WHAT THE GOVERNORS SAID.
Warm Correspondence Between North
and South Carolina and Georgia.


Governor Gambler. Of Georgia, is now in
partments of two states regarding affairs
that are proving of interest both here and
in the affected commemorative.
The first correspondence is with Gov
ernor Aycock, of North Carolina, who
has asked for extradition papers for
Sheriff Lovingood and Deputy Sheriff
Finley. of Fannin county. SO far extra
dition papers have been refused and un-
less the governor of North Carolina
shows Governor Gambler that the two
officers are guilty they win be allowed to
continue their duties In Fannin county.
Not many weeks ago, it appears, Bert
Henry. of Fannin county, was indicted
by the grand jury. Learning that the
officers of the law were after him he es-
capped across the border of Tennessee.
Extradition papers were secured from
Governor McMillin, Of Tennessee, but
when that state was entered the prey had
again escaped, fleeing this time TO Muir
ply N. G.
Going to Murphy the Georgia officers
found Henry and at tbeir request he was
taken into custody. ire intention being
to return to Georgia and secure extradi-
ton papers. Henry it,fs said, announced
that ne was willing tooreturn to Georgia
without extradition and was brought
back to Fannin county by the officers.
He gave bond and returned Immediate
ly TO Murphy, where he swore out war
rants for the arrest of Sheriff Lovin-
good and Deputy Sheriff Finley, charging
them with kidnapping.
Governor Aycock. of North Carolina,
has made demand upon Governor Cand-
Ter. of Georgia. for extradition papers
and the correspondence is now in pro-
gress, the governor of Georgia declaring
that he will not surrender his officers
until he is convinced of their guilt.
The other correspondence relates to
Concha Balaguer, who is said to be In
sane and who has been sent by the au7
thorities of Georgia and South Carolina
to that state and this for several times.
Several days ago there came from the
executive office of Governor McSweeney.
of South Carolina, a letter to the gov
ernor of Georgia, in which the South Car
Gilman stated that he saw no reason why
an insane woman that belonged to Geor-
gia should be sent to South Carolina.
The letter stateu that South Carolina con-
sidered this an infringement upon her
hospitality, but that South Carolina could
doubtless take care of Cocha Balaguer,
as that state was already caring for, a
number of Georgia's insane.
Governor Gambler replied, referring to
the communication from South Carolina
as a remarkable letter" and stating that
he presumed that 1t was sent without the
knowledge of Governor McSweeney.
Yesterday a reply was received from
Governor McSweeney, in which he stated
that the letter had been written by his
order He did not consider It a remark
able letter." Governor insolvency stated
that he had instructed the superintendent
of the insane asylum at Columbia to pre-
pare a list of the Georgia inmates for the
benefit of the governor of Georgia.
Governor Gambler will not reply until
he has received this list.

Arabel was sent to police headquarters
where the G1atron took her in charge and
attempted to console her for the loss OF
her mother.
The little one was naturally very much
frightened at her surroundings and told

trip. She knew the name of her mother
and also that she came from Mariana.

TARGET FOR LIVE RATS.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2S-According to the
story told here by a Venezuelan who
reached New York few days ago, Gen
eral Jose Manuel Hernandez, the head of
the conservative party in Venezuela, and
who is a political prisoner, is undergoing
treatment even worse than that of Drey-
fus in Devils Island. His political and
military strength was recently shown,
says The Tribune, in the organization Of
a revolutionary movement on the frontier
under the leadership of General Rangel
Garbiras. This uprising, which President
Castro called a Colombian invasion"
was In reality Hernandez movement, 1t
Is said.
Immediately following this" said one
of Hernandezs former fellow-prisoners
now here, began the systematic attacks
on General Hernandez, which his friends
fear viii end the veterans career. The
first move was to transfer him to the
darkest dungeon in the foul smelling old
fort. A huge ball was fastened to his
ankle. He is held in COMMUNICATIVE is,
no one is allowed to see him. nor is he
permitted to communicate with the out
side world. He is even denied the usual
exercise about the prison yards. His
keepers take fiendish delight in throwing
large live rats, spiders and other vermin
into his dungeon, particularly when he
sleeps. The rations allowed General Her
nandez are only half those required by a
man Of his physique"
Nicholas Hernandez, who lives in New
York, is a son of General Hernandez. He
says that this statement of the situation
is confirmed by reports reaching him from
other sources. General Hernandez visited
New York a few years ago.

MAY HAVE TO BORROW.
British Government May BE Compelled
to Again Seek Loan Of Funds.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2s.-In financial cir
cles the opinion Is growing that there
will have to be further borrowing by the
British government as the result of the
continued fighting in South Africa, says
the London correspondent of The Tribune.
The only relief to the drain upon the re-
sources of the nation is the money which
is expected to be realized by the sale of
farms belonging to those irreconcilable
Beers who have left their wives and chill
dren to the care of Lord Kitchener. This
relief can only be very trifling however,
and 1t is hardly likely to have any APP
probable effect.
Commencing on the military situation
the correspondent says:
The newspapers are clamoring for ener-
getic prosecution of the struggle and are
pleased to be able to print Lord Kitchen
er's announcement of the capture OF
Koch's commando and the Carolina COM
mando.
These British successes are regarded as
some compensation for the reverses re-
ported last week General Louis Botha has
now lost a large number of his cattle, and
he may find It necessary to alter consider
ably his plans. Kretzinger endeavored to
initiate the example set him by SHUTS
OF cutting his way through the British
lines; he failed, but Lovat's scouts suf-
fered severely In keeping him south OF
the orange river. Inc apparently mex
haustible supply of ammunition which the
Beers have at their command is the sub
ject of considerable talk among stock ex-
change men. Doubtless the stores import
ed before the war have not yet been en-
tirely used up. or captured, but private
advices point to possible leakage at
Capetown and other points.
A serious state of things prevails in
Cape Colony from the Orange river to the
sea. 1t is in a condition of open or incip-
lent rebellion. A letter from an Express
correspondent at Capetown tells of pillag-
ing commanders wandering free from Sc
rious interference, of farms deserted by
their rebel prospectors, of armored trains
that have been forced to patrol the lines
as far south as Paarlor Worcester and of
the strengthening of the defenses at Cape
town itself For the first time 1t is now
ceeded in capturing the Loyal delegates on
their return to their homes in Oudisckron,
welcoming the duke of Cornwall at Cape
town. Lord Kitchener's message clears
up the mystery as to the location of the
waterworks mentioned in recent dis
patches. reporting the capture of two guns
by the Beers. 1t was generally understood
that IT was the Pretoria waterworks re-
ferred to, but It is now clear that 1t was
the Bloomfontein waterworks from which
the captured guns and escort started.
1t is a singular confidence that the bat
terry which lost a gun near the water
works in the fight of March 81, 1900, should
lose two more within Is miles of that place
is months later.

