MAKING WAR ON THE BELL.
The Cumberland Telephone Company |

The Cumberland Telephone Company is
at Its Old Tricks Again.
At meeting of the Commercial
Club of Mt. Pleasant on Wednesday
night of last week the follow
ing resolution was unanimously
adopted:
"ReSOLUed, That it be the sense of
this Club that every citizen of Mt.
Pleasant ought to remove the Bell Tele-
phone from his home, Office or store,
and that this Club pledges itself to use
every effort to have the Citizens Tele-
phone used in preference to the Bell
wherever possible"
On motion committee, consisting
E. L. Gregory, J. M. Hunter and
CRANBERRY Jackson, was appointed to
make an effort to get Citizens
Telephone placed in the n. F. & s..
depot, and TO secure an uptown
telegraph Office.
Commenting on the telephone sit.
uation in Mt. Pleasant, the ChrOni-
Gle says:
1.-THE Chronicle has no fight to
make against the Cumberland Tele-
phone Company, but the prepostrous
proposition to raise the rates of rent
from 81 so to 50 80 per month, besides
charging message Tee every time a
subscriber talks out of town, is more
than this establishment can stand,
so long as the Citizens Telephone
Company proposes to make a much
lower rate. The Bell Telephone will
find that it's attempt to raise the
rates will prove most disastrous to
it's business in this town, for already
we have heard of at least two dozen
who have already notified the COM
pany to remove their phones on the
first of September, when the pro
posed raise is to go into effect; and
no doubt by that date it will have
notification from at least two thirds
of the subscribers here. The Citi.
zens' Telephone Company is strictly
a home enterprise, and we have al
ways claimed that it is the duty OF
every loyal citizen to patronize
home industries, therefore, every
man that uses a telephone should
have a Citizens placed in his home
or place of business. We request al
of our subscribers and friends to cal
us up after September lst on the
Citizens number 10, for after thai
date number 81 Bell don't go any
more. See?"

IRRITATED AGAINST HAVANA
santiagoans Object to Trans

Gen. Wood Leaves.
fBy Gable to The Associated Press. !


.-SATIAGO DE CUBA, Jan. s. 1S9S.-The
explanation of the War Department at
Washington of its intentions regarding
the transfer of customs receipts from the
different ports in Cuba to Havana is met
here by statements from the Cubans that
the plan Is similar to the one adopted
by the Spaniards when acquisitions on
Havana obtained less than six per cent
OF what the reauisition called for.
The merchants business men and in
huential people here say Havana has
grown rich and prosperous at the expense
of the balance of the island, and the
Cubans and governmental OFFICIALS at
Santiago say the Cubans of Havana are
responsible for Major General Brookes
order on 4&s subject. The people here
add that the Havana Cubans are still
anxious to sustain the same system of
the centra lization of funds which was in
force before the American occupation.

proved true in this crisis and have urged
the citizens to remain q peace9ql y sails

doubtful whether any overt act will be
committed immediately, unless the popu-
lace is aroused by further irritating or
