Now in view of this solemn
guarantee, which is part OF the
supreme law OF the land, we ask the
Advertiser: Is not the proposed
banishment OF Spanish subjects
from the Philippines, without trial
aud conviction, a breach OF the
treaty OF Paris. and therefore a
breach OF the supreme law of the
land? Would the consent OF the
Pope make it any less a breach of
the supreme law and OF national
honor?

Four American teachers have
been murdered in the Philippines.
Such thing is to be regretted but
now can it be otherwise? Do you
want Spanish speaking people
to fall in love and work in harmony
with English speaking teachers?
Such thing has been tried in
Canada several times during the past
century. The revolutions Of 1887
and 1886 were brought about by a
similar state OF affair. Still, today
they speak the French language in
the schools OF the Province OF
Quebec, Prince Edwards Island, New
Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
Teachers who do not speak that
language are not very popular ip
those British provinces.

The fact that those Spauisrds

the question. 1t is enough that
they are covered by The treaty.

The Advertiser seems to excuss
the expulsion OF the friars from the
Philippines by the expulsion OF the
Jesuits from France. Is the United
States Government looking to
France for precedents? And if The
United States Government should
arrest an army officer on charge OF
treason, gave him a mock court.

Island would the Advertiser excuse
it because France has done 80 with
Dreyfus?
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1902-08-01

Those who think 80, and who
would sanction such arbitrary
power by approving OF the banish-
ment OF a body of men from Amer
lean territory should read the his
tory of the "Alien and Sedtion
laws" that were passed by the
Federal party, we believe, shortly
after the birth Of the American
republic.

that that islsud has gone TO the

Getting in Readiness.

The Savannah Union Station Com
pany has a force busily employed in
getting its yards in readiness for the
opening of the station. An interlocking
switch plant is being put in, so that
the switches and tracks may be regu-
lated from a tower. A pumping plant
is being established at Springfield canal,
whence water will be pumped to the
tank from which locomotives will re-
ceive their supply. Artesian water is
not used for the reason that its min
eral qualities render it less desirable
for boilers than surface water.
About half mile more of track is to
be laid, and then the approaches to
the station viii be complete. Messrs.
Mckenzie & Son the station contrac-
tors, are also at work upon the round
house, which is well under way.
officers and employees for the station
have not yet been appointed. though it
is expected that they will be before
many days have passed. The superin-

LAWFUL PATERNITY DENIED.
Caveatrix to Grant of Administra-
ton Springs Sensation.

Yesterday was the first day of the
April term of the Court of Ordinary,
and as usual on such occasions a very
large amount of routine business was
transacted. Capt. McAlpin and his
office force were kept busy the entire
day. and there are other matters to
receive attention to-day and to-mor-
row.
A caveat was filed by Cornelia Hen
ry to the grant of letters of admins
tration upon the estate of Emanuel
NJ. Denis to Ella Hicks. The cavea-
trix recites that she is the sister and
legal next of kin of the decedent, that
the applicant for letters of admins
tration has not the right and that
statements of fact made in the appli-
cation are in themselves untrue.
The statements denounced as false
are as to the relationship of Ella Hicks
and John Hicks to the decedent. The
caveatrix says they are not the lawful
heirs of Emanuel Denis, both of them
being illegitimate children, having diff
ferent mothers.
The issue raised by the caveat will
be tried before the Ordinary during the
present trem. The caveatrix seeks to
have letters Of administration issued
to, her rather than to the original APP
plicant. The value of the estate is

HOLD SOUTH GEORGIA IN LINE.

From the Savannah Press, April 7.
The papers of the neighborhood in
dictate that the people of this section
show a disposition to line up for the
candidate from South Georgia for
Governor, in spite of the claims made
in the middle part of the state. This
strikes us as loyal and proper. The
contest for the nomination in Georgia
is just beginning. The past week has
witnessed greater activity than ever.
The people are only commencing to
manifest an interest in the campaign.
South Georgia, if it proposes now or
ever in the future, to elect a Cover
nor should go into the convention in
Atlanta with it's counties in line for
it's candidate. The effect of such unit
ed and steadfast support would be
good. 1t would show that South Geor-
gia is in earnest in her belief that she
is due the nomination from the rest of
the state.
Earlier in the year, when Col Es-
tills candidacy was announced the
politicians of North Georgia doubted
whether South Georgia was in ear
nest in presenting a name, or wheth-
er this section would enter the con-
vention united in favor of a candi-
date from this part of the state. 1t
has been the history of these move
over South Georgia would divide and
the prestige of its candidate would
be lost. Whenever a man enters a
race from North Georgia that part of
the commonwealth lines up behind
him and from the mountains to the
Air Line railroads gives him solid
support. Col. Gambler when he ran
for Governor in 1898, had just this
backing, and Steve Clay. when he
stood for Senator in 1896, was like
wise supported by the formidable
phalanx.
Now, if South Georgia wants to be
a factor in state politics. let it enter
the list here and now, so that every
county from the Florida line, from
the seacoast to the Chattahoochee,
and stretching as far up as a line
drawn through Columbus, Macon and
Augusta. shall be practically behind
one man. Thissis the only way South
Georgia can assert itself in a state
convention and make its influence felt
now and hereafter.

FOR PRIZES AND MEDAL.
Drill of the First Regiment VIII
Probably BE Held.

