Provisions of the Act.


The provisions of the recent act of Con-
gress fixing the rates to be charged by the

phone and its appliances, and to refuse to
render the complainants further telephone

tions Of $3.50 for each quarters rent for

Playa del Este, Guantanamo
Bay, Cuba, Sept 25.-The wreck
ing company engaged under Lieut.
Hobson in the work of saving the
wrecked Spanish warships has
succeeded in floating the cruiser
Infanta Maria Teresa. The
cruiser after being got afoat was
taken in tow by the Potomac, and,
conveyed by the cruiser Newark,
the Scorpion and Alvarado, pro.
ceeded for Guantanamo bay,
where she arrived last night. The
successful issue of the attempt
was greeted with the blowing of
whistles, the firing of national
sa!utes and by cheers, in which
the Cubans joined, disturbing the
noon siesta.
Of Siboney the barometer and
the wind indicated the approach
of hurricane and the towing was
increased.
The Newark, under Capt Good.
rich, rendered valuable assistance
in the work of saving the Maria
Teresa. The cruiser is being put
in condition for her trip north by
the repair ship Vulcan.

How long the men will remain

on when the medical examinations
will begin and how rapidly the
work can be done. 1t was said
that Virginia Physician attach
ed to General Lees staff had been
detailed to do the examining. The
men will be examined one by one
and the present orders are that
the regiment will be granted a
furlough for thirty days just as
soon as the physical examinations
have been completed. There will
be no furloughing as the exami
nation progresses, according ia
the present instructions. When
the regiment as whole has been
examined thirty days. furlough
will be granted. Any soldier
wanting his discharge Immediately ly
upon completing his physical e1.
animation can get it but he will
miss his frrlough and commuta-

Estimates of damage to the
county by the storm of Thursday
night by those who know the
facts range from $4,000 to $780,
O00. OF course these estimates
are more or less unsatisfactory.
in that no one can say how much
injury has been done to low land
corn and cotton nor how much
valuable surface soil has been
swept away by the water, but it
is generally thought that $40, 900
is a conservative estimate.
With the receipt of later re-
port yesterday Supervisor Spec
gle says the damage to roads and
bridges can hardly be replaced
for less than $4,000 and he add
that the damage cannot be regain
cd fully before the first of next
year.

KILLED HIS BROTHER
For a Nutmeg Crater the Crime
of Cain is Committed.

Greenville, Sept "a. News
reached here today of horrible
homicide on Wednesday night be-
yond Caesars Head, when Char
lie Robinson shot and killed bis
elder brother Berry Robinson,
at the latter's home in Transyl-
vanie county, North Carolina. The
fratricide was brought on by q
quarrel over u nutmeg crater.
Charlie Robinson, who is toll gate
keeper, and this summer has been
driving for the Caesars Head
hotel, went to his brothers. house
under the influence of whiskey
and emptied one barrel of his
shotgun into his brothers heart.
The shooting was in North Caro-
lima, IN sight of the State line,
over three miles from Caesar s
Head. Charlie Robinson lives in
Greenville county, South Caro-.
lima. He is now in the Transyl-
vanie county Jail at Brevard, and
is PROSTATE over his rash deed.
He is married man, with nine
children. Berry Robinson leaves
wife but no child. They were
known to be on good terms the
day of the shooting, and the af-
fair has caused great regret
among the mountain people,
among whom the Robinson's were
a prominent family, Charlie being
an industrious young man.

THE MIDDLE OF OCTOBER
FIXED.
AS the Date When Evacuation
Begins and all Troops
Must Get Off by
December 81.

Washington, Sept "a. Officials
here are watching with interest
the progress being made by the
military commission ut Habana
in securing the evacuation of the
island of Cuba. The commission
has been very slow in making re-
ports to the war department, but
from the latest received it appears
that the body would like to have
moro definite instructions as to
procedure. 1t seems that the
Spanish side has said that they
could not begin the evacuation of
the island until the first of No.
vember, and that it could not be
completed before the 2Sth of
February next.
In view of the alarming state of
the Cubans who are suffering
from hunger and the inability,
under the present uncertain con-
ditions, of obtaining work, tho
President decided that he could
not assent to the consumption of
SO much time. Therefore he
caused the commission to be in
structed to demand that the eva
cuation by the Spaniards begin
not later than October Is, and
that it will be completed by De-
cember 31st next. What the re-
suit of this demand will be is not
yet known, but it is said that the
administration is determined to
tolerate no dilatory tactics on the
part of the Spanish forces in
leaving the island, although dis
posed to permit reasonable iudul-
gence. Notice has also been
taken of the expressed purpose of
the Spanish captain general to re-
move from the island the remains
of Christopher Columbus, with
part of the surmounting monu.
ment. If IL monument is not a
permanet fixture, then it is hard
to decide what is. and it is pos.
sible that attention will be called
to the infraction of the terms of
the protocol, although this must
be done with haste in order to
succeed in its object, as the re-
moval is said to be fixed for next
Tuesday.
