SITUATION IN CUBA.
TROOPS WILL BE NEEDED
THERE FOR A LONG TIME
YET.
Such is the Opinion of Congress-
man Packer Who Has Been
There - Annexation is
Necessary.

Washington, April 1S.-H. p.
Packer, a Republican member of
congress from Penn sylvania, has
aately returned from trip to Gu
'Da, and he talks entertainingly of
affairs in the island.
1.-The impression l got," said
he, "was that our troops will
fhave to stay down there long
time. One of our leading geAer-
als talked the situation over with
me fully and frankly. His idea
Is that congress made fearful
mistake in passing the Teller reso-
aution that disclsimed any inten-
tion on our part to annex Cuba.
OF course the respectable and
educated element, -Spanisrds most
ay-say they will be glad to see
:snue6stlon come about speedily.
The general was not absolutely
sure how far these people could
be depended on to make good
their talk. If an election were
held at an early date they might
vote in a way contrary to their
declarations about the desirability
of annexation.
11Then, too, the church, he said,
was = great factor in all political
matters on the island, and whether
the church would advise it's peo-
Pple 10 cast their ballots for snnexa
tion was doubtful. All the Ameri-
cans down there were of the
opinion that sooner or later Cuba
would como into the Union, but
how soon or under what circum-
stances ND one could foretell."

breakfast and supper, 81 to $3.50

LAKE CITY ARGUMENTS.
MIR. BRYAN BOLDLY Y SAYS
WITNESSES WERE. PER.
JURED. 2 ,, p /
Different Views Which the At.
torneys for the Government
and the Defense Submits, .
ted to the Jury.
Special to Greenville News.


Charleston, S. c., April 19.-
The argument to the jury for the
government in the case. against the
alleged Lake City lynchers was
opened today by j. P. K. Bryan.
His speech lasted four hours and
was characterized by boldness Of
expression and by the directness
of the charges which it mads
against the prisoners and the wit
nesses who testified for them. 3.
MIR. Bryan declared that not
only had the conspiracy alleged
been brought home to the defend
ants, but in the attempt to escape
from the consequences the public
records had been mutilated in q
most barefaced and reckless man
ner. Two defendants went before
the jury without the semblance Of
testimony in their favor. An &C.
complIce swesrs that he was with
them at the lynching. Three uu-
impeached witnesses swore they
saw them thore aud yet they did
not go on the stand to explain
their whereabouts nor were Wit
nesses offered to show where they
were when Baker was killed. For
the other six men alibis of a most
fiimsy character were set up
statements in which the individuals
contradicted each other at every
turn, and in which the false and
the marvellous we're 80 blended
that they fade away to nothing in
the light of reason and fact. He
declared that things had come to
pass in South Carolina at which
human life was cheaper than
cent cotton, and the majesty OF
the law could Dever be re -estab.
lished unless jurors could be found
who would see to it that such dia.
bohcal crimes as the lynching OF
Frazier Baker are punished.
In reply G. S. Legare argued
for the defense. He declared that
the testimony of the government
witnesses had been impeached and
contradicted in essential details
and he argued that the slibis for
the defense had been well and
conclusively established. In the
midst of Mr.. Legare's defence OF
him the defendent Stokes created
sensation by breaking down anc
crying bitterly. MIR. Legare will
continue his argument tomorrow.
Charleston, April 2O.-The ar
gument in the trial Of the alleged
Lake City lynchers was continued
here today. Ex- Attorney Gen
w A Barber, now of New York
spoke for the government and law,
yer Bass of Lake City, and So
licitor w StJulian Jervey argued
for the defense. General Barber
eloquently defended the govern
ment against the charge of perse,
cution brought against it by tn,
defense, and Mr. Jervey made al
earnest appeal in behalf of his eli
ents. MIR Bass devoted most O
his time TO a defence of Lake cit,
rather than the prisoners. HI,
said that the to wn had been mis-
represented by the press of tn,
nation. 1t was, he claimed,
peaee-loving and law abiding mu
nicipality.

70 his hand from the escaping steam.
The noise of the explosion was heard
in all parts of the village. Some of
those who lived in the vicinity of the
scene of the accident reported that
their houses were fairly shaken by the
force of the explosion. One man who
was at work down river reported that
although fully a mile away he had
heard the noise.
The damage done by the explosion
could not be estimated, today. The
digester had been hurled so feet. back
from its original position, and had
dropped into the boiler pit on the floor
below that on which it originally rest
ed. The lining of the boiler was parti-
ally demolished and the cover was
smashed in such manner that it Will
have TO be replaced.
The walls in the rear of the position
where the boiler stood were demolished.
Several of the wet machines" in front
of the digester We're destroyed. The
floor of the second story was so badly
demolished that it VIII have to- be re
built Those at the mill were not able
TO give any idea of the amount of the
damage but We're of the opinion that
il would be fully covered by the in
surance.
What caused the accident no one
seemed to be able to determine, today.
There is a great deal of talk in the
town that the digeSter was all worn
out and had been condemned Agent
Mansfield, from whom the boiler was
bought, said, today, that when it left
his plant, the Somersworth Fiber Co.
ii was IN good condition. He express
ed the belief that the accident did not
occur from any trouble with the digest
er. But thought it must be from some
outside cause.
At the time the accident occurred Mr..
Skillings was standing in front of the
digester tightening one of the nuts on
a bolt combining the head to the digest
err. 1t is thought by some that the
snapping sound which was heard was
caused by the breaking of the bolt. this
weakening the head enough TO allow
the explosion to occur.
At the time Of the accident there
were 80 pounds of steam pressure OF
the digester and 20 pounds on tbs
boiler.
As soon as the accident occurred
word was at once sent to Coroner w
w. Edwards of Waterville, who in {
short time was on the scene of the ac-
cident, prepared to hold an inquest /
necessary. After looking over the scene
he arrived at the conclusion that ar
inquest was unnecessary.
The news of the accident spread like
wildfire and in a very short time there
were people present from all parts OF
the county. The reports which spread
we're much exaggerated and according
to some there were half dozen peopI>
killed.
