LEE AND LoNGsTnEET.

The report circulated throughout the
country several days ago to the effect
that General Longstreet had said Ger
tain things against General Robert z;
Lee as military commander now APP
pears to have had no foundation in fac
and thousands who read the report will
be glad to know that General Long
streets opinion of General Lee Is, and
has always been just the opposite to
that which the report credited to
him. The following from Il card sent
out by his publishers will be read with
pleasure:
I'm regard To the article I'm The New
York World we desire to say that il
must certainly be an error Of the re-
porter To have represented General
LonSstrect as making any such remark
as the one attributed to him Chat Lee
was poor GcneraD. General Ice had
no more loyal supporter than Long
street. and his book Will give his COM
mander all due credit. We can posi-
lively assure you that no such lam
gunge or intimation that Lee was a
poor commander appears In any way.
He speaks of him OF all occasions
with the greatest respect and ndmira-
ton, both as a general and as Il man."

THE MANIFEST DESTINY.

The Cuban correspondent of the Lon
don Times writes that paper that after
careful survey of the situation, he has
come to the conclusion that the manifest
destiny OF the island is annexation to
the United States. lie Is of the opinion
that complete independence of the con
troll of some other nation Is impra cticn-
BILE for Cuba, because Of radical jeal-
ousies. II can only say" says he, that
what ! see to-day in Cubn leads me to
believe that Cuban independence can
only be the preliminary to the absorb
ton of Cuba into the American fedora
tom" The philadelphia Ledger In
commenting on the question, says:
English opinion as to the inability
OF Cuba to govern herself as a republic
must, OF course, be taken with many
grains of allowance. The monarchics
naturally discourage the growth of the
family of republics. for the spread of
democratic IDEAS Is menac' ng the dynas-
ties the world over. Cuba may be una
bic to govern herself successfully at
once. but let II not be forgotten that
nations as we'll as individuals are de-
great teacher"
Nevertheless. there are n great many
people in this country who firmly be
lieve that in the event of Cuba's indie
pcndence the island would sooner or
later become part of the United States.

NOW IT Is LODGE THAT DECLARES
WAR.

Senator Lodge. of the Lodge force
bill" fame, has declared war against
England. and 1t does seem that nfter
all something Will have to be done to
appease the wrath OF the Lodges and
Chandler's
Senator Lodge Is in England, and on
last Sunday sent n dispatch to the
New York World declaring war against
that country. He says he cannot per-
nit England to occupy Venezuelan ter
ritory, and that the Monroe doctrine
has to be recognized rs fact" OF the
same order as the independence of the
United States. He declares further that
he'll not remain quiet and see any
such an outrage as the occupancy of
Venezuelan territory by Great Britain.
or course after this declaration no.
thing more need be said on the subject.
The country had hoped for a contin-
uance of peace, but after reading this
declaration of war by Mr. Lodge. we
may as well pitch in and lick England
and be done with It. The New York
Post. whose attention has been drawn
to the aforesaid telegram, has this to
say:
I'VE have long felt that this was
coming, but supposed Lodge would
delay putting on his dust and sweat"
and tackling 1.-THE work of the world"
once more until he got home. The
responsibility which this bold bad man
Is taking on himself Is something aw-
full to contemplate. OF course, it Is to
our advantage to have him over in
London just as the war breaks out. see

headquarters; but what we cannot

DEMOCRATS SHOULD DE UP AND
s III ACTING.

Tuesday the Democrats of Norfolk
should do their duty. and see to it that
the election of our candidates for the
House or Delegates-Hon. NJ. T. Cooke
and Major w. L. Fosters secured
beyond question of doubt. There Is an
opposition ticket in the field-a ticket
representing prescription faction OF
the Republican party. 1t will not do
for Democrats to rest quietly on their
arms. The old time enemy should be
met and beaten at the polls. 1t there
fore behooves every Democrat to be
up and acting. The gentlemen noml-
mated by the Democratic party are
qualified in every respect 10 look after
the interests of our city In the Legis-
lature They have had experience IN
this field, and they should have the
warm support of every Democrat.

CHIEF CROWLEY WRITES.
He Has Made no Headway With the
Leper Proposition.

