TO UPHOLD THE DIGNITY
OF THE COUNTRY.
From the dispatches it appears
that President McKinley has de
cided to uphold the dignity of the
country. The position taken by
the Spaniards in the Maine disas
ter investigation has brought him
out upon his metal. The Spanish
insisted that they be allowed to
conduct the investigation jointly
with the United States, but the
jrresiueni uas uecimeu. u a con
ference with Secretary Long it
was decided to make the investi
gation independent of Spanish au
thorities. This is the proper
thing to do. To have stood by
and let the Spaniards direct the
investigation would have shown
the United States to have been a
weakling, not able to hold its own
among the nations of the world.
It would, indeed, have been pue
rile in the extreme. The United

enough to demand almost anything
of any country and to have been
'awed and dictated to by a little
country j like Spain would have
been a disgrace to civilization.

is about all that will give general
satisfaction. It looks something
like it will . nnaiiy result in
declaration to that effect.
Gratifying evidence of the
fraterml feeling between religious
bodies i .nd followers of the sever
alrelig ons in this city, says' the
Savannah News, have come into
evidence since ihe Cathedral tire.
Following the disaster, a Protest

gregation the use of its

of subscribers to the iund for the
rebuilding of the burned Cathedral
appear the names of Protestants
and Jews sandwiched with thoseof

spirit is one of the most gratifying
signs oi the times. ;

The citizens can hardly be told

AWFUX: CB.IHE OF NEGROES.

Girl dn Fire. -
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 19. A let
ter has been received bv Governor
Atkinson from Sheriff Patterson,
of Decatur county, giving, the
bare facts regarding the horrible
Uefforts of three unkriowh negroes
one day last week" to burn to death
the daughter of Janies Alday, a
prominent citizen of a district re
mote from .telegraphic facilities
in Decatur county.
From all accounts it appears the
girl,- who is about sixteen years of
age,, had occasion to go to a spring
about 200 yards from her father's
- , :' ... V-.,.. . -
nouse, ana on returning tnrougn
a dense thicket she was seized up
on by j three negroes.; whom she
had never seen before, -t and when
they discovered that she was the
. i -. k-- .
daughter of Alday two of them
firmly j held her while the third ap
plied matches to the skirts xf her
clothing. She was detained until
the flames were licking her face
and , had eaten into her under
garments, and then released and
ordered her to fly for her life.
She ran screaming to her fath
er's door, where she arrived with
not a shred of clothing on her
body and -literally one huge blis
ter. Immediate attention was
given her and every effort made to'
save her life, but the latest re
ports from the place indicate that
her death was hourly expected.
The Sheriff is making every, ef
fort to discover the fiends. The
Governor is investigating the af
fair, and it is very probable a
large reward will be 'offered for
the apprehension of - the three
men.
