WORK OF GUNBoATS.
Captain Grants Tinclads Terrorize
the INSURGENTS

New York, March IA dispatch to
the Herald from Manila says: On Mon
day your correspondent went aboard
the United States gunboat Laguna de
Bay and accompanied her on the chase
of rebels. She first steamed past the
town of Pasig, and turned her gatling
guns on the insurgents entrenched
along the shore. The insurgents were
so frightened that the women children,
horses, soldiers and carabos field in
hundreds across the open fields toward
Laguna de Bay. The gunboat ceased
firing, but following close behind the
panie-stricken crowd, driving them in
land.
On Tuesday the gunboat Caste Joined
the Laguna de Bay. both under COM
mand of Captain Grant. They made for
the lake channel which had been
blocked by the insurgents, but they fin
ally cleared the way.
On the lake we chased two sailing
vessels. which were full of insurgent
troops. Both vessels refused to sur
render and ran ashore, the troops es-
Gaping in spite of our fire.
During Wednesday, while approach
ing Santa Cruz, the richest city on the
lake, we raised a white flag when 500
yards from the shore. A large force of
insurgents is entrenched in front of
the town, but they refused to confer
with Us. Then we shelled their position
effectively, and withdrew to the end of
the lake to await the landing of our
forces

COIN FOR THE CUBANS.
Transport Reaches Havana With
Three Millions On Board.

Havana, March 11-The United
States transport Meade, having on
board $4,000, 900 for the payment of the
Cuban troops previous to their being
disbanded, according to the agreement
arrived at between Robert P. Porter,
President McKinley's representative,
and General Maxine Gomez, comman-
der-in-chieG of the Cuban army, ar
rived here at 10 o'clock this morning,
escorted by the United States cruiser
Chicago.
Governor General Brooke visited the
palace yesterday. 1t is said that the
repairs to the building win be complet-
ed by the middle of April, when the
governor general will move his head
quarters there.
The Cuban generals have resolved, it
is said, to adopt middle course. 1t is
pointed out that they consider it their
duty to return to their commands, in
order to preserve concord. Their ac-
ton was unexpected, and it is assert
ed by those who are familiar with the
plans of the generals that the latter
will use their influence with the Cuban
troops to rescind the power invested by
the voters in the members of the Cuban
military assembly, thus obtaining the
position of many of the members and
leaving the assembly so weakened as to
make it inefficient. 1t is claimed that
the generals influence with the troops
is SD great that they will have little
difficulty in accomplishing this result.

the government" One portion of it
was resold to a foreign government and

Governor Says United States Sol

RUFFIANs IN UNIFORM
NEGROES WE'RE DEMoRALIZED
BY THEIR PRESENCE.
Governor Gambler Declares There
Was No. Friction Until These
Drunken, Riotous Negro Volun-
teers Were Sent to the State-De-
nounces the Outrage at Palmetto.

Atlanta, Ca, March Ex-Governor
Gambler is very bitter in his denuncia-
ton of the Palmetto affair.
THE Palmetto lynchfng was as de-
ploraible as it was bloody and coward
ly,'' said the governor. 1T is true the
town was burned in the night time, en-
dangering the lives of all its women and
children. 1t is true that / had offered
heavy rewards for the apprehension of
the incendiaries, and that these negroes
had been arrested, and some of them
had confessed their guilt and implicat-
ed the others in the crime. But it was
cowardly and barbarouS to slaughter
them as the mob did, after they had
been arrested and We're in the hands of
the officers of the law, awaiting COM
hitting trial. The law was adequate
for their punishment, and there was no
doubt of their speedy trial and punish
ment, if convicted.
Until recently. there was no race
friction in the state. The Georgia negro
is not naturally vicious nor predisposed
to the commission of atrociouS crimes.
This was demonstrated during the
years of slavery. The Georgia white
man is not his enemy, as he has had
abundant reason to know since he be-
came a free citizen. Such outraGeS as
this never or seldom occurred in this
state until regiments of insolent,
drunken soldiers, the scum Of the dives
Of the cities north and south, were
CHARTERED here and in the state and in
the south.
"a mob of negro soldiers ran riot in
Tampa and outraged women in broad
daylight. Another gang of drunken
vagabonds in Macon def1ed and treid
to fire on the police. For months an
other regiment of these laWless vaga-
bonds wearing the uniform of the Unit
ed States soldier terrorfzed Chickamau-
ga and the town of Lyle, in North
Georgia, to say nothing of the Griffin
episode and other similar occurrences.
They had to be escorted through every
southern city through which they
passed, after they were discharged, by
a battalion of police to prevent their
looting the stores and terrorizing the
people.
THE Leesburg outrage, the Palmetto
burning and many other similar crimes
committed in Georgia by negroes dur
ing the last few months are due to the
baneful influence. and example of these
lawless rowdies, who disgraced the uni
forms they wore. This is the primary
cause of all these troubles. Still, this
does not justify the bloody and bar
barous retaliation of Leesburg and Pal
metto.
THE white men who participated in
these sanguinary dramas are as unjus
tifiable for their conduct as the negroes
they lynched. Both are a disgrace to
our civilization and a reproach to our
state, and all the power of the state
shall be used to prevent recurrence of
such crimes and to punish the perpe-
traitors"

PROMOTIONS DECLINED.
Regular Army Officers Rejected Com
missions as Volunteers.

