CUBA LIBRE.'
Delegates to the Constitutional Convention
Will be Elected Nov. Is.
(By the Associated Press.)


Washington, July 21.-It was stated on
good authority at the War Department
this evening that he date for holding the
Cuban election fo~ delegates to the Con-
stitutional convention has been fixed APP
proximately for November 18th next.
The Constitutional convention, it is be-
lieved, by the War Department authori-
ties, can be held within three months
after that date. The authorities are un-
willing to fix a definite date for the with
drawal of the few remaining American
troops from the island, but it is believed
that the new Government devised by the
convention will possibly be set in opera
ton and secure such a start as will en-
able the American forces to be with
drawn by the beginning of the next hot
weather, and thus avoid keeping any of
the American regiments in Cuba through
another yellow fever season.

RALEIGH NOT IN IT.


The poet of the Charlotte News gets
off this poem at the expense of the Raj
eigh base ball team:
Farewell Raleigh, farewell for the pres
ent
We know that your stay here has not
been very pleasant.
For you thought you would win at least
one of the two,
But your team decided that that wouldn t
do,
So we scored both the victories and tied
you for place,
We've a chance to win out in this year s
pennant race.
You counted your chickens too early,
old Raleigh
Remember the maxim: Don't count
them, tbs folly"
Now don't get discouraged, you play ball
all right,
And Person, is good, but not against
White.
For mark what l tell you. Just note what
l say,
In this State 'White Supremacy" must
carry the day.

Durham, N. c., July 21.-In the Dur
ham Raleigh game here this afternoon,
the Raleigh team flew the track, kicked
out of harness and forfeited the game to
Durham at the conclusion ofs the sixth
inning. The kick and forfeiture came
about this way: Farrell came to the bat
for Raleigh in sixth and struck out. KEEL
ly then came to the bat and got hit
to centre. O'Brien attempted to steal
second base but was thrown out by Lee
Grande to Weidensaul and the latter
made a quick return but threw wild,
and as LeGrand attempted to make the
catch Kelly Slid for the home plate. 1t
was a close decision but Umpire Carr
called Kelly out. The Raleigh team pro-
tested declaring they would not play
further unless another umpire was put
in the box. This Carr readily consented
to, but Captain Burns, of the Durham
team, would not agree to the change
and finally Carr decided TO play the game
out as the captains could reach no de-
cision. Raleigh declined to play and the
game was given to Durham. Up to the
sixth inning the game was a very pretty
one.

 tional Church.
 The Rev. Dr. Charles II. Buck has closed his pastorate in the Prospect Methodist church of Bristol after hav- ing served it three different periods i during the past thirty years When he went to Bristol as a young man the Methodist church was small wooden building on West street with a limited membership.

He will not take another pastorate at pres ent, but after the conference both he and his wife will go to Tarrytown, N. r., where they will be the guests of | their daughter, the wife of Professor Crehore of that place.

THE DERBY Y-SHELTON BRIDGE.
A Lineman Who Worked Under 1t
 Thinks That it Will Collapse

A Lineman Who Worked Under 1t Thinks That it Will Collapse. Derby and shelton people are stirred up on account of a somewhat startling story which is told by a lineman who had occasion few days ago to dossome work on the under side of the big bridge which spans the Housatonic between Shelton and Derby concerning the pres ent condition of that structure. The telephone wires cross the bridge, and it was while the linemen were at work putting in new cable that the alleged discovery was made. The man while at work at the case was in a position to more closely examine the bridge than can be done from the upper surface and he states that in his opinion the com missioners who have charge of it should at once order a careful investigation by competent men.
 He says the nuts and bolts which hold the different parts of the bridge together are loose and that the tenden- cy when they once get loose is for the bridge, by it's increased vibration, to become more and more racked until it will soon be In a positively dangerous condition. The man states that unless the bridge receives immediate attention
 it will soon, in his opinion, become un- safe for any heavy loads and that there will be constant danger.
 Many persons since hearing the mans statement have remarked that the vi bration of the bridge when heavy loads were crossing 1t has increased very much since the opening of the structure.

 The barracks are like all of the build- ings in the small towns of Luzon, matched with nipa, and the blaze spread quickly. Tn a few minutes the officers quarters were threatened with destruction, and to save them the off cers joined hands with the men and ex erted their best efforts. Dr. Gilhuley was on the roof of one of the buildings directing the work of some of the sol diers when the supports of the roof gave way and he fell with it. His right leg was broken and he was otherwise badly injured.
