i-uire, owing to the disturbed condition
following the assassination! of Presi
•emt Heureaux of San Domingo. Neith
er the state department nor the war
<depa*<t T nenit has received any advices
-of agi alarming character, but owing to
large American interests on the is
land it was deemed advisable to take
every precaution. It is understood
that American capitalists have made
arrangements with the Pomincan ap
tliorities by which practically tihe en
tire machinery of the island adminis
tration is under their direction.
'The Now Orleans is expected to sail
from Newport at once. The sail to
Santo Domingo city is about five days

an advices under date of July 14, were
received here by the steamer Moana,
as follows: The situation in Samoa is
one of great uneasiness, the attitude
of the natives being far from reassur
ing. Several fights have occurred in
different parts of the islands, between
supporters of the rivals for the king
ship .and several natives have been
billed. Nothing much seems to have
been accomplished by the high com
mission since arms to the number of
400 were surrendered by the contending
factions. Chief Justice Chambers being
dissatisfied with the support extended
to his court by the commissioners, will
leave today for Washington. The Ger
man government, it is claimed, is
greatly displeased with its commis
sioner's recognition of the decision of
the Supreme Court in the kingship
case.

He Issues a Forcible Appeal to the People of
Georgia.
Atlanta Ga., Special.—Governor
CAtt'ditr has issued an appeal to the
I>eople of Georgia to join hands hud
put an end to mob Vl&ience in the
State. The Governor believes that the
only way to restore a condition of
PC&ce and tranquility, and to bring an
end to the lawlessness that has been
manifested in different parts of th
jtate is for the people to uphold the
course, aid them in bringing to speedy
Justice all criminals and by the utrODg
force of a virile public statement, bring
punishment, to the law-breakers of all
kinds. The Governor telle of the re
proach heaped upon the State by the
repeated outbreaks and says:
“The purity of the fair mothers and
daughters of Georgia must and shall be
preserved, and at the same time the
lives and liberties of all the law abid
ing negroes in Georgia must and shall
be protected. Arson and burglary and
assassination and robbery and rape
must stop, and at the same time lynch
law must stop. The good of both races
and the fair name of the State demand
this.
“The ordinary processes of the law
are amply sufficient to punish all
crimes. Our Judges are pure and Incor
ruptible. Our juries are composed of
cxur most upright men, who
seldom make mistakes. The mob often
makes mistakes and the innocent are
made to suffer with the guilty. It never
knowns where to stop, but after pun
ishing the guilty, drlmk with the blood
of one victim, it thirsts for the blood
of another, and often sacrifices on the
altar of vengeance those who are
guiltless of any crime.
“We must away with the mob. We
must re-enter upon the region of law
and order. We must restore the altar of
reason and tear down the altar that
passion has rected. We must do this
in the interest of the white men of
Georgia and in the interest of the ne
gro, of Georgia, and for the fair name
of Georgia, and to protect the virtue
of the women of Georgia.
“Lynch law does not stop arson, nor
robbery, nor rape. This requires the
strong power of the statute laws, sus
tained by a healthy, vigorous public
sentiment.
“I would appeal,’’ continues Gover
nor Candler, “to all officers of the
State, civil and military, urging them
to remember that the dignity and the
fair name of Georgia are in their
keeping. I would appeal to them to re
member that they are the guardians of
the peace and happiness of the people
of the State. It is their duty to appre
hend and bring to justice all who vio
late the law, whether it be the negro
who commits rape, or the white man
who kills hint for his crime. 'I he grand
juries must realize that it Is as much
their duty to ferret cut and return true
bills against members of the mob who
lynch a murderer as it is to return a
true bill against the murderer him
self,
Id appeal especially to the bar
to bring that potent influence which
the members of the profession exercise
in every community to the aid of law
and order, not only by discountenanc
ing mob rule, but by aiding the courts
and juries in bringing accused parties
to speedy trial. It is the duty or a law
yer to see that his client has a lair ana
impartial trial, but he should not re
sort to mere technicalities ana pretext
to defeat the ends of justice, or even
to delay the enforcement of penalties
whereby society suffers and tne confi
dence of the people in the ability of
the courts to punish crime i3 destroyed.
“In bringing about this end,” said
the Governor, in conclusi.on, "I would
invoke the active, earenst co-operation
of all good men, white and black, with
the officers of the law in their efforts
to prevent crime, suppress mob violence
and bring criminals to Justice and to
restore peace and order and tranquility
to all Of our people of every race, class
and condition.”

Hesitates to Order Quarantine.
New York. Special.—Health Offi
cer Doty says that in his opinion there
was little, if any, danger of yellow
fever reaching this city by any of the
steamship lines. He nad not estab
lished a quarantine, he said, but had
requested the officials of the Old Do
minion Line, whose vessels touch at
Old Point Comfort, to exercise every
precaution to prevent the sale of tick
eta to persons who have been exposed
to the disease. The company had
agreed, he said, to obey his request,
and he did not believe that it would
be necessary to declare a quarantine.

