Diaz's Startling Story.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, May 2.-rhe
Rev. Alberto Diaz, Southern Baptist
missionary, expelled from Cuba by
Weyler, in a long interview tells ap.
palling stories of atrocities being COM
mitted by Spaniards. In the last
two weeks in the rural districts of San
Miguel, Del Pardon and Minas Mr..
Dlaz says Col. Fonderville has had
more than one hundred persons butch
cred and then reported them to the
outside world as having been killed
in battle. Among those killed were
children IL and IA years of age. The
victims were compelled to dig their
own graves before being shot. As the
steamer was leaving Havana Mr.. Diaz
says word was brought on hoard that
twenty seven more peaceable citizens
had been butchered by Col. Fonder-
ville's troops near Havana. Col. Fon-
derville is one of Weyler's favorites
and is acting under the Captain Gen.
erals orders.

But they could not send my telegram.
Every body was watched by the police.
So when Dr. Porter came to see me
after 1 was allowed to communicate
with my friends, l gave him the tele-
gram that finally came. When Broth
er Porter went to the telegraph office
with the message, however, they would
not send it, because the ope rator said
the Cincinnati or the Iowa would be
down there in no time to fight 1t Out
for me, DR.. Porter was followed, the
police trying to get the telegram. ne
happened to come up with Brother
Bueno, the missionary at San Miguel,
who was fleeing in mis- carriage from
the country, on account O. Persecu-
ton. and gave him the message to be
sent from Key West. When the Mas
cote was getting ready to sail Broth.
er Porter went down to the DOCK, ana
the police thinking that he was trying
to oct the message on board arrested
him. But Brother Bleno had it safely

at the police and told them so: and in
two hours 1 was released and told to
leave the island by the next steamer.

DR.. Diaz said that persecution be-
cause he was an American citizen Was
the cause of his true arrest. A few
weeks before some one placed two dy-
Mantle bombs in the lobby of his
church. They exploded during Ser
vices and shattered the glass in the
building, but no one was hurt.
During his confinement he was sum-
moned before military court, but re-
fused to answer the questions put to
him because he declared that he was
entitled to cival trial. He had com.
municated with the consul general
and seen him, and the consul being
apprized of the condition. the military
court had to dismiss him. From the
written questions put to him the court
suspected that he had been writing let
lers to the insurgent chiefs and that
he was associated with Alberto Fer
nanGo, a rebel leader. DR.. Diaz,
however, declared that he did not
know Fernando, and had nothing to
do with the insurgeuts.-Augusta

street car coming in from the races
shortly after E o'clock this evening.
One person was killed and one badly
shot and many narrowly escaped {:
Henry Jones, a negro, was arrested
by private policeman, Charles Failes,
for gambling. Failes handcutfed the
negro to his own wrist and boarded a
trolley train of three cars, bound in.
There were 225 people OH the three
cars. Without warning, the negro
drew a revolver and began firing at
Failes. Failes foolishly returned the
tire, the fusilads creating a panic in
the cars, which were promptly stopped.
Failes and Jones wera removed to the
city hospital, where the negro died
tonight. Four bullets pierced the
dress of Mrs. James B. Camp, wife OF

annual meeting for his resignation.
An amendment to the foregoing motion decn-
ing TO accept the resignation and requesting DR..
Stimson to withdraw IT, was proposed by Edw ara
+. Browning. In doing he said that In the last
years Of DR., Taylors ministry there was beginning
to be decline in the church. He had heard MOTH
Ing against Dr. Stimson except that he was not
as good a preacher as DR.. Taylor While that
might be true, he believed that In every other re-
spect the pastor was thoroughly able to fill DR..
Taylor's place. II they sent Dr. Stimson away I'M
der such circumstances as they proposed, Nv.
Browning said they would have some difficulty Ia
getting another irst-class man to accept call to
the church.
b. X Wiley seconded the amendment
After J II. Washburn and DR. II. G. Houghton
had addressed the meeting In favor Of accepting
the resignation. Dr. Thomson at some length de-
Tended tho committee and said that except on two

ton of the Church Committee and an alteration in
the method of church collection they had never
opposed DR.. St.mson.
Cornelius " Bliss also entered into an explana-

versy in which he said he had no desire at the out
set 10 be involved.
After several other actresses had been made bal

was lost by l40 votes to 100. Dr. Stimsons resigna-
ton was then accepted without opposition.
II was decided that DR.. Stimson should receive a
