A CITY HALL.

"A vi II "A LII.
The FREE PRESS has been urg-
ing the erection of a city hall for
Poplarville, and only last Saturday
did We receive any word of en-
enlargement, when Col. j. q. Der
by called in to talk with US on The
subject. This gentleman not only
coneurred 10 the views expressed
in these columns heretofore in re-
gard to building city hall, but
pointed out many advantages of
having ball that would benefit
each and every citizen of the town.
Col, Derby says he will donate to
the town a nice and suitable lot on
the corner of Main and Broad
streets for this purpose, which ia
indeed q most liberal offer, and
should be great inducement to
the citizens to take this matter In
10 consideration and see what can
be done. II our counciln.en
would just take into consideration
the fact that city hall would De
long step In the development of
our town, and that every step in
that direction enhances the value
of every foot of property within
the city limits, and that it brings
people and money to the town.
they would not sleep satisfied until
some action had been taken In the
matter.
People from the coast are fast
realizing that this part of the coun-
try is more preferable for summer
homes than right on the coast.
and othing has more clearly dem
onstrated the fact than last sum
mer's epidemic. While the peo-
pie on the coast were dying by the
hundreds of diseases which they
acknowledge were due mostly to
local causes, the people of Poplar
vile we're enjoying the best of
health aud fearing no danger OF
diseases unless transported from
an unhealthier section. II we
would just turn our attention to
improvements awhile, we would
soon see the advantages attained.
The building Of city halt is the
first step to be taken, as the needs
of the town demand it, and every
business man aud property owner,
and every loyal citizen, whether
they OVID property or not should
advocate such public improve
ment and speak out on the subject
and let their views be known.
IF there is q citizen who opposes
lRuch a move ment we would like to
hear what he has to say In sup
port of his opposition.
Who will volunteer their ser.
vices ss committee of citizens to
go before the city board at it's next
regular meeting and ask this hon.
orable body to take this matter In
their hands and build a city hall!
Now don't all speak at once but
let's 60 to work and not stop an

fell in the Franco-Prussian war, which
took place today at Chaumont, capital OF
the department of Haute-Marne, Gen.
Chanoine, the minister of war, presiding,
furnished an opportunity for demon

many societies seized, marching past the
monument and shouting "Viye

The Socialist party met today and de
nounced governmental interfer ence with

Madrid, October 16.-La Epooha, the

of La Correspondence independent and
semi-of11ciaD regarding arbitration be.
tween the United States and Spain. 1t
says:
"The negotiations at present are going
on without touching the question Of the
Philippines, which is most obscuTes and
which lends itself to the gravest disssn
sions. Owing to the vagueness and lack
of clearness of the protocol, the commits
sioners are meeting with serious difficult
ties. 1t has been said that if our adver-
satires are obstinate in their exaggerated
demands, Senior Sagasta should address
the European governments asking arbi.
tration at least upon the points as to
which an agreement should not be
reached, but in view of the electoral
struggle now in full vigor in tho United
States and of the declamations of the
jingo press, which affirms without limit
the rights of the oonquelor, 1t is safe to
assume that request for arbitration
would be without avail and serve no other
purpose than loss OF time"

Asks For Transportation to Santa Cruz to
Frustrate Attempt to Overthrow His
Party-Ice'PlantlGiven Santiago Nearly
| Ready For Use.
Santiago, October 16-Gen Calixto
Garcia desires to contradict the statement
made by several newspapers that he is
receiving pay from the United States gov
ernment for his assistance In disbanding
the Cuban troops. He declares that he
| is patriot and is not in need of money
Gen. Garcia had long interview with
Gen. Wood this morning, requesting
transportation to Santa Cruz del Sur.
He told Gen. Wood it was important for
him to be there, in order to. frustrate the
plot to overthrow the supremacy,of those
who had fought for Cuba for years and
to put IN their places non com batants and
immigrants. "
Gen. Wood agreed to provide him with
transportation by the Bessie on her next
trip to Manzanillo, which will probably
be tomorrow.
Gen. Wood has received orders from
Washington to secure information as to
such places in the province of Santiago
as the Spaniards are evacuating and to
send troops thither Immediately as well
as to take over the civil government
He is still awaiting news from Holguin

already been ssdone, have pressed upon
them the fact that by the signature of the
protocol, they utterly relinquished all
claim of sovereignty over and title to
Cuba. If they have not heard it. the
Spaniards will hear the expression of
American surprise that Spain, having SO
Internationally and unequiyocally sur
rendered Cuba, should now advance a
claim or even a suggestion thai the
United States assume the debt of terri
tory, which, though surrendered by
Spain, was not sought for by the United
States as conquest, is not now a possess
sion of the United States, and which has
been freed by the United States, at vast
expense to the United States, for inde-
penden ce now when matured for self
government. Thus. possibly progress has
been achieved negatively. for with the
present light the Americans decline or
will refuse the responsibility of single
peseta of the go-called Cuban debt. A
native American who has been twelve
years in Madrid, has Spanish leaning,
and who is now in Paris, said today to
the correspondent here of the Associated
Press:
Had Spain, when the protocol was
drawn up, believed that the United States
then intended or would subsequently con-
slider taking the Philippine group or any
part of those islands except Manila or
station to be conceded by her, Spain
would not have signed the protocol, woug
have permitted the United States navy to
have reduced her coast cities and would
herself havs gone to extremities, instead
of agreeing 10 the document and giving
up the archipelago
'How then," he was asked, "arises the
statement often heard and printed that
the Spanish commission came to Paris to
save if possible the Philippine islands. -
Because" was the reply, 'the re-
puted purpose of the United States to ac-
quire the Philippine islands, developed
after the protocol was signed and before
the departure of the commission from
Madrid"
This dialogue outlines the multiplying
expressions of apparent surprise at the
alleged sentiment in the United States to
retain more than a coaling station in the
Philippine islands or at most Manila and
the Island of LuZon.
