WAR Of RETALIATION
Horrible Stories of Spanish Atr0ci-
ties In Porto Rico.
NATIVES WANT REVENGE
RoR-STRICKEN SPANIARDS
APPEAL TO AMERICANS.
American Military Commanders
Have Arrested twenty-five of
the Natives Who Have Been
Fomenting the Trouble-General
Miles Returns From the Front.

Ponce, Porto Rico, Aug. ia war
of retaliation against the Spanish resi-
dents of the island within the Ameri-
can lines is Observation-Disclosures for
the horrible outrages committed by the
Spanish troops at GALES, where over
so persons are said to have been ma
cheted by the soldiers. The revolving
details of the butchery of men and
women, the ravishing of young girls,
and nameless mutilations, have stirred
a cry for vengeance.
Early this morning the natives
burned the town of Gotta, seven miles
from here. The Spanish residents fled
for their lives. Throughout. the sur
rounding country the Spaniards are
terror stricken and are appealing 10
the Americans for protection.
The shops kept by the Spaniards
here, which were opened after the sign
ing of the peace protocol, have been
closed again through fear of the riot
erS.
Today's editions of two papers, which
historically demanded vengeance and
the expulsion of all Spanish-bo resi-
dents, were suppressed by the military
authorities, who are doing all that is
in their power to allay the fears of the
Spanish inhabitants.
Captain Evans, the provost marshal,
with two companies of the Nineteenth
infantry at his command, has doubled
the provost guard, but the troops have
difficulty in preventing individual cases
of persecution.
The natives who are fomenting the
trouble are of the lowest classes, and
many are criminals. Over 25 of the
ringleaders in the disturbances have
been arrested.
MILES RETURNS.
General Miles returned to his head
quarters here this afternoon. He was
greatly pleased by the appearance of
the troops at the Fl r. He witnessed
the target practice by the soldiers and
was present at a fiag-raising at Cen
eral Wilson's camp this morning,
which was accompanied by music and
cheers.
While at the front General Miles
communicated with General Macias re-
garding the depredations committed
between the lines. General Macias re-
piled courteousl!, and they jointly
agreed to apprebend the offenders near
their respective lines. General Macias
said the Spenish troops would begin
retiring shortly.
The heavens in the direction of
Yauco and Juan Diaz appeared to be
ablaZe last night and half a dozen big
fires have been reported, but no de-
tails have been received. The fires
were probably the work of natives en-
gagged in destroying Spanish property.
a small riot occurred here this morn
ing. adjoining General Miles head
quarters, but the disturbance was
quickly quelled. Colonel Clouse of Gen
eral Miles staff dispensing bowling
mob of Spaniards by fiourishing his
revolver. A.

WANT TO GO HOME.
Volunteers Send Petitions to Be
Mustered Out.


San Francisco, Aug. 2O.-The men of
almost every one of the volunteer reg
iments are sending petitions to the sec
rotary of war, requesting that they be
mustered out of the service. There are
very few of the officers with whom this
movement has any cOuntenance, and
efforts are being made to suppress it.
In the Twentieth Kansas regiment
the suppression of one petition by the
officers led only TO a more vigorous one
being placed on foot. Ninety-Seven men
in one company have signed the petit
ton, and all the other companies of the
regiment have a large showing.
Several men in the Seventh California
volunteers have started a similar petit
ton, with a much smaller number OF
names, however, and the First Wash
ington volunteers have drafted an ap-
peal to Secretary Alger, begging for
release from military duties

The Grand Lodge of the Independent
Order of ODD Fellows will meet in this
city in May. The assembly will no doubt be
largely attended, as the brethren of the
order have always evinced a particularly
kind feeling for Savannah. There is here
a spirit of good fellowship which runs
parallel with the spirit of Odd Fellowship,
and hence the mutual admiration.
There seems to be no good reason why
the commercial travellers and commercial
interests generally could not arrange to
have a gala week at the time the Odd
Fellows hold their meeting. In this man
ner the occasion could be made much
more attractive for all parties concerned.
BY May, Furthermore, it is probable that
the tourist business of the railroads will
be about over. and hence the railroad Off
Gals might be able to get within speaking
distance of each other at that time and
arrange for special rates.
1t seems to us that il would be well for
those who are interested in holding a fes-
tival here this year to confer with the
Odd Fellows and ascertain If a union of
interests cannot be effected. There are
many reasons for thinking that concerted
action for May week would be attended
with gratifying results.

