TREATY WITH CUBA
NOW REGARDED
HOPELESS
UNEXPECTED TURN IN NEGoTIA-
TIoNs MAKES 1T ALMOST
CERTAIN THAT Reel
PRocITY Is DOOMED.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The unexpect-
ed turn in the Cuban negotiations at Ha-
vana have naturally surprised the officials
here, who had every reason to believe
from Minister Squier's report that the
treaty was practically an accomplished
fact.
Now that it is to be thrown into the
house OF representatives at Havana with
a nationalist majority supposed to be
hostile to the establishment of closer re-
lations with the United States, 1t is feared
that the treaty is lost, for. If not reject
ed outright, 1t is almost certain to be
amended so as to make IL unacceptable
to the United States.

Night has fallen over the sullan ira
wadi. A few pale stars alone CLEAN
out over the junglelike country. There
are no sounds save the soft lapping of
the wavelets on the rivers bank, the
gentle sigh Of the breeze through the
bamboo reeds or the occasional cry
"Alrs wellw from the little mud fort
on the riverside wherein a handful of
British soldiers are invested by the
vengeful Dacoits.
For days upon days the meager but
dauntless garrison has awaited relief
by their comrades. Provisions are
short, and the men are exhausted by
their continual vigilance. Day after
day the wakeful, warlike Dacoit in his
thousands has attacked the fort. In
the glare of the day and in the dark
some night he has endeavored to rush
the stronghold of the British, only to be
repulsed after terrific fighting, but still
retaining all the tenacious venom of O
deadly hatred for the usurper of his
country

ed horse. Again and again he tries to
raise himself to the saddle, but 1t Is
impossible. The horse is tearing along
at it's topmost pace. He feels his
strength going from him. He cannot
hold on many more minutes. A horri-
BILE death threatens him; mist springs
before his eyes; he feels himself slip
ping, slipping, slipping.
An hour later the sentinels on the
mud fort by the Irawadi perceive n
horse galloping furiously toward the
structure. At first 1t appears to be
riderless, but closer inspection reveals
a man clinging to the saddle. The gate
OF the fort is thrown wide open, and
Lieutenant Woods horse gallops into
safety, its plucky rider almost at the
last gasp.
A few hours after the long looked
for re-enforcements arrived, and the
garrison was relieved from Its desper-
ate situation.

Resssmer Teachers Learn Much from

Join Hands in Building
Up the District.

Joseph NJ Dill, superintendent Of the
Bessemer schools. who recently visited
Birmingham at the head of a delegation
of Bessemer teachers for the purpose of
inspecting the schools of this city, was
greatly pleased with his visit In the fol-
lowing letter he praises their efficiency
and the work of Superintendent Phillips,
and says that Bessemer will join hands
with Birmingham to promote education
IN the Birmingham district Professor
Dill writes:
To the Editor Of The Age-Herald:
In behalf of the teachers Of the BESSIE
mer public schools, allow me. through
your columns, to express to DR.. J. H.
Phillips and the principals and teachers
of the Birmingham schools our appre-
citation Of the cordial reception and gen.
erous hospitality accorded us on our visit
TO the schools of your city.
All of us feel that 1t was a day most
pleasantly and most profitably spent. We
saw much In your schools worthy of imi-
tation. We found a system every detail
of which has been arranged by a master
hand; and yet in every room the per-
sonality Of the teacher was manifest.
All the pupils in each room moved as
one, were taught as one, obeyed as one;
and yet the individuality of each child
was not suppressed. everywhere we
found a most cordial sympathy between
teacher and pupils. We cannot believe
that they were putting on their COM
pany manners" for every teacher. as
well as every mother, knows what al
ways happens when she wishes her chill
dren to Show off, before company
For our own teachers, let me say that
no corps Of teachers ever visited others
at work with a greater desire to learn
from them and improve their own work,
and none ever returned more fully re-
paid. We wish DR.. Phillips and his
teachers at some time to visit us and see
that we have been benefited by the day
spent in his schools.
Bessemer never expects to equal Bir-
mingham In size nor rival her in COM
mercial Importance, but we do ask the
privilege OF joining hands with her in
building up this great Birmingham dis
trict.
Bessemer schools may never surpass
the system built UP by DR.. Phillips, but
we will rival 1t in the efficiency of work
accomplished, IL he gives us many more
such pleasant and profitable days as yes.
