Spaniards Give Up the Ever faithful
Isle.
.
A PROCLAMATION ISSUED.
To the People of Cuba Warning
Them Against Undue
Excitement and Violent
Demonstations.
On last Wednesday (he American
evacuation commissioners issued (he
following proclamation to the inliahitanta
of the island of Cuba. The undersigned
commissioners on the part of i
the United States, having been invested
with power by the President to ar- i
range for ami execute the evacuation of
the island of Cuba and adjacent islands
and also taking over the public property
of Spain, have entered into an agreement
with the commissioners on the
part of Spain for the fittnl ceremonies
and lobulations to he observed and car- |
ried out on the- first day of January
and thereafter until all Spanish troops
shall have embarkod for repatriation,
and the same is published for the guidaneo
of tho inhabitants and othois out- ;
side of the Santiago district:
The undersigned desire in this pub
lie manner to impress and enjoin upon
all the people of the island the nceosjsity
for slict compliance with tho terms
of this agreement, to the end that pub
I'm order and due respect for the gravity
of tho o 'casion may provie, and cs
peciallv to admonish all elapses of pen 1
p o to o\i iviso self-restraint and moder ,
aiion and rcfiuin from giving cause of
oftenor irritation, and from the ex
hihltiot !'excitement. unduo manifes '
tntion cd" feeling <u from doing at y net
cah ulatcd to produce in it: lion or bad
feeling.
For nearly four mouths this commis
sion and other oilieials of the I'nitcd
Stall - have been under tlie protection
ol tho Spanish authority. They have
extended to us the most scrupulous I
courtesy and consideration, and not one '
unpleasant incident has marred our so
journ in their midst, and now that our
positions arc soon to bo reversed, and
they arc to become our guests and entitled
to our protection, we must see to
it that they enjoy the same immunity
and consideration. Apart from (he
eminent propriety of such a course,
the best interests of all classes, Cubans,
Spaniards and Americans, will be
thereby subserved.
Acting under a sense of duty to the
people and our government, we give notice
that any violation of the tonus and
->rovisions of this agreement will he resented
and the olfendors brought
promptly to justice. Representing all
classes and interest we shall he governed
by the strictest impartially, with
the sole purpose of promoting the rehabilitation
and paciiication of Cuba. The
preservation of peace the security to
persons and to property and the establishment
and maintenance of government.
with just laws impnrtiulally administered,
are iudespcnsiblc to the
welfare and happiness of the people.
Wo, therefore, confidently invoke the
aid and co-operation of the inhabitants
in accomplishing these ends.
The agreement is as follows:
Whereas, the convention entered
into on the sixteenth day of November,
1898, between the commissioners of the
I'nitod States and the commissioners
of Spaiu provides that the final evacuation
of the territory of Cuba and adjacent
Spanish islands by the forces of
Spain shall he completed at 12 o'clock,
meridian, on the first day of January,
1890, and says that if for unavoidable
reasons the embarkation of the Spanish
forces shall not be completed on the
date herein fixed, in such case suitable
and convenient places shall be designated
for the residence of the remaining
Spanish troops until their embarkation
shall be accomplished, it heme well
understood, however, that these troops
will not be ejected from their quarters
during the time that ihcy must necessarily
remain there; leaving them in
their quarters, and the sick in hospitals
under the safeguard of the Tinted
States, until they caw be sent home'and
Whereas, notwithstanding the efforts
made by the Spanish authorities faithfully
and promptly to carry out the provisions
of the aforesaid convention,
there will still be a number of Spanish
troops in the Provinces of Matansas and
Santa Clara, whom it will have been impossible
to embark for their native country
before the 1st of January next:
Now, therefore, be it agreed between
the commissioners of the United States
and the commissioners of Spain, in joint
session assembled, possessing for this

with the agreement between both nations
wo have resolved by common accord
upon the following:
First. At 12 o'clock on the 1st day

at Cabanas will discharge twenty-one
cannon and immediately thereafter the
Spanish ting will be lowered from Mono
Castle and from all official buildings

Clipped, shall also salute both flags,
discharging the proper number of guns.
Second. Land and naval forces of' the

upon hearing the salutes shall proceed
to occupy the fortifications, edifices and
places in the city, which the American
authorities may desire to occupy, and
that at all military places a Spanish officer
will await the arrival of the American
forces and will deliver the place to
them, leaving it in their possession.
If, on that day and hour, there shall yet
be Spanish troops in Havana, they will
remain in their quarters, and will form
ranks during the time of the delivery
of the city, saluting American troops,
which pass there, presenting arms to
sound of march from musicians and
bands. The American troops will return
the salute in identical form.
Third. At the same hour of 12 o'clock

