1.-The intense interest that has surrounded
everything connected with the st. Louis
convention for the past few days has natur-
ally caused the dispatches from Cuba In
that time to be overlooked said he.
'.It might now be observed, though, that
there has been remarkable coincidence in
the chara cter Of the rews from the island
by way OF Havana and that by way OF
Tampa. Fla. Reports from Havana indicat-
ing Spanish victory are Immediately met
by ne ws from Tampa telling of the conquests
Of fthe insurgents. The advices from Havana
now appear to have been changed This Is
doubtie SIS to relieve the monotony. They tell
of dissentions among the LEADERS Of the in
surgents, aud say that many cr the chiefs
have either gone or are going over TO the
Spanish side. On the ether hand wordcomes
almost simultaneously through Tampa that
there is mutiny in Spanish ranks and th:t
there is the p, ssibility of the whole army
going to pieces.

man of one of the largest cotton mills in
Salem, Mass.
Il do not believe that will be the case,
however. The fact that there wilt al
always be iiisurInountable reasons why
cotton mills In the South will not prove
a success cannot lie disguised. The chief
reason is that during the larger part OF
the season the interiors Of the mills are
so heated that it is almost impossible for
white operatives to be able to stand il.
The colored operatives can endure the heat
very well, but experience has shown that
they do not make expert and profitable
employees in that business. / think 1t

favor with the academicans. Zola's
vindication of the Jews has caused NJ.
