The New school BuiIding-RailrOnd
Bridge Washed Away.
Dublin, Ga, April 4.-Following the
plan adopted by the stockholders of the
Dublin Cotton Mills, the new school build
ing may be erected by day labor 1t is
estimated that no reputable contractor
would undertake to erect a $4,000 building
unless profit of from 50, 900 to 5000 was
in sight, and this sum could be saved
by the city, think some of the aldermen.
1t may be possible that competent
workman will be employed by the city at
good salary, and the erection Of the
building turned over to him.
Tomorrow night or Saturday, the fol-
lowing pupils of the Dublin public schools
will contest for the honor of represent
ing the schools at the oratorical contest
scheduled to take place at Sandersvilie
on the 19th inst, two to be selected:
Misses Bertha Brantley, Matte Haynes,
Ida Prescott and Ida Belle Williams, and
Masters J. A. Peacock, Jr., Leo p. Baum,
Ben Walker and Alton Huffman. At the
contest in Sandersville, pupils from that
town, Dublin. Sparta, Tennille, Wrights-
vile, Louisville and other towns will en-
ter the contest. Gold medals will be given
the successful girl and boy contestants.
Owing to the fact that the Macon, DUB
lin and Savannah Railroad bridge across
the Ocmulgee river at Macon, washed
away Tuesday night last, the people living
along the line of that road are being much
Inconvenience. They can now get ne1tn-
er mail or freight over the road. all the
coaches and engines, except the engine
of the wood train being on the Macon
side of the river 1t is thought that ar
engagements will shortly be made with the
Central road for the use of the bridge
across the Ocmulgee, belonging TO that
line, until the Macon and Dublin road can
construct at least temporary bridge.

CONFERRED WITH GEN. WOOD.
Cuban Radicals Have the PIntt
Amendment Nicely Explained to
Them by the Government

Aht
Havana, April 4.-The so-called radical
element in the Cuban constitutional con-
vention, including Seniors Juan Gomez,
Portuondo, Aleman and Manduley, held
conference to-day with Gov. Gen. Wood
regarding the Plat amendment. Gen.
Wood said that the United States govern
ment intended to deal justly and honest
ly by the Cubans. and had no desire to
retain possession of the island. He point
ed out that the Piatt amendment was
drawn up primarily with the view to pro-
tecting a weak nation against outsiders,
as well as against internal strife, and
would not interfere with Cuban independ-
ence. He explained that the Washington
Interpretation of Clause of the scheme
OF relations was that the Unit
ed States claimed the right to
intervene solely for the purpose of pre-
serving the Independence of the island,
maintaining an adequate force to protect
life, property and Individual liberty and
completing the obligations imposed by the
treaty of Paris upon the United States.
He expressed the opinion that. in draw
ing up a treaty, many points In the fu-
ture relations of Cuba with the United
States might be more clearly explained
to meet present objections. The dele
gates retired apparently pleased with the
interview. Senior Portuondo said he
thought everything would be settled sat
isfadtorily. He is in favor of
of the appointment of commission to
go to Washington and expects favorable
results from such step.
Orders were issued to-day, directing the
holding of municipal elections throughout
Cuba June /.
There will be fifteen days for registra-
tion, beginning April 10.

MAY BE a MURDER.
Body Showing Violence Found Float
ing Near Marshall Hall.

What may develop into a murder was
brought 20 light yesterday by the finding
of the body of a man apparently about
forty years of age, floating in the Poto-
mac at GunsOn's Wharf. four miles below
Marshall Hall. Nd. The remains were
taken from the river by John Sheppard.
a resident OF the neighborhood. and turn
ed over to a constable. Indications of foul
play are apparent. the head of the man
being hacked in several places. Evidently
the remains had been in the water a
month or more. and Identification is i'm
possible. An inquest will probably be
held today by the Maryland authorities.
News of the finding of the body was
reported to Harbor Master Sutton last
night by Capt. Harry Randall. of the
steamer Randall. According to his story
it appears that Sheppard was out in his
boat inspecting several nets. when he saw
the body and rowed out to investigate.
Because the remains were entangled in
the meshes of a long trap net, it took
some time to free them, and tow them TO
the shore. Sheppard made the body fast
to stake at the wharf about noon and
notified the constable, who viewed the
remains. Sheppard. with others, was told
10 be present this morning at an enquiry
into the manner in which the man met
death
Theories were numerous yesterday as to
the case, but there appears 10 be little
doubt that the man was murdered and
his body thrown into the river. Whether
the crime took place here or at any Point
on the river front is vet TO be determined
Examination of the body shows mark 5

neck The body was but partially clothed