OPPOSITION SHEETS GLEEFUL
That So Little Has Been Accomplished—The
Final Protocol Regarded by One Paper as
a Funeral Oration.
—— • ,
Berlin, By Cable.—The papers this
week have been givihg their verdicts
bn the outcome Of the peace cdnference
ftt the Hague. The tofie of the comment
Of papers friendly to the conference,
generally, is one of disappointment,
that so little has been accomplished,
while those opposing indulge in gleeful
felicitations that no more was accom
plished. The Tageblatt considers that
the form of arbitration adopted marks
an Important step toward securing the
peace of the world. The most import
ant result the Post sees, is that a
method is now open to nations for set
tling difficulties, saying: “While the
conference has not shered in the mll
lenium still it shows that the powers
are earnestly striving to preserve for
the people the blessings of peace.” The
National Liberal Zeitung calls the final
protocol a funeral oration, and says the
results equal zero, The Kreue Beitung,
referring to the United States and Eng
land, says: “The nations that boasted
loudest of their humanity made the
stoutest resistence to really practical
humanitarian propositions.” The Kreuz
Zeitung further points out that while
England and the United States stood
together in opposing the prohibition of
bombs filled with noxious gases, the
United States backed up England's
refusal to abandon the dumdum bullet.
"The platonic declaration of the con
ference for the principles of the Czar’s
proclamation,” the Kruz Zeitung con
tinues, “introduces absolutely no
change in existing conditions.”
Mixed Results.
The Hague, By Cable. —The interna
tional peace conference met for its
final sitting Saturday, wheel it was
announced that sixteen States had
signed the arbitration convention,
fifteen the other two conventions,
seventeen the declaration prohibiting
the throwing of projectiles or explos
ives from balloons, sixteen the
declaration prohibiting the use of
asphyxiating gassets, and fifteen the
declaration prohibiting the use of ex
pansive bullets.
A letter was received from tin
Queen ci Holland to the Pope, asking
his mota'ft’ suppc-t of the conference.
The Pope's reply, which was read,
promised cooperation, recalled the
fact that bp had many times performed
the function of arbitration, and as

present abnormal position, the Pope
would continue to seek the advance

New Ytirkj Special.—Wm. J. Bryan
discusses the Philippine question irr

“The Philippine question is important
because fundamental principles arc in

"The Declaration of independence
asserts that governments derive their
just powers from the cPiisbht of the
governed, and this is the doctrine to
which we have adhered for more thin
a century. It is the* doctrine wnich
has distinguished us froth European
countries, and has made our nation
the hope of hum mil y. The statue in
New York harbor typifies the nation’s
mission.

QhCst? If the doctrine set forth in the
Declaration of Independence is sound,
how can we rightfully purchase sov
ereignty from a Spanish sovereign,
whose title was disputed in Cuba, and
whose rebellious subject! we armed in
the Philippines?
“In the resolution of intervention,
Congress declaied that the Cubans
were and of right ought to be free.
Why? Because governments derive
their just powers from the consent of
the governed, an • Spain lnid refused
to respect the wishes of the Cubans. T f
th Cubans were, and of right ought to

“In the beginning of the Spanish war
Congress fenied that our nation bad
any thought of extending Us territory

“An individual may live a double life
when only one life is known. When

It cannot advocate government by con

claim the doctrine, familiar in Europe,
but detestable here, that governments
are round in shape, about thirteen
inches in diameter and fired cut cl

“For more than a century this nation

“it is surprising that any believer in

YEILOW FEVER AT HAMPIOI
#
Thirty*Seven Cases and Seven
Deaths.
- Ti rT~—
THE OUTBREAK WAS SUDDEN*
Newport Newslßaltimore and Surrounding
Town* Greatly Exercised About the
Situation
Newport News, Virginia, Special.-
Thirty cases Of yellow fever developed
at the National Soldiers’ Home, near
Hampton, Monday, and during the day
three deaths occurred from the disease.
Ii is said that the disease broke eut
among the inmates of the Home last
Thursday, but no information of it
was given to the public. The news nat
urally created great excitement in
Norfolk, Portsmouth and adjacent
towns and strict quarantine regulations
were at once put In force. There are
3,500 inmates of the home and the in
stitution was last week visited by sev
eral excursion parties.
After a day of intense excitement
over the yellow* fever outbreak at the
National Soldiers' Home, Newport
News rests with a feeling of compara
tive security. The city officers and the
various municipal bodies have been
busy and it is felt now that no loop
hole has been left through which the
dread scourge may find its way to this
city.
The latest report from the Soldiers’
Home gives the total number of cases
at 33, an increase of only three during
the day. There was one death. The
universal! hope now is that the disease
will be confined within the Home lim
its, and the authorities at the institu
tion express confidence that this will
be done.
The town of Hampton, which is in
close proximity to the Soldiers’ Home,
established a cordon of armed police
men at the approaches to the reserva
tion. Notwithstanding this
Newport News quarantined against
Hampton and Elizabeth City county
and Warrick county. Thus this city,
which is nearly ten miles from the in
fected point, has the advantage of
practically ad mbla'auarantine on land.
A tug boat patrols the river to prevent
the evasion of quarantine restrictions
by means of boats. The danger line
ahoi eis guarded by an adequate force
of s{ Jial policemen. The street rail
way company was prohibited from
running cars between Hampton and
tins city. Although hundreds of pcop*e
left the city on account of the scare,
their departure is regarded with indif
ference and amusement rather than as
a judicious precaution by the great
majority who stay at home.
Hie city council nas appropriated
slu,ooo for immediate use in maintain
ing the quarantine.

The following order has been issued
by tie war department:
"Commending General, Department

accounts there is little doubt that the