Sugar senator's Favor the Treaty.


The assertion, so often made in some
newspapers. that the sugar trust is OPP
posed to the ratification of the Hawaiian
annexation treaty, deceives nobody who
knows anything of the question of Ha-
waiian annexation. For what reason
should the sugar trust oppose annexation?
The trust is not engaged in the production
of sugar. Its business is the refining of
sugar Therefore, what it wants is a very
high tariff on refined sugar and low tar
if on raw sugar. Indeed, it would like
to have raw sugar admitted free, pro-
vided It could have at the same time tar
iff on refined sugar that would shut out
sugar Of that kind.
In what way would the defeat of the Ha-
waiian annexation treaty benefit the sugar
trust? 1t certainly would not make raw
sugar any cheaper. If the annexation
scheme should be defeated and the treaty
with Hawaii. which admits Hawaiian SUI
gar free of duty, were abrogated, sugar
from Hawaiia would have to pay the
same tariff that Cuban sugar now pays,
and If the treaty should not be abrogated
Hawaiian sugar would stand upon exactly
the same footing that it does now. 1t is
nonsense, therefore, to say that the sugar
trust is opposing annexation.
In the event of annexation the sugar
planters of Hawaii would be benefited, in
all probability, because they would be put
on an equality with the sugar producers
of this country. They favor annexation
because they are afraid that if the annex
alton scheme should be defeated, the reci-
procity treaty, by which their sugar is
now admitted free of duty, would be alb
rogated, and then they would be on an
equality with the sugar producers of Cuba
and other foreign countries, so far as this
country is concerned. They would have
TO pay our tariff on raw sugar before they
could sell their sugar in our market
The beet sugar producers of this coun-
try are opposing annexation because they
believe it would tend to cheaper raw sugar,
the very thing the trust wants. The sugar
trust if it is taking any part in the an
nexation matter at all, is much more like
ly to be in favor of annexation than
against it, In fact, it is charged that the
sugar trust is secretly aiding the Cubans
with the hope that the result of the war in
Cuba will result in the annexation of that
island to this country. With it's enormous
capital it could purchase vast tracts of
rich sugar lands in Cuba, and make sugar,
which it could send to it's refneries in this
country, free of duty. With a high tariff
on refined sugar, such as there is now, it
could make immense profits.
Again, if the sugar trust were opposed
to annexation the senators who always
aid the sugar trust, would be against the
ratification of the Hawaiian treaty. AS
matter of fact, if reports are correct, they
are all in favor of it. The truth probably
is that the friends of the annexation
scheme. knowing that the popular feeling
is against the sugar trust, keep the report
that the trust is opposing the treaty aioat
with the hope of making friends for the
treaty.

There have been so many stories print
ed with regard to how De Lome's letter
became public that the truth is probably
buried under so great a pile of fiction that
it will never get out, or getting out will
never be recognized. In the midst Of all
of the theories advanced, that of the New
York Sun contains about as much to
commend 1t as any other. 1t is TO the ef-
feet that Senior Canalejas himself provid-
ed the way in which the letter reached
the public. Canalejas is an oppo-
nent of the political party now in power
in Spain. He, calculated that the publ
cation of the letter would cause an up
heaval in Madrid which would force Sa-
gasta and his ministry out of Office and
result In the reinstatement of the opposi-
ton party. He knew also that the publ
cation of the letter would help De LONE

Each in His Own Name.

From the Christian Register.
A fire mist and planet,
A crystal and a cell:
A jellytish and a saurian,
And caves where the cavemen dwell;
Then a sense of law and beauty
And a face turned from the clod-
Some call it Evolution,
And others call 1t God.
A haze on the far horizon
The infinite, tender sky;
The ripe rich tints of the cornfields,
And the wild geese sailing high;
And all over upland and lowland
The charm of the golden-rod-
Some of us call it Autumn, 2
And others call it God.
Like the tides on a crescent sea beach,
When the moon is new and thin,
Into our hearts high warnings
Come yelling and surgiug in
Come from the mystic ocean
Whose rim no foot has trod- IA
Some of us call it Longing,
And others cali 1t God.
A picket frozen on duty,
A mother Starved for her brood,
Socrates drinking the hemlock,
And Jesus on the rood;
The million who humble and nameless,
The straight, hard pathway trod-
Some cali it Conservation,
And others cali it God.
