sAvANNAH's COMMERCE. SAFE.
Board of Trades Notification to For
eign Exchanges.


Action was taken yesterday by the
Board of Trade in reference to the present
shipping situation, at a special meeting
called for the purpose.
AS the result of the meeting the president
was instructed to wire The American
Chamber of Commerce at Paris, and the
London Board of Trade, which he did, as
follows:
Commerce with port of Savannah abso-
lutely safe. Give this statement publicity"
Both cablegrams were sent at once. The
one to the London Board of Trade was
signed by President Purse of the Board of
Trade, and the British consul, Mr.. A
Hardness.
The cablegram to the American Cham
Der of Commerce at Paris was signed by
President Purse, and the French consul,
M. F. Chastenet.
The situation. IS explained by Presi-
dent Purse and other members of the
Board of Trade is simply this: The ship
owners on the other side seem TO be under
the impression that there is a general de-
moralisation of business in the American
ports on account of the war with Spain,
whereas nothing could be further from
the truth. There is as much business here
for the ships as usual at this season. On
account of the war war rates are being
charged upon all marine insurance risks,
thus greatly increasing the cost of ton
mage. This is very unreasonable, the ship
pers here think, as a British or other for
eign vessel coming here for
cargo is as safe as
she over was in the piping times of peace.
The Americans will not Interfere with
them and the Spanish dare not They
have more on their hands now than they
&c re for and would not knowingly embroll
themselves with any other nation.
As a result of this timdity of the for
eign shipping interests there is prospec-
tive tonnage famine at the port ship
brokers being unable to secure ships for
their customers here. With the navai
stores crop coming in and the lumber
trade languishing for lack of ships, the
shippers realize that unless they can free
the minds of the foreign ship-owners and
brokers of the impression that business
here is In a demoralized state, the com
meroe of the port will be seriously Grip
pied

ORGANIZATIONS WILL KEEP UP.
Governor VIII Appoint Temporary
Officers for Home Military.

Governor viii Appoint Temporary
Officers for Home Military.
The Identity of the Savannah military
commands will not be altered by SO many
of the members leaving for service in
the volunteer army Of the United States
Though many of the companies will have
had a number of men taken from their
ranks, they will maintain their organiza-
ton.
Col. VIM. Garrard of the battalion of
Volunteer Guards says the organization
win not be disturbed. 1.-THE Savannah
Volunteer Guards, "ohe said, will remain
in Savannah. Those men who are already
in the companies will become the nuclei
for their upbuiloing. In accordance with
the rules of the commands, to the usual
strength in peace. They will retain the
names of the organizations as they have
been known, those commands going away
having no claim at all upon them.
What about the officers of the compa-
MES, colonel; will they be elected by the
menu"
NO" replied Col. Garrard to this, 'the
officers for the companies will be tempo
rary and VIII be appointed by the Gov
ernor. An officer will be appointed to take
my place as com ,nander of the battalion
of Guards, and company officers will also
be appointed The officers who volunteer
ed and get theh commissions in the vol
unteer service Of the United States do not
resign their commissions in the Georgia
Volunteers. They are given leave of alb
sence from the Georgia Volunteers indeh-
nitely, these leaves expiring as soon as
they return TO the state after having been
discharged from the service of the United
States. When they return, the officers will
resume command of the companies"
Two companies of the First Regiment,
Georgia Volunteers, are left. These are
the German Volunteers and the Oglethorpe
Light Infantry Both Maj. Edward
Karow and Maj. w. g. Rockwell are still
in the city. Maj. Karow is senior officer,
and will be in command of the regiment,
as the organization of the regiment will
doubtless be continued. The officers OF
the regiment who are still in the city be-
lieve the remaining members OF the COM
mands that left will be ready to maintain
the organizations, so as to be in readiness
for any second can that may come for the
troops or to handle anything that may
arise in the way of trouble within the
boundaries of the state.
Some OF the companies that have gone
and will go later, have the major portion
by far, of their number remaining, and
the addition of only few members will he
necessary to bring the companies to a
very respectable footing. There seems to
be but little, if any, disposition to allow
the companies to sink into nothing, and
the Organizations will be kept up.

TO GUARD AGAINST DISEASE.
Health officer LeHardy's Questions
for the Surgeon General.

