 factory Arrangement
Special to the Age-Herald.

Special to the Age-Herald
 Florence, Ala. April 20.-At the meeting of the city council called in special ses- sion last night, Mayor Weakley reported a satisfactory settlement, or arrangement of the water works question. He has just returned from Baltimore, where he had a conference with the owners of the water works bonds, and received assurances that the city's creditors would grant any reasonable faYors and extensions. The business administration of the city gov ernment has been such as to inspire con- fidence in the ability of Florence to meet her obligations, and the debt will be paid dollar for dollar.
 Mnton Williams, prosperous and well known farmer of this county, died at his home in the Lexington neighborhood, at the age of 42 years. He was buried yes- terday in the North Carolina cemetery, near the place of his death. He had been sick some weeks with pneumonia.
 United States Commissioner Smith yes- terday bound over to the federal grand jury J. l.. Williams, one of the best known farmers of the northern end of the county, the charge against him being obtaining a pension fee larger than allowed by law. The facts seem to be that Williams was instrumental in securing pension for Mrs. w. W. Burnett, the sum amounting to about s1 300. Of this amount Williams claimed $10O as fee. Mrs. Burnett re- fused to pay the sum and was sued in justice court verdict being given Will Hams. In this way the matter was given publicity and brought to the attention of the government. Special Examiner Good lett was sent to the county and investigat- ed with the result above named. Williams is prominently connected and gave bond for $30O.

COL. COOK MAY
 BE RETIRED
A Medical Board Examination Shows Him Unfit for Ac-
 tive Field Duty.

Atlanta, April 2O.-Colonel II. G. Cook, who left Fort McPherson last night at the head of the regiment for Tampa, will prob ably be retired in few days because of disability.
 Colonel Cook, before his departure, was examined by a medical board composed of Colonel Peter Cleary, chief surgeon of the Department of the Gulf; Major Blair D. Taylor and Captain R. s. Woodson of Fort McPherson.
 The examination convinced the doctors that Colonel Cook was not in condition to take up active service in the field, and a report to that effect was submitted to Gen. eral Graham, the department commander General Graham left last night for Key West, but it is believed the report of the medical board was forwarded to Washing ton and that the order for Colonel Cooks retirement will be announced in few days
 Colonel Cook, although examined by the board shortly before his train left told a few friends that he expected to go to Cuba before he would return to Atlanta.
 Lieutenant-Colonel Henry B. Freeman of the Fifth Infantry, who has been in charge of the Osage Indian agency at Pawhuska OkidhoIhd, mas peen oruereu 10 Joln ms regiment at Tampa, and may temporarily succeed Colonel Cook. The senior leuten- ant-colonel of infantry is Colonel Edgar R. Kellogg of the Tenth Infantry. He was until recently in command of the Fort Sill, Oklahoma, but is now en route to Mobile, where the Tenth is to be stationed.
 Colonel Cook is 61 years old. He was brevetted for gallant service during the Atlanta campaign and in the battle of Jonesboro, Ga. He was at one time post commander at Fort Sheridan, Ill.

THE LADRoNE ISLANDS
A Good Coaling Station to Take From
Spain

SAN FRANCISCO, June 9.-The Evening
Post will say today that the cruiser Char
lesion will not &c to the Philippines i'm
mediately, but that her destination Is the
Island of Guahan, in the Ladrone groupe,
which are controlled by the Spanish and
which are about 1900 miles from Manila
and $500 miles from Honolulu. The chief
city of Guahan is exceedingly we'll fortified
for such small place and affords one Of the
best harbors and coaling stations in the
Pacific. About six months ago the fortifica-
tons were strengthened by the Spanish to
present a formidable resistance in case of
attack. The Post says that the United
States will seize the group and use the
island of Guahan for a Pacific coaling sta
ton in addition to any others she may
seize in the future. The Charleston, the
Post continues, was. ordered, to wait at
Honolulu for the first fleet of transports
that left this city and to take the ships to-
the Ladrones. 1t Is asserted that the artil-
iery which went on the Picking was really
intended to garrison the forts at Guahan and
that after quiet Is restored and the islands
are under the control of the United States
the Charleston will, with the transports, go
to Manila. 1t is said that the Monadnock
will not stay at Honolulu but will proceed
to the Ladrones and there remain as per-
manent guardian of the interestH of the
United States

