Cuba's Unfortunate Patriots.

HAVANA, March 4.-The Cuban AS
sembly has requested the newspaper
men Of Havana, "upon their honor as
journalistsa and good, patriotic Cubans," !"
not to publish anything they may learn
re garding the Assembly's secret ses-
sions, thinking that public knowledge
of what is doing may be used against
the Assembly in it's subsequent deal
ings with the United States" This, it
is claimed, shows that no Individual
member of the Assembly trusts another.
Last night there was much mysteri-
GUS cafe whispering. 1t seems that a
considerable portion OF the time during
the sessions Of the Assembly is spent
in insulting Americans and Gen. Go
mez, and in personal collisions between
the members. They also, it is added,
accuse each other of accepting bribes
from the United States, which accusa-
tions were followed by threatened
duels on the adjournment.
In addition to this the Cuban AS
scmbly consider that the planting OF
General Fitzhugh Lees flagstaff four
metres deep IN the ground isa sure
sign of the continuance OF the Amerl-
can occupation Of the island. These
reports, arising from the prolonged and
boisterous secret sessions, have made
the doings of the Cuban Assembly the
joke of Havana.
Any rumors discreditablc to the
American military authority assiduons-
ly reported.
No immediate solution OF the matter
OF the payment OF the Cuban army Is
in sight. Gen. Gomez has not submlt-
ted to Governor General Brooke the
details regarding the Cuban army ne
cessary to enable tile latter to perfect
plans for the payment OF the soldiers.
The Cuban Military Assembly is spend
ing it's timcin Il discussion of thcmystc-
rious loan OF S1a, 100000, for which, it is
reported, those lending the money will
ask sec, 900, 900 in payment. Gen. Gomez
does not attend the meetings Of the
Assembly, and apparently ignores that
body, which las not yet decided ot1icl-
ally to accept the &3,000,000 from the
United States. Meantime, the first in
stallmcnt of the American money is
promised.
About2 per cent. of the canned meat
issued to the relief stations Tor distri-
button to the destitute is said to be
spoiled, as is also a quantity of canned
fish, tomatoes and baking powder.

The Constabulary Force.

COLUMBIA, March 2.-There is just
now considerable interest being taken
in the matter OF the State constables.
The constabulary force now is as large,
or larger, than it has ever been. To-
days official record shows that there
are sixty-two constables on the pay
roll Of the State dispensary-counting
the three in the Pcnitentiary under
charges of killing Mrs. Stuart.
The force seems to have been grow
ing slowly, but surely, within the last
few months. There seems to have been
no special demand for the increase, but
it has grown day by day because of a
request here and there for constable
and the tremendous pressure ON the
Governors Office for places OH the
force. There must be fully five hum
dred applicants constantly trapping at
the door for places on the force.
There is thought to be demand for
all of the constablcs on the force by
those having the matter in hand, other
wise they would not be appointed.
In Charleston and Columbia there is
very little anention paid to working up
cases through the constablrs, rs it is
said that it does not pay, so little is
the prospect of Il conviction. In
Charleston and Columbia and some
other places the constablcs arc used
almost entirely for the seizure of liquor
at the railroad and express offices, and
to make raids.
Without any allowance for. .lexpcnse
accounts, the constabulary must cost
at least $1a5 a day.-Special to News
and Courier.

Severe Hail Storm And Cyclone.

gibson, n. c., March 3-'lllc upper
edge Of Marlboro county near this place
was visited bya terrible hail storm and
cyclone between 4 and ) o'clock this
afternoon. The hail stones were of
enormous size; the larger ones We're by
actual measurement found to be ten
inches in circumference. Window
glasses were shattered, shingles on the
houses were split and quite number
of fowls were killed.
The path of the cyclone was 30 to 75
yards wide, and so far as heard from
about three miles long.
Itdestroyed several tenement houses
OIL Mr.. J. d. Jones place, severely
damaged hisresidcncc, and completely
demolished the residence of Mr.. Joseph
Newton. Mr.. Newton himselfwas bad
ly injured.
1t next struck Mr.. C. D. Newton's
residence, but no one was injured.
Several tenement houses on the plan
tation of n. T. and +. G.. Fletcher were
wrecked. No one was injured there.
Owing to interference in telephone
connections / am unable to ascertain
further damages. No wind here, but
considerable damage from the hail.
BENSETTsvILLE, March 3.-A violent
wind storm or tornado passed through
the Brightsville and Adamsville sec
tions of our county late this afternoon,
doing considerable damage. Several
houses were overturned and a child OF
Mr.. E. B. Godllin was seriously hurt.
The tornado travelled in an easterly
direction.-Spccial to Tie State.

The Religious Press and the Killing.
These. blunt and strong words arc
from the Baptist Courier:

These. blunt and strong words arc
from the Baptist Copicr:
We never have admired the dispen-
saly law, Notwithstanding thcrc are
some good features belonging to it.
Unpopular to start with, occurrences
like that in Columbia have brought
this law into even greater disrepute.
The constabulary will in the end do
much towards the repeal OF the law.
Guns and pistols are put intothe hands
of irresponsible and unreliable men
and they shoot recklessly in the dark
ness and kill inottensiye citizens on the
highway; they shoot into the door OF
mans residence, in the dark, and kill
his wife, and might have killed his in
nocent children. tits time for some OF
these killing constables to suffer for
their reckless shooting. Some OF them
ought to have suffered, perhaps the eX
treme penalty of the law, for some OF
thellillings already passed. The courts
and the governors were entirely too
lcnient in these cases and that has led
to other and repeated bloodshed on the
part of the constables. It is time for
this reckless shooting and ineNcusable
killing in thenamc of the law to cease.
This is a good time to make a change.
Some hanginss are needed and would
be very wholesome.
1t is time for those in authority to
learn that our people will not quietly
submit to have their private residences
searched by these constables. Very
few people will peaceably allow it.
Those who are charged with the en-
forcement OF this law might as well
recognize this as an established fact
and instruct their suborlinates accor-
dinghy. That provision of the law
which gives the constables the right to
search private residences has made the
dispensary law particularly obnoxious,
and has caused much trouble and
bloodshed, and the general impression
