IT MAY BE BROWN HIS CANDIDACY FOR GOVERNOR A SETTLED FACT. DU BIGNON AND TERRELL TOO WILL BE A WARM CAMPAIGN IN GEORGIA SOON. Believed Tliat Mc*n, Brown and Terrell Will Shortly Resign Their Respective Positions ns llailrnud 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.

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. SCHLEY ORDERED HOME. w ill Be Placed on Shore Duty-Crom well to Command In Month At lantic. Washington.

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.” APPROVE GEL CHAFFEE’S COURSE.
