SPIRIT OF CONQUEST,
lias Taken Entire Possession of the
United Slates.
Washington, May 31—Senator
Lindsay, of Kentucky, discussing the
prospect opening up to the United
States by the present war, said that he
deprecated that spirit ol conquest and
territorial aggrandizement which seems
to have taken temporary possession ot
tbe nation.
“I have perceived and felt that
| spirit,” said lie, “ from the day this
; Congress opened. It, ha= grown in in-
• tensity and power, and that with each
1 succeeding day, and with each new
1 event. There is no telling to what
1 length it may carry this nntion.
| .“I re-ret io’see it. At the outset of
1 this war we defined our purposes. It was
l to be a philanthropic and generous war
‘ of duty. We solemnly declared that it
1 was not for the territorial aggrandise-
1 ment and that so soon as Spain's troops
| should have been driven Cuba we
1 would retire from that island and,
i so far as we could end the war.
“Of course, we will have to hold the
Philippines and possibly Puerto Rico
during the rest of the war, as iiostages of
a satisfactory settlement, when terms
of peace shall he discussed. But I am
opposed to permanent possession of
those islands by the United States. I
do not see how we can hold them and
govern them. I do not rind constitu
tional authority for any such new de
parture in the territorial policy and
continental policy of the United
States.

Atlanta, Georgia, May 31, 1898.
The general weather conditions have
not materially changed during the past
three weeks. There have been no gen
eral rains, only partially distributed
local showers whose g*od results were
of short duration. Over most of the
State crops are suffering for rain and
very little improvement lias been made.
Cotton and corn are about holding their
own, while gardens, pastures, and late
oats are nearly ruined by the drouth.
The dry weather enabled farmers to put
their land in excellent condition, but
now it is getting so hard that in many
localities it cannot be worked until it
rains. Small grain is being cut, and
turning out as well as a rule.
When you start out to “tackle” the
finny tribe don’t forget to take a bottle
of Dr. Tichenor’s Antiseptic. Noth

Spain’s Plans of War.
in Honor of the President.
President McKinley is to be given
the unique distinction of having a num
ber ol a woman’s magazine named for
him and prepared in his honor. The
July issue of The Ladies’ Horne Journ
al is to be called “The President’s
Number.” It will show the President
on horseback on the cover, with the
President’s new “fighting flag” flying
over him; a new march by Victor Her
bert is called “The President’s March’";
ihe State Department has allowed the
magazine to make a direct photograph
of the original parchment of the De
claration of Independence, while the
President’s own friends and intimates
have combined to tell some twenty
new and unpublished stories and anec
dotes about dim which will show him
in a manner not before done. The
cover will be printed in the National
colors.

They are, as a rule, satisfied with the

midst of all the horrors and evils of
war. The military of the State, in
patriotic response to the call from the
President, promptly volunteered their
brave services, and they are now in
camp awaiting orders. These brave
men have made great sacrifices in ac
cepting these duties in defense of their
country and in the furtherance of civ
ilization. They, will be exposed to
many physical and spiritual dangers.
Not accustomed to the hardships of
camp life, these men will be subject to
despondency, disease and demoraliza
tion. Far away as they must be from
tbe sacred influences of home, and prac
tically depn^fd of accustomed religious
influences, it behooves the Christian
people of the State to provide for them
such privileges and loving comforts as
may be possible.
When the call came from President
McKinley for volunteers, tlie State
Committee of the Georgia Young Men’s
Christian Associations was quick to I
realize the opportunity for practical
helptullness which was presented to
them. An army committee bas been
appointed to undertake definite religious
work for these men. The plan as out
lined has the indorsement of General
Miles and the hearty approbation of
Ae officers in charge of the Georgia
iroops.
It is the purpose of the army com
mittee to establish a Young Men’s
Christiaiu'Association tent with each
regiment, to provide for the spiritual
welfare and material comfort of the
i soldiers. These tents will be provided
with reading matter and writing facil-
ities; young men’s prayer, meetings
: will be conducted, Bible classes organ,

