Havana, Cuba, Aug. 29.—-Both rebel and government forces seem to be making time, and beyond raids by small parties of rebels there are few developments. The government pro fesses tp believe that Guerra is now the pnly insurgent chief in the field who Is dangerous. I am informed that it is the purpose of the government to watt for a few days until the effect of the amnesty proclamation may be fully felt, and then undertake a general forward movement for the purpose of await ing Guerra, and thus ending the revo lution. One of the revolutionary leaders has revealed, it is said, that the rebefa pur pose to remain quiet until all the avail able. forces have been sent against Guerra. Then, it Is asserted, Guzman, who commands In Santa Clara, and General Asbert. with his forces In Havana province, will move up and the government forces will be bottled up between them. The town of Cabanas, near the Uni ted States naval station, was seized yesterday by a band of 200 rebels un der Campos Marquettl, the negro con gressman. Two other towns were raid ed by rebels. They were Crucos in Santa Clara and Consolacion in Pinar del Rio. The importance of the capture of Cabanas Is that It is a port and while TWELVE NEW COPS ADDED JO ROSTER Trial of Patrolmen " Jones Postponed Until Thursday. Twelve men were added to the police department -at a meeting of the police board Tuesday night. The trial of Pa trolman George C. Jones was deferred until Tuesday night. But five members of the board were present. Chairman Terry and Commis sioners English, Oldknow, Woodslde, and Brandon. Mayor Woodward and Commlffglon^rs Venable and Nunnaily were the absentees. Chief Jennings, submitted a recom mendation that at least forty addition al men be employed on account of the recent reign of lawlessness In the county and the fact that the strength ening of the county police force would drive the negroes Into the city limits. He' called attention also to the fact that not enough men wpre on duty at the station house to respond to a riot call* ■ The board ordered the chfef to ap point twelve additional men,, the ap pointments to be subject to the approv al of the board.. Two former police men, C, E. Yoggr and a^E.. Doyal, were named by the two commissioners and will be appointed. Chief Jennings has not appointed the remaining ten mem bers. arid ammunition. the rebels hold it they may land arms Deserting Guerra. It is stated today' that there have been many desertions from *the forces of Guerra in Pinar Del Rio. Lack of food and the hopelessness of the rebel lion is given as the cause. The de fenses of the city of Pinar Del Rio are now said to be impregnable to any force Guerra can possibly bring against them. RECEIVER’S SALE NOW GOING ON.

Sketch of Hie Life. W. R. Dlmmock was born in the (little village of Hayestown, England, August 11, 1852. When two years old he was brought to America, the family first coming to Atlahta, then settling Conyers. «As a boy, he attended school In Conyers, coming to Atlanta when 15 years old and entering the Wlnshlp machine shops, where he worked for a number of years. His education was completed at night school. After giving up his work as a me chanic, Mr. Dlmmock became a fruit and vegetable commission merchant. He wns the senior member of the Dlmmock ft Wallace Commission House, at No. 1 South Broad street, for many years. He first entered politics In the early 90'e,when he was elected to the city council. Later he was elected an al derman and served as mayor pro tem. Seven years ago Mr. Dlmmock was made secretary of the water board and has since given up-hie time to that work. Mr. Dlmmock married Mrs. Fanny A. Kerby. of this city, during the year 1887. Throughout his life Mr. Dlmmock had been a worker In the Methodist church and for the last 25 or more years well known In fraternity circles. At the time of his death he was a .steward In the Grace Methodist church, of which he has been a member for man! years. Aside from being one of the oldest members of Gate City Lodge No. 2. Free and Accepted Order of Masone, Mr. Dlmmock was a charter member ol Klbln Temple. Dramatic Order of Knights of Khorassan. and one of Its most enthusiastic members. A delega tion from this chapter will be In at tendance at the funeral. Military Record. Mr. Dlmmock was, In point of ser vice, one of the oldest members of the state militia. He joined the-militia In 1873. His first service was In the Gov ernor’s Guard Infantry. When this or ganisation was disbanded he became a member of the Governors' Horse Guard, Troop 1, First regiment cavalry, N. G. of Georgia. Three months ago he wns presented by the etate with a medal for the length and faithfulness of his services. On August 4 of this year he successfully stood the examination and was commissioned a second lieutenant In the Horse Guard. Although the strain of studying for these examina tions Is claimed by some to have brought on the fatal malady, It Is also believed that a stroke of apoplexy he sustained two years ago hod much to do with the death. Because of Mr. Dlmmock's long ser vice to' the city of Atlanta, Mayor Pro Tem. Harwell has Issued orders that the city hall be closed at 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon. The fiag will re- main at half mast throughout the day SHIP WITH BRYAN Oontlnued from Page One. torla today that the original plans for the reception of the “peerless son" had not been altered, In spite of the die satisfaction with the plans as man! tested by the delegation, 114 strong, of •'Bryun’s home folks," headed by “Jim” Dahlman, the cowboy mayor of Omaha. An equally positive Impression was given, though not formally announced, that the Nebraska bunch Is going to do what they came on hare for, name ly, go down the bay In a boat them selves, and In spite of the reception committee's plan, receive him on their own boat and carry him off In a cheer of home-grown Nebraskan enthusiasm. "We'll See Him First." The Nebraskans say: "Who should see him first If not his own neighbors? Just let us see him first, and William Jennings Bryan won't be the same sort of a man he used to be If he drops us and goes over to these other chaps." "These other chaps" are the Demo cratic: dignitaries and friends of Mr. Bryan, who will form the welcoming delegation on board the steam yacht Illlnl, 'belonging trf E. F.

