Oct. 11.—When Secretary of War Taft and Auletant Secretary of State Bacon tall Saturday for the United Statea aboard the batUeehip Louisiana they vrMI be accompanied by General Frederick Funeton. This announcement tree made last night by Mr. Taft, who said: "General Funeton was summoned on a hurry Call frdm the Pacific coast be cause ■ he Vas well acquainted with many of the Insurgent chiefs here and It was thought he could aid us, as he did greatly In bringing the men In arms to an agreement. General Funeton was put temporarily In command of the troops In Cuba merely as a convenience until General Bell should arrive. Gen eral Funston, Mr. Bacqn and myself, with Mrs. Taft and Mrs. Bacon and our secretaries, are returning to our permanent duties." The situation In Cuba will be left to Governor. Magoon and General J. Franklin Bell. Funston Not Liked. It Is Stated that General Funston was perona non grata to the Moderate leaders because of differences during hla services In the Cuban army. The end of the foreign legion's career Is now In slgnt. This ornamental body Is likely to be disbanded In a very short time.

EAGLE EYE HAD HEAP BIG DRUNK; PALE FACE OFFICER CAPTURES HIM It appears that before' he goes out of ofllce Mayor Woodward will be able _ . _ .. , . .. to scrape together enough cash to help Yesterday waa the anniversary-of thei , d ,, navln » „rr .i.., .jo ana outbreak of the ten-years' war In 1888. 1 * * **• Wing oil that 140,000, - - — - which he doean t want to carry over for Chief Joyner to settle when takes the mayor's ohalr. After the decision of the supreme court that the Vlrglnla-Carollna Chem ical Company owed the county <18.- 000 on notes and accounts, and the payment or this amount to thq county this week. Mayor Woodward, decided, that the city had 120,000 coming from the same source and directed City Tax Investigator Biedge Collier to take steps toward collecting the money. And that Is not all. The mayor Is going after other people, who owe the city money for the same reason. "A lot of people and corporations only report for taxation such nota and accounts as they are caught with," said tie, Thursday morning. Acting on the decision of the courts that such assets are the same as money, an ef fort will bo made to get the city's share. Another source from which he ex pects to derive sonu revenue for the city Is on forfeitures on contractors' bonds, as stated In The Georgian a few days ago. Oliver & company, who have the contrect for the building of the north approach to the Washington street viaduct at *60,1*0. and Grant Wilkins, who his the contract for the south ap proach and the steel work over the railroad yards at »86,180, provide In tlielr bonds for the forfeiture of *50 per day' for every day’s delay In tho completion of their work after De cern her 1. It is probable that they will not be throjgh by the date specified and some cash will therefore come from that source. In addition to this some sewer contractors have fallen down on their work and the city will proceed again it their bondsmen. The city has already appropriated *50,000 for the viaduct work, the rail road Is responsible for *57,000, and the mayor hoc agreed that If the committee van rake together »l»,S.o for the payment of the rest of tho contract price h«. will agree to let go over the remainder of the *40,000 his administration owes. It appears that with the additional sources of revenue mentioned above, which were not counted , cm/by the committee, they will liable W-jneet the ilemarid of the chief eXefirttvc of the city .without cramping any of tho departments. ; ' ’ , ' . .'/ COURSE OF STUDIES FORTHENEWSCHOOLS It was observed as a national holiday.

In every Instance, however, the ruling ot Judge Banker favored the prosecution. Testimony of John D. Rockefeller, given In 1898 In the litigation against the Standard Oil trust, before the su preme court of the state, was admit ted and carefully read to the Jury. Mrs. Ida M. Butts, the first witness of the trial, was then called to the stand. Mrs. Butts said she was the step-daughter of the late George M.
