TO CALL THE CUBANs.
That Is What tho United States May Have
to DO soon.

HAVANA, Cuba, Oct. 24.-Capt. Page
and Maj. Almy went to Cienfuegos to,
day to see what was troubling the in
surgents. From all parts of the island
comes reports that the insurgents are
becoming restive and impatient. A
significant fact is that the number of
Cuban warriors now in the field is
nearly double the number to be found
when the fighting was going on. In
the words of Gen. Dacasse, 1.-The proto-
col made many patriots Food is
scarce and the tension trying to the
nerves of men who expected before this
to be enjoying the fruits of victory won
by the Ameri ans. Unless the United
States makes show of force soon the
opinion of those best informed is that
he insurgents may precipitate trouble.

CHARLOTTE, n. C., Oct. "A special
to the Observer from Lumberton, N. c.,
says: "The expected riot between the
races at Ash Pole this county, Satur-
day night, was averted. A telephone
message from Ash Pole stated that a
crowd of mutinous negroes who had
been around the village all day, making
threats, had entered the village armed,
and the whites expected to be attacked
any minute, and asked that aid be sent.
Several men went down from here, and
as the negroes seemed to be quieting
down the whites dispersed, few
gathering around n small fire in the
center of the street as guard. About
3 o'clock several blacks slipped up near
the crowd and fred into them, wound.
ing three men, none seriously. They
then ran, and the whites wired to
Florence and procured bloodhounds,
which were met at Elrod by special
engine, which had them at Ash Pole by
10 o'clock. Immediately the dogs struck
hot trail, and by o'clock four blacks
had been caught. They were taken to
Ash Pole, and it is said have confessed
that they were in the crowd and have
implicated several others. some of whom
were caught This morning the sheriff
is hunting others. The captured ne
groes told who burned Stubb's store at
Ash Pole on Thursday night. The ne
groes are confined in Il box car at Ash
Pole and are well guarded. 1t is re-

other negroes have shot one of them.

FOREST, Miss, Oct, "a. 4.-Eleven dead
negroes, one dead white man and one
negro and three white men, seriously
wounded, is the result at this writing
OF the bloody war being waged between
the whites and blacks in the Harpers-
VILE neighborhood of this (Scott coun-
ty). Several OF the rioters have been
captured and lodged in Jail at Forest
today, but the Others escaped into the
swamps. Large crowds of white men
are in close pursuit, however. and more
names are hourly expected to be added
to the death list. The following is a
partial list of the killed.
Fish Burke, j. f. Gatewood, Henry
Anderson, John Gatewood, Hugh An.
derson, Sim lIaralson, Ben Iaralson,
| all negroes; W. II. Sibley, white.
The wounded: Ned Pace, negro;
James Hamilton, NJ. johnson and James
Armstrong, white.
1t is impossible to obtain full list of
the killed, for the reason that some of
the negroes were shot down in the
woods and hurredly buried by the
whites where they fell. A member of
the posse said that he helped bury three
negroes in trenches, but neither himself
nor any one in his crowd knew their
names, and they did not care enough
about them to inquire,
Chill for the Governor.
Gov. McLaurin went to Harpersville
last night and appealed to the whites
not TO molest the prisoners in the GUS
tody of the sheriff The governors talk
had good effect on the majority Of
those in the crowd, but some of the hot
headed members did not relish the gov
ernor's interference, and told him SO in
language more plain than polite. For
instance, at a poiLt in the governors
speech where he was emphasizing the
duty of every citizen to aid in the en-.
forcemeno of the law, one individual in
the audience yelled:
Governor, during the recent yellow
fever epidemic, when your services were
wanted at Jackson, you could not be
found. Where were you then? Now,
when your services are not needed, you
come and stick your nose into our bust
ness. Go back to Brandon
The governor paid no attention to the
remark, but continued his argument,
but finally persuaded the crowd to per-
NIT the sheriff to take the prisoners to
Jail. The governor returned to Bran
don this morning.

preliminary work on the Cristobal Co.
Ion, and that it would take at least
three weeks more before anything

appropriated 100000 for the raising of
the vessel, but it would be money well
spent, he said, if the experiment proves
a success. as the ship worth 81, 900, 000
The purpose of his visit to this coun-

secretary of the navy regarding further
work on the warships. He thought the
| Nizcaya could be saved, but would not
affirm it positively. She had settled in
the sand, which has formed a thick bed
around her. so that she is resting in an
easy position, but dry dock would
have to be built around her before she
could be raised. An appropriation Of
| 81, 900, 900 would cover the work of rails
ing the Vizcaya, and would enable the
government to bring her north and put
her into good condition. She cost
$1,000, 900.

Hobson, Il had fifty American laborers

and under proper supervision can ac-
complish good results.
There is a growing sentiment, ! find
among naval officers that every one OF

SOUTHERN GLEANINGS.


The venerable Henry O'Neill, a vet
eran of both the Mexican and civil
wars, in the latter of which he was a
captain, is, at 92 years OF age, the fa-
ther of his first child. He was mar
ried two years ago to Miss Mollie Ian
ahan, but before that he had been the
husband Of two wives, both of whom
died without leaving children. Miss
Lanahan was so when she became u
bride. Capt. O'Neill is hale and hearty,
in spite of his great age, and bids fair
to live to be 100. He was volunteer
in the Mexican war, but commanded
a company in the war between the
states. He served on the Louisville
police force until 20 years ago, when
he received a good pension from the
government.
Jews la the Uaitrd States Senate.
Says the New York Tribune: Sem
utor Simon, of Oregon, will not be the
first Jew to hold seat in the United

ceded him. The first was David L..
lulee, of Florida, whose fathers name
was Levy. He was elected a repre-
sentative in 1S4j as David Levy, but
when his term expired he had his
name change to David Levy Yulee.
The second Jewish senator was the
famous Judah p. Benjamin, of Lou
isiana, and the third was Benjamin
Franklin Jonas, of louisiana.

Capt. Joe Dye was shot and killed by

home from Lewisburg in a drunken
condition. He demanded that the old
man keep quiet, but the father ap-
preached him threatiagly, and was
shot through the head twice, causing
immediate death.
