Negro Miners Fired On At lsh-

THREE SUFFERED INJURY

Were Shot At from Ambush
Negroes Still Taking
Strikers Places
THREE SUFFERED INJURY

The first blood that has been caused at
Ishkooda by the strike which has been on
for several weeks among the ore miners at
that place, orrurred Tuesday night on the
road between Oxmoor and Ishkooda. AS
a result, Gus Miller, a negro boy who
drives a mule for the Robinson Mining COM
pany, was shot in the face with a load Of
birdshot, and very seriously wounded
George Brown and George Henry, two 9TH
er miners Of the company, were shot just
previous to this, but the charge did not
do them much injury.
According to the best information obtain
ed from Ishkooda, the two men had been
to Oxmoor buying provisions at the store,
and were on their way back to Ishkooda,
when, they claim, they were shot from am
bush by some unknown parties. They were
not seriously injured, and continued their
way toward Ishkooda. The boy left the
store short time afterward, and he was
ambushed and shot at the same place with
the men.

The True Relief,
RAILWAYS READY RELIEF
For Internal and External Use.


In using medicines to stop pain, we
should avoid such as infict injury on the
system. Opium, Morphine, Chloroform,
Ether, Cocaine and Choral stop pain by
destroying the sense of perception, the
patient losing the power of feeling. This
is a most destructive practice; it masks
the symptoms, shuts up and instead of re-
moving trouble breaks down the stom-
ach, liver and bowels, and, If continued Tor
a length of time kills the nerves and pro-
duces local or general paralysis
There is no necessity for using these I'M
certain agents when positive remedy like

Negro and White Man

Just before the two men left the store, it
is stated that negro and white man,
who are supposed to have done the shoot
ing, left the store together. This fact and
other strong 'circumstantial evidence, led
the deputies at 1shkooda to believe that Ri
ley Dumas, colored striker, was one of
the assailants, and he was accordingly ar
rested yesterday morning. Deputy jeff
Bryant brought the prisoner to the city yes
terday afternoon on the charge of carrying
concealed weapons, and warrants were also
sworn out against him by the two negro
men on the charge Of assault with intent to
murder. Dumas is at the county Jail. The
white man, who is supposed to have been
one of the ambushed men, is unknown
Notwithstanding the shooting, affairs at
Ishkooda yesterday were very quiet and
orderly, and the Robinson company con-
tinues increasing its output every day. Yes
terday morning sixty negroes were brought
to their mines from Columbus, Ga, to take
the place of the striking miners.

PLANTER TAKES GLOOMY VIEW
Anticipates All Kinds of Trouble
for the Americans in Cuba
Brigandage Rampant.

NEW YORK, May 12.-The Herald quotes
years experience, as saying:
There Is no getting away from the fact
that Gomez and not General Brooke Is the
actual governor of Cuba. The Americans
own and rule the cities, but the insurgents
know this and all his army officers know it.
Brigandage is as bad now as it was at any
time under Weyler. They are shooting
brigands all the time Six, I believe, were
shot the other day at Santiago. The Ameri-
can people do not know what is going on be-
cause the information is kept from them.
come out openly for annexation because they
fear the insurgents. But they are working
under cover. AS the owner Of one of the
largest plantations near Cienfuegos said:
I am not afraid to tell the truth. II an
nexation does not come pretty quick this
government is going to have more trouble
in Cuba than 1t has ever dreamed Of
"It was mistake to send down $4,000, 900
to pay off the insurgent army. Gomez knows
what he is about. He is a shrewd man and
is waiting his time. The Cubans do not
hesitate to talk of making war upon the
American troops. / question whether they
could ever become really good citizens, even
after annexation. / believe the Spanards
who care to remain on the island will.
Wealthy Spanards who own property there
want that property protected. They would
be obedent to an American government to
have it protected They know the Cubans
will never protect it."

"oMAHA KID" HAS THE ADVANTAGE.
Oscar Gardner Outboxes His Opponent
in TMenty-Five Round Draw.

NEW YORK, May 12.-Oscar Gardner,
the Omaha kid and Martin Flaherty of
LoweE, Mass. fought a twenty,five-round
draw at the New Broadway Athletic club
tonight in the presence o.. crowd that
sacked the auditorium and held overflow
meetings in the aisles and entries. 1t was
unsatisfactory fight from the standpoint
of the spectators, for there was sameness
about the tactics of the men throughout
the succeeding rounds and flashes of bril-
liancy were of infrequent occurrence.
Gardner was the c.everer man of the two
and outboxed his opponent at every stage
of the game. He was handicapped, how
ever. in that he had an unhealed cut over
his left eye and came into the ring with
BIZ bandage around his head. In action
the bandage slipped down and until he
slipped 1t off he was at times playing blind
mans buff. Later in the contest the cut
was reopened and bed so freely that his
left eve was at times blinded. He also
seemed to show. the effect, of too much
fighting of late, for he lacked the dash and
vim that have brought him many victories
weight and reach, and made the pace in
most of the rounds, but his work was in
effective He constantly overreached and
looked wild alongside of the little man, who
was generally inside his punches or under
them. He displayed very dangerous left
hand but lacked judgment of distances to
make it useful.

talning recent gains and business failures,
as for some time past, down TO the minimum.
0h-setting these in some measure might
be cited the reasonable quieting down OF
wheat and a distributive demand, particu-
larly for dry goods and clothing, but most
notable of all the further weakening OF
cereal values controlling the differences OF
foreign buyers, in spite OF the definitely
conceded fact that our winter wheat acreage
has been considerably curtalled, lowered
quotations of hog products and some shad-
ing of prices in sugar copper and tin. II
conditions of demand supply, invisible
wheat reserves and foreign crop advices did
not favor lower prices the government re-
port might have been regarded as bullsh
publication. The weakness of the market
under the circumstances may, therefore, be
regarded as rejecting the feeling among
foreign consumers that good crops abroad
and the reflling of depleted reserves from
last years yield win furnish wheat in
plenty.
The demand in iron and steel does not
weaken. Production of pig iron. though at
a maximum, is still inadequate, and the
stocks of pig iron show a further decrease.
Reports that possible foreign business in
this line has been rejected some from pro-
ducng centers but the efforts of foreigners
to obtain supplies here are, nevertheless,
testimony to their own productive abilities
being heavily taxed. In textiles the feature
of the week has been the practical peg
ging" of the price of print cloths for the
next six months, as a result Of a large sale
of the combined Fall River interests. This
has impaired firmness to all branches of
the trade and has affected quotations of the
raw staple also.
1t seems evident that the first real in
spiration in the wool industry must come
from abroad. Heavy buying of Australian
grades for re-export has been again the
feature, but coupled with this are reported
liberal sales at leading markets of domestic
woor to go abroad. In the building trades
activity Is very generally reported sales of
lumber are large and the strong statistical
position of nearly oil grades is good.
Hides and leather are In good demand and
firm. while the manufactured product is
moving well at recent advances.
Wheat, including -four shipments for the
week aggregate 3,2S4,1S2 bushels, against
3,4S4 0S1 bushels last week; 3,64654S bushels
in the week of 1898; 21S3,S75 bushels in
1897; 1898, 225 in 1896, and 2,397,513 in 1895.
Since July / this season, the exports of
wheat aggregate 203, ,0S5,44S bushels against
202, ,523,013 bushels last year. Corn exports
for the week aggregate 276S694 bushels
against 2,S47, 290 bushels last week, 6,077,270
bushels in this week year ago, 3,096,S34
