Mr.. Churchill has written a much better book

first and most convincing proof of this is the
interest which the narrative rouses at the out
set and keeps alive until the conclusion is
reached. There were dull passages in the earlier
work. due to the authors disposition to dwell
too long purely historical matters There
is no dulness in this book. Occasionally Mr.
Churchill yields to the temptation to put the

DO NOT WANT ANNEXATION
Is What a Texas Congressman
Learned i'm Cuba.

Congressman James l.. Slayden, OF
of San Antonio, Texas, has just re-
turned from a fifteen days tour of Gu
ba, and in Washington on Saturday he
talked for some of the newspaper re
porters. Mr.. Slayden speaks Spanish
huently, and made diligent effort by
interviewing the Cubans themselves
to ascertain what relations they desire
to hold with the American people.
He mingled with the Cubans freely,
and saws he does believe ten per cent.
of them accept the Platt amendment
freely. He also says that with the
exception of such as have plantations
90 sell and hope to find buyers in the
United States, and suguar planters
who want the free introduction of
their sugars to the markets of the
United States, the Cubans do not want
annexation. The Cubans, as a rule,
want absolute Independence, but the
Texas congressman says that he was
impressed with the idea that they do
not expect it. They believe now that
the dominant party in the United
States has decided to retain control
of the island of Cuba at all hazards.

Congressman Urges Claims On
War Department.

A Washington dispatch says Rep

tain Spence of Georgia for appointment
in the regular army. He also called at
the war department on the same sub
iect. 1t is understood the president
now has under consideration large
batch of army appointments which will
probably include several Georgians.
At this time it is not possible TO obtain
the names of the aspirants for military
honors in view of the fact that at the
war department several lists are made
up and selections are made from each
according to the amount of pressure
brought to bear Oh behalf OF the appll-
cantS.
The theory is that merit shall come
first and influence second, but in many
cases those on the second list are
jumped over the heads of those on the
first.

Ia his monthly talk for April to the
farmers Commissioner y. B. Stevens
of the department of agriculture lays
stress upon the importance of keeping
the cotton acreage within proper
bouLds, advice which the farmers must
heed if they expect to get high prices
for their staple next year. At the out
set MIR. Stevens says
1.-The season of 1899 and 1900 was the
best that the farmers of Georgia have
known in many years. The cause OF
this prosperity is known to all. A large
percentage of all supplies were raised
at home and the comparatively short
crop of cotton brought good prices.
The United States statistician esti-
mates the crops of Georgia for 1900 as
follows: Corn, "a, 119, $50 bushels: oats,
7.0lO. O40 bushels; wheat, 5,0ll, 1873 bush

GAMBLER GOES TO NEW
YORK TO GET CASH.
THAT SAME OLD TROUBLE OF PAYING
TEACHERS is UP AGAIN.
Right 10 Use State Property Fund Is De.
MED, and Courts viii be.CaIIed Upon
to Pass ON the Matter.

Governor Gambler left for New York
Wednesday night to borrow 5000, 600
on account of the state to pay the
school teachers OF Georgia their second
months salary of the present year.
The governor is permitted to do this
under the constitution, but back of it
all is controversy between the state
officials, which involves the public
property fund of $432,0 now in the
state treasury and the legal right of
the officials to use it temporarily.
The matter is to be tested in the
courts for the purpose Of future guild
ance. There is only 5000 in the
: ate treasury now which is available
for paying the teachers When that
is exhausted, as it will soon be, State
Treasurer Park win, it is said, refuse
to honor the governors warrants on
the ground that he has no funds with
which to continue the payments.
State School Commissioner Glenn
will then bring mandamus proceedings
against the state treasurer seeking to
compel him to make the payments by
borrowing temporarily from the pub
lie property fund.- as has been done
heretofore. The case will 90 then
to the supreme court.
The coming law suit grew out of the
fight over the Atlanta depot question
in the last legislature
The public property fund was used
last year to pay the teachers and has
been so used for several fears.
The constitution prescribes that this
money cannot be used only for the
purpose of paying off bonds.
When the legislature wanted to APP
propriate this money to build a depot
on the states property in Atlanta this
constitutional provision stood in the
way.

A Washington dispatch says atten-

crepancy between the number of in
surgents surrendered and captured and
the number of rifles surrendered and
captured in the Philippines. The
latest figures compiled by the war de-
partment give the former as 20,06s,
and the latter 1867. In other words,
the number of insurgents who have
given up fighting is nearly three times
the number of rifles turned in.
This matter is worryingcthe depart
ment officials not little. a few months
after the insurrection broke out it was
estimated that the insurgents had, all
told, in the neighborhood Of $4,000 RI

number of FilIpinos killed and wound
ed since the war began as approximate
ly correct. viz: $4,000, and adding the
number captured and surrendered the
total number of insurgents put hors du
combat is seen TO be more than 1900.
In comparison with this number the
,G67 rifles recovered by the American
forces.appear surprisingly few, espe-
cially when it is considered that as an
extra inducement for the surrender of
rifles the government has been paying
$50 for every one turned 10. The where
abouts of the 40, 900 or more rifles still
outstanding is well calculated to arouse
the suspicious of the officials.
