APACHEs GO TO CUBA,
Thirty-One Warriors Will Join the

ATHENS, Ga, March Much excite
ment has been caused by the news that
thirty-one Apache Indians were passing
through the lower edge of the county, en-
route for Florida, whence they will pro-
coed to Cuba. The Indians had come on
horseback from the Indian territory. They
were fully armed and their chief said they
would be taken off the coast by a filibuster
which would land them on Cuban shores
where they would ally themselves with the

In a very complete account of the Jap
enese battle ship Yashima, in Casters
Magazine, e. II. T. d'Eyncourt writes:
The speed trials Of the vessel occupied
two days The first day was devoted to
hours duration. The mean speed attained
during the trial was 1927 knots, while the
mean Of four runs, taken over the admiral
ty measured mile. was 10 40 knots, or more
than knot in excess of the guaranteed
speed of 1Sl4. The engines developed just

Tie speed of nearly 1917 knots establishes
the Yashima the fastest armorciad in
the world, and, when IL is considered that
only a few years ago this was the utmost

speed, could attain, il is distinction of
which the japanese may well be proud.
Notwithstanding The severe test of the
forced-draft trial, everything had worked so
well and smoothly that it was decided to
make the trial with natural draft and open
stokeholds on the day following. The ves-
sci anchored on the Tyne for the night,
everybody sleeping on board, which enabled
an early start to be made with the six
hours continuous steamng at full speed.
The mean speed attained during this pc
Rod was 17.26 knots, while the mean OF
four runs over the measured mile gave

A -SOu1kern Command.

Other org62iadions military in character
are also being formed and there are subtle
hints in uptown circles in which the south
ern contingent moves that measures are
being taken to form a regiment of young
scions from the southland. It is said that
Mr.. Fulton r. Gordon Is acting as recruit
ing officer for this organization, and that
in case of hostilities Mr.. George Pickett,
son Of Gen. Pickett. who led the famous
charge at Gettysberg will command the
regiment. Mr.. Pickett, as well-knoWn. was
recently made q colonel on the STAFF of the
governor of Virginia. 1t will be readily
seen from this that the District will give
its generous quota Of men to the service
Of Uncle Sam in case he needs It.

Cal. c.. @, Conn says in his paper,
the Elkhart Truth; "Congress will
make serious mistake in attempt
inc to raise war funds in any other
way than by sale of bonds, The
collection of at least S3OO.ooo,Ooo a
year would work an immediate hard
ship on every one, while a bond is
sue would defer the payment OF the
expenses of the war for 20 years,
and give the country time to recover
from the effects of the war. A
greenback issue would impair the
credit of the government and rob
our treasury of its god, and there
is no way of safely adding to our
stock of cash except by the sale of
bonds.

At the Churches.
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

Sundays services were of unusual
interest. The morning sermon, which
was preached by the pastor, was apprO
pirate for Memorial Day, the e.. \.
r., w. II. G.. and ). of Y. being pres
ent in body. The interest of the oc-
casion was increased very much by the
presence Of the Rev. John f. Chaplin,
ID. d., who was pastor of the Presby-
terrain church here during the war. DR..
Chaplin occupied the pulpit in the eve
ming, preaching most excellent Ser
mon to the large congregation present,
which was composed largely of his o d
friends of all denominations. The
music at both services was good, aud
Mr. Peterson, with these who so will
ingly assisted him are TO be congra,u-
lated for their efforts IN this direction.
The morning sermon was from the
text, 1--WE would know therefore what
these things mean" AS the ancient
Greeks demanded of Paul concerning
his teachings and asked him 90 explain
what such things meant, so it is but
fitting that we should initiate the
spirit of those Greeks, and inquire on
this Memorial Day as to what these
things mean. 1t is necessary that we
study such occasions as this, as it is
p( sSiGle to learn much from them that
will be great benefit to US. War is a
process Of last resort, an awful bust
ness, and needs to be studied in order
to be hated and thence avoided. To
day all over the land the wave Of kind
ly sympathy tor our fallen soldiers will
begin TO roll. Tomorrow gentle hands
guided by loving hearts will scatter
flowers upon the graves of these sleep
ing heroes. All honor is due the mem.
DRY of those who laid down their lives
in a cause SO worthy. Dangers may
threaten our nation, but we have little
ifested by our brave boys recently en-
listed and now enlisting will defend
this land against every attack. Our
greatest dangers are from within, and
will be until we are more willing to up
hold the principles of craftsmanship,
not serving country so generally for the
spolls.
The old soldiers and all are urged TO
enlist under the principles of Jesus
Christ and thus be heroes indeed.

Indiana's Quota.

