Notes Have Passed Between the Com- missioners but the Spanish An-
 swer Is Not Satisfactory.
EVACUATION BEGINS
 AT MANzANILL0.
The Troops There Will Go to Cienfne- gos to Embark For Spain Twenty Thousand Sick Spanish Soldiers
 Are Now In Cuba.

New York, Sept 29--A dispatch to The Herald from Havana says: Members of the American commission were astonished by the sight of a heavy rapidtire gun and carriage move past the hotel. It was being taken by road engine toward the city from battery behind the Hotel Trocha.
 As a result terse note was prepared stating in unmistalable language to the Spanish commission that the Amerfcan commission considered the removal of the gun distinct breach of the terma of the protocol, adding the command that no cannon or other munitions of war be moved without previous assent and permission of the American conn mission.
 The note was promptly sent, being delivered by Captain Hart and Lieut.. Hampton to the Spanish commissions long before the cannon reached tho city. A member of the Spanish commission said that he considered the matter of no importance. Nothing had been said to the American commission because it was considered that the return of the cannon to the cruiser Alphonso III, from which it had been taken to the battery and was perfectly natural and within Spanish rights and that no Amer ican consent was necessary any more than for the return of invalid soldiers te Spain, upward of 4000 of whom had been sent home since the protocol was signed without the effect of the American com mission.
 This reply was delivered at the Tro- cha by the official Spanish interpreter, Major Benitz. 1t was regarded as un- satisfactory, involving further commune ication on the subject from the Ameri- can commission.
 1 No Spanish evacuation reply has been sent yet because tho commission failed to meet Tuesday night as had been ex- pected, but it is promised at the earliest possible date. It may be delivered to- morrow.
 l Spanish troops which are to evacuate
 Manzaniilo before Oct. r. number about
 1000. They will go to Cienfugos and
 await the authorization of the other
 troops there, According to the formal Spanish note on the subject received by 1 the American commission Tuesday night
 when the troops leave Manzanillo all the
 government property and affairs there
 will be turned over to the local Spanish civil authorities

CHARLES RUSH, A sTENo- GRAPHER, LEAVES
 TOWN.
Doubtless Thinking our Town Too Easy" for a Man of His
 Talents He Departs.

Several thstago, Chas. Rush, deserving young white man, ap- piled for work at the home of MT. D. s. Bluthenthal on West Second avenue, and Mir. Bluthent thai having no coachman, he gave Rush @ posi- tion. He proved a faithful em. ploye and, as he was an expert stenographer by profession, posi- tien was secured for him at an office at the shops and hethere also verified his ability as an expert stenographer and q faithful worker. He made friends on all sides.
 After being in the employe of that office for nearly five months, his engagement to Miss Dee Hamilton was announced and the marriage occurred a few days afterwards.
 Miss Hamilton was known as one of the prettiest and most accom-. plished young ladies of the East end, coming, as she did, from one of the oldest and best families in that neighborhood.
 Rush also found soft spot in the hearts of our merchants and, of late, bought freely. He even went so far to buy an expensive dia- mond ring from one of our jewellers.
 He borrowed money from a num- Der of his friends, aud bought suits, hats, shirts and other wearing ap- parel indiscriminately and without any regard to prices. Tuesday night, thinking he was sufficiently supplied, he left town.

ATTACKS A. J. CLEMMONS A PROMINENT PLANTER AT GRADY, WITH A
 KNIFE
And is Stabbed to Death With His Own WeapOn---The Negro Said to Have Been d
 Dangerous Character

