Pratt City was in a state of nervous excitement during all of yesterday. re- sulting from the outrageous murder of O. A. Boylston and the hunt for his murderen
 During the hours of Saturday night and yesterday eleven negroes were arr rested and placed in jail on suspicion of being connected with the crime, and it is the confident opinion of the officers that Coroner Paris spent the greater part of the day in Pratt City organizing a jury to investigate the killing.
 The jury was impannelled during the afternoon. but little work was done in the investigation. This morning at g o'clock this jury will reassembie and will make a thorough investigation of the affair."
 None of the negroes under arrest have been Identified. All disclaim any lenowl- edge of the crime. and especially main tain that they are innocent of any con- nection with it.
 Boylston from Atlanta. 1CuoWlHS BpSCldl ITOIu ALlduLd tells of Mn Boylston, the murdered mans Atlanta. May 1e-(speciaD. George A Boylston was well known among the business men of Atlanta. He was about forty years of age, and had been resi- dent of Atlanta for many years.
 His business interests in Birmingham required his attention and he went over there only two or three days ago. He expected to return this week.
 For the past six or eight months his home has been at Ddgewood. In the short time that he had lived there he had become very popular in the com mmity. He took an active interest in church work, and was regarded as one of the most substantial citizens in the suburb.
 Mrs. Boy1ston Is almost a. confirmed in- valid. She has no children. She and her husband lived in Edgewood and are prominent members of the Edgewood Methodist c',urch.
 Dr. H. M. Smith, who is a close neigh bor of the Boylstons received a telegram shortly after l o'clock this morning in- forming him of MT, Boylston's death. The telegram simply gave the bare fact that he had been murdered, and went into no details. Dr. Smith was asked to break the news of her husbands death to Mrs l Boyiston. As soon as he could prepare himself, he went to the Boylston home awakened Mrs. Boylston and told her thai MT. Boylston had been injured. She wal not told that her husband had been mur- dered Mrs. Boylston at once began to make preparations to go to Birmingham. Accompanied by friends she will leave this morning on the o'clock train over the Southern. In view of her own fraii health it was deemed best not to tell her at once that MT. Boylston was dead.

New York. April 16.-A dispatch to
| the Herald from Havana says:
Jacob G. Schurman. president of Cor
nell university. has been in Cuba for
ten days studying the political situa-
ton He visited four of the six prov
| inces Of the island. talked with Cubans
of all classes In their own tongue, and
followed closely current opinion as ex-
pressed In the Cuban newspapers, Of
which he is an indefatigable reader
President Schurman says:
1.-The people of Cuba are less excited
over the menace to Cuban sovereignty
supposed to be contained In the Platt
amendment than are the politicians of
Havana. Indeed, business men and
owners of property universally favor
an immediate acceptance of the amend
ment. Tough many told me they did
not dare state so publicly.
1.-The present political uncertainty is
paralyzing to the movements of capi-
tai, which is indispensable for the re-
covery of the prosperity Of the island.
So, too. a majority Of the educated
men of the country recognize the neces-
sity. from the Cuban point of view, Of
the protection and security guaranteed
by the Platt amendment. The opposi-

ignorant section of the community, al
though how far they have views of
their own and how far they are infiu-
enced by wire pulling politicians it is
difficult to determine.
Il have talked with both white and
colored men-and one-third Of the pop
ulaton Of Cuba is colored. Many Of
these have no ideas whatever on the
subject. On the other hand, l have
been surprised by the earnestness with
which both white and colored-colored
perhaps more than the white-have de-
claimed to me against the amendment
as menace to their liberties and an
insidious scheme for reducing them to
colonial dependence as oppressive as
that from which the war with Spain
delivered them.
''Of course the knowledge Of these
people is ill-proportioned to their zeal
The measure they oppose has no ex-
istence, but such is their idea Of the
amendment and such their attitude
toward the product Of their own imagi-
nation. Nor can you argue them out of
this state Of mind-the less so as they
represent the class that fought both in
surrectiOns against Spain for the inde-
pendence OF Cuba. Nothing but the
fact Of a self-governing Cuba will con-
vince these people that their liberties

