Warfare.
CITY OF MEXICO, Jan. 25.-Various
travellers just arriving from Cuba con-
firm the capture Of Santa Clara by the Gu
bans and also bring news that the insur-
gents have been fighting in tho near vi
cinity of Havana, and, few days ago,
wrecked passenger train within two
miles of that city. Two young English
mon, direct from Cuba-Harry E. York
and Lee A. Hervey-have reached this
city after having passed several weeks in
Cuba and with the insurgent army part
Of the time and tho remainder in the field
ith the Spanish troops Hervey has re-
ceiyed shot tn rough the left arm. They
are preparing report for Senator Cam
eron, which will bs forwarded to Wash
ington in fow days The Cubans are
not in want OF men, but money, ammuni-
ton and medicine There are not over
25, 200 Cubans, while the Spanlards and
volunteers now number 2S5, 900 men,
mostly very young and not good fighting
material.
All operations are in the nature of
guerilla warfare, and both sidos are
systematically burning plantations and
tho country will bs reduced to barbarism.
The Cubans are expecting to be favored
by Mckinley, and expect Immediately on
his Inauguration he will recognize their
balligerency il not their independence.
Hervey gives graphic account of the
capture OF Santa Clara by the insurgents,
where the utmost gallantry was displayed
and thc Spnniards being overcome by the
magnificent valor of the patriots. Hervey
says it was told him in the Cuban camp
TINT Maceo had his lower jaw shot away,
but was alive and recuperating.
General Gomez is not treating for peace,
and although there is peace party among
the Cubnns it Is a small ono The capture of
the town of Aguteo by the Cubans was
brilliant piece Of work. Three thousand
Spaniards held tho place, but the Cubans
showed better generalship.
At Santa Clara the Cubans took and
held tho town just long enough to ruin it,
Hervoy does not consider there Is any
decided prospect of victory for either side.

MS the Woodall had been purchased here

about your pigeon-toed daughters tacky

KEEP YOUR MONEY At HOME.

The Newman Herald finds moral IN
Building and Loan Association, and it
is one that should have good effect in
every Georgia town. Especially should
it teach a lesson in Dawson. There are
numerous schemes of this sort in exist
ence, and many of them have sue
Ceeded in catching our people with the
glittering inducements that they offer.
1t is safe to assert that a good many
thousand dollars Of Dawson money are
tied up in these various concerns, and
each month hundreds more are sent
away to pay dues and assessments
on stock held here If this money
had been kept at home it would have
furnished enough capital to build and
equip a knitting mill, and almost
enough to build a cotton factory. 1t
could have found safe and profitable in
vestmentin other enterprises, and the
whole community would have been
benefited. AS it is, there is no GER
tainty that investors will get their
original capital back, much less prof
it. What is more, they may be held
liable for debts incurred by dishonest
and incapable men who are put into
control of these companies. The pru-
dent, far-seeing man with money to
invest can always do better with his
surplus means at home anyway, if he
will take the trouble to look around.
Keep your money at home.