Williams died of heart disease brought on by excessive Joy, due to the fact that she was about to come Into the poesesslon of ft,000,009, was the finding today at a coroner's Investi gation Into her death. Dr, Coral Lafayette Williams, the husband of Mrs. Williams, died alx years ago while developing eome mines near Albuquerque. His body was robbed of considerable money, besldee mining stocks, and the widow was Im poverished. C. B. Crosby, an old friend of her husband, learned of her whereabouts and he set about to develop the Albu querque mining property. He was very successful, and got a sum which net ted Mrs. Williams $1,000,TOO. She was to have received this, but while wait ing to go down town after the money she expired. Marion 8m!th Improving, Marlon Smith, aon of Hon. Hoke Smith, who was operated on MoiMny for appendicitis Is reported as Improv ing rapidly. No complications have arisen, and the wound Is healing nicely. The physicians anticipate no severe consequence from the operation, snd believe the patient will be out In a very short time. DO ADVERTISERS STOP TO THINK —-that in addition to quantity of circulation, esteem and confidence cut some ice—QUALITY is a big item, but The Georgian seems to have it going and coming—good people read The Georgian, and they call The Georgian GOOD. THE BEST SOUTHERN PAPER. To the Eilitor of The Georgian: \ ' The general impression throughout the state upon the best class of people, the conservative and substantial citizens, is that The Georgian is the best paper published in the South. It has been generally understood that it is a clean paper; that no fake patent medicine advertisements; no thriving “get- rich” schemes will be held before its renders in full page display, carrying a stamp of approval by virtue of the quality or reputa- tibn’of the journal containing the advertisement; also that no whisky advertisementif appear in The Georgian. And that The Georgian has adopted or rather began on a policy advocated by so many of the leading magazines, to let nothing appear within its column* but reliable nnd honest ad vertisements exploiting square deals only. An advertisement in The Georgian carries a stamp of merit, which increases its value to the advertiser, and no paper can lose in the long run by such a fair dealing policy. Reliable advertisers are rapidly learning that it is detrimen tal to their advertisement to appear on the same page or in the same paper with fakes and notorious skin game notices. They are withdrawing their patronage and look suspiciously upon such papers, and are ever seeking a better and more trustwor- thv medium. «• K- S. thy medium. Acworth, Ga. — HEARSAY: "REIGN OF TERROR” EDITORIAL SOUGHT BY CAROLINA CITIZENS. Special to The Georgian. • Salisbury, X. C„ Aug. 28.—The Georgian’s great editorial leader of Thursday has been generally read here and much dis- ■ cussed. The Evening Post reproduced it Saturday, with indorse ment of its sentiment. When it became known that the paper had spoken through it* editor upon the “Reign of Terror” there was a demand for far in excess of the supply. It was discussed in connection with local conditions. "BEST PAPER IN THE SOUTH.” To the Editor of The Georgian: Although I am a total stranger to you, I write this as a young man and a citizen of Georgia to express my appreciation of your newspnper, The Georgian. In my humble opinion, the editorial page of The Georgian is the best in the Sonth, and for genuine merit not surpassed by any such section of any paper in the whole country. All the rest of (he paper is conducted on an equally high standard, nnd the pa per as a whole presents to the reader a well-balanced report of all the news of the day. I hope that your paper will always be as clean, newsy and re- liable_ns it is now, and that your circulation will increase as much as the paper merits. I would like to see The Georgian have a paid subscription of 50,000 at the end of two years. With sincere wishes for the success of The Georgian, I am Respectfully, . O. W. PASSAVAXT.
