Washington Correspondence of the Ph

Washington Correspondence of the Phil
 adelphia North American.
 A large, well proportioned man with a fiorid complexion and distinguished curl to his iron gray moustache passed through the navy yard gate in a car- riage one day last week. All the ma rines on duty there came to a ''present" l" and then one of them sped on down the gravelel walk ahead of the carriage un- til he reached the commandant's resi- dence. Other marines were by this time flying away at some big guns down by the river By this time the gray mous- tache man had alighted. His attention was attracted by the unwonted commo- tion, and he hailed young officer who was passing with the question, What s all this row about, sir7''
 The officer came to a halt, squared around and saluted as if on parade.
 'Why, general, he answered, with won- der in his voice and look, they're get ting ready to fire off the guns for you. p
 And who the devil do they think I am?" demanded the visitor.
 'sWhy, General Miles, of course, sir"
 General Miles be hanged!" thundered the other. as the inwardness of the situa- ton dawned upon him. I'm no gen. erai. am a plain. ordinary coal oper- ator, and my name is William P Rend, of Chicago"
 The gunners were notified before the fuse was applied.

TENNESSEE ALSO
 HAS 4 LYNCH|NG Charley Davis Hanged for As-
 sauIting Miss HueS WILD SCENE IN COURT ROOM Prisoner Attempted to Defame the Girls Character, When Friends
 and Relatives Made Rush for .fei the Man--Many Injured. 
WILD SCENE IN COURT ROOM

Smithville, Tenn, August 2-The first lynching in the annals of DeKalb county took place this morning when Charley Davis, the man who was charged with rape on the person of Miss Kate Hues on last Sunday evening was taken from the court house by mob of about twenty five friends and relatives of the young lady and hung about a quarter of a mile from town.
 The assault on Miss Hues was commit ted nst Sunday evening and Monday morning Davis was taken before the magistrate. He submitted his case and the trial was set for today.
 Court had met and the trial begun. when the defendant introduced witnesses to defame the girls character. The father had said that he would not join or allow any violent measures unless this action was taken by the defendant. When the witness began to give his testimony the friends and relatives of the girl arose and made for the prisoner.
 For a time there were wild scenes and the people were very much excited. The prisoner made an effort to escape by jumping from the second story of the court room. Several pistol. shots were fired In the confusion and Davis was cap tured before he could jump.
 The sheriff, one of his deputies and Con- stable Bass, who were trying to prevent the lynching together with the father of the defendant, were severely injured in 6 clash with the mob. The wounded of- fioers are Shreiff J. T. Odum, Deputy Bot Odum and Constable Nancy Bass.
 Milton Hues the father of the victim, Is a prominent grocer In Smithville and the mob was composed almost entirely of his friends and relatives. There were about twenty-five men in the mob.
 After the execution of Davis the mol dispersed and while excitment Is high there is no danger of further trouble.

CUBAN CONVENTION
Considering Separately Provisions of e. the Electoral Bill.

Havana, August 1.-The Cuban consti- tutional convention today began to con- sider separately the provisions of the electoral bill, taking up first of all the qualifications of candidates for office.
 There was also some discussion regard ing the freedom of presidential electors to vote for whom they choose. Senor Sanguilly maintained that 1t would be better to elect the President by the di- rect vote of the people than to have the electors bound to vote for a special can didate. He favored change in the con- stitution in this respect.
 As a result of the discussion of the qualifications of Governor, representa- tive, provincial legislator or presiden- tial elector the convention decided that candidates must be either of Cuban birth or naturalzed, with a residence of eight years in Cuba after the naturalization.
