AS TO VOTING IN CUBA.
Americanized Natives to Have
Privilege of Elective
Franchise.

Havana, Feb. Ex-Governor
General Wood has decided to
permit Cubans who are natural
lied Americans to vote at the
coming elections. Former Sec>
retary of State Capote endeav>
ored last summer to force whole
sale renunciations of American
citizenship, but General Brooke
refused to permit it. General
Wood takes the Same position,
but at the same time will grant
the franchise to Cuban Ameri-
cans. Native born Cubans who
are subjects of other nations will
not be permitted to vote. There
are many here, especially
French. General Woods offer
will be published shortly. The
Radicals may object, but like
most Cuban protests, it will die
a speedy death.
Washington's birthday was
quietly celebrated and some
buildings owned by Cubans
were decorated. A ball was
given tonight. Saturday will
be the big holiday, it being the
anniversary of the outbreak OF
the last revolution.

BIG MILL FOR STATESVILLl
Orders Placed for 5000 Loom;
and 100000 Spindles.

1t is probable that the largest
cotton mill in the South will be
located at or near Statesville In
the near future. The Coolee>
NEE Company, composed OF
Mebanes Dukes and other
wealthy citizens having abund>
ance of capital. will build a mill
in that section. They have al
ready placed the order for the
machinery for 100000 spindles
and 5000 looms. The estimated
cost of the mill is between two
and three million dollars.
The company recently bought
Lookout Shoals. very valuable
water power on the Catawba
river in Alexander county, and
have been investigating with a
view to building the mill at the
shoals, but have decided to lo'
cate the plant at Statesville, and
transmit the power from the
shoals by electricity. The com
pany does not ask for any specla
favors All it wants is an avail
able site of about 900 or more
acres of land.

LONG TRIP FOR LUMBER.
Three Cargoes of Pine From the
Pacific Coast.

The demand for lumber fol
shipbuilding and other purpose:
has become SO great that the
dealers are now drawing on the
Pacific coast territory for their
future supply. A feet of sailing
vessels, which includes the ship
John A. Briggs, from Port Gam
bic, and the barks Guy c. Goss
and Kate V. Troop, from Vic
toria. British Colum bia, are now
on their way to this port, all
with large cargoes of Oregon
pine.
There has never been a time
when the demand for lumber
has been SO great that purchas
ers were compelled to look else
where than 20 the South for their
supply. Besides being cheaper,
even after the ocean freight and
duties are paid, the Pacific coast
lumber has the advantage of be
ing longer than could be pur>
chased on the Atlantic coast, or
perhaps, anywhere else, owing
to the fact that the trees grow to
greater heights in the Oregon
and Canadian forests than al
most anywhere else On the Con>
tinent. The Briggs cargo con
sistssof 100000 feet of pine,
the Kate Troop brings 1,2oo,o
feet, and the Goss 100000, all
Of which is consigned to Phila~
delphia lumber dealers.
1t will require at least four
months for the vessels to make
their runs, which will be accom-
plished by rounding Cape Horn.
The cold weather has facilitated
the shippers in getting the logs
to the coast sawmills, the heavy
snow being favorable for the
work.
The Government duties will
amount to about 81 per thous~
and feet, and the freight will
average over $4,000 for each
vessel.
The consignees Of the cargoes
state that by reason of the su~
perior lengths the shipments are
especially desirable for the decks
of warships ard merchant craft,
and for passenger car manufac>
turers, for which use it has all
ready been sold, partly to the
Cramp Shipbuilding Company
and the New York Shipbuilding
Company. The remainder has
been taken by passenger car
builders at WILDER, Del. and
elsewhere The lumber, it is

Mr.. German says that the
Democratic chances for success
are better now than III 1890, and
have improved greatly, even
within the last three week.
"The tide" he said, "is now
running against the Admins
tration." Mr.. German thinks
that the Hay -Pauncefote treaty
has had great deal to do with
the change in public sentiment,
because it has given color to the
charge that the Administration
has an understanding with Great
Britain, and that an offensive
and defensive alliance will be
the next step. This treaty." he
says, "and the conditions III the