built public works, opened schools and
contributed to the restoration Of prop
erty, but. like every other military gov
! ernment. it is incapable of generating
confidence. sympathy and affection be
tween rulers and people.
1.-THE greatest desideratum In Cuba is
the immediate substitution Of civil gov
ernment Of Cubans. for Cubans, by
Cubans, for the military government OF
the United States. But such a govern
ment will have no chance Of success at
home or abroad without the guarantees
carried in the Plat amendment, which,
am fully persuaded. Is desired in
it's essential contents by q majority Of
the people Of Cuba.
THE problem, therefore, is to get tho
convention to accept It. do not for
a moment question the ability and pa
triotism of the delegates, but believe
they are too much animated by the ir-
recOncilable spirit Of the revolution
against Spain, in which many Of them
were participants. but of which the
country is tired, knowing that the dan
ger Of tyranny, thanks to the United
States, has now passed away forever.
THE United States must insist on ae-
ceptance Of the Platt amendment. OPP
position Of the Cuban delegates must
be overcome. / believe both ends can
be attained by conference between a
committee Of the convention and Presi-
dent Mckinley. The Cubans will then
state their lesires to the highest au-
thority in the Republic, and the very
opportunity to do so will predispose
them to be consiliatory, and the tact and
diplomacy Of the President. combined
with the self-interest Of the Cuban
delegates. will discovery way. either
by defining the conditions of interven-
ton, or abandoning the Isle Of Pines.
or specifying the number of coaling
stations, or by some other formal con-
cessions. to reach an adjustment which
will save the face OF the delegates and
enable them to return to their political
parties bringing peace with honor. At
the same time the firmness of the Pres
ident may be equally trusted to main
tain the substance of an act OF Con-
gress, the terms of which he is required
to substantially enforce.
"Then will follow civil government in
Cuba by Cubans and a renewal of cor
dial relations with the United States,
and this consummation is devoutly to
be wished"

: paragraph in an American paper
the other day estimated the number of
British troops in South Africa at 290,-
900. A London newspaper just at hand
furnishes material to correct these fig
ures, for, making careful summary
OF all available forces. 1t finds that.
with the re-enforcements sent out a
month ago and the new Australian
contingent, the total British armed
strength in South Africa is 400 900.
The forces under Generals De Wet and
Botha being estimated at from 1000 to
1000 men. it appears that the British
are able to surround each fighting
burgher with from 100 to 200 men, u
disparity of strength probably without
precedent in the history of warfare.
The end of the war continues to be in
sight-in London.

York, the question having been raised
by counter proceeding of the wife
for divorce in New York. He con-
cluded that owing to the fact of her
former residence in Kentucky and the
fact that due notice had been givend
her. Mrs. Atherton was as much
bound by the Kentucky decree as II
she had been present in the court
when it was granted. Hence the de-
cision of the New York Supreme
Court in favor of the wife and against
the validity of the Kentucky decree,
was reversed.
The ether two cases also came from
New York. In the Bell case the ques-
tion Of the validity of decree grant
ed to the husband In Pennsylvania
was raised. and in the StreilwOlf case
the same question was raised concern
ing a decree granted to the husband In
North Dakota. In both cases the de-
crees were held to be invalid because
neither the husband nor the wife had
domicile In the state in which the d.
vorce was granted.
Therefore" said Justice Gray, ''the
DEGREES are not entitled to credit" In
those cases the findings of the New
York courts were affirmed.
In the Atherton cases Justice Peck.
ham dissented upon the ground that
the husband had been himself respon-
sible for the wife's change of resi-
dence.

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS
AS TO VALIDITY OF DIVORCES,

Washington, April 16.-The United
States Supreme Court to-day decided
a number Of cases involving the valid
ity in one state of divorce DEGREES
granted in other states. The court
held practically that In cases in which
the decree is granted in states where
the husband and wife have made their
legal residence it is valid in any part
of the United States, but that in 9th
er cases in which there is no legal res
idence In the state which the decree
is granted, they are invalid.
The opinions were handed down by
Justice Gray and involved the cases
Of Atherton VS.. Atherton, Bell VS.. Bell
and Streilwolf vs.. Streilwolf. In the
Atherton case the husband obtained
decree Of divorce in Kentucky. where
they had resided as husband and wife,
after the wife had left the husband
and gone to the home of her parents
In Clinton, New York.
In his opinion Justice Gray called
attention to and laid stress upon the
fact that Kentucky was the place of
their marital residence and he also
brought out the fact that notices of
the husbands petition for divorce had
been forwarded to New York and that
she had made no response. The Ken
lucky court thereupon had granted the
decree.
The question involved was. he said,
whether the decree was valid in New
