for constipation. find for tourists and statesmen,

SEIZED CUBAN ARMS,

Gen. Ludlow caused several private
houses in Havana to be searched for
arms. Eighteen rifles were seized at
No. 40 Compostele street, eight were
taken possession of in a house on
Tempenterri street. The searches
made in the middle of the night and
were submitted to quietly.
The American military commission
ers are pleased with the honrable con-
duct of Gen. Castellanos and sympa-
thize with him. They will probably
make a representation to President
Mckinley suggesting some recogni-
ton of the Spanish commanders con-
duct. Gems. Wade and Butler sail for
Tampa Saturday and Gen. Cloud and
Capt. Hart sail for New York direct.
AS Gen. Butler was driving in the
Legrena last evening he saw China
man shoot his mistress in the head
then make all attempt to escape. The
general sent two American soldiers in
pursuit but before the Chinaman could
be captured he stabbed himself in the
heart.
The United States Transport Michi--
gan, from Savannah, Ga, on Dec. 81,

there of Gen. Castellanos, who will
not leave his ship. The United States
flag was hoisted at Matanzas Sunday.

AMERICAN SCHOOL IN HAVANA

While the Spanish flag was still fly
ing at Havana, Miss Frances Molina
was on her way there to open an
American school under the Stars and
Stripes. Miss Molina was born in
Cuba, but was educated in this coun-
try and is graduate of the N ew York
Normal College. She has for some
years taught Spanish in the schools of
New York. Her success is assured
from the start; thirty six pupils have
already been entered, and applica-
tions have been received from more
than a hundred others. American
text books and school supplies were
secured before sailing, and on her ar
rival Miss Molina will be ready for
work. Thus, after the manner of the
Anglo Saxon, do the Americans call
the children to school as soon as peace
is secured. Exchange.

Two bills have been introduced in
the House of North Carolina Legisla-
ture, requiring all railroads in the
State to operate separate coaches for
white and colored passengers. One
of the bills is an exact copy of the
law now in force in Tennessee, and
which has been declared constitution
al.
The other is similar to it, except that
it provides 'sthat any first-class coach
may be divided into compartments,
separated by a substantial partition,
in lieu of seperate coaches"
A bill was introduced in the House
to amend the State constitution so as
to provide that call moneys arising
from the taxation of the polls and
the property of the white race for
public schools shall be appropriated
to the support of public schools of the
white race, and all the moneys arising
from the taxation of the polls and
property of the eolored race, for pub
lie schools, shall be appropriated to
the support of the public schools of
the colored race"
