CUBAN RELATIONS.
Convention Still Discussing Relations
With United States.

Havana, Feb. 26.-The Cuban cOnstitu-
tional convention met in executive session
this afternoon and. discussed the question
of the future relations between Cuba and
the United States. 1t was evident that
the delegates were deeply impressed with
the recommendations of the United States
committee on relations with Cuba, cabled
from Washington. When Senior Nunez
was asked bis opinion be said
"Ihat settles 1t. If the United States
government insists on naval stations
have nothing to say"
The report the special committee on
relations declared that any scheme OF re-
lations accepted by the convention could
not bind the future republic and must be
approved by the Cuban Congress. The
members of the committee were unani'
nous on this point. The report was rather
in the nature of suggestions, showing no
substantial variation from the forecast
already cabled.
Senor Nunez introduced q resolution
that the convention should appoint COM
mittee from the United States Congress to
discuss the question. This proposal WAS
not favored by majority of the delegates
but no action was taken upon-it. The
general discussion was adjoure' until to-
morrow.

attempt to rayage Cape Colony "has ev-
identity completely failed"
Some of this mornings London papers
are more optimistic. They assert that
General De Wet, as enc of the incidents
of the Boer war. may now be considered
as disposed of. They calculate that his
only alternative is to rush into the arms
of the British columns which bar bis pro-
gress norlhward and they anticipate that
this much desired climax must now be
matter of mere hours.
Along with the news of General De
Vets collapse comes official tidings of
heavy British successes in the Eastern
Transyall where General French continues
persistently to drive General Botha's army
towards the Swazl borderland.
Up to February l6 the Beers had lost
nearly 800 il killed and wounded, one
gun, 2S9 prisoners and tremendous guam
titles of ammunition and rifles and sup
plies, including $500 horses, $4,000 cat
tie and l55, 900 sheep.
The British losses during the same per-
iod amount to forty.six killed and liz
wounded.
General Botha's troops are said to be
falling back in disorganised parties in
front of General French's wide sweeping
advances.

A ROUGH EXPERIENCE.
An Aged Victim of the Galveston cd
Tells a Pitlfai Story.

Bristol, Tenn, Feb. 26.-Mrs. Rebe~@a
Robinson, aged rs, has arrived here IN
route from Galveston to her home fifteen
miles West of Richmond. Mrs. Robinson
who is a niece of Andrew Jackson and
whose husband was nephew of John
Robinson, of circus fame, tells pitiful
story. She went to Galveston to visit her
son, George Robinson, who married a
Galveston girl and was merchant there.
Mrs Robinson escaped death in the
Galveston flood by having gone forty
miles out to attend Methodist confer
ence. On her return she found that her
son, wife and four children had been
drowned and could find no trace of the
house in which they had lived except por'
tions of the foundation. She received no
part Of the relief funds.
The aged woman started afoot for her
Virginia home and although crippled IN
one foot walked to New Orleans, dis
tance of 2O9 miles. Mrs. Robinson states
that so far as she observed the Galveston
relief fund never reached the starving peo
ple but was held at Houston to be used in
rebuilding homes.
Mrs. Robinson will leave for Richmond
as soon as she can be provided with
railroad ticket.

OFFICERS ASSAULTED.
A Lively Time at Cedar Bluff Last
Thursday

On last Thursday, Charles Wingo vas
brought before Justices j.. L. Beavers and
R. l.. Davis at Cedar Bluff, upon a charge
of stealing a gun. The warrant upon
which Wingo was tried was Issued
by Squire T. A. Gillespie. Upon the
hearing Justices Beavers and Davis
sent Wingo on to the grand jury. There
upon he asked to be bailed, and "Bub'
Wingo, brother of the accused, offered to
become bus bondsman. Squire Gillespie
had been called upon to prepare mitti'
mus. Soon after refusal to accept "Bu0" "
Wingo on the bail bond he cursed Squire
Beavers for refusing to accept him and
made an assault upon him. Squire Gil
lespie, who was writing the mittimus in the
post Office, hearing the noise outside ran
out and commanded the peace. There
upon French Wingo, father Of the accused,
made an assault upon Squire Gillespie
with club and Club" Wingo and Lind
sey Lester "a brother-in-law of the accused,
iyined in the assault. In some way the
parties we're separated; but in brief time
French and "Bub" Wingo made second
assault upon Squire Gillespie, this time
"Bub" used brass knucks and knife.
He struck the Squire on the head and
the left cheek with the knucks and cut
him slightly in the side with the knife, In
the meantime the Squire, whose blood
was up, was pounding French Wingo
pretty soundly. Mr.. Samuel w. Laird,
who was close by, saw "Bub" Wlngo
using the knife and jerked him
aside. "Bub" asked what Laird had to
do with it, Laird replied have no time
to talk now and proceeded to knock Bub"
down with his "log rule" which be used
as a walking stick. After Mr.. Laird had
knocked "Bub" down and Squire Giles
pie had given French pretty good drub'
bing, the Wingos departed hastily, Chas.
Wingo making his escape. He was fol-
lowed by officers to Swords Creek, arrest
ed and brought to Jail, and has since been
bailed. "Bub" is still at large, but a war;
rant is out for his arrest. French Wingo
will also be brought before the grand jury.

