Hit Two Coons with One Bullet,

Sam Prewitt is one of Pat Henry )
Vicksburg colored constituents. Just
before the colored excursion train left
on the return trip to Yicksburg Aons
day night, Sam saw his girl talking to
another coon. Without stopping to ask
for explanations, he pulled his gun and
blszed away at the woman. The ball
missed her, but it took off section OF
Joe Smiths nose, then imbedded itself
in Will Madison's thigh. During the
commotion Prewitt escaped, but if he
COOS back to Vicksburg the negroes:
propose to hang him-not because OF
this row, but on general principles.

Of Green-yllle, tor it hath been told me that
the Catch-lugsites are loaded forme, and can
not answer the questions they may put to me
about that cussed rooster / wore up there two
years ago.
81 But they comforteth him, saying, That's
all right, old boy, just dodge Green-ville and
we will send Ba-Iee there and thou maye,t
go again into the bushes, where 1t is muchly
safer for thee
80 And 10, a thing like unto q miracle was
done, for Patti was Instantly cured OF the dread
disease called physical exhaustion, and he rose
mp and went into the bushes and prsnced gaily
about, yea, even like unto bob-tnil bull in
fly time.
80 But the iiggo was up for Pau and Anse and
the kickers, for the day ofrcckoning was near.
40 And it came to pass that all the tribes as
sembed at the places called polls, and each
did have a wee slyp of paper upon which was
printed name, and upon the greatest number
of these slyps was the name of Tom, he Of tho
house Of CRtch-Ings
Al And the tribes did slyp these slyps into
box called the ballot box; and because Of the
fact that some of the followers ofPatt were very
slippery customers, close watch was kept
upon the bal-lot box, that these sIyps did not
slyp away
AZ But it was not very slippery day, except
for Patt, who WAS fast slipping into place
called Po-Lit-I-Cal Oblivion.
! 43 And when the counters and the scrbes had
cast up the ballots and made true number
thereof, 10 and behold Patt was not in it, and
we say unto thee that from the beginning his
chances had been the same as that Of feather
IN the place called hudes.
| Al They carried the news to Pat, whose
name was now Dennis, and he was much cast
down in spirit And they said unto him, My
/ brother, we bring thee sad udings, for the
Catch-Ingsites arose in their highland smote
thee hip and thigh, yea, even unto the bosom
ofthy pantaloons, and thou was not In it, not
by a damste,
As And Patti tore his raiment and smote him
self upon his breast and hireth a mule to KICK
him, and he bewalled unto himself thusly
' G Wo ismc How many kinds of a damphool

THE MESSAGE ON MONDAY.

Washington, March 23.-Speaking Of
the Cuban situation The Post says:
Having formulated no plan to solve the
problem and being anxious to gain all
the time possible. the president will not
Immediately make any suggestion to
congress. The message which he will
send In on Monday will treat alone Of
the Maine. and congress will be informed
that the president will at later date
communicate with IL on the Cuban sit
uation. I4& report on the Maine and
the accompanying papers will. there
fore, be at once referred in both houses
to the committee on foreign affairs, and
then congress will patiently await the
presidents next recommendation. II
the policy of relief be finally agreed
upon, an appropriation will undoubtedly
be made for the purchase of supplies,
and the work of wholesale succor will be
entered upon. IL Spain should regard
this actas hostile all the responsibility
for provoking the war would be on her
side.
THE president still hopes that In the
meantime something may occur to di-
minish the likelihood of opposition II
the program is inaugurated and that
Spain will accept the action of the
United States in a friendly spirit. 1t
Is felt shat this policy would be more
effective and open to less objection
than the recognitionof independence. for
the reason that after this recognition
had been granted and the struggle be-
tween the Cubans and Spaniards was
progressing. the starving thousands
would continue to slarve II war comes
therefore. 1t would be a war for the sake
Of humanity and 1t would be the only
way In which war could come that would
command united appreciation both In
this country and in the rest of the
world"
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1898-03-23

Within the last few days a sentiment
has been steadily growing that the court
has been unable to determine definitely
the cause of the explosion. Still, il is
true that majority hold to the con-
viction that the report will find and
prove that the Maine was blown up in
tentionaliy. AS is natural, all who could
speak authoritatively continue to MAIN
tain the silence which has marked the
history OF this most remarkable court.
In the absence of reliable basis spec
ulation continues rife as ever; and ac-
curate news from Washington is await
ed as eargely by Rear Admiral Sicard
as by the youngest cadet in the fleet.
The sending of the report to Washing
ton proved an undramatic climax TO
weeks of waiting. The commander went
aboard the Nashville early in the day
and brought Off the findings. After
prolonged conference with Rear Ad-
miral Sicard certain alterations were
made. and then the rear admiral af-
fixed his signature of approval. After
luncheon Lieutenant Commander Mark
boarded the steamer City OF Key West
and sailed for Miami. Only two persons
were on the wharf to wave farewells
to the steamer.
Lieutenant Commander Mark, before
leaving. was In non-committal mood
He confined himself to saying that he
was intensely glad to be through with
the very tedious work and once more
to be on the way north. Despite the
absence from Key West of the docu-
ments on which the eyes OF the world are
fixed. the court of inquiry continues in
existence, though inactive. Should the
navy department require further inyes-
tigation and express dissatisfaction With
the findings, 1t is probable the court
would be obliged to return to Havana.
though the release OF an the Maine
officers held here as witnesses, which
was ordered Tuesday, makes 1t unlikely
that any loophole has been left which
would justify the department in re-
quirfng the court to perform further
work. From statements made here the
conclusion is drawn that the findings
will be given to the public in about a
week.
