was received posse of whites went in search
OF the negroes. Hawks, who started the diff

There came near being O general fight be-

he knew where Calvert City He said that
he did, but that it was not very healthy there
for negroes. This enraged them and they both
assailed him with clubs and seriously hurt

front with race troubles. Last night Ollie
Overstreet, a brother Of Otie Overstreet. a
prominent grocer Of Paducah was attacked
by two negroes near his home. five miles

matte relations could exist between
these rebels and the government of
the United States.
If this country interferes by arms
in that contest, 1t must be by assisting
the rebels in Cuba to displace the
Spanish government and to set up an
other, and this would be declaration
Of war against Spain, country with
which we are and always have been
at peace and from which we have
received no injury and no provocation.
1t would be a gross and utterly un-
justiiable violation of international
law, which no country can afford to
perpetrate in the eyes of the world. 1t
would in my judgment be fatal to that
restoration of business prosperity which
is now our most vital necessity"
