THOSE COLORED OFFICERS.
Governor Has Taken No Action-Ad-
here's 10 His Original Purpose.

Governor Tyler. though still quite I'M
well, spent some time in his Office yes
terday, and attended to large volume
of official business.
The Governor is still perplexed over the
negro question, as presented by the call
of the President for more volunteers
from Virginia. The two negro battalions
are ready to be mustered in, and the Gov
ernor feels called upon to turn them over
to the General Government as they are
He is. however. being urged by many of
his closest friends both socially and po-
litically, TO appoint white officers for the
battaliOns. He has studied the question,
in its every phase, and listened TO ali the
arguments brought to bear upon hun
but he is still rather of the opinion that
to do other than muster the battaliOns
i'm as they are would be an infringement
on the Constitution as amended. He will
take no action in the matter for a few
days. and il may be that before turning
the troops over he will go to Washing
ton and have talk with the President.
A delegation from Fluvanna called
upon the Governor yesterday morning
and urged him TO appoint Mr. A. A. Gray
Judge of that county. He heard them
with close attention, but will not make
the appointment for several days.
The Chief of Police Of Newport News
called at the Governors office early yes
terday morning and secured requisition
papers for Littleton Marshall Sturgiss,
who is now a prisoner in Philadelphia,
where he is held TO await the Virginia
authorities. Sturgiss is wanted in New
port News for forgery. and the Chief left
on the noon train yesterday for Pennsyl-
vania. where he will get his man. He
expects to have his prisoner in Newport
News by thursday or Friday.

In Memory of Jefferson Davis.
Savannah News.)

Six weeks ago n touching and beauti-
full event occurred i'm ST. Paurs church,
Richmond. 1t is especially fitting 10 refer
to it to-day, since il was the unwilling
of an artistic stained-glass window in
memory of Jefferson Davis, and the State
of Georgia has set apart this day to be
observed in honor Of the first and only
President of the Southern Confederacy.
The memorial is the gift of southern peo-
pie in all sections of the country. and was
erected under the auspices of several me
mortal committees and the vestry Of the
church. st. Paups. IL may be remem-
bered, was the church in which Mr.. Davis
worshipped during his residence in Rich
mond while that city was the capital of
the Confederacy and he was its Chief Ex-
ecutiye. The unwilling ceremonies were
attended by Mrs. Davis, and the exercises
were participated in by the Rev. Moses
Hoge, who was Mr.. Davls's friend AND
was closely identified with those stirring
days of the COS.
The window is one of rare beauty. and
is especially suggestive as a memorial to
jefferson Davis. The subject depicted is
the famous biblical scene OF Paul before
Agrippa, when the eloquence Of the apos-
tie was sufficient to cause the Roman TO
say: almost thou persuadest re to be
q Christian" The texts of Scripture
which appear with the picture are strik-
ingly appropriate. One Of them IS from
Acts XVI: This man doeth nothing
worthy of death or of bonds" Another
is from Job XXI: LET me be weighed
in an even balance that God may Know
my integrity" The memorial inscription
Is this: "'To the glory Of God and in
memory OF Jefferson Davis President
of the Confederate States of America.
Born June 3. 1903; died December 6. 1889"
The peculiar appropriateness of the me-
mortal. In all OF it's details. will appear
to all southern people. and should appeal
to all people. Unfortunately The
analogy between the great apostle plead
ing for Christianity. and the great south
erner pleading for the principal which he
and his people believed To be right, IL
clear. and the texts are of striking fitness,
in view of circumstances attendant upon
the downfall OF the Confederacy. This
man doeth nothing worthy of death or OF
bonds" nevertheless, Mr.. Davis suffered
the cruelty of iron chains. Let me be-
weighed I'm an even balance. that God may
know my integrity" MIR. Davis was will
Ing TO submit 10 the test of an even
balance. and so are the people who sus-
tanned the Lost Cause willing TO submit,
in order that history may treat and pos
terty may judge them upon their integ
rity. In these days OF reunited country,
when sectionalism is wiped out and all
the people are Americans. without reser-
walton or qualification, the South is will
ing TO rest It's case upon an unprejudiced
consideration Of the facts regarding the
Southern Confederacy and Jefferson
Davis.

THE FORESTS OF CUBA.

Cuba still possesses 100000 acres OF
virgin forest, Astounding i'm valuable tim
Der, none OF which is useful as coarse
construction lumber. while nearly every
foot would be salable In the United States
and bring high prices Cuban mahogany
and cedar are particularly well known In
the United States. The mahogany Is very
hard and shows handsome grain. and
Is preferred by many TO any other variety
in common use. The moment Spain drops
the reins Of government in Cuba and trade
relations are re-established with the
States. there will be a movement, both
inward and outward. OF forest products
which will have a beneficial effect upon
the industry Of both countries.
First to feel the force of this movement
toward rehabilitating Cuba will be the
numbering interests OF the South At
lantic and Gulf coasts. Priors to three
years ago they looked upon Cuba as an
excellent outlook for the coarse end OF
the mill cuts. and since that market has
been closed to permit the prosecution of
a most hideous and revOlting war, the
coarser grades of yellow pine produced
at coast points have been marketed with
great difficulty and seldom at profit.
Ii is unfortunately true that Cuba will
be unable 10 reallze so promptly from Il
movement to re-establish her mahogany
and cedar trade, for ii is
claimed by prominent operators
that the industry has been so COM
pletely crippled by the ravages Of war

to eighteen months will be required be-

be accomplished without shedding an adj

hardly be better than $50,0OO000. But un-
