DEAD HEROES BURIED.
Bodies or $50 Americans Who Fell In

Bodies or $50 Americans Who Fell In
Cuba Iss-Interred at Washington. .
With full military honors, in the
presence of President Mckinley and
his cabinet and multitude of people,
the bodies of 336 dead heroes who
gave their lives for their country in
Cuba or Porto Rico during the Span
ish-American war, were consigned to
their last resting place in Arlington
cemetery i'll Washington, Thursday
afternoon.
The bodies of tlfe Spanish war dead
were brought to New York last week
by the steamer Crook in order that
they might rest forever in the soil of
their native land.
In accordance with the directions of
the president, every honor, military
and civil, was shown to the nation 8
heroes. The government departments
and the federal courts were all closed
Mt noon, and the flags over the gov
ernment buildings, the barracks, navy
yards and the forts along the Potomac
were halfmasted. The military es-
cort comprised all the artillery troops
at the Washington barracks. a troop
of cavalry from Fort Myer, battalion
of marines from the navy yard and the
entire national guard of the District of
Columbia.
Colonel Francis P. Guenther, of the
Fourth artillery, had command of the
troops and charge of the military cere-
monies. The Gay was perfect. The
sun blazed from cloudless sky and
the scene in the historic cemetery
overlooking the Potomac river and the
white walls of the nations capitol was
profoundly impressive.
The site selected for the interment
is one of the most beautiful in the
cemetery. 1t is in direct line about
onc-half mile south of the old Lee
mansion on the top of the slope toward
the river. Here in parallel lines were
the newly made graves with the flag
drarcd caskets containing the bodies
of the dead soldiers at their sides.
About the graves were formed the mill
tary in imposing array, while in the
group stood the president, the mem
hers of his cabinet, and other distin-
guished functionaries Of the govern
ment. Back and around these was the
vast concourse of people.
The customary volleys were fired,
taps were sounded and military dirges
were played by the bands nrn.eo'
i:-:n-y1 --i3, ,urnt of the bodies began
at the conclu sion of the ceremonies
and the departure of the militia.

THE J.. l. n. WINS.
Georgia railroad Lease Litigation Set

Georgia railroad Lease Litigation Set
tied by Judge Pardee.
An Atlanta dispatch says: There Is
no longer any question about the fu-
ture control of tho Georgia railroad.
Judge Don A. Pardee settled that Sat
urday by decree which vested oil
title to the lease of the Georgia road
in the Louisville and Nashville rall-
rosd. .--------- ~-o- ..y.n
ever hereafter asserting any claim to
the lease, thus disposing of long
litigation.
Twenty some odd years ago, when
William Wadley leased the Georgia
railroad, he did not dream that the
Louisville and Nashville would ever
get complete control of the road. He
was then president of the Central
Railrord and Banking Company, and
after leasing the Georgia as an indi-
vidual, he made another lease to the
Central and the Louisville and Nash
vile rs joint lessees. Each company
wac to have equal voice in selecting
the officers of the Georgia road.
For years the Georgia was operated
as neutral llue. When the Central
railroad went into receivership it
failed more than once to put up it's
proportion of the deficit in the rental.
The Louisville and Nashville made the
rental good to the stockholders to pre-
vent the lease being annulled.
When the Central's properties and
assets were put up for sale, the old
company half interest in the lease of
the Georg road was bought in by
Messrs. Thomas and Ryan, who were
conducting the reorganization.
About two years ago the Central
Railway Company made claim upon
the Louisville and Nashville for half
interest in the lease of the Georgia.
The claim was denied by the Louisville
and Nashville. Then Messrs. Thomas
and Ryan asserted their claim, de-
claring that they had bought the old
Centra's half interest in the lease.
The matter was carried to the courts
for adjudication.

an interview regarding the suggestion
that the admiral be made q candidate

admiral said, as to his politics:

Admiral Dewey said that neither by
vocation, disposition, education or
training was he capacitated to fill the
presidency. He said that he was too

possibility. His health would not ad-

Bandits On Island of Ncgros Attempted to
Incite an Uprising.
According to Minia dispatch Col
Smith, the governor of the island of
Negros, reports that number of BAN
dts, headed by q man named Papais-
sio, attempted a rebellion on March
9th, and killed several officials of
Jumamayalan.
He also captured other officials and
issued proclamation calling upon the
natives to rise and exterminate the
Americans and Speniards. Major Sine
and two companies of the California
regiment were dispatched by water to
the scene of the Insurance, and Col
Duboce and two other companies of
troops were sent overland.
On April I'd this force marched
twelve miles and ca rtured Labzid, tho
headquarters Of the bandits, and de-
stroyed the town. The troops also
captured thirty-fve prisoners and
scattered Papaissio's forces, thus eff
fectually quelling the rebellion at tho
outset.

w nrship Ordered to NicRrag ua.

