GEORGIA ~ ALABAMA II, n.
IL Secures Lyons branch OF Central
of GeOrgiu ROod,

SAVANNAH, GA, March 6.-An agree
ment has been concluded between Presi-
dent ii. VI. Conner, representing the Cen
trai Of Georgia railroad, and President j.
s. Williams. Of the Georgia and Alabama
railroad. which secures for the latter un-
der perpetual lease. the Lyons branch
Of the Central railroad. extending from
Meldrim, on its main line. seventeen miles
from Savannah. to Lyons, a distance Of
ffty-eight miles, the junction with the
Georgia and Alabama
The Georgia and Alabama railroad has
also concluded "A trackage agreement with
tho Central of Georgia for the use Of the
seventeen miles from Meldrm to Savan-
nah. and has also made an arrangement
for the use Of the extensive terminals Of
the Central of Georgia railroad at Savan-
nah. on a basis similar to that made by
the Central of Georgia railroad with the
Florida Central and Peninsular railroad
The lease and trackage and terminal con-
tracts will take effect April !, 1896.
AS a result Of this arrangement, the
Georgia and Alabama railroad avoids the
construction of seventy-hve miles from
Lyons TO Savannah. This gives fhe Geor-
gia and Alabama a line from Montgomery
to Savannah seventy-hye miles shorter
than any other. II Is rumored that the
rental paid the Central OF Georgia Is be-
tween $1,000 and $4,000 per year.

ner: AS telegraph wires are down. most
OF the time. and there Is no telling
what Is ahead OF the train, an explor-
Ing engine, with one arrnored car, adj
vances cautiously along the line. The
engineer watches for missing rails and
sawed ties, while the troops watch
for insurgents. The rate OF progress Is
about hve miles an hour The train fol-
lows closely, also with one or more
armored cars and strong guard.
When rails are found missing others are
laid. unless there Is an attack.
The train to Batabano is sent out two
days n week. Although it runs along
the strong line across the island, and has
biock-houses within riiie-range OF each
other, the train seldom reaches its des-
tination in one day. On the return
trip rails which have Just been laid are
missing. and others have 50 be suhsti-
tuted The Western railway into Pinar
del Rio has not run farther than ten
miles from this city in six weeks. No
trains have gone TO Guanajay In
month. Trains 10 Matanzas seldom get
through. Nearly every station on the
line has been destroyed.
In other provinces affairs are about
the same. The operations OF the insur-
gents are directed against railroads which
are employed for moving govern
ment troops, and against planters whose
crops furnish Spain with the revenues
Of war. incidentally. much other pro-
perty is destroyed, and people arc made
homeless and destitute. Prowling bands
OF robbers and incendiaries follow the
movements of both columns OF
both armies and commit outraGes.
The insurgents hang these men,
and the Spanlards shoot them, when
ever they are caught and convicted.
Every war has its horrors, and this one
is not exempt. The blame for the de-
predatlons committed does not all be-
long to the Cuban side. however. Span
sh columns, which have been foraging
for supplies. have been accused Of wanton
destruction In many places.
CROP PROSPECTS POOR.
The prospect of any kind Of a sugar
crop is less encouraging than ever.
The outlook for gathering and sending
of the tobacco crop is also not encourag-
ing.
Gomez. in a talk with an American
planter recently, said; IL divide the
war into three periods-that of invasion:
that of occupation and that Of expulsion.
We are now in the second period"
He alluded to his march westward. and
that of Maceo through Pinar del Rio, as
the invasion. His people certainly oc-
cupy a large portion Of the territory of

poses 10 expel the Spaniards. my inform

"DEATH TO THE YANKEEsw
Enthusiastic Cheers. on the Other

MADRID March 6.-The demonstrations
in Valencia continued to-day. n mob
numbering fully 5000 persons paraded the
streets. shouting Death to the Yankees"
and in other ways showing their disap-
proval Of the attitude of the United States
on the Cuban question. The mob would
have made a further attack on the Amer
lean consulate, but the government had
taken steps TO prevent this, and had
placed a strong guard in the streets ad-
jacent to the building, and the rioters
were thus prevented from approaching.
The crowd proceeded to the French con-
sulate and cheered enthusiastically for
France, this action being due TO the be-
lief that France will assist Spain in the
event of trouble with America. The French
Consul appeared on a balcony and bowed
his acknowledgements.
The reports OF anti-Spanish manifesto
tions in the United states have added
greatly to the excitement in the large
cities and towns.
