ship-Wsylsr Declares Hs Leaves With
Serene Conscience.

Havana, Oct. 30.-Captaln General
Weyler, just prior to his embarkation
for Spain today, addressed the assem-
bled crowds gathered in his honor, In
the course of his acknowledgement of
their sympathetic references to his ap-
preaching withdrawal, he declared
that he had always done his duty in
accordance with his sense of patriot
ism, and would leave Cuba with Sc
rene conscience"
He had never cared, he said, for the
criticisms of sympathizers with rebel
lion, because he always felt assured Of
the kindness and wisdom of his pol
icy."
"My release from my post and its
responsibilities" he said, "did not sur
prise me. L had expected it from the
death of Senior Canovas, not believing
that any political leader would be
strong enough to sustain me when the
United States and the rebels together
were constantly demanding that
Spain should come to q settlement"
Gas for the future, I offer myself
and shall always hold myself in readi-
ness to serve the party aiming to re-
tain Cuba for Spain"
General Weylsr issued the following
proclamation to the inhabitants of the
island:
"More accustomed to the inclemency
OF the camp than to the cnervating
pleasures Of the camp, | am rude and
concise. You all know the state of
affairs when l arrived, and are con-
vinced that peace was shortly estab-
lished in the island up to the Jucaro
trochs.
II believe the rebellion SO reduced
as to guarantee the Spanish sover-
elgnty, and that only by artful meas
ures and by completely unworthy of
Spaniards will the enemies Of Spain
be able to imperil it,"

SchOOlbOok Investigators Entirely
Disregard the Governors
Plan.
ONE MEMBER REFUSES TO SIGN.
Ponitentary COMMITTEES Goes to Millodgsvill'
to See the States Land, Which, it is
Said, is Unrontabls.


Atlanta, Oct. 30.-The report of the
state sohoolbook commission was
made to the governor today. through
Commissioner Glenn, the chairman.
Mr.. Beauchamp, one of the members
of the commission, refused to sign the
report, but will make a minority re-
port opposing the plan of oheapening
the books recommended by the ma
jority.
Beauchamp believes in state uni
formity, which is the governors
scheme, while all tho other commits
sioners, after reviewing the expert
ence of other states, advise a la " au-
thorizing the county boards to nego-
tiate directly with the publishers after
receiving competitive bids.
This will cut the dealers out, as the
books Will be furnished the public at
actual cost, without being handled by
middlemen.
The governor made no reference to
tha textbook question in his message,
although the commission was created
on his recommendation. The fact that
his ideas have been disregarded has
caused comment.
The penitentiary committee left for
MilledgeviIle this evening to see the
states property which is proposed to
be used as convict farm. They will
return Monday. 1t is believed they
will report against the land, as 1t is
uprentable.

Virginia eleven defeated the Uniyer-
sity of Gsorgia's men in the football
game here this afternoon By score of
II to 4.
The Virginiaus outplayed the Geor~
gians at every point. The game was
poorly attended, owing to the bad
management of those who had the af-
fair in charge. The university also
brought up the old contention about
gate receipts which has so often dis
gusted Atlanta, and the result was
that society did not turn out.

Low CENGURED FOR UNTIMELY BID,
The Funeral Service of the Deceased to Be
Held In Grand Central Palace Inter
ment in Greenwood Cemetery.

New York, Oct. 30.-The specula-
tion as to which of the mayoralty can
didates will fall heir to the votes that
would have gone to Henry George, is
superceding the discussion of issues
OF the municipal campaign. Compar-
atively few regard it as likely that the
younger George can poll more than a
fraction OF the votes that would have
gone to his father.
The general opinion is that the Sc
lection Of the son to carry the banner
let fall from his fathers dying hands,
while appropriate and touching In the
abstract, is uniting in practical poll
tics. So far at least, as the public Is
aware, the younger George does not
represent in any essential degree the
philosophy of his father.
There 10 a disposition here In both
republican and democratic camps to
dispute the claim put forth by Low
yesterday that Mr.. George, had he
clearly foreseen his demlse, would have
advised his followers to go into the
battle on Tuesday next under the COL
ors of the Citizens union. There is
also much said about the alleged i'm
prOpriety liz Mr.. Low putting forth for
what his opponents term bid for the
George vote while ths corpse was un-
cofined
The latest speculations are as fol-
lows: Van WYck against the field 5
to 2, Van Wyck against Low IA to 5,
Van Wyck against Tracy7 to l. Low
against Tracy to l. These odds are
regarded as more closely indicative of
the public feeling than any shat have
been posted before.
