Film INSTRUCTIONS SHE GIVEN. Both Gqvermnents Send Orders Which Conflict and May ltesult In Kndlnff the Peace Conference. A Washington special says: The cabinet held a special session Satur¬ day night, at which instructions un¬ derstood to be of a positive character, bearing on the Philippine question, were drafted for dispatch to the Amer¬ ican commissioners in Paris. These instructions were the outcome t)f the conference held earlier in the day and instruct the American repre¬ sentatives to admit of no further dis¬ cussion as to the right to consider the disposition of the islands and state that on that point the instructions already sent must, stand, the only mat¬ ters of discussion .from the American view being the manner of giving over theiislands. . May Be tlie Bast. El Imparcial (Madrid) says the gov¬ ernment has forwarded instructions to Seno'r Montero Rios, president of the Spanish p’eace commission at Paris, and that Monday’s conference may be the last or the last but one, “unless the A merican -.cum mission ers moderate their claim.” According to El Imparcial,a member of the cabinet has virtually declared as much. The Madrid papers declare that the expected visit of Emperor William is a matter of no political importance, and, that the German ambassadors in Madrid aiid at Berlin are in no way connected'itl* \ it. Vealy improbable. A special of Sunday from Washing¬ ton says: Among on-lookers here the impression exists—though it is not the result of any official statement—that the Spanish peace commissioners will not consent to a treaty which the American commissioners could sign. It seems almost.possible, also, that in the pitiable pressure to which the Spanish commissioners are subjected between their large'creditors, who are on the spot watching them, and the stern attitude of the United States, the Spaniards may abandon their struggle and leave the two forces to confront each other. The statement is made that the last memorandum from the Americans is regarded by the Spaniards as a virtual ultimatum. But, as a matter of fact, the Americans have not presented an ultimatum, save as their treatment of the subject in hand may be unanswer- ble. It is only since Wednesday last that the Spaniards have begun to feel that the Americans purpose taking over the Pb 'i ipines, and that, too, without any as: Option of Spanish indebtedness. As they are now convinced of this.it may be that Spain’s next presentment in conference will be tho supreme rally of her diplomatic, It argumentative and tactful forces. may even mark the conclusion of all she has to say. but if the rules of procedure are followed, the America 113 would still have another presentation to submit.

GA. CONVICT FARM BOUGHT. Tract Contains 3,334 Acres ami Cost tlie State 820,000. Georgia’s new prison farm will be near Milledgeville, the prison commis¬ sion having purchased the Newell tract, as has already been published. This tract includes land owned by Captain T. F. Newell and Messrs. Hendricks, Bethune, McComb and Roberts. Judge Turner states that the farm is a fine body of laud, comprising 3,334 acres, lying between the Georgia and the Central railroads in Baldwin county. It is susceptible of as high a state of cultivation as any land in mid¬ dle Georgia. The tract costs $25,000, of which sum the city of Milledgeville has agreed to give $5,000 so that the farm will cost the state only $20,000 for purchase money. Some of it is well wooded and watered, It contains some rolling land and a great many acres of bottom land. It will make excellent crops. The legislature appropriated $50,000 for the purchase of a farm and the es¬ tablishment of the famale, the young and the old convicts on it. After paying for the farm the commission will have $25,000 with which to pur¬ chase additional land if desired and to move the convicts and house them and keep them until they become self- sustaining, if ever. Large stockades must be built. Large barns will be needed and also a mill for grinding grain, making meal and flour. The state will probably plant cotton as well as grains and grasses and vegetables. An option was secured by the com- missioners on a water power adjoining the- Newell farm and also an option on anotker farm of 2,000 acres. The location of the farm is central, and with two railroads running through it or close to it, it will be very accessi- ble from all parts of the state. The removal of the convicts n’iH begin next spring, when tho present lease expires. There are about convicts in the penitentiary, all told, and of these there will be possibly 300 for the farm. Whether the farm can be made to do more than pay ex¬ penses is to be proved. Some think it is possible for the state to raise large quantities of meat and grain as well as cotton and make the farm more than self-sustaining. The first year’s results are not ex¬ pected to be very flattering, as there will be so much expense in making all the preliminary preparations, and the state will have to support the women, children and decrepid convicts until the food crops are made. STRIKERS WIN FIGHT. Cliioago-Virden Coal Company Agrees to Pay the State Scale at Onqp. The differences between the Chieago- Virden Coal company at Virden and Auburn, Ill., and the striking miners, have been settled, and the shafts will soon be in operation. The company agreed to pay the state scale of 40 cents per ton, but did not want to tear down the stockade, Finally, the company accepted the offer of the miners that they would take it down and charge the company nothing for their labor Adjutant General Reese, of Spring- field, notified Sheriff Davenport Sat- urday that, the remaining troops guarding the Chieago-Virden Company’s shafts at Virden should be removed. Since the difference between the coal company and the miners have been settled, troops are no longer needed. General