A dispatch from Spartanburg says
Joint Sevier, a native of Tennessee and
a relative of Col. Sevier, of Revolutionary
history was shot in the sloro of
John K. Stuekey Tuesday mooring he
tween Id and 11 o'clock. Sovior has
been working for Stuekey, keeping
books and collecting for It int. I Instated
after he was shot and carried into Rigby
's drag store that be went to Stuekey
for a settlement. While tlicy were renewing
the account Stuekey pulled out
a pistol and fired three times, hitting
him twice. People in adjoining
stores hardly noticed the reports of the
pistol. Sevier walked out of the store
and fell at the curbing. He was carried
into the drugstore, where he made the
report as to the shooting, and says there
was no cause for it. J. K. Stuekey
has heon a prominent grocer here for
years, lie was arrested at onco and
earned to j:nl to await the result of the
snooting. Sevier died as friends were
carrying hint home about two hours after
lie was shot. Stuckey will not state
his side of the ease for publication,
lie has employed Ihiucan tV Sanders as
attorneys. The coroner was holding an
inquest Tuesday over Calvin McDowell,
who dropped dead Monday at his home
at (foiling Springs, and "'ill not hold
the inquest over Sevier until Tuesday
nightor early Wednesday morning. The
homicide has been the talk of town.
Sevier leaves four ehildrcn, whose
mother died about three years ago. Mr.
Stuckey came here twenty years ago
from the eastern part of the State. In
addition to his store be has been con
ducting a farm also.
The Corn Opportunity
The Columbia State says we recur to
the eorn question with another reminder
to South Carolina farmers ol the
importance of planting this grain next
year not only for their own needs, but
for a surplus money crop:
Dunn's Kovicw said 011 Saturday:
The corn movement is the most astonishing
feature of the business the exports
for three weeks having been 7,187,IUHi
bushels, against (>,!12ti,8lM
bushels last year and the price has advanced
1 cent for the week. Should
such a demand for American corn continue
it would be of enormous value to
western farmers.
Tho New York Tribune, commenting
on the continuance of tho great
foreign demand, say?: Corn began the
half-year nearly ('? cents higher than in
1807, and has been most of the time
considerably higher now about Scents
?but the gain was not large enough to
nearly balance the loss on wheat. It is
growing more remarkable with every
month that such a quantity of corn is
taken for foreign consumption, at a
price considerable higher than was paid
last year, when the extraordinary movement
was regarded as natural only because
of the extreme scarcity of wheat,
which was also far above twice the
price of corn at our Atlantic ports. Hut
that nearly as much should be taken
with foreign wheat crops very much
larger, and wheat hero much cheaper,
while corn is dearer, appears to indicate
that the enforced use of the American
grain for food of men and animals during
the prolonged trials of last year in
Kuropcan countries proved so satisfactory
that corn is now and is likely to bo
extensively preferred to other food formerly
1180(1 Slinnlil ftiiu n I./...
- - ^ ???vi iiiin |'I uill UIIUU
coutinuo it will materially stimulate
corn production in this country, which
has been in a measure restricted by the
want of adequate demand except for
feeding and that demand in turn has
been limited by the unsettled price of
meats. It would mean a good many
millions to American farmers of such
a demand for *orn as has been seen this
year and last should become customary.
As wo pointed out recently, the corn
shortage predicted for next year will
ensure higher prices for a southern
surplus, no matter how much the western
crop may be increased, for the
south can put corn into the market long
before the west can do so; it can sell its
surplus before any western corn comes
in. Keen euro ill mind llirmurU )>?

winter and prepare for a record breaking
crop. It will pay, and pay cash.
A Sad Hunt.
A dispatch from Florence to The

Mr. T. (\ Willoughby of this city, accidentally
shot and killed his littlo
brother, Hueben, while hunting Tuesday

