ports are coming in of great damage
done. AS far as known two men were
killed, Delmas Richard and a man
named Stills. Bigue Abshire was so
badly crushed that he will die. At the
residence of John c. Ellis, 10 miles
south OF Crowley, Richard was killed,
and Mr.. Ellis sister was considerably
bruised by falling timbers. The house
of Mr.. Burleigh was blown down, but
the family escaped with slight an
juries. About three miles from the
Ellis place Mr.. Donnelly's house was
blown from the foundation and the
stables were destroyed. At farm not
far from the Donnelly place a man
named Stills was killed while trying to
escape from his home, which was COM
pletely wrecked. and three other mem-
bers of the family were seriously In
jured. Twelve houses are reported az
totally demolished. Fruit trees were
torn out of the ground and destroyed.
It is thought there were several other

The conference was sequence to
that held Monday by the president
with those congressman opposed to
the 20 per cent. reduction. Since the
arrival in Washington Of Gen. Wood
and President-elect Palma the presi-
dent has received a great deal Of ad-
ditional information regarding affairs
in Cuba and is strengthened in his be-
lief that greater concessions than that
proposed by the ways and means COM
mitee bill should be given to Cuba for
n time. It isprpbable that representa-
tions of this character were made to
the congressman Tuesday night, but

Official Paper of County !.


1t is interesting to note the wailing
of the gold de mocrats about the evils
brought upon the country by the
policies of the republican administra-
ton which they have helped elect.
There has been no change in policies
In the the last twenty years with a
change in administration. Cleveland
was republican in policy as to banks
and finances to such an extent that
no change was necessary from his
under republican administration.
Does their reorganization of the party
mean ceasing to oppose these policies
at the ballot box? II so we don't see
any use of democratic party. A
democratic party to carry out republi-
can policies may be In harmony with
the ideas of the gold democrats of the
Cleveland stripe, but can hardly meet
the approval of the democratic masses.

1t is understood that President-elect
Palma will not go to Havana until the
early part Of May. His plans are not
fully matured and will depend on de-
velopments of the near future. Secre-
tary Root has requested Secretary Hay
to arrange for diplomatic representa-
tion OF the United States in Cuba. Pro-
vision for consular service will also
be made.
The Date Fixed.
Washington, March 26.-May 20,
1902, is the new date fixed for turn
ing over the island of Cuba to it's
people. The change of date was
made, Il not at the suggestion, then
with the full approval Of President
elect Palma and his advisors, Seniors
Tamaya and Queseda, who were with
him at the war department Tuesday.
This date should be a memorable one
in Cuban history, for it will not only
mark the acquisition of full indie.
pendence, but will be the Cuban in~
auguration day, it having been deter
mined that President Palma shall be
inaugurated on the same day that
American control of the island
ceases.
Two Important Provisions.
Beside the final selection of May
20 as Cuban independence day, two
other important conclusions were
reached. The first was that Gen.
Wood should, Immediately upon his
return to Cuba. issue call conven-
ing the first Cuban congress in ses-
sion on May 10, in order that the
body might employ the ten days fol-
lowing that date in supplying any
legislation necessary to the assump-
ton OF full powers in the island.
The other conclusion was that
there should be no halfway evacua-
tion of the island; the present dis
position is to move the entire Unit
ed States contingent, civil and mil
itary, away from the island, not even
leaving corporal's guard of United
States soldiers in any Of the camps.
This, however, does not apply to
the coast defenses at several points
IN the island. These will be garris-
pned by United States troops under
command of Col. William L. Haskip.
If this programme is not executed It
will be for the sole reason that the
Cubans themselves, through their
authorized officials, request that the
departure of the United States troops
be delayed for time.
Cabinet Talks of Cuba.
Washington, March 26.-The Cuban
question occupied nearly the entire
time of the cabinet meeting Tuesday,
the details of the transfer of the is
land to the new government being
considered at great length. It is the
desire of the administration to pro-
vide as fully as possible for the abb
solute and complete turning over Of
the government as soon as the Cuban
flag is raised.
Considerable time was taken up Ia

Another Conference Held.
Washington, March 90. = Another
conference was held at the white house
Tuesday night on the subject of Cuban
reciprocity and was participated in by
the president and the house leaders,

ways and means committee, and Mr..

invitation of the president and re-

statement was made that there were
no new developments in the situation,
and that the programme adopted by
the republican conference, providing

ports temporarily. would be carried
out in the house. The ways and means
committee has not yet reported the
bill framed for the purpose of carry
ing out the caucus plan, which is 6e-
