eminating from him. is a mastery state
paper. He leaves nothing untouched
that is Of the utmost Importance to the

WITH the large business already ex-
isting with this country, any disturb
ance IN Cuba entails necessarily heavy
loss for the business community. The
prolongation of the war must he UNI
avoidably as disastrous to the Ameri-
can as to the Cuban interests. Hence,
the American people are as much di-
rectly interested in the restoration of
peace to Cuba as Spain herself.
Outsiders have nothing to gain with
fostering and encouraging the present
disturbance on the Island. -Itis illusory
to think there is even the remotest
possibility for the present insurreetion
to succeed. Spain has all the elements
to quell it. 1t is her right and her duty

 by q ErUthers in-Law of One of His
 Victims
 NArcurz. Miss. June 15.-At Natehez Island plantation, a few miles below this city, yesterday morning, k. ". Dawson, shanty boat fsher- man and aIl-round tough character, shot and killed Frank Macl<lir, mana ger of the plantation, and 9 negro woman, name not yet learned, and seriously wounded a negro boy.
 Dawson has gained much notoriety on account of his connection with a coal-blacl1 female deuzen of "Natchez Under the Hill" The negress left him and went to work on the plantation, whereupon Dawson moved his boat to the island and opened q negro gam bling house, and bee ame such nuis- ance that Macxlin ordered him away. He refused to go, and in the alterca- tion that followed Dawson used Win chester and killed Macltlin and the woman almost instantly, wounded the boy and made his escape, carrying the rifle.
 A tug brought the bodies to Natchez and ceroHer's inquest was held.
 later report from the island states that the wounded boy had died and that William Gonti, brother-in-law of Macislin, had come upon Dawson and before the latter could use his Win chester, shot him dead.

Special Correspondence of the United Press
 BARBApoEs, June 3.-Intelligence has just been received here from Anti qua, Barduba and St. Kitts of several shocks of earthquake having been ex- perenced in those islands from the goth to the 24th nit
 At Barduba the seismic disturbances were unusually severe, shock after shock following in rapid succession, and the earth heaving as perceptibly as a wave upon the ocean. On the goth ultimo no fewer than eight sever, shocks-each lasting for several sec onds-were experienced Consider able damage was done to the school house and church, the Great house and many dwellings and walls throughout the island.
 At Antigua the disturbance was also severely felt, the shocks being accom- painted by loud, rumbling sounds, and houses and other buildings were shaken to their foundations, earthen- ware and furniture rattling with such distinetness as to leave no room for doubt as to the cause.
 At St Kitts a like state of affairs was experienced, though the shocks were less in number and severity.
