A HIDEOUS STORY.

It was a hideons story that The

published letter from the Philip

Island of Mindanao, described the
shocking scenes of which he was
an eyewitness. American au-
thority, through fear of overthrow,
has been forced not only to recos-
nize slavery, but to protect the
STAKEHOLDER. The correspondent
draws a picture of the trial OF a
bond man who had tried to escape,
where an American officer sat as
one of the Judges, acquiesced IN
the penalty and enforced it.
And for permitting a sentry to
shoot an escaped slave an Ameri
can officer was degraded to the
ranks. Slave owners are allowed

justice of the penalty, which was
the inevitable result of the cores
pondence that had passed between
his employers and the German EN-
bassy in London.
But the story has a gratifying
sequel. AS Captain Spense inform
ed us the other day, he addressed
a letter to the Emperor in which he
gave plain account of the facts
and expressed his sincere concern
for the inadvertence. 1t is ex-
tremely pleasant to learn that the
Emperor William, who is himself
a sailor, has been graciOusly pleas
ed to accord a sympathetic ear to
his apologies. In a letter which
has reached Messrs. Currie from
the German minister plenipOten-
tiary in London, Count Meternich,
is directed by his government to
transmit his majesty's best thanks
and to inform them at the same
time that his majesty ''would feel
sorry if Captain Spense would lose
his living" This act of royal gen,
erosity does credit to the Emperor's
heart no less than to his unfailing
good sense. Captain Spense was
guilty of a grave breach of interna,
tiOnal custom at sea. His ship
was saluted by foreign power as
well as by a foreign sovereign,
and he did not return the salute.
But grave as the omission was it
was capable Of explanation and
excuse, and the delinquent's pre-
vious record was proof Of his in.
nocance in intention. We are glad
that this view of the circumstances
has prevailed with his imperial
majesty who will have added by
his graceful act at least one more
enthusiast to his many admirers
in GreatBritain Captain Spence's
reinstatement is insured, and he
will owe it directly to the Emperor.

THE CUBAN SUGAR CROP

As was indicated in the last Issue of

Mr.. Joaquin Guma, reports the total
receipts at all ports OF the new crop
of Cuban sugar at about 25l 600 tons,
or about 1900 tons more than the
crop oflast year. At the beginning
ofthis crop it was predicted that il
would reach as much as 100000 tons.

inc to take some time for Cuba to re-
cuperate from the disastrous effect of

WITH COW-ITCH

In one of the downtown poolrooms
there was more scratching Tuesday
night last than there had ever been
in that or any other poolroom before,
says the Atlanta Constitution. Some
body was distributing drug common
ly known as "cow-itch," and it was
getting in its work in the most ap-
proved style. Every now and then
there was a new victim who suddenly
felt a spot on his hand, face or back
OF the neck which burned and itched
worse than sand-fly bite. The mar
who conducted the poolroom was one
or the victims, and he knew that un-
less he discovered the fellow who was
distributing the "cow-itch" he would
soon have nobody to play on his pool
tables. So he watched, and he saw

said the poolroom man to himself,
I've caught the 'cow-itch man. The
proprietor called in Officer Petty, and
Grogrine was taken to the police bar
racks. Yesterday afternoon the cow

related was told to the Recorder Gro
grine pleaded not guilty, and stated
solemnly that he was not the person
who had distributed the "cow-itch' il
the poolroom. Recorder Broyles ex
pressed ignorance as to what the So
called "cow-itch" was, and he was in
formed that it was drug made from
a plant which grows in West India,
and that it looks like 'chopped-up
horse hair" When placed on the
skin it produces stinging and itch
ing sensation. THE evidence inclines
me to believe" said Recorder Broyles,
that the prisoner did the 'cow-itch'
act. He may have meant it only as
practical joke, but less things than
that have caused riot and bloodshed.
I'll fine Grogrine $5.75 and advise him
to let 'cow-itch' alone in the future"
