WOULD ExALT JEFF DAVIS.
MIR. Blackburn Thinks Both Patriots
and Traitors Should Be HOnOred.

=
ATLANTA, Ca, March 19.-The Daily
Commercial, whose editor, B. M. Black
burn, is a candidate for the Democratic
nomination to Congress from the Atlanta
district, makes an editorial demand as a
prerequisite to that union which should ex-
list if war comes. The Commercial says:
I'm the event of war with Spain there
should be no division in the public senti-
ference in the practical display of patriot
ism on the part of the people of every Sec
ton. There is only one thing needed to
arouse the Southern people to the highest
point of enthusiastic interest The national
Congress should take action that will indi-
cate to cur people beyond question that this
is a common country bound together by
fits
What this action should be is thus de-
ser1bed: our people do not object to the
North honoring the memory of Lincoln.
but they do object to any dishonor being
Davis. Now if the North is really sim
cere in it's professions that this is com
mon country and the South is part
and parcel of 1T, let Congress pass a res
olution replacing the picture of Mr.. Davis
in the War Department put his name
back on Rock creek bridge and proclaim
that all the people of this country, of
every section = Davis, Lincoln. Lee and
Grant-were patriots. This being done. LET
President Mckinley withdraw his negro
appointees that are brought into in
vidious contact with Southern white peo-
pie and the South will take the whole
contract of settling this Cuban question
within thirty days, SO intense will be her
enthusiasm and unrestrained her devotion
If Congress can't rise to the standard of
manly magnanimty in this matter, then the
South will not effervesce, whatever a few
place hunters may say or do"
The part played by the South in the wars
of the past gives the Commercial reason to
think that her people will be needed again
when it says: "All this shows that we live
under a common government, which is ober-
ated by prejudiced sectionalists to the hurt
injury, and humiliation of the section that
is the hotbed of American sentiment and
has contributed more than any other sec
ton to the strength and independence of
this country. The war of the revolution
was won by the South in the main, and
Washington, the Father of his country
was Southern man; Southern eloquence
fired the Nations heart, and Southern val
threw off the British yoke. This was
even more notable in the war of 1872, when
by Southern soldier. In the Mexican war
there was not a regiment from the whole of
the New England States, whereas the cred
1t of that struggle fell largely to jefferson
Davis. Southern man, who has since been
the recipient of all the spleen that has been
ell these years collecting in New England
against the South.
Mr.. Blackburn says If he were in Con-
gress he would introduce such a resolution
as he describes above. end he believes it
would pass with a rush.

RECALL OF THE MONTGOMERY.
Order Was Given, 1t Is Said, at Consul
General Lees Request.

BOSTON, Mass, March ia. Maurice
Lows Key West sNecial to the Globe says:
The return of the cruiser Montgomery to
Key West has caused considerable specula-
ton. which the authorities have declined to
end by giving reasons. The real reasons
are interesting, and show how grave the
situation is. The accuracy of my statement
cannot be questioned. The Montgomery
was ordered to return from Havana harbor
at the suggestion of Consul General Lee.
He pointed out to the authorities that the
retention of the cruiser In Havana harbor
a source of the circulation of rumors,
and a menace rather than protection In
case of outbreak. She could not land suffi-
cient force to be of MUCH, II. any, protection
to American interests, while she was not
sufficiently powerful to cope with the guns
of the forts and Spanish war ships in case
of sudden declaration of hostilities In
view of these circumstances Lee recon-
mended the withdrawal of the Montgomery
and the substitution of the Fern or some
other vessel of the same character. The
Fern can perform equally good service as
the Montgomery in the event that Lee or
other Americans have to leave Havana in
a hurry and the Fern stands less danger
of being fired on than would vessel of
war.
General Lee recommended the sending of
the Iowa to Havana to bring back the court
OF inquiry here. 1t will be remembered that
a few days ago rumor was printed that
the administration had decided to send the
Iowa to Havana to impress the Spaniards
with the power of our navy. This was at
Lees suggestion. He told our government
that the Spaniards could not be made to
believe that we had a formidable navy I'M
less they had ocular demonstration of
the fact. The SpaniardS, he reported, be.
lieved the Maine was the finest ship in the
American navy, and that her destruction
made it impossible for the United States
to think about fighting Spain.
TO correct this impression General Lee
suggested that the Iowa should go into
Havana harbor, take the court of inquiry
on board and speed out again, an operation
which would give the Spaniards some ma
terial for sober reflection. When the fact

Ger were so urgent that the Iowa was not
sent to Havana. They influenced the de-
partment to accept Lees suggestion and to
order the Montgomery back to Key West.
The department acted on Lees suggestion
as to the Montgomery.

Admiral POpOff, Inventor of IA Circular
War Ship That Was Not "A Success.

ST. PETERSBURG, March 19.-Admiral
Popoff, aid-de-camp of the Gear, is dead.
Admiral Popoff's name has not been very
prominently before the public of late years,
but he held a very influential position in
the Russian Admiralty a constructor
twenty or thirty years ago. He was the
inventor of the circular ironclads, which he
expected to revolutionze naval warfare,
and which excited lively curiosity in naval
circles in the days of their first appear
ance. They had screw propellers all around
their circumference all or most of which
could be worked independently, the idea
being that the vessels could go backward
or forward or turn around at pleasure, thus
providing for instant attack in any direc-
items. Theoretically. with their low free
board, extensive range. strong defensive
and powerful guns, they were most for
ruidable craft. but practically their beha-
Vior in & seaway was not encouraging. and
the construction of them was abandoned.

what the spaniards Say.

ST. LOUIS, March 19.--The Havana corre-
spondent of the lobe-Democrat says: Since
the departure of the Montgomery, there has
been a disposition here among the Span
iards to treat her arrival as merely move
upon the part of the United States to i'm
press upon them the strength of the naval
force which that country may draw upon in
case of war. There are also open declara-
tions made that the cruiser was ordered
back to Key West owing to the representa-
tons made by Spain to the effect that her
presence in Havana harbor was unwelcome.
The irreconcilables have made much of this
report and have industriously circulated it..
They are approaching the exultant mood,
and claim to see evidences that the Wash
ington government is weakening. This feel
ing is not so apparent among the better in
formed. but there is abundant proof that
the departure of the American war ship
has been a source of great satisfaction.
The harbor is still picketed and closely
watched by the Spaniards, who seem to fear
that something may befall the war craft
sent over by Spain. The waters of the bay
which stretch necklike in the distance are
constantly patroled. Along the sea wall
there is occasionally to be seen q sentinel
or a corporal of the guard as he stands with
his elbows resting upon the Old and crum-
stands looking toward La Machina wharf is

picturesque shipping at the wharf. In the
bay are the Spanish war ships, while fur
Their beyond is a dark mass about which
there are a number of tugs with men busiy

AS the eye sweeps the coast line Moro
Castle comes into view, the formidable ap-
pearing structure upon which Spain will
depend much in case of war. Through the

stands the Maine went to her doom. and
