ATKINSON DENOUNCES LYNCHERS

GeorgIa's Governor Would Arm Pris-
oners to Prevent Their Murder.
Atlanta, Ga. Oct. 2S.-Mob law was
severely condemned by Governor At
kinson in his message to the Georgia
legislature, which convened here yes
terday. The message bristled with a
scorching and sensational attack upon
the lawless spirit that fosters the lynch
law in this state.
He says that to eXterminate the prac-
\ tice OF lynching, the crime must be
made odious and shameful.
He advocates stringent legislation
against mobs, and insists that the leg
islature pass law laying every county
wherein such crime is committed to
large Indemnity to the relatives Of
the mob's victim.
The northern lynchers are spoken of
by the governor. On this subject he
says:
There Is no excuse to say that the
northern people. who have less to pro-
woke it. lynch. Let US not take them
as a standard. but rather show high
er type Of civilization in our state and
erect here a standard to which they
may aspire"
The governor says he IS In favor of
the arrnng of the prisoners and allow
ing them to protect themselves from
mobs.

THE SPANISH REPLY.
It Is Not Causing Alarm Among
the Government officials.
NOT AN OFFENSIVE DOCUMENT.

Our Government VIII Let tho Matter
Rest Uutll Congress Meets, Giving
sagasta's Governments Ample Time
to Perfect Its Plans in Cuba.
Washington, Oct 2s.-The event of
yesterday at the state department was
the receipt of the long expected cable
gram from United States Minister
Woodford. at Madrid, transmitting the
answer of the Spanish government to
his representations In the interest of
peace in Cuba. There were little less
than q thousand words in the mes
sage, for Mr.. Woodford. instead of ca
bling the whole Of the Spanish answer
to his note, had contented himself with
reducing the matter to brief outline.
The first copy was taken at once to
the president not being entrusted to
messenger. but being delivered by Chief
Clerk Michaels in person at the White
House. After due opportunity had been
allowed the president to read the mes
sage an application was made for a
statement Of its contents or nature.
This was declined by Secretary Por-
ter and 1t was said that under no cir
cumstances would the correspondence
be made public before consideration by
the cabinet.
From unofficial information that has
reached administration officials in ad-
vance of this measure Of Mr.. Wood
ford's as to the nature OF the Spanish
reply 1t Is evident that in neither lam
guage nor subject matter is the COM
munication likely to be taken as often
sive by our government. 1t may be, 1t
Is true, regarded as insufficient to meet
the issue presented by Mr.. Woodford
in his note, but officials Of the state
department say that, in view Of what
has already been accomplished by the
new Spanish cabinet in reforming
abuses in Cuba, in removing Weyler
and in projecting what appears to be
liberal measure of autonomy. our gov
ernment will certainly rest, at least
until congress assemblies. and afford
the new Spanish government reason
able time to carry out its plans
Vice Consul General Springer, at Ha-
vana. has telegraphed the state depart
ment that the Spanish authorities have
pardoned Frank Agramonte and Tomas
Julio Saenz, two American citizens
who have been imprisoned at Santiago
de Cuba since June, 1885, There are
now probably less than half dozen
Americans held prisoners in Cuba, ex-
elusive of the Competitor crew.
