THE CUBAN PATRIOTS
Shipping Ammunition For
Their Compatriots.
ONLY FREEDOM WANTED
SIXTY THOUSAND MEN UNDER
ARMS.
WITH BELLIGERENT RIGHTS WE ARE FREE
Cuban Agents in St, Louis Interviewed Cuba
Will Accept Nothing But Absolute Free
DOMINANT United States to Grant
BeIIigerent Rights.

st. Louis, Mo-, Oct. 19.-Three Cuhap
patriots direct from the scene of tbe
terrible struggle on the island have been
in st. Louis for the last fourteen davs
procuring and shipping ammunition for
their compatriots. Their work is at last
completed and they leave today for Gu
ba. One of them is authority for thf
statement that during their stay they
have purchased and forwarded from a
Texas port $225,000 worth of cart
ridges, dynamite, rifles, pistols and sad
dlery intended for the insurgent army
Two expeditions, conveying these SUP
plies, will sail tonight from Texas
port between the city of Bagdad and
Port Galveston and in the caribbean sea
will meet two other expeditions that
Sunday night sets sail from New York
The Cuban agents are Col. George
Johnston, of the staff of Gen. Carlos
Roloff; Col. Eduard Betancourt and
Capt. III. A. Smith. Col. Johnston, who
was interviewed by a reporter, said:
"Our mission has been to buy sup
plies for the department of the east
Owing to quarantine we could do moth
ing at Key West and came to st. Louis
We have accomplished our mission here
by the purchase of $225,000 worth Of
ammunition and the like"
Col. Johnston continued on the subject
of Cuba:
Autonomy? No! Nothing but absolute
freedom. We have sixty thousand men
under arms in Cuba. Virtually the whole
island except Havana, Matanzas and
Cienfuegos, is in our hands. We could
take Havana by means of dynamite, but
we would have to notify the foreign
consuls, who. of course. would notify
the enemy, else we~should blow up our
friends.
AT a meeting of representatives of
the whole army of the east and of the
west as late as October 4, at Holquin
at which | was present and which has
not yet been mentioned in the papers, il
was reiterated that Cuba would accept
nothing but absolute freedom. 1t is q
waste of time for the United States to
deal with Spain relative to granting au
tonomy or anything else short of abso-
lutte freedom. What he want of the
United States is the granting of bellig-
erent rights. With that, in less than
seventy-two hours we would have out
of the various ports OF the United States
forty-two vessels flying the Cuba flag.
Before the American Congress meets
again there win he events which we
hope will compel Congress to recognize
us. We have been on the defensive here
tofere. Now we are on the offensive. We
begin to retaliate. The armies of the east
and west are about to consolidate. They
will shortly attack Matanzas. Possibly
Havana will be assailed. We are about to
show Congress that we mean business,
if we have not shown it heretofore.
with belligerent rights the island
will be free before December 31st of
this year. Without recognition we shall
still be free before March of next year"

running at a very slow rate when the
accident happened.
Bette Wilcox lives near the scene of
the accident and was coming from her
house at the time, but was not looking
just at the moment he was struck. She
went to Hawkins after the accident and
remained until he died. He raised his
head several times, she said and took
deep breaths, but never spoke. She
couldn't say how fast the car was run
ming and heard no alarm ring.
All the witnesses identified Hawkins
as the man who was killed by the car.
AT the conclusion of the evidence the
jury consulted for few minutes and
returned the following verdict:
Thomas Hawkins came to his death
from shock as a result of an injury re.
ceived from car No. 8 of the Raleigh
Electric. Company. The jury further
find, from sufficient evidence, that said
Thomas Hawkins met his death as the
result of his own careIessness and not
from any fault of the Raleigh Electric
Company"
While the inquest was in progress no.
body knew who the man was. At its con-
|clusion, however, the room quickly filled
with negroes and John Raimie and Will
Plummer identified him as Thomas
Hawkins. Both said they knew him well;
that so far as they knew his hearing
was good and he was never known to
drink.
Plummer said he was raised with
Hawkins at Ridgeway and that his
father and mother and other relatives
lived there and had just been telegraphed
to. He added that he and Hawkins
roomed together here at Jim Wright's, in
front of the Washington graded school.
He left Hawkins about 6 o'clock and is
at loss to account for his failure to
hear the street car gong and get off the
track.

The history committee met this af-

the question of school histories, the fol-

Resolved, That only such histories
as fairly present the principles and facts
upon which is grounded our American
republic be used, with due acknowledge
ment of the actors in the foundation Of
the same, and its preservation from every
section. In this spirit we would recon-
mend as Viginia histories those by Mrs
Mary Tucker McGill and Gen. D. Ii.
Maury and as histories of the United
States those by Mrs. Susan Pendeton
Lee, Rev. J. VIM. Jones, Shinn, Hasel
series and Holmes.
'Further we would suggest for its
moral and patriotic influence. as auxili-
ary reading the admirable life of Gen.
Robert u. Lee, by Mrs. Williamson-in
our opinion, it might be adopted-such is
its clearness and verbal simplicity-as
current reader.

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 19-Another night
OF suspense in the Luetgert case. At o
O'Clock tonight the jury had gone to bed
ON cots, placed in the court room.
Over in the jail Luetgert was, during
the evening anXiously awaiting word
from the jury room. He tried, as usual.
10 keep up an appearance of indifferenea
and, as usual, made failure of it.
III they don't agree" he said, ''I get
bail and l will be out of this. l can give
bail for million, if they want that
much. My wife is living somewhere but
admit that she is having a lot of fun
with me at present. There is one thing
sure" the prisoner said with great posi-.
tlveness, there will be no conviction In
this case. 1t will be an acquittaI or q
disagreement
Asked where he obtained his informs.
ton he smiled and said :"Oh, | know.
you go long. 1 won't be convicted.
though, you can bet on that"
Two letters offering bribes to the fore
man of the jury in the Luetgert case
have been received by Judge Tuthil and
are now in the possession Of the States
Attorney. States Attorney Deneen 4
not disposed to regard the attempted
bribery seriously, but Inspector Setback
land Assistant States Attorney McEwea
look upon the matter with suspicion. The
first letter was received last Monday
morning. 1t was dated October 16, the
day upon which it was originally be-
lieved the case would go to the jury.
1t reads:
Mr. Foreman: Dear Sir-A powerful
influence is at work to save Adolph

hard times a $100 or so comes in handy.

streets tomorrow at 1 o'clock. Let them
wear white linen recktes, or If they pre-
fer it, red bow ties. Everything will be
all right. The money is secured in o
Clark street bank. GEO. ATRILL."
Judge Tuthill opens all mail sent TO
the jurors and in this way these letters
fell into his hands. His honor is inclined
TO regard the letters as a hoax

Jury took another ballot, the vote stand
