The Lowry Round Cotton Bale

There was filed with the county
clerk Yesterday an abstract copy of
charter of the Tennessee Planters
Company, capitalized for one mil.
lion dollars, the same having been
lately recorded with the secretary
of state at Nashville.
A full meeting of the directors of
both this company and the Arkau-
sas company was held at their office
in the Cotton Exchange. All par
ties hold same Office in both compa-
nies. The directors are Messrs. ].
I. Fargason, Napoleon Hill, John
w. Dillar1, o. B. Polk and Jerome
Hill. Mr., Jerome Hill is president,
o, B. Palk treasurer and Mr.. Nc
Neil Bond secretary. All interested
are greatly pleased oyer the pro-
gress being made in introducing this
system in this great cotton district.
The presses that have been installed
have proven all that is claimed for
the Lowry bale.
Shipments of this cotton are be-
ing made to both eastern and Euro
pean mills. The interest manifest
ed by cotton producers, dealers and
transportation companies is exceed
ingly gratifying to the company.
Both companies are now ready for
business, and it is their intention to
push the introduction of this press
throughout the states of Mississippi
Tennessee, Arkansas and a large
portion of the Indian Territory, and
Missouri; not only for this crop, but
for crop of 1899.
Many presses will be placed this
season, as its being small machine
and simple in construction, same
can be installed in ginneries in six
days.-Memphis Commercial-Ap-

Regarding any representations from the
European powers with the view to pre-

he regarded such a prospect as entirely
out Of the question. It was absurd to sup
pose that England would join in such ac-

towards the United States II was equal
ly absurd TO suppose that, with Eng
land standing out, any other group Of
powers would make such representations.
Continuing, Sir Charles said that the
practical alternatives likely to confront
the United States were to either set up a

said If the United States found itself IN
possession Of a great colony where there
had been an insurrection against misgov-

The Spanish officer Who InsuIted

From Assauiting the Prisoner.

Key West, May 5.-When fate threw
Col. Vincent Cortijo into the hands of the
cruiser Nashville. by the capture of the
Argonauta, it gave to one of the Span

be revenged.
The pilot of the Nashville was Alfredo
Laborde, the captain of the filibustering
ship Competitor, who was captured by
the Spaniards. Laborde, together with
the rest of the crew, was imprisoned IN
the Cabanas prison, where Col. Cortijo
was the commandant. When Laborde
was brought before the Spanish officers,
the latter heaped insults upon him and
spat in his face. After the Cuban's re-
lease, through the efforts OF the Govern
ment, he Joined the insurgent army for a
time. and eventually came to Key West.
where he became the NashviIIe's pilot
when the feet sailed TO blockade Cuba.
Spat i'm Cortijo's Face.
AS soon as the prisoners were taken
from the Argonauta and put on board the
Nashville, Laborde recognized his enemy
and became beside himself with rage

of Cortijo.

"Then, perhaps this will make You,

1t was said here tonight that LabOrde's

ment in regard to the receipt of news
about Dewey's losses at Manila. or that
he had received any word from Washing
ton about it. The story sent declares
that he secured 1t from naval officers who
had always been trustworthy in their
statements.
What induced many here to believe it
was the curious fact that two days before
the news of the great hurricane at Samoa
was received by way of Auckland a ru-
NOR was current in Chinatown that a big
fight had occurred between German and
American naval vessels at Apia and that
several ships had been sunk and many
were killed. This rumor could not be
verified, but ii was printed as a wild car
nard and two days later came the official
news of the great loss by the hurricane.

Should that news be known to the Span
iards the heroic man who dashed into
Havana province, where thousands of
Spanish soldiers are swarming would
probably have been caught and killed.
When the news of his safe return was re-
ceived this morning great joy was felt
among the Cubans.
The American envoy sent by Gen. Miles
to Cuba returns successfully with an an
swer from the Cuban army. Col. Acosta
met Gen. Alexandra Rodriguez at his
camp, some twenty miles west of Havana.
Gen. Maya Rodriguez, commander of the
Cuban army in Pinar del Rio province
was also there, having crossed the Juca-
ro-Moron trocha few days ago to Join
with his forces any army that should in
vest Havana by land. 1t can be said
now that the Cuban army in the west is
at this moment perfectly instructed as to
what they have to do in order to cooper

II do not think there is a single dis
interested man in Europe who believes
that the United States will have any
right to a war indemnity If Spain should
get out of Cuba. To ask for a war in
demnity from Spain would be odious. No
member of the American Cabinet dreams
of demanding indemnity. The conscience
of the civilized world revolts against
such a demand Germany asked in

pushed her to war. yet Germany is re-
