HAVANA, CUBA May 23.-The sugges-
ton that the American administration
should purchase Cuban independence
meets with the enthusiastic approval of
the business men here. Commissioner
Calhoun has received much information
about the real state Of affairs and the
scheme of the purchase OF Cuba has been
suggested to him as a good course for
Mckinley to take. What business classes
in Cuba would prefer is the intervention
of the United States in a peaceful way,
establishing, until the whole amount OF
indemnity is paid TO Spain, kind of
American protectorate over the new re-
public.
The correspondent of THE CALL has
just learned that the plan was also sug-
gested, some months ago, to the Cleye-
land administration by Consul eneraI L.
Lee in very important report, which is
at the Office of the Secretary of State in
Washington. The report has been kept
secret in Washington. Statistics on
which the arguments are based were pre-
\
General by prominent representative OF
the ir6ast4:a, and educated ciasse ul
Cuba.
A letter from Washington received by
rich merchant says Sherman and McKin-
ley recently gave great attention to this
document. In it Lee points out that a
monetary indemnity is the best solution
for Spain herself One of the reasons for
Spaln's stubborn resistance to interven-
ton is the enormous debt contracted in
Cuba since the war of 1868, and for which
Spain, in case Cuba becomes independent
is herself responsible. An indemnity
will solve, in great part, this perplexing
problem. The debt, which amounts now
to over $500, 900, will not be such a
heavy burden upon Spain if 5000, ,000, 900 is
paid to the mother country by Cuba. 1t
should be remembered the actual price of
Spanish Cuban bonas are very much be-
low par, and the Spanish Government,
possessing $500, 000, 900, can easily make
an arrangement with shareholders. Be-
sides the indemnity would relieve Spain
Of much larger monetary sacrifice
which a continuance of the war i'm poses
upon her.
Lee also gave figures to show the total
inability OF the island TO be a further
source OF revenue for Spain and the fact
that Spain must depend upon her own
i'm poverished treasury for means to con-

Everybody in Anderson was terribly
shocked last Sunday morning when q tele-
gram from Bolton brought the sad news
that Mr.. L. Ii. Poore, a popular merchant
in this city, had died suddenly of apoplexy
at the home of his brother, MIR. Lum
Poore, that morning in Bolton. Mr..
Poore on Saturday attended the pic mic at
Cocley's Bridge, where he formerly lived,
and was apparently in his usual good
health and as jolly and lively as ever.
Saturday evening he came over to his
brothers to spend the night, and about 3
o'clock a. M. the latter was aroused by the
former breathing very heavily, and on
going to his bedside found him lying on
his back unconscious and struggling to
get his breath. Physicians were ct once
summoned, and everything possible done
to relieve the unfortunate man, but with.
out success, for he never regained con-
| s%ciousuess and about 10 a. nj. death claim
ed him as its victim. Mr.. Poore was a son
| of the late Holland Poore, and was about
As years of age. In his hoyhood he joined
the Shady Grove Baptist Church and
throughout his life was q faithful member.
He was twice married, and both his wives
preceded HIM to the grave. By his first
marriage three son and one daughter are
left to cherish the memory of a devoted
father, and in their sore bereavement they
have the sympathies of q wide circle OF
friends. Nr. Poore was one of tho most
generous, noble. hearted men We ever
knew, and had the confidence and esteem
of every acquaintance. dc was we'll
known throughout the County, and his
death is deeply regretted. On Monday
morning his remains were buried in the
Bolton Cemetery beside those of his wives,
Rev. O.. L.. Martin, of this city, conduct
ing the funeral services. Mr.. Poore was o
member of the Knights of Honor and OF
the United Order of Woodmen of the
World.
