RACES FOR MEMORIAL DAY.
Savannah Track Club Arranging
Series of Live Events.

The Savannah Track Club is arranging
for bicycle races at Wheelman's Park for
Memorial day. Those who have the affalr
IN hand are confident that a good live
string of five or six events can be pulled
off. and they say they are going to END
every energy to the work of getting up
the races. They have already received as
surances of many entries, both OF local
riders and cracks from a distance, ana
they insist there is no reason why the DAY
should not see as successful races as any
ever held in Savannah.
Frank Powers and Durham CoXetter are
Jacksonyilles cracks, who have promised
10 come up and have a try at the SaVan-
,oob amateurs or those who may be brought
from other places. The managers OF the
ENTERPRISE are in correspondence with Ma
con and Charleston riders, and expect 10
have a bunch of Foreigners on the track.
The nrizes will be handsome, and of
costIiness to attract riders. c. p. Con-
merry and several others of the best local
ax-ers NAV be counted upon for the races.
Thev will be pulled off in heats, so that
there will be no waits between events. Ii
is the purpose of those at its mead 10 man
age the affair as the Manhattan track is
managed, and those who go out TO see the
races will be ready 10 olIer lHdhhS II sOiilS
thing iam-up in good, live work is TO be
seen.
The parties chiefly interested are CORE
snonding with some of the crack profess
sionals TO get them down for season of
training before the Northern races com
mence. II is thought they will be sue
cessful in this There is one man here
from Cold Springs, N. Y, to train who
is one of the fastest amateurs in the coun-
try He may carry off one or two OF the
prizes at the coming races.
The track will be open for practice to-
dav and riders are invited to use it. To-
morrow work will commence on the park,
and the fences and grandstand will be put
in condition Additional conveniences will
be put in for riders, shower bath being
among the improvements intended

REFUSED THEIR WAGES.
Three Sailors on Fitzpatrick Forced
to Leave without Their Money.

Three sailors of the transport Kilpatrick
called at the Office of United States Com
missioner Lewis yesterday and told NOV
ing story of mans inhumanity to man.
The names of the men are Ernest Frank.
Gus Olsen and Martin Erikson, and their.
complaint is made against the second mate
of the transport.
The men say that while the transport
was in port there was no galley in opera
ton on board, and they were compelled
to take their meas in the city AS a COM
mutation for this purpose, they were al
lowed the princely sum of fifteen cents
per day. Rations sufficient TO satisfy the
cravings of a healthy sailors appetite
were difficult to obtain at this figure and
in consequence the men found it necessary.
to walk from place to place before they
could find an eating house at which their
stipend could be blown in to the best ad-
vantage.
Yesterday they reported on board the
transport, one of them five minutes and
the two others an hour late, and asked
to be put TO work. The boatswain told
them they would not be allowed to turn
to unless the second mate said so. To
this officer the men related their ta<e,
gave the reasons for their hardness and
asked 10 De assigned TO Uuty. Inc reply
the mate gave this request consisted In an
abrupt refusal and profaue injunction
to leave the ship for a warmer cline.
Their request for their wages was refus-
ed with the same decided emphasis, and
they were again admonished to rid the
ship of their presence. They did so with
out further delay.
The Fitzpatrick sailed for Havana during
the day, leaving behind her here three
very disconsoate sailors. The wages due
each of the men amounts to about $l5,
and they have no other resources. They
are without money to provide themselves
with food or lodging, and are altogether
destitute, as a direct result of the treat
ment they have received from the officers
of the Fitzpatrick. They are without work,
and as they are sailors, with no knowl
edge of a landsman's occupations, they
are not likely to get it. When the trans
port returns to Savannah the commits
soner will hear the case against the ship
and her officers. Until then the men will
be compelled to possess their souls in pa
tience or perform some other equally hun
ger-satisfying feat.
The Ill treatment of sailors on the army
transports that have Piled between this
port and Havana has been in some cases
most outrageous, and the present instance
is only one of many. The matter will be
brought 20 the attention of the war de-
partment in such manner that it is hoped
an investigation of the abuses and their
prompt redress will follow.

WANTS RECORD OF REALTY.
Alderman Williams Desires 10 Know
what the City Owns.

Alderman Williams intends at an early
day TO see that full list of city property
Is made up, and particularly the real prop
erty. The various committees have not
yet posted themselves as to the amount
of realty the city owns, and II is desired
to get a correct list as soon as possible.
Alderman Williams thinks the city has
property on hand which Is not bringing
in much revenue, and which could be
sold at profit. The cash would be worth
more than the property, unless IL is bring
ing more than some of the citys property
is at present
The old dispensary building at State and
Whitaker streets is one which may. be
put under the hammer. The city has no
great need for the building, and could use
the money 10 good advantage just now
For a long time the DeKalb Lodge Of
odd Fellows has been endeavoring to get
a price put on the property. The lodge
would like TO add the building to Metro
politan Hall, and then run them up a few
stories. Capt John Riley represented the
lodge In an effort TO bring about a trade
of this kind during his lifetime.

DR.. j. c. lie Hardy has pust received a
copy of a translation from Eel Mumbe,
a paper published at Baracoa, Cuba, which
highly commends Lieut.. Col. T. S. Wylly,
and which includes petition from citizens
asking Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood to APP
point Col. Wylly as permanent comman-
der at Baracoa. The tenor of the petition
clearly indicates that he is held in the
highest regard by those with whom he
has been serving.
AS a supplement 10 d petition sent Gen
Wood, Mayor Galano of Baracoa adds has
Endorsement to the request that Col. WILLY
be given permanent appointment From
the time the first American flag was hoist

ed and completed many important i'm
provements that contributed to the pro-
gress of this city. He has relieved the
wants and sufferings of the people, who
had suffered greatly in consequence of the
war. He divided equally among them what
had been sent by charitable persons from
the United States. Baracoa and its peo-
pie are the greatest sufferers by the war
because of the destruction of it's rich
farms The upbuilding of the province will
require a good governor and the one who
will devote himself to the difficult task
of reconstruction that confronts the PROV
ince We all know that Col. Wylly has
plans for completing new works that will
beautify and add to the general prosperi-
ty of this place"
There is a petition from the City Coun-
Gil which appeals strongly to Gen Wood
