Tuesday afternoon next, at 4 o'clock
the committee of fifty on the proposed
centennial celebration will hold, a
meeting at the city hall, at which
time the finance committee will pre
sent a report, and this will probably
decide whether or not the big '"tder
taking will be attempted at Pensacola.-''
Chairman R. W, Goodhart yester
day announced that the financial re
port is ready, and thought that a
meeting on Tuesday next would be
agreeable to every member of the
centennial body. It was at first de
. sired and requested that the meeting
be held on Monday night, but the or
ganization of the charter board, the
meeting of the city commissioners,
the reorganization of the commission
ers, and other matters are expected
to occupy some time, and the council
chamber, where the meeting will take
place, is hardly available for that
day, hence it was decided to hold it
on the following night.
All members are very earnestly
urged to be present. The financial
report will probably give an idea as
to the expense incident to the holding
of the exposition, and when an idea
along this line is given it will then
be determined what steps will next
be taken, and for that reason it is
especially requested that every mem
ber of the committee be present.

The Rev. Dr. A. S. Moffett has
kindly given to Th Journal for pub
lication a most interesting letter just
received by him from Kiangyin, Chi
na. The letter was written by his
son, Dr. Lacey L Moffett, well known
in Pensacola. where he visited his
father several yeajs ago. Dr. Mof
fett has. besides this son stationed
at Kiangyin, other relatives in mis
fiion work in China, whom he visited
with a party from Pensacola several
years ago. His daughter, Miss Carrie
Lena Moffett, who has spent the past
year or more with her father and
other relatives, will leave shortly for
the mission field in China. Mrs. R.
J. McMullen is at Hanchow, and Mrs.
J. C Crenshaw at Chinkiang. Both
are daughters of Dr. Moffett.
The letter foil own:
The Kiangyin forts are again flying
the red flag of loytJty to the govern
ment this morning. The short regime
of the independents ended in disaster.
For ten days they have ruled the
country to the dingust of the sub
stantial citizens, and to their own
financial advantage. After the attack
on Wusih last Sunday night bodies of
the defeated troops straggled back to
Kiangyin for two days. Most of them
were thoroughly dispirited, and many
voluntarily surrendered to their for
mer commander General Fong, who
was in charge of the force of about
600 loyal troops with whom he left
Kiangyin when the independence was
declared. On Monday a body of about
ten professional agitators (including
one Japanese), arrived at the forts
from Shanghai, and from that time
all discipline was demoralized. The
leading citizens of the city of Kian
gyin made every ffcrot to secure a
surrender of the forts without fight
ing with General Fong's troops.
A deputation went out to his camp
and secured from him most liberal
terms, including full pardon and re
instatement for all officers and men
and payment for every gun surren
dered. After , somo parley the inde
pendent leaders agreed to these term,
and at midnight Tuesday a letter in
dorsed with the magistrate's seal,
was sent out to General Fong's camp,
offering to surrender next morning at
10 o'clock. Before daylight, however,
the agitators had persuaded the sol
diers to go back on their promise,
they drove the independent leader,
Siao, out of carr p, imprisoned the
cmei or tne artillerymen who re
fused to retract his promise to sur-

render, and took matters in their own
hands. Next morning they sent a
demand to the city for $100,000,
threatening to turn the guns of the
fort on the city if it was not prompt
ly paid. They would probably have
done so had not the artillerymen ad
hered firmly to their refusal to han
dle the guns.
About noon General Fong advanced
from the west along the bank of the
Yangtse river to attack the independ
ents, entrenched in the forts. When
his force appeared the artillerymen
were forced by threats against their
lives to man the guns. The battle
was opened by two shots from the
big twelve-inch guns on the forts,
after which there was a lull of about
half an hour before the fighting began
in earnest. The attacking force had
only rifles and small field guns, but
they advanced with such caution,
making use of cover, that the heavy
fort, guns could be used with little
effect. In all ten shots were fired
from the twelve-inch guns, none of
which did any serious damage. It is
commonly said that the artillerymen,
forced to fight against their will, pur
posely aimed the guns high. One such
shell, fired over the heads of a small
body of men who slipped around the
southern side of the city, and ad
vanced along the east wall, burst dan
gerously near the Girls' School of the
Presbyterian mission, and another, on
about the same line, passed over well
up m the air. For about two hours
the fighting was quite fierce. At 4
p. m. the red flag was run- up ver
the west fort, and by 5 p. m. the whole
forts had been taken. The main body
of the independents attempted to es
cape in two large junks across the
Yangtse river, one of which was sunk
by shot from a Chinese cruiser,
drowning its occupants. A small
body of less than a hundred escaped
to the east overland, robbing and
shooting the country people as they
went.
Gen. Fong had about 60C soldiers,
of whom forty were killed in the as
sault. The number of the independ
ents on the forts is variously esti
mated at from two to five hundred.
When asked what had become of the
killed and wounded of the independ
ents, a soldier replied that they had
been given "private burial" together
in the Yangtse!

