THIEVES IN CUBA
SHALL NOT ESCAPE.
The President Determined That All Shall
be Brought to Justice Platt De-
fanded thu A a n, In ixf ra ttou

WASHINGTON, May 24.--What by far
seeing senators is regarded as likely to
be the paramount issue of the national
campaign was the subject Of two nota-
BILE speeches in the senate, one by Mr..
Platt, of Connecticut, and the other by
Mr.. Spooner, of Wisconsin. The for
mer was an answer to the speech deliv-
cred few days ago by Mr.. Bacon, Of
Georgia, on his resolution demanding
an investigation of financial affairs in
Cuba. Mr.. Platt favored the adoption
Of the resolution, but deprecated what
he declared was a cheap effort to make
dition of affairs, which the Republican
party needed no prodding to induce it to
probe to the bottom.
He strongly defended the administra-
ton and made public a letter of instruc-
ton given by Postmaster General Smith
to Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Bristow, which read in part:
You will Immediately on your arrival at
Havana, confer freely and fully with General
Wood, military governor, and willkeep in con-
slant communication with him in the work on
which you enter. You will cooperate with
the military governor, both in the investiga-
tion Of all irregularities in the postal service
Of Cuba and in any measures for the reorgani-
zation Of the system that may be undertaken
The irregularities and speculations which
have been brought to light were apparently
accomplished because officers appointed by
and responsible to different departments, and
who should have been a check upon each
other, entered into collusion and conspiracy to
perpetrate these wrongs on the one side and to
pass and cover them upon the other. You
will carefully investigate by what defects of
supervision or defense they were consum-
mated, and what further measures of protec-
ton IN the passing and auditing OF accounts

Why Navy Department Refuses
to Send a Second Trophy
Cannon to This City.

Mayor Robertson received letter
Wednesday from Senator NJ. A. Hanna's s
private secretary enclosing a letter from
Secretary J. A. Long of the navy de-
partment, in which the chief of the bu-
reau Of the ordnance states that this
city cannot be loaned another cannon.
Ex- Consul o. F. Williams, of Rochester
N. Y, had written to the mayor con-
cerning the cannon, stating that he had
secured it at Manila and was desirous
Of presenting 1t to the presidents home
city. However, as the navy department
refuses to recognize the request, the
cannon will not be sent here. Great
preparations are in progress to dedicate
the cannon already here and which will
be mounted within short time on the
city hall lawn. The letter referred to Is
the official correspondence with refer
ence to the matter. The statement was
made some time since that Canton
would not get the second gun.

Mr.. Arnold lost mare and colt one

We learn with sadness in our hearts
through the Christian Standard, that
Rev. Robert l.. Lott, of West Plains,
Mo-, had died April 10Th, 1900. Bro.
Lotz was pastor of the Christian church
at Sparta, and Indian Run. only two
years ago, where he left a host of
friends, who feel sorry to hear of his
death.
Rev. Lotz was born in Daviess county
Missouri, 54 years and six months ago.
At the age of 20 he united with the
Church of Christ and at once entered
christian university at Canton, Mo-, to
prepare himself for his life work in the
service of his master. After spending
four years at college he graduated with
high honors and Immediately entered
the ministry While at college he
supported himself by preaching in the
surrounding country and working at
the carpenter trade. Since leaving COL
lege he has ever been after his Masters
business preaching both as an evange-
list and pastor over Missouri, Kansas,
Ohio and in the far northwest. He has
held some of the most important
charges in these states and wherever
he has been his faithful, earnest work
has resulted in upbuilding and
strengthening the cause Of Christ. He
leaves a wife and six children to fol-
low the example of his beautiful chris
tian life. Wherever he was called to
preach the gospel he was dearly low
ed for the purity of his life, the earnest
ness of his labors and faithfulness as a
friend to everybody. His funeral was
conducted by the Ministers Alliance,
of the city of West Plains. His body
was taken to Bethany, Mo-, to his old
home to be buried besid his father.
May we all ever strive to emulate his
noble life that we may meet him in
that city where death is unknown.
