A PLAGUE SPOT

1t would be interesting to a good many
people to know what the Governor of
South Carolina is going to do in respect
to the notification sent him by the Gov
ernor of this state relative to the small
pox epidemic on the island of 81 Helena
That island appears TO be an abiding place
of the loathsome disease, which every
year or two becomes epidemic, and which
the negroes carry to the mainland.
1t would not be surprising if the cpl
denies of smallpox that afflicted parts OF
this state and the state of South Carolina
last year and the year before had their
origin in that island. But whether they
had or not there is no doubt that the
island in is present unsanitary condition
is a menace to this city II is practically
impossible to keep negroes from St. Helena
out of Savannah, and there is no way of
finding out whether those who arrive here
to trade have been in contact with the
disease or not.
The Legislature of South Carolina is in
session. and it should take into considera-
ton the question of providing means for
stamping out the disease on the island
and keeping 1t stamped out We don't
know whether South Carolina has a
Board of Health or not. If it has the
Governor ought TO ask for an appropria-
tion for Kidding the state, and particular
ly st. Helena. of the smallpox, and If IL
hasn't, the Legislature should create a
commission and provide it with means 10
free the st. Helena negroes from this hor-
rible disease. The Mayor of this city
called the attention of the Governor of
this state to the fact that the island is a
danger spot, and Georgias Governor has
communicated with South Cardinals Gov
ernor about the matter. Will nothing more
in regard to 1t be done by these officials?
VIII they permit the smallpox to spread
without doing anything further to arrest
its progress? VIII not the Governor of
South Carolina take steps to have it at
tackled in the place of its origin?

An interviewer the other day asked
Alfred Harmsworth. the London editor
how it was that Richard Croker was so
well received in England. Mr.. Harms
worth replied that over there politics was
an honored profession; that all the young
men OF good families entered politics, not
always for profit since many of them find
II an expensive amusement. Mr.. Croker
is known in England as a remarkably
successful American politician, and Eng
lshmen take him as they find him. so
"heh Mr.. Croker is well received and
'he nelghboring gentry call upon him at

scaiawag peers are so well received here

AFTER AGUINALDo.

MANILA. March 23.-General Funs-
ton is now engaged In a daring project
which promises to be the greatest and
most romantic achievement Of his
eventful career
In January, from his hiding place in
the province of Isabella, Aguinaldo
wrote letters anathematizing the sub
chiefs who had taken the oath of al
legiarce to the United States, Later
Agulnaldo ordered insurgent forces in
southern Luzon to join him at a rem
iezvous in Isabella province, The reb-
el officer intrusied with these orders
secretly negotiated with the Americans.
On securing necessary Information, Gen
Funston planned Aguinaldo's capture
and with General MacArthur's author
ization. General Funston proceeded two
weeks ago to make the attempt.
General Funston, with Surgeon Major
Harris, Captain Newton, of the Thirty
fourth infantry; Lieutenant Adaire, OF
the Twenty-second infantry; Lieutenant
| Mitchell. OF the Fortieth infantry, six
veteran scouts and a company Of ma
tive scouts. all picked men, embarked
on the gunboat Vicksburg and were
| landed On a remote beach above Baler,
II was arranged that Aguinaldo's en-
issary, with the native scouts, should
pass themselves of as insurgent troops
who. having captured General Funston
and others, were taking them as pris-
oners to Aguinaldo. At the right time
when brought before Aguinaldo, Gener-
| al Funston was to give a signal wher
| the tables were to be turned and Aguin-
aldo was to be seized.
Six days march into the interior
were contemplated, Treachery was con-
| sidered possible, but every precautior
was taken. The troops in New Viscaya
and New Ecija and the gunboats Vicks-
burg and Albany were to cooperate
with General Funston's forces. Tbs
/ Vicksburg is expected here tomorrow.
Colonel Rosario, with fifty-one meT
and ffty-six rifles, has surrendered Il
Colonel Baldwin, Of the Fourth infantry
at san Francisco de Malabon, Cavit'
province.
Lieutenant Dean, of Troop C, Sixth
cavalry, has engaged a force of insur'
gents at Tubig. Laguna province, kill
ing several of them and capturing sever
men and thirty-four rifles.

BRYAN NOT AFRAID.
Thinks Nebraska Fusionists Will Never
Help Elect Republican Senator.

LINCOLN. March 2S.-In connection
with the report that number of fu-
siop!sts were considering the advisa-
bility of voting for Republicans for U.
S. senator's or absenting themselves so
that a less number might elect, VIM. J.
Bryan was asked this evening whether
he thought any Democrat or Popullst
would take the responsibility of giving
this aid to the Republicans. Bryan
said;
Not unless ne is bought. l shall not
assume without evidence that any Of
our gislators is corruptible. No fu-
sionists can have any legitimate ex-
cuse for helping the Republicans out
Of their difficulty. They have clear
majority in both branches of tie legis-
lature and il they cannot agree upon
suitable man let them take the con-
sequences, No fusionist would dare to
face his constituents after voting for
the nominee of Republican caucus, and
fusionist who would absent himself
in order to help a Republican simply
adds cowardice to corruptibility,"

NEGOTIATIONS CRITICISED.

NEGOTIATIONS CRITICISED.
NEW YORK. March 23.-A dispatch
TO the Tribune from London says:
The fun text of Lord Kltchener's ne
Vo,laiions with General Boiha has been
received with mixed emotions by the
commons and will probably open the
way for several drsultOry debates. The
Miniucrlalis.s contend that the govern
ihrnt rs strengthened by the disclos-
urr since the terms offered the Beers
were more srlcrOus than their leaders
could have expected and that th- chang
- made by Mr. Chamberlain were prop
er safeguards against burghefs who
had shown talen, Tor abusing the
confidence of British generals.
The RtiicIls have discerncd In the
modified text ~ the terms Of peace a
convenient prctcx, for renewing their
attack upon Mr. Chamberlain. They
contrast IN: original draft made by
Lord Kitchener with the amendment Of
ierel by Sir Alfred Miner and with
the numerous alterations insisted upon
by Mr. Chamberlain and assert that
the British and Boer generals under-
stood each other ana might have made
peace II The oiiicious civilians had not
| interviewed with unnecessary fusslness
and suspiclousness
The answer made by Mr. Chamber
liins par,isans Is that General Kltch-
, encr's peace would have been hol-
low truce and that It was fortunate
that England had In the colonial office
strong man sufficiently resolutc to
prevent an artificial settlement which
would have prolonged the period Of
Boer agitation and rcstlessness and In
volved a fresh campaign after a tenn
porary armstice.
while the, opinions In the commons
are diverse respecting individual res
possibility for the failure Of the nego-
tiations. there is general agreement that
Mr. Chamberin will be placed on the
defensive during subsequent debates
and that he will be forced into prac-
tical leadership Of the party by aggres-
sIve opposition tactics.
