DALTON. Ga. Jan. 6. - There is little
doubt that the Hon. Charles Dougherty,
ex-Congressman from the Second district
of Florida, has been slain in Cuba. Re-
ports have been published from Cuba about
the killing there of one Charles Dougherty
an American citizen. who was identified by
an autograph upon gold watch found or
his person. Mr.. Dougherty was born near
this place and grew to manhood here
when he moved to Florida and was elected
to Congress within three years. AT the
end of his congressional service he returned
to his old home leaving there last July
since which time word has been heard
from him. Letters and kilograms sent to
Dayton and other Florida points have been
returned with the information that he is
not there. kilograms to all parts of Flor
ida to-day have been without result. When
Mr.. Dougherty left home in July he had
just such a watch with the autograph as
indicated. He was an ardent Cuban SYM
pathizer. often declaring his purpose to join
the insurgent army.

PRESENT FOR THE SULTAN.
He Will BE Sent a Lifc-Sixe Figure of
an American Indian Chief.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 6.-The Smithsonian
Institution has decided to make the Sultan
of Turkey a present of 2 life-size figure of a
Sioux Indian chief. The figure will represent
a chief arayed for a war dance in war
blanket and moccasins with his costume
decorated with profusion of beads If the
Sultan had picked a war chief at the height
of his glory from the band I'm Dakota he
than the one prepared for him at the
Smithsonian Institution. When Secretary
Langley of the institution made a trip TO
Turkey in the summer OF 1895 he was ac-
companied by DR.. Cyrus Adler, the famous
orientaist. The Sultan presented them
several albums OF magnificent photographs
and intimated that he would be only too
glad TO send a contribution to the National
Museum. i. was naturally thought proper
that these courtesies should be recipro-
Gated. and Secretary Langley came TO the
conclusion that there could be no more
appropriate gift than one that would be
typical OF the aboriginal life of this coun-
try. Orders were given TO construct the fig
ure of Sioux chief. and this, after long
care and study, has just been completed.
The figure will b.. boxed and shipped
freight PREPAID to the Sultan this week.
1t will be accompanied by a number Of ar
ticles used in domestic and martial life by
