WAS NOT DELAYED.
Trench Gable Manager Says Message Was Not
 Held.

Fort De France, Island of Martinioue May 16.-The manager here of the French Cable company explicitly denies the state- ment that a dispatch filed by Captain Col ton, of the United States auxiliary cruiser Harvard, was delayed twenty-four hours at St. Pierre, this island. The manager ex- plains the matter as follows:
 Captain Cplton presented himself at the office of the company at St. Pierre and asked by what cable line cable messages were transmitted to Washington. When he was informed that such messages went by way of Fort DeFrance and Hayti he refused to give us his dispatch because a Spanish torpedo boat was at that moment at Fort DeFrance. Not taking into ac- count professional secrecy he told the American consul in the presence of M La Lung under these circumstances he prefer red to give his dispatches to the English company subject to delay of twenty-four hours, which they would have to submit to on account of accumulation of business on the lines of that company.
 T protest all the more against the state ment, as we have our office open until mid- night or l o'clock in the morning when necessary, while the West India company closes at 6 in the evening, local time, and also because we do everything possible to be agreeable to the government, forward ing its messages very rapidly whenever we have any.
 "I have obtained the following state ment on the subject signed by the United States consulate at St. Pierre and Captain Colton, of the Harvard:
 'To whom it may concern: I certify that the agent of the French company at St. Pierre, Martinique, never stated to me that dispatches from St. Pierre, Martinique, to New York, United States of America would have to suffer delay of twenty-four hours.
 "(Signed) GEORGE l.. DART,
 United States Consul.

abIe-boded men to work on his farm.
 Mir. Cosby offered to pay the fines of the prisoners and to be responsible for their care and keeping. His proposition was ac- eepted, and he was allowed to select fifteen men from the prison. He paid quite neat little sum into the city treasury, and left on the afternoon train with his prisoners.
 It will be remembered that the Sloss Iron and Steel company, who leased the city prisoners up to a short time ago, refused to renew it's lease with the city, and knotty problem presented itself as to what to do with the prisoners.
 About year ago the city farmed out few convcts, but the lease with the Sloss company. who agreed to take them al' stopped the farming plan.
 Mayor Evans believes that the plan will work favorably to all concerned. The pris- oners were willing to go and were not sent against their wills.

STORE BURNED
At Woodlawn Supposed to Be the Work of h.
 diaries

The grocery store and market of J. K. Bayliss, at Lucille Station, woodlawn, was destroyed by fire Sunday night. It is thought to have been of incendiary origin. Just before the building was discovered to be on fire a man was seen coming out of the door. The alarm was given by D. c. Buckshaw, who owned the building and re- sided next door with his family. Citizens responded and the fire apparatus was put to use, but the fire had gained too much headway and the building burned to the ground.
 MT. Bayliss' stock was valued at about $90O, on which he carried $750 insurance.