people were present, including the
children of the Sunday School classes.
The entire day was spent under

all the children and many of the

the first salt bath of the season, in
the quiet wraters of the upper bayou.
It was decided to make the joint

for other churches to join in and
make the occasion a general outdoor
festival for all denominations.

his side of the story
One sailor, who gave his name as
Krause, was found early yesterday
and locked up, charged with resisting

eral witnesses were found yesterday,
who alleged that this man was one
of several who struck the policeman.

and said he recognized him as one of
the assailants. Two other sailors are
in the case, but are simply charged
with disorderly conduct.
Arrangements for the care of hus

but it would seem to be a much sim

In expending money raised by the
sale of highway bonds, highway com
missioners should distinguish car
fully between the permanent and the
perishable features of the road.
Foundations, drainage structures,
alignment and grades are in general
fairly permanent features which
should be looked upon In the light of
an Investment. If these features do
not comply with a certain standard.
It will be poor economy to epend mon
ey on transitory improvements such
as hard (Surfaces, which must, at con
siderable expense, be renewed from
year to year. In the same way, it Is
manifestly poor policy to bttlld an ex
pensive surface on defective grades
with poor alignments and short-lived
(drainage features.
Even when much of the money ex
pended upon a highway has gone Into
the permanent features, there Is still
danger that the cost of repairs and
maintenance will be overlooked, or at
least Blighted, in the calculations of
of about 68 per cent of the total cert
of a well-built macadam road may be
considered as spent for permanent fea
tures, and with bituminous macadam
roads, about 56 per cent. This method
of estimating cannot be applied to any
gravel or natural soli road in which
no part of the surfacing can advanta
geously be considered permanent, for
under most systems of maintenance it
steadily deteriorates.
Roads built with surfaces entirely
of concrete, or with brick pavements
resting on a concrete founJation, are
sometimes regarded as permanent, but
this is hardly safe. It Is not yet defi
nitely known how long tho beat con
crete surface will last The best vitri
fied brick surfaces may last a number
of years, but even with thsm repairs
wfll be required.
It should be borne tn micd by those
charged with the expenditure of high
way funds that the Initial cost of a
road is never the final oni; that no
surface is permanent, and tiat repairs

H. Olson and L. H. Larson, Norweg
ian seamen from the Untish steam
ship Lorca, were arrested yesterday
by United States Denpty Marshal C.
P. McMillan and placed in the county
jail, charged with desertion, and will
be held until the vessel is cleared.
The case was reported to the fed
eral authorities here several days ago,
and a thorough search wai, made for
; them. Olson was found on the streets
of Pensacola in an intoxicated condi
tion, while aLrsen was found on tho
fishing smack "Yakima," atJPalafox
wharf, prepared to ship, as a member
of the crew.
To escape arrest Larsen attempted
to jump from the boat, with an ap
parent Intention of taking his life,
as he stated that he would rather be
dead than a jail bird. Deputy Mar
shal McMillan restrained him and
with much effort, finally brought the
man ashore.

the road builders. When roads are
built with borrowed money It Is, of
course, especially Important to avoid
this error. On the other hand, how
ever. It Is not necessary to regard the
total cost of surfacing a road as a
temporary Improvement. Much of the
surfacing may be classed as a perma
nent investment, for It is becoming
more and more common to have sur
faces built in two courses, the lower
of which is as much a permanent fea
ture of construction as tho grading
itself. This Is particularly true of
those types of toad that are ballt with
concrete foundations for bituminous
Imacadam, brick or asphalt surfaces,
at is probably conservative to regard
40 per cent of the first-construction
(cost - of - macadam or . more enduring
pavements as a permanent investment,
tit Is seldom nowadays that hard roads
jare permitted to wear into the founda
tion course of the surfacing.
J Where proper maintenance Is as
sured it is safe to say that an average
and maintenance charges will always
be necessary. On the other band,
many features of a good road are to
be regarded as permanent investments.
When roads are built with borrowed
money, the distinction between the
permanent and the temporary Improve
ment must be carefully observed Id
order that the county may have some
thing In exchange whea the tlm
comes to repay the loan. i
