Glenn Walker Killed.

Glenn C. Walker, who killed j. T.
Holman at Greenwood a few weeks ago,
was shot and killed by negro one night
last week near his plantation in Carroll
county. The negro had left Walkers
place few days before, and returned
that night to take his family away also.
Walker heard of the negro being on
the place and pursued him. When he
approached the fleeing negro's family
he was fired upon with a Winchester
rifle, resulting in Walkers instant
death. Walker was under 5000 bond
for his appearance at the next term of
Lefore County Circuit Court for the
killing of Holman.

Suffering is Intense Among Poor

Suffering is intense Among Poor
People IN Cuba.
NEW YORK, May 5.-A special to
The Tribune from Key West says:
The mail bags on the Spanish steam
er Argonauta, which was brought in
by the Marblehead yesterday, may
prove a most important capture. There
were twelve in all. They contained
mail both to and from Havana, some
confusion having resulted when the
authorities arranged to send every
thing by way of Cienfuegos to avoid
the blockade of the northern coast of
Cuba.
One letter from Havana under date
of April 26 spoke of suffering among
the poorer classes of the population
who were entirely without means Of
support. The writer himself said he
did not known where he was to get
his dinner. Another letter spoke Of
suffering but apparently the Govern
ment had a fair amount of supplies for
the soldiers. large amount of rice
had been imported by spectators who
foresaw the blockade and placed it in
a warehouse. Blanco was expected to
seize this.
The Argonauta had cargo of pro-
visions intended chiefly for Havana.
The question is whether these food
supplies will be sent under cover of
warships to the reconcentrados.

Prisoners of War

WASHINGTON CITY, May 5.-Sec-
Alger has directed that the ten
Spanish officers and the privates and
non-commissioned officers taken from
the Spanish steamer Argonauta, and
now at Key West, be taken to Fort
Mcpherson, just outside of Atlanta,
Ga, for confinement until they are
either exchanged for any American
officers and sailors who may be taken
by the Spaniards, or until some other
method for their disposition is reach
ed. The Spaniards will be placed un-
der the guard of a detachment of sol
diers detailed for that purpose. The
civilians taken from the steamer Pa
mama are held at Key West and are
under charge of the Department OF
Justice.

CANNOT ASSIST HER.

Austria Does Not See Her Way
Clear to Intervene.
LONDON, May 5.-A dispatch to The
Daily Telegraph from Vienna says:
Although the position of the Queen
Regent of Spain grows daily more
difficult no step can be taken by the
Austrian Cabinet in the matter, not
withstanding the deep and wide sym
pathy felt in high quarters here. 1t
is stated at the Foreign Office that
separate and isolated action on the
part of Austria must be carefully
avoided. This is only in strict ac-
cordance with the principles already
laid down.
However, such an attempt at rem
dering assistance to the Queen Regent
might be easily misinterpreted, and
besides meeting with the strongest OPP
position from those who side with the
Americans could not fail to give rise
to misunderstanding in many quar-
tiers.
Accordingly there is a firm determi-
nation here that if Austria takes any
part at all with regard to the con-
f1ict it will only be to take part in
united action by European Cabinets
and then only if Spain herself seeks
the intervention of the Powers.

TAMPA, May st appears to be al
most a settled belief among army Off
GERS here that no movement of United
States troops toward Cuba viii take
place until after the meeting of the
Spanish fiotilla with Rear Admiral
SIMPSONS squadron, which is now be-
lieyed TO be inevitable Nevertheless
everything possible is being done TO
put the United States troops in readi-
ness for immediate shipment.
Preparations for the landing of a
large force OF native Cubans at some
point in Cuba, within convenient reach
of General Gomez's army, are being
pushed as fast as possible.
The Cuban recruiting offices that
have been opend here are fairly over
whelmed with applications for enlist
ment, and it is very probable that close
to 1900 men will be armed and ready
for service under the banners of Gomez
before the end of the week.

KEY WEST, May 5.-The dispatch

United States Government early in the
week, returned this morning with four
of the six Cuban scouts who left here
last Monday. The other scouts were

and communication established with
the insurgent forces under Gen. Pedro
Delgado. The Leyden was twice fired
upon. She has shot marks upon her
smokestacks. The Spaniards who
opened fire on the dispatch boat were
driven back by the insurgents.