Health officer LeHardy's Questions
for the Surgeon General.
Health oficer LeHardy has by direction
of the sanitary board, written Surgeon
General Wyman of the marine hospitable
service for information on three impor-
tant points.
First, the latter states. it is the desire of
the board to act in concert with the Unit
ed States marine hospital service in all
matters calculated to prevent yellow
fever epidemic here. Second, the board is
DESTROYS Of knowing If the marine hospi-
tai service has made or expects to make
any provision near this point to accornmo-
date refugees or wounded or sick soldiers
from Cuba that may be landed in this
neighborhood or IF we are expected to
provide this ourselves"
Third, Whether the law requiring the de-
tention of vessels three days after being
disnfected from April 1, to Nov 1, is a
general law. or only applies TO
southern ports. If general. why are
comply with the laws? If not general, why
is this port included?
DR.. LeIfardy states that the closed sea-
son here does not go into effect until May
To- and that this is full early, no epI-
demic of yellow fever having ever OCCUR
red here before August. The summer COM
nerce of the port, he states, has already
been greatly damaged by these quaran
tine laws and the enforcement of the rule
requiring detention to begin April l would
work sull further harm.
DR.. LeHardy discussed this feature at
some length and inquired of the surgeon
general If something could not be done to
improve the situation.
In conclusion. DR.. LeHardy informs the
surgeon general in a postscript that in
the event the war with Spain should force
the government TO expose it's troops to
yellow fever and the fever should develop
among them, having had considerable
successful experience in dealing with yei-
low fever, he places his services at the
disposal of the surgeon general to take
charge of fever hospital, should he be
needed in such capacity.

BETRAYED by A SPANISH CLERK.
Mp. A. Il. MOyncIO's Experience With
m CastiIIian EmpIOye.

Mr.. A. E. Moynelo had an ugly trick
played upon him by a Spanish employe
recently. As many people are aware, Mr..
Moynelo Is a native Cuban, though now
an American citizen. Naturally his sym
pathies have been very much aroused in
behalf of his former countrymen during
their destructive and devastating effect
fer freedom. The prospect Of intervention
by the United States was hailed with de-
light by Mr.. Moynelo.
When the members of the Cotton TX
change met some time ago for the purpose
of adopting peace resolutions Mr.. Moynelo
was one of the eleven members of the OK
change who voted against the resolution,
ana in conversation with his friends he
expressed his disapproval of the action of
the exchange.
Mr.. Moyuelo had a Spaniard in his en-
ploy as clerk who, 1t seems, was not
pleased with the action and sentiments OF
his employer. In his shipping business
Mr.. MoyneIo had dealings with a num-
Der of Spanish houses not alone in. Spain,
but chiefly in South American countries.
In fact, he had been engaged in the ef-
fort TO build up trade with the latter coun-
tries. The clerk prepared a circular let
ter and sent it to all the Spanish houses
with which his employer had dealings,
and also to a number of Spanish newspa-
pers, giving an account of his employer s
pro-Cuban sympathies and his desire TO
bring on war between Spain and the United
States. Very probably the clerk made no
effort to understate the case.
Mr.. Moynelo was entirely in the dark as
to the Spanish mine which was being laid
under his business enterprises until re-
Gently he began to receive letters from his
former customers, inclosing clippings from
Spanish newspapers, giving an account Of
his perfidy, as they termed it. The
Spaniards evidently regarded 1t outrageous
that Mr.. Moyneo should seek business
from Spanish houses and a the same time
seek to bring on war between Spain and
the United States for the benefit of the in
surgeut Cubans. The clerk who was re-
sponsible for the mischief having already
left the city, Mr.. AIoynelo was helpless to
do anything in retaliation for the injury
which had been done him.
Mr. Moynelo left yesterday for the
North. To a Morning News reporter who
saw him at the train he said that he was
going to see his daughter, Mrs. Hartridge
in Baltimore, and from there he would go
to New York on business. He would not
admit that there was any truth in the re-
port that he was going to Washington to
offer his services to the government In the
capacity of a guide and interpreter with
the Cuban army of invasion.

COAST DUTY on CUBA.
GAS Troops VIII he Divided-ArtiI-
IerN for COaMt Defense.


