VIEWS OF THREE
 PROMINENT MEN On America's New Policy of
 CoIonialism. CLEVELAND, CARNEGIE, BRYAN The Sage of Princeton Foresess the End of the Great Republic of the West Bryan Has Faith in His
 Countrymen.
CLEVELAND, D,CARNEGlE, BRYAN

Atlanta, Ga, February 9.-The Semi Weekly Journal, an agricultural paper run in connection with the Atlanta Journal, and the latest venture of Hon. Hoke Smith, in his effort to improve the condition Of the southern farmer, will in tomorrow's issue publish views on the Philippine question from ex-President Cleveland, Hon. ". J. Bryan and Andrew Carnegie.
 The letters of Mir. Cleveland and MT. Car negie were written before the ratification of the treaty by tho senate. The telegram from MT. Bryan was received today.
 MT. Cleveland says: If there is anything that can arrest the attention or challenge the thought of our people in their mad rush toward yawning disaster it is more likely to be the earnest, well informed and pa triotic warnings of the decent press than anything else. Yours truly,
 "GROVER CLEVELAND.'
 MT. Bryan's telegram reads:
 'The battle of Manila does not affect a settlement of the Philippine question. Whether this nation will adopt a colonial policy does not depend upon anything the FiIipinos have done, or can do, but upon the wishes of our people, I have confidence that the American people, when they have a chance to speak, wil reject imperialism

The happiest man aboard the Solace which is now on its way to Manila, is En- sign Watt Tyler Cluverius, who takes in his keeping the heart of one of the fairest daughters of the United States navy. It's owner is Miss Hannah Walker Sampson, the only unmarried daughter of Admiral Sampson.
 The announce ent of the engagement was formally announced to a few friends at the wedding of Miss Olive Harrington Sampson to H. H. Scott or California. a few weeks ago, at which event Miss Han nah Sampson was bridesmaid and Mr. Clu- verius usher.
 Just when the nuptials will take place cannot be authentically announced, as En- sign Cluverius will be in Manila with Ad- miral Dewey for some months yet
 Miss Sampson is a charming young woman of twenty-eight years. She is of the same type of rich, healthy beauty as

Her shapely head is covered with a wealth of luXuriant, wavy hair, which she carries back from the forehead in pompadour style and finishes in a coif- fure la mode. Being a young woman of excellent education and polished man. ners Miss Sampson naturally stands at the head of a very smart set; she Is also a favorite in naval society.
 Young Cluverius is an equally fine fel- low, full of patriotism, and a horn sailor. He is one of the fortunate few who sur vived the Maine disaster. At the outbreak k of the war he was assigned to the Scorpion and won distinction on the little craft for his gallant conduct
 The match is said to be highly desirable to the relatives and friends of both the en- sign and his bride to be, as the Cluverius and Sampson families have been intimate for years.

 In expressing his view, Mir Carnegie says:
 "If the public men of the United States could obtain an insight into the workings of the dependencies (not the colonies) of Great Britain, the case against expansion would be closed.
 "The influence of a superior race upon an inferior race in the tropics is injurious, de- moralizing and never elevating. There is no basis for the claim that American troops in the Philippines can be of service as mis- sionaries; on the contrary, troops, a rule, require missionaries themselves more than the Filipinos.
 '"rhere is no basis for the claim that the United States will increase it commerce by the possession of these unhealthy climes. The president has given the trade away to the nations nearer to it than We are. i The open door to the foreigners means the 1 closed door to the Americans.
 "There is no basis for the claim that l that we are an imperial world power or can l become such until we change our habits. l The republic is an industrial hive without l army and navy in comparison with the 1 armies and navies of imperial powers. We 1 are only making ourselves ridiculous, with l our war lord at our head, and only three i battleships and 50,000 troops at his back 1 Imperialism is the craze of the hour.

Adventurers Seeking Fortunes

He says there are a number of specula- tors and adventurers continually arriving in Santiago, with hopes of making fortunes in short order. But so far he hasn1 heard of any being made. There has been no very decided increase in the value of property, and the citizens have so nearly resumed their former habits and customs that there is not much to be made in trading The impression in Santiago, he says, is that the

 When General Shafters army left the city" said he, they did so in a great hurry, and in some instances left the tents of their camps standing, left many of their rifles and a great deal of baggage. The government afterwards had all of this stuff which the Cubans hadn't stolen, gathered up, of course, but there are still num- Der of mementoes of General Shafter's visit to the Santiago district. When the First landed. month and half after the battle, there were still a number of rifles to be picked up on San Juan hill, which Is only aDout three miles from where we are en- camped. but they have all been cleared away since that time In fact the whole district has been cleared of all portable souvenirs of the fight. A strong wire fence had to be put around the tree under winch the negotiations for the surrender were carried on to keep the entire tree from be- ing pulled to pieces. Everything that could be taken away has been removed from the wrecks of the Spanish vessels destroyed in the naval battle.

 '"The men in the Huntsville company of our regiment, who are stationed in Morro Castle, have dived down into the wreck of the Reina Mercedes and recovered the en- tire silver service of that vessel The trans port Mississippi ran over the wreck of the Merrimac last month, and broke off the main mast of that vessel. l suppose by this time it has been cut up and manufac tured into wallxing-sticks and other wooden nov cities. In fact the relic hunters have taken nearly everything in sight"
 Captain Walker seems to be relic hunter himself in a small way, as he brought back with him a Mauser and Krag-Jorgensen rifle, a sword used by a Spanish officer, and other mementoes of the battlefields.
 The officers have made great many trips of exploration out from Santiago, Captain Walker says. There is a little narrow gauge railroad about ten miles in length which runs out to some ore mines, and the officials have been very kind in placing their trains at the disposal of the American officers, and a number of very pleasant trips have been made over the road.
