlie ascertainment of the cause of
yellow fever had gone beyond the experi
mental stage, and that it was now an ac
cepted medical fact that a particular class
of mosquitoes conveyed the disease. 1
will so report to the governments which
I represented. I do not mean to say
that this is absolutely the only way of
communicating the disease, -but it is cer
tainly proved that it is the most effi
cient cause of the spread of the dis
ease in yellow- fever localities. Such
a conclusion is not only of importance to
Cuba, but to all countries similarly af
fected, as well as to the United States
and other adjacent territory likely to be
invaded by such a plague. Already the
American administration has established
this valuable scientific fact and has reap
ed great practical benefit from it. There
are now not more than four or five cases
of yellow fever in Havana, and at times
the number is as low as two cases, which
is an exceptionally good showing.
Good Work of Americans.
"The Americans are tp be congratulated
also on the excellent sanitary conditions
throughout Havana. Modern sanitation
has been carried Into every house, per
fect methods of plumbing taking the place
of defective and dangerous old systems.
The streets are kept scrupulously clean,
garbage is systematically removed, and
not only the public, but ail private lo
calities are kept in the best sanitary con
dition. This alone speaks much for the
beneficial Influences which the Americans
have exerted.
"As to political conditions. I found the
Cubans having a natural aspiration for
self-government, although they are qupe
willing to concede guarantees to the Unit
ed States which will prevent foreign ag
gression. With these views prevailing
there seems to be little but detail to ar
range to afford Cuba a free government,
and at the same time give Just security
to the United States.”