Chief of Police Crowley OF San
Francisco, who is now is this city,
recently sent a letter to Captain
Lees. The Call in speaking OF the
letter says: "The climate of Hawaii
was delightful and the people were
the most hospitable he had ever met,
the natives particularly so. His
health was greatly improved and he
felt sure the rest would make new
man. He hoped the captain would
make up his mind 10 take a trip
there.
"Speaking of tho Government
officials he said they Hore thorough
ly American, and although most Of
them had been born On the islands,
they had all the characteristics of
their American ancestry. The Gov
ernment was on a strong foundation,
but he found an earnest desire for
annexation to the United States,
which, if accomplished, would be Of
great benefit to California.
"The Chief had not been able to do
much in regard to the proposition to
snip the lepers in the Pesthouse here
to Hawaii, and did not think it
would meet with any success"

JAPAN SENDS OFFICIAL DENIAL,
Did Not Murder Chinese at Port
Arthur.
DISGUISED IN CITIZEN CLOTHES.
Soldiers or Chinese Army Carry Goa
esAled Arms-RSsIsted and Fought
to the LAst-CitiEsns Fired on JaPAA-
csc Omcial Statement Received.

The following official statement
regarding the reported atrocities Of
Japanese soldiers after the capture
Of Port Arthur was received from
the Japanese Government by the
steamer China:
1. Chinese soldiers flying discarded
| uniforms. 2. Those in plain clothes
killed at Port Arthur were mostly SOL
diers in disguise. 8. Inhabitants left
| before engagement. 4. A few remain
| ing were ordered to fire and resist and
did so. 5. Japanese army greatly ex-
cited by the sight of fearfully mutt
lated bodies burned alive and some
crucified. 6. Still Japanese preserved
discipline. 2. About 355 Chinese pris-
| orers were taken at the fall of Port
Arthur, kindly treated and brought to
Toxic in q few days.
The reports sent abroad by foreign
newspaper correspondents, and more
especially by the reporter of the New
York World, regarding the capture OF
Port Arthur, were greatly exaggerated,
and are Of q highly sensational char
acter, tending to impair the good
name Of Japan.
At the fall of Port Arthur the Chi
nese soldiers, seeing that open resist
ance was futile, discarded their mill
tary uniforms, and putting on citizens
dress disguised themselves as peaceful
inhabitants Of the place, and secreted
themselves in the vacant houses, from
which the real peaceful Inhabitants
had taken their departure some days
J previous to the attack by the Japan
, ese army, and to which they returned
, again after peace and order had been
restored.
The Chinese soldiers thus disguised
carried concealed arms, and as they
: were not accustomed to give quarter
: to their enemy, they were afraid OF
being killed in case they surrendered.
= Consequently, when they were at
last discovered by the Japanese troops,
= they offered resistance and fought to
: the last.
In addition, some of the peaceful
: inhabitants, who had not left the
8 place before the battle, acting under
+ orders of the Chinese troops, fired
e upon the japanese troops, but most o.
the Chinese killed at Port Arthur &C
= tually proved to be soldiers in dis.
t guise. This statement is established
t by the fact that upon nearly all the
e corpses were found Chinese military
II clothes underneath the outer gar
ments.

Emma Jane PerrymOre to Relate Her
Celestial Experience.
The First Bryan Baptist church, the
leading colored church OF Yamacraw. will
be crowded tonight to hear Emma Jane
Perrymore give the second installment of
her experience while in a trance.
The eolored population is greatly ex-
cited over her remarkable story and little
else was talked about among them yes
terday. Night before last the girl deliv-
cred her message to sinners, being an ac-
count of her trip 10 hell. Tonight she will
deliver her message to Christians being
an account Of what she saw in heaven.
The second story is to be told only TO
processing Christians, and the church au-
thorlties will make an effort to exclude
all who cannot claim. with some show of
reason, to have had this experience. Their
task will be a difficult one, as the an
nOuncement that they were to be excluded
has simply whetted the curiosity of the
sinners, and it is safe to say that there
will be many on hand tonight whose
claims to grace Will surprise the church
authorities.
Many white persons have had their Gu
riosity excited by the girls remarkable
statements and the account in yesterdays

commented on.

DIE FROM LACK OF CARE.
The Little Interest COIOred People
Take in Each Other when sick.

A large percentage Of the deaths which
occur among the negro population in Sa-
vannah occur without a physician having
been called in 10 attend the case. This
is especially the case with the deaths Of
very young children. but it frequently oc-
ours among adults as well.
a Morning News reporter was in the Of
fee of the health officer the other day
when a colored man came in for burial
permit for a man who mad JUST cleo.
When asked what physician had attended
him ne replied. none that he knew Of. He
had asked one Of the city physicians 10
make an application for a permit, nut
the physician refused, he said, because
he had not attended the case.
That's the second case OF this kind In
a week remarked CHIEF sanitary IN
spCctCr Melvin I'VE issued permit just
the other day for a negro who died with
out an attending physician. These cases
are constantly occurring. II is simply as

The number Of deaths from neglect
among the negroes is undoubtedly very
large. Health officer Drummer has sew
eral times called attention to the state
of affairs in his annual reports, and urged
the necessity of taking some steps TO
compel them to give proper attention to
their, sick by inhcting punishment OF
some kind in cases Of glazing neglect.
