The Victory I'm Alabama
(Houston CTexas) post.)

>H""t d 'RAHf
The election in Alabama has resulted
in emphatic democratic victory OF the
old fashioned kind-the enemies OF de-
mocracy having been routed in all di-
rections with not enough left TO them
upon which to base the slightest claim
for a recount or "A contest. The boasts
of the opposition are shown to have
been without any substantial justihca-
ton whatever.
Speaking first among the southern
states, Alabama has demonstrated that
the democracy has lost none OF it,
vitality since the last general cleo
tionS. In a state where both reput Ia
canism and populism have been strong
and in a time when public interest has
been largely conferred on war ard the
questions relating to the war. the
democratic party has shown shat it's
organization is intact. its members
alert and the principles ~enunciated i'm
the Chicago platform still the most
popular and inspiring articles OF DEM
ocratic faith. The party has noG only
won in a representative southern state.
but its victory was a pronounced one,
the majority being unusually large.
To hose who nave been predicting
the decedence of democratic enti.usi-
asm in the south, or who have been
arguing that free silver and the Chi
cago platform could not again awaken
the interest Of the people as in 1895,
and that new issues had arisen
which would pa. "Bryanism' out %
date, this lesson taught by Alabama
is especially commended.

General Lee Will Have Hi. Inning

When the war with Spain was de-
clared il was confidently expected that
the first hostile movement would be
against Havana, and that General
Fitzhugh Lee would be designated az
the commander OF the American vol
unteers in the assaulting column.
But Havana was not selected as the
initial point OF attack, and IL may be
that this circumstance had something
TO do with the fact hat General Lee
was not In the first army Of invasion
Of a country in which he had made
such a creditable record as the guar
dian Of American interests.
But IL seems, after all, that the hon.
has been reserved for General Lee. Ac-
cordinf TO a Washington dispatch.
Immediately after the conclusion OF
peace he viii be sent to Cuba In COM
mand Of the Seventh army corps, and
that he will administer the military
government until a Cuban admin
~istration selected by the s~urragans
OF the island Is Installed.
Thus, while General Lee will be de-
MED the proud privilege even OF a
baptismal of fire in the war with Spain.
he will come out of IL. as he entered
IL, with flying colors and eclat.
AS the military c~ommandant in
Cuba during the interim between the
suspension of hostilities and the es-
adjustment of a civil government OF
the people. General Lee will undoubt-
. eddy be the right man in the right
place."-Baltimore Herald.

Our Warships in Cuban Waters

Playa del Este, August 6.-The auxu-
larry cruiser ST. Louis has arrived here
from Porto Rico under orders to assist
in taking the United States troops
home from Santiago. Captain food
rich, however, thinks his ship is too
long to enter the harbOr and he will
remain here until the matter is settled.
The transport San Juan arrived from
Santiago with troops and provisions
and proceeded for Caimanera. The
Armesia has left for Key West.
The fleet still emains here awaiting
orders from Washington.
Rear Admiral Sampson expresses the
hope that the peace negotiations Will
come to a quick conclusion. He is anx-
iOus to take aggressive action on the
south coast without delay, or, in the
event of peace being concluded, to i'm
mediately relieve the suffering imposed
by the rigor of the blockade. Through
out the campaign Admiral SIMPSONS
keen appreciation of the sufferingS of
the half starved Cubans and his en-
deavOrs to afford them relief have been
a marked feature.
The Potomac has recovered $40, 900
from the Infanta Maria Teresa, which
was driven ashore at the time Admiral
Cervera attempted to escape from San
tiago.
The transport Resolute, with marines
| aboard, is still here. The shore is de-
serted save for the cable operators and
our marines who are on guard.
The newspapers containing Admiral
SIMPSONS report of the battle or July
3rd, arrived here last night. They were
eagerly read throughout the fleet and
the report created universal satisfac-
ton. The universal confidence in and
devotion to the admiral and the men
under his command rendered this ex-
preston of feeling a fOregOne conclu-
| sion.

New York, August 5.-The Journal

eral Wildman. The message is dated
Cavite. July Both, and in it Aguinaldo
says it has been reported that he is
getting big-headed and not behav-
ing as he promised Mr.. Wildman-
Says Aguinaldo:
L ask why should America expect
me to outline my policy, present and
future, and fight blindly for her inter-
ests when America will not be frank
with me? Tell me this: Am 1 fighting
for annexation, protection or indie
p~endence? 1t is for America to say, not
me. 1 can take Manila, as I have de-
feated the Spanish everywhere, but
what would be the use? If America
takes Manila, I can save my men and
arms for What the future has in store
for me. Now, good friend, believe me-
I am not both fool and rogue. The in
terests OF my people are as sacred to
me as are the interests OF your people

SENATOR BACON,S PROTEST
Against the Third Regiment of Votun-
teers Being Sent to Santiago is Re-
scented by the Officers of That Resi-
ment.

Macon, Ga, August Ex-senator Ba-
con today sent a long telegram to the
war department, protesting against the
movement of Colonel Rays (Third)
regiment, United States volunteers, to
Santiago de Cuba. Following was his
telegram:
Macon, Ga, August 5.
Hon Russell A. Alger, Secretary Of
War:
TT is distinctly understood through
out the whole country that the Third
regiment, United States volunteers, al
though called ~"immunes," are no more
immune from yellow fever thar any
other volunteer regiment. It is compos-
ed almost exclusively Of Georgians,
nearly all of whom are very young
men and many Of them minors. When
enlisted, the government subjected
them to a rigid physical examination,
but no proof was demanded or deSir-
ed as to their immunity from yellow
fever. It is not even pretended that a
man in the regiment has ever had yell
low fever. To send these young men
and boys to Santiago at. this time with
no enemy to fight, is to expose them
to the same deathly peril from yellow
fever as is now said to confront those
who, having reaped the honors, are
now TO De sent TO a north
ern seaside.
IF more troops were now needed at
Santiago or if fighting were to be
done, the order for this regiment
would be approved by all, but it is a
wholly different matter to send them
into a pestilence hat other soldiers,
who are more nearly immune han
they, may be removed from Santiago.
A solemn sense of my duty to those
young men impels me, therefore, to re-
quest most earnestly and urgently that
the order for their removal to Santa
go be revoked. I send this without the
knowledge of Any officer or man in the
regiment. A. O. BACON,
"U. S. Senator"
Against this, Colonel Ray, who had
not been consulted, most vigorously
protested, saying it was an unwarrant-
ed interference on the senator's part.
| He declared his regiment had not been
organized or IN immune basis and
that it was not a Georgia regiment at
all.
All the officers of the regiment sign
ed a protest against any revocation OF
| the orders, and as neither Senator Ba-
| con nor Colonel Ray have received any
information to the contrary, the regi-
/ ment will move tomorrow night to Sa-
| vannah and sail from that city sun
day morning for Santiago.
