Charleston, S. c.. April 1S.-Twenty
seven or more leading lumbermen of
the two Carolinas, Georgia, Florida and
Virginia held an important meeting
here to-day. 1t was the regular
monthly conference of the Georgia
Sawmlil Association, with the other
gentlemen here at the request of the
Georgia. organization. The prime OBJ
ject of the gathering was to bring the
lumhermen of the South in closer touch
with one another, thereby allowing each
the opportunity of becoming better dc-
quainted with the general conditions
of the trade and to insure as far as
possible harmonious cooperation by all
in the maintenance of the price lists
of the respective associations.
The majority of the matters disposed
of were purely of a routine nature.
Every enc present spoke in encourag-
ing terms of the trade and of better
times Tor the future.
A resolution was adopted looking to
the appointment of a general confer
ence committee to consist of two rep
resentatives of all the associations
present. This will greatly facilitate
the work of the lumbermen and do
away with the expenditure of much
time and money in holding regular
monthly meetings. as two men on such
occasions will be able to transact the
business of the entire association. This
conference committee will be appoint
ed by President Tiff at an early date.

to attend a conference. Mr.. Gates was
there and briefly explained that he and
his friends had bought the road. Mr..
Belmont did not seem at all disturbed.

to have remarked to Mr.. Gates, land

All Americans Now Under Arrest
in Cuba.

Havana. April 1S.-The Audencia
Court to-day accepted the bond of
100000 offered by a fidelity company

that this bond be drawn before a no

Rathbone's case seems to have
stirred Cuban sentiment strongly in his
favor, and the movement to ask for a