Under the second call for troops by
the president of the United States the
quota for Indiana is 1882, and it is pre-
sumed that this number can readily be
raised. In all probability the soldiers
entering the service in this second call
will have light duty to perform, and
so far as we are able to perceive from
the present outlook the young men en-
tering the service will only have the
guarding of forJs liz seaport towns, or
be located in important forts at various
coast points. 1t will be pleasant
soldier-life in all probability; for if we
are again successful on the ocean, and
succeed in the demolition of Spain's
fleet, the war will no doubt end within
wear.

The Philippine Islands are worth
to this country the price of their
holding. These possessions abound
in great riches. If properly treated,
the natives would become suffi-
GENTLY Americanized to render the
Philippines much more valuable to
the United States than they have
ever been to spain. If it is the in
tention of Spain to recover lost
ground at Manila, it stands this gov
eminent in hand to get hump on
itself to give aid to Dewey or the
situation will become expensive.

While the republicans have held
quite a number of conventions this
year, county and district, they have
been quite chary about passing res
olutions. They are content with
the endorsement of the national
and state administrations of Senator
Fairbanks, and of the prosecution OF
the war. Beyond that they have
not gone. Specific declarations as
to party politics are left to the state
convention.

1t is said that every man knows

other strategist Just how war ought
to be run. But it was ever thus.

Gen. Gomez, the Cuban leader,
has proved himself again true blue
patriot and man by declaring that
his part of the warfare against Spain
must hereafter be conducted on the
civilized plan. Such a declaration
makes it an easy matter for the

insurgents.

Letter from Harry COrbin.


To CHARLES =. PRICE:
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, May 81
had intended to write to you before
now, but have been busy sightseeing
whenever L could leave camp.
Every thing is such contrast here to
what it was at home that the boys have
not thought of being homesick, but
spend their spare time hunting relics
and viewing the hills ana mountains
on which the old veterans fought SO
bravely Id the late war.
Everywhere we g. we are stopped by
some old soldier who wants to "wlsh us
welP' and Sunday evening we were
stopped on streets of Chattanooga, as
three of us were returning from Look
out mountain, bv an old soldier of the
Confederate army, who voluntarily told
US that the hardest fighters they had to
meet with were those from Indiana,
Illinois and Ohio.
Well, Charlie, as you know what the
regular army is, l can't tell you much
about it which is new TO you. The
meals are rot like you get at home, but
the old familiar bacon and bareback
greets us at every meal No one will
have the govt if they eat with rs. Then
again it is impossible to sleep as one
who ''wraps the drapery of his couch
about him and lies down to pleasant
Dreams" for there is scarcity of
touches and the boys also find their
drapery missing when they retire for
the night, for our nelghboring compa-
MES have taken great liking 10 our
blankets and prefer them TO their own.
Every evening we are favored with
band concerts from the different regi-
mental bands before bedtime, and after
taps the flute-lIke notes of about one
hundred patriotic muIes are heard IN
til daylight rendering such choice selec.
tions as would fill the heart of the
"long haired" musician with joy.
Sunday all of our battalion took
trip to Lookout mountain and spent
the day and had very enjoyable time.
They have very large hotel there and
Captain Cspron and myself listened
to the concert which was going on at
the time. They received few encOres
good music, so | finally induced the
captain to play the piano, very much
against his will. The result was that
every one who had been driven to the
front porch in a fit of despair returned
and would not let John leave the piano
stool for nearly two hours. All pro-
nounced it the best piano music they
ever heard
SO far we have found the hospitality
of the southern people to far exceed
our expectations.
Am glad that the Indiana Novelty
company will resume business and l
hope they may be able TO collect their
accounts and not lose cent, as they
have kept the town alive for years and
are deserving of unbounded success. |
sincerely hope for their own good, and
the benefit of our city, they may not
meet with any more financial calamitles
and Will pull out of this all right.
Give my regards to all the boys and
let me hear from you when you get time.
Truly yours,
HARRY &. CORBIN.

Wheat Prospects Good.

A trip in the country now is little
less than a revelation as to the condi-
ton of the growing wheat. 1t is Ger
tainly far above the condition for this
time of the year. enc of the espe-
ciAlly favorable indications for big
and well matured crop is the prospect
for an early harvest. 1t is fact that
without exceptions the particularly
heavy yields of wheat have been when
the crop was ready for an early harvest.

Company Elm Line.

A meeting was held Thursday night in
Wrentschler' hall, South Michigan
street, by the members of Company Z.
Every one present was in the best of
humOr and the thought that they would
soon be called to the front made the
boys exceedingly jubilant. The meet
ing was called for the purpose of elect
ing company officers, which was carried
out. Every thing was conducted in a
friendly and loyal spirit, which spirit is
truly American. The following are
the names of the officers elected: j. A.
Skunk, Captain; Chas. 5, Price, First
Lieutenant; G.. f. Blain, Second Lieu
tenant. For the latter Office the bal
loting was quite spirited, the contest