missions as Volunteers.
Washington, March 1.-THE new
army register will be published in a few
DAYS. Some advance copies have been
received at the war department, where
it has been looked over with consider
able interest This register, while for
the regular army entirely, viii have a
list of the general and staff officers ap-
pointed during the Spanish war, to-
gether with their records during the
war.
An interesting feature of the register
is that the volunteer service of the reg
ular officers is given, and there is a
Jump from 1866 and 1867 to 1898 in that
service, a lapse of more than thirty
years.
Another interesting point is that sew
eral men in the regular army declined
volunteer appointments. At the head
of the list of these is Adjutant General
Corbin. The register shows that on
Aug. 10, 1898, he was appointed major
general Of volunteers and declined.
Major John A Johnston, adjutant gem
erals department, declined a commits
sion of lieutenant colonel. Captain w.
L, Craighill, engineer corps, declined a
majors commission. Major Charles
Shaler. ordnance department, declined
a commission of lieutenant colonel.
Lieutenant Colonel c. L. H. Ruggles,
ordnance corps, declined a majors COM
mission. Lieutenant w. 4. Short,
Tenth cavalry, declined a CAPTAINS
commission as assistant adjutant gem
eral. There are other instances, but
these are found in a hurried eXamina-
ton of the register which is an extern

ANOTHER OPERATION.
Pope Will Again Submit to the Sur
eeon's Knife.

Rome, March 1S.-The second opera
ton which the physicians have decided
to perform upon his holiness will take
place this morning 1t is necessitated
by the fact that the physicians were
unable to sew up the wound after the
first operation.
The pope is recovering his strength
and his physicians feel no anxiety con-
corning the operation, which will not
be a painful one, and one to which the
pope readily consented.
London, March 1S.-The Rome CORES
pendent of the Daily News says: The
pope was present at the delivery of a
Lenten discourse by his special
preacher, many cardinals and prelates
in attendance, but in accordance with
ancient custom, he sat behind a screen,
invisible to all. -
The Rome correspondent of the Times
says: II am able to confirm the report
that the pope's strength has never re-
covered from the shock of the opera
ton. Although there is no reason to
apprehend immediate danger, his con-
tinued weakness is causing grave .anx-
iety at the vatican. Still, it is hoped

ACCUMULATION OF GOLD.
Large Increase In Holdings of Gov
eminent and Banks.

New York, March IA special to the
Herald from Washington says: There
is more gold in the possession of the
treasury and of the banks now than at
any time for many years.
The total gold held by the treasury
three years ago today was $127, COO.
The total today is more than $241, 0O0,-
600. The total gold held by the national
banks on May Z, 1895, was S157,771 500.
These banks held on the date of the
last call, Feb. 4, 1899, 1921, 915, 1855. This
shows an increase of STA, 900 in the
gold held by the treasury and $1640o0,-
600 in that held by the national banks.
1t IS assumed that the amount of gold
held by private banks has increased in
the same proportion, though no accur-
ate statistics can be obtained. There is
also considerable gold in general circu-
lation, as the government for some
time has been paying out gold very
freely, so as to relieve as far as pos
sible the demand for paper currency.

THEY MUST ALL WEAR WHITE.
The Lord Chamberlain's Edict Re-
ceived With Laughter.


London-The Queens drawing rooms,
which began on March l. mark the be-
ginning of the really active period OF
the fashionable season. London is now
what the society papers describe as
full" and there is no symptom, except
the prevalence of somber nues in ladies'
dresses. that court mourning for Prince
Alfred of Coburg operates to any extent
in REFRESHING the gayeties of fashion
able life.
The lord chamberlain's edict as to
drawing room dresses announced that
brides and young unmarried ladies
may appear all in white" 1t caused
some perturbation in society, where all
the minutae of dress for the drawing
rooms are studied with an intensity OF
devotion to details beyond the concep-
ton of the outside world. Young I'M
married ladies' was discussed as a
phrase which ought not to be permit
ted to the lord chamberlain. There
might be no difficulty as to brides and
as to unmarried ladies-but who is to
say when an unmarried lady is young
and when she is not?
There are few debutantes who do not
answer to the description of young Ia
dies. But there are occasional presen-
tees who are neither young nor mar
ried, and who would object to being
obliged to indicate an age limit by any
style of dress. Another phrase in the
regulations of the Lord Chamberlain
which excited curiosity was the permits
sion to wear BLACK flowers. What
flowers are black?"
One of the most interesting is Miss
Astor, daughter of Mr.. William Wal
dorf Aston Unlike most dehutantes,
Miss Astor has already become known
and admired in society by having acted
as hostess at her fathers parties ever
since he began to entertain after the
death of his wife. She was then little
more than a child, but the grace and
tact with which she presided at table
and did the honors of the house
charmed and delighted the guests. To
this early introduction to social duties
may be attributed a graceful staidpess
of manner which is rarely found IN
girls of her age. Her appearance at
the drawing room is looked forward to
with great curiosity.
In line with Miss Astor as a DEBUT
tante is Lady Annabel Crewe, Lord
Crewe's eldest daughter. motherless,
also. and further like Miss Astor in
having some experience in society.
When her father was lord lieutenant
of Ireland, and Lady Annabel just en-
tering on her teens, she often ac-
companied him to state functions and
took part in the opening OF bazdrS and
other ceremonies.
The rumor that the queen will be
present at one of the early drawing
rooms is improbable, as she has made
mo arrangements to visit Buckingham
palace before May, when she will re-
ceive the corps diplomatique and the
favored few who enjoy the privilege OF
entree.
