would be imprudent, it is
added, to give such offices

it is not astonishing that the

THEIR ONLY HOPE,
Business Men of Cuba in Fa.
vOr of Annexation.

West, Oct, 16th.-Tht
business element in Havana
and elsewhere seem to have
arrived at the conclusion thai
the Madrid government con
not end the war on the basis
of autonomy to Cuba as there
are not enough loyalists
among the autonomists to
hold public office. At least
that is the claim the con
seryative Spaniards make.
In addition, the latter ex'
press the belief that the
autonomists, even if they
were placed in power, would
not be able to preserve peace
and protect life and prop
,erty from the lawless ele-
ments,
In view of this condition
of affairs, a number of i'm
portant merchants and su-
gar planters of Spanish Or
igir, in conjunction with
several Cubans of promi-
ence, have been holding
secret meetings and CORES

ious parts of the island
with the object of ascertain
ing the views of the COM
mercial and planting COM
munity in Pinar del Rio,
Havana and Matanzas and
Santa Clara provinces, as to
the future for Cuba most

terests and those of the
island in general. 1t is ex-
pected that the majority of
the replies will be favorable
to annexation of Cuba to
the United States as the
washington government
alone. apparently, is able to
guarantee peace in Cuba
and the protection of life and
property.
AS soon as it was ascer-
tanned that the people ap-
pealed to are in favor of
annexation a committee will
be sent to the United States
with instructions to lay the
case Of Cuba clearly before
business men of prominence
in the United States and ask
the latter to unite with the
business men Of Cuba in a
petition to the Washington
government to suppress the
insurrection by force of arms

Douglae Ga, Feb S.-The infant son

of cholera iufautum on Friday last. It's
remains were laid to rest in the city GEM
etery on Saturday
Col j; NJ Denton's fine country man
sion at Denton was burned to the ground
on Thursday night, the inmates barely
escaping with their lives. The loss is
1ully $1,000, covered by only 81 500 of in
surance. This was one of the most beau
tltul and well arranged country resi-
dences in this section and was occupied
at the time by Col. Denton's agent and
family. The colonel was at his planta-
ton and sleeping in the house when it
burned. He cannot account for the origin
of the fire unless a firebug is wreaking
revenge for fancied wrongs as this is
the second fire there for him within the
last six months. Col. Denton is prose
cutting attorney for the city court and a
terror to law breakers, and it might
possibly be that in his official capacity
he has made enemies of that class.

DROUGHT NOW IN THE DOCK.
HIS TRIAL FOR CHEATING AND
sWINDLING UNDER WAY.

Tie Explains That the Certificates
Were Issued Under Orders of the
Court and That He Was Guilty OF
No Crime in Selling Them-He Adds
That II Was Not His Fault That the
Road Did Not Bring Enough to Pay
Them OF.
Atlantas Ca, Feb. Sc. A. Drought,
ex-receiver Of the Florida Midland rail-
road, was placed on trial in the city court
to-day, for cheating and swinding. The
case is that made against the eX-receiver
by Eady & Mayfeld, brokers. Of this city.
They claim that Drought swindled them
in selling a number of receivers ceri-
fcates to them. These certificates, it is
alleged. he represented had been 'authoriz-
ed by the court, stating that the road was
worth $4,000, and that it could not be sold
for less than $4,000 out of which the
certificates would be paid off first.
Eady & Mayheld, it appeared from the
evidence to-day gave Drought $500 in cash,
which they secured by hypothecating with
a Gainesville bank the certificates and
stock in a cemetery company, that had
not yet been organized. This stock, they
claimed. was worth 81 600, making 81, 400
the total amount Of their losses on his ac-
count. When the florida Midland was
sold il did not bring more than enough TO
pay the court costs and other expenses
prior 10 the receivers certificates, and
when this appeared the Atlanta brokers
had Drought arrested during a visit to
the city He has been in jail ever since,
not being able TO give bond Al the trial
to-day he brought forward numerous
books and copies of the court records to
show that the certificates were duly au-
thorized by the court Drought claims
that he placed the certificates the full
series of which amounted to $25, 000 in good
taith and that he could not help it that the
road did not bring enough TO pay them
off Most of the certificates We're placed
