Efforts of Admiral Jouett to Bring About a
Peaceable Settlement.


Peaceable Settlement.
WASHINGTON, June Admiral Jouett has
made an official report to the Navy Department
Of his recent trip to Carthagena for the purpose
of making, if possible. peaceful settlement
with the revolutionists He arrived there May
13, after the insurgents had attacked Cartha-
gena and been repulsed. He found that the
whole insurgent force before Carthagena, num-
bering about 1900 men, had embarked on board
their steamer, and were ready to retreat he
Immediately sent an officer to the leader Of the
insurgent force, and informed him they could
not leave the harbor with their steamers without
his consent and if they attempted to do so he
would prevent their departure by force. He
also informed them he desired to see them on
board the flagship Tennessee as soon as
possible Generals Gaitan and Hernandez
both came board this vessel the
same evening and the Admiral had long in
terview with them From their statements, and
also from the testimony of many outside par
ties, he was convinced that although there may
have been some irregularity originally in getting
possession of the vessels, they were only conse-
quent to the state of war which existed at
Baranquilla. They were used by agreement,
and the insurgents we're giving compensation for
their use. Admiral Jouett did not regard it as
advisable to take forcible possession of the
steamers, or to detain them longer during
pending military maneuver of the insurgents.
The Admiral urged Generals Gaitan and Her
nandez to make efforts towards peaceful set
tlement of the difficulties between the two po-
litical parties, and they both consented to
do so. General Gaitan sent two of his officers
to Baranquilla. Three days later General
Gaitan sent letter to Admiral Jouett thank
ing him for his proposition, but declining to take
any steps in the matter until he should receive
some information as to what steps the United
States would take. The Admiral took no further
steps at that time to secure a settlement of the
troubles.
Admiral Jouett reports that sickness among
the Americans has increased rapidly. He

Afghan position at Herat grows stronger, now
that its inhabitants generally favor resistance to
Russian advances-a change produced by visible
signs of the cooperation of the British govern
ment and the presence of British officers direct
ing the repairs of Notifications. Sir Peter
thought that the Turkomans are asplendid fight

attempts tc disarm them had produced rising
that compelled the Russians to relinquish the
endeavor. 1t would be very easy for the British
government to render Russian positions in cen
tral Asia untenable If Britain only gives the
word andis willing to aid all Turkestan would rise
against the Russian master. Sir Peter thought
that the British government ought to make an
alliance with the Sultan, so as to obtain access
to the Black sea- Sir Peter observed the great
est military activity everywhere during his
travel, and railway is vigorously pushing to-,
ward Merv, from which connecting links will
join the outlying military stations. The Rus
slams contemplate abandoning Petrowsk shore as
the Termination of the transcaspian railway, on
account Of the shallow water preventing the ap-
proach even of small vessels. They intend car
rying the line to Krasnowodsk. Sir Peter found
Batoum rapidly becoming place of great
strength, where Russian works progressed night
and day. He does not fear any Russian invasion
of India but he does fear the loss of Englands
prestige having i'll effect on the people of India
who will give undue strength to the power of
Muscovite intrigues. He said adequate measures
were being adopted to make the Indian frontier
extremely safe, and nothing need be feared in the
Cashmere direction, as that country was inacces-
sible from Russian territory, and the place is
fully in British hands.

WHEN
OLD BOB TOOMBS
Has Poor Opinion of the Negro, and Says
His Race Is Dying Out.

ATLANTA, Ga, June 4.-The Evening Journal
publishes an interview with Senator Robert
Toombs on the future of the negro. They are
his views as they would have been given in the
North American Review, had not bad health
prevented the preparation of an article for that
periodical He says his speech on slavery in
fremont Temple Boston, is as true to-day as it
was then, and will be fo- all time The negro
race is an inferior race. He was so created and
If God had not intended to make him inferior to
the white man, he would never have created him
black All history shows him to be incapable of
governing himself. He cannot therefore, govern
countries nor anything else. Speaking of him
as race Mr.. Toombs says the position of the
Rev. DR.. Haygood, that the two races must
rise or fall together is very foolish. The negro
race is dependent on the white for everything
He does not think they can be educated. 1t will
be found in the end that the negro, as a race, is
uneducatable. He says education is increasing
crime among them. A negro is out Of his ele-
ment at the blackboard; his natural home is the

is falsely interpreted by certain people in this
country. The negro is dying out as race; he is
bound to die out. That is what will become of
him it is the history of all inferior races, and
here is the broad distinction. The negro race is
sorab rac5; the white race is thoroughbred

but the thoroughbreds live to procreate the