Friday afternoon, negro farm hand on MT A, J. Clemmon's planta. tion became involved in Q dispute with MT. Clemmons and made an attack on him with mall. MT. Clemmons warded off the blows, and, seeing a chance, snatch. ed the mall from the desperate ne. gro's hand.
 Instantly and without warning the negro drew a heavy barlow knife out of his pocket, opened the blade and made lunge after lunge at Mr. Clemmons, trying his best to kill him.
 In this murderous attack Mr. Clemmons was knocked to the ground, and as the infuriated brute bent over to give him finishing blow, by superhuman effort Mr. Clemmons got hold of the knife and wrenched it from his assailant.
 Thus armed he succeeded in gain ing his feet, and, as the negro still kept up the attack, MT. Clemmons was compelled to defend himself with the negroes knife. The negro was stabbed three tines, but per sistently kept on striking and kick Ing until he sank to the ground through loss of blood. From wounds received he died yesterday morning.
 A coroners jury was empanelled and after deiiberation brought in a verdict: That he came to his death by wounds inflicted by a knife in the hands of one A. J. Clem- mons."
 Mr. A. J. Clemmons is one of the
 most popular and we'll known of the planters of this neighborhood. He has always borne the reputation Of a gentleman; one that was always kind and considerate to his em- ployes. In conversation yester- day afternoon when the killing was referred to, Mr. Clemmons said:
 1T do not care to talk about the affair. I only wish to say that as the law gives every man the right to protect his own life, I was com pelled in self defense to stab him with the knife when l at last secured It,"
 From all that could be learned the negro was clearly at fault. His rep utation is rather shady, and he is known as a absolute, dangerous and quarrelsome character.
 Grady, the scene of the killing, is twenty-two miles southeast of here on the Valley road. It is a small place of two or three stores, and is just oyer the Jefferson county line in Lincoln county.

CHARAcTERlzEs THE EFF
 FORTS OF THE PEOPLE
 OF PINE BLUFF.
Towards the Erection of an Electric Street RailWay---Col. s. ".
 FOrdyce Interested.

'no oe. LoulS southwestern Ry..
 arrived in the city today at 12 :15 o'clock from St. Louis oyer the Iron mountain The train is due to arrive hero at 11 40 a. m. but was
 delayed in waiting for St. Louis mail.
 Col. Fordyce. as has been pre-. viously announced in our columns.
 IS here in the interest of the electric Railway, which Pine Bluff has lono sought.
 Col. Fordyce, since we can re- member, has never taken hand in anything unless it's result was a grand success. He is here to tell
 the citizens the benefit of an electric line and to give US assistance if any
 in needed in securing it.
 A meeting of our citizens was held at o'clock this afternoon at the Bluff City Clubs parlors. AL though the meeting had never bees previously announced, fully fifty  of our most infuencial citizens were present, which goes to show Pine Bluff has hundreds of enterprisino and energetic citizens. who are eyer ready to lend helping hand in the aid of their town.
 h explaining the purpose Of his visit here and the calling of the meeting, Col. Fordyce said that Mir. Wood, promoter, Of Chicago, had seen him relative to the prospects of such an enterprise in Pine Bluff. MT. Wood represented Westing- house < Co.,, of Chicago. MT. Wood said that his people were willing to back the concern if Col. Fordyce would take hold, and if the people of Pine Bluff would interest themselves in it.
 Mir. Wood proposed that com pany be organized in Pine Bluff with a capital of $500, GOO; that bonds be issued to the amount of $200, 900 and that our citizens sub- scribe for $35, GOO or $40, ,0O0 of the bonds or stock. The Westinghouse company. would then lend the rail way company $150,000 or such amount as was necessary to build the plant, this company to give its note for the money and give the bonds as security for the note. The company will be allowed eighteen to sell the bonds and pay for the note.
 The gentlemen present discussed the details of the enterprise and It's merits. Col. Fordyce said that he had interested himself in the enter prise because he thought it could be made valuable to himself and Pine Bluff. He promised his co-opera- tion and that of the Cotton Belt road. He said that he would take B, 900 worth of the bonds.
 In order to act more effectly and to make it's acts official it was de- cided to effect organization by elect ing chairman and secretary.
 Messrs. s. Geisreiter and D. c. Bell were elected to these respective offices.
 A committee was appointed to devise ways and means for the rais- .ng of the funds req quired of the Pine Bluff people, ard present the plans offered by Col. Fordyce to insure the erection of an electric street railway and power company.
 The committee was as follows: Capt. W. s. Geter, chairman; D. }. Bell, J. E. Trulock, Gabe Meyer, ". H. Langford, I. Dreyfus, and s. ieisreiter. Adjourned.
