Selma Ala, June 2-Oyer Selma hangs
an air If suspense and anxiety for the fate
of the three young men of this COM
munity who are with Roosevelt's Rough
Riders at Santiago.
When the news of the battle of LaQua-
sina reached here the parents and friends
of the young men were much in fear of
their safety and it was with the utmost
impotence that the arrival of The Age

less and patriotic and no doubt distin-

TIE PANTHER
At NEW YORK
Brought Seven Spanish Mines
From the Bay of
Guantanamo.

New York, June 2s.-The United States
steamer Panther, Commander George C.
Reter, arrived from Guantanamo bay to-
day to be supplied with a battery.
The Panther left New York on April %
with the first marine battalion, who were
the first troops of the war despatched
south. The marines were landed at Camp
McCalla on June 10. The fighting at Camp
McCalla began on the afternoon of the
18th. The Panther's two 3-inch rifle field
guns did excellent service in securing the
wods with shrapnel.
The death of Sergeant-Major Goode was
a most affecting one. He was shot through
the body just above the hips. He was at
should not have been, but in his ardor
he had been wholly forgetfu of danger.
Just after the shot passed through him,
he turned to the men and said: LET me
get to my post" and fell over dead.
The Panther brought with her seven
Spanish mines, taken from the Bay of
Guantanamo. They are bell shaped, about
four feet long and three feet in diameter
at the widest part They are intended to
be discharged by contact and arms extend
from the sides, which cover a plunger,
which when driven in explodes the gun cot
ton. Barnacles had grown all over these,
SO that when the Marblehead caught one
ON her propeller the plunger was prevented
from moving by becoming damned by the
barnacles. Otherwise the mine would have
exploded as the gun cotton was in perfect
condition. 1t was the barnacles that saved
the Texas.

Washington, June 2S.-It was stated at
the war department today that Major
General J. S. Wade, commanding the third
army corps at Chickamauga. would be in
charge Of all the men at that place when
General Brooke and General Wilson pro-
coed to Tampa. This they are to do with
the fifteen regiments which have been des-
ignated to be ready to move at the short
est possible notice. The probability is
these regiments will not be sent to Tampa
for some days as their original orders con-
templated that hey should not move be-
fore eight or ten days, there being no ne
cessity for their presence at the Florida
port before that time.

San Francisco, June 2S.-Mayor Phelan

words attributed to him in responding to
a toast at private dinner given in his

ton of additional territory, representing
the outlying islands that are requisite for

ENLIGHTENMENT AND
FALSE .PRETENSE
D. A. BupTll Arrested on These Two
Charges.

Alleged by E. M. Barker That He Embez-
zl6d Property to Amount Of $t,7OO.

BurreI Says He Guaranteed to Cut So Much

and De Failed to Pay
the Royalty
1E is A BIG LUMBER AGENT
GAINED $500 BY FALSE PRETENSE

D. A. Burrel was arresaed by Officer
Nix at his office in First avenue late yes
terday afternoon under two warrants. One
charged him with the embezzlement of val
liable property to the amount of 81, 700 and
the other with obtaining $500 under false
pretenses.
The warrants were sworn out by e.. NJ
Barker, a prominent citizen and the attor-
ney for the Louisville and Nashville rail-
road at Biloxi, Miss. Burrell lis in the
office of the Randolph Patton Lumber COM
pany and had a contract to operate a
large saw mill works of which Mr.. Barber
is president. From this the trouble is sup
posed to have arisen.
Burrell has only been in Birminghahm
since the breakipng out of yellow fever at
McHenry. Miss. He claims that he had
contract with the lumber company to
run it and pay a royalty on its daily OUT
put at so much per thousand feet. He also
guaranteed to cut a certain amount of lum-
ber The output fell short and he only paid
a royalty on the actual output. In this
way he accounts for the first charge. OF
the second he processes to know nothing.
On the other hand, Mr.. Barker contends
to have conclusive evidence and has re-
tanned Attorney John w. Tomlinson. to
represent his interests. Mr.. Turrell has re-
tanned Judge Howe as counsel.
Judge Martin last night fixed the bond In
each case at $500. Mr.. Burrell failed to
have the amount carried and at an early
hour this morning was still in the city
iail.

fourths of a pound. Soldiers usually
spread their supply of fresh meat over the
entire ration period and take little salt
meat as desired
1t is entirely within the discretion of the
commanding officer to make the ration en-
tirely of fresh meat If the special service
in which the troops are engaged makes
fresh meat more suitable for them than
salt meat. General Alger points out that
this arrangement is based on long expert
ence. He says he would not have noticed
the interview except that it was likely to
convey an erroneous impression to the
public concerning the care with which our
soldiers are being clothed and fed.

