PRESIDENT WILL PROBABLY
MAKE HIM A MILITARY
GOVERNOR.

A special from Washington to the
New York World says:
President Mckinley has not yet def
nitely decided where he will assign
Major General Fltzhugh Lee, former
Consul General to Cuba. 1t is known,
however, that the ultimate destination
of General Lee will be the Philippines
or Cuba, where he will be put in COM
mand of the army of occupation nd
niade military governor.
General Lee did not know until
Wednesday what his position in the
army would be. About three weeks
ago he had a short conference with the
President and Secretary Alger regard
ing the matter, and his rank then was
not in anyway mentioned. Secret'ry
Alger and the President informed him
during the conversation that he wocld
be given an important command in tie
volunteer army.
1t is stated on semi-official authority
that General Lee will be put IN Charge
of the Virginia troops at their camp,
and will supervise their training for
active service. He will probably re-
main there for n short lime, until some
plan is agreed upon leg arding the
Philippine Islands aud Cuba.
Thu Cuban 6 vernment, it is bel ey-
ed, will request that he be placed in
charge OF the island as its military
governor until stable government is
established. This matter has all eady
been under discussion, aud both tue
President and Secretary Alger are in-
clined to think that he would be the |
best possible man for the place. While |
General Lee has always maintained a
strict reserve dUripg his official career
his views on Cuban indie
pendence, it is known that he feels very
kindly owarJs the people Of he island,
Ind has boen pro Cuban from the time
le Ianded there as Consul General.

Some OF the colored reyiyalists in
the rural districts Of Geoi gia are.quick
to make events o. the day serve their
purposes. One Of these has taken the
trouble with Spain for his theme, with
the following result:

De Baptists on de water,

UP TO A DOLLAR AND A-HALF
IN CHICAGO.

Chicago, May 5.-One dol lar and
fifty cents Per busbel was the price Of
May wheat at the end Of today's ses-
sion Of the board of trade.
This represents an advance since
yesterday Of 20 cents. July wheat
gained 80.
Today's advance was the most re-
markablc in many years. Famine of
gram abroad and enormous sales of
American wheat to fill the empty gra-
n1ries tf Europe caused the advance
here.
Shorts were driven to cover and one
small failure was announced.
Corn ruled dull, closing I cent higher
Oats gained 7. Provisions were dull,
declining five cents for pork and u
cents each for lard and ribs.
New York, May 5.-The sensational
feature in wheat this afternoon was
furnished by the May option. In steady
leaps and bounds OF several cents at a
clip it bowled along until stopped by
the closing gong at S1.45, the highest
price since the days of "Old Hutch"
On this basis Cash No. 2 red would |
be nominally worth $t.47 in this market
In keeping with the jump in wheat
here has been a corresponding big adj
i'tion to the price of flour, amounting
o 70 cents for the week,
Madrid, May g. Bulletin, ]-Senor
Minister OF finance an
bounced in the Congress today that The
official Gazette will shortly publish a
ecree forbidding the export of wheat.

Dig down to the cause CT your sick-
ness, if You want to get well and stay

irritating poisons of fermenting, putrid
food, left in the stomach by Indigestion

ness, dizziness, stomachache, nausea,
irritability, and all the other well
Known symptoms OF indigestion.
They also cause many pains and
disorders which are often laid to other
causes and hence are non e' lily cured
But as soon as the poisons are removed
all these symptoms and disorders dis
appear, because there is nothing left

FRANCE is OUR FRIEND.

In an interview with Casimir-P erier
former President Of the French Re-
public, in many respects the most DILL
liant and authoritative of French state e
men, for the purpose of getting his
opinion in reply to the charge that the
French nation is bitterly hostile to the
United States and correspondingly
friendly to Spain, what he said may be
taken ss the most competent, sober
analysis possible of the real attitude OF
the people Of France to-day. He
said:
at is not strictly accurate to say
France is backing up Swain morally;
neither would the staten cnt bs cor
rect that large section of French
men are in opposition to SPAN. My
observation leads me to believe the
position of France toward Spain is
one of sympathetic commiseration.
France finds herself in a position where
she rather regrets than takes sides
She regrets that war should have
broken out between our friendly neigh
Dor Spain and our traditional friend
and sister republic, the United States
Il decline to discuss the merits Of
this war, but as Frenchman I favor
liberty wherever it be brought about.
There is no danger that the concord
which has hitherto so happily existed
between France and the United States
will be interrupted.
During war times heated words
hastily spoken, noisy threats thought
lessly uttered, must not be accepted
as the sober judgment OF either people.
No matter how kindly we may feel
toward Spain, the common respect and
apI recitation which have existed be-
tween France and the United States,
fostered for more than four genera
tons, cannot be destroyed by the i'm
patient or even passionate expressions
Of an excited hour, A friendship based |
upon valuable aid in the war for Ameri- |
can independence, developed in many |
ways DUNG century and a.quarter,
cannot be broken or even seriously |
impaired without sustained cause.
at is easy for nations to find excuses
to quarrel, if they lie DESTROYS of so
doing. 1t is dificuIt-perhaps i'm
possible-to find among nations foun-
dalton for friendship so deep and broad
based as that laid by France and the
United States when the latter fought
for her freedom"

MOSBY SHEDS TEARS.

Among those who stood at a window
and watched the First Infantry, U. S.
A., march to the ferry, was Colonel
Mosby, the noted ex-Confederate SOL
der. The tears stole down his cheeks
and his face twitched as he noted the
enthusiasm on the sidewalks and cross
ings and saw the soldiers presentei
with flowers, and placing his arm on q
friends shoulder he said: "Ah, me
it carries my mind back 10 the old
days. That's the way we left for the
war. But We were a sorry looking
lot when we got back. San Francisco

pressed his high opinion of the attack
made by the vessels OF the Uni ed
States, especially praising the unusua
valor displayed by Commodore Dewey's
feet in following the Spanish warsh ps
into the harbor of Mai ila and forcing
then to fight. In commenting on this
fact His Majesty said:
"There is evidently something be-
SIDES smar ness and commercialism in
tho Yankee blood. These follows at
Cavite have fought like veterans"
Emperor William, it is reported, is
inclined, in his private capacity, to be
on the side of the United States; but,
in view Of the grave dynastic interes o
involved in Spain by the war, he is
usually cautious in expressing his views
on the situation. Grave apprehension,
as to the ultimate fate of the Spanish
dynasty, is felt in all the Courts of
Europe, and the Queen Regent of
Spain has been the recipient since tie
battle of Manila of marks of sympathy
not only from Emperor William, but
also from Queen Victoria, and nearly
every other one of the crowned heads
Of Europe.
