SPANS TROOPS CONCENTRATE
Gen Pando Evacuates All But Four
Garrisons.

Kingston, Jamaica, May 5.-Senor
Manuel Care, a Manzanillo merchant
who left there six days ago and has just
arrived by the schooner Governor Blake
says that Gen. Pando ordered all the
garrisons in eastern Cuba to concen-
trate at ManzanilIo, Neuvitas, Guanta-
namo and Santiago de Cuba Other
places have been evacuated.
Some spectators in Manzanil1o who
had ordered a cargo of food sent from
Montego Bay, cabled the agent, Rich
ard Thompson, not to ship it, as it was
supposed the food would be seized by
the Spaniards.
The British consul at Santiago de Gu
ba cab1ed that he was safe and that the
city was quiet Her majesty's ship,

de Cuba last night. Sanfrisco Portuan-
do has received a request to send a YES

world, are established at Manila He
adds the surprising statement:
THE volume of the export trade COM
ing under my official supervision equals
that of my u consular colleagues COM
bined.''
He then shows in detail how the trade
of the Philippines with the United
States exceeds that of all other coun-
tries combined and is growing at a re-
markable rate. AS indicating the ex-
tent Of this trade he says:
To-day 1 have authenticated invoices
for export to the United States amount
ing to $138,O66."
He says the exports to this country
average 81, 000, 600 a month The report
states that PIC, 600 bales of hemp were
exported during the last three months
OF these lbs. 1872 went to the United
States and $4,000 to Great Britain and
other countries. Mr.. Williams shows
from this that the United States had
81 per cent of the export trade from the
Philippines, as against SO per cent for
Great Britain and other countries He
says that last year the increase of ship
ments to the United States was 133, 900
bales and the decrease to Great Britain
% 900 bales. He adds:
of increased shipments from the
Philippines, those to the United States
were "a per cent greater than to all 9TH
er countries combined
He also gives details of the large
shipments of sugar, cigars, tobacco,
woods, hides, shells, indigo and coffee
In the item of sugar, which is second In
Importance, the shipments to the United
States were 55 per cent of the total to
all points.

BROKEN SWORD
Of General Cass Sought by the Ohio
Historical Society.

Columbus, O., May 5.-Some Of the
member Of the Ohio archaeological and
historical society, are quietly endeavor-
ing to secure the hilt and part of the
blade of the sword of Gen. Lewis Cass,
the Democratic candidate for president
in 1913, once leading citizen and prom
inent attorney at GAINESVILLE.
There is a striking story in connec-
ton with this fragmentary implement
of war, which is said to be in Detroit
in possession of some of Gen Cass' de-
scendants- At the time of Gen HuIIs
surrender to the British commander at
Detroit in the war of 1912, Gen CasS
was en- route with a division made up
largely of Ohio soldiers to join him.
Hull, in his capitulation, included
Cass' division, although the junction of
forces had not been effected. The
Ohioan could not well avoid the hurniI-
iating necessities OF the occasion, and
would have broken the protocol had he
been with reaching distance of his am
munitiOn train
He swore that at least he would not
deliver all his sword to the British off,
Ger who came to receive his formal sur
render. To make good his word he
thrust the blade into the rift of a par
TALLY blown-over tree, and snapped it
off a few inches from the hi1t- The
Britisher, who seems to have beeen of
a chivaIrous disposition, declined to re-
ceive the broken blade, and compliment
ed Gen CaSS on his spirit.

OREGON NOT AFRAID.
Tacoma Man on the Battleship Writes
From Ca1lao, Peru

Tacoma, Wn-, May 5.-The statement
that the officers of the battleship Ore
gon are not prepared for an encounter
with Spanish warship is contradicted
by the following letter, which was re-
ceived here today from John Lewis, who
has charge of the searchIight on the
vessel.
"Callao, Peru, April Ave arrived
here this morning, just 16 days out
from San Francisco. We commenced to
coal the ship just as soon as we drop
ped anchor, and as soon as we get
through we shall leave for Key West
through the straits of Magellan. We
expect to have some lively times from
now on, for there are torpedo boats
waiting for US down the coast. One
just left here three days ago. We are
going from here to Valparaiso, Chile,
and from there to Rio Janeiro. This is
the longest trip a battleship ever made,
$500 miles We don't steam as fast as
we can We came here at about the
rate of ten and one-half knots, but we
can make Is or 16 and one-half knots.
One of the natives came aboard today,
and when he saw the big guns he said;

BnI1ers to be Kicked Ont.

