PARDON DOES NOT BAR INDEMNITY
So 1t Appears from a Letter tn Sherma
from SancuilIy's Counsel

from Sanguilly's Counsel.
Washington, Feb. 26.-It is under
stood here, and the fact may have an
important bearing upon the treatment
of the SangUilly case if well established.
that the withdrawal of his appeal was
without prejudice; in other words that
it does not estop him from taking action
in the future, if he feels that he has
reason. to secure indemnity for his i'm
prisonment 1t appears that the only
legal method of securing the prisoner
discharge speedily was that adopted by
his counsel, namely, withdrawing the
appeal that had been taken from the
sentence of the lower court in Cuba.
Perhaps the same result could have
been obtained by allowing the appeal
to be heard by the court st Madrid, but
this involved a long wait, and SO long
as the appeal was pending the Spanish
law did not admit of pardon So, for
the benefit of the prisoner, his counsel
at Havana was made aware of the state
OF the law. They readily agreed to
withdraw their appeal in this state Of
the case and now they are awaiting
with anxiety the possible interruption
of their plan by the action of the senate.

London. Feb. 25.-In the house Of
lords yesterday the Marquis of Sails
bury. replying to question from Lord
Dunraven, said that as the best means
OF placing the house in possession OF the
facts of the moment as regards Crete
he would read telegram sent wednes-
day evening to the British ambassadors
to the courts of the great powers. 1t
was as follows:
Inform the government to which
you are accredited that her majesty's
government purposes to make the FOL-
lowing declaration OF the policy which
they intend to pursue and which they
believe Is in accordance with the views
Of their allies:
Declaration of the Policy.
Firstly. The establishment of an az
illustrative autonomy in Crete as a
necessary condition for the termination
of the international occupation. Sec
ondly. That. subject to the above con-
ditions. Crete ought in their Judgment
to remain portion of the Turkish EN-
pire. Thirdly. The Turks and Greeks

this resolution. Fourthly. If Turkey
or Greece should when required persist

The premier called special attention to
the words when required" adding that
1t did not follow. in the case Of Turkey.
that her troops should be withdrawn
Immediately. on the other hand. he ex-
planned. the withdrawal of the Turkish
troops was n necessary condition of
autonomy. Therefore they would have
20 withdraw except so far as they had
been kept I'm the cases OF the island of
Samos and Servia. simply as an indica-
ton of sovereignty. For all effective
purposes and in respect Of all influences
upon the government and daily life of
the inhabitants the. Turkish troops
would evidently have to be withdrawn
when autonomy was established.
Greek Must Get Out Earlier.
The Greek troops, the premier
imagined, would be required by the
powers to withdraw at an earlier date.
He believed this was the course the
powers desired to pursue; but he could
not go further into detail. believing
that this Is all that could properly be
said mt this time in view of the powers
acting Ia concert. Continuing. the mar
uuis remarked: ''Of course the pro-
posals which her majesty's government
have ventured to present were recog-
nized by the other powers as those
animating their policy. 1t is impossible
for the present state of things in Crete
TO indefinitely continue"

WARE CoUNTY's SKELETON.
The County Authorities to Investi-
gate the Matter Thoroughly.

