government has set at rest effectually
the rumors Of purpose on it's part, d.
rectly or indirectly, to embarrass tho
United States in the Philippine islands
and has given . signal manifestation Of
its desire to promote the most cordial
relations between Germany and the
United States by ordering the with
drawal Of Ill vessels Of its navy from
the Philippine islands and placing the
lives and property Of its subjects there
under the protection Of the United
States.
The action taken Is regarded as . mas
TOR stroke in diplomacy by which will
be removed al probability Of clash
with German interests In and about
Manila, and notice to the world, espe-
cially any Americans who entertained
any suspicion Of sinister designs on the
part of Germany, of the intention Of the
German empire to promote friendship.
BY it's withdrawal Germany places its
affairs in tho Philippines
Almost Completely In Our Hands.
The news Of the withdrawal of Ger.
many came at the close Of . day that
had been full Of sensational rumors of q
clash between Germans and Americans
in Manila, tho rumors even going to the
extent of saying that Admiral Dewey
had fred on and sunk . German vessel
In Manila bay. These rumors spread
despite the fact that the cable connect
ing Manila with the outer world is in
control of the United States govern
ment and that 1t might be reasonably
expected that 1t would be the govern
ment that would receive the first news
Of any disaster or collision ct Manila,
and at the White House, war depart
ment and navy department positive de-
malls Of the rumors were made. Finally,
at the close Of the day and after the Of
fioial close of the departments, an
nouncement was made Of the reason for
the great confidence the officials had in
the falsity of the rumors, the statement
being authorized that by one bold stroke
Germany had removed ell possibility Of
Any Clash Bstwssn Hothsads
at Manila. It was announced that the
German government had ordered theif
ships away from Manila, probably to
their new naval station at Kiao Chau,
on the Chinese coast. The German gov.
ernment followed its announcement to
the state department Of purpose to
order it's vessels away from the Philip
pines with formal application to the
United States government to undertake
the protection Of all the Germans in the
Philippines, not only In person, but in
property. This was regarded - . sig.
nal manifestation of confidence and az
practically formal notice that the Ger.
mans have no ulterior purpose in the
Philippines and rather than be sub.
jected to suspicion on that score has
taken the course Of turning over the
care and welfare of their citizens to the
American government. The admins
tration promptly accepted the trust and
there will be no German ships ct eithel
Manila or noilo to disturb the relations
Of the two countries or form the basis o1
Sensational and false rumors.

NO MONEY ron PAVING.
Treasury Department Unable TO
stand Asphalt Around POstomce.

The treasury department does not seem
disposed to pay for asphalt paving around
the new postofIice. Some time since Chair
man Dixon of the Street and Lane Com
mittee took up this matter with Postmaster
Doyle and requested him to lay a proPo-
sition before the department for the pur-
pose of completing the paving around the
new building.
Alderman Dixon received a letter yes
terday from Postmaster Doyle stating
that he had brought the matter to the
attention Of the treasury department and
that he regretted to state that the reply
had not been as favorable as ne had hoped
X might be. Mr.. Doyle quoted from the
departments reply as follows: you viii
please advise Mr.. Dixon that while the
desirability of this Improvement is fully
appreciated, as the department has no ap-
preparation under its control which would
be made available for the necessary ex-
penditure it is not possible 10 give favor
able consideration to the project"
This is quite a disappointment to Chair
man Dixon as he had hoped to have the
new building of the government entirely
encircled with asphalt paving at an early
date. The estimate by City Engineer
Winn of the cost of placing asphalt paw
ing on President, York and Whitaker
streets around the new building is S4,7S3.R.
As the city has already provided an as
phalt pavement for the Bull street front
Of the building at an expense Of 81, $780, Al
derman Dixon thought it only fair that
the bulk of the expense for providing the
additional paving needed should be borne
by the government, and his suggestion to
Postmaster Doyle was that the govern,
ment should pay 50 900 of the cost. leav>
ing the city to pay S1.793.3. AS the city
mas alFeadV bee mt a of 81 500
for the Bull street pavement and as the
new pavement would be largely for the
benefit of the postohice Mr.. Dixon regard
ed his proposition as an eminently fair one.

side the city. a Central engine was in
waiting, and the car was brought into the
Central yard of West Broad street, arriy-
ing there about 10 o'clock.
The police ambulance was in waiting
there, as Mt. Corners physicians thought

a carriage. Mr. Conner was assisted TO the
ambulance by DR.. Charlton and other
members of the party and at once taken
TO his home, at Bull and Taylor streets
Miss Little, a trained nurse also accom-
panied the party from New York.

Morning News reporter, stated that his
brother had stood the trip down remark
ably well, and was brighter and in bet
ter spirits than for several days past The
attack of pleursy, from which Mr.. Conner
suffered in New York recently, was quite
severe and weakened him greatly, but this
complication seems now to be on the
wane.
DIT. Charlton stated that Mr.. Conner was
brighter and more cheerful and apparently
in better condition than at any time since

The officers and men OF the Savannah
commands who went to Darien upon the
order Of the Governor to quell the negro

Col. A. r. Lawton submitted the reports
upon which the pay roll should be made
out some weeks ago while in Atlanta. He
then went on to New York and expected
60 learn on his return that the troops had
received the amounts due. 1t was his I'M
