several blows with some sharp in

Attorney General Knox, at the
request of the Spanish Claim Com
mission, has rendered an opinion
that claims growing out of the loss
of the battleship Maine are properly
claims of the United States against
Spain, which means that they have
no legal status, as the Treaty of
Paris expressly stipulated that no
claims of the United States against
Spain on account of the war should
be made. Such claims are still be.
ing filed, but it is probable that they
had been prepared before the At
torney General had been heard
from, and that the attorneys are
filing them so as to be in a position
TO take advantage of the possibility
of the opinion not being upheld by
the courts, although so far as
known no steps have been taken to-
wards getting its legality passed
upon.

One of the results of a published
interview with the President of
Venezuela, In which he reflected
severely upon United States Minis
ter Loomis, now in Europe on a va
cation, for acts IN which he was
carrying out his instructions from
Secretary Hay, is that President
Mckinley has decided that MIR.
Loomis shall not return to Venez-
uela, but shall be given another
diplomatic position of equal import
ance. The President of Venezuela
will find no difference in the change
as the new minister will be given
precisely the same instructions that
were given to Mr.. Loomis. Mean
while Mr.. w. w. Russell, who is in
charge of the United States Lega-
tion at Caracas, has been instruct
ed to inform the government OF
Venezuela that this government en-
dorses every official act of Minister
Loomis.

Secretary Roots letter, instructing
General Wood to inform the members
Of the Cuban Constitutional Conven-
tion that this government did not APP
prove Of the additions made TO the
Platt amendment, before its accept
ance by the Convention, was a long
and carefully prepared document, in
the preparation Of which President
Mckinley assisted. 1t impressed up
on General Wood that this govern
ment does not wish to offend the Gu
bans, but that they must accept the
Platt amendment just as it passed
Congress, II they wish American au-
thority to be withdrawn from the is
land; that nothing short of that will
be satisfactory to this government.
The Plat Amendment Is plain and
the attempt to interpret several Of its
provisions, which the Cubans added,
are obscure.

cerning the death of Z. w.

where he lived until about q year ago
when he came to Nesson to make his
home with his son, with whom he lived
until his death. w
Nearly three months ago he was
stricken with paralysis which effected
his oversight and brain. Soon another
stroke came which left him wholly blind
and most of the time irrational . At
times he rallied and showed signs Of Inn
proving as was the case Friday evening
when he arose from the bed and dressed
himself without assistance and walked
out to the supper table. but in few
minutes was dead.
The funeral services were held at the
NJ. E. Church in WiIliston, Rev. Chas. F.
Wheeler performing the last sad rites Of
the dead. Interment followed at the
cemetry west Of town.
K. w. Adams was we'll known
to all old settlers hereabout as
the long time resident of Paint
ed Woods Landing, and. one of
the most successful gardeners
that ever handled a hoe in the
Missouri slope country. While
living here two of his three sons
met tragic death and. the old
gentleman had his full share of
the sorrows Of this world ,4t.