added. that the passage of the

BOER WOMEN NEVER WEEP

|
Sau francisco, returned from /:
tour Of South Africa q shor
while ago, and relates some in
terestiug impressions of the
Beers.
1.-The Beers Impressed me as
being a very uncouth sort oi
people," she says, according to
the Philadelphia Times, GALS
though those that W. met were
pleasant enough. 1t is easy to
see that they are required to pay
little attention to the CourtesieS
OF life while young, so that their
manners are devoid of polish
and they frequently have surly
air. which does not by any means
create favorable impression up
on strangers. But of their fight
ing qualities there can be no
question, and England need not
expect to subdue them until
their last shot has been fred and
their last ounce of strength is
exhausted. There is no more
determined and stubborn race of
people on earth than the Beers.
"The children, both boys and
girls, are taught the use OF fire.
arms as soon as they are old en-
ough to hold a gun. They prac>
tice constantly.
"From one generation to an>
other the Beers have been pre-
pairing for war, until to fight is
now their natural instinct.
The women are as courage
Gus and combative as the men.
A boer woman is never too old
to shoot straight. You should
see them as I have seen them
coming to the station to say
good bye to husbands, fathers,
brothers and sweethearts on
their way to the front. Such
stoicism is astonishing.
"Not a tear d )es a Boer wo.
man shed when she sends a son
away from her to fight for his
country Not tear does she
shed when he falls in battle.
Fighting to them is business,
duty-anything but a matter
ofseutlment.
MY opinion is that when
there are no more Boer men left
on the field the Boer women will
take their places and give des>
perate battle to the English foe,
whom they hate with all their
hl arts. These afrikander women
are better soldiers than most
men.
"Life in the Transvaal for
Boer women is very pleasant.
In johannesburg saw more
bicycles than in any other city,
and | have visited all the large
cities of the world"

Latest Scheme of the Kentucky
Republicans.
BATTLE In THE COURTS
Republicans Will Demand an
Inquest on the Body or Goe
bel-Startling Evidence
When the Case
Comes to a
Hearing.

Louisville, Feb, 20 By a
method of procedure decided
upon by the Republicans, every
State office will be tied up Sat
urday and no State business will
be transacted after that date and
for some time to come. The
State election board will decide
the minor State Offices contest
that day and its verdict will un>
seat the Republicans. An in
junction will at once be asked
tor by the Republicans, restrain
ing the Democrats from taking
possession of the minor offices,
and this action will so to the
Court of Appeals and from there
to 4 e United States Supreme
ro..rt.
Uutil final decision is
reached, every minor State Of
fee, from auditor to treasurer,
will. be tied up. None of the
1Io counties in the State will
turn in revenue till it is decided
who the legal officers are This
will create tangle that will
paralyze State business, and no
one can see any way out of it.
Governor Taylor said this
morning that he would obey
any order of the Court of Ap
peals in his case, but he would
carry it to the Supreme Court
of the United States ON a writ
of error.
The action Of the Goebelites
in charging Taylor with com
plicity in the assassination of
William Goebel will lead to de
terlnined retaliation by the Re-
publicans. The Republican
State central committee, it is
stated, will meet next week and
demand that an inquest be held
over the body of Goebel, and
that Chind and Lillard, who
were with Goebel when he was
shot, be made to testify under
oath. 1t will De demanded that
phve;;--tans who attended shall
also submit TO examination un~
der oath.
Some startling assertions are
made by Republicans to contro>
vert the story that Goebel was
shot from the executive build
ing. They have witnesses who
will swear that a man walking
with Goebel shot him, holding
a pistol under his arm. They
also say that a Democrat, and
not a Republican, shot Goebel.
and that Goebel said On his
death bed, referring to the Re-
publicans 81 forgive them they
did not do it"
Startling evidence is looked
for when the case is tried. Goe-
bel court officers have refused to
allow either Sutton or Whitaker
to be tired, and Republicans
charge that the two detectives
now at Frankfort are not there
TO locate the assassin, but to
prevent detection of the man
who really shot Goebel.

Farley, editor of the Cape Fea

why the negro figures so con-

This phase of the negro

OF misdemeanor of some kind.
The idea that the negro is
always taken advantage OF IN
the courts of the South is fast
being exploded, and the fact
that many of our race 60 to the
jails, chain gangs and peniten-
tiary is because they get justice.
"The Irshman saw the point
when the judge said, You shall
have JUSTICE Faith, and by
Christ said Fat, that's what /

respect, cherish and Vindicate
the majesty and dignity of the
law and order of the community
with sacredness next to our
religion. Indeed, the observance
of law and respect for those in
authority are evidences of genu-
ine religion.
"Another reason for the plenti-
fulness of the colored brother in

of ability to arbitrate and COM
promise small and petty affairs

magistrates insist upon compro-

but to no effect with some of
