The Conditions in Cuba May Claim th'
Presidents Attention

Presidents Attention
Washington, Dec. 24-ODe Of the most
serious phases of the Cuban situation in
the eyes of the administration is the con-
dition Of the reconcentrados and the
official reports to the government are
that there is no improvement in their
condition. Mr.. Mckinley is not concern
ed about the military situation and ex.
pressed himself to the effect that no in
reference would be made unless an
emergency exists. The present condi
ton some believe may be construed by
the administration as an emergency.

WANT AN ARMORY.
Company II is Striving Hard to Secur
Their Much Needed Hall.


Their Much Needed Hall.
Owing 10 clause in the contract to
which he took exceptions, Charles Cheney
has decided not to construct the armory
hall for Company H as announced sew
eral days ago. The clause referred to
contemplates the annulling of the lease
in the event of the disorganization of the
company before the expiration of the
term which it is to run. Consequently
the company is now endeavorng to ar
range some other means of securing
their hall.
For the sake Of the company, which
since the recent reorganization OF the
state guard, has been experiencing a
steady healthy growth, it is to be hoped
that the boys will succeed in their en-
deavors. An armory hall with regular
equipments and conveniences necessary
to such an organization would quickly
place the company on stronger footing
than it has been for some years.
Boulder's militia company is perma-
nent organization and an investor runs
little risk of losing by its disorganizaton.
The contract when the state offered, all
lowed rental OF 5000 a year, which
must be conceded to be handsome re-
turn on an investment of s. 600, such as
would be necessary for the building re
quired.
1t is understood today that the COM
pany has two or three parties in Boulder
figuring on putting up the building for
them. Boulder certainly has attained to
a size to merit such building and the
success of the venture would be assured.

mile fifteen yards ahead of McDuffee
who beat out Michael at the tape by a few
feet. McDuffee took the second mile by
fifty yards over Michael In the third
mile a chain on McDuffee's sextette broke,
depriving him of a pacemaker for the lap,
and he lost the lead. Michael finished the
third mile in a quarter OF a lap ahead of
McDuffee. From this time out Michael
had the lead and slowly crept up on both
Lesna and McDu9ee.

THE Y. NJ. c. A. NIGHT SCHOOL.
Interesting Statistics About an In
terestinG Institution.

The educational department of the
Young Mems Christian Association has
become an important factor in the work
of that organization. The last report is
sued by the international committee shows
that $500 young men attended the educa-
tional classes of the various associations
during the past year. That the associa-
ton officers evidently believe in the per-
manency of this part of the work is shown
by the money put into equipment the past
year, which was $4,000.
The Savannah Young Mems Christian
Association conducted last winter for the
first time successfully, educational classes
for young men in the evenings. The num-
Der of young men that availed themselves
of these classes was SO, the average age
being q years. 1t is interesting to note
the various occupations represented,
namely: Clerks, "a; machinists. s; sales
men, 2; carpenters. 2; insurance agents, 2;
students, 2; lawyer, 1; electrician, l. book
keeper, /; rosin sampler, /; cotton grader,
/; printer, l; cart driver, l; manufacturer,
l; telegraph operator, /; blacksmith, l;
boiler maker, /; out of employment, ?.

this line of work the directors of the as
ISOLATION have decided to have the classes
again this winter, commencing Oct. l. The
following branches will be taught, provid-
ed ten young men show a desire to enter
each class Bookkeeping, including exer-
cises in practical arithmetic; free-hand and
mechanical drawing; English, embracing
course in grammar, spelling, composition,
and practical correspondence; penman-
Ship French and German.
To join the classes it will be necessary
for one to become a member of the assoc
citation, and make deposit of "a for each
class. The course will be six months long
and the class will meet twice a week. The
teachers for the various classes vii. be
the very best that can be secured. Those

LEE WILL RETURN TO CUBA.
M'KINLEY WILL NOT TRADE
HORSES CROSSING A STREAM.

