MILES ISSUES
A PROCLAMATION
To The People of Porto Rico,
Notifying Them
AMERICAS INTENTIONS

Washington, July 30-General
Miles has issued the following
proclamation:
"In the prosecution of the war
against the kingdom of Spain by
the people of the United States in
the cause of liberty, justice and
humanity, its military forces have
come to occupy the island of Porto
Rico. They come bearing the
banners of freedom, inspired by a
noble purpose, to seek the enemies
of our government and of yours,
and to d sstroy or capture all in
armed resistance. They bring
you the fostering arms of a free
people whose greatest power is
justice and humanity to all living
within their fold. Hence they re-
lease you from your former politi-
cal relations, and, it is hoped, this
will be followed by your cheerful
acceptance of the government of
the United States.
"The chief object of the Ameri-
can military forces will DO to over
throw the authority of Spain and
give the people of your beautiful
island the largest measure of lib
erty consistent with military occu-
patton. They have not come to
make war on the people of the
country who for centuries have
been oppressed, but, on the con-
trary, they come to protect not
only yourselves, but your proper
ty, promote your prosperity and
bestow the immunities and bless
ings of our enlightened and liberal
institutions and government.
at is not their purpose to inter-
fere with the existing laws and
customs, which are wholesome and
beneficial to the people, &C long as
they conform to the rules of the
military administration, order and
Justice. This is not war of de-
vestation and desolation, but one
to give all within the control OF
the military and naval forces the
advantages and blessings of en-,
lightened civilization"

DIED

AT his late residence in Florence,
Colorado, on July 80, 1898, OF
tuburcolosis, Whit F. Nix, aged
2S years, 3 months and IA days.
Whit Field Nix was born in
Clayton, Alabama, on April II,
1870. He was educated at Soutl :
ern university, Greensboro, Ala
bama, graduating with honors at
the age of II, and with the same
class with Lieutenant Hobson.
He Immediately took up the study
of law at Vanderbilt University,
Nashville, Tennessee, and was ad-
mitted to the bar in 1880.
After brief practice in Clayton,
i'll health necessitated his removal
to Colorado. He located in Flor
ence in 1892 and has been actively
engaged in the practice of his pro-
fession ever since.
On December 4, 1896 he was
married to Miss May Tanner, a
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. s. j.
Tanner, and one child, too young
to realize its loss, remains to COM
fort and cheer the stricken wife
and mother. One brother, George
P. Nix, lives in the city, while &c

ton, Alabama, came the sad intelli.
gence of a son and brothers death
yesterday afternoon.
On the morning of the 29th the
father sailed with the Alabama
volunteers in General Brooke's ex.
pedition to Porto Rice, while al.
most at the same time the young
est brother, Glenn, embarked with
the Colorado recruits from San
Francisco for the Philippines. Il
is saddening thought to contem.
plate that perhaps many weeks
must elapse before they can know
of their bereavement.
Mr.. Nix was an earnest and con.
sistent member of the Methodist
Episcopal church. AS man he
was highly respected and esteemed
by all who knew him. AS an at
torney he enjoyed the confidence
of his associates at the bar, who
feel keenly his death. He was ar
earnest devetee to his profession
and achieved success. He battlec
against difficulties because of OK
treme poor health. Tuburcolosil
had fastened itself upon him be
fore he came west, and the bes
that he hoped for was prolonga
tion of life.

THE CITY OF SLEEP

Over the edge OF the purple down
Where the single lamplight glehms
Know w the road to the Merciiul Town
That is Ibid by the Sea OF Dreams
Where the poor may lay their wrongs away,
And the sick may forget TO weep,
But we--pity US ah pity US
We wakeiul: oh. pity US
We must 90 back with Policeman Day
Back from the City OF Sleep
Weary they turn from the scroll and crown,
Fetter and prayer and plow-
They that go up to the Merciiul ToWn,
For her gates are closing now.
It Is their right In the,baths OF Night
Body and soul to sleep;
We-pity u.s. nh pity us
We wakeful; oh pity us
We must 20 back with Policeman Day
Back from the City OF Sleep!
Over the edge Of the purple down
Ere the tender dreams begin;
Look-we may look-at the Mercltul Town,
But we may not enter In.
Outcasts all, from her guarded wall,
Back to our watch we creep;
We-pity us nh pity US
We wakeful: oh pity US
We that 20 back with Policeman Day
Back from the City Of Sleep

The inhabitants OF cities are be-
ginning to appreciate the fact that the
multiplicity of sounds at present is
seriously detrimental to health. Some
of these noises are, of course, unavoid-
able, but many Of them serve no use
full purpose, and would injure no in
terests if abolished. Physicians are
too we'll cognizant of the disastrous eff
fects of harsh noises to certain pa
tients, and surely vigorous crusade
inaugurated to remedy this evil would
be attended with the most beneficial
results. London has already taken
the initiative.

Where Hearing Ceases.

Lord Rayleigh in recent lecture
said that experiments had shown that
vibration of sound having an ampli-
tude OF less than one twelve. millionth
OF centimeter could still affect the
sense OF hearing. Such vibration
would be so short that it would have
to be enlarged one hundred times be-
fore the most powerful possible mi
croscope could render it visible, sup
posing that it were susceptible OF be-
ing seen at all. Old people, he said,
do not hear high notes which are au-
dible to young persons, and there is
reason to believe that babies hear
notes which are inuudible to their
elders.

property,

There can be no doubt of the fact
that great alarm exists in the public
mind of Great Britain over the rapidly
growing industrial prestige of the
United States. One of the most con-
servative OF British journals, The
London Economist, accounts for the
marked falling off in exports from
that country during the past year on
the ground that American COMPETE
ton is yearly becoming more danger
Gus to the interests of Great Britain.
While recognizing the harmful effects
of the Indian famine and other dis
turbing influences this representative
newspaper observes: "Yet we attach
more importance still to o new factor
which has made itself very manifest
during the past twelve months-we
refer to the competition of American
iron both at home and abroad. Twelve
months ago this competition was felt,
but only to limited extent, and it
was generally assumed that it was due
TO the exceptional depression which
was experienced in the United States,
and that so soon rs this had passed
away prices in America would rise to
such point as would make it un-
profitable to continue shipments.
The total exports from the United
States, which in 1896 were about 100,-
600 tons, are estimated to reach over
500, 600 tons in 1897. The principal
items are pig iron and steel rails.
The former comes mainly from the
state of Alabama aud is shipped from
southern ports in cott.-- ships. Being
able to carry iron in addition to full
cargo of cotton, it is taken at a COM
paratively low rate of freight, and in
this way it can be laid down at price
to compete with pig iron of British
production. Steel rails have been
shipped largely to Canada, Mexico,
India, Australia and Japan, and have
come into direct competition with
British manufacturers. What the
London Economist is thus candid
enough to admit, other discerning
newspapers of Great Britain cannot
be slow to recognize. There is no
country on the globe which can com.
pare with the United States in the in
dustrial strides which it has made
during the past few years.
