Death of Mrs. Gov. Fletcher.

We regret to learn of the death of the es-
Unable aud esteemed wife Of Ex-Governor
Ryland Fletcher, which occurred at the
family residence, in Proctorsvile, on Fri.
day morning. Mrs. Fletcher was lady
whose many virtues and social qualities
commended her to large circle of friends.
All who have enjoyed the hospitality Of
her home have marked the dignity and
grace with which it was dispensed, and the
old-timo courtesy which was rendered to
all her guests. The death Of the wife of
bis youth who has walked so faithfully
and kindly by his side for half century or
more, will be a severe blow to the venera-
bic ex-governor, who will miss the guard
ianship of the faithful and beloved wife.
We tender our sympathy to Governor
Fletcher and family in this hour of their
overwhelming sorrow, and, weknow, thou
sands in the state he has honored join with
us in this expression of sorrow in the death
Of G dutiful wife, kind mother, and
Christian woman, who has made life
agreeable to all who came within her soci-
ETY. and acquaintance.

Taxing Foreigners in Cuba.

HAVANA, May -.
A decree has been issued declaring that
the claims made by foreigners residing in
the island and by some of their consuls to
exemption from extraordinary contrbu-
tons, are founded in error. All foreigners
under the protection of the government
must pay like Spanish subjects, taxes levied
in accordance with articles SO and "a of
the act relating to strangers, passed by the
cortes in 1870. The contributions imposed
in the island cannot be said to be for war.
The pursuit and punishment of incendiaries
principally negroes who have no army in
our territory, is not war. The treaties be-
tween Spain and other countries, exempt
foreign residents from confscations of their
vessels, the forced occupations of landed
property, and personal military duty, but
not from taxation and contributions, rem
dered necessary for the protection of prop
erty of all against incendiaries and plum
derers. Therefore all municipalities must
proceed against foreigners who refuse to
pay said taxes. This desree is understood
to be principally directed against the Ger
mans who claim exemption under the treaty
between Germany and Spain.

The Continental hotel in the heart of the

Tuesday night they registered over 900,

from the gates, which they had gained by

tortion of the spectators in fifty cent
notes. On Wednesday stalwsrt country
man offered 81 bill for himself and wife

no effect but to irritate the gate-keeper.
Then he roared in voice of thunder
"Take the money aud let us in or I'll knock
you down" The affrighted official broke
the rule and allowed the couple to pass in.