pressure is being brought to bear by influential persons that nothing shall result from the grand jury’s investigations. CIRCULARS ARE ISSUED Advising Negroe. to Commit Crime When Opportunity Offers. Postoffice Inspector Bay, of New Orleans, was in Chattanooga, Tenn., a few days since, and it vas learned that, growing out of the recent race troubles in North Carolina, the post- office authorities had discovered that an organized scheme had been tet on foot by parties unknown for the pur- pose of instigating the negroes of Mis sissippi, Alabama and portions of Geor- gia to deeds of violence. C.rculais have been sent out signed by the "Rosebud Club ” in which negroes are urged to criminally assault whito women whenever they have an oppor- tunny and to perform other dastardly crimes. MORGAN. GA„ THURSDAY, NOVEMBER IT, 1898. SPANISH TROOPS MUTINY. Seven Thousand at Neuvitas and Puerto Principe Demand Pay. Private reports reaching Key West from Puerto Principe and Neuvitas, say that 7,000 regular soldiers muti¬ nied, demanding their pay before em- baikjng for Spain. About 4,000 armed soldiers, the reports add, presented themselves in front of the palace, call¬ ing on the military governor, Emilio March, for their overdue pay. Thereupon General March drew his sword and ordered them to disband. The soldiers, however, refused to obey, and some of them, armed with loaded rifles, threatened the life of General March, who returned his sword*to its scabbard, crying out: “Do you wish to kill me? Well, kill me!” The soldiers in reply shouted: “No, no; we only want our pay be¬ fore embarkiug for Spain.” General March promised that they should be paid, and the soldiers re¬ turned to their quarters peaceably. The steamer Alava left Havana four days ago with $150,000 with which to pay those soldiers who were to embark immediately for Spain. The cruiser Alfonso XII and the gunboats Copde de Venadita and In¬ fanta Isabel have proceeded to Neuvi¬ tas to compel the soldiers to embark, after which they will proceed to Gibara for a like purpose, and will then go to Spain, unless new orders are received.

OF THE RACE RTOT AT PHOENIX, SOUTH CAROLINA. TOLBERT CULLS. ON M’KINLEY. He Tells TIis Side of the Story and De¬ mands That the Trouble Bo Looked Into. A Washington special says: The president has ordered federal officials to investigate the condition of affairs in Greenwood county, f?outh Carolina, and to report to him as to whether fed¬ eral interference is warranted. This order was sent through the de¬ partment of justice Friday. Tlie United States marshal and the district attorney are directed to pro¬ ceed to Phoenix and report the facts. The step was determined on after a confeience of an hour between repub¬ lican leaders of South Carolina and the president. During the session of the cabinet Fri¬ day considerable attention was devotod to the race troubles in the Carolinas. The president expressed deep concern over tlie situation. Of course, the duty of punishing the transgressors is with the state author¬ ities, and as Governor Ellerbe has not suggested that be needs aid, it is diffi¬ cult to see how the federal government is going to interfere. B. R. Tolbert, whose father .and brother were shot in the recent race war at Phoenix, was at the department of justice Friday and asked for the investigation of the riot by the federal authorities of the state. Tlie elder Tolbert, as lias been announced, is now in tbe state penitentiary for safe keeping from popular violence. Tolbert’s Story. Tolbert says that the true facts of the rioting have not been given. The facts are, he said, as follows: “I was nominated by the republicans of my district. For the purpose of making a contest before tlie house, my brother, T. P. Tolbert, agreed to be present at the polling place at Phoenix fo.--the purpose of witnessing the affidavits of colored men who wore l-ejected as voters because of their in- ability to comply with the require- ments of the constitution. “My brother took no part in the management of the polling place, which was in the hands of the demo- crats. He simply sat on the piazza of Mr. Luke’s house and witnessed the affidavits given him, depositing these affidavits in a box prepared for the purpose. killed, Etheridge, the white man who was was an election manager at » precinct two miles away. He left bis own precinct and, with a party of men, went to Phcenix. He walked up with his party to where my brother was kicked sitting at a table and deliberately over the table and box in which the certificates were. Then he assault- ed my brother. "In * short while the democratic voters who were in the same house rushed out and commenced shooting into the crowd. The negroes fled. My brother, who is probably dead by now, told me that Etheridge was killed "bots from his own friends. My brother did not have a weapon on his person.” At a late hour Friday afternoon Tolbert, accompanied by Solicitor General Richards, of the department of justice, called at the white house and had an extended interview with 'President McKinley Ho related to the president the story of his experi- ences in South Carolina entering on^elec- into minute details of the trouble tion dtv The t rreidont lintonorl nt indication^of^whntaction entirely to the reeltn! hi gave no if,ny might betaken However The attornov^EraUmi he rreiuested Mr Tolbert to see "tltement hi " t „ f n * ation as he viewed th^ it Returubm to department P int«T?ew of ins tice Tolbert bad an with Attorney General Griggs who had bistretnrnedtothec.tv from New Tersey At the conchision oMheHn ervbiw the attorney general said he wou d have a rmnfercnce with the ll pre possible^ dont unon It*woubltlicn the rnatter as soon a „d be deter mined what ’ if anything an y Uan 8> wo,,ia would be be SHOT GUNS * B CYCLES. -Pij If you want a Bicycle or Shot Gun call on us.

