ReY. !. F. Carr Given an Anniversary Dinner Fly MT. and Mrs. A
 Brewster

The name of Rev. John F. Carr has become household possession throughout southeast Arkansas. On July 2stb, 1884 he made his appearance on Tennessee soil. He explains that he is in no wise to blame for h,s bi"th being on Tennessee instead of Arkansas soil. His parents brought him to Arkansas when q lad of only ten summers and settled in what s now q part of Drew county.
 He commenced to preach n his 19tf year and has remained Tn active service since. He rendered distinguished service as Confeder- ate soldier and among his warmest friends are bis confederate com rades. In thfsnumber is our fellow townsman Mr- Alphonso Brewster, who says there exists lifetime con tract for Bro. Carr to eat birthday dinpers at his hone. Those who had the good fortune to be present on the 18th at the bountiful spread in the bospitable home of MT. Brew ster, feel that Bro. Carr is highly favored under his birthday con tract. Those present were
 Rev. J. F. Carr and wife, Rev. A. Turrentine and wife, Rev. J. k. Eason and wife, Edgar Brewster md wife, Oscar Brewster and wife, DE Scales and Rev. John M Carr
 The many friends of brother Carr will wish for him many returns of this happy occasion. During his forty-fve years Of active service as minister among the people of southeast Arkansas, he has main taiued a character of spotless purity and proven himself minister of hope and consolation to thousands of hearts and homes. It may be truly said that no minister has been more universally loved. He is in Lis tanth year Of pastoral work in Pine Bluff. Such has been the breadth of his spirit until people of all denominations feel that he be- longs to them.
 Too much cannot be said in honor of the good woman who has stood so brayely by his side for the last B years. A shost of friends will devoutly pray foraher full restora- tion to health.

 Santiago de Cuba, July 2S.-Lieuten- ant Colonel Angel Resell who, after taking confirmation Of the instructions to surrender from General Toral to General Paro1a. military governor of Guantanamo returned here yesterday afternoon. He said to an Associated Press correspondent that the first in timation thas Guantanamo had of the surrender of Santiago and the terms thereof. was on July g when Rear Admiral Sampson sent q letter to General Parajo. asking what number of rations should be sent to his gar risen as they had been surrendered on July IT.
 General Parajo, being ignorant of the surrender, refused to credit the message and accept rations, answering Admiral Sampson to that effect. Ad- miral Sampson then sent copy of the terms of surrender, whereupon General Parajo decided to inquire of General roral at Santiago whether the news was true, and Lieutenant Colonel Resell was appointed to come here. He returned with this confirmation and the surrender of Guantanamo took place Tuesday. Colonel Resell says the conditions of Guantanamo are aw- full and the troops are literally stegr- ing. For the last eight days they have had no food. On mounting guard the soldiers were obliged to sit, being too weak to stand and it was impossible to make them build trenches, as they fell from exhaustion. There are 2000 sick in Guantanamo suffering from dis eases increased by hunger.
 The French cruiser Rigault was re- fused permission by Admiral Sampson to land grain and provisions for the relief of the French colony at Guam tanamo. All hope was abandoned and the sufferers were awaiting death from starvation The conditions of Guam tanamo, Colonel Resell says, arc worse than those at Santiago.
 Lieutenant Colonel Evans of the Ninth infantry. received the surrender of Guantanamo. The Spanish troops will remain in the town until trans ported.

SOME RUMoRs THAT
 ARE STRONGLY DENIED
United States Has Broken No Faith In Peace Negotiations. and Does Not
 Intend 10 Do So.

Washington, July 29.-It can be stated on authority at the state depart. ment and at the foreign embassies here that there were no oyertures in behalf of Spain for peace or a cessation of hos tllities until the French ambassador last Tuesday afternoon presented his note to the president. This statement is made with full knowledge of European de. nlals and must be accepted as that of the government of the United States. Therefore all of the talk about bad faith shown by our government i'll pressing the Porto Riesn campaign during the last few Gays is absolutely without foundation, and our government has done nothing that can subject it to criti- elsm on this score. In addition to the representations of the United States government, the persons qualified to speak for the government of Spain in this country make an exactly similar statement, and it is alleged that charges of bad faith against the United States. attributed to Premier Sagasta, are dis credited and are inventions designed to prejudice the successful progress of the present peace movement
 It could not be contemplated for mo- ment that any mere personal exchange of views between persons in Europe could be construed as an overture for peace, and although there may have been some of this back door gossip," it can be again affirmed that the United States government has not been a party to it.
 So far as Ambassador Cambon is con- cerned, it can be stated positively that he made no oyertures, directly or indi- rectly, officially or unoficially, relating to peace, or to any phase of peace, prior to last Tuesday afternoon.
