The grand jury failed to indlet Mrs. Mil
lie Morris on the charge Of larceny after
trust preferred by J.. F. Culloden Gull
loden claimed that Mrs. Morris owed him
balance of $3.50 on $50 he had intrusted
10 her Keeping several months ago, when
he trst came to Savannah. Mrs. Morris
aomltted having the money, but she was
ADVISED by her attorney not to give it to
Cul!oden, which she did. The refusal was
agent for Mrs. Morris and her husband,
taken certain articles from their bath es-
Enlistment on Drayton street that would
more than counter balance the sum she
owed him. This view of the matter did
not please Culloden, who took
otus warrant for larceny
after trust against her in Justice
Naughtin's court. She was arrested, but
gave bond in the sum of $500. furnished by
Mr.. w. c. McDonough at the solicitation
Of her husband.
Culloden was dismissed by a jury in
the superior court few days ago. He
had been accused of larceny after trust
by Morris, who had left the city Aug. 26
for New York, accompanied by his WIFE
He said his business was in a prosper.
Gus condition when he left, but on his
return he found things had gone to the
dogs and many articles left in charge Of
Culoden, who was manager of the Turk
ish bath establishment during his absence
had disappeared. 1t was with the theft
of these things that Culloden was charged.
He admitted that he had pawned certain
of them. but said that it was necessary
for him to do SO, as he was not making
enough in the business to sustain himself
In the proprietors' absence though Morris
says he left $3.50 with him on leaving.
Both parties have friends who maintain
that each is in the right in the matter.
Those Of Culloden think he has been i'm
posed upon, while those of Mrs. Morris
and her husband are indignant at what
they consider an outrage in her arrest.

EXPOSE TRUE CONDITIONS.
But let a man have the courage to
point out to the people these things,
show them their true condition, dem.
onstrate to them the fact, acquaint
them with the truth, that they are the
victims of their own folly by sanction
ing with their votes the wrongs that
Cypress them, and he is at once brand
ed as dangerous public enemy, one
bent on destruction. He is instantly
assailed as an "agitator," "dema.
gogue," radical" and an "anarch'

are incapable of formulating an intel
ligent argument or of comprehendine
the force of proposition, and those
who are consciously defending q
wrong; these are the two classes who
readily distinguish themselves in the
disreputable business OF calling
names. These two classes are ever ac'
tive allies. They are at all times pre-
pared to make combined attack upon

ment, who dares take the liberty tc

LADEN WITH GOLD.
Fifteen Men Return from Dawson
City Possessing Fortunes.

Victoria, B. c., Oct. lion the steam
err City of Seattle, which arrived Sun
day from Skaguay and Dyea, were about
100 disappointed miners who are re-
turning after having given up all hopes
of getting into the gold fields, and
also Is successful miners who are re-
turning from the Klondike. Each one
of the latter party has struck it rich.
Some were bringing out as much gold
dust as they could carry, and drafts on
the Alaska Commercial company, with
which they have deposited the rest. The
gold dust and drafts brought out by
this party are over 100000 in value,
with individual holdings running all
the way from $4,000 to $15O,OOO. All
have good claims and will return. They
bring news of rich discoveries on French
gulch, Hunter creek, Henderson and
Sulphur creeks. All say that the first
ship down the Yukon in the spring will
bring over 200 tons of gold.
All report that at least six weeks be-
fore they left the residents of Dawson
City and vicinity were on short ratons.
For several days the stores had refused
to sell food and no amount of gold
would make them reconsider their de-
cision. No one has starved, but many
had hard work to get food. The Alaska
Commercial company. realizing that$he
men to whom they were selling were
getting corner on provisions, objected
to the miners storing the provisions and
refused to sell any more. The miners,
seeing impending calamity, were hur-
rying away from Dawson City, and now
it is said, hundreds are on their way up
the Yukon intending to come utover the
Dalton trail and hundreds are making
their way down the Yukon.

wEYLERs BLUFF.
Truth About the Demonstration I'm
Havana I'm His Behalf.