The situation in Cuba Is Represent
ed by the General to he Very seri-
Ous-He Has n Long Talk with the
President and Secretary AIgcr.
In Private Conversation the Gem
eraI Condemns the Policy of Gen.
WeyIcr-The President Said TO
Have Asked Gen. Lee to Remain in
His Position Little Longer.
Washington, Sept 1s-Gen. Fitzhugh
Lee, consul general to Cuba, had a long
consultation with the President at the
white house to-day.
It was the first time Gen. Lee had seen
Mr.. Mckinley since the formers return
to this country about a fortnight ago. He
saw the President by special appointment
and all visitors we're excluded during the
progress of the conference, except Secre-
tary Alger, who came over from the war
department and remained until after Gen.
Lees departure.
The conference was a long one, last
ing about two hours. Gen. Lee carefully
reviewed the situation in Cuba and ex-
planned at length all points on which
either the President or Secretary Alger
asked for information. Gen. Lee gave
his own views very freely to the Presi-
dent, but after the interview was very
reticent about the nature of the report he
had made. He said the President had not
given him an outline of his policy. 1t is
evident, however. that the President Is
deeply impressed with the critical charac-
ter of the situation in Cuba, as is de.
scribed by Gen. Lee, as it is understood
that at the conference he strongly urged
Consul General Lee to retain his office,
at least, for the present, and to return to
Havana at his earliest convenience.
As It has been strongly intimated for
several months that ex-Congressman AL
drlch would succeed Gen. Lee at Havana,
and that the latter probably would not
return, the Presidents action to-day is
construed to mean that he thinks 1t mad
visable to make a change at this juncture.
Gen. Lee left here this afternoon for Cow
ington. Va but before his departure adj
mltted that he would return to Cuba as
soon as he had arranged his private af-
fairs, probably about the middle of Octo-
Der.
In private conversation with close and
personal friends, Gen. Lee has expressed
himself vigorously as to the situation in
Cuba and has been very emphatic in his
of some of Gen. Weyler's
methods.

eve are inclined to think the writer of
the foregoing is mistaken. The merchants
of this city would not bring statesmen
here from other cities If they could get
the kind of men they want here. 1t isn't
reasonable that they would. There are
too many men who think they are compe-
tent who are not so. And they do not
take the trouble to make themselves COM
petent. A great trouble which merchants
have is to get competent salesmen-men
who not only know how to handle a Gus
TONER but who know how to get custom
ers for the stores in which they are en-
ployed Too many men think that If they
simply put in the regulation time in the
places at which they are employed they
are entitled to good salaries. They are
mistaken. Something more is expected of
them. The men who make themselves
valuable are seldom out of employment
in this or any other city. Those who find
themselves out of job are the lncompe-
tent and unreliable men, and the men who
do not consult the interests of their en-
plOVers.)

Complaint That There Is Discrimi-

Savannah, Ga. Sept. 17--Editor Morning
News: VIII you give this article a place
in your Sundays issue. it is an incident in
which there is more truth than fiction.
Being one of the four gentlemen seated
at card table the other evening in a
friends house enjoying a sociable game
mot for money! I overheard a part of a
conversation by the four ladies wives of
the above gentlemen who were seated in
the parlor, the adjoining room. The princi-
pal topics of the day, (such as the excess
sive heat, the dreaded yellow fever, en-
gagements, marriages, separations, and
society in generaD were picked over. The
subject of dress, the final topic among
ladies, had begun. The styles of course
were mentioned, and then their tastes ex-
pressed, when one of the ladies said: 81
send off to the north for most all my
things" One of the ladies asked why? The
other replied: Because 1 do think 1t is
so unjust Ito several competent, willing,
married men and good citizens of our city,
for some of the merchants of Savannah to
import men from New York and Charles
ton to take positions here. There is no ne
cessity for any such thing. Why one of the
prominent merchants here has imported
three or four statesmen this season from
the north. Where is your protection for
home industries? Why not give employ
ment to the deserving home people, who
have families and who have been living
here for several years, who spend all they
earn right here and want to remain here
Seldom, If ever, these imported new men
remain here more than one season. This
has been the experience of many of the
merchants, and more than that, several
left here owing many dollar, while many
a one that lives here, who is now idle,
would be glad to live within his
means if he were offered the
salary and position that is given
to the same imported men" Amongst
the four gentlemen is one the writer
knows, who has been out of work sew
eral months, who has proven himself a
competent man. and has applied to sew
eral large stores for a position. He was
informed that there was no vacancy.
Thirty days later these same concerns
put the Importation" in positions. Is it
any wonder. then, that the other three
ladies said they did not blame the people
for sending off for their goods? Why not
live and let live? The writer comedies
with the lady in question, who, knowing
that her husband is worthy of any posi-
ton that might be offered him and wishes
to express his opinion through your jour-
nal 1t would be proper to state right
here that the above is the opinion of
many, but who do not want to say so.
The quicker such an evil is remedied the
better. What if the wives of many sales
men should boycott such stores?
A Citizen.
