Will REMAIN IN CUBA
UNITED STATES TROOPS WILL NOT
BE WITHDRAWN AT PRESENT.

for "Ffghting Bob"

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-Though recog-
nizing in the request of the Cuban govern
ment for the withdrawal Of the remaining
American troops in Cuba a very natural
desire to remove all traces Of foreign occu-
ties here will order the withdrawal only
on the completion of the permanent treaty
contemplated in the Plat amendment.
Both that amendment and the Cuban Con-
stitution provide that a permanent treaty
shall be signed between the United States
and Cuba whereby each government shall
assume certain distinct obligations. Cuba,
for its part, Is not to make foreign treaties
impairing her independence; is not to as
sumo excessive Indebtedness; is to recog-
nize the right of Intervention of the United
States to protect lives and property and in
dependence; is to validate all the acts Of
the military occupation; is to continue the
sanitary measures inaugurated; is to sell
or lease to the United States lands for coal
ing naval stations, and is to adjust the
title to the Isle Of Pines in subsequent
treaty. For it's part the United States is to
maintain the independence of Cuba and
protect individual life, property and liberty.
ment that the Cuban government has a
sufficient distinc.ively Cuban army at hand
to undertake to care for these things itself.
Moreover, it is regarded essential that
those touching coaling stations and the
ownership of the Isle of Pines be expressly
arranged for in treaty that shall be alb
solutely binding for both parties, and only
when these things are done will the small
remaining force Of United States troops be
withdrawn.

that those who strive after popularity new

the days of slavery the disease was so sell

considered almost immune to ii. In fact
some of the older writer's toook the stand
squarely, and asserted that CONSUMPTION

thus so rare as to be almost unknown, il

ravages of this disease are becoming truly
alarming.
The following quotation from a paper on
the Future or the Colored Race in the
United States, published some years ago
by Dr. Eugene Corson, Is interesting, in
this connection He says: "All the infor-
nation which / have been able to Obtain

healthy one, even healthier in the main
than the whites. Since the war things
have been reversed; the colored race as a

will show that the latter is less able TO

says: There Is one great difference be-

Turning from the physical condition of

negroes in this section. and the same is
true of the South generally. have under

the development of mental diseases as is
shown by no other people in a similarly
short period of time in the whole history
of mankind. L will take the statistics of
our own State, Georgia, typical South

more interest to this society than would
those OF the whole United States. In forty
years the total negro population in the
State has been little more than doubled.
while the number of insane has increased
twentyfold. No other such rapid and rad
ical change in the mental stability of a
race Is recorded in history The outburst
OF insanity becomes still more remarkable
when we consider that for generations
prior to 1860 the colored people had been
free from mental disease. 1t has devel-

A TENNESSEE LEGISLATOR.

j. Walter Peak, a state senator of Ten
nessee, whose home is in Chattanooga. was
a caller at the Governors office Yesterday.
Mr.. Peak is Democrat who has achieved
the distinction of being reelected to the
Tennessee Legislature in a district that is
rampant with Republicanism He is con-
sentative in his views and Is liked by Re-
publicans.

Peak emphatically. Right or wrong, we

country to promote the welfare of the

that there have been no strikes or mining
troubles to cause enmity between the op-

more coal in the State of Kentucky than

FATAL FREIGHT WRECK.
At Least Four Men KilIed-Engineer
Pinned Under Tank.

RAWLINS. Wyo.. Sept. H.-At least four
and perhaps several more persons were
killed by freight wreck in the Union Pa
cifc yards at this place early to-day. The
names OF the dead so far as known are:
Paul w. Dayton, coal passer, residence I'M
known; James Welsh. fireman. Rawlins:
John Patnoe, engineer, Rawiins; unknown
tramp. Three bodies have been recovered.
The body OF Engineer Patnoe is still under
the engine. The engineer was pinned down
by the end OF the tank resting on his legs
and for several hours he was conscious and
carried on conversation with members OF
the rescuing party. but he was finally over
come by heat from the engine and the
burning cars about him. 1t will be neces-
sary to raise both the tank and the locomo-
tive to get at his body. 1T is known that
several tramps were aboard the Inflated
train and, as none have been seen about
the wreckage. 1t is feared they We're either
killed outright or were burned to death.
The Rawlins fire department succeeded In
extinguishing the fire and saved about one
half OF the fourteen cars that were
piled up.
The accident was caused by the failure of
the air brakes to work on the east-bound
fruit special and no one Is held responsible.
The train came into the yards at lightning
speed and crashed into a switch engine be-
fore the crew Of the latter had time to get
out Of the way.

Navajos Not Starving.

WASHINGTON. Sept. N-Indiana Agent
Haslett, of the Fort Defiance Agency, Ari-
IONA. has made a report to Commissioner
of Indian Affairs Jones, denying the re-
ports that six thousand Navajo Indians in
San Juan county are starving. He says he
wants to hire 100 Indians at s1.l0 day to
work on a railroad, but cannot get one
from which he infers that none of them
could be very hungry. He and other en-
ployes made a personal inspection of the
northern half of the reservation near the
border line Of Arizona. New Mexico and
Utah and found the Navajos had good
fields of corn, melons. pumpkins and other
food and were happy and contented, with
plenty to eat. He recommends the en-
ployment of three farmers to ditch 100
to 400 acres, which would permit within
three or four years the placing of from
10000 to 10000 acres of good land under
cultivation.

