A Negro Prophetess of Evil.

JACKSON, Miss, April pa great commo-
ton is being produced among the negroes by
the appearance of a prophecies who foretells
great disasters soon to be realized in the way
of cyclones, earthquakes and other frightful
celestial and terrestrial disturbances. She
claims that the recent storm in Mississippi is
but forerunner of these catastrophes, and
she calls on the people everywhere to repent
of their sins. Her name is Martha Hughes,
and she is from Oxford, this State, and is
making her way through the country, preach
ing as she goes. She is very black negress.

some 200 pounds. She carries long staff,
and always takes up collection. She has
been denied the use of the churches of the
colored denominations and breaches i'll the
streets and public squares, and along the
roads, where she can obtain hearers. The
negroes are much excited over her wild and
positive predictions, and crowds of them

The Mexican Minister Addresses His Gov
ernment on the Matter.
WASHINGTON, April 29.-Senor Romero
Mexican minister, said to an Associated
Press reporter tonight that he has already
placed himself in telegraphic communica-
with his government with reference to the
representations made to him by Secretary
Frelinghuysen on the subject of obtaining
consent for United States troops to cross the
Mexican border in pursuit of raiding In
dians AS teIegraphing was, however, an
unsatisfactory method of communication
upon such subjects, he proposed,
he said, to forward an official
letter by mail. At present he
thought it premature to hazard an opinion
as to the view which the Mexican Senate
would take of the matter, but he was certain
they would agree to anything reasonable.
He said he did not believe there would be
time to accomplish anything in relation TO
this particular case at the present session of
the Senate which would expire in the latter
part of May, as his letter would not reach
Mexico for two or three weeks, and it would
be some time after that before the subject
would be laid before the Senate officially.

The judge had retreated to his own private
room behind the bench directly at the con-
clusion of his charge. The jury went out at
eleven minutes past three, and then came a
long and weary time of expectation. The
crown counsel were sitting anxiously wait

and still the jurors came not. Could
they have disagreed? Was there q
belief in Miss Meaher's complete

Pork Prohibition.
BERLIN, April 2S.-The Boerson Courier
publishes report of an interview with Mr.
Sargent, American minister, in which the
latter denied that he wrote any article for
the New York Zeitung relative to Germany's
action OH the subject of the importation of
American pork, or was cognizant of the pub
lication of such an article. Sargent said he
sent dispatch on the subject to his govern
ment, which was properly published by the
State Department, together with other re-
ports of American ministers and consuls, and
that it was then copied by various journals
including even papers in Berlin. State
ments in his dispatch which were made the
particular object of attack by the North Ger
man Gazette were in fact quotations from a
German paper, and were duly credited to it
by him. Sargent further declared there
was no truth in the statement that he had
said the prohibition of the importation of
American pork was an illegal measure, and
was carried despite the opposition of the
Reichstag.
