STATEMENT OVERDRAWN.
Pay for Troops In the Service is In
creased.


Havana, Aug. 2s.-The statement
that all insurgent leaders except Gu
ezra are going to surrender is over
drawn. However, it is thought that
practically all will come in. Recruit
ing is stopped. Pay for all the troops
in the service is increased. Ex-Con-
gresham Mendieta, and Colonel Ar
anda have arrived. Guerras' failure
to keep the promise to capture Pinar
del Rio upon the march to Havana
caused him to lose prestige with the
followers as they were expecting him
to make this spectacular rush against
the government. Business is picking
up and merchants are regaining conf
dence in the Palmas government.

fMrEREsrINa no HEAR.

The Grafton Sentinel remembers
what the Democratic papers have
been saying in regard to assessment
by the State Board of Public Works
and makes the following timely re-
marks in that connection:
The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
Company has taken an appeal from
the assessment of its property in Ma
rfon county, as made by the Board
OF public Works. The appeal was
granted by Judge Mason, in whose
court the case will be heard. 1t is
thought likely that the Judge will
dispose of the case in short time
Il has been rumored that the COM
pany intends to make the same kind
Of an application in this county that
has been made in Marion, but SO far
no such application has reached
Judge Holt. The Increase lin the as
easements of the properties of what
is known as the public service cor
porations OF the State have been
very materially advanced over the as
sessments In past years, and the re-
slstance now being offered by these
corporations are not unexpected,
and 1t is not surprising that they will
resist these increases by resortfng to
every legal remedy known to the
law. The Board OF Public Works
spent much time and labor in the in
vestigation of these properties, and
it was only after an exhaustive in
quiry into the real value OF the spe-
cies of property that comes under the
provisions OF the new tax laws pro-
viding for assessment by the Board
of Public Works, that the valuations
recently promulgated were arrived
at. It will be remembered that the
Democratic newspapers sometime ago
raised quite howl over what they
then imagined was a tendency on
the part of the B. p w. to let the
railroads. oil companies, gas and 9TH
err valuable holdings slip through UNI
der an assessment that would work
great injustice to the farmer and
other individual property owners.
Since The railroads and other COM
panies are raising such an cutlery
against the action OF the board 1t
will be interesting now to hear what
our Democratic friends will have to
say.