SPANIARDS ASK DELAY. No Meeting of the Peace Commission Was Held Monday. A Paris special says: There was no ioint sessions of the peace commis¬ sions Monday. Secretary Moore, of | the United States commission, re-, ceived from Secretary Ojeda, of the Spanish commission, a note saying that the Spanish commissioners had found it impossible to prepare their memorandum for presentation, and asking if the United States commis¬ sioners would be inconvenienced if, owing to the late arrival from Madrid of expected data, the Spaniards would request that the next meeting be de¬ ferred until Wednesday. American Secretary Moore replied that the commissioners were qnite ready to accommodate the Spanish commissioners in this matter, and the joint session was deferred until Wed¬ nesday. Importance was attached to this de¬ lay, it being regarded as indicating lhat the Spanish commissioners are preparing for a final stand in the ne¬ gotiations and it may be now definite¬ ly stated that they will not sign a treaty which yields to Spain no more for the Philippine islands than has thus far been offered or indicated by the Americans. Should the latter announce that the United States is only willing to reim¬ burse Spain for her pacific expenses in the Philippine islands, the Spanish commissioners will reply that their mission is finished, Should this occur it is possible the Spaniards will also suggest a suspension of negotia¬ tions through the commission and the i e sumption of negotiations between Madrid, and Washington. . The attitude, of the Spaniards is ex¬ plained by thefaet that the members of the'Spanish commission have polit¬ ical alliances and personal responsi¬ bilities to constituencies and the na¬ tional creditors of Spain which re,- ' strict them to certain lines, whSch is as far as tlio ministry at Madrid cares to go. COMPLICATIONS MAY ARISE --— • , Unless Mexican Antiioritles Helens© an American Vi-isoner, illegally Held. A Washington special says: The state department is making strong efforts to secure the release of the American, Temple, who is in a Mexi- can jail on the charge of murder com- niitted in the United States, and it llas instructed Mr. Fowcll Clayton, United States minister to Mexico, to address himself directly to the Ameri- can foreign office on that subject. The principle involved in the case is re- i fiarded of the highest importance, for if Temple is held for trial by the Mex- ican authorities it will amount to an admission on the part of the United States of the right of Mexico to exer- cbe extra territorial jurisdiction over American soil, Substantially the same claim was in- wived in the celebrated Cutting case, which came near causing a breach of j friendly th relations, recent and it arose of.Leonard again | » n e more case U»chco. Cutting was released by the Mexican government only after trial. Raoheo was released, but not on our demand, and in no case has the Mexi- can government surrendered its view j £at Mexico it had for a an right offense to try committed a person in in I n 'e United States. Cutting was in j j jail for several months and I’acheo for two years dt “ not at Probable that any auch delay , will be permitted in the iemplecase. On Sunday last Mexico James Temple, a conductor on the and Arizona railroad, was attacked by some Mexi- ^ns and m defending himself shot one of them at Juan Arvalla fatally, 'H-.s occurred about 2,000 feet north • °* the niternational boundary line.