Final reports upon the proposition for
a prize drill and dance for the local
companies of the First Infantry were
not received last night, but will be at
the meetings of the commands next
Monday night. The letter from Capt.
w. E. Coney. adjutant, relative to the
affair, was read by the company COM
nnanders, and the expression of opinion
was about equally divided for and
against the proposal.
After the company meetings the Off
GERS gathered in their quarters for a
discussion of the proposed drill and
dance. 1t was then agreed, finally,
that the plan was a good one, and it
will be laid before the Directing COM
panies in different light.
Lieut.. Col. G. A. Gordon addressed
the men who assembled for instruction
in guard duty after the meetings, tell
ing them just what is proposed Rep
resentatiyes from all of the companies
were present, and their reports to their
comrades will doubtless have the eff
feet of changing many from oppose
ton to support of the project
One attractive feature that was pro-
posed by Col. Gordon. which had not
before been touched upon, is that offer
ing prize of IS to the man from each
company squad of four who may be
the last standing, the grand prize of
50 and the handsome regimental medal
going to the last man of the twenty
four contestants left standing 1t had
been understood that there would be
no other than the medal prize, but it
was shown that there would be $50
in addition.
1t is proposed to have the affair at
the Guards Hall within about six
weeks. The object will be to raise
funds with which to buy drums and
bugles for the equipment Of a drum
and bugle corps for the Regiment. 1t
is proposed to have the officers Of the
garrison at Fort Screven judge the

A Number of savannahians VIII
Probably Go to Charleston.
A number of Savannahians will prob
the round trip offered by the Plant sys-
tenn on account of the visit of Presi-
dent Roosevelt to the Charleston Expo
sition. This will take place tomorrow,
and the early morning train from Sa-
vannah will doubtless have many pas
sengers attracted by that event.
Capt. Walter z. Coney, adjutant of
the First Infantry, is among those who
will go from Savannah. He has been
invited to ride on the staff of the COM
handing officer of the parade that will
be a feature of the day. This invita-
ton he has accepted.
Several military features of the ex-
position have attracted the attention
and interest of military men. Among
these is the camp of the regiment from
the volunteer troops of North Carolina.
This has been established near the
place where the cars of the Savannah
military were parked when the soldiers
from this city went to Charleston to
participate in the parade that was held
on Washington's birthday.
From each of the three regiments of
the North Carolina volunteers were Sc
lected four companies, and these picked
troops were sent to Charleston, the
state furnishing transportation, the ex-l
position company furnishing quarters
and the troops furnishing their subsist-
ence.
April 16 is Savannah Day at the ex-
position, and it is probable that there
will then be many Savannahians to
take the trip.

HASKELL WAS DISMISSED,

of Much Ado About Nothing.

Case Against PawnbrOker Was one
of Much Ado About Nothing.
With no evidence to sustain the
charge, Edward Haskell, a pawnbroker.
was dismissed by Recorder Myrick in
Police Court yesterday for an alleged
interference with. Patrolman Martin
Scully. The hearing developed the fact
that there had been much ado about
nothing, and no testimony of a start
ling nature was adduced.
The trouble between Scully and Kas-
kell occurred after the patrolman had
arrested a man for an assault that he
had not committed. The arrest of the
wrong man by the officer .occasioned
considerable excitement, and the argu-
ment which resulted in the docketing
of the pawnbroker occurred after Soul
ly had sent his prisoner to the station
house. Haskell claimed that he had
been first addressed by Scully, who
threatened to run him III.
He stated that at the time of Scullys
Interference he was addressing his re-
marks to a citizen and that the Off
Ger got into the game without being
spoken to. Scully stated that Haskell
had addressed him first and had stated
that he had sent the wrong man in.
He then told the pawnbroker that he

coLoRED TEACHERS TO MEET.
An Institute for Their Benefit to Be
Held at Industrial College.


A colored teachers institute will be
conducted at the State Industrial Col
lege, beginning April 90. and contin-
uing through May 30. The following
circular letter has been issued by
superintendent Otis Ashmore, superin-
tendent of public schools:
For the benefit, of those colored
teachers whose schools are now closed,
and for those who are preparing to
teach, normal institute will be held
at the State Industrial College, for col
ored youth, near Savannah, from April
29 to May 80. inclusive. The object of
this institute is to afford an oppor-
tunity to all the colored teachers of
Georgia to improve themselves in their
profession by studying the latest and
best methods of teaching in connection
with practical application under the
guidance and inspiration of expert
enced teachers.
"A cordial invitation is hereby ex-
tended to all teachers who may desire
to avail themselves of the excellent
advantages afforded by this institute.
The tuition will be free. The cost of
board and lodging will be reduced to
basis of actual expenses. Male teach
ers can secure board and lodging on
the college grounds at the rate of IS
a month. Female teachers can obtain
lodging near the college at very rea-
sonable rates, and meals at the college
dining hall, at ten cents meal.
The course of study will include
arithmetic, geography. United States
history, reading, writing, spelling, ETC.,
and lectures on methods and school
mana cement, besides special lectures
from time to time by prominent educa-
tors. Special attention will be given to
those who are preparing for the state
and county examinations soon to be
given. County commissioners are ear
nestly requested to call the attention
of the colored teachers of their re-
spective counties to this institute, and
to urge them to attend.
The institute has the approval of
the State School Commissioner, and
certificates of attendance, which will
be given, will doubtless be accepted by
the county boards of education as a
compliance with the legal requirements
concerning the annual attendance of
teachers upon some institute The in
stitute will be under the general man
agement Of President r. r. Wright,
with a corps of skillful teachers and
any further information may be OBJ
tanned by writing to him."
