sardis, Miss, June II. - Simon Brooks
colored, was lynched by a mob of five hun
dred negroes near mere. having been taken
from the Jail some time between midnight
and dawn The crime which was thus
avenged, was one OF the most atrocious
in the criminal annals of this state. Last
night negress named Armistead, while
returning from a shopping tour to her
home was assaulted by Brooks and an
other negro. The woman was outraged,
her throat was cut and she was severely
beaten about the head and her jaws were
tightly tied to prevent breathing. Her
body was then concealed in rubbish. The
woman rallied sufficiently to give the
alarm and the names of her assailants.
Part of the goods taken from the woman
was later found in a trunk belonging to
Brooks. The mob. which was composed
entirely OF negroes, did its work very
quickly. The white people knew nothing
Of the affair until hours after it occurred.

GERMANY'S OPPOSITION
To the Proposal for Permanent Tribunal
OF Arbitration.
BASED ON THE "DlvlNE RIGHT OF KINGS
To Control the Destincs of Thci,
Subjects When n Crisis Com
fronts the Nation.

London. June 12.-The correspondent OF
! thu Times at The Hague says There is
no sufficient reason. as far as | can as
certain, to anticipate the failure of the
arbitration scheme. German objections
may possibly have been intimated to GER
tain members of the committee, but it
would be premature to take a pessimstic
view OF the case. 1t is true difficulties
have arisen, but they may yet be smoothed
over. Germany may well pause before
assuming the terrible responsibility of
bringing about the failure of the confer
ence.
The correspondent of the Daily News
at The Hague says l learn that Dr..
zorn the German delegate, spoke on Fri
day against arbitration. When l asked
him for copy of his speech l got point
blank refusal, DR.. Zorn saying: "All
can tell you is that Fridays sitting was
extremely interesting and that / presented
Germany's objections to the scheme for
a permanent arbitration tribunal"
Notwithstanding this, am able to send
full analysis of his speech. He spoke
slowly and with difficulty i'm French. He
asserted that he was instructed to say
that Germany could not accept the prln-
cple Of permanent arbitration embodied
in Sir Julian Pauncefote's draft. She OBJ
jected firstly on principle and secondly
on grounds of expedlency.
He then proceeded to argue that it was
derogatory to a monarchs sovereignty and
to nations independence Arbitration
agreed upon between two nations for
narrowly defined object was one thing
and arbitration binding nation for the
unknowable future was quite another. A
king holding his title by divine right
could not think of dvesting himself OF
an essential part of his sovereign right TO |
shape the nations course at a critical
time"
Emperor William, Or. Zorn said, will
not pledge himself to bow to the decisions
Of judges not appointed by him on cases
that would arise The objection was on
principle. DR.. Zorn concluded his speech
amid painful silence.
Sir Julian Pauncefote, replying, said he
thought the objections of the German dele
gate showed a view of statecraft which
many might consider not altoCether mod
arn.
AS to the doubts expressed regarding
The fitness of the judges, have no doubt"
-aid Sir Julian, that every state would
AXE pride in nominating its best men.
! understand that Dr. Zorn's Instructions
we're sent under a. misappr ahension, as
'ome OF MS objections would only apply TO
lraft.
Inc correspondent of the Morning Post
1t The Hague asserts that at last FRIDAYS
Meeting DR.. zorn opposed the arbitration
cheme, but adds that negotiations are pro-
'eeding between The Hague and Berlin.

A PLOT is NOW ALLEGED
Cuban Officers and Not Men We're Refusing
the Gratulty.
SECRET IMPRISONMENT TO BE ABOLISHED
That Is 10 lie One of the First
Duties of the New Cuban
Court.

Havana, JuIe ll--Some weeks ago
dispatches We're put in the local papers
purporting to come from Santiago de
Cuba, and announcing that tho Cubans
there had absolutely refused to accept
the American gratuity These messages
were really fabricated by officers OF the
late Cuban army in this city two nights
before they appeared, in the cafe of the
Hotel Inglaterra. The consul Of foreign
power, who understands Spanish perfectly
sat at a table adjoining the one used by
the Cuban officers and heard every word
OF the messages as finally agreed upon,
including the corrections in the first draft
and the plans for forwarding the matter
to Santiago and having il telegraphed to
Havana, as il sent from a Cuban official,
The plan was executed according to the
programme. The consul who overheard
the plot is a man OF undouh;ed veracity.
Though at present he objects to a public
use of his name and is not unfriendly TO
the Cubans, he believes that tricks like
these, tending to injure American intiu-
enee, are unwlse and ought TO be exposed.
Senior Federico Mora, fiscal agent OF the
supreme court, anu FORMER clNi governor
OF Havana says that one OF the first
duties OF the court will be to abolish the
Objectionable practice OF inc2mmunicado
and TO establish writ Of habeas corpus.
II is the opinien OF most of the Cubans.
