ions clearly as TO the dominant questions in

ing the question of the Patt amendment,
and as to whether this should be revised not.
Complete minutes of the proceedings for
warded to Sehor Palma along with the request
for statement of his position. In the course
of his reply he says regarding the question of a
commercial treaty:
The United States Government favors mutual
concessions such would help Cuban products,
especially sugar; but. as Cuba for some years
will be dependent upon her income from Gus
toms, skill will be needed in deciding what
cessions she can safely offer.
Regarding finance he says:
Cuba is new nation and must not be X
travag CANT She should adjust her expenditure
to her income and resources
Regarding the payment of the army loan,
Sehor Palma recognizes the principle that the
army must be paid, but adds:
The lists must be carefully examined; and the
Cuban Congress should reduce the rate of pay
for officers and men which the revolutionary
government allowed.
Regarding treaty. ations he said.
The Cuban Government in making a treaty
should try to interpret the Platt amendment
to give il the meaning most favorable to the
interests of Cuba and to her sovereignty and in
dependence She will fulfil the treaty, but
poets the United States TO do likewise and 10
respect her independence which is recognized by
of the clauses of the Patt amendment in the
most solnen manner.
The views of Seflor Palma were almost unani-
mously approved.

RUMORS IN ASHVILLE
PROBABLE FATE OF JIM BROWN
 DISCUSSED.
sheriff North and the Cooler Headed Citizens are Determined That
 the Law Shall Take Its Course.

Birmingham. Aug. 21.-(SpeciaD-A special from Ashville says that Jim Brown, the negro who was taken to that place yesterday under a strong guard to be tried at a special term or court for assault to rape Miss Garrett near Springville. spent a quiet night m jail list night. The trial of Brown be- gins tomorrow. There are still many Iccple in Ashville and considerable oppressed excitement prevails.
 The special states that report was circulated last night that the negro will be hanged by a mob as soon as he was tried, but that he would be carried outside of the jurisdiction of the off cials and citizens of St. Clair county in order that the word of the citizens that there would be no lynching m their county could be kept. The people of 'Ashville do not credit this rumor. Another story which Is going the rounds is that Brown will be hanged as soon as he is sentenced by the court. the argument being, it is said. that this will ba carrying out the will Of the law, as tn chatter will hang him any way. This report is also discredited. Should there be an attempt to get pos session of Brown by a mob serious trouble may occur.
 Sheriff North. who is determined man, feels that to a large extent the honor of the county. as well as his of- ficial honor. Is at stake. and he VIII offer very decided opposition to any at tempt to take the prisoner from him. He has placed a heavy guard, well armed. around the jail and an equally formidable one on the inside. It Is 1udg- ed from this that mob would have a very hard time getting the prisoner unless 1t takes him from the court room during the progress of the trial.
 There are many citizens of Spring vile. where the assault took place at Ashville. and the fact that they coun- sel moderation and urge that the law be allowed to take its course. has done much so it is pointed out to keep the hot heads from becoming demonstra- tive. The trial tomorrow is expected to be brief and it Is already regarded as a foregone conclusion that Brown will be given the extreme penalty Of the law, a death sentence.

STORM WAS TERRIFIC.
Houses Struck by Lightning and
 Much Damage Done.

Admission, Aug. 21.-(Special.)-A terrific electrical and rain storm pass ed over Anniston yesterday afternoon, and considerable damage was done to several houses that were struck by lightning. Several families had very narrow escapes.
 About o'clock a bolt of lightning struck the Leighton Avenue home of Congressman-elect Sydney J. Bowie. The bolt struck and tore up one of the chimneys and a large part of the roof sending the shingles flying across the street. Members of MT. Bowie's family were sitting in a room up stairs, and in an adjoining room sat several rela- tives guests at ,his home. The bolt of lightning after knocking down the chimney. passed to the second and first stories, knocking out the grates in four rooms and running the carpets and other-furniture. No one was hurt, but all in the house were badly frightened and slightly shocked. The escape of those in the house was marvellous.
 During the storm a bolt struck the home of Mrs. l.. A. Richmond. on Walnut Stret. tearing big patches of shingles off the roof, greatly idamag- ing the interior walls and floors and knocking out several panes of glass. The family were at home and their