prove of the suggestion that there should
be "sprinklihg" of Republicans elected
TO the constitutional convention. The
Dispatch expresses the fear that the
"sprinkle" might become shower; and
urges that the convention be made - SOL
idly Democratic as possible. A partisan
convention can hardly be expected to
make fair constitution.
1t is supremely ridiculous in Senator
Daniel, Of Virc mia, and Senator Tillmzn,
Of South Carolina. lo express such deep
soiicitude for the civil, political and con-
stitutionsl rights Of the inhabitants Of the
Philippines. If they were little more
solicitous about the constitutional rights
of citizens of their own States, persons
would have more respect for their opinions
with regard to ihe Filipinos.
One of the most important questions
now agitating the public mind Is that Of
good roads. The introduction OF automo'
biles has contributed largely TO this inter-
est. The only way to have good roads 70
to spend money largely and jadiciousiy'
and the only way to get the money n Dy
taxation. We have frequently said that
the heaviest taxes the people Of Tazewell
county pay are those paid 10 the bad
roads.
After being silent so long Admiral
Sampson could not have done q more
foolish thing than to have written the Let

ton is not sound or in good taste. III
there are men in the ranks OF the navy
who are worthy Of promotion they should
be promoted 10 offices. Ability to man.
age ships and command men are higher
considerations than qualifications to per-
form social functions.
The Richmond Times still continues TO
urge the adoption Of a poIl'lsx quaiidcs-
ton for voting. 1t advocates the "pre-
payment of the poll.tax one or two years
in advance as prerequisite to voting"
This the Times says will eliminate the
ignorant and vicious vote. 1t would ds-
franchise one.half the voters in Virginia,
and is vicious proposition. The poor
and ignorant are not the most vicious part
of our population. The educated scoun'
drel is the most vicious.

If The United States Troops Are I'M
mediately Withdrawn.
DENIES THE STORIES OF UNREST.
Says There Is no Foundation For Such
Reports and Should The Troops
be Withdrawn He WOnld 90
With Them.

Havana, February 27.-GeneraI Gomez
visited Governor General Wood this
morning and assured him that the stories
of unrest and dissatisfaction at the cOntin
uance of The United States intervention
were false, and that he had been misrep-
sented in statements to the effect that he
favored All immediate withdrawal of the
United States troops and giving Cuba abb
soute independence. If they withdrew
now he feared bloodshed, beyond doubt.
Within sixty days the Cubans would be
fighting amcng themselves. General Co
mez added "If the Americans were to
withdraw today, would 60 with them"
General Gomez said that he recognized
the fact that the United States was re-
sponsble for the establishment of stable
government in Cuba and could not with
draw until such a condition was brought
about. The work of handing over the
reins of government to the new republic
was an undertaking involving much time
and labor and large amount of study
and experience on the part OF the CubaLs
in the work of self government. The gen
eral also said the element in control of the
municipalities was not working in the in
terest of the island. The officials were in
experienced and could not be given free
hand 1t would mean the destruction and
ruin of the island.
General Wood said the greatest diff.
Guilty experienced was in getting the con-
servative element interested III municipal
governments. His purpose was to bring
the best element to the front. The COM
ing municipal elections would pave the
way for the elections to be held under the
law being drawn up by the convention.
General Gomez bad no objection to the
outline of the future relations between the
United States and Cuba as recommended
by the United States. He thought, how
ever, that it would be better for the
United States to lease land for naval sta
tions instead of purchasing outright.
: After discussion of several hours the
convention adopted one article defining
the proposed relations, namely that Cuba
would not make treaties with any country
which would endanger the sovereignty of
tine republic or allow the island to be made
the base of war operations against the
United States or any other country.
These last four words we've added after a
warm debate. The advocates of this
clause maintained that Cuba should re-
main neutral, as a war carried on in the
island would only reeult in the ruin Of is
agricultural interests, which had already
suffered greatly. and had not yet fully
recovered.
Senior Giberga said that, in accepting
the scheme of relations outlined by the
United States, they would be adopting
the only guarantees of peace in the island,
and of keeping off other nations desirous
of making Cuba base of operations.
Most of the delegates openly declared
that the dispatches from the United States
purporting to set forth the idea of the
Senate are "fake" kilograms, sent to intiu-
ence the convention.

Serious Cutting Affair.

On last Saturday, the 23rd inst, a very
serious cutting affair took place at Browns
distilery in Little Valley, in this county.
A man by the name of Hampton Wiles
did the cutting, and Mr.. Robert E.
Osborne, who is storekeeper and guager at
the distillery, was the victim.
1t seems that Wiles had been drinking
and insisted on Mr.. Osborne drinking
with him. The latter being a steady,
sober man refused to drink, and Wilcs
tried to force bis bottle on Osborne
Mr.. Osborne knocked the bottle from
Wlles' hand, and thereupon he drew "A
knife and commenced to slash Osborne.
He cut him in six or more places, two of
the wounds being very severe ones. One
wound extended from the left shoulder
down and along the left arm to the elbow,
the cash being an ugly one. Another
wound, six inches long was, made In the
left side just above the waist. The other
wounds were smaller.
DR.. Crockett, of Liberty Hill was sent
for and gave MIR. Osborne the necessary
surgical attention.
On Monday, Wiles, who had been ar
rested by citizens of the neighborhood,
WAS taken before Squire W. L. Moore, at
L berty Hill, and was sent on for indicl'
ment by the grand jury. On Monday he
was brought to town by Messrs A. =.
French and M. Z. Osborne and lodged In
Jail.