KILLED MAN FOR 40 CENTS.
After Losing, Negro Demands Money
Back and When Refused, Shoots.

PENSACOLA, Fla, Sept. 23.-Eugene
Stokes, colored, was committed to the
county Jail yesterday without bail on a
charge of murder. He will be held to
await the action Of the next grand jury,
which will be called together in Novem-
Der.
Stokes had a preliminary hearing be-
fore Justice Levy Frluay evening at Cot
tage Hill, in the northern part of this
county, and the evidence was very much
against him. 1t was shown that he had
shot down, without any provocation, a
negro named William Clark at Moline,
Fla some two weeks ago.
The negroes at that place had given a
dance, and the usual row and fight oc-
Cured. A game of cards had been in
progress and Stokes had lost young
negro had won the limited supply of
stokes shekels, and the prowess of the
young negro had angered Stokes, who de-
manded that his money be returned. 1t
was only $1.4O and 81 was returned. The
remaining 40 cents was also demanded,
and when it was refused the fatal shots
were fired by Stokes, who, together with
several others now in the county jail, are
very good candidates for the gallows,
There are fifteen alleged murderers in the
county Jail here awaiting trial.

WILL DESTROY 10000 MAPS.
New Map Has County Of Rcrrlen in the
Wrong Place.

Ten thousand maps of the state of Geor-
gia, showing in brilliant red lines the con-
gressional districts of the state, Will be
destroyed by the department of agricul-
ture.
The cause of the humiliation of the
maps is the misplacing of the county OF
BerFien, lying in the southern part OF the
state.
: The agricultural department in the
preparation of their new book on the re-
sources of Georgia. has embodied in i a
map showing tho congressional districts
of the state. A shipment of the maps ar
rived short time ago. Commissioners
Stevens displayed some of them on re-
ceat visit he made TO south Georgia, and
one OF the maps came under the eye OF
Congressman w. G. Brantley, Of the Elev-
enth district.
Immediately the congressman noticed
that one of his counties, according to the
red lines. had been divorced from him and
given to the second district, represented
by Congressman Griggs.
Congressman Brantley did not know Of
any movement by which the county of
Berrien had been taken from him, so he

by the town of Bocas del Toro, and that
put 1t under martial law.
About August 18th we learned that a
force of fifty rebels had occupied a place
called Sunset Point. fifteen miles down the
lagoon, and looted the Chinese shops
there This brought another reinforce
ment of a company of sixty men from
Panama. A few days later the insurgents
took possession OF Old Bank, situated
about a mile and a half from here, across
the channel. and an intervening island,
Careening Cay.
From there they sent word into the
town to surrender 1t peacefully and save
bloodshed, as they had no desire to hurt
any one, but they were bound to have the
town.
The authorities did not surrender. but
sent to Panama for achievements, which
arrived on Sunday, September LIST.
On Monday, September 3D. there was
nothing done, except to look over the
ground and tell of the great things that
were going to be done tomorrow, for this
is the land of "Manana" tomorrow
On Tuesday, September Sd, the govern
ment forces pressed into use several gaso-
line launches from about the harbor and
a small sloop. With one of the launches
towing the sloop they took greater part
of the troops from the town and went
forth with a multitude of blue flags. as If
bound for battle, but they only occupied
San Juan point, on .Sansy Cay. where the
hospital of the United Fruit company is
situated. The conservatives or blues" are
tho present incumbents in office, while
the liberals or reds" are the outs.
When the enemy perceived that most
of the forces had been brought away
from the town they thought 1t was good
time to make a flank movement, so they
loaded the Ola with their soldiers and
started to land them on the beach OF
Shallow Bay, above the town.
This was seen by the colonel command
ing at Nansy Cay, who started four
launches with the sloop loaded with men
to intercept them. AS soon as they got
within range there was a brisk inter-
change of shots, the blues doing their best
to cripple the Ola 20 that she could not
proceed. She seemed to suffer severely,
for she circled about and put in for shore
again, closely followed by the other boats.
Ono Of the latter lost her jamaican en-
gineer by a stray bullet, and two men
were wounded slightly.
They followed the Ola to within 100
yards of the shore. Here the fire from her
friends on the shore became rather warm,
and the commander of the flotilla made
his great mistake in not landing and
rushing the trenches, but 1t seems that
the sight of the dead engineer and the
two wounded men was too much blood,
SO they withdrew to the safe view point
OF tho hospital and resumed their waste