GENERAL H. S. GOBLIN
To Be Promoted to Be a Brigadier
General


WASHINGTON, June 9.-The President
gave assurances today that the appoint
ment of General II. S. Goblin of Lebanon,
Pa, as brigadier general of volunteers
would be made, and that his nomination
would be among the next sent to the Senate
for confirmation.
General Goblin is the commanderin-ch chief
of the G. A. r. and the Pennsylvania dele
cation has been making a strong fight for
his appointment as well as that of General
Wiley, which was recently made.
Some interest attached to a call of Sena-
tor Lodge of ssachusetts and Repre-
sentative Newlands of Nevada, who came
to the White House together, in view of
their radical pro- Hawaiian annexation at
titude in the respective Houses, added to
their membership in the respective Foreign
Affairs Committees. 1t Immediately gave
rise to report that there was to be con-
ference between them and the President on
Hawaiian action in Congress. 1t was stated,
however, that their coming together was
accidental and that they saw the President
separately Both denied that their visit
had any reference to Hawaii, both coming
on state matters, Mr.. Newlands making a
plea for full battalion quota from Nevada
under the second volunteer call.
Senator Burrows of Michigan, who saw
the President for a little while today, said
on leaving that he was In favor of holding
Congress in session all the summer If neces-
sary to secure annexation of Hawaii. He
added that he was certain of a safe major
ity for annexation in the Senate, and that
it would be taken up as soon as the House
acts.

A SURE CURE
One Infallible Remedy for Phthisis
Pulmonalis

DENVER, Colo, June 9.-The feature of
the fifty-hrst annual convention of the
American Medical Association now in
session in this city was a remarkable adj
dress at the forenoon session by DR.. ]. r.
Murphy of Chicago, who, although still a
young man, is recognized as one of the
greatest living surgeons. DR.. Murphy's
paper was entirely upon the subject of tie
lungs, but with special reference to the
discovery by him of cure for consump-
tion or tuberculosis of the lungs. The dis
covery was made public today for the first
time and its announcement aroused great
enthusiasm among the assembled physic-
ians. DIR. Murphy's new treatment is
based upon the fact that the sore spots
in the lungs have natural tendency to
heal, the healing process being retarded
or prevented by the constant expansion
of the tissue in breathing. The treat
ment consists in the introduction of pure
nitrogen into the lung cavity through a
hypodermic needle. The action of the nj
trogen congresses the lung and gives an
entire rest. After a few weeks the nitrogen
in withdrawn and air admitted, the lung
expanding to its usual dimensions. If 1t
be found that a perfect cure had not been
effected. the nitrogen can again be used
The treatment of tuberculosis thus by
means of compression is not a new theory,
but the application is new. DR.. Murphy
announced that five patients whom he
had treated in this manner were cured In
four to eight weeks. He declared that I'M
less the lung is entirely gone, permanent
cure can be effected. On his return to
Chicago, he will use his treatment on $50
consumptive patients in the Cook County
Hospital.

SUSPICIOUS SHIPS
Trying to Dodge the Blockade or
Havana


KEY WEST. June 9. 1880 a. m.-Four sus-
picious looking vessels, thought to be Span
ish warships, are or have been attempting
to elude the blockading squadron off Ha-
vana and enter that port. When last seen,
on the night before last, they were in Mich

lowed them and when within speaking dis

strangers answered with three masthead
lights, which was not the required signal
and Immediately thereafter they put out
all their lights. The gunboat cruised after
the strangers for two or three miles, once
approaching with 1000 yards, but eventu-
ally abandoned the chase and reported to
the nearest ship of the United States fleet
Advices were then sent to Commodore
Watson by the government tug and he dis

The commander of the eunboat which
followed the vessels says he is satisfied
that they were Spanish warships, either
trying to get into Havana or lying in wait

