Washington, June I.—When
the cabinet meeting adjourned
yesterday it was announced that
the matters under discussion
were not of vital importance,
nor was there anything of inter
est that could be given to the
public. The best information
obtainable from other sources,
however, strongly indicates that
the important military move
meat now in progress will be
directed against Santiago ami in
co-operation with the lit el undvr
Commodore Schley and the
in=urgent forces. Our forces are
expected to speedily capture the
city of Santiago and the fleet or
destroy both. Il is also intimated
from high sources that the land
i expedition now embarking al
i Key West, may be divided and
I one division s r nt to co-operate
■ with Admiral Sampson against
■ Porto Hico.
■ It is believed that the govern-
■ went now has a sullicient num-
■ her of regulars and seasoned vol-
■ unteers to carry out both of these
■ plans to a successful issue.
■ Transports in sullicien 1 numbers
■ and capacity already have been
■ secured, and it is the opinion of
■ high officials that one or both of
■ these plans are now being car-
■ tied into execution. Gen. Miles,]

noon received the following le ter
from Hod, F.G Doßignon, Chair
man of the Democratic Executive

MR. DUBIGNON’s LETTER.
Savannah Ga., May 31, 1898.
Judge Joel Branbain.
Rome Ga.
Dear Judge: Referring to oui
Conversation, in Atlanta touching
th j qualifications ol voters at the
primary on June 6 h w.uld sas
th it the State Executive commit
tee imposed no restriction upon
voters ■ xcept thut they should be
democrats au I they «' oild Jagret
to support t' e nominees of the pri
mary in the general election,
where the County Executive Com
mittee has prescribed no qualifi
cation. I unh°sitatingly express
the opinion that all dem
ocrats who have attained the age
of 21 years and who are residents
of the state and county where the
primary is held have the right to
vote therein regardless of whether
theijare registered or whether they
have paid the taxes required by
the J oonstitution in order at a
regular election.
Very Truly Yours,
F. G. dußignon.
A CRISIS
Feared Fr m Strained Relations
Os Church And State.
St. Loui« June I—A special
cablegram to the Globe Democrat
from Rome says:
“The recent disturbances here
and the pro pectof war with which
the Catholic Cnur >h is now threat
pned by the Government on th*
alleged ground of the complicity
of the clergy and religious orders
in the recent riots, have led the
Popepo reconsider his recent deci
sion and to order the holding of a
consistory within the next fort
night, with the object of creating
a number of Cardinals, so that the
sense of the church may be com
plete for the purpose cf consider
ing the future policy of the pa
pacy.
“There is no doubt that the re
lations between the church and
state are more strained now than
at any moment since the capture
of Rome. Both face a grave
crisis. ”
A prominent supporter of Col
Candler and one well versed in
politics, said yesterday: “Colonel
Candler will carry Clarke county
by 400 majority out of a vote of
1,100, which will probably be
cast. There is not a county in
this section that he will not car
ry, hands down.
The people of Georgia know
Comptroller-General W right
and they will never believe slan
ders uttered against him by men
whom Mr. Wright brands as
slanderers.
