One of the Sailor*—Write* 111*
Father of Dinner and I’ralne* Sir
Thoniaa, Who Told Sailor* to Do
‘•Any Darned Thins'’ They Want
ed to.
John Egense, a Savannah boy, with
300 other American sailors, was recent
ly a guest of Sir Thomas Lipton at a
dinner given to the crew of the United
States flagship Olympia at the Crystal
Palace, London.
Young Egense is a son of C. V.
Egense, the wagon driver at No. 3
fire station, and it was through a let
ter to his father that the news of the
London dinner reached Savannah.
The young man enclosed one of the
menu cards and an account which one
of the London papers gave the din
ner. The menu card is very attrac
tively gotten up, with the American
and British flags entwined at the top.
Young Egense, with the other sailors,
enjoyed the repast and cheered the
short speech which Sir Thomas made
them. He never had a better time in
his life, he wrote his father.
Guests Wore Flags.
The Savannah boy was Just 19 years
of age yesterday. He is messenger
boy for the captain of the Olympia.
Since leaving Savannah he has had
a fine time, he writes, and has seen
many interesting sights. At the din
ner each of the guests wore a small
American flag presented them by Sir
Thomas.
There were several prominent Eng
lishmen besides Sir Thomas, who spoke
to the sailors. All the speakers dwelt
upon the good feeling between this
country and England 'and every ref
erence to this sentiment was heartily
cheered.
Present* With Compliments.
Following is an account given by one
of the London papers of the dinner:
"Anglo-American good feeling was
further evidenced yesterday when Sil’
Thomas Lipton received as his guests
at the Crystal Palace the officers and
crew of the United States battleship
Olympia.
"Three hundred happy, boisterous
men were welcomed by their host with
a hearty handshake; and at the close
of the gathering each bore away treas
ured presents of a tobacco pouch filled
■with tobacco, a packet of cigarettes
and a silver-mounted pipe, inscribed,
with Sir Thomas Lipton’s compliments:
22.10.04.
The great event of the day of many
events was the luncheon in the res
taurant, when the American jack tars,
Under Lieutenant Commander Van-
Duzer—the other officers arriving later,
after lunching with the Fishmongers'
Company—found it impossible to re
strain their enthusiasm for their host.
From first to last the meal was punc
tuated with the cheers of the visitors.
Mt Behind the Guns.
“When following the loyal toast and
that of ‘The President,' Sir Thomas
Lipton gave ‘The United States Navy,
Coupled With the Name of the Men
Behind the Guns.’ Lieut. Commander
Van Duzer referred to Sir Thomas as
being an excellent sportsman, and said
the only reason they liked to see the
Shamrock beaten was that it insured
another visit from him—a statement
that was indorsed by the sailors with
tumultuous cheers.
’“The keynote of the whole proceed
ings was the amity existing, and like
ly to exist, between British and Amer
icans. and this was voiced not alone
by Sir Thomas Lipton, but by Sir
George Faudel Phillips, who, by the
way, was introduced to the delighted
sailors ‘as something of a sea-dog.’ Sir
Thomas invited his guests to take pos
session of the palace, and do 'any
diarned thing you like, and go where
you like and generally to paint the
place red.’
Upton Evening Up.
“The entertainment, he said, gave
him a little opportunity of getting even
to a small extent with America, where
so many kindnesses had been show
ered upon him. Americans were noth
ing if not generous, and he knew that
by the lickings they had given him.
That was ladled out in no stingy way,
and left him in no doubt as to how
he was getting on a remark which im
mensely tickled the sailors.
“But Sir Thomas has not yet given
in, and he expressed the hope that
when he next visited America with
Shamrock fourth—a voyage he trusted
would not be at a distant d*ate—they
would let him down gently. Conclud
ing amid cheer and cheer from 300 lusty
throats, the speaker said he felt sure
they would all join in the hopes that
the Stars and Stripes would ever be
entwined with the Union Jack in peace
ful harmony.

then did the round of the paface gaieties
—topsy-turvy railroad, the flying ma
chine, the special theatrical perform
ance and others—all being well nat
ron ized.