TAXATION OF TEA
Leads the Dealers to Replenish Their
Stocks

TACOMA, Wash, June Sit is reported
here that importers are making a quiet
and extraordinary effort to hurry all the
tea possible into America before the pros
pective high war duty shall become effec-
tive, and that probably at least four Of
the Northern Pacific Steamship Company's
fleet of large tea steamers would arrive
here this month, an exceptionally large
number. In view of the fact that the gov
ernments securing these steamers for use
of transports, it is inferred that the YES
sells may be loaded with tea at the nearest
available point and rushed to Tacoma be-
fore July l, saving thousands of dollars
duty, which would go to Uncle Sam after
the war revenue law became operative.
and at the same time hurry the boats
along for service in embarking troops to
Manila.
Pacific Coast officials here can say moth
ing about such move, claiming thatar-
for freight coming this way
are made on the Asiatic side.

MERRIMAC HEROES
Cannot Hope for Early Return to
Liberty

WITH THE BLOCKADING FLEET,
OFF SANTIAGO, June S.-(Via Mole St.
Nicholas, June 9, p. m.) Copyrighted,
1898, by the Associated Press.) Lieut. Hob
son and his heroic companions in the ex-
plot of sinking the collier Merrimac in the
entrance to the harbor of Santiago will not
be exchanged for some time.
Today Admiral Cervera sent a flag of
truce to Admiral Sampson with message
that the prisoners were in the hands of the
military authorities, and that their case had
been referred by the military governor of
Santiago to Governor General Blanco. The
plan of exchange submitted by Admiral
Sampson to Admiral Cervera is thus tenn
porarily frustrated. The United States
cruiser Marblehead and the auxiliary cruis-
ers Yankee and st. Louis were successful
in cutting the cable at Guantanamo yester-
day, after firing on Spanish gunboat and
the old-fa shioned Notifications there.
Cuba is thus cut off from all communica-
ton with the outside world. The army of
invasion is eagerly awaited, and every
thing is ready for its reception.

A JEWISH COUNSEL
To Prevent Detection of the Rising
Generation

Generation
NEW YORK, June San important con-
ference of members of the Jewish faith
of this country and Canada, which may
effect important and radical changes in
that religion, is sitting in the Spanish and
Portuguese synagogues here. The con-
ference is the outcome of a great deal of
discussion among the orthodox Jews, who
have felt for some time that too many of
the younger element of the faith were
slipping away from 1t and they began to
talk of methods for preventing defections
Among the leaders in the movement
were Rev. Doctors Pierramendez of the
Spanish and Portuguese synagogue, and
Rev. DR.. M. Dezola of Montreal. Upon
their recommendation 5000 invitations were
sent to all the prominent ministers and
laymen of the Jewish faith in this country
and Canada to attend this conference. The
questions under discussion have resolved
themselves under three heads as follows
1.-THE Sabbath, Zionism and orthodox
congregations
The conference, it was said, may result
in a radical departure from some of the
observances of the Jewish faith that have
obtained for ages.

Harbor Defenses

SAN FRANCISCO. June glowing to the
fact that many submarine mines and tor
pedoes have recently been placed in the
bay here, navigation has become very diff
ficult. Army officers have been making
trips with the captains of ferryboats, for
the purpose of indicating the restricted
course over which they will hereafter be
permitted to sail. Ships will not be allowed
to move after specified hour at night, and
incoming vessels will be required to wait
outside until given permission to enter.
The submarine defenses are particularly
numerous about Alcatraz and Lime point.
and are known to be so laid as to make ii
practically impossible for hostile vessel
to enter the Golden Gate.

SPANISH SYMPATHY
Fails to Excuse Violation of Maritime
Laws

PHILADELPHIA, June 9.-Captain
Aarhuus of the German steamer Schleswig
which has arrived here from Kingston,
Jamaica, was given a hearing before Col
lector of the Port Thomas for violation of
the maritime laws in attempting to enter
this port without first having obtained clear
ance papers from the custom officers Of
Kingston. After hearing his case, Collector
Thomas decided that the captain should
make a deposit of $500 for his liabilities
pending final action.
Captain Aarhuus refused to deposit the
sum and the case was referred to Washing
ton for final action. Meanwhile the Schles-
wig is in the custody of the customs author
tiles.
According to a dispatch from Kingston
dated May 29th, Captain Aarhuus openly
