SOME WILL BE PAID OFF HERE.
Third Georgia and ArtiIIerymen
VIII Get Their Money.


Gen. Douglass and staff and some of
the hospital corps may sail tonight on
the Panama for Havana. The Panama
arrived yesterday and the work of coaling
and loading her was begun Immediately
after the other vessels had left port The
vessel viii probably be in readiness to sail
tonight, and it is the expectation that
she will then get off. There appear to
be some matters which Gen. Douglass yet
has to attend to which may delay him un-
tH tomorrow. At headquarters last
night it could not be stated definitely as
to the time Of sailing on this account.
Gen. Douglass viii be succeeded in the
command of the troops here by Col. Rob-
ert L. Berner of the Third Georgia Regi-
ment. Col Berner will have under his
charge his own regiment, the remaining
six batteries of the Second Regiment Ar
tulery the battalion of the Maine artillery
and the troops at Tybee. 1t will be but
a few days though before there will be
none left except the Third Georgia, The
artillery are to be moved next according
to advices received by Col. Bellinger yes
terday Some of them are expected to
leave this week. After they are out of
the way it viii be the Third Georgia's turn
10 so, in all probability. And doubts as
to the governments intentions in regard
TO the regiment going TO Cuba were re-
moved yesterday when Col. Bellinger re-
ceived dispatch from Washington in
forming him that after the Seventh Corps
was out of the way he should arrange 10
move Cen Wilson's headquarters and the
two Massachusetts and Kentucky regi-
ments TO Matanzas, and the remainder of
the Eighth Cavalry and the Third Geor-
gia 10 Nuevitas. From the reading of
the dispatch it appears that the Third
Georgia stays until the others are all
gone As this means the shipment of
nearly 5000 men before their turn comes
the Georgians win hardly get away from
Savannah for another ten days. 1t will
he a relief to them. though. to know posi-
lively that they are to go at an early
date.
II is reported that Paymaster Bulls mas
instructions to pay off the six batteries of
tho Second Regiment and the Maine Ar
tillerymen, probably over 1500 men in all.
II will take over $4,000 to settle with them.
1t is probable that he win also be directed
10 pay off the Third Georgia, which would
take close on to another $4,000. The out
look is that there will be in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000 turned loose here within
the next few days in this way.

1t seemed to be the intention OF the board
TO make the necessary appropriation 10 re-
tain the park. but there was some doubt
as to the advisabfiy Of using it in drib-
let's. Those of the commission who talked
were in favor Of having the money paid
as a whole by which the park could then
be improved an a way that would add TO
its value and beauty
a resolution was offered by Alderman
Krouskoff, and adopted providing that
$1,000 per annum for five years be appro-
priated for the improvement of Estln
Park. the amount 40 be held until 5000
has been accumulated. In addition to this,
Alderman Charlton offered an amendment
providing that $500 be appropriated to
cover the deficit in the appropriation for
Estill Park for 1898.
Col. Mercer made a forcible and convinc-
Ing talk TO Council, in which ne recited
the advantages of a suburban resort, and
of the remarkable opportunity the city
had of acquiring one at a low figure. IL
was largely due to the argument Col Mer-
Ger made that the Council took the action
il did Being deeply earnest in what he
said, and voicing the opinions Of the others
of the commission, as well as a majority
of citizens, the Councils action did not
come as a surprise.
The contract under which the county
gave the city the property" said Col.
Mercer provides that the payments be
made at the end of every year. For this
reason there will have to be a slight
change in it. but we will appeal to the
County Commissioner. and are confident
there will not be any difficulty in get
ting this little difference properly adjusted
with this appropriation for Estil
park" he continued, there. is no question
that 1t can be made a lovely place. The
improvements can now be sufficiently ex-
tensive to show what has been done, and
the commission, or whoever spends the
money, will feel that something is being
accomplished"
The fact that the city has now provided
for the retention of the property viii be
a source of satisfaction to many, especial
" those who feel an interest in Savannah's
future Those who appreciate the recent
rapid growth Of the city in the southern
section believe that It will not be long be
fore this valuable property will be near
enough to take the place of the older
and enjoyment for years.

The Right Remedy Will
Danish it Forever.

If you would forever be rid of
the aches and pains, and some
times the tortures produced by
Rheumatism, you must take the
right remedy. Those who con-
tinue to suffer are relying upon
remedies which do not reach their
trouble. The doctors treatment
always consists of potash and
mercury, which only intensity the
disease, causing the joints to stiff
en- and the bones to ache, besides
seriously impairing the digestive
organs.
Rheumatism is a disordered state Of
the blood, and the only cure for it is a
real blood remedy. Swift's Specific Is.
S. S.. goes down to the very bottom of
all diseases of the blood, and promptly
cures cases that other remedies can not
reach.

interest that abound throughout the play

erals OF the Army.
Washington, March 4.-The news Of
confirmation by the senate Of George
Dewey as admiral of the navy and Of
Elwell 8. Otis as major general by bre.
vet In the regular army was promptly
cabled to those two officials at Manila
yesterday, with the congratulations Of
the president and Secretaries Long and
Alger.
The special act making Dewey ad.
mfral OF the navy increases his emolu.
ments from $1,000 to $4,000 per, an
mum. 1t is said that he will outrank any
officer in the United States army, the
fact being that the rear admirals, of
whom there will be 10, will rank with
the major generals, who are the highest
officers at present in the army. While
this fact would carry with it the out
ranking of General Otis by Dewey, it
is not likely to interfere in the least
with the status at Manila. General Otis
duties as military governor having been
specially prescribed by the president.
As the naval nominations were sent
in yesterday they were based on the
standing Of the officers in the old regis
ter and no account was taken of the
effect Of action or non-action on the part
of the senate on the many naval nomi-
nations then pending before that body.
Thus in the list of rear admirals sub
mitted, IL in number, Schley stands two
numbers in advance of Sampson. This
is precisely his relative position on the
existing register though had the sen.
ate confirmed the nominations of the
two officers to be rear admirals as they
were specially submitted by the presi-
dent Sampson would stand two numbers
ahead of Schley. The recommendation
of the president, however, was not fol-
lowed and both are rear admirals, with
Schley two numbers in advance.
