 States Attorney John L. Hunter has appointed General Eugene s. Boss of Willimantic as his agent to examine the books of the Natchaug Silk Company in accordance with the order of the superior
 court, for the purpose of ascertaining whether there were any criminal acts by the officers or employees of the company. General Boss, although not prepared to make any disclosure, has informed MT. Hunter that it will require about three weeks to complete the work General Boss is eminently fitted for the work, as he is probably more thoroughly acquaint- ed with mill bookkeeping and accounts than any man in Connecticut. MT. Hunter says that he proposes to trace the wreck ing of the First National Bank to it's source if it is possible, and nothing short of that will satisfy the public or the stock holders.
 The America's cup is safe this year, but it is to be very much regretted that the race could not have been finished in more satisfactory manner. Lord Dunra- vens withdrawing the Valkyrie in last Thursdays race after she had crossed the line, on account of the crowding of the excursion boats, was not without some cause. But, as both boats would be sub- ject to the same trouble, and great deal more room had been left than at either of the other two races, it would have been much more spOrtsmanlike if Lord Dun raven had finished the race. The cup committee and others have tried to ar range for series of races at some other | place, where there would be less interfer- | ence, but Lord Dunraven has declined | and the Valkyrie is being stripped for her return voyage across the Atlantic.

 The exhibition opened at Atlanta on Wednesday promises to be one of the most important industrial events in the history of the south. Congress has ap- Proprfated $250,O00 for a government building and exhibit, while the legisla- lures and leading commercial bodies of all | the southern states, as we'll as many of | those in the north, have arranged for ex- tensive representation. More remarka- l ble even than the local and national inter- | est in the exposition is the attention that | it has attracted in foreign countries. Not | only are many of the Central and South | American republics making large and | varied show, but also a number of the l chief countries of Europe, such as France, | Russia, England and Germany, which, | having spent large sums in connection | with their display at the Chicago worlds 1 fair, might reasonably have been expected | to remain away from the Atlanta exhibi- | tion.

 The latest news from Cuba is that Spain is arranging for war of extermination for the Cuban insurgents This ferocious and barbarous course is to be carried out if pOssible-when cooler weather sets in for the islands. Senor Canovos del Castillo, at Madrid, acting for the govern ment of Spain, publishes his manifesto. The plan is to uproot the rebellion, root and branch, and carry the war to actual extermination or surrender. The fate of those who surrender is to be death or de- portation The entire island is to be sur rounded with two circles of war-ships, an outer and an inner circle, to make it ab solutely impossible for vessels laden with men or ammunition to land Thus cut of from supplies, the rebels, says Castillo, can be cut down in detail, and extermina- ted. The plan is, to make the destruction so complete that Cuba will never again be the seat of an insurrection.
