cause it had no material to work on
Thesentire Urbana military company fled

them have citizens clothes. They left

Mayor Gamer publicly declared to day
that while he could not uphold mob vio-

citizens. He says Mitchell ought to have
been hanged two days ago.

lynching that all sections are alike in

1t Is almost impossible to prevent sum-

oIIicers to protect the prisoner, but is I'M
able to state whether necessity existed
for firing into the crowd.

Ever Before.

Washington, June 5.-Captain w. D..
Smith, of the Cuban army, spent consid-
elable time again to-day with the Senate
committee on foreign relations. In a
brief Interview with reporter of the
Associated Press, he said:
"The Cuban army is now in better con-
dition to resist the Spaniards and to main

been since the beginning of the war

termined to hold out until their efforts

diers are rapidly procuring arms, and
every day serves to put them on better
footing in this respect. Our troops--enjoy
vast advantage over the Spaniards, in
that they are not injuriously affected by
the climate. l may say that have not
seen case of yellow fever or small pox
among the Cuban soldiers since I have
been on the island, aud that Il have not
been sick day myself Furthermore,
we have no difficulty in feeding our
troops In the portion of the country in
which the Cuban troops are in control,
the farmers are protected, and we draw
our supplies from this source Our com
missary is, therefore, regularly renewed,
and our supplies are received in quaint.
ties quite sufficient to meet all our
wants"
In reply to a question, Captain Smith
said:
"All the talk about autonomy and of
Spanish reforms for Cuba is SO much
breath wasted, There is not a man in
the Cuban army who will agrco to accept
ANYTHING short of absolute independence. -

Colum bia. S. c.. June 5.-An appeal

made, but it Is extremely unlikely that
any effort will be made toward having

seems to be the general purpose to con.

the lowest possible figure and entering
the held OF competition with the whiskey
house3 outside the State who can only

contended that the dispensary can meet
all competition successfully because it
can reduce expenses considerably and,
besides, the profits at present are about
100 per cent. The first big Topping off of
expense, it is understood. will be the do

This now costs the State between $40, 600
and 0,000 annually. Already Governor

bin for council with him. In lieu of the
constabulary, the several cities of the
State Will be notified that they will be
expected to instruct their police forces to

Mr.. BRYAN ON THE SITUATION.

Tie st. Louis Post-Dispatch of
Sunday printed q letter from W.
J. Bryan, the first utterance after
three weeks of travel and observa-
ton, on the return Of prosperity.
Among other things he says;
"Wheat has risen because the
foreign crop has been exceedingly
short. The fact that silver and
wheat have parted company will
cause no dismay to those who I'M
derstand that the law of supply and
demand regulates the price of both.
Nothing can better disclose
the weakness. Of the Republican
position than the joy manifested
by the Republicans over events
for which their administration
and their politics are in no wise
responsible.
eff the Republicans desire to
claim credit for the high price OF
wheat, they must assume the re-
sponsibility for the famine II
India. A great rise in price
should be followed by q rise il
wages
Mr.. Bryan says "the joy owe
the increase of money from whea
! is evidence that we have too littl
money; that if the farmers ar
benefited by the rise in one O
their products, how much bette
would it be if the rise was univel
sal; that the price OF wheat Wi

comes normal, and that the pres
ent spasmodic rise will aid, rattle
than injure, the cause of b
metallism."
