IS ACTING INDISCREETLY.
TOO MUCH OSCULATION INDULGED*
SMMtarjr Long JMtUh "Hcrrlmao Her*"
That Ha la In Daagtr of Loelng

The Atlanta Jonrnal's special correspondent
at Washipgton wires his
paper as follows:
Satan fell from heaven no more
rapidly tban Lieutenant Hobson has
'alien in the esteem of publio offioials
ind his fellow officers here. Feeling
toward the "hero of the Merrimao" I
taa undergone a oou|MRrYfVMI^ I

esentment felt toward him among Use *
outhern contingent here is mingled

"Thi modesty of pur heroes have *
egLpnr pride. The whole navy con- P
mned that first kiss up there in "
?g Island. He should never have ?'
No naval officer will ever he quoted
criticism of another officer. The .
irit do corps prohibits it, but to get tl(
j estimation of Hobson one has only c."
enter the doors of the Army aud *u
vy club. Not one officer palliates
> offense. The most intimate friend
has in the service has no excuse to
?r for him. The men who feel it S,<
st deeply, however, are the southern
mbers of congress.
'Oh, the pity of it!" is thoir cry, lie
\ "pity 'tis true." nd
' have talked to many democrats, wl
t not one will say a word of criti- fig
m for publication. They will tell sei
I privately that they feel a personal o\t
ury has b*en done them. There is of
dly one who has not in some pub- Re
utterance hold the "Hero of the tei

y is a disappointment they do not eqi
nt to discuss. th?
Speaker Reed's remark when asked cm
to his opinion on the matter, said: am
;TmoHt is a salt bath."'' AW ??
speaker's laconic way of sayiug he cei
oo fresh.
t is said here that after the hausas gu
y reception that Secretary Long on
ed him to act with more discretion; an
,t he was imperiling his reputation, an
e secretary has been urged to recall m<
II and administer a rebuke, but the se
retarv felt that this would be an du
iggeration of the prerogative given yn
n, and I am told, though Mr. Long
II not discuss it, that he took the ex
utler course of appealing to his yc
ide. 28
His fellow officers say that it is due re
Long's telegram that there was no 11
>etition of the kissing scenes in fa
mver Tuesday uight. a<
His conduct is inexplicable to some, ic
light of past events. It has come ti
my knowledge, and I can vouch for ni
e truth of it, that Hobson refused an oi
for of fifty thousand dollars to go on h
limited lecturing tour, giving as his p
ason for so doing that to turn his
ed into money would bo to belittle
It will be bard to strike a trial
ilance of his character, both sides of s.

Thomas ami William Brantley, 1
rothers, were shot and instantly '
illed Saturday night at Enoudale,
liss., a small town on the Mobile ami 1
?hio road, by Kugene Dennis, an 18 '
ear-old boy. '
The brothers, accompanied by their '
ftther, attempted to enter the store of

tennis's mother seized the gun of the

the conditions attending and resulting

in dealing with Spain, Senator

"Fa** no evidence of such senti- 1
a^akuk . " "
I wen* fxisung outside of France, and
in Franflp that sentiment appeared to
be confined to the press, which does
not reflect the sentiment of the nation
nor the people generally."
"Do yon think there will be an early
reeflbrgUqn of oordial relations between
Spain and the United States?"
"I think that very soon after the
ratittaAion of the peace treaty, and the
restorjhton of diplotaatie relations

commercial treaties and a treaty

such other matters directed toward the

DEWEY AT THE HEAD.
inlln Hero lit Now Senior Rear Admiral
<'f Our Navy. I /*
Rear Admiral George Dewey, the i
ro of Manila, is now the senior rear I
miral of the United States navy, I
lich means that he is the head of the i
hting forces of Uncle Sam on the
?. This change has come about
ing to the retirement Christmas day
Rear Admiral Francis M. Bunce.
lar Admiral Bunce's service has exided
over a period of more than 4G
iirs, in which time he has seen much
ive duty and won for himself an enible
reputation. His war record is 9=1
nal to that of any of the men now in l\l
* navy. He entered the navy as a
let midshipman on May 28, 1852,
1 was promoted through the various
iiV'til **e reached that of rear
veil ttln February G, 1898. He was
ished services r e n <1 er e&eru?.re"
il war. He was the first command- tl
t of the ill fated battleship Maine
d also of the largest squadron of
idern American warships ever asmbled
in times of pence. His last
ity was the command of the navy y(
rd at Brooklyn. ^
Rear Admiral Dewey's services have
tended over a period of forty-four
ars. He entered the navy September ^
I, 1854, and was awarded the rank of
ar admiral by a vote of congress May
, 1898, for services rendered in the y
r east. If congress makes him an g
lmiral and increases his time of serve
ton years, he will, with the excepon
of Admiral Tarter, have served
iore time on the active list than any g
tlier officer. With the increased time .
is naval career will extend over a
eriod of more than fifty-five years. e
PLOT DISCOVERED IN TAIMS.

Been tliieartlieil By I'ollce.
The Paris correspondent of The
jondon Daily Chronicle says:
"It is asserted that the French
>olice havo seized several bundles of
-n ?.. ...lwiun onntonts nroVB that a
oi ioi nt ** uv?v M _
nilitary plot is in thorough working
irder."
The Paris correspondent of Tho
iVeekly Sun, of London, telegraphed
liis paper on Sunday that he had
knowledge of a military coup planned
for Wednesday, the 2hth lilt., though
lie gave 110 details of the plot.
The Paris correspondent of The
Sunday Special, of London, hinted ai
similar knowledge, adding tliet the
court of cessation would give judgment
against Dreyfus on Thursday,
yielding to the government's plea of
state necessity.
