MADE TODAY OF THE PINE BLUFF & ARK. RIVER RY.,
 WITH A VIEW OF
EXTENDING THE ROAD.
It Is Also Rumored That Several Offices Will be Removed
 To JOnesb0ro.

Mir. Russell Harding, vlce-presi. dent and general manager, and MT. T, H. Britton, general superin tend ent, Of tne Cotton Belt, arrived in Pine Buff on their special cars, the "Giadys" and "Arkansas Traveller" /" Yesterday afternoon they inspected the line of the Pine Bluff and Ar kansas River Railroad which branches from the main line at Rob Roy and runs to Engli,h. The in- speetion was made with a view of extending the road, and it is most probable the extension will be made very soon, although nothing deti- nite could be learned from the officials of the road. who refused to talk upon the matter.
 It is understood that the presence of the two officials here has some thing 10 do with the prospective re- moyal of several offices from the shops 10 Jonesboro Tbese offices were recently brought hefs from JoDesboro, and their removal back to that place, the officials seem fo thlnk. would facilitate operations of the road
 Messrs. Harding and Britain were eompanied by their secreta- ries. After an inspeetil of the shops this afternoon the party left for points north on the road.

CUBANS' CHOICE TT IS ANNEXATION OR AN INDEPENDENT REPUB-
 LlC.
PRESIDENT HAS A PLAN
For Ascertaining the Will of the Gu Gen. Brooke Thinks They
 Will Choose Independence.

New York, July 12.- According to the correspondent of the World at Washington President Mckinley is working energeticaIly upon plan Q subnit the question Of independ- eaee or annexation for the people of Cuba. He believes that they would vote for annexaticn.
 Reports from Governor General Brooke indicate a contrary view, but the President has received con fdential letters from influential rep entatiYes of commercial interests and from other interests in and about Havana, which have convinc. ed him that Gen. Brooke is mlstak : CD, and that the people in the vest ern portion Of the island, as well as those in the eastern portion, would gladly vote for territorial govern ment under the greater republic.
 These confidential reports reveal a good deal more diseord among the provincial rulers than is usu- ally believed to exis
 The policy applied to the govern ment of the provinces in the west era end of the islaad==Plnar del Rio, Havana and Matanzas-which are directly under the supervision q Gen. Brooke, is, for instance, radically different from that in. augurated by Gen. Leotard Wood, military commander of S4ntiago
 The government of Santiago is locked upon by the President as more desirable than that io the western provinces. Gen. Wood, while recently here, made a personal report to the President, who in dorsed his policy and urged it's continuance.
 Gen. Wood, it E learned, made many suggestions which will be published for the guidance of the commanders Of other Cuban prov ieeeq. The President inquired par | cuar,y as to the extent of the sentiment for and against annexa ti9n.
 Gen. Wood replied that he was convinced that annexation would be carried by four to ooe in Santiago.

that Colonel Du Patty de Clam was
liberated at 3 o'clock yesterday after
noon. He Immediately drove to his
home and retired to bed, alleging ex-
cessive fatigue. He declined to see
anybody.
General Burgiere, military general
of Paris, has the power to override
the decision that there is no case
against Colonel Du Patty de Clam, but
it is understood that he will coun
tersign the acquittal. Nothing is yet
known Of the actual grounds Of the
acqulttal, but it is reported tahat Du
Patty de Clam was exoneratcd because
it was proved that he acted under or
ders from Generals Come and Des
Boisdeffre, against whom disciplinary
measures are imminent. If this is
confirmed it will prove that the effort
of the general staff to make Du Patty
de Clam a scapegoat has failed.
General Rogat and Major Cuignet,
who were the chief witnesses against
Dreyfus in the proceedings in the
court of CESSATION, each maintain that
they have absolute proof of Du Patty
de Clans forgeries and intrigue. If
their statements, which it was be-
lieved at the time were made to shield
the general staff, are discredited,
nothing will remain against Dreyfus.

Senator Burrows Thinks a Blunder
Was Made in Selling Philip
pine Archipelago.
CANNOT ABANDON II NOW
Will Have to Fight 1t Out, but the
Michigan Man. Fears the
War Will Injnre the
Republicans.

Washington, Aug. 2.-Senator Muir
rows, of Michigan, in an interview
with a Post reporter, said:
1T is my judgment that if the war
in the Philippines is still in progress
next year and the end is not then in
sight the situation will be to. the dis
advantage of the republican party.
The only hope for the party and the
country, l might add, is in o speedy
change of conditions in the Philip
pines. Unless the war in the Philip
pines speedily ends, it will become an
important political factor, and its CON
tinuance will make the outlook for
republican success uncertain to say
the least. If l could have had my way
we would have simply taken a coaling
station or a base of supplies in the
island of Luzon; we would not have
paid a penny to Spain, and we would
have secured u foothold in the east
without the sacrifice of life and
money. I believe in finding new mar
kets for u people, who are the great
est producers the world has known,
and the orient doubtless offers us a
great opportunity.
No n yet knows what POSSIBLE
tiles I to be afforded by China,
which seems now to be staggering to
her fall. If there is to be a great de-
velopment in that direction l certain
ly want the United States to have q
hare. AT the same time, we must not
overlook the fact that we may run
counter at any moment to England,
France or Germany, and l believe that
England, now apparently SO friendly,
will strike at us the moment we cross
her threshold. More than this, 1 say
frankly that if our participation in
the eastern trade is to be purchased
ut the cost of an indefinite war in the
Philippines, we will pay "a very large
price for what we receive"
How would you meet the present
situation?"
THE president is acting wisely, in
my opinion, in e~ndeavoring to restore
peace and order in the Philippines by
sending an increased army to the ISL
ands. We must remember, however,
that although we have now been fight
ing some time we have conquered n
territory only about fifty miles north
of Manila and fifteen miles 10 the
south-a mere bagatelle compared
with the immense area of the
archipelago. If the additional troops
sent to General Otis cannot restore
peace congress will have to deal with
the problem, and ought to have by
the LIST of December some definite in
formation on which to act"
You would not abandon the ISL
nnds?" suggested the reporter.
II do not see how we can get away
now" said the senator.
I'VE cannot surrender u ships to
A%guinaldo and say to him that he can
murder our soldiers. Now hat we have
commenced the only thing we can
do is to end the conflict as soon as
possible. After that is done the ques-
ton of the disposition of the islands
or their permanent retention rests
with the people and with congress-"
