far more satisfactory to n very large pro-
portion Of the people Of the United States.
were honorable terins arranged with the
Fllipinos. and this war. which can cer-
talnly bring no glory to tho American ma
ton, brought TO a satisfactory close.
AS we have frequently pointed out, the
whole blame for the present situation In
the Philippines ls attributable to the total
lack OF policy displayed by the Americans
from the first. They did not know their
own minds ana allowed the Filipinos 10
see this plainly. What wonder then that
the Filipinos should mistrust them now?
First Aguinaldo was to be treated as
the trusted ally OF the Americans, and he
Was so treated. Then arrived the Amer
lean troops and the Filipnos were ignored.
Next the Fllipinos were not offered any
opportunity Of expr0 sing their Views
on the future OF their country prior to the
ratification OF the peace treaty with Spain.
and of all that followed we are only too
well aware.
The Americans have all along made the
mistake OF looking upon the Filipinos as
sayages and treating them as such, and
now IL Is too late TO mend matters.
AT the commencement OF the Spanish
and respect OF the Filiplnos, and very
small modicum Of consideration and d.
plomacy would have enabled them to have
retained those friendly feeling and to have
been today In peaceful occupation OF the
country
II must not be thought that we are an
tagonistic TO the American cause; such
Is not the case; but we must say. and say
plainly, that we are sorry to see that in
stead of the Filipinos being introduced to
the benefits OF peace and Just and CIV
ilzed form Of government. they are now
likely to be cursed by war OF extermina-
ton, and all on account of the bungling
and mlsmanagement Of certain officials Of
the United States.
Had matters but been left In the hands
of Admiral Dewey we do not for mo-
ment believe that things would have come
TO such pass His upright sailors ma
ture would have guided him Alright But
when matters are dealt with by consuls
and diplomatists who are far from the
scene Of action and have no knowledge OF
the country or people to be dealt with,

STONE DAMAGING ASPHALT.
When Passed Over by Heavy Wa
gOns IL Cuts Into the Paving.

The crushed rock scattered. over the
streets Is playing havoc with the asphalt
paving. The rock is being carelessly drop
ped by the companies now operating on
the streets, and when passed over by heavy
wagons, the asphalt is lndented in many
places. In some Instances holes are cut in
the paving.
Director Gadsden has notified the con-
tractors that more care must be exercised
in hauling macadan, but with the large
amount OF work now in progress, he says
it is next thing to impossible to keep the
paving clear of II unless a sweeper is con-
stantly on the so. The beds of some wa
gons hauling macadam are not secure, and
allow the stone TO drop out The effort that
has been made TO remedy this is expected
to result In some care.
The city authorities fong ago recognized
the necessity of protecting asphalt from
oil drippings from tank wagons, and an
ordinance was accordingly passed provid-
ing for drip pans. There has since been no
complaint on this account. 1t seems the
macadam is even more damaging to the
paving than OIL and Director Gadsden's
rule requiring more care will be enforced.
The director says he has noticed a degree
of carelessness in teamsters to which con-
tractors should at once cali attention.

MOSAIC FLOORS AND MAHOGANY.
WOrkmen Pushing This Part of New
Public Building Along.

The carpenters in the government bulld-
ing are now at work on the fine mahogany
finishing, which is being put in the upper
corridors, and also in the court rooms Ii is
stated the work is The prettiest the govern
ment has yet put in any public building.
The carving is rich and costly, and the
mahogany 10 the finest to be found in the
forests of Santiago and Mexico.
Mr.. e. Spalding of St. Louis, foreman
of the carpenters in the employ of the An
derson Construction Company, intends to
see that the work is executed as well as
skilled workmen can do it. Nearly all the
wood material has arrived and the con-
tractors look for no further delay on this
account.
Another attractive feature of the work
now in progress is the Mosaic flooring to
be placed in the corridors of the first floor.
American eagles will be worked in the
floor. the colored Italian marble repre-
sentlng the eagles being beautifully con-
trasted by Georgia white marble. The
flooring will probably be completed within
the next ten days.

SUING THE PENALTY.
Thes Dixon and Central Railway
Fight in Court Again.

The Dixon and Central Railway
Fight in Court Again.
A suit was filed in the City Court yester-
day by saussy & saussy for C. II. Dixon
& Co. against the Central of Georgia Rail-
way Company, on penalty.
The suit brings up Ia another form the
old demurrage matter arising out of the
refusal of the Central Railway to deliver
cars OF coal from Dixon's wharf TO the
water works at price agreed upon In d
Central Railway against Dixon 10 enforce
a lien for freight charges is now pending
on an appeal to the Supreme Court, the
decision in the Superior Court having been
in favor of the railway company.
The suit last filed is for the purpose OF
collecting penalty from the Central Rail-
way Company of 81 per car for four cars
delivered to tho railway on the wharf last
June for each days delay IN delivery, the
cars not having YET been delivered. The
penalty will amount to considerable sum
by rle time the case is settled, as the Cen
trail has been holding the cars for freight
charges. ns.traF
The suit is brought under rule II OF the
demurrage rules OF the Georgia Railroad
Commission. which provides for a demur-
rage charge Of 81 per car per day against
the shipper for unnecessarily delaying cars
after delivery and for the same penalty
against the railway company for failure
to ship cars. the penalty beginning twenty
four hours after delivery OF cars.

UNDERWRITERS IN SAVANNAH.
state Association Meets Next Tues
day for a Two Bays Session.


The Georgia Local Underwriters Asso-
citation will hold its second annual meet
! ing in Savannah beginning next Tuesday,
and will continue two days. II is expect
ed there viii be about one hundred dele
gates from different cities in the state,
| nearly every one of which viii probably
be represented. The associations object
is the mutual protection of it's members
from overhead writing. more than the con-
sideration OF purely local matters.
The delegates will begin to arrive Tues
day morning. and win proceed to the Pu-
laski House. which viii be convention
headquarters. Mr. Charles +. Graham Is
arranging to give the visitors perfect at
tontion at the Pulaski. the parlors Of which
viii be used for the meetings.
The local committee on entertainment Is
Mr. r. NJ. Hun, chairman; Messrs. w. l..
Wilson. w. T. Hopkins. W. +. Grady,
Joseph E. Harty, John D. Carswell. a. c..
Harmon and A. G. Guerard Jr. This com
mittee will receive the delegates al the
hotel from $3.50 TO 1870 o'clock at which
time the convention will be formally open
ed. AT the invitation of Mr.. Hun, Mr. S.
B. Adams will deliver the welcome ad-
dress, and will express to the visitors the
hospitality they may expect at the hands
of Savannah people. Chairman Hull said
that steps were being taken to properly
entertain the visitors while in the city.
The first day they vell he treated to a troll
ley ride over the city, and IN the after
noon viii be entertained and given supper
a the Yacht Club
The convention will be held the second
day at Hotel Tybee, the delegates leaving
for the island on an early train. and will
remain during the day. They will be given
a fine dinner on the island
The association was organized in Macon
last year. and ats first meeting was held
there. It's object is an exchange of ideas
pertaining to the work of underwriters,
such as will enable them 70 adopt better
methods in their business. The meeting
in Savannah is a compliment to the city
and has no local bearing whatever. It
goes without saying that the hustlers will
be royalty received. not only by their fell
low agents here, but by the people at
large.
