A RIOT AT coRB1N, KY.
The Shooting of james Shotwell by ROllie
White Causes u Store to BE
Blown Up.

Corbin, KY, Jan. IA riot was
in progress here last night as re-
suit of the shooting yesterday after
noon of James Shotwell by Rollie
White and several persons have been
killed and injured. Shotwell is in
precarious condition and is not eX-
pected to recover. The trouble grew
out of the fact that White had been
paying attention to Shotwell's daugh-
ter against the will of the latter.
After the shooting White submitted
to arrest and was placed in his
brothers grocery store, where a
guard was placed over him awaiting
the arrival of the sheriff. At $3.50 p.
m. terrific explosion took place UNI
der the grocery. So severe was the
shock that it tore the building liter
ally to pieces. There We're about
dozen persons in the building at the
time. Several escaped with slight in
juries while several remain in the
debris dead. No one at this time can
say how many are killed. Immedi-
ately after the explosion there was
rapid firing in the neighborhood by
unknown parties concealed in the
darkness. After the shooting Susan
Cox was found dead near the wrecked
building, having been struck by a
stray ball. Citizens were afraid to
visit the rioting district last night
and the number of killed cannot be
ascertained until morning.

cUBA's FUTURE.
Gen. Lee Thinks the United States Must
Always Keep some Sort Of Supervision
Over the Island,

Little Rock, Ark, Jan. l7.-Gen
Fitzhugh Lee, who arrived here yes.
terday to inspect Fort Logan II,
Roots, was honored with series OF
receptions by different civic organiza-
tons. In the afternoon he accepted
the invitation of the Arkansas legis-
lature and addressed the senate and
house in joint session. In reference
to Cuba's future, he said: "The geo.
graphical position of that beautiful
island is such that the United States
must keep some sort of supervision
over it. Any hostile power holding
Cuba could shut up the Gulf of Mex
leo. If the United States withdraws
its troops and complaint should go
to England that English interests on
the island were not protected, in less
than six or seven days you would see
an English feet sailing into Havana
harbor, and after it got there It is
doubtful whether any other power
could ever get possession of the is
land"
