SLAVERY in THE SOUTH
IGNORANT NEGROES HELD BY SOUTH
CAROLINA PLANTERS.
Three Prominent Men Indicted by the
Grand Jury-COnvict Stockades
Visited ~ Committee.

COLUMBIA, S. c., March THE grand
jury of Anderson county to-day made its
report to Judge w c. Bennett and declared
that a practical enslavement of negroes has
been conducted I'm that county. The pre-
sentiment was prepared by special COM
mittee which visited the convict stockade
camps in Anderson county, and, it is al
legged, found confined therein negroes guilt
less of any felony. but undergoing term
of servitude under voluntary contracts
which they had signed in partial ignorance.
The charge of false Imprisonment was
made against ]. S. Fowler. p. B. Allen and
w. Q. Hammond, three OF the largest
planters and most influential men in An
derson county. The grand jury declared
that these men, who employ convicts from
the State, were also keeping confined I'm
their stockades negroes who for some petty
cause had been sent there, although con-
victed before no officer of the law.
The negroes in the county are under the
impression that all labor contracts now in
existence are practically nullified by the
action of the court, and there is a general
state of Generalization just at the time
when crops are being planted.
Judge Bennett, in speaking to the grand
jury after the report had been presented.
resented the alleged interference of cer-
tain newspapers claiming TO have made an
exposure OF conditions in Anderson county.
He stated that there is no need of inter-
ference by federal courts. I'VE will deal
with this matter without outside help he
said. 1.-The testimony of negroes is valid
evidence in the state courts. There is no
politics, no party or race issues at stake
Ii is the righting of a grievous wrong, and
the court protests against the idea of out
side interference. The evil will be stamped
out, for public sentiment at home is
against it," He declared that the Legis-
lature has already taken steps that will
result in the abolition of the system of
hiring convicts to private parties, and that
there can then be no opportunity to confine
freed men.
Judge Bennett declared that the pre-
sentiment brought pitifh details. 1t told Of
illegal arrests and Imprisonment, of cruel
whipping. of prolonged Imprisonment with
out even tie form of a trial, of kidnapping
negroes from other counties and even from
Georgia. of fear to give testimony, refusal
to testify and. most pitiful of all. of poor
negroes protesting to being satisfied and
contented.

United States Proposition Referred to
the Special Committee on Re-
Iations for Consideration.
GENERAL SANGUILLY UNHAPPY
WANTED THE PROPOSAL SENT BACK
TO WASHINGTON.
Constitution Makers Now of Opinion
thnt They Have Authority to
Dispose Of the Question.

HAVANA, March 1.-The Cuban constitu-
tional convention met In secret session this
afternoon for formal discussion of the
Platt amendment. The conservative ele-
ment scored a victory. 1t decided to
continue the sessions of the convention and
refer the amendment to the special commit
tee on relations with instructions to bring
in a report.
Thirty -nirfe delegates were present, Senor
Llorente and General Rivera being the only
absentees. General Sanguilly favored dis
solving the convention and returning the
amendment without discussion. The other
delegates were unanimously in favor of
continuing the sessions and of sending some
answer to the executive department in
Washington. The argument turned on the
question whether the convention had power
to adopt a scheme of relations that would
be binding on the future republic. Last
week a majority of the delegates opposed
this view. To-day Senor Nunez, represent
ing the Conservatives. argued that the dele
gates were empowered I'm the call for the
convention to establish permanent relations
with the United States and ought not to
attempt to shirk this duty.
General Sanguilly contended that the in
tention of the origial call was annulled by
Governor General Woods instructions at
the opening of the convention, when dele
gates were asked to give only an opinion.
The radical element did not flock to Gen.
eral Sanguilly, as had been expected, and
the conventions action in referring the
question to the special committee on re-
lations indicates a willingness 10 recede
from the former attitude. 1t is evident
that many of the delegates still hope the
amendment will be changed. but there Is
no bitter feeling now apparent. 1t is doubt
full whether the convention will ever agree
to accept the amendment, but conserva-
tives maintain that the willingness of the
radicals to discuss and. If necessary, to
send a committee TO Washington. gives
more hopeful aspect to conditions, which
were growing strained
1t is generally believed that the crisis,
IL any existed. has passed. and that by
the time the committee reports the pres
ent excitement will have died out. Much
depends on the attitude of the radical dele
gates If an impassioned appeal to the
people is issued. ii is rumored will be
the case, this may cause demonstrations
OF protest against the United States, but
nothing in the nature of an uprising is any
longer feared.

general principle to be adopted in the case