A dispatch from Washington giving the
disposition to be made of the volunteer
troops from the several states announces
that one regiment from Georgia will be
sent TO Tampa, probably to become part
of the army of invasion of Cuba, and ono
regiment and two light batteries will be
held subject to the orders Of the depart
ment commander as a reserve and for
coast defense
This means that the Chatham Artillery
ana one of the two Georgia regiments will
do warlike duty at Tybee and elsewhere on
the coast, depending on the fcrlorn hope
of a possible attack by a Spanish ship in
order to get a chance shot at a Spaniard
Perhaps some Of the fellows who con
tended that the artillery should be used
for coast defense purposes are sorry now
that they did not enlist. Any way, the
Chathams will have the pleasure of drill
ing with modern guns, which they hope
the government will allow them to retain
when the war is over.
Which of Georgia. two regiments will
be sent TO Tampa is a question which af-
fords considerable room for speculation,
Col. Brown is the ranking officer In the
Georgia service just now, and as a West
POINTER ana regular army oincer ne may
claim the honor of having his regiment as
signed to the post of danger
On the other hand the First Regiment
has always ranked high for efficiency and
discipline, and with such men as Col
Lawton and Lieut.. Col. Brooks at the
head of it the new organization is likely to
maintain the reputation of the old.
The First has somewhat the start of the
second regiment and the probabilities are
that the men are a little further advanced
in the duties of the soldier. AS the gov
eminent wants tho troops for
the invading army as soon
as possible the best drilled and
best disciplined regiment is likely 10 have
the call. Neither Col. Lawton nor Lieut.
Col. Brooks have gone in simply for the
pleasure of holding an army commission,
and it is safe to say that they will not fail
to seek the post of honor and of danger
If the disposition of the troops is as stat
ed in the dispatch, il as fortune, that the
Savannah volunteers are divided between
the two regiments. Whichever regiment
goes to Cuba, only one-half Of Savannah's
force Is exposed to the danger of yellow
fever, while the other half win remain
safely on this side.

MERrDnTH ON THE MAYFLOwER
The Young Man who Deserted His
Bride of a Day Joined the Navy.


Bride of a Day Joined the Navy.
Eugene w. Merdeth, who was recently
a clerk at Collats, and who disappeared
suddenly Just after getting married SEINE
weeks ago, has been heard from.
Mr.. Collat has a letter from the young
man in which he says he has joined the
navy and has been assigned to duty on
the Mayflower Merideth says the May
flower led the squadron on the first trip
to the Cuban coast, and on one occasion
she ventured so close TO Moro Castle
that with the aid of field glass the SEN
tinels could be plainly seen. The wreck
of the Maine was also in full view. The
Spaniards did not attempt to fire on the
Mayfiower, Merideth says, and the navvies
were somewhat disappointed, as they
wanted to drop a few shells in the fort
and destroy it.
Merideth says all Of the boys of the
navy are anxious for chance to fight
and are eager for the time when they will
have a chance TO pounce down upon the
Spanish fleet and forts.

food. A telegram was received yesterday
by the general freight department of the
Plant System; stating that 1t had been
learned that 100000 pounds of rations are
to be transported soon to the encamp-

quantity of food. and the railroads will
continue to enjoy a good thing out of the

A POOR
Algeria II N Place which Coionists
should Avoid.

According to French correspondent,
Algeria is about the last place in the
whole world that n c~olouist ought TO 90
10. The temperature makes both agri-
cultural and commercial success impus-
sible. The country is n bastard region,
neither European nor colonial. If it
were two degrees further south, or ten
degrees further north. all would be
changed. In the former case il would
he an industrial paradise that would
beat ST. Domingo, Ceylon and India, be-
cause, being AT the very doors Of France.
il would be a suburb of Europe, whittier
15,000,000 or 10000, 900 cmigrants would
go 10 cultivate coffee. indigo. vanilla.
sugar, cotton, pepper and other colonial
products. If Algeria were moved fur
ther north. its mineral wealth. al pres
ent incapable OF exploitation, would en-
able il to- rival Normandy, Auvergnc,
Beaunne and Picardy. AS II is, every
thing is blasted by the climate. The
sugar cane has no sugar! il is inferior
bamboo. The coffee berry is empty.
The cotton Is too short for spinning.
The cocoa palm bears no fruit; the in
digo plant comes to nothing; the pine
apple will not ripcn; and the vanilla
natures only in a hot-house. None Of
the spices will compare with the prod
ucts Of Brazil or India. Corn becomes
hard in the third year: a mealy potato
is unknown. Oxen in four generations
dwindle from 700 or 800 pounds to 300.
Fowls are poor; fruit is wormy; and
even the banana is lavorlcss and pasty.
There are n few good oranges: but the |
wine Is acrid and rough, the sugar of |
the grape not being amenable to entire
conversion into alcohol. Even the hu-
mar race is subject to the universal de-
generation. |