Waycross. Ca, June 19.-Andrew May,
13-year-old boy from near Waresboro, ar
rived here this morning. He was the first
person who saw the human skeleton
Thursday in Mosquito bay, near the pub
lie road. three miles this side Wares
boro. The youth is a son of Farmer May
and a more modest and unassumng lad
would be hard to find on farm. Andrew
was in the Office of the clerk of Ware su-
perior court. He said he and another boy
were with a party Of men, the Thigpen
brothers and others. hunting a fish lake
in Mosquito bay. His company was just
ahead Of him and ran over the skeleton
without seeing it. He called to his com
panion and the two examined the find, and
then reported 1t to the men The skele-
ton was half concealed among the bushes
and slightly sunk in the ground. The
clothes that still chung to the skeleton
were wet and widowed, some parts OF
them having rotted.
1t is supposed the body has lain there
since last August when the murder prob
ably occurred, and during the winter and
spring the place was covered with water
the dead man as mustache of that color
was found beside his skull Hogs had
rooted up the ground and the bones Of the
skeleton lay in heaps close together.
Judge Warren Lott, ordinary of Ware
county upon learning this morning that
there was a strong possibility of the dead
man being the unknown drummer, decided
to have the skeleton and apparel brought
to the court house, and the matter thor
oughly investigated. Deputy Sheriff Ca
son and another man went to Waresboro
and returned late this afternoon with the
skeleton and effects. The skeleton was
carried to the court house, where Or
binary Lott. Sheriff Mcclellan and Others
examined 1t. A careful examination of
the papers found with the skeleton was
begun.
a coroner's inquest will hardly be neces-
sary, Judge Lott says, because a thorough
examination of the papers will likely de-
velope all the available facts.
Mcmillan, the negro trusty convict of
the city chain-gang, died this morning,
his skull having been broken Thursday
with a shovel by Micky Thomas a free
negro empoye of the city Mcmillan at

Guyton, June 19.-The entertainment at
the town hall last night was well patron
lied, and quite a neat little sum was real
lied for the benefit Of the Baptist church.
The "Gipsy Scene" was good, and showed
that the young people had been well
trained. Miss Ada Rain and Messrs. Fer
guson and Shuptrine of Eden rendered
valuable service, and added very much to
the evenings entertainment.
The members of the Baptist church held
two services at the church to-day 1t
was called "a rally day." and there was
a large attendance. There was a bust
ness meeting and preaching during the
morning, and preaching in the afternoon.
Dinner was served at the church, and a
great many people were here from the
country There will be preaching Sunday
and Sunday night.
d. G. Heidi, Jr., came home yesterday.
He has been attending the state univer-
sity at Athens during the year. He has
distinguished himself as a debater. having
won the medal in a debating contest. He
also passed a creditable examinat ton for
the next higher class.
There seems to be some difficulty in Sc
curing a teacher for the high school here
who will remain longer than one scholastic
year. Three different principals have been
elected in the last three years, and the
board viii have to elect another this year.

Auguta. Ga, June 1s.-The third annual

The opening exercises will be held on

mon on Tuesday evening. About 125 dele
gates are expected.
A new weekly paper, the Lancet. made
it's appearance in Augusta to-day. Its
editorial announcement is that it intends
to tell the truth, and it begins by attack
ing the county convict system and ex-
penses, the gambling, which, it alleges,
goes on every Sunday at the barbecue at
Dan Bowles' resort in the southern su-
burbs of the city, and a general fusilade
against ballot frauds. 1t says 1t shall not
deal in social or personal scandals, but
shall be outspoken in dealing with public
matters and public officials. 1t made
rather a small beginning this week, but
promises to improve in future editions. 1t
is edited by r. f. Butler, well known In
Augusta and Macon newspaper circles.
To-day a young white woman walked to
the gates of the grounds surrounding the

FAINT about one month old. As soon as
she put down the bundle, she ran rapidly
away. She was seen and described to the
police but up to the present time has not
been identified nor apprehended. The child
is much too young to be at the asylum, and
unless the mother is discovered, the hos
pita. matron will turn it over to the author
tiles of the county to be disposed of as they
shall elect.

WHO Is The CHAMPI0N CYcL1STf

Answer-Edward c. Bald, the Barnes
White Flyer rider, premier bicyclist for
the seasons of 1s94-95-'96.
Note what the Press says of the two
foremost riders-Messrs.B Bald and Cooper
in companion Of their respective merits:
There has been so much talk and
speculation recently as to who was the
better man on the race track, Bald or
Cooper, that every body interested in hi
cycle riding has been waiting patiently
for these two rivals to meet and, now
that they have met in competition, E. G.
Bald has, to the satisfaction of every
one, demonstrated his greater speed; in
fact, it looks like Cooper is completely
outclassed by his famous rival as he
seems utterly incapable of winning from
Bald under any and all circumstances"
