GETTING At THE FACTS.

If the Secretary of War continues to
give the officers who were in charge of the
home camps a chance to talk the truth re-
speeding the cause of the unnecessary suf-
ferings and hardships endured by the vol
unteers in the home camps will be discov-
cred without the help of an investigating
commission. Quite a bunch of interesting
facts were given to the public at Lexington.
KY, on Tuesday in the presence Of the
Secretary of War, who was inspecting the
military camp there. During the talk
between the Secretary and the army Off
GERS Gen. Sanger and Gen. Wiley spoke
their minds quite freely They admitted
that much of the sickness in the camps
might have been prevented if the quar-
termaster and medical departments had
been efficiently managed.
The heads of both these departments
were present when the generals made their
accusations. Among other things Gen.
Sanger said that the physician in charge
of the Chickamauga camp was the very
rankest of a veterinary surgeon and that
he did not know the word "dsinfectant."
Gen Wiley said that he tried to get the
quartermaster at the Chickamauga camp
to provide boilers In which to boil water
for drinking purposes, and could not Get
him to do so. The general said he finally
purchased boilers with his own money,
but that by that time typhoid fever had
got a foothold in the camp. Doubtless If
the water used for drinking purposes had
been boiled from the time the camp was
~
would have been very little if any fever
in that camp. In fact, it is doubtful If
there would have been much typhoid fever
in any of the camps if proper precautions
against it had been taken
In our dispatches yesterday Secretary
Alger was quoted as saying in speech
at the camp at Knoxville that the war de-
partment did not know that the condi-
ton of the camp at Chickamauga was elf
ferent from what the official reports
showed it to be-that the reports were
always favorable Continuing his remarks
he said that camp would have been broken
up long before il was if the war depart
ment had known that the state of affairs
there was as bad as reported in the news
papers. He declared that the commanders
of the camps were responsible for their
condition and that If they had been neg
Hgent of their duty they would be held
TO a strict account
Some of the camp commanders seem 10
think that there is trouble In store for
them, that Is why probably that some of
them are speaking out and telling of the
short comings of the quartermaster and
medical departments. When the truth Is
obtained it will be found doubtless that
obstinacy, ignorance and incompetency
were responsible for many of the things
which brought the management of the
war into disrepute

A True CabeIIerO.

Well in the middle of the grounds stands
Gen. Anderson's headquarters, says Har-
per's Weekly. AS we went up the steps
a tall man, rather ehabbily dressed, pre-
ceded US. We noticed his military bear
ing and were told that he was the captain
of one of the Spanish men-of-war which
lies with projecting spars at the bottom
of Cavite harbor Following his footsteps

Senior, 1 borrowed some time ago. 5000

He turned his profile towards u.s. and
we noticed how thin he looked. He must
have starved himself to collect the money

old-fashioned bow.

This is one year in which every white
voter in Georgia should make il a point
TO 80 to the polls and vote the straight
Democratic ticket. Newspaper reports
have gone abroad to the effect that there
is imminent danger of the state falling
into the hands of a Republican Populist
fusion-in short that negro domination"
as in North Carolina, is threatened. The
Democrats should turn out and prove TO
the world, and to prospective immigrants
and investors especially, that this is one
state which purposes to continue under
the government of the intelligent, con-
servatve and careful part of its popuIa-
ton. Considerable injury will be done the
state if the belief once gets abroad that
ignorant and Incompetent and possibly
corrupt politicians stand a chance of cap
turing the state. Georgians, of course
know that there is no such chance, ana
they must make their neighbors and
friends Of other states know it also,

SPANS REQUEST FOR DELAY.


What is the meaning Of SPANS request
for delay in the evacuation Of Cuba? sure
~ she cannot entertain the hope that
something will occur before the treaty OF
peace is signed that Will enable her 10
Keep the island. And yet what other rea-
son can she have for wanting TO retain
possession Of it for five months or more?
The terms of the protocol are that the ISL
and shall be evacuated Immediately. Il is
of course understood that a reasonable
time must be allowed for the em5arkation
OF troops.
Spain now asks that the embarkation Of
troops joe begun at the eastern end of
the island and that the troops at the
western end De embarked last. That would
leave Havana in the possession Of Spain
until the last Of the Spanish troops left
the island Spain also asks that the time
fixed for the final evacuation Of the island
by her military force be not sooner than
Feb D. and that her administration Of
public affairs be continued in force until
the ratification of the treaty of peace by
the two governments.
II is impossible 10 say with any degree
of certainty when the treaty of peace will
be ratified. The negotiations of the peace
commissioners may drag along for months
and when they are completed the treaty
may be the subject to a lengthy discus
sion in our Senate and in the Spanish
Cortes.- 1t would be a mistake for our
government TO grant the request of Spain.
There would, in all probability be trou-
bic in Cuba if it should be granted. There
is bad feeling between the Spaniards and
Cubans. and it would show itself in acts
of violence all over the island. Besides,
to permit the Spaniards to retain posses
sion Of the island for several
months under existing circumstances
would not only delay the estab-
lshment Of a new government there, but it
would also greatly interfere with the work
of restoring order and getting the people
interested in industrial and business pur-
suits AS long as the Spaniards are in
possession of the island the people VIII
not give their undivided attention to the
occupations of peace.
If the Spaniards do not hope that some
thing might turn up TO their advantage If
permitted to remain in possession of Gu
ba until the treaty is signed, why is 1t
that they want to remain there longer
than the protocol permits them? Why is
it that they want to join Cuoa to the
Philippine question? Do they think that
there is going to be trouble between the
United States and one or more of the
Powers OF Europe over the Philippines
and that If they are stin in Cuba when
the trouble comes, they will have a chance
to stay there? If that is not the pur-
pose of their request. what is it? Can it
| be possible that they simply want more
time to plumber Cuba? If that is their
| purpose it can be seen at once that they
should be required to evacuate the ISL
and as quickly as they can get ships to
carry them to Spain. But whatever their
purpose is in wishing to remain their re-
quest should not be granted. The proto-
col should be adhered to strictly. Any
considerable departure from its terms
would likely be productive of trouble.

The reasons which induced the British
Board of Trade 10 establish the winter
load line for vessels loading at Northern
ports are Just as strong now as they have
been at any previous time. II they were
conclusive at the TINE the rule was adopt
ca, they are so sun There has been no
change in the conditions at sea, and the
improvements in maritime architecture and
machinery have not given shipping i'm
munity from icebergs, fogs and winter
storms. The shipping men of Norfolk
have invited the British Board Of Trade
to keep these facts in mind when it is con-
sidering the appeal of Boston and New
York for the abolition of the winter load
line. All Southern ports should sustain the
fight against changing the rule. If South
ern ports have natural advantages over
Northern ports, they should have the ben
efits accruing from them.

The Eleventh District Fight.
From the Greenville Is. c. News Dem.)

The Georgia Democrats, like those OF
North Carolina, have been steered up
against sawdust game, and have had a
silver brick sold unto them. They were
lured to accept the Populist doctrine OF
free silver coinage in direct violation of
the teachings, traditions and principles OF
Democracy. Now they find themselves
confronted by a Populist, negro and radi-
cal combination. OF course, In an issue
like that no gold Democrat will hesitate
TO give his vote, influence money and la
Dor to the white mans side. When there
Is a question of pure white or mongrel
state government considerations of the
currency are nothing. II Is evident that
Mr. Gambler the Democratic nominee for
Governor of Georgia, knew what he was
doing when at the beginning of his cam
paign he said no sound money man would
be excluded from the Democratic party