Pay All You Can.
One of the best cures for dull times
is to keep money on the move, bet all
the people who owe small bills they
can pay at any time, pay them now,
and let people who have the cash pay
for what they buy instead of charging
it. It is astonishing how the presence
of a sufficient quantity of circulating
medium livens up trade. Smith pays
Brown, and this enables Brown to pay
.Tones, and Jones in turn pays Williams
who passes it on to Johnson, and so it
goes on and on, getting one debt after
another and improving the general con
U11ion of business. It is astonishing
how many obligations in a community
can ho cancelled with a hundred dollars
kept actively in circulation and going
from one to another. Now is the time
to pay your small obligations and enable
as many people as possiblo to wipe out
the slate and start debt-free on New
Year's. The above from the Augusta
Chronicle we commend to tho consideration
of all.
Our Soldiers Fire.
A crowd of negroes entered a Spanish
cafe on the Callo Yille (las, corner
of Bomba street, Havana, Wednesday
evening and ordered drinks. They rejused
to pay for those, and in the dispute
which followed the proprietor of
tho cafe and his assistant were stabbed.
Scrgt. Adams, with 15 men of Company
M, Tenth regulars, hurried to
stop the row. On ontcring tho cafe,
they found no one in the room, but a
minute or two later they wcro tired
upon from a room in tho rear of the
cafe, one bullet cutting the coat of
Scrgt. Adams. The Americans then
broke into the rear apartment, firing as
they entered, and chased the negroes
out of the building and down the street
arresting four. Scrgt. Adams says that
none of the negroes were hit by his men
but according to othor reports one was
killed and six wounded.

PHIL1PINEB AND AMBBI0AK8

' Believed There is Trouble Ahead of
Our Forces.
Tr iHblft seems to bo brewing between
the American troops and the insurgents
E. in the Philippines. A dispatch was
received at the war department from
(Jen. Otis on Thursday informing the
s officials of the capture of Poilo by the
insurgents. It appears that the Amor?
iean forces who were dispatched there
arrived too late and that the insurgents
? bad added to tbe difficulty of the pro
' blems already presented by hoisting
their flag over the city, which theyhavc
been bcsciging for months. The news
i was contained in the following message

< His.
The evacuation by the Spaniards of
all the Philippine ports as reported by
(ion. Otis, although doubtless inspired
by a desire to secure their safety by
concentration, undoubtedly has done
much to complicate the problem already
presented to the war department of extending
the military jurisdiction of the
i Tinted States over the islands. It wi'l
now be necessary to expedite the execu
tion of the original plans and it may
be fully expected that within a week
important events will have happened in
the Philippines. It is presumed that
Oct). Otis will demand the surrender of
lloilu into his hands, and this demand
may at once raise the issue between the
insurgents and our government of possession
of the islands. The province of
lloilo is set down in the oll'teial directories
as having a population of 172,000,
and it is the second seaport in import
anec in the Philippine group. It is located
on a river navigable for vessels of
l.r? feet draught, so that very few of our i
gunboats would be available to assist
the troops in ease it should be necessary
to take forcible possession of the
city.
The Bagging (iueation Settled
The Charlotte Observer says a good
deal will probably lie beard and seen of
the Lowry cotton bale next season. It
has passed the experiments, stage and
all that has been promised for it has
been fulfilled. One of its advantages
about which but little, has heretofore
been said, is the big saving to the cotA
_ 1 . _ A - - *
ion planters in the matter of cotton
bagging. It seems to completely settle
that question. The Memphis Commereial
Appeal, of a recent date, says:
"The liowry system is gaining great fa
vor with the cotton industry. Some
three weeks ago Messrs. ('. C. Cowan &
Co., shipped 100 Cowry hales of cotton
to the lained Consdnlc Company's mill |
at Lonsdale, R. I. The scr. less sacks |
in which these bales were shipped wero c
returned by the mills to Mr. .Jerome
Hill Wednesday. All who examined
them were greatly sur| riscd.and agreeable
s6, to see that they had 11M been
injured, but were in line condition;and
v, ill be immediately used on another
shipment of cotton to the mills. The
mills sell these sacks baek to the producers
at half value. They can be used at ^
least six times. This would reduce the t
cost of covering for the cotton croj of a
the south from K(> cents per bale, which r
would amount to $9,000,000 on the ?
growing crop to, say, 10 cents per bale ,
of 500 pounds. This feature of the
Cowry bale is the one that will appeal
most strongly to the farmers, for they
have had to pay an immense tribute to
the bagging trust. The other desirable {
features of the Cowry bale have been \
mentioned in previous articles. The
fact that the press which puts up this
bale is as simple as the old box press, f
easily operated and can be put up at ^
any ginneries with the greatest case, is j
a very favorable clement for its general \
adoption by the farmers. The days of r
the old square bale will soon be nuni- ?
