The Family Informed

THOMASVILLE, Ca, Dec. l2.-ln the
midst of laughter and flowers the wife and
two daughters OF General Garcia, Misses
Mercedia and Marcia, received the tidings
of their fathers death. The blow was ter
ribe in its suddenness and has prostratcd
the entire family. The noon train brought
the Garcias from Waycro-s under the es-
cort OF Mayor Stern, and they We're in
stalled in the handsomest suite at the
Masury Hotel.
A telegram Sunday morning came from
Captain Julio Garcia, in Washington, in
forming his mother that the condition OF
the General was much improved and the
family went to the dining-room with light
hearts. Their table was gaily decorated
with roses, violets and ferns, in honor OF
the occasion, and all three ladies were paid
courtesies usually accorded to people of
distinction. In the midst OF this happy
scene came the shocking news from Wash
ington.
The plans of Mrs. Garcia have not yet
been ascertained. She may 20 to Wash
inqton, or proceed to Tampa to await the

GOTHAM'S GIANTS
Will Be Managed by John Day Next
Season

NEW YORK, Dec. l2.-The Herald says:
John &. Day, formerly owner OF the New
York Club at the height of its success, has
been secured as manager of the Giants for
next year. Such was the announcement
made yesterday by Andrew Freedman,
President Of the New York Club. Mr..
Freedman further said that Amos Rusie and
Jouett Meekin, who for years have been con-
sGdered the main strength of the team in
this city, and William Gleason, second
baseman, are on the market to be sold or
exchanged for other players equally skill
full.
Mr.. Freedman said last night "The
New York Club has secured a new man
ager who will have entire control of the
ment of the playing end of the club to John
B. Day We propose to make him a di-
rector Of the club and let him have entire
charge of the club. ] want to be relieved
Of the trouble that arises Of looking after
the playing end OF the club, and will do all
l can to make Mr.. Days management sue
cessful He will have all the credit that the
club may attain.
1--WE are satisfied that number of play
ers have been on the New York team too
long. They have never been desirous of
doing more than holding their positions, on
account of drawing stars. We intend to
get others who will play for the success of
the team. The announcement is now made
that Rusie, Meekin and Gleason are on the
market and either will be sold or traded for
other players equally strong. And there
are others.
GAS regards the players of the team, we
have signed such as will surely represent
the club next year. We will have a strong
team and radical measures for the club S
rights will be enforced. Players who do not
like to work and are mere shirkers must
look for places on other teams. There were
factions that sprung up in the team last
year-certain men did not support certain
pitchers, certain players were delinquent in
their work and the public had good, fair
example of skill"

CAPITALISTS IN CUBA
WILL FIND PROFITABLE USE
FOR MONEY
FOREIGN FUNDS INVESTED
Will Not Be Crowded Out Under the
New Regime, as Has Been
Assumed
Associated Press Special Wire

Associated Press Special Wire
NEW YORK, Dec. PA dispatch to the
Tribune from Havana says.
There are new enterprises in Cuba for
American capital: The opening of increased
means of communication between Cuba and
the Florida ports has clnched this con-
clusion. Communication is now established
three times week with Tampa, on the
west coast and twice week with Maimi
on the east coast. The business may not be
sufficient for while to keep two steamship
lines in operation. The competition will
probably be sharp. But after a time there
with the exception of New Orleans, are
also awakening to their opportunities and
an increased trade with the Southwest
promises soon to he developed.
These are only incidents in the future
development Of the island. What is sig
nificant is the complete recognition by the
foreign capital invested in Cuba of the
new conditions. None of this capital will
be crowded out as has been assumed in
many quarters. Instead it will remain in
the assurance of future stability given by
the United States. Much English money
is invested in the railways and the tobacco
plantations and manufactures. Some of it
was actually pushed into Havana in order
to seize the opportunities that We're open
before the time was ripe for American in
vestments. French and German houses also
reached out to insure the trade that was
already theirs.
Spanish capital has done more than that.
1t is probable that the Barcelona houses
will carry out their plan of erecting jute
mills in Cuba. This is something they never
seriously contemplated while Spain ruled
the island. 1t was enough to have a por-
ton of their capital invested in the mercan-
tile business without additional risks of
the manufactures. a common delusion that
the retail trade of Havana and other cities
will pass rapidly into American hands must
also be noted. The Spanish merchants will
hold this trade so stubbornly that its future
is not worth considering at present The
only point of consequence is that they will
buy in larger quantities from houses in the
United States.
With the full knowledge, then that Am
erican capital is not expected to disiodge
existing European capital, the interest will
be in the fields which will be opened for it..
The European trade representa- tives have
a torerably clear idea of where the first de-
velopment will come. They have a vivid
remembrance of the American ships which
were beginning to crowd the harbors Of Ha-

MISSISSIPPI RACE WAR.
Eleven Negroes and One White Man Have
Met Death.

Forest, Miss, Oct, 25.-As result
of the bloody war being waged be-
tween the whites and negroes in the
Harpersville neighborhood, of this
county, there are eleven dead negroes
and one dead white man, while three
white men and one negro are suffering
severe wounds. Several of the rioters
have been captured and lodged in Jail
at Forest, but the others escaped in
the swamps. Large crowds of white
men are in close pursuit, however. and
more names are hourly expected to be
added to the death list.
1t is impossible to obtain fnll list
of the killed, for the reason that some
of the negroes were shot down in the
woods and were hurriedly buried by
the whites where they fell. A member
of the posse said that he helped bury
the negroes in trenches, but neither
himself or any one in his crowd knew
their names, and they did not care
enough about them to inquire.
Governor McLaurin went to Hoop
ersville yesterday and appealed to the
whites not to modest the prisoners in
the custody of the sheriff. The gov
ernor's talk had good effect on the
majority of those In the crowd, but
some of the hot-headed members did
not relish the governors interference,
but he finally persuaded the crowd to
let the sheriff take the prisoners to
jail. Sheriff Stevenson had placed adj
ditional guards at the Forest Jail, to
prevent the lynching of the rioters
now in custody. Two negroes who
are under arrest have made full con
fession.
The funeral of the murdered officer,
Sibley. occurred at Ilarpersville yes
terday, and was attended by hundreds
of peoplr
