THE KILLING AT HAMLET.
Republicans Attempting to Make Politi-
cal Capital of IT.

To the Editor: The article in
your paper giving an account OIL
the killing of the negro Manly
Williams here in Hamlet by }. X. BROOKS
does my brother and myself an injustice.
The article stated that Mr.. Brooks gave
himself up to the authorities. This was
a mistake. Mr. Brooks did give himse'r
up to some of his friends, but later de-
cided to put himself out of the way
until court. or at least until further de-
veopments in the case.
There are various reports of the killing
being circulated for political purposes cal
culated and intended to injure my broth
or. who is marshal of the town, and
myself. Republicans say that we are
making no effort to apprehend Mr..
Brooks My brother and myself stand
ready at all times to uphold the law.
But when matters are conducted as was
that coroner's inquest VIC decline to train
with such men and such methods of try
ing good men, The Republican coroner
took pains to hunt up four Republicans
and one negro on his jury of inquest
and only two Democrats though there
were plenty of intelligent white men who
would have served.
1t is further reported that it was a
case of cold-blooded murder. This might
be true according to the testimony OF
negroes. always reckless when swearing
against whites. The white men who
saw the encounter state that the negro
was attacking Mr.. Brooks with an open
knife at the time he was shot.

Lieutenant Colonel Carbonne's Letter to Quesada
Laid Before Alger, Who Promises Re-
lief for the Suffering through
Commission at Havana.

Washington, ID. c., November 4.-The
following letter from Lieutenant Colonel
Carbonne, of the Cuban army. now at
Havana, has been received by Secretary
Quesada, of the Cuban Delegation here,
who has laid it before Secretary Alger
with an urgent request that steps be
taken to relieve the extreme distress 1t
sets forth. Lieutenant Colonel Carbonne
is the inventor of the explosive known
as Carbonite, and is regarded as the
representative at Havana of the Cuban
leaders and forces in the field.
He writes as follows, the letter bear
ing date of Havana, October 10Th:
II am just back from the camp of
General Menocal, chief OF our army in
this province, and let me tell you i'll

poor and suffering army and the conse-
quences that may come to the country

army is dying with hunger. Such terri
BILE words in no way exaggerate the ac-
tual conditions. General Menocal took
me to see his weak. tottering and
suualid sOldiers-made so on account of
the want of food and the actual necessa-
ries Of life-and to think that these
men were in such a state by reason
of obeying their chiefs. who desire first
of all to respect the orders of the Ameri-
can Government. The Cuban leaders in
camp told me to tell you that they will
maintain resigned and pacific attitude
and above all faith in the American Gov
ernment and the worthy President, Mr..
Mckinley. but at the same time. said
fhey. let it be understood that We are
hungry. that we have in the towns and
fields of Cuba all that is needed in the
way of food. but that we are forbidden
to touch it by reason of the peace or
DER They do not get from Havana
one-fourth of what they need. and our
soldiers are dying at the gates of the
CITY for lack of food. What shall we do!
The time will come when we cannot bear
If any longer. and then what will be the
result?"
sI returned disconsolate to Havana, and
tried to get succor, but the people are
already so poor that / obtained nothing.
We went to the American commission,
which received us very well and offered
MS much. but up to the present time
they have given us nothing. If by mis-
fortune we are driven by the necessities
of our army to get by force what we
need so as not to die Of hunger, will
the people of the United States condemn
rs. or will the nations of the world
which do not know what is happening.
Judge us unworthy Of the sympathy OF
the American people? We are very happy
to hear your assurances as to our repub-
l;n yVa have never dOubtpd the good
faith and generosity Of the United States.
To it we owe the complete liberty which
we have been unable in many years to
establish by ourselves"
Secretary Alger said that he would
look into the matter, and would tcle-
graph the commission at Havana such
instructions as We're appropriate to the
case.

This dispatch of NJ. Cambon, as the
Spaniards claimed to-day, embodied also
the view that the United States had no
valid basis for claims in the archipelago.
1t was further held to-day by Senor
Rios and his colleagues that the capitu-

the signing of the protocol, and thus
after the suspension of hostilities, was
invalid.

With all this for ground work, the
Spaniards made their first positive move
against the Americans, and it constitu-

charged upon the United States a
wrongful appropriation of public moneys
belonging to Spain by seizing the tariff
duties at Manila and they formally de-
manded the return of these moneys, in
the sum of nearly million dollars.
