 There are flfty-six harbors that have been surveyed and to which there are charts. There are 200 more that have not been sur veyed, but which are known to Cuban pilots and In which a warship could drop anchor.
 Thb government is now in possession of mans of the country showing the roads of the island, and experts are ready to convert these into military roads capable of standing the strain of field pieces and the tramp of cavalry.
 Landing of troops in. case of trouble would be made probably at Mantanzas.

Naval Officer Says He Will Pray Hard

SPAIN IS BUYING NEW BATTLEsHIPs
And Trying to Negotiate Loan in London Cannot He Definitely Stated When tho Board of Inquiry

Washington, March At Is finally be- lieved that both Spain and this country are getting on war footing, not simply to be prepared for war, but in anticipation of actual war. Naval officers credit the pub lished reports that Spain is buying war ships. and predict that sooner or later we will have to go into the open markets for some as well. A naval officer, one in whose word put implicit faith, assures me that the navy department expects a conflict. Possibly not at once, but before congress adjourns.
 He said: "Our details are all made out. have been trying to find out today what my detail Is. As soon as hostilities begin we who are stationed here, as well as all who are now on shore, will be ordered to sea. But details as to different vessels are all made up ready to be issued at mo- ment's notice Those of us who have not uniforms complete are getting full regu- lation uniforms. Those of us who have our uniforms at home have sent for them.''
 How do you explain Longs utterances and his executive orders?'' asked.
 'H will be found," he said, 'that Long is like Stonewall Jackson. He is a praying Christian; he will pray hard and shoot hard"
 Every preparation is being made at Longs orders. He is a complex character, just as Stonewall Jackson was. It is the straws now which show the way the wind is veering-"

A FUTURE DECISION.
A Georgia Judge Holds That Dealing in Fu-
 lures is Gambling.

Savannah. Ga. March 4.-Judge Emory Speer handed down decision In the United States court today in the case of Waldron & Taighter against J. H. Johnston. He de- cided in favor of the defendant.
 Captain Johnston was sued to recover money advanced for cotton futures in 1S80- S1 The case has been in court since that time. There were several hearings before an auditor and a mnrS of evidence taken. when the case was heard before a master he decided that the money could be re- covered,
 Judge Speer reverses this decision. There is about $sO00 involved In the case. The case was argued yesterday afternoon and this morning. J. R. Saaissy and w. T.. Clay represented the defendant and Col william Gafrad the plaintiffs. a
 Judge epeer held that dealing in cotton futures WIS. gaming, and as gaming IS not recoenized by law, there could be no re- cowery of funds advanceid for that purpose.

MARRIED UNDER
 AN ARMED GUARD I Wealthy Georgia Widow and R. |.
 Smith. HER SON AND A RELATIVE Objected to the Match and SHOre Yen
 eeance on the Groom. 
THE PAIR FLED TO AUGUSTA
The Ceremony Was Performed While Several of Smiths Friends, Heavily Armed, Re- pelled the Attack of the Invaders
 -Bloodshed May Follow
Special to The Age-Herald.

Augusta, Ga, March 4-Mrs. s. A Groves, wealthy and prominent widow of Loncolnton, was married in this city at 6 o'clock this evening to K. L. Smith, a young business man of that town.
 Tine ceremony was performed in the presence of an armed guard. who arrived with Smith this afternoon to prevent threatened violence from Coleman Groves. son of the bride, and Dr. J. w. Caldwell, another member of the Groves family. The bride was too weak from prostration resulting from the excitement of the past few days to stand, and remained in her chair as the marriage ritual was read.
 Sequel to a Horsewl.ipping
 The marriage is the sequel to one of the most sensational horsewhippings in Geor- gia's history. On the 27th of February Smith was attacked in the road near their homes in Lincolnton by Dr. Caldwell and Coleman Groves. He was taken from his buggy and his clothes stripped from his on his bare back with buggy whip. The lash was used by pr. Caldwell. The whip ping was administered, it is alleged, be- cause of Smiths attentions to Mrs. Groves, and when he was restored, half dazed from bloodshed and pain, to his buggy he was commanded to not again show his,presence in the Groves home. This warning he ignored. and finally Mrs. Groves came to this city.
 Armed to the Teeth
 Expecting that an elopement was con- templated, her son and Dr. Caldwell, arm ed to the teeth, followed, and young Groves declared here openly today that if Smith made an attempt to marry his mother he would kill him.
 Smith, however, braved the danger, but a party of friends. armed for an emer- gency, accompanied him here. They ar rived at 5 o'clock this afternoon and re- paired immediately to, the hotel, where Mrs. Groves is stopping and the marriage ceremony was quickly performed. Young Groves and Dr. Caldwell rushed to the scene, but found themselves greatly out numbered and desisted from any attempt at violence.
 It is feared, however, that bloodshed will follow. On account of Mrs. Groves nervous physical condit on her friends tried to dissuade her from marrying this afternoon. but she would not listen to a postponement. All the parties stand high socially at their homes.

FOR NATIONAL QUARANTINE.
v'cksburg Cotton Exchange Urges Legislative
 Action.

vicksburg, Miss, March 1.-The cotton exchange today adopted the following resolution and the secretary was instruct ed to send a copy of the same to each of the senators and representatives from this state with the request that they urge action on the matter.
 Resolved, That we favor system of national quarantine as the only safe guard against contagious diseases from this country; that the state of affairs prevailing during the late epidemic of yellow fever when all state authority was set at defiance should satisfy any one that nothing but national system of quarantine, backed by the United States government, will command the respect of this country
 We therefore request that our repre- sentatfves in congress advocate a national Quarantine and hope that through lne general welfare clause of the constitution, congress will lind some way to protect the lives of tho people of the various states besides contributing to the maintenance hereafter of a republican form of govern ment in such states where epidemics may prevail and which form of government our experience taught us ceased to exist during the late epidemic.

SPAIN PREPARING FOR WAR
By Cable to the Age-H Herald.
 Copyrighted by w. R. Hearst BY FRANK MARSHALL WHITE.


 London. March 4-7All indications in Lon don today are that Spain is pushing every preparation for war with the United States It is. of course, impossible to verify the rumors in connection with spain's trans actions here. but have been informed on the very best authority that her agents have today concluded negotiations for a loan, said to be $40. %, 600.
 The import of this Is that if Spain has obtained this money she will at once pur- chase seven war vessels for which she has been negotiating since the relations be tween Spain and the United States be- came so greatly strained. Of these vessels two, the Captain Prat and Blanco Encala~ da, both the property of Chil, are afioat today in the Pacific. Other vessels which Spain has been trying to acquire are OHig- gins also the property of Chilli, and just completed at Newcastle. The Amazonas and her sister vessel, not yet named, now building for Brazil at Newcastle, and also two other war ships the Marshall Deodoro and Marshal Floriano. building for Brazil at Laseye works, in France.
