LIVE STOCK EXHIBIT.
Biooded Stock at the Fair Grounds
 Attracts Attention.

The live stock exhibiC at the State Fair, while not very extensive. makes up in quality what it lacks in numbers.
 The exhibit is greatly superior to what it was last year. and as the Fair grows older in years, the live stock feature will no doubt increase in number and interest. There are several exhibits this year from otber counties than Jefferson. The exhibits in this department are as follows
 Mir. c. A. Pratt, of Little Rock, has on exhibition very fine herd of Jerseys; also a stable of fine Shet- land ponies.
 Col R. M. Knox exhibits two fine Jersey COWS, one of which wears a blue ribbon.
 Mr. J. W. Allen exhibits a pair of beautiful Shetland ponies.
 Mir W. H. Hinkle, of Bearden, exhibits a fine and pedigreed PoIand-China hog, the weight of which is 445 pounds.
 Mr l. N. Eason exhibits a Poland China hog, weight 800 pounds.
 Mir. L. o. Knox exhibits a fine Poland China hog.
 Mr. Tom Atkinson exhibits pedigread and thoroughbred bull.
 The awards were made in this de- partment Wednesday, but the re. porter failed to get the list from the judges.

 This will be interesting news to Fair visitors Wednesday. Certain 1t is that if Gov. Jones and Mayor Woodson were present, they were presentin the spirit and rot in the flesh, and their spirit-voices were speeches.. Gov. Jones was detain- ed at Little Rock on account of official business and Mayor Wood son on account of the serious illness of his wife. But this serves to show the people how utterly unre- liable the big blankety Commercials reports are and hare been of the Fair during it's progress.

WAS LITTLE ROCK DAY AT
 THE STATE FAIR.
Over Five Hundred Rose Citians in Attendanee-The Largest Gate Receipts Since the 0pen-

Wednesday was Little Rock Day at the State Fair and it was a glo- rious day.
 All nature smiled on the Little Rockians, and after the bIustery weather of the day previous, Wednesday opened bright, mlld and clear, and the verylelements were propitious.
 The largest body of visitors from the Capital City came in on the Iron Mountain at 10:4O a. m. There were 260 visitors on board by actual count. The Cotton Belt train did not arrive until after II o'clock, be- ing detained at Little Rock until g a. m. This tram carried two special coaches across each of which was streamer, reading Little Rock Board of Trade Pine Bluff Excur- sion. The Cotton Belt was select ed as the official route of the Little Rock Board of Trade and carried President Morris M. Cohn, Secreta- " Hardness, the First Regiment Band, and others.

Fears Americans in Cuba Will
Start Riotous Demonstrations.

WASHINGTON, March 29.-Assistant
Secretary Day said that there was no
basis for the reports that riots and
disturbances We're threatened in Ha-
vana The State Department posted
the following statement
"A telegram from General Lee shows
there is no occasion for the alarming
reports as to the situation in Havana" P"
1t appears, however, that Captain
General Blanco has sent communica-
ton to Washington, in which he says
he believes that a demonstration may
be precipitated at any moment by an
element made up of certain Americans
of strong anti-Spanish tendency now at
Havana. General Blanco states that he
does rot fear any disturbances and
riots coming from the Cuban people.
The suggestion that the Weyler ele-
ment is threatening riots is emphatic-
ally repudiated by the Captain General.
General Blanco expresses complete con,
fidence in his ability to preserve quiet
among the native people He is con-
vinced, he says, that a riotOus demon
strati0n at Havana. amounting to an
overt act designed to precipitate war
between the United States and Spain is
being Systematically fomented by a
certain class of American citizens.
Blanco clearly and unequivocally de-
cIares that the presence of American
correspondents in Cuba makes the sit
uation, in his view, more critical.

An Interesting Feature Of the Tes-

WASHINGTON, March 29.-An in
teresting feature of the published re-
port Of the Maine testimony issued
from the Government printing office to-
day was the famous anonymous letter
mentioned in the testimony Of Henry
Drain, clerk of the American Consulate
at Havana. The letter was received by
General Lee a few days after the Maine
disaster. 1t was dated February IS,
1898, and signed AN Admirer." 1t
was in Spanish, written by a fairly
we'll educated person.
The letter stated that at dawn OF the
day of the Maine disaster a small boat
was seen cruising about the Alfonso
XII. and the Maine in which were
three harbor thieves These men were
ch&Tged with doing the work 10 5cinG
on the explosion for which they were
said to have received $1,000.
