HARD TO REACH CAr1P
Reporters and Photographers Are
Faring Badly.


Smedes, Miss, Nov. ia number
of newspaper men and photographers
reached here last night and tried
every expedient to reach camp, but
their pleadings were vain. The ne
groes on the plantation who knew the
trail had strict orders not to take any
outsiders IN, and the orders were
obeyed. Some of them wanted TO
make an effort without guides. but
they were warned that il they did not
get lost in the dense forest they would
be stopped by guards along the trail.
Several of them Left in the hope of
being able to penetrate the Presidents
retreat from another direction.
Everything possible is being done
here to prevent intruders from inter
ifering with the Presidents spoI..
One entcrprising photographer, find
ing that he GOULD not secure photo
graph of the President, induced a
man who bore slight resemblance to
the President to pose on horsebatok in
cotton field, and went away meas
urably satisfied that the counterfeit
would pass for the original.
There Is q report here that Col.
Bobo has agreed to bring his big bear
pack OF forty-five hounds, and that
they will arrive during the day.
One of the newspaper men here this
morning tried TO bribe darkey TO
show him the way to the Presidents
camp. He offered tie negro s25-
deed, mister. responded the
negro, 81 wouldn't take you out
there for q million dollars. Mister
Mangum told us any of us that took a
white man there would be shot o.
hung. and amt going to take no
chances

In his last annual report. Msi. Gen.
Chaffee, commanding the department
of the Philippines, declared that it
will require time. tact aud patience to
estabIi-h United States authority over
the Moros country in the Philippines.
But he says the purpose never should
be lost sight OF. Says the General:
"The sooner the Sultan OF Jolos, title
actual or assumed, as sovereign and
as sole owner of land in the Jolo arch
ipelago shall be quieted, he better for
the situation. Probably there is little
doubt that a money consideration
would relieve the situation of his
claim aud presence. 1t will be impos-
sible for many years to ignore the
Dattos, AMI deal directly with the
Moroe, as is done by civilized and
christian people. To advance so far
will consume much time and may re-
suit in occasional conflicts for the
modification Of present beliefs to ac-
cord with the above ideas, will in
some cases require that militia be
used" The General advocates a mil
itary- civil rm Of government for the
natives with whom the military is
more or lees actively engaged. He
declares that workable knowledge of
native language is essential and will
be valuable for at least 100 years. He
recommends that congress give a bo-
nus Of $206 to each officer and enlist
ed man who attains q state of profc-
iency in the native languages and 800
additional for proficiency in the Span
ish language

Before Secretary Root left for New
York few days since, he had = long
conference behind closed doors on the
subject Of Cuba with Secretary Hay.
II is known that no conclusive steps
have been taken within the last few
days. 1t IL gathered now that the
presence OF Gen. Bliss, who is going
to Havana 10 assist the State Depart
ment in preparing the treaty, WINS sug-
geetsd by President Palmer. and that
it also is acceptable to Minister Squi-
ers. Reports from Cuba are to the
object that the Cubans are divided up
on the question Of reciprocity as OF r
ed. The Cuban Senate is reported TO
be favorable to the treaty as offered,
With few minor changes, and there
is no doub. expressed that the Senate
will accept the treaty when ii 10
amended by Gen. Bliss. There is
trouble in the CBban House which
seems inclined to act independently
of the United States. Gen. Bliss
will present definite propositions from
this government. He will state the
extreme concession which the United
States will grant, which is 20 per cent
on Cuban products, aud also will give
the Cubans the lowest possible ratee
of concessions which this country will
demand OF Cuba. 1t is expected that
Gen. Bliss will endeavor to close up
the negotiations speedily.

London, Nov l5.-Elnpreor Will
liam has concluded his visit to the
king at Sandr ingham and next week
viii; be the guest of Lord LDnsdaie at
Lowther Castle, Penleth. The Earl
Of Lonsdale enjoys particular favor
with the Emperor, in fact he is he
only British nobleman whom the EN-
peror honors with visit and it is
needless to say that no expense has
been spared in prov iding entertain
ment for the imperial guest. On the
occasion of the Emperor's four days
visit to Lowther castle in 1895 it is
known that Lord Lonsdale expended
close upon o million dollars and there
is reason to believe that an even
larger sum will be spent on the pres
ent occasion.
Lonsdale owes his favor with the
Emperor chiefly to the fao5 that he
was the first member of the British
nobility to display an active interest
in German affairs other than political.
He wason of the first yacht owners
to go to Kiel and to join the Imperial
Yacht club, and as he has a beautiful
craft the Empeio or frequently visited
him on board, sailed with him and
became his friend. Each year since
then Lord Lonsdale has been invited
to the army maneuvers, where, no
matter how many German and foreign
kings, rulers and princes of the blood
may be present, the earl is always ac-
corded place in the very front rank,
with officers and servants to wait on
him and imperial horses and CAR
riages at his disposal
The marked distinction with which
the earl ia received everywhere in
Germany has had the effect of great
ly raising his social prestige in Eng
mad. Prior to the time the Emperor
made his acquaintance he cannot be
said to have enjoyed either the re-
gard or respect of his fellow country
men. He had been mixed up IN all
sorts of queer affairs and unsayory
scandals, in controversies and brawls
fnotably his fistic encounter with
Sir George Chetwynd in Hyde Park
on the subject of Mrs. Langtry), so
much so, indeed, that on one occasion
the curate of q well known and fash
enable parish actually was dismissed
by his rector for having been seen in
the enrls company. The Emperor 8
friendship. however, has resulted in
people in England looking upon the
earl with . good deal more indul-
gence.
Lowther Castle, where the earl will
entertain his imperial guest and the
brilliant party that has been invited
TO meet him, Is one of the most i'm
posing mansions in the North. Its
great terrace is nearly a mile in
length, and is carried along the brink
of steep cliff, which overlooks part
of the park, with forest trees of i'm
mense growth and well replenished
with deer. The park of the Emperor
of China, at Gehol, Is called the
paradise of ten thousand trees" and
Lord Mccartney, Ambassador to
q hina, IN one of his letters says
"If any place can be said In any res
pect to have similar features to the
western park of Van Shoe Yeen, it is
1t Lowther.

While little or no interest is being
manifested in the state campaign, the

larly anxious that. good men should be

themselves to support all measures

liberal support of her institutions has
also been set up against useless legis-

sion that the success Of q legislature
depends not only on the number of

The preliminary steps to getting

encouraging. Mr.. Cromwell of New

property, had a conference with

The Secretay informed Mr. Crom-
well that there was really small
ground for so.icitude; that he was
making substantial progress, and
that he was sanguine Of a satisfac-
tory and early conclusion of nego-
tiations for right of way. Had there
been undue delay, it was the pur-
pose of the administration to ask
Congress so to amend the Spooner
act so that the agreement with Co

cede the purchase from the rev

ferences with number of Senators,
Mr.. Hay has satisfied himself that
there would be no objection from
Congress TO this course of procedure
and with the passage of the pro
posed amendment this government
would go on and perfect the pur-
chase, and then take up the work of
construction. The fact is not to be
disguised that any attempt on the
part of Colombia to hold up the
United States for the payment for
the right of way of an additional
sum exceeding the bounds Of reason

what Secretary Hay has said that
the administration has not distressed
itself over apparently dilatory tao

the canal is a world project. The

with the canal, and the Obstructive
