TROUBLE BREWING
FOR LITTLE CUBA
BELIEVED THAT The UNITED
STATES WILL AGAIN BE
FORCED TO INTERVENE.

washington, Aug. 1.-THE situa-
ton OF the Cuban government is moi
without cause for concern on the part
Of the Washington government. That
intervention by the United States
again will be necessary, however re-
luctant it may be to take the step
is an opinion that is shared by many
All is not smooth sailing for Pres
ident Gomez. Only recently his en-
tire cabinet resigned, and his new
administration is not vet on settled
basis. 1t is understood that difficult
ties are being encountered that vii
lead to new changes among his sec
retaries. A crisis is not looked fol
in the immediate future but the
trend of events is such that a break
up seems inevitable.
The Cuban legation here and the
government in Havana are indignant
over the recent publication OF Ger
tain facts concerning the admins
traction of affairs in Cuba. A conspir-
acy of the press of the United States
is alleged, and the Cubans are con
vlnced that some one with ulteriof
motives is working for the downfall
Of the new republic. Neither the
state department nor any one else ir
Washington has been able to discover
evidences of a campaign against the
island of Cuba.
Publications Objected to.
Inc Cubans have resented the pub
lication of the fact that the state de
partment had protested against the
illegal discharge of Mr. Page. the Am
erican engineer appointed by Govern
or MagoOn to supervise the building
of the Cienfuegos aqueduct, against
the placing of machiner/ for sugal
mills on the free list; against the pur-
chase of arms abroad: against the pro
posed trade Of property between the
government and the United Railways
of Havana against the non-fulfillment
of the Mckinney Rokeby contract in
Havana, and the payment of w
j. Ol1Ver for his Plnar del Rio road
also the departments attitude con
cerning the sending of General Lion
az del Castillo to South America as
an emissary of the Cuban government
That the state department took the
action specified in these cases is {
matter of common knowledge here
and that the facts have been pub
Iished is considered outrageous by
the Cubans.
News recently reached Washington
of an effort to sell to the government
certain lands adjoining Camp Colum-
bia, few miles outside of Havana
where the Cuban regular army is es-
tablished.

Will Stop Sale of
Beer On Island

This will probably be the last sum-
mer that near-beer (as it is called
will be sold on St. Simon, as well as
other resorts in Georgia, as quite rad
ical changes have been made in the
prohibition law, through the tax act
passed by the senate.
The law, as amended by the SEN
ate. prohibits the sale OF near-beel
or substitutes for near-beer, wine OF
whisky, as the section calls them
outside the city limits of incorporated
cities and towns, and also prohibits
its sale in any towns less than 2,5Ot
inhabitants.
Since the state inaugurated tire
prohibition law the so-called near
beer has been sold in all sections oil
the state except in few cities Where
the city authorities have prevented
it. The new law. however, will stoE
it's sale in many places.

BRUNSWICK JUDICIAL CIRCUIT
TO BE DIVIDED FIRST OF
THE COMING YEAR.
Judge Parker Will Resign and Offer
for Judge of New Circuit-Twc
Local Attorneys Are Already ir
the Field for His PIace-Others
May Also Enter.