SECOND GEORGIA OUT. It, Was Impossible to Secure Number of Re-Inllstments Required. The fate of the Second Georgia regi¬ regiment ment was decided Saturday and the will be mustered out. Col. Brown has wired for a muster officer, and as soon as he arrives the men will be examined and will be given honor¬ able discharges. For awhile it was thought that the regiment would remain in the service, but recently it has been known that there would not be a sufficient number who desired to remain to make a full regiment. Saturday the time limit for securing volunteers for re-enlistment expired. It was then ascertained that in the companies stationed at Camp Atkinson there were only ninety-five men and eighteen officers who desired to re¬ main in the service. News was re¬ ceived from the First battalion, sta¬ tioned at Savannah, that twenty-six men and six officers of that command desired to re-enlist, and it was lerned that, thirteen men of companies 0 and E, stationed at Augusta, had signed ho re-enlistment call. As soon as these facts were ascer¬ tained, Colonel Oscar Brown, the com¬ mander of the regiment, telegraphed to the mustering officers that it would be impossible to secure the number of re-iulistments required. Col. Brown asked that tlie mustering officer pro¬ ceed to give the men their discharges as soon as possible. The following order was issued from the department of the gulf at Atlanta relative to the mustering out, of the Second Georgia: “Colonel Oscar J. Brown, Second Georgia volunteer infantry, will pro¬ ceed to Savannah, Augusta and Rome, Ga., on official business pertaining to the muster out of companies of his regiment stationed at those points,and will return to his station in this city from each place upon completion of the duty thereat. The travel enjoined is necessary for the public service.” Administration officials have no sympathy with the Carolina rioters and regard their acts with abhorrence, hut up to this time, it is said, there is no evidence that would warrant any in- terference by the government, Postmaster General Emory Smith had a call during the day from the dele- Ration of South Carol na republicans, who were in the city to lay before the department of justice the facts in the election rioting at Phoenix. R. R, Tol¬ bert, whose brother and father were both wounded, was with them, One feature of the riot was the driving away of the deputy postmaster at McCormick, which lent an addi- tional feature of interest to the recital of the story of the delegation to the postal officials, TERESA A MILE OFF SHORE. .e*.ion or st.ao.ied Vessel, A spccml diupatoh from Nassau,New Providence, says.

I HIS HISTORY OF HISPANO-AMEUI* 1 CAN WAR DISAPPOINTING. , DOCUMENT CONTAINS NO CRITICISM General Recites Movement of Troops I>ur* ing Cuban Campaign—Makes Some Important Recommendations. A Washington special says: The re^ port of Major General Miles, com¬ manding the United States army, was made public Thursday by direction of Secretary Alger. The keynote ia^ found on the opening sentences, where it is said: “The military operation* 1 during the war have been extraordi- nary, unusual and extensive,” a state¬ ment which is fully borne out by the long recital of important events which! General Miles shows have made the military history of the year 1898 the. most remarkable since the end of thw civil war. In point of interest, the document divides naturally into four chapters for while brief allusion is made to 1 such matters as the military expedi¬ tions to Alaska, interest naturally cen¬ ters in the portion which treats oL tho war with Spain. J Under this general head the report deals with tho plans of campaign; with 1 tho war preparations; with the San¬ tiago campaign; with General Miles’s operations in Porto Rico, and lastly with the important changes in exist¬ ing organizations which are, in Gen¬ eral Miles’s opinion, necessary to make the army an effootivo weapon for the defense of tho country. There is an entire absence of any evidence of direct criticism, though certain sen¬ tences in the report are italicized in apparent desire to justify previously expressed plans of details of the cam¬ paign, and where it deals with events, the document is largely made up of a quotation of official dispatches. Treating of the war General Milea begins with a statement of the unpro- parediiess of the oouutry, showing how the vast equipment left by tho soldiers of the civil war had been dis¬ sipated or had become obsolete, until the tentage or cam p equipment was insufficient for any military operation. He recounts tho legislation of con¬ gress just prior to the war, looking to tho increase of the army, and cites hia own recommendation, on April 9th, that 40,000 men be provided for coast defense and reserve; thai (lie reserve army bo increased and 15,000 immune* recruited, making a force of 162,597 men, which, with 50,000 native auxil¬ iaries, ho considered sufficient. Such a force properly equipped he believed to bo better than a large force partly equipped. In the letter containing this recommendation, ho said: - « i I also recommend that at least twenty regiments of infantry, five regi¬ ments of cavalry and the light artil¬ lery be mobilized and placed in one largo ©amp where they can be carefully and thoroughly inspected, fully equip¬ ped, drilled, disciplined and instruct¬ ed in brigades and divisions and pre¬ pared for war service”’ He further asked “for 50,000 volun¬ teers to make up an army of 150,000 soldiers for offensive operations in Cuba.” General Miles olpses his report with «ome*""“ 8 ' ^om-non; ations for the improvement of the raihtary service j« few tists months the will experience be valuable of the to past the Profit, value or the coast re LT?TTfc defenses, he says, The hwi been proven and the system should be completed without delay. He favors the adoption of a standard of strength for the army to meet the country’s growth, and says that it should have one soldier for 1,000 pop- ulation, yielding a force of 92,655. While this force is already provided lor, unfortunately the authorizing act requires the army to be reduced to its former inadequate basis onthetermi- nation of the war. General Miles, in conclusion, re- commends the authorization of a force of native troops in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines to be officered by United States army officers, and not cxceedingtwosoldiersforl.OOOpopu- lation of the islands, and all of these inoreases he urges should be made at once, as they are of vital importance.