MUST TREAT ALL ALIKE
HINT TO THE l.. & N. BY THE SEA-
BOARD AIRLINE PRESIDENT.
II the Louisville Road Discrimfnates

structed in the south.

NEW YORK, Sept. H-President John
Shelton Williams. of the Seaboard Airline
Railway, in response to inquiries to-day as
to the effect which the proposed purchase
of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad by
the Atlantic Coast-line would have on the
Southern Railway situation. and especially
on the Seaboard Airline, said: Whether
the purchase of controlling interest in
the l.. & N. by the Atlantic Coast-line
Railway will prove a profitable and VAL
liable acquisition, or whether it will prove
unfortunate for both. will depend entirely
on the policy which shall be pursued by
the new owners. If the lines of the Louis
vile &c Nashville system held oren
for the interchange of business on a far
and reciprocal basis with all connections
without unfriendly Determinations. the
union of these two important systems may
be advantageous TO both, but if an attempt
is made to interfere with the free inter-
change of business between the Louisville
e. Nashville and its present connections
such policy will be followed in due course
by the construction of new railroads into
the Louisville & Nashville territory and
the building of much additional mileage
throughout the South Such additional
mileage can undoubtedly be built for less
than one-half the cost per mile or the
Louisville & Nashville, figured on the
basis which it is stated had been paid for
its stock. 1 assume. however, that the
friendly relations which have heretofore
existed between the Louisville & Nash
Vile Railroad and its several connections
will not be interrupted. 1t Is certainly the
desire of the Seaboard Airline to maintain
cordial relations with both allies and COM
petitors.
II do not know what arrangements were
made on behalf of the Southern Railway
with the owners of the Atlantic Coast-line
interests, nor do / know whether there
| is any truth in the report which has
reached me to the effect that a secret Of
fensive and defensive alliance has been
entered into between the Southern Railway
and the Atlantic Coast-line Covering a
period of years. 1t is certain, however,
| that nothing Will be done which will affect
adversely the earnings and business of the
Seaboard Airline system. The lines of this
system now ramify seven Southern States
extending from Baltimore in the north to
| the southern limit OF Florida in the south
| and to Montgomery and Birmingham, Ala. :,
| in the southwest. The business of the
system at the present time is limited only
| by it's capacity TO move the freight which
| is offered to 1t, and these conditions will
| not be interfered with by any action OF
connecting links"

KNEW HOW
To Stay at Post while Other. Got sick

How q trained nurse keeps up strength
on properly selected food is worth know
ing. The experience OF Mrs. Charlotte
Frank. OF Covington. KY, is probably
familiar to many. She says:
ct am a professional nurse and most Of
my time Is spent in the sickroom. Last
spring I attended very serious case and
after ten weeks close application I was

After tossing in bed one night for three
hours without being able to sleep, hap
pened to think OF Grape-Nuts and the
good It had done number OF my patients.
i got up and ate one-half cup OF the food
with about that much milk and returned
20 bed and slept five hours. and when 1
awoke 1 felt fresh and strong again. The
contiIs ed use OF Grape-Nuts enabled me
to sta. at my post while others got sick.

six feet and one inch tall. He was so thin
that the doctors and myself thought he
had consumption: commenced giving him
Grape-Nuts every day and he gained

A family in Cincinnati on my advice gave
Grape-Nuts TO a sick child whom no doctor
could help. The girl Is now we'll and strong.

FRIGHTENED IN THE FOURTH.
Democrats Fear Defeat of Griffith by
Mayor Spencer.

Democrats Fear Defeat of Grimth by
Mayor Spencer.
Fourth district Republicans have received
an intimation that the Democratic man.
ayers in the district are not sure of the
election of Francis Marion Griffith as they
were few weeks ago. Griffith is a candi-
date for reelection against Joshua Nj.
Spencer. now mayor of Rising Sun. A let
ter received yesterday states that the coun-
ty chairmen of the Democratic district
organization have received strict injunc-
tons from State Chairman O'Brien not to
| relax an iota in their work.
The instruction of the State chairman
of the Democrats Is significant in that 1t
is the first semi public recognition by the
Democrats that they have a dangerous
foeman in Spencer. Before Spencer was
nominated at Madison, the cohorts of Grit
nth secuted the talk that there was prob
ability of Republican success this year:
They declared that no Republican OF
strength could be induced to come out Tor
the race. When Spencer nominated
they were greatly surprised at his &C
ceptance because they saw instantly that
he would prove possibly the strongest OPP
ponent Griffith could have had. A num-
Der of county chairmen. who have been
loaflng along on the theory that the Re
not necessary for them TO labor hard,
awoke TO the fact that Griffith would have
to fight to the limit to again secure re-
election. Instructions were sent out at
once to the party workers TO wake up and
State Chairman O'Brien, who lives at
Lawrenceburg. Dearborn county, was ap-
prised that there was trouble looming in
the future. The letter of instructions from
O'Brien followed fast.
A private letter from an Aurora Repub-
lican of prominence says that confidence
in Republican success is growing apace.
The confidence is based on the fact that
Griffith has done nothing in Congress
worthy of his return; that people are more
and more satisfied with Republican pros
perity; that the general strength of the
Republican ticket is unquestionable. and
that Spencer is almost an ideal candidate.
1t is said with authority that hundreds OF
the older Democrats of the district who
were firm supporters of the late Will
liam s. Holman, are close friends or Spen-
Ger, and that many of them have signified
their intention of voting and working for
him.
All in all, it is believed in the Fourth
that the Democrats are in for a big sur
prise when the results are announced.