Washington, June2, 1893.
Two more prominent ex-confederates
have been given generals commissions
by Mr. McKinley—ejc-Senator Butler,
of S. C., major general, and "ex-Con-
gressman and ex-governor Oates, cf
Alabama, Brigadier General—and it is
stated at the War Department that
several more will be similiariy honored
this week.
Senator Cockrell, in a strong speech
in favor of coining the seigniorage of'
the silver bullion owned by the govern-1
ment and of issuing greenbacks instead
of bonds, said: “Sacrifices must be
made in this war, 200,000 men have
been taken from the industrial pursuits
of the country, and are engaged in I
waste and destruction. War is waste.
War creates loss and destruction. All
the people should bear the burdens
alike. Sacrifices must be made, but we
cannot lighten the burdens or prevent
the losses of the war by an issue of
bonds.” After ridiculing the calling of
the proposed issue of bonds “a popular
loan,” and characterizing it as a
“fraud and a fake on the very face of
it,” Senator Cockrell said: “The golden
opportunity of the hankers and the
bond holders has come, and now they
rush in for more bonds in order that
they may more securely fasten the sin
gle gold standard on the country. We
want the war carried on, lor we be
lieve it to be a humane and just war.
We feel some responsibility for having
forced tbe war upon the country. . But
we are patriotic. We are not demand
ing the substitution of the bimetallic
system, but we are asking that instead
of bonds. 1 shall vote against any bill
that contains a provision for interest
bearing bonds.”
Senator Gorman said in his speech
on the proposition to coin the silver
seigniorage: “In my judgment it
would be unwise—it. would be fruitless,
to attempt to push that question to the
front while the country has the Span
ish army and navy to confront. That
is a question we ought to fight out in a
time of peace. I have always been a
partisan. I have voted for my party
even when some of its candidates did
not quite meet my approval. But in a
crisis like this I do not know my party.
I know only the highest interests of my
country. Knowing how sharp is the
political division upon this proposition,
I cannot vote tor it at this time, no
matter how just it may be in the ab
stract, or as a proposition standing
alone.” Senator Gorman supported the
proposition to issue bonds, because lie
said no war had ever been conducted
without an issue of bonds, and because
he believed that if the bill failed to pro
vide for an issue of bonds, Mr. McKin
ley would issue them under the law
of 1875, just as Mr. Cleveland did.
It begins to look ns though Hon.
Thomas Brackett Reed, otherwise
known as the Czar of the House, had n
big dose of humble pie to swallow. He
played the autocrat just once too often
when he undertook to go against Mr.
McKinley and nine-tenths or more, of
his party on the annexation question.
He was given more than a week in
which to escape this dose of humble
pie, but he had succeeded so often in
having his own way regardless of what
others thought, that he neglected to
take advantage of it by signifying his
willingless to vote for a special rule
from the Committee on Rules setting a
tinrfle for the House to vote on tlie an
nexation resolution. Then Mr. Mc-
Minley got mad, and under his direc
tion Gen. Grosvenor secured the sig
natures of more than three-fourths of
the republican members of the House,
to a request fora caucus to demand the
desired rule. Then the ultimatum was
served on the Czar. He was notified
that he could eat l;is humble pie by
voting for that rule at once, or he could
wait to have it crammed down his
throat by a party caucus; but eat it he
must.

LACRET LANDED
Four Hundred With a Pack Trahr
Reached Cuba in Safety.
Over 400 men with a pack train artd
a large quantity of urms and ammuni
tion sailed for Cuba on the Plant line
steamer Florida on the night of
21. These men and the equipment
constituted an expedition able to oper
ate independently and to defend itself
against any body of Spanish Swope
which might oppose it.
The expedition was under tlie- oom-
mand of Col. Jose Lacret, formerly in
surgent commander in 'f.rov-
ined He assumed the difwptiqn of af
fairs immediately on the hfofjKng of the
expedition. Until then Joaquin
Castillo was in control.
In the landing ot the expedition ihe
United States army was represented by
Capt. J. A. Dorst, and Thomas Estra
da Palma was represented by Capti J.
A. Cartaya, who has been the landing
agbnt of nearly every filibustering.ex
pedition for more than a year. Messrs.
Castillo, Cartaya and Dorst will return
to West. Gen. Julio Sanguilly, ond-he
way to report to Gen. Maximo Gomez,
was also on tip; boat.
This is the most powerful anti-
Spanish expedition ever sent to Cuba.
About 300 of the men ure Cubans; the
others are Mexicans. The engineer
corps of ihe expedition is composed e*
tirely ot Americans under Aurelian
Ladd. The men were dressed in can
vas uniforms furnished by the United
States government, and the commissa
ry department haJ rations enough to
last fifteen days after the landing. The
pack train consisted of seventy-live
mules and twenty-five horses. The
expedition curried 7,000 rifles and
2,009,000 rounds of ammunition for
Gen. Culixto Garcia.
.The expedition is composed of hardy
young fellows who looke l fit for any
thing. The expedition was convoyed
by the cruiser Marblehead, the tnrpede
boat destroyer Eagle and other war
ships.
Later information raises a strong
presumption that the landing was ef
fected. as originally planned, not far
from Guantanamo, province ot Santi
ago de Cuba.
Mr. Isaac Horner, proprietor of the
Burton House, Burton, W. V., and
one of the most widely known men in
the state was cured of rheumatism af
ter three years of suffering. He says:
“I have not sufficient command ot lan
guage to convey any idea of what 1
suffered, iny physicians told me that
nothing could be done for mo and my
friends were fully convinced that noth
ing but death would relieve me of my
suffering. In June, 1894, Mr. Evens,
then salesman for the Wheeling Drug
Co., recommended Chamberlain’s Pain
Bairn. At this time my toot and limb
were swollen to more than double their
normal size and it seemed to me my
leg would burst, but soon after I began
using the Pain Balm the swelling be
gan to decrease, tbe pain to leave, arid
now I consider that I am entirely
cured. For sale by Culver & Kidd.
