If all the foundation which the claim OF
the Spanish commissioners, that spain
reserved her sovereignty over the Philip
pines when she signed the protocol. rests
on Is paragraph in the note which Duke
Almodavar de Rio addressed to Secretary
OF State Day on August 7th, 1t has
pretty poor one. This paragraph Is as
follows:
The terms relating to the Philippines
seem to our understanding quite indef-
mite. On tie one hand, the ground on
which the United States believe them
selves entitled to occupy the bay, harbor
and city of Manila. pending the conciu-
sion OF the treaty Of peace, cannot be that
of conquest since, in spite OF the BLOCKADE
maintained on the sea BY the American
feet and in spite of the siege established
provided for by the American admiral,
Manila still holds Its own and the Spanish
standard still waves over the city. On
the other hand, the whole archipelago or
the Philippines is in the power and under
the sovereignty Of Spain.
Therefore the government OF spain
thinks that the temporary occupation OF
Manila should constitute guaranty. A.
Is asserted that the treaty OF peace shall
determine the control, disposition and
government of the Philippines, but as the
Intentions of the federal government, re-
main yelled, The Spanish government
must I'll erefcrs declare that, while accept
ing the third condition. they do not, q
prior, renounce the sovereignty OF spain
over the archipelago. leaving it to the
nsgotiators to agree as to such re forms as
the conditions Of these possessions and
The level OF the culture Of their natives
may render desirable. The government Of
Her Majesty accepts the third condition,
with the above mentioned declarations z
Practically all that this amounts to il
that Spain held that by agreeing to that
one of President McKinley's peace pro
posals which related to the Philippines
she did not renouncs sovereignty ovel
them. But that is very different thing
from the claim that she now sets III
which is, practically, that by the terms Of
the protocol consideration Of change Of
sovereignty was excluded from the confer
ence. Furthermore whatever the meaning
the Duke intended to convey, whatever
Limitation he undertook to put upon the
commission, our state department did moi
assent to it, and Spain signed the protocol
subsequent to this without our as
senting to any Limitation which Spain
had sought to put upon it. In short she
agreed that the commissioners should
have full power to settle the control
disposition and government of the Philip
pine islands," without our agreeing te
any ,imitationor restriction upon sither Of
these words. Whatever the ordinary
meaning OF these words will fairly cover
the commission has right to consider
and settle; and certainly control and
disposition" are broad enough to justify
consideration of change of sovereignty.

The fruit crop in this state the greater
portion of which is grown upon the lines
of this company, has been the largest
ever known, and, it is understood that
the results have been quite satisfactory TO
the producers, 1t is expected that the
industry will grow. 1t has already be-
come an important one, and recognizing the
diversity of occupation as important to all
interests in the state, it has been and win
be the policy Of the company to give all
proper encouragement to ii.
The general crops of the state are prom
ising. The corn crop which is now secure,
is large. There are at the moment some
reports of injury to cotton, but it is hoped
that the crop will at least be an average
one.
Upon the whole the result from opera
lions of the properties during the past year
should be satisfactory, and it is only just
TO them to say that the success is largely
due to the faithful cooperation Of the
officers and employees of the company.
With the world al peace and confidence
largely restored, 1t Is hoped that the de

section of the country for several years
VIII disappear, and that we win soon enter
upon period of prosperity which will be
shared by all industries, including the rail-
road companies.

The directors of the Central of Georgia
Railway Company held meeting in the
Office of President H. NJ. Conner at noon
yesterday for the purpose of receiving his
annual report, and passing upon other
matters brought before them.
There were only four of the out-of-town
directors here, Messrs. S. r. jacques and
J. F. Hanson of Macon, U. B. Harold Of
Americus, and G. Gunby Jordan of Colum-
bus. The Savannah directors present were

Egan, Messrs. Joseph Hull and A. Vets
burg. The out-of-town directors found 1t
impossible to come in by the Central and
they secured a private car in Macon and
came down by the way of the Southern to
Jesup and the Plant System to Savannah.
The directors were in session nearly two
hours. They discussed the recent damage
to the Centrars main stem by the storm.
Whether this will cut any large figure in
the reduction of the earnings cannot be
told until future reports are made.
The most important matters before the
directors were the report of the president.
and the question of a dividend on the first
preference income bonds. The board de-
cided to pay per cent. interest on these
bonds, which is one-quarter of per cent.
less than the interest paid last year. The
first preference incomes amount to 81, Co.,
600 and the interest al 2 per cent will be
$50 OOO This will take up all but about
$1,000 of the credit balance to the profit
and loss account
Several other matters of interest were
talked over, but there was nothing fur
Their given out for publication. 1t was
thought some time ago that no interest
would be paid on the first income bonds,
and this led a great many people in Sa-
Vannah TO sell what they held of that Sc
curity. The money was made, however,
and the directors decided to pay the in
terest
1t appears, from President Corners re-
port, that the Central's earnings in 1898
were something like $3.50, 900 less than they
were in 1897 The reasons for this are
given in the latter part of the report