AAuSuhA ftIB bcnuI1.
Havana, Oct. lit is now definitely
settled that Gen. Weyler will leave here
October 20 for Spain. In this connec-
ton it is said that the governor of
Puerto Rico will assume control of af-
fairs in Cuba until such time as Gen.
Blanco reaches that island. The cap
tain general at one time had strong
hopes that he would be permitted to re-
main in Cuba, and to this end the demon
stration was inspired. Bands of music
helped to draw a crowd, which was
composed chiefly of volunteers and
ultra-Spaniards. There is no doubt in
certain circles that Gen. Weyler in
tended the demonstration as "blutf''
to intimidate the liberal government in
to allowing him to remain, but it failed
to have the desired effect.
Madrid, Oct. 11.-Premier Sagasta
gave audience to a number of Cuban
senators. He informed them that firm
ness tempered with mercy would be his
policy; that the government would de-
vote itself before all else to the pacitica-
ton of Cuba, and would then introduce
in the island a model administration.
The government, the premier added,
considered that the pacification of Cuba
would facilitate the restoration of peace
in the Philippine Islands, where the Sit
10 tion now is serious. 1t is known that
the liberal party in general will aid this
humane policy.
So anxious is the queen for the in
auguration of new regime in Cuba that
Gen. Blanco leaves Madrid for Havana
which was to leave Cadiz on Sunday,
has been ordered to wait for Blanco.
London, Oct. Lit would appear
that Sagasta's promises are about to
be kept. The new Spanish cabinet held
a meeting Saturday night at Madrid
and decided that Weyler should be
stripped of office at once.
London, Oct. 1.-THE Times COM
menting editorially on the Cuban situa-
ton says:
eff Senior sagasta fails to adopt bold
reform policy in Cuba, likely to disarm
American jingoism, it might turs out to
have been wiser to have left Gen. Weyler
to finish the war in his own fashion"
The Standard, after asking why Gen.
Weyler is recalled. if it is intended to
continue the campaign, says:
at seems only too plain that Senior
Sagasta's course hardly deserves the name
of policy. 1t Is almost device for parry
ing Americas importunate questions. We
suspect that Gen. Woodford presented
something very like an ultimatum and
that, but for American pressure, nothing
would have been heard of autonomy. We
doubt that a Cuban settlement is much
nearer. There will be more fighting and
more negotiation. Senior Sagasta must walk
warily If he proposes to be more than
diplomatic match for the American am
bassador On the other hand, the Wash
ington cabinet has need to be circum-
spect. Spain has only Cuba and honor
left, and any open interference with her
rights over Cuba would kindle fire Of
resentment in which all talk Of autonomy
would disappear and the struggle attain
wider dimensions"

TO CURE THE FEVER.
Foreign Scientist Claims to Have Dis
covered Remedy.

Galveston, Tex, Oct. 11.-Dr. John
Guiteras, government yellow fever ex-
pert, who for the past four days has
been closely Investigating the prevail
| ing sickness here, reported to Surgeon
General Wyman that he has discovered
four cases of yellow fever. Some of the
| local physicians do not agree with DIR.
Guiteras in his diagnosis, but DIR. West,
member of the board of health, does,
! and says he has two well-detined cases
of yellow fever now under treatment.
Despite the assurances of DR.. Guiteras
| that there is no need OF alarm or excite
| ment or necessity of leaving the city,
a perfect hegira has set in, and every
regular train leaving the city is packed
with people fleeing from the disease,
| and special trains are in demand. In
tense excitement prevails, and harsh
expressions are used against DIR.
Guiteras, who has simply done his duty,
and confirmed belief that has been
prevalent among those familiar with
yellow fever that the dengue that has
been epidemic here for the past month,
was mild type of yellow jack.
New Orleans, Oct. 1.-The fever sit
uation here grew no better Sunday.
New cases appeared in various portions

sons, and one death. The state board