A Washington special says: The
cruiser Detroit, which is now lying off
LaGuayra, Venezuela, has been order
ell post haste to Bluctields, Nicaragua,
for tho protection of American inter
ests in that quarter.
On the WY she will touch at Port
Limon, Costa Rica, where her COM
mander will put himself in communi-
cation with the United States consul
at that point and where he also may re-
ceive further Instructions. She is
also likely to make brief stop at
Greytown.
Her dispatch under hurry orders is
at the urgent request of the state de-
partment, to which American residents
both IN Bluefelds and in Costa Rica
have appealed for protection of Amer
lean interests. The arbitrary and ex-
tortionate policy adopted by General
Torres at Blueiields, who on more
than one occasion has made himself
persona non grata to this gov
ernment and whose restoration to
has been followed by the acts
which power Mt this time Amer
lean residents resent and protest
against, is the main cause of the ves-
sells dispatch.
The state department at the same
time has cabled instructions to the
United States diplomatic representa-
tive Mt Bluefields to lodge IN energetic
protest with the Nicaraguan govern
ment against the action of General
Torres and a disregard of this protest
will be followed up by n more positive
step on the part of this government.
In Costa Rica the american business
interests and residents are in trouble
as result of an insurrectionary move
ment. 1t is understood that the in
surgents are leyying forced leans OH
them, besides collecting exorbitant
and double duties on its ports.

LAWTON CAPTURES A CITY.
THE FILIPINOS ARE DRIVEN FROM
ANOTHER STRONGHOLD.
A SHORT BUT DESPERATE FIGHT
Six Americans Wounded But None Kill cd
Filipinos Lost SiNty-EiGht Killed
And Many Wounded.

A special of Monday from Manila
says: After sharp, quick fighting.
forming one Of the most important
battles of the war, General Lawton
has captured Santa Cruz. the Filipino
stronghold on Lake Laguna de Bay,
and tho rebels, who were commanded
by Chinaman named Pao Wah, were
driven into the mountains.
The Americans had six men wound
ed, while the rebels lost sixty. eight
killed and forty men wounded.
Lawton's expedition, consisting of
1900 men, left San Pedro Macati, on
the Pasig river, on Saturday night
with the purpose Of crossing Laguna
de Bay and capturing the town of
Santa Cruz, on the eastern shore of
the lake.
The plans of the American com
manders worked perfectly with the
exception that the progress Of the cx-
pedition was delayed by the difficult
navigation of the Pasig river.
In navigating the shallow stream,
perhaps through the cunning of ma
tive pilots, who were not anxious to
see the Americans succeed, the boats
grounded and it was nearly dawn when
the troops reached the lake.
The expedition then steamed eau:
tiously forward, the Napidau and the
Oeste n mile ahead, the Luguna dc
Bay guarding the rear.
Rebel signal fires, however, were
lighted on the mountain tops, giving
alarm of the approach of the troops.

A WARSH|P TO NICARAGUA,
AMERICANS AT BLUEFIELDS ASK
FOR PROTECTION.
AN INSURRECTI0NARY MOVEMENT.
Arbitrary Actions of General Torres In
LevyinE Double Duties Causes
Vigorous Protest,

A letter to The New Orleans Plea
yune from Blueficlds, Nicaragua,
dated March 21st, snys that Cen
eral Torres, the special agent of
President Zelsya, has again noti-
fed the merchants they would have
but twenty-four hours to pay the
duties again, which had been already
paid to the treasurer of. Nicaragua,
who served after the revolution began.
Torres also undertook to prohibit
tho American consular agent from
cabling to Washington or the presi-
dent of Nicaragua Mt Managua.
He is in charge of telegraph wires
which lead to both the capital and to
San Juan del Sur, the cable station.
The American consul, after discov-
ering thnt it would be impossible to
secure satisfactory information from
Torres, withdrew with the American
merchants, who accompanied him to
the palace.
At this meeting Torres also declined
TO state what steps will be taken to
force the American merchants to sub
nit to double charges.
A vessel was chartered promptly,
and after considerable difficulty a
clearance was secured from Torres
and this vessel sailed for Port Linon,
Costa Rica, with dispatches for the
government.
The consul in these dispatches,
asks that at least two warships be sent
to Bluefelds at once.
The next move Torres made was to
issue decree doubling the duties,

ELEVEN MEN ARRAIGNED.
Alleged Lynchcrs of Negro Postmaster
On Trial Mt Charleston.

