DEBTORS IN CUBA
ARE IN DISTRESS
Creditors May Enforce Collec-
tion of Mortgages.
FIGURES ARE STARTLING

Great Change of Ownership In Prop
erty on the Island Likely to Result
From the Present Complicated Con.
dition of Affairs.
WASHINGTON, June 2L-Reports of
distress continue to reach Washington
from debtors in Cuba. Governor Gen.
eral Wood says that all classes of cred.
itors are at liberty to take action and
enforce the collection of mortgage cred
its on all kinds of property. Mortgages
on property in Cuba amount to $208,
OOO,0 ,000-$lOO 900, 900 of which is on city
real estate and the remainder on rural
property.
Seventy-nine per cent of the value of
city real estate is indebtedness and So
per cent of the value of the rural prop.
erty is Indebtedness.
The average annual income from the
city real estate is 10 per cent and that
from rural property is IA per cent.
In view OF these figures, war depart
ment officials express the opinion that
there is likely to be a great change of
ownership in property in Cuba.
Rural and agricultural properties, the
buildings which were destroyed during
the war, on which improvements have
not yet been made, are exempted from
the enforcement Of the mortgage claims.
The Platt Amendment.
Secretary Root has received a report
from Governor General Wood concern
ing affairs in Cuba, in which the gov
ernor general says that the action of the
constitutional convention in accepting
the Platt amendment as passed by con-
gress is received with general satisfac-
tion throughout the island. The great
difficulty which is now contended
with in Cuba is that relating to
commercial affairs and the necessity of
better markets for Cuban products with.
out the tariff restrictions in the United
States. Nothing can be done, however,
until the Cuban government is formed,
when a reciprocity arrangement may be
made, but this will require ratification
by the senate.
An order of General Wood relating to
debts and mortgages, it is understood,
will tide over the difficulties which were
feared q short time ago

delivered dissenting opinions, believing
the decision of the other Justices as
reaching too far. There are a score of
women lawyers in Tennessee who have
been patiently awaiting the decision.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the we'll known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured bv the

incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. It's perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and it's acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal

TROUBLE IN THE CHURCH

Sensational Resolutions Concerning
Pastor Discussed by Congregation of
Centenary NJ. E. Church, South,
Chattanooga.
CHATTANOOGA, June 2I.-It developed
today that at the quarterly conference
of Centenary M. E. Church, South, this
week, sensational resolutions were in
troduced and discussed concerning Rev.
j. A. Duncan, pastor. A clause sub
stantially charges heresy, based, it is
said, on statement from the pulpit
that he did not believe some things
taught by the church.
The principal grievance of the resolu-
tions was regarding alleged neglect of
duty as pastor, instances being cited
where pastoral duties had been neg
lected for pleasure.
Going to Annual Conference.
The resolutions were not adopted, it
being decided that the quarterly confer
ence was not of proper jurisdiction. The
dissatisfaction, which appears to be mu-
tual between church and pastor, will be
aired in annual conference in Knoxville

DR.. Duncan was transferred here,
after the last annual conference, much
against his will and that of the c6urch,
as he desired to remain at Knoxville,

DUEL TO THE DEATH.
Two Brothers Yesterday Engaged in
 Deadly Combat.

9 DeduIy 5ASOlupdl"
 Paterson, N. J., April S.-Two broth CTS fought duel to the death here to- day. It was one of the bloodiest eom- bats in the history of the city. One brother was armed with an ax. The other had pistol. Peter Paglncllo. the one who wielded the ax, is dead. Sabbatta Paginello. who used the re- volver, is wounded so seriously that he is not expected to recover.
 As far as can be ascertained, Sab- batta was the aggressor. The Italians who were present when the fight be- gan profess to know nothing about It, and the police have had difficulty ln getting at the facts.
 The Paginello brothers lived III Whites alley, a portion of the city where the Italians have congregated. For several years the brothers had been bitter enemies. Each had a fac ton and each had much influence among his countrymen at Paterson.
 The trouble between the brothers IS said to have originated Ehen their parents died in Italy and left some property to be divided between them. Peter accused Sabbatta of treating him unfairly, and Sabbatta thought Peter had taken more than his portion. All efforts of friends to patch up peace between the brothers failed. Their troubles developed into one of the feuds of the Italian colony of Paterson, and their friends had to choose on which side to enlist.
 Peter was in his home entertaining friends at q card party yesterday, when Sabbatta tried to enter the door. He was ordered off and departed vowiIg vengeance. Shortly afterward Sabbat- ta returned, and smashing window, crawled through and rushed at his brother; pistol in hand. The guests fled and the two brothers were left alone to battle.
 Peter saw that his, brother meant murder and, seizing an ax, prepared to defend himself Sabbatta began fir ing, but his aim was not true. Peter advanced and struck his brother across the face with the ax. Sabbatta fell. but continued firing. One bullet lodged in Peters abdomen and another in his back.
 When the police rushed in they found both men on the floor glarlng at each other, but both too weak to do further battle. Peter was taken to St Joseph's hospital. where he died. Sab batta was taken to the general hos pital. It is expected that he will die.
 The police station was besieged by Italians all eager to prevent any of their eountrymen from giving the po- lice any information.