Special Dispatch to The Age-Herald.
Selma, June 2S.-The jury in the case
of Bette Harris, a negro woman, charged
with the murder of John Wood returned
a verdict this morning of not guilty after
being out only a few seconds.
One Saturday night, more than a year
ago, John Wood and two companions, Tay-
lor and ZIMMERMAN started to their home
in Autauga county. They took with them
Bette Harris and another negro woman.
The whole crowd was drinking, and when
about four miles from the city pistol

killing him instantly his bodily falling from
the wagon to the ground.
Bette Harris came back to Selma and
reported the case. She was arrested and
an attempt made to fasten the killing OF
the young man on her. But the evidence
was such that the jury returned verdict

ALGER REPLIES TO PlNGREE

Washington, June 2S.-Secretary Ayers
attention was directed today to a published
interview in which Governor Pngree. of
Michigan, crticises the ''sow belly" fur
nished to our troops and the heavy and I'M
seasonable clothing they were obliged to
wear. The secretary said he was surprised
to hear such statements attributed to the
governor, as the latter was at the war de-
partment not long ago and spoke encour-
agingly concerning the troops, except that
he insisted that there should be regimental
hospitals.
AS to the hospital the secretary said he
had left that subject to the surgeon gen.
eral of the army, whose judgment is relied
upon in matters relating to the medical and
surgical branches of the service. Concern
ing the criticisms on unreasonable clothing
Secretary Alger says light summer clothing
is being made as fast as possible and an
auxiliary cruiser will take to Santiago
sufficient supply for all troops now oper-
ating there. He expects to have the entire
army clothed in the summer suits at an
early date.

HAS LITTLE EFFECT.
War Possibilities Do Not Prevent In
creased Activity in Most Lines
of Business.

New York, May al r. G.. Dun 81
Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
Growing accustomed to war possibil-
tiles, which are mostly far from proba-
bilities of evil, and finding the nation
moving along steadily in its industries,
people are grasping the idea that 1T is
throwing away some months OF active
and profitable life to wait until war
clouds have passed. Western prosperity
has so greatly overbalanced timidity of
eastern capital that actual business
done increases; railroad earnings
promise better for May than month
ago for April, and payments through
clearing houses for the week in May
show gain of 36 per cent. over last
year and rs per cent over 1892, while
month ago the increase over last year
was 1876, and compared with 1892 there
was decrease of To per cent. Several
large contracts kept back for some
weeks because of hostilities have now
been placed, and, instead of works clos
ing or reducing force, returns show the
starting of some works long idle and in
crease of force or of hours at others.
Government work occupies many estab-
lishments, but it counts for little COM
pared with other demands. The key of
the situation is the prosperity of the
west, which altogether unprecedented
marketing of breadstuffs has caused,
with the prospect of good crops to
come. These prospects and actual re-
ceipts of wheat, amounting to 5,876,716
bushels for the week against 2,439, 1859
last year, with advances also in other
grain and cattle, have produced a de-
mand for rails, cars, car materials, fenc
ing, agricultural implements, boots and
shoes and all textile goods, which was
not anticipated from eastern indica-
tons. Failures for the week have been
$50 in the United States, against 24S last
year, and 20 in Canada, and against 81
last year."

building, and it was nearly four hours
before the flames were under control.
Robinson Locke's celebrated collection

both properties are fairly well insured.
Other losses were light. The total will
probably reach 100000.

IN CUBA.
A Large Body of Volunteers Leave Port
Tampa and Have Landed on the
Shores of Cnba.

Washington, May 23.-Unless some
accident has befallen the United States
transport Florida there are now United
States volunteer troops on the island
of Cuba, or they will be there within a
few hours. From information obtained
yesterday, it can be stated as fact
that the first expedition toward Cuban
soil has started and the outlook is for
successful trip.
Wednesday,, May IS, the United
States transport Florida left North
Tampa with several hundred volun-
teer troops on board. The passengers
belonged to the regiment of Cuban
volunteers organized in the lower ex-
tremity of Florida some weeks ago.
1t was thought best to send these men,
as they speak Spanish and are more
acquainted with the topography of the
country which it is proposed to invade.
1t cannot be learned what United
States officers accompanied the regi-
ment of volunteers. If this expedition
is a success, other troops will be rushed
into the island as soon as possible.