Alleged LynchPrs of Negro fosthhht'r
On Trial at Charleston.
Eleven alleged Lake City, 5. c.,
lynchers were placed on trial in the
United States circuit court Mt Charles
ton Monday. The ease against j. p.
Newham and Early p. Lee, the men
wLo turned states evidence, was
dropped by the request of the district
attorney, and this accounts for the fact
that eleven instead Of thirteen men
are now on trial.
At the very outset counsel for the
prisoners sought to enter demurrer
10 the indictment. 1t was claimed
there was a multiplicity Of crimes
charged in the counts and that the
circuit court had no jurisdiction under
the statute. Assistant District Attor-
ney Cochran and General Barber re-
piled for the defense, and the court
overruled the demurrer and the jury
was selected and sworn.
The defense exercised its right to
challenge six times, four OF the men
excluded being negroes. The jury as
it stands is composed of white men OF
means and standing in the several
counties from which they come.

DEFECT IN CONVICT LAW.

Georgia Legislature Overlooked An I'm
portant Provision.
1t now seems certain that in spite of
the care given the formation of Geor-
gia's new convict law by the last leg
islature, serious oversight, that may
produce much inconvenience, has been
detected in it. The evident mistake
in the system has been pointed out by
Comptroller General Wright, who has
submitted the facts to the attorney
general for his opinion.
There is apparently in the new lease
law no provision for the payment of
boards of inspection and chaplains for
the various penitentiary camps, WHICH
have always been required by law.

TENNESSEE JUDGES SKIP OUT.

They VIII Test Action of Assembly In
Ousting Them.
Some strange developments seem to
be following the action Of the Tennes-
see general assembly on the judicial
redistricting bill.
Judge Il. A. r. Nelson, of the Knox
county criminal court, and District
Attorney Fred Mynatt have, it is
stated, left the state in order to avoid
service of notice that their Offices are
to be vacated.
1t is said that number OF other
judges affected by the bill have taken
the same course, and are where the
sergeant-at-arms cannot reach them.
Where this will leave the legislature
is problematical.

THE LEGAL PHASE OF IT.

There was noted in the public press tFe other day decision or the su- preme coaIt of New Jersey which ap- Deared to justify a combination Of pr3- dUcing corporations for the purpose of controlling their joint output and ef- fectins economies that could not be attained through the several concerns acting separately Now the court os appeals of Kentucky has decided that fire insurance underwriters may com bine to fix rates. It ought soon to dawn upon the minds that are inclined to become panicky over trusts. as 1t has occurred to sober and conservative men, thst there $ al important point of law to be settled by the courts be- fore any judicious campaign can be in- auguTated against industrial combira- tons, and that is the right of individ- Uals under the common law and tho fundamental law of the land to have perfect liberty to conduct separate CT joint trade in any legitimate business. This is a right that has never been questioned until the dawn of the trust era. Now the great corporations Of this new era are composed of tnd.vid- raI stockholders, in certain csss5 thousands of them, and hundreds of these are investors of modest means. Keen minded bankers may finance the combinations, but they merely handle the money of investors placed tempo rarily in their hands Wealthy men may manage affairs after comb nation, but only by voluntary selection Of the individuals composing the trust" Will tha courts decree that these thou sands of investors cannot organize and carry on a business of say $50 00G. .090 capital and yet say that they csn com bine n a s100 corporation? The New Jersey and Kentucky decisions appar- ently say not. If there can be no dis eriminaiiou-no limit to the amount men may invest n a business is to stop the so-cslled trust move ment?
 Nothing. apparently, but q demon stration-which many believe will soon come-that the trust movement is overweighted and hazardous from q business point of view, and col lapse of this form of business enter prise for prudential reasons.
