Birmingham, Ala. June 22.-Booker T
| Washington. president of the Industrial
| and Normal school at Tuskegee, yes
terGay furnished the Associated Press
| with an elaborate discussion of the race
question in the form of a paper. Pro-
| feszor Washington begins his paper by
| saying that while it, is true that there
are cases of lynching and outrages in
the northern and western states. candor
| compels him to admit that by far the
most lynchings take place in the south
ern states and most of the persons
lynched are negroes. with all the
earnestness Of my heart" he says, Il
went to appeal. not to the president Of
the United States-Mr. Mckinley-nOt to
the people of New York nor New Eng
land, but to the citizens of our north fern
states TO assist in creating such public
sentiment as will make human life here
just as safe and sacred as it is any
where else in the world"
Rape Excuse Does Not Pan Out,
Many people in the south and also
out of the south have got the idea that
lynching is resorted to for one crime
only. / have the facts from an authori-
tative source. During the last year 12T
persons were Iynched in the United
States; of this number 11S were ex-
ecuted in the south and nine in the
north and west. OF the total number
lynched 102 We're negroes, % whites and
Indians Now let every one inter-
ested in the south, his country and the
cause Of humanity, note this fact-that
only "a of the entire number were
charged in any way with the crime of
rape; that is, "a out of 127 cases of
lynching; 81 of the remaining cases We're
for murder. Is for being suspected Of
murder, for theft, etc. During one
week last spring. when I kept a careful
record, IS negroes were lynched in three
Of our southern states and none was
even charged with rape.
Nine Hundred Lynchings in Six Years.
Let us take another year that of
1892 for example. During this year 1892
PAL persons We're lynched in the whole
United States; sc of this number were
lynched in northern and western sta les
and 1S6 in our southern states. OF the
PAL lynched in the whole country $50
were negroes, and 3 of these women.
The facts show that out of the 241
lynchings in the entire country in 1892.
but 81 We're even charged with at
tempted rape. leaving in that year alone
1S4 persons who were lynched for other
causes than that OF rape Within a
period of six years about 800 persons
have been lynched in our southern
states. This is but a few hundred short
of the total number of soldiers who lost
their lives in Cuba during the war"

Takes a Sharp Rap at Americans
Retires from Public Life.

Havana, June Cen. Maxine Go
mey, the former commander in CHER
of the Cuban army, issued his farewell
manifesto yesterday. He told of his
loyalty to Cuba and said that he would
soon come to Havana to live. He
urged the natives to be good citizens
and prove to the Americans that they
could govern themselves, and was con-
fident that time would come. He closed
by saying: I'VE wanted and depend
ed upon foreign intervention to termi-
nate the war. This occurred at the
most terrible moment of our contest
and resulted in SPANS defeat. But
none OF us thought this extraordinary
event would be followed by a military
occupation of the country by our al
lies who treat us as people incapable
Of acting for ourselves, and who
reduced lis to obedience, to sub
mission and to tutelage imposed by
the force of circumstances" He add
ed 1T Is said countries always
