NEVER, NEVER AGAIN.
Will This Fisherman Try Dynamite
ON the Finny Tribe.

VIII 1his Fisherman Try Dynamite
ON the Finny Tribe.
Sylvania, Ga, July 26.-An amusing IN
cident is related of a fisherman In the
lower part of Screven who, several days
ago, attempted TO use a dynamite cart
ridge for the destruction of the fnny tribe.
He wandered down 10 a lonely place on
the creek. where no thought he could use
the unlawful stuff without fear of detec-
ton. No living creature was to be seen
save his faithful dog that always accom-
panied him. This dog was a magnificent
retriever and the gentleman priced him
very highly. The powerful little cartridge
was taken out and the fuse lighted and
the fisherman pitched it to the SPOT where
the unsuSpcctlng fish were sporting The
faithful retriever, however, was on the
alert, ana when he saw his masters arm
swing out, and the object fly into the air,
on the instant he eprang from the bank
and when the cartridge struck the water
he was there, too. and seized il in his
mouth. Turning, he swan rapidly to
shore, and started towards his master,
with the deadly little thing between his
teeth, while the fuze was fuzzing and
eplutteIing.
The fisherman took to hts heels, and for
about a mile it is said there was one of
the widest chases through that old swamp
that has ever been seen. Through mud
and water, bamboo and thOrns he fled
for dear life. with the faithful dog right at
his heels. He lost his hat and his hands
and face Were torn and bleeding; but when
he glanced back and saw the splendid re-
triever close on his track he tarried not
Al last he uipped and fell fun length in
the soft mud, and as he did there was a
loud report just at his heels When he got
up and found that he was uninjured by
the explosion, he looked for his fine dog
but could only find a small fragment of a
leg in one place and part Of a TAIL in an
other The dog had been literally blown 70
pieces.
The fisherman still bears the marks Of
his wild flight through the swamp lie
does not hesitate TO tell his friends Of the
affair, taking care TO add however that
as this was mis- first it shall be his last
attempt at killing fish with dynamite.

ENCOUNTERED A TYPHOON.

Almost . Miracle 1hat the Northern Pa
oif1c Liner Columb. u Was Not Lost.
TAcoMA, WASH, Sept. 28.-Fresh
from an encounter with q terrific ty.
phoon Of the Chinese sea, the Northern
Pacific liner Columbia. steamed into
port. The vessel was tossed like a
single, carried back on her course and
carried 30 near the coast of Japan that
seas shipped by the vessel left deposits
Of sand on the decks. The anchor had
been cast, but the chain snapped and
the anchor and the cable were lost, and
the ship was forced near the shore.
The storm occurred Aug. ~, of Foo
Chow, China. The escape of the Col
umbia is considered miraculous and
every one aboard believed the ship
would never live through the the storm.
The Chinese sailors practically muffin.
led after the vessel was near shore and
would not be driven to work. The
others Of the crew. comprising only the
officers, were compelled to do the work
with no assistance but that of . few
sailors who happened to be passengers
on the ship. The freight brought BY
the Colum bia amounts TO ], 800 tons Of
tea, silk and general products. The
bulk Of the cargo is tea. 55ff 8 u, = =@.

EMPEROR ADVOCATES.

Imperial Edict Announces That tho Dow
.g.r Emprsas Rules China.
PEK1N, Sept. 24.-An imperial edict
Just issued definitely announces that
the emperor of China has resigned his
power to the empress (dowager en-.
press) who has ordered the minister to
deliver to her in future their official
reports.
It is difficult to obtain reliable infor-
nation at the palace in regard to the
proceeding, but the recent reformatory
edicts probably caused the change.
While the emperor was subservient
and a mere figurehead, the dowager
empress permitted him to remain in
peace, but 50 soon as he attempted to
act on his own initiative, his practical
deposition was the result.
The suddenness of the coup is said to
be due to the desire Of the dowager
empress to prevent the mission of the
Marquis Ito from being successful.
The Japanese statesman recently came
to Pekin with the object of trying to
bring about an alliance, offensive and
defensive, between Japan and China.
The new order of things will I'M.
doubtedly prejudice British interests
in China.

e. WASHINGTON, Sept. 2s.-A compre.

TO Cuba has been outlined by the war
department., and it's initial features
have been decided upon. This result
is due to directions given by the lresi.
dent on Sept. z, to the effects that de-
tails of troops be made for Cuba. Act.
ing on this, Major General Miles has
outlined plan for sending two divi-
sions to Cuba, the first under command
of Major General Wade, to leave in
October, and the second division under
Major General Ftzhugh Lee, to leave
in November. Each division will en-
brace about 5000 men, 80 that the plan
is to have some $4,000 troops in Cuba

From the fact that they 90 to Cuba, it
does not mean that they will proceed

the outlook is that there will be very

putting into effect the mi isary occupa'
ton of the island. In anticipa-
ton of the move the quartermaster's
department is preparing to have trans
ports available for the troops. 1t has
been intended to thoroughly overhaul
all the transports, putting them in dry
dock, and transferring them from
crude merchant ships into modern
transports. But this plan will have to
be altered in part, in order to keep
transports ready tor the approaching
move towards Cuba.

Need For Ao9e0 IN Evo0u0tl08 CUDo II .
Large Measure Removed.
WASHINGTON, Sept. ~. The author.
tiles here feel that by consenting to the
entry of the Comal with. food supplies
the Spanish officials in large measure
ridded the evacuation of Cuba of the
urgency that attached: to it. So long
as the Cubans, starving audenaked,
were denied the relief that Nigh come
to them from the United States gov.
eminent and Red Cross there was
powerful reason tor insisting upon the
immediate evacuation of Cuba by the
Spanish government officials in order
that BY taking possession ourselves we
might succor the distressed Oubana
Now, however, that our government is
free to do this under existing :condi.
tons, there is not the same necessity
for haste and the war department will
not be obliged to force American troops
in numbers into Cuba in the 'A't :
@ Very Worst Part Of the Season -
20 far as health conditions are con-
oerned. The daily reports that come
to the department from Santiago make
it apparent that even among the i'm.
mune regiments, made up as some of
them are Of negroes, supposed to be al.
most exempt from climatic fevers,
much sickness prevails, and it il only q
fair assumption that the ordinary
troops would suffer more were they
now sent to Cuba. Therefore, while
the American and Spanish commits.
sioners at Havana are still seeking to
reach an agreement as to the time to
be allowed Tor evaouating the island,
it may be said that the president ex.
poets that the result will be q compro.
mise between the dates mentioned on
each side, and that the movement
will begin towards the latter part of
October and be
Concluded Soon After New Years.
This will accord very well with the
plans Of the war department., as it will
enable it to avoid sending to Cuba any
considerable number Of soldiers until
the healthy season is well under way.
