The Roumanlan Jews.

London, Oct. 2O.-The Daily Mail
recently sent correspondent to Rou-
mania to investigate the Jewish ques.
ton there, and the paper publishes a
letter from it's representative, in
which he says that in Roumania the
laws are fair, but that there is cry
ing injustice in their application, or,
rather their non-application, to the
Jews. The Jews, he writes, are per
secuted not on account of their reli-
gion, but because if they were natur.
allied and treated justly they would
own half the land, and in short, run"
the country.
The correspondent declares that a
large number of Roumanian deputies
derive large portions of their incomes
from heavy brides on the condition
that they will help Jews to obtain nat
uralization papers.

cablegram received at the State de-

Minister Boowen at Caracas. The
dispatch is dated yesterday and reads;
Fighting continues at Victoria. No
communication is to be had with Va

1t has been decided at the State de
partment that the one United States
naval vessel now at La Guavra, the
port of Caracas, is sufficient for the
present needs. The Marietta, which is
the vessel referred to, might, in case
OF need, quickly send a guard of ma
rines and blue jackets to the United
States legation at Caracas if Bowen
desires their presence, and even this
small guard, it is not doubted, will be
sufficient for all purposes.

pushing white woman from tres
tie and, it is said, severely injuring
her. Several white men armed them
selves and apprehended the negroes,
demanding an explanation of their con-
duct. The answer was a volley from
a Winchester rife, which killed one
man instantly and mortally wounded
another, Another white man is miss
ing, and it is supposed he is dead. The
white citizens then fired into the
ranks of the negroes and several are
reported to have been killed,
The following telegram was receiy-
ed by Sheriff Burgn ut $3.50 o'clock:
"Littleton, Ala,-White man shot
dead and one missing; negroes armed
and highways blocked. Things are Sc
rious. Send posse here on 10 o'clock
train without fail"
A message few minutes later
stated that three White men and eight
negroes were dead.
A newspaper man, who has just ar
rived in Llttleton, reports the situa-
ton fully as serious as reported, So
far, he has obtained the following list
Of casualties and says there are many
more to come:
Unknown man shot dead.