The Kansas City Journal of the 18th
had a dispatch from Washington III
regard to the Ohio boilers. 1t is good
reading. Let the fight wax warm
the hotter the better. The dispatch
says:
1.-THE speech OF Senator lIaunn at
| Columbus has been the topic of q good
deal of comment here, particularly the
declaration that I'VE want no traitors
in our camp This is the sentiment OF
all the stalwart republicans, who are in
favor of reading out of the organization
Kurtz, Mckisson and all other republl-
cans who bolted the instructions OF the
Toledo state convention and their own
district conventions and refused 10 sup
port Hanna.
s'There ia no doubt here in either
democratic or republican circles that
Mckisson committed himself absolutely
to the Chicago platform in order to get
democratic support for the senatorshlp,
although he denies that he did so and
claims that he only declared himself n
bimetallist. The members of TIE
national democratic committee in
Washington-and there arc q number
of them here-held n conference with
the silver nat and by their advice
sent instructions to the democratic
leaders of the Ohio legislature, as was
reported at the time, not to vote for
any republican candidate for the United
States senate who would not bind him
self with the most comprehensive
pledges TO support tho Chicago plat
form and all silver legislation proposed
in hat body. Several replies were
received promising in a most emphatic
manner to abide by hat advice, and it
IS known that Governor Bushnell
dropped out of the list of candidates
for the reason that he would not make
the promises required. The democratic
senators here were also informed that
McKisson had made the necessary
pledges, and unless he did so he could
not have received the democratic votes.
ssGovernor Bushnell did not commit
the overt act of treason, from the
republican standpoint, and, therefore,
he cannot be read out of the party;
and it Is doubtful whether Senator
Hanna could get rid of Kurtz il he
tried, because the latter has n very
large and active following. The
small fry IN the legislature a be
easily handled.
&C. L. Kurtz, leader OF 'thc combine
In the fight against Senator Hanna, is
quoted 10 an interview as saying, in
reply to the threat to remove him from
the republican national committee:
IS i was elected by the Ohio delega-
ton, and no one else has the power to
remove me-
"sMr. II. NJ. Daugherty Is loud in
his accusations against me. He calls
me a traitor. / remember that five
years ago Mr.. Daugherty was elected
to the legislature az u Foraker man and
then voted for Sherman
ssMr. Daugherty in an interview
denies that he promised to vote for Mr..
Foraker five years ago. He says that
he voted for the so-called Foraker can
didate for speaker of the house at hat
time, but that he was not pledged to
Foraker"

In Police CouPt.


Six men we're arrested Saturday might
and lodged in the calaboose until Mon
day morning, when they were taken
before Judge Prices court and charged
with selling merchandise without
license. They received Jail sentences Of
twenty-one days each.
These are the same parties who held
up Il negro man III Myrick Saturday
night and vent through his pockets.
They will also be handled for going into
the store of Miss Lucy Davis, on Main
street, Saturday night, and demanding
money from her. One man entered the
store and demanded money, while the
rest of the gang remained outside; but
they became frightened and ran away
before securing any money.
Policeman Whitsett, of Kansas City,
vas i'll Lexington Sunday and identified
the men as parties who were run out of
stole considerable goods after being
warned to leave the city, and that they
are wanted there, They are said to
have gotten into trouble at Napoleon,
and also to have stolen q boat near that
town.
One of the parties, a tall, red whis-
kered man, who gave the name of Tom
Walsh, is thought to be the man who
murdered 4 citizen in n of the river
counties in Western Tennessee, and
then killed the sheriff who attempted to
arrest him. This crime occurred about
1882. After committing the crime the
double murderer crossed the Mississippi
river in a skiff and escaped through
Southern Missouri and Northwestern
Arkansas into the Choctaw Nation,
which he entered a day in advance of
the deputy sheriff seat after him. A
gentleman who is now a citizen or Lex
ington was in Northwestern Arkansas
at the time, and held q long conversa-
ton with the murderer when he was
escaping through that country. He mel
the deputy sheriff the following day and
found out who the man was with whom
he had been talking. He was in the
police court Monday, when the men
were brought in. and he at ono noticed
something familiar about the red whis-
kered mans appearance. He now says
he is almost positive that he could iden-
tify him as the Tennessee murderer.
The red whiskered man noticed our
citizen looking at him closely, and
seemed also to recognize him. He APP
peared to be very much confused, and
avoided meeting his gaze. An effort
will be made to discover whether or not
Walsh is the man wanted In Tennessee.

Prices court Monday, charged with
seducing Mary Stuedle. The cas- was
