fully made known to Congress. 1t in
cludes protecting them from the star
walton that is staring 50 many Of them
in the face, as result of the policy Of
Gen. Weyler in cooping them up in the
cities and towns of Cuba where there
is no opportunity for those who are de-
pendent upon their labor for living for
themselves and families to obtain en-
ployment. President Mckinley has
asked Congress to appropriate money to
furnish food, clothing and medicine for
these suffering Americans, and Con-
gress will promptly do it, and the relief
will be distributed by U. s. officials.
The Spanish minister wanted to have
the distribution made by Spanish ofic-
ials, but he was promptly informed
that it could not be done; that as long
as Spain had by its policy caused
these people, American citizens and
noncombatants, to be deprived of the
work by which they lived, it should
have seen that they were in some
other way provided for; that having
failed to do its duty, the U. s. would
relieve its own citizsns, either by birth
or naturalization, without help or him
drancs from Spain. That is as far as
the matter has gone, but there is little
doubt that the sending of relief to Cuba
for suffering Americans by the govern
ment, is the first step towards interyen-
tion, either peaceably or by force to put
an end to the barbarOus condition of
affairs on the island. it will follow as
a natural sequence. If present condi-
tions were allowed to continue, the U.
s. Government would have to establish
permanent relief depots in every town
on the island. The first duty will be
to clothe the naked Americans, feed
the hungry and see that the sick get
proper nursing and medicine; then the
conditions that brought about the suf-
fering will have to be changed. There
will be no occasion for trouble, unless
Spain makes it. If she does, SO much
the verse for Spain.

ATTEMPT TO DEFEAT THE ORDFP
OF THE COMMISSION
Discrimination Against Dawson On.
ly Partially Remedied. Chair.
man Trammell Notified.

Saturday the new rates of freight for
Dawson, made necessary by the order of
the railroad CO nmission thai discrimina-
ton by the railroads against this CITY
stop, went into effect.
But the railroads have partially do.
feated the order of the commission so
far as the rate on cotton is concerned
Heretofore the railroads have receiva6
cotton for shipment at he weight of
$50 pounds per bale, but ON Saturday
the agents of the two roads in Dawson
notified local shippers that cotton would
be billed at 500 pounds per bale on and
after that date.
b The old rate.On cottOntwas 405 cents ne,
hundred and the new rate is 81 cents
but the raising of weights has wiped ONT
about one half of the reduction in FREIGHT
charges anticipated under the 81 cents
rate. Instead of a reduction of II cents
per bale to Savannah, as contemplated
10y the commission, the actual charges
have been reduced only 9 cents per bale
AS soon as the action of the railroads
was learned Judge Griggs, representing
the business men of Dawson. wired
Chairman Trammell OF the state rail
road commission the facts in the case,
Chairman Trammell replied that no dis.
elimination would be allowed in weights
for or against any place, and that he hac
wired the traffic managers OF the Contra
