Havana, August Ain an interview

who had deputed them to assassina;e
Jiminez. They informed JimineZ's
friends of the plot, n a counterpart
was successfully organized for the as
s~assination Of Heureux.
JimineZ displayed a cipher cablegram
which he received from an agent In
Santo Domingo this morning. which
reads as follows:
Revolution commences today in Da-
jabon. Send definite answer when you
will arrive. Must be as early as pos
sible. FRANCO"
Jiminez has replied:
BE there by last Of month, with par
ty. Delay SO as to avoid bloodshed.

entire coast OF Cuba and the Isle OF

Jiminez is said to be backed by CO.

His plan is to land with a party of
Americans on the coast with a quantity
OF arms n ammunition and then pro-

Comparison as to Revenue

Mr.. E. P. Cathron, of Alabama,
claims cotton put up in round bales
will not net the farmer as much as in
standard square bales 24x54.
l have been operating this size press
for twenty-five years,and it has always
given perfect satisfaction.
l heartily ~disapprove the methods Of
the round bale trusts. A 5000 bale
ginner operating one of the round bale
presses would in ten years collect from
his farmer1patrons and pay the round
bale people $50, 5000 rental ON one of
their presses, the actual cost of which
I estimate to be not more than $500. 00.
They agree, however, to give this
amount back to the glnners' patrons in
the price of cotton, so packed, as COM
pared with the same grade of cotton
put up in the old style. Will they
fulfill this promise, and how long will
they do so? They claim that cotton
| put up I'M round bales, on account of
the density, less insurance, ETC., is
worth As cents per hundred pounds
more than it is put up in the old style
bale. Their determinations, as I I'M
derstand the matter, are not against
the 24x54 standard bale, but against
the old style, irregular size bale.
Let us stop and figure what there
really is in the so-called As cents per
hundred pound increase in the price
of cotton, and not accept without Ques-
tioning the seemingly plausible calcu-
lations Of the round bale advocates.

Mr.. Allison has been making political
capital out Of the character and stand
ing of Alderman Ramey. The people
see this only too plainly. With the re-
lations social and business which Mr..
Ramey has with the whole people, 1t
should be patent to him that he can
never reach an ideal position in public
life or hope 10 reach the high rung in
the ladder Of composite personal esteem,
80 long as he is burdened with Mr.. ALI
sons pretended friendship. He is look
ed upon in public life as capable and
valuable to the business life OF the city,
and whatever his regard for Mr.. Allison
may be in private life, mill stone
could not be xeighter around his neck
than any assumption Of his fallacioua
public positions.
The daily sentinel., 1899-03-31

What does it mean that capital should
be xiven notice that "man lacks either
brains or money" to invest money in
hotel in this city? II there il not a
field for hotel in this city, there is no
field in tho state. How many times
have the people of this city been given
notice that IL they had adequate hotel
Accommodations the tourist trade to the
city would be doubled. Have you ever
heard the reputation this city enjoys on
its hotel accomodationsf The next time
you have opportunity ask the travelling
representatives who visit here regarding
the reputation this city enioys as hotel
town. 1t certainly is deadener to on
terprise and to capital to be told that If
a man invests in hotel property here. he
"either lacks brains or money"

Have you noticed the noise made by
several small people in the last few days
They have been given a few dollars to
bet on Mr.. Allison. This is considered
good campaign feature. Have you
again noticed how quietly the candidates
against Mr.. Allison and his ticket are
working. A few small people with .
few dollars san mako much noise, but
they make no votes or control none, in
many instances not even their own.

In 1892 -93 the old rattletrap hotel
made profit per month ranging from six
to eight hundred dollars. That would
be excellent returns on $4,000 invest
ment in q new hotel Yet man "lacks

The fact is the man who made such

the present campaign. To fx them
thoroughly before you we will set them
Oh by themselves.

psrity have come under Mayor Elias ad-
ministration.
2. The people voted to forever settle
the water fight litigation, and several
who pledged themselves thus to do, re-
Dudiated their promises.
3. Mr.. Allison's organ has openly
stated that the propositions for sewers,
was "fake sewer scheme"
4. A man "lacks either brains or
money" who invests in a hotel in Grand
junction, il their last intelligent sally to
invite capital.
5. The p ,ople want no more water
fights and years of litigation.

Mayor Ella is elected.
0. The city's credit is being impaired

Take up the sword and rifle.
Send forth your ships with speed,
TO Join the nations scramble
And vie with them In greed:
90 find your goods a market
Beyond the western food,
The heather who withstand you
Shall answer it in blood
Take up the sword and rife,
For 40 does all the world;
There's none shall dare upbraid you
When once your flags unfurled.
The race is to the swiftest,
The battle to the strong;
Success is the criterion,
None cares to count the wrong.
Take up the sword and rife.
And know no fear or panse,
What though your hands be bloody,
Who calls ye to the laws?
The Ports We wish to enter.
The roads ye wish to tread.
Make them with heather living.
Mark them with heather dead.
Take up the sw I'D and rifle,
Rob every savage race.
Annex their lands and narbors,
For this is Christian grace.
Zen though We slaughter thousands,
We still shall count it gain;
If ye extend your commerce,
Who breads the curse OF Cain?
Take up the sword and rife
Still keep your conscience whole
