The Cuban View.

Havana, February 25.-The constitu- tional committee on relations between Cuba and the United States held a long session Saturday afternoon and afterward conferred with number of delegates to the convention. At the private session the members of the convention unani- mously agreed that some form of rela- tions should be drawn up showing the gratitude of Cuba to the United States, must be in conformity with the views of the people of Cuba, and must not en- danger the sovereignty of the Republic.
 The right of the United States to in- tervene for the preservation of peace and the establishment and maintenance of naval stations were considered dangerous to Cuban sovereignty, and on these two questions the difficulty hinged.
 It is understood that the committee was agreeable to accepting the provision of the treaty of Paris with reference to the former clause giving the United States the right to intervene only when the Republics s sovereignty is endangered or the government is incompetent to pre- serve peace. A compromise was suggested with reference to the question of naval stations, providing that 1t be agreed that the United States be allowed to fortify and occupy in time of war, the same as at Dry Tortugas,
 The committee meets again to-day to sign the report for submission to the executive session of the convention to be held this afternoon

THIRD BODY HAS
 BEEN RECOVERED Last Victim of Tuscaloosa Mine Disaster Found Near the
 Mouth of Shaft

Tuscaloosa, February 25.-(Specal)- The body of Dock Fostor, the last of the three miners who were drowned in the unfortunate accident at the hospital mines, near this place, has been found The body, like those of Pomp Stokes and Jeff Hammer, was lying near the mouth of the shaft, showing conclusively that the unfortunate negroes had made des- perate effort to reach the shaft and es- cape from the flood of water which en- veloped them on every side. The three dead bodies were carefully attended to by the hospital authorities and every thing possible done to make the ten res cued miners comfortable. These latter are now fully recovered from their ex- citing experience of imprisonment for sixty-three hours in the mines with very little to eat and the prospect of a lin gerng death constantly before them.
 State Mine Inspector J. D. B. Hooper has been here ever since he received news of the accident, which occurred at 2 O clock Wednesday afternoon. The water has been pumped out of the mine and there is no more danger

 SELMA.
Negro Badly Hurt-Another One
 Frightened-Other News.

Selma, February 25.-(Special )-Yes- terday as a freight train from Meridian over the Southern Railway rolled into the city a negro with the top of his head seemingly knocked off was seen lying on top of one of the box cars. An investiga- ton disclosed the fact that the negro was alive, and he was carried to the hospital where his wounds were dressed and he was made as comfortable as possible. Nose Brown is his name and he was stealing ride from Marion Junction, When the train approached the bridge across the Cahaba river the negro arose from the top of the car on which he had been crouching just in time to be struck by the bridge. He was almost scalped by the blow, and the wonder Is that he did not fall to the ground instead of remaining on top of the car.
 There was a great deal of excitement in the vicinity of the market this morn ing occasioned by Officer Alex Carr shooting at a negro by the name Of Lewis Anderson. The negro had been caught stealing coal from a car in the yard of the Southern Railway, and was turned over to two young men to be car ried to the calaboose. When near the lookup the negro broke away from them and was making his escape when Officer Carr came to their assistance. As the officer fired the negro fell to the ground and cried out that he was shot all to pieces, but on making an examination not a spot could be found on him. 1t was a case of imagination that did as we'll as if the bullet had hit the mark.
 This morning at o'clock the motion for the appointment of appraisers in the Birmingham, Selma and New Orleans Railroad crossing matter was heard be- fore Probate Judge P G. Wood. The Southern, whose tracks are to be crossed and which has succeeded upto this time in preventing the crossing being put in, took no exceptions to the appointment of appraisers, and the judge appointed L. W. Hubbard, E. M. Byrne and J. J. Bab- cock. A special train immediately took these three gentlemen down to the site of the proposed crossing and this after noon they held a meeting and decided to fix the damages sustained by the Soutn- ern at $4 50 which Is 50 cents less than the amount as fixed by the appraisers appointed before which was knocked out by the Supreme Court

PROSPECTORS ARE
 BUYING OPTIONS
Oil and Phosphate Fever Reviv-
 ed at FIorenCe-0ther Items of interest

Florence, Feb. 25-(Special.) )-Par- ties are taking options on Shoal creek property, north of this city about ten miles, and are prospecting for phos- phate. Phosphate has been known to exist along Shoal creek for several years past, but whether it is in pay ing quantities will have to be determ- ined by test holes and experts.
 The interest in oil has been revived again in this section of the Tennes- see valley and many believe oil can be found if wells are bored. The val ley is in the trend of the mountains that furnish the Pennsylvania oil fields, and it is in line with the fam ous Texas fields recently discovered. Parties are taking options on the south side of the river from Tuscum- bia to Pride's Station.
 The cold weather of the past few days has been the severest of the sea son. The cold spell has one good of feet, as it has checked the develop ment of fruit trees and vegetation in general and has doubtless saved the fruit which was well advanced at the time of the freeze, which was not damaged. The buds had already be- .grln, to swell and another week of warm weather would have advanced the trees so that a freeze would have killed the buds. Farmers report the wheat crop as not very promising ow- ing to the open winter. A good snow would be a godsend to the farmers who have wheat in, as it would insure a good crop. Peas are very scarce and are too expensive for most farm CTS to buy to plant. Corn is worth 60 cents a bushel at the crib.
 Sheriff Hill has returned from Nash vile with David Edgar, charged with being implicated in tho recent East Florence robberies. Edgar had been in correspondence with parties in this city and the matter was traced up In this way. It is thought the officers are now in a fair way to apprehend the gang that did the work here and in Sheffield.
 Mrs. E. Fort. aged S2, died yester- day at the residence of her son-in-law, pr. William P Rice. The funeral took place yesterday afternoon and the re- mains were buried at the old family burying ground near the city. Mrs. Fort had been in feeble health for several years and while her death was sudden it was not unexpected.
 The residence of Cain Leech was destroyed by fire at an early hour yesterday morning. The house and contents were a complete loss, with no insurance. The loss is estimated at $500.