4eiegraphic information was receiv-
ed in the city yesterday announcing
that the bill dividing the Brunswick
circuit had been passed by the SEN
ate. The measure was passed by the
house last week and now only needs
the signature of the governor to be-
come law.
The final passage of tlis bill means
that the circuit will be divided or
January /, next, the present circuit
to be composed Of the counties Of
Glynn, Wayne, Appling, Camden and
Jeff Davis, while the new circuit tC
be known as the Waycross circuit
will be composed of Ware. Pierce
Coffee, Charlton and Clinch.
The division of the circuit will ne
cessitate the election of new judge
of the Brunswick circuit and o new
solicitor of the Waycross circuit.
Judge Parker, who is now the pre-
siding officer Of the Brunswick cir
cult, lives in Waycross and he has
announced that he will resign as judge
of the Brunswick circuit and be 3
candidate for the new judgeship. 1t
is hardly probable that he will be
opposed.
Solicitor Thomas, of Baxley, will
continue solicitor of the Brunswick
circuit, and this means an interest
ing contest for the solicitorShip OF
the new circuit. Among those who
will seek the position are Judge F.
Willis Dart and Col. M. D. Dickinson
both of Douglas. 1t is also reported
that a prominent Waycross attorney
will get into the race.
A Local Judge.
That Brunswick will furnish tht
new judge of this circuit there is nc
doubt. but there is some doubt as to
who it will be. Two candidates have
! already announced, with others to
hear from. The announced candi-
| dates are Judge Boiling Whitfield and
] Col. c. B. Conyers. two Of the best
known and most popular members OF
/ the local bar. The judge will be ap-
/ ro;ntpd by Governor Brown, and the
friends of bCtn of these candidates
will now get actively at work. How
| ever there may be third candidate
in the field, as some of the other coun-
/ ties are yet to be heard from.

PARTY OF SIXTEEN WILL LEAVE
CITY THIS MORNING TO
START THE SURVEY.
First Time the Government Has Ever
/ Recognized This Georgia Stream.
/ 1t Will Take Between Two and
/ Three Months to Make Survey of
] the River.

w. Z. Lemen, Of the local govern.
ment engineers Office, will leave the
city this morning with a surveying
party OF sixteen, for st. Marys. Cam
den county, where he will begin on
a preliminary survey of the St.
Marys river, the first time in the his
tory of the stream that the govern
ment has ordered a survey.
Mr. Lemen and the party will 60
aboard large government house
boat, which will be towed to st.
Marys by the Spray the new boat re-
Gently purchased by the government
for work in this district. The Spray
however, will not remain at st. Marys
but will return to Brunswick, the
launch Amelia being used in the
work The surveying party will live
aboard the houseboat during the time
that they are engaged in the work
The boat has just been thoroughly
overhauled at the plant CT Armstrong
& Lucree.
The survey of the st. Marys river
is to be from Cumberland sound to
a point twenty miles above Kings
Ferry, taking in all about seventy
miles. The engineering department
has about $1,000 on hand for this
work. Mr.. Lemen thinks that it will
take between two and three months
to complete the survey.
This preliminary survey means that
the st. Marys river has been recog
nized by the government for the first
time, and the survey may mean a
good appropriation for general i'm
provements at the next session of the
congress. After the survey is COM
pIeted a full report will! be sent in
by Engineer Conant, showing just
what improvements are needed, the
estimated cost, ETC., and if it is acted
upon favorably St. Marys river will
get an appropriation in the next
rivers and harbors bill.
Mr.. Le1nen with his surveying party
has lust finished a preliminary sur
yev between Brunswick and Sayan'
nah. The local Office has been un-
usually busy this year making these
surveys, a larae amount having been
appropriated last year for them on
several nearby streams

DOWN NEWCASTLE
COMES CAR LINE
WITH BIG FORCE OF HANDS
GRADING HALF COMPLETED
IN ONE DAY.

With a force Of seventy men
the City and Suburban Railway com
pany yesterday, with great rush
went to work on Newcastle street
The work was started near the cor
ner of Mansfield, and was pushed with
all rapidity, and before the end of the
day the grading had been completed
almost up to Gloucester AS has been
stated, Newcastle street was left un-
til the last, and the work on the street
will be finished Just as quickly as
possible. The street is to be dou-
bled-tracked from Gloucester to
Mansfield, and it will, of course, be
necessary to do additional work. AS
soon as the grading is completed fol
a block the ties are laid and the
rail will at once go down. therefore
the principal business street of the
city will be torn up for only few
days.
The company is making a record in
trolley building, and by the end o.
the week it is probable that all the
grading and trackIaying, with the ex-
ception of the curves, will be COM
pleted. Some Of the curves have al
ready reached the city and are in
position, while others will arrive ir
a few days and will at once go down
AS stated in The News a few days
ago, the indications are that the line
will be completed a week or more
earlier than was at first expected
and from all indications cars will be
in operation by September 20.
