should comprise such u large per-

however, while there is no doubt

A Cotton Mill.

| Mr.. II. II. Hargrove, of Shreve-
port, staff correspondent of the
N: y. Picayune, yielding to the
solicitation of some of our pro-
gressive citizens, made a brief
address at the Court House on
Tuesday night on the advantages
or establishing cotton factories
near the cotton fields. A small
but interested audience listened
with eager attention to his clear
and practical exposition of the
subject, upon which he is thor
oughly posted, and Il movement
was lnaugurated to secure the es-
tabllshment of such a mill at
Opelousas. Another meeting will
be held in about two weeks when
it is hoped to secure the attend
ance of all the most progressive
farmers and business men in the
community, and when, it is likely.
the movement will assume def
mite and tangible shape.
No one can hear Mr.. Hargrove
talk thirty minutes on the subject
without being convinced that a
cotton mill here would prove an
exceptionally good thing, and no
one can read his letters to the
Picayune about the cotton mills
of North and South Carolina and
Georgia without reaching the
same conclusion. We still have
a number of pamphlets contain
ing these letters and will cheer
fully present one to any interested
party who may call for one.

The situation in Cuba is suffi-
ciently serious to cause some con-
Germ at Washington. 1t appears
that General Brooke's admins
tration of the affairs of the is
land is decidedly unpopular with
the natives. He is enforcing
Sunday and other puritanical
laws to the intense disgust Of the
Cubans, who, like all the Latin
race, regard Sunday as Il gala
day, which is devoted to sports,
amusement and recreation. In
stead of using tact and diploma
cy in the pacification of the is
land, General Brooke is resort
ing to the methods of a soldier
and carrying things with high
hand. The distribution of the
$4,000. 900 to the officers and men
of the Cuban army is also causing
trouble and dissatisfaction and
General Gomez, who was to have
assisted in distributing the mon
ey, has washed his hands Of the
business, because he and other
Cuban generals sought to gobble
large sums for themselves.-N.

General Otis is said to have
completed arrangements for gen
eral round up of -Filipinos that
will practically end the war. This
move upon the part of General
Otis is given as the reason why
the volunteers are not being sent
home on transports which have
been sailing every day. The in
surgents are surrounded on three
sides while back Of them is the
Maccabee country, whose natives
are friendly to the United States.
Unless some unexpected move is
made by the Filipinos something
like 5000 of them will be either
taken prisoners or killed in the
battle which it is expected will be
the fercest one yet fought. Cen
eral Otis has shown himself an
able warrior, and the administra-
ton has great faith in this con-
templated move.
