which is flittering around in Cuban wa
ter.?, as it has been in bottling up every
particle of interesting war news, the
end of the war would be in sight. Of
ccause every body recogniz .s the neces
sity for keeping news of contemplated
movements out of the newspapers, lest
their publication should aid the enemy,
but there is no good reason why this
state of affairs should exist. Had every
cable from Cuba been cut as soon as
war was declared, and the same rigid
censorship been put into effect upon
European messages that is now exer
cised. Spain could have derived no
benefit from the publication of war
news by American papers. If the pres
ent censorship be followed by results,
there will not be much complaint, but
if it be merely a cloak to bide the blun
ders of somebody, Congress will not
long remain silent.
(Irders have been issued in profusion
io our fleets in Cuban waters, and
there is, of course, a general hope that
they will succeed in finding and fight
ing the Spanish fleet—no one doubts
that we can lick if we can get at them
—but Secretary Long seems to take it
for granted that the Spaniards can
avoid a fight just as long as they may
desire to.
Those who for one or another rea
son are desirous of dragging the war on
indefinitely have again been trying to
persuade Mr. McKinley to postpone
ihe invasion of Cuba until fall. They
have got a new argument now—that it
will take (our months to make as much
i ammunition as they think that the
I army ought to have before being sent
j to Cuba. They also ring the changes
mi the old argument that military oper-
| ations a large scale cannot be carried
: on in Cuba during the rainy season,
j which UMially begins about the tenth
j of June and continues for six or eight.
J week;—an argument long ago disposed
of by the active campaigns ot the in
surgents during rainy seasons. If the
statement about ammunition be true,
whi<;li there is reason to doubt,
there is something radically
wiong about the War Department. It
is supposed from the hurrying of vol
unteers to the south, that the invasion
of Cuba it will be pushed at once,but
plans have been changed so often that
it is difficulty to say what will be
done.
Czar Reed lias the Hawaiian annex
ationists on the anxious bench. The
other four members of the committee
on Rules are evenly divided and it is
for him to decide whether the commit
tee will report a special rule for the
consideration of the annexation resolu
tion, without which the resolution can
not be brought to a vote.
As a sort of answer to criticisms from
every direction, it has been semi-of-
ficially announced that the Navy War
Board,popularly known as the “Board
ot Strategy,” and spoken of by some
irreverent persons as the “board of
lathergy,” which is composed of naval
officers, has nothing to do with con
ducting the war, but is merely charged
with the drty of advising Secretary
Long. This will strike most persons
as an attempt to make a distinction
where there is no’difference. If Sec
retary Long did not consider the advice
of tiie board worth being followed, the
board would be speedily be abolished.
It would be safe to say that every im
portant order issued by Secretary Long
lias been upon the advice of this board.
It would be the most natural thing in
the world that both Mr. McKinley and
Secretary Long, neither of whom has
had any experience in naval fighting,
should seek the assistance of naval of
ficers in conducting that branch of the
war. The unnatuval thing is that such
ft statement should have lean allowed
to have been made. The Naval War
Board has certainly done all the con
ducting of the war that has been done
from fhe Washington endjifthere isany
credit, it should not be deprived of it
any more than it should be shielded
from criticism.
Senator Daniels made one of the
strongest speeches yet made against an
issue ot bonds, and in favor of paying
the expenses of the war as we go along,
rather than saddling them upon post
erity. Replying to the contention that
the issue of bonds proposed was intend
ed for effect upon Spain, Senator Dan
iels said that if the desired effect could
be assured he was ready to vote to issue
the bonds. “But,” he impressively
continued, “if Spain was not convinced
at Manila that this country was in
earnest in this war, then Sampson and
Schley and Miles and their Lieuts.
have some arguments to submit to her
that will prove to be even more assured
vehicles of conviction than any issue of
bonds could be.” He declared the stamp
tax to be the most odious and pestifer
ous tax invented by men.

Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield,

caught cold, which settled on her lungs;
she was treated for a month by her
family physician, but grew worse. He
told her she was a hopeless victim of
consumption and that no medicine
could cure her. Her druggist sug
gested Dr. King’s New Discovery for
Consumption; she bought a bottle and
to her delight found herself benefitted
from first dose. She continued its use
and after taking six bottles, found her
self sound and well; now does her own
housework, and is as well as she ever
was.—Free trial bottles of this Great

General Henry R. Jackson, one of
the best known citizens of Savannah
and of Georgia, died at an early hour
Monday morning at his home in Sa
vannah.
He had suffered from paralysis since
Sunday.
No citizen of Georgia has had a more
varied, picturesque and brilliant career
than General Henry Rootes Jackson,of
Savannah, born in Athens, Ga., June
*24, 1820. His father, Henry Jackson,
LL. D., youngest brother and adopted
son of General James Jackson,of Revo
lutionary fame,was an eniment profes
sor of the State University, the presi
dency of which,repeatedly press’d upon
him, he declined.
General Jackson was educated at
Yale college, and graduated with one
of its highest honors in 1839. Study
ing law he was admitted to the bar at
Columbus, Ga., and shortly thereafter
began in Savannah his remarkably suc
cessful career. He was appointed
United States district attorney in 1843;
elected in 1846 colonel of the First
Georgia regiment in the Mexican war;
served as judge of superior courts from
1849 to 1853; was appointed United
States minister to Austria in 1853, re
signing in 1858; declined to be chan
cellor or the State University to which
he was elected in 1859 by unanimous
vote of the “senatus academicus,” com
posed of the state senate and the trus
tees of the university; was a delegate to
the historic Charleston convention of
1860, was elected for the state at large
on the Breckinridge and Lane ticket;
was appointed judge of the Confederate
courts of Georgia in 1861, resigned in
the same year to become brigadier gen
eral C. S. A., resigned this position
also, shortly thereafter, to accept the
appointment of major general of state
troops in the field made by the gov
ernor, confirmed by unanimous vote of
tiie senate ot Georgia; was reappointed
brigadier general C. S. A. in 1864;was
made trustee of the Peabody Educa
tional fund, which position her resigned
after holding it some years; was ap
pointed by President Cleveland United
States minister to Mexico in 1885, re
signing in 1887; has bejn president of
the Georgia Historical society from
1875 to the present time, and of the
Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences
for many years.
General Jackson married in 1843,
Miss Cornelia Davenport,‘.who died
1853, and in 1866, Miss Florence King,
daughter of the distinguished statesman,
Hon. Thomas Butler King.
A connoisseur in art and letters,gen
uinely eloquent, ot dantless chivalry
and immovable convictions, a man of
affairs, and endowed with exalted home
qualities, General Jackson was a type
of the best Southern manhood.

John Stevens, the negro who killed
two men in Macon Tuesday, is in Ful
ton county jail, for safe-keeping. The
killing was done very early Tuesday
night, and the negro, in custody of two
officers, was carried to Atlanta on the
first train and immediately taken to jail.
The men shot by Stevens were James
Kershaw, clerk in the commissary de
partment of the Georgia Southern rail
road, and John Carr, who was employ
ed as clerk in the trainmaster’s office
of the same road. Both men were un
der 21 years of age. Stevens was em
ployed in J. A. Randall’s saloon on
Cotton avenue, near the city hall. He
was behind the bar when the two young
men entered and ordered beer. A dis
pute followed, and the two men started
behind the counter. The negro caught
up a shot gun and fired, striking them
both. One side of Kershaw’s face was
torn away.

But the Southern sun and Hi V fa try-
Florida atmosphere lias been getting
in its work. Lassitude has target aup-

However deserted the streets may Ba>

at night with all the motley array of.
humanity that the cosmopolitan throng,
gathered here can furnish. Every
where are lights, music and the hum of
voices.

time presents a spectacle not to be wit

women in evening dress, soldiers from-.
the United States army from every-
rank in the service; soldiers of Cuba*...
military attaches of the English andl<
German governments—all forming »>:
kaleidoscopic mass of strangely blended't
colors.
Through this gorgeous throng, with
out coat or vest, swaggers an orderly*,.,
with the perfect assurance ot one who*,
knows his rights and means to assert,
them. There is music there, and muebe
chatter and small talk. The bulletin,
board is forgotten. The business of
the moment is the bowing and scraping
ot introductions, the struggle for :
ephemeral precedence, the uttering of
harmless jokes and empty compli
ments.
At the other end of the city is the
reverse of the picture. There tho
gambling and dance houses allure tho .
private soldiers. Passes are plentiful
now and Tampa’s dens are reaping a-
rich harvest.
Already most of the soldiers have
spent theflast dollar of the salary re
cently paid them, or lost It at the
gambling tables.