fact that the guilty should be pun
ished, but also because the public has
an interest in preventing the violation
of the laws.
"As counsel for the state has men
tioned, the case was called to the at
tention of the grand jury by the offi
cers of Fort Screven. At that time
these officers saw to it that certain
soldiers appeared before the grand jury
and furnished evidence sufficient to
warrant the returning of an indict
ment. When the case was assigned for
trial, before the present assignment
was made, these witnesses were not
present.
State Wm Powerlm*.
"The men on duty at the post are
under the control of the United States
government, and were stationed at a
place where the state is, to a certain
extent, subject to tlhe military authori
ties,
“There is no power, so far as this
court has been able to learn, by which
it can compel the presence of the sol
diers before it without the co-opera
tion of the government. If there had
been such power, the men would have
been brought here to testify,
"Because of their absence at the
time Phis case was first set for trial
the court took especial pains to have
subpoenaes sent to the men, together
with a request to the officers that they
have their soldiers here.
Question of Expense.
“A communication has been receiv
ed from the commandant of the post
to the effect that the state is the
prosecutor in this case and not the
government. He stated further that
the information of the violation of
the law had been given only to put
the facts in the possession of the prose
cuting officer of the state. Therefore
the government could not bear the
expense of sending the witnesses herb
and that transportation from Tybee to
Savannah would not be furnished by
the Fort Screven authorities, and that
the state must do so.
“Under the law the court cannot
furnish transportation for residents of
Chatham county from their homes to
the court. The attendance of a civil
ian can be compelled and had the
witnesses in this case been civilians
they would have been brought here by
officers of the court. This court has
absolutely no power, however, to com
pel the attendance of witnesses when
such witnesses are officers or soldiers
of the United States on duty at their
respective stations. Had there been,
they would have been here.
Every Courtesy Shown,
“Since this case went to trial the
commandant has been communicated
with and told of the necessity of hav
ing one of his officers and an enlisted
man present If a conviction was to be
secured.
“There was then sufficient time to
have taken a train for the city, but
the commandant has declined to al
low the men to leave the post. Not
withstanding this action, the court an
nounced its willingness to postpone the
case until to-morrow, though such ac
tion meant a heavy additional expense
to the county and drew greatly upon
the time of the jurors.
Remnrknhle Action of Officers.
"The position taken by the officers
at Fort Screven is a remarkable one.
This court has never known of a case
where there has been exhibited on the
part of the military such utter disre
gard of the civil authority, an author
ity to which it is more or less sub
servient in times of peace.
“In view of the statement of the
prosecuting officer, on whom this court
necessarily largely relies, to the effect
that a conviction has not yet been
made out, and ln view of the circum
stances narrated, the court feels that
it Is its duty to acquiesce ln his mo
tion. One of you gentlemen will please
sign a verdict of not guilty.”
Mr. I. A. Solomons stepped from his
place and wrote across the Indictment
“We, the Jury, find the defendant not
guilty.” This was read by Clerk Carr
and the prisoner was discharged.
An effort was made last night to se
cure some statement from Col. Ander
son, commandant at Fort Screven, but
without avail. At 7:30 he declined to
come to the telephone and when a sec
ond effort was made at 9 o’clock it
was announced that he had retired and
could not be disturbed to discuss the
matter. Subordinate officers declined
positively to discuss the case.

THE CONGRESS OF CUBA MET
AND SHOWED AN ABSENCE OF ROWS
Recommendations as to National Finance Made
by President Palma in His Message.
Havana, Nov. 7.—The winter ses
sion of Congress opened to-day promi
singly. In sharp contrast to the rows
and disinclination to legislate which
characterized the summer session, the
members of the minority occupied their
seats in full force.
Nationalist leaders have Informed
The Associated Press that it is not
their intention to pursue their former
obstructive tactics. There were less
than half a dozen absentees in each
house and the proceedings were charac
terized by friendliness.
In his message President Palma,
discussing the payment to veterans,
asked Congress to decide in what man
ner the remainder due should be rais
ed. The President called attention to
the fact that the Platt amendment
would not permit Cuba to incur debt
until the ordinary receipts of the
treasury were sufficient to pay off the
sinking fund and interest, adding that
ns the present resources above the
ordinary expenses are practically ab
sorbed by the first loan, Cuba cannot
create anew loan except through in
creasing taxes. The President sug
gested that the difficulty might be
obviated by ihe creation of a perpe
tual debt, bearing interest at 3 per
cent, per annum, which the govern

the means became available.
President Palma called attention to
Cuba’s responsibility under the Piatt
amendment for proper sanitation
throughout the island and stated that
the executive government must as
sume general charge of all sanitation
in order to secure uniform and effec
tive results. Consequently Congress
should appropriate sufficient money for
that purpose and authorize definite ex
ecutive control thereof.
The President reported that health
conditions were as satisfactory as last
year. The mortality for the past ten
months in the Havana district was
21.20 per thousand and throughout the
island 16.37. The one case of yellow
fever had been disposed of and had
not originated in Cuba. The sanitary
department, the President said, is pre
paring new regulations to be carried
out under executive authority.
President Palma submitted the
budget of expenses for next year,
amounting to $19,000,000, of which he
proposed to devote $2,500 for the
construction of new roads and bridges.
The special internal tax on liquors,
matches, etc., etc., levied for the pay
ment of the present loan now yields
$3,360,000 annually, with a surplus of
$1,270,000 above the amount needed. If
the export duty authorized to be placed
on sugar and cigars were also en
forced It would yield upwards of $500,-
000 more.
