THE GEORGIA CENTRAL.
Report That the St. L. and s. r. is to Buy it
Made and Denied.
(By the Associated Press

lby lne Associated PreSS.)
New York, Aug. 4.-The Evening Post
says:
Very positive statements were made
today that negotiations are pending for
the acquisition of the Georgia Central
system by the st. Louis and San Fran
cisco, which, last week, secured the Chi
cago and Eastern Illinois and which dur
ing the last year has made notable prog
ress in expansion. There reports were
practically confirmed, so far as regards
the statement that negotiations with this
purpose have been under way. They are
not, however, completed.
From the same authority, a denial
was obtained of the reports of a grand
merger of all Southern railroads.
Reports that the ST. Louis and San
Francisco road is negotiating for control
of the Georgia Central system are scout
last named property.
"This is the first I have heard of any
such plan" said this director. There is
nothing to justify it, and all talk that
the Southern Railway controls the Geor-
gia Central is utter nonsense. The South
ern has no direct or indirect interest
in that property, which is owned by the
landholders, who, in turn, are represent
cd by the voting trustees"
President Yoakum, of the st. Louis and
San Francisco road, declined to affirm
or deny the report or discuss il in any
way. The ST. Louis and San Francisco
has, 1t is understood, secured control of
the Chicago and Eastern Illinois and
it is to begin branching out in other
directions.

lBy the Agsoeiated Press.l J

Washington ID. c., Aug. 4-The State
Department has received the following
cablegram from Minister Squiers dated
Havana, August 4:
1.-The House has passed bill author
izing loan of thirty-five millions; mini
mum rate of issue 80 per cent Maximum
interest per cent, redeemable in forty
years."
Under the Platt amendment the Unit ed
States is bound to take cognizance of
every action of the Cuban Government
relating to loans. Article of that amend
ment provides:
THAT said government shall not as
sumo or contract any public debt to pay
the interest upon which, and to make rea-
sonable sinking fund provision for the
ultimate discharge of which the ordinary
revenues of the island of Cuba, after de-
fraying the current expenses of the gov
ernment shall be inadequate"
Nc computation has been made to as
certain whether or not the loan provided
for in the bill which Minister Squiers
refers to trespasses upon the provision
of the Platt amendment, but it is -nre-
sumed that the Cuban revenues can pay
beside defraying the ordinary expenses
of the government, as provided In the
amendment.
At the same time it will no
doubt be found very difficult to in
terpret this particular provision as the
questions of revenues may fluctuate ac-
oording to the conditions in the island. 1t
is known that the intention of Article
was to prevent any extraordinary issue
of bonds for the purpose of redeeming
the bonds Of the so-called republic pre-
vious to the Spanish American War and
the payment of large bounties to those
who had taken part in the insurrection
against Spain. 1t was intended as a
check upon the Cuban Government in the
matter of incurring Indebtedness al
though it carries no provision indicating
what would be the action of the United
States should the Cuban Government ex-
ceed the Indebtedness prohibited by the
amendment.
Neither is there anything in the
amendment indicating what steps
.he United States would take to determ-
inc whether the Indebtedness was be-
yond the prescription, or how it would
prevent the incurring of sucn indebted
ness.

Wrecking Train.
From Two Points Branch's Bloodhound, Tiger,

Home.
Especial to News and observer.)

Especial to News and Observer
Washington, n, c., Aug. 4.-Strong sus-
picion rests upon white man by the
name of William Ange for an attempt to
wreck the Washington and Plymouth pas
senger train on Saturday morning. While
he has not been arrested for the crime
he is constantly watched for fear he
might make an attempt to escape.
Hurricane" Branch, the sheriff of Suf-
folk, with his bloodhound Tiger" ar
rived at the scene Saturday night There
were two rails gone and the dog was
taken to where the south rail was MISS
ing and placed upon the trail. The anil
NAL caught trail without trouble and ran
to where the rail had been secreted. From
the rail the bloodhound kept a hot trail
until Anges field was reached when the
dog was called off and taken back to the
place where the wreckage occurred
He was again placed on the trail and
went directly this time to Ange's house,
keeping the trail hot from first to last
Ange was not at home but was visiting
at his brothers. He resides about two
miles from the wreck. Ange has had
trouble with the railroad for years. q
long time before it was extended to
Washington, in the way of law suits, etc.
He had a COW killed by the log train
and it was not settled to his satisfaction
This, it is thought aroused his anger to
such pitch that he sought revenge by
wrecking the train. He is said to be
man Of bad character. He has large
family.
There is no doubt that the right party
has been located. The officials viii see
to it that the guilty party is brought to
justice. Feeling is running high against
Ange.
