Secretary Longs Remarks Re-
garding Spain's RESPONSE
bility Widely Quoted.
Officially Announces That the
Opinion Given Was His
Personal Impression.
Had Stated That Spanish Par
tiCipation Was Eliminated
' From the Situation.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The main
interest of the day in connection with
the Maine inquiry conferred in state.
ment by Secretary Long, following the
cabinet meeting, that, in his personal
opinion, any official participation BY
the Spanish government in the blow.
ing up of the Maine was now prac-
tically eliminated from the situation.
This statement was not of formal or
official character and was made by Mr..
Long as he walked away from the
White House. As usual the various
cabinet officers were besieged with in'
quiries as to the questions before the
meeting, and in response to these i'm
portunities the secretary rather casually
summed up the situation in a few
words, stating that most of the time
had been given to the outrages Oh COL
ored postmasters in the South.
This Caused the Trouble.
Naturally the Cuban situation had
been gone over, he said, but there were
no actual developments and he felt tnat
public excitement over the subject had
materially abated. Then he added the
statement, in the same. passing way,
that any pal ticipation by the Spanish
government in the blowing up Of the
Maine was practically eliminated, in
his judgment. This last remark was
speedily given wide circulation apart
from the quoting references which had
accompanied it. 1t Immediately started
much comment and discussion, and
when Mr.. Long returned to the navy
department after lunch he found that
what he had intended to convey Was
being given the force of All official dec
laration that Spain's responsibility for
the disaster had been eliminated.
r. Makes an Explanation.
In order to make clear his meaning
rs persona expression Of opinion, Mr..
Long dictated the following statement:
The main thing we talked about in
cabinet was the Outrages on the pOstmas-
ters, one white man in Georgia and one
q colored man in South Carolina.
in regard to the Cuban situation, said
I thought things were growing quieter
every day, and as far as my Judgment
went was inclined to think thut any
official participation on the part Of the
Spanish government in the disaster was
now practically eliminated.
lhe foregoing conveyed al that Mr..
Long desired to say on the subject and
this much was given only to offset en-
lareed versions of what he had said.
He was much surprised that SO much
attention had been given to his passing
illusions.

THEIR LOT NOT HAPPY.
Truckers Found More Gloom Than
sunshine This Season.


sunshine This Season.
This has been a poor season for the
truck farmers. They have been the vic
Tins of too much dry weather, followed by
too much wet weather. The happy me-
dunn, under which crops prosper, never
seemed to arrive, and as a result bank ac-
counts have been reduced rather than
swollen.
To begin with, the outlook in the early
part of the season was all that could be
desired. The beginning of the spring was
warm, dry just The weather TO create
hopes of large and early crops, marketed
at fancy figures. When St. ,Patriek's day
came the truckers breathed easy, for after
that they expected no trouble from the
frosts. The potatoes, peas and beans
were showing up in fine style, and it was
not hard for the farmers to calculate
profits and plan a trip to Saratoga a little
later on, when the golden harvest had roll
ed in from the great markets in exchange
for their produce. Early April found the
fields showing up beautifully. Nothing
pretter could be seen anywhere than the
truck farms with their acre upon acre of
young vegeta bles.H But April s, with its
killing frost, put the first damper on the
1lOpeS VI lllS BIOWtIS. Lie peas anu the
beans wilted and died before the killing
embrace of old jack
This was only the beginning of their
troubles. Drought set in soon after, and
the sandy fields became parched until
what vegetation had been saved took on a
withered appearance, and the prospects of
a paying crop began to diminish steadily
With all this, it was hoped that potatoes,
as a short crop, would bring good, even
fancy, prices, and help to make up for the
losses incurred otherwise. But when the
potatoes began to reach market in any
quantity the prices received fell below ex-
pectations and another disappointment
was added to the several which had al
ready fallen to the lot of the truckers.
Beans, too brought prices so low that
it hardly paid to ship them. Peas We're a
little better, to be sure, but the supply of
peas from Savannah territory was limited
indeed.
AS everybody knows, wet weather came
on top Of the dry spell, and helped to COM
plete its work. For a brief time plants
began to show signs of thriving, but the
rain soon proved almost as bad for them
as the drought had been. Tomatoes and
other crops were cut short through both
agencies together, until, as a truck farmer
said last night, 1T looked as though every
agency of nature had combined to make
us poor"
1t was hoped that a large crop of hay
would be made, and it is possible that
such may yet be the case. The grass is
there, but the rains have prevented any
hay making until the last few days. A
couple of weeks of good weather just now
will be a blessing to the truckers. Out
side of the hay question they are inter-
ested in fall crops Of vegetables, and it
the bureau can produce the exact variety
of weather they desire for the next two
months they may recoup to a small extent
the bad results of the forepart of the sea-
son.

PENSIONS IN THE WAY.
That Big Burden May Interfere with
the Home Project.

the Home Project.
Maj. G. NJ Ryals was not in the city yes
terday, so it could not be learned whether
or not he would accept the appointment
on the committee named by Gen Evans
to take steps to have the state adopt the
proposed soldiers home at Atlanta as one
of its institutions.
From the interest he has always display
ed in matters affecting the welfare Of the
Confederate veterans, though, 1T is to be
presumed that Maj. Ryals will cheerfully
do what he can to assist in the move
ment no matter what he may think of
the possibilities of success.
Gen. p. McGlashan, president of the
Confederate Veterans Association, while
expressing the hope that the venture VIII
be a success, did not conceal his BELIEF
that it would be a very difficult matter
to bring the legislature to add such a
home to the Institutions now cared for by
the state. The feeling, he fears, is too
strong that the state is doing all 1t can
in its pension system, the expenditures I'M
der which have grown enormously and
promise to be still greater in the future
While the people may be patriotic and
grateful enough to undertake the support
of a home it is to be feared that the finan-
ingly assume new burdens even though
comparatively light. When the determin-
ed effort was made several years ago to
have the state support such an institution
sentiment ran very high in it's favor and
yet it was defeated. At that time the
pension system had not been developed to
its present extent, and Gen. McGlashan
was evidently of the belief that the great
increase in the expenditures for pensions
would tend 10 make 1t an extremely diff
ficult matter to put the project through.
"Such a home would be a grand thing, :"
said he, land as an old veteran I sincere
" hope that it will be established and
make an institution of which all Geor-
gians may be proud. I can readily appre-
ciate the difficulties that will be in the
way, though, and I am afraid the en-
deavors win be frultless. 1t is a pity
if the public will not take care of such
an institution, that private subscriptions
cannot be secured sufficient TO carry 1t
along for the few years that the old vet
eran will be with us. 1t seems to be a
difficult matter, though, to arouse indi-
vidual sentiment to the giving point in this
matter"
