Twenty-FOur Political Prisoners Shot-Re-
taIiatiOn observation-disclosures of the
Rebels.
HAVANA, Feb. 17.-One of the many
current rumors is that "a political
prisoners in the Cabanas were shot
Wednesday night. Gen. Weyler says
he knows nothing of it. 1t is also said
Gomez has notified Weyler that if Gu
bans in the cities are shot, he will re-
taliate by shooting Spaniards in the in
terror of the island.
Gomez and Maceo are both in Ha-
vana province. The latter moved east
after the Candelaria and San Cristobal
engagements, crossed the military line
souCh of Guanajay passed around Cuira
de Melena, and is near San Felipe.
Gomez has been n few miles east of
San Felipe for several days.
A detached column of rebels moved
north and entered Managua, IS miles
from Havana, where the volunteers
surrendered, joining the invaders with
arms and ammunition. Other parties
moved even to the outskirts of Ha-
vana, taking the horses of milkmen
in the suburban town of Juburbans,
and excha nging shots with the garri-
son in the block house at Jesus
Monte.
With Castillo's party of 1000 men in
the east, and Maceo's force from the
west, Gomez has 5000 men under arms
operating in Havana province. Skir-
mishes between the outposts are OF
daily occurrence. The Spanish officers
of minor grades generally magnify
these into battles, but since the arrival
of Weyler the official reports are much
nearer the truth than formerly.

1t was intended that the pardon
should be granted on January II, the
anniversary of the overthrow of the
monarchy, but fearingthat its receipt
might prove distasteful to the ex-
queen, on such date, President Dole's
return was awaited.

Swine Breeders Organize.

A convention of Poland-China swine
lucky was held in the parlors of the Max
well House, in Newbern, on February 5,
| 1896, to take initial steps for organizing
| PolaRd-China Record Association for
the South and Southwest. S. F. Welborn
was elected president and J. c. Sawyer
secretary. The proceedings throughout
were characterized by earnestness and en-
thusiasm, and after considerable discus
sion the convention got down to business,
with the following results:
1t was decided to incorporate under the
name and style of the Southwestern Po-
land-China Record Association. The OBJ
jects of this association were declared to
be, mot = promote the pecuniary inter-
ests of the individual stockholders by big
dividends on stock. but to foster and en-
courage the breeding of high-class Poland
China swine; to afford facilities for re-
cording pedigrees of the same, and to
expose the Frauds and impositions of un-
scrupulous dealers"
1t was the unanimous sentiment of the
convention that this association shall be
nothing unless honorable and straightfor-
ward in all its dealings, and in every re-
spect worthy of the high-toned breed
which they represent.
The capital stock was fixed at $4,000,
to be divided into 1000 shares of $40
each. and in order that the same may be
as widely distributed as possible through
out the territory covered by this associa-
ton, it was recommended that no stock
holder be allowed more than one or two
shares of stock.
A committee was appointed to draft
articles of incorporation, with instructions
to report at the next meeting, to be held
at the courthouse in the city of Dyers-
burg, Tenn, ON Wednesday, the 26th of
February, 1896, when and where the as
sociation will be formally organized. Also
a committee was appointed on bylaws,
with instructions to report at the same
time and place.
All persons interested in high-toned PO-
land-China swine are cordially invited to
attend said meeting. For further inform
alton in regard to this enterprise, address

Damages for BIackiistinE.

In the suit of Johnson against the Iron
Mountain Railway company for $4,000
damages for breach of contract and black
listing, the jury at Memphis last week re-
turned the following verdict:
I'VE, the jury, find the complainant en-
titled to damages as follows: For breach
of contract $50; for reports circulated,
$1,500; total, $1,535."
The important bearing of the verdict
is the Interpretation it gives to the rela-
lions between organized labor and it's en-
ployers. This suit was brought by loco
motive engineer who was discharged
without hearing, and is based upon an
agreement in effect between the railroad
company and the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers. AN analysis of the YER
dict would indicate that the contract was
not held of much account by the jury, but
that the practice of blacklisting is a good
basis for damages.

NANsgN's ACHIEVEMENT.

Opinions Differ as to the Probable Cor]
rectness of the Reported Discovery of
| the North Pole.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-In scientific
| circles in Washington the interest in
the report of DIR. Nansen's alleged
achievement would be much greater
if the news came in a more authentic
shape and with more definite particu-
lars. The two points from which con-
firmatory dispatches are alleged to
have been received, namely, Irkutsk,
in eastern Siberia, and Archangel, in
European Russia, being more than
$500 miles apart, in the opinion of
Lieut.. William ii. Schueteze, of the
navy, who is thoroughly familiar with
the Siberian coast, cast grave doubts
on the authenticity of the reports.
Mr.. Leon Hardsteigner, former as
sociate of DIR. Nansen, when the doctor
was curator of a museum in Norway,
and who is now one of the curators of
the United States National museum,
thinks there is nothing intrinsically
impossible in the story, and bears high
tribute to DIR. Nansen's indomitable
courage and felicity of resource.
Capt. Herndon, of the Smithsonian,
was member of the expedition of
Peary in 1881, which went as far north
as Point Barrow. subsequently, in
the whaling business, he spent FIVE
winters there
''The surprising thing to me, said
he, ''is that Nansen has been heard
from at this season of the year. The
only way l can account for Nansen's
return at this time of the year is the
possible fact that he has found land"
Gen. Greedy, the Arctic explorer,
gives little credence to the reported
confirmation of the success of DR.. Nan
sens attempt to reach the North Pole.
He laid particular stress, in speaking
of the report from Archangel, on the
fact that Nansen's theory of reaching
the pole was at variance with his al
legged arrival off the Siberian coast,
which the explorer did not contem-
plate in his arrangements for the ex-
peditiOn

Il have no doubt that some of the
natives on the northern coast of ST.
IBERIA saw Nansen or the Fran, but the
Russian merchants never got up SO
far, and the news would have to come
from the natives through several
mouths and could be turned entirely
around. No, say again, the thing is
