PLAN TO BUILD A MAMMOTH

A Project to Make the Place a Coastsl Resort
That Shall Eclipse Old Point

Especial to News and Observer.)

NSpGCldI 10 NEWS ana ODSefNeF.J
Washington, ~ G., Nov. IA plan
has been formulated 10 build a hotel on
the northern part of Ocracoke Island, at
Cape IIatteras, and to build one that will
eclipse the Chamberlin and the famous
Hygeia in splendor and furnishings. Hat
teras, the storm-swept, the Atlantic's
graveyard, is to be redeemed.
Superintendent John Lcmoine. in charge
Of the North Carolina division of the Ole
Dominion Steamship Company, in talking
over the projected work, a few days ago
said The Sapphire country, paying
thousands to its promoters, is not a cir
cumstance compared with the bonanza
offered to the investor in the hotel resort
business at Cape Hatteras. Northerners
are now considering the venture and the
Old Dominion people themselves, have
made a close study Of the situation. It
is the best place on the Atlantic for
summer and winter resort and it is going
to be made such. 1t will not be done on
small scale. The project to pan OF;

noting the project"
Barring its present isolation which will
be easily remedied by steamship COM
panies Hatteras has no counterpart as
summer or winter resort on the Atlantic
coast. picturesque bay makes in at
the south of Cape Hatteras. Thus the
winds that fan that spot are from the

north and northwest break off the cold
winds of winter and all the year round
the place is marked by a temperature
that for milduess is unrivalled by any
spot on the coast. The fishing, hunting
and bathing are unsurpassed by none in
the world. The Gulf Stream flows close
in shore, tempering the waters and MAX
ing a sea bath delightful. When capital
makes Hatteras resort thousands will
flock there and the venture will be a gold
mine for its promoters
Superintendent Lemoine, who is quoted
in this article, is a Northerner with an
eye quick to see the monetary value CT
the seaside possibilities around Hatteras.

BLACK PROPHET OF EVIL,

CUBA is COQUETTISH.
l Don't Need You," Laughs
the Little Beauty.
Whereat OgIing Uncle Sam, Sighirg Like a
Furnace, is all the More Eager tor
Reciprocity.
(By the Associated Press. J

Washington, d. c., Nov. 12.-An impor-
tant conference bearing on the subject
of the Cuban Reciprocity Treaty was held
at the War Department today, the par
ttcipants being Secretaries Hay and Root,
and General Bliss. Before the confer
ence at the War Department. Secretary
Hay had talked on this subject with SEN
ator Cullom, Chairman of the Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations, and
also with Senior Quesada, the Cuban Min
lister here. 1t appears that the cardinal
objection Of President Palma to the
treaty as it stands is the insufficient re-
bate of 20 per cent proposed to be al
lowed on Cuban imports into the United
States, and Secretary Hays purpose is
to ascertain, if possible, how far he can
yield in that matter and still be able
to rely upon the support of Congress next
session when the treaty is submitted. So
far, his advice do not favor any increase
of the rebates, and, indeed, he has been
assured by some persons with whom he
has talked that under no conditions
would Congress consent to any substan-
tial increase of this rebate. 1t is under
stood that the Cubans, too are entirely
unwilling TO accept any small increase
In the face Of a great shortage in the
European crop and a rapidly rising mar
ket, they have acquired confidence in
their ability to get along for an indefinite
period of time without reciprocity with
the United States. and so it is understood
they are showing an Indifference in tho
prosecution of the treaty negotiations
which is serving in turn to stimulate
the efforts of our negotiators.
President Palma makes the point that
conditions have changed in Cuba so that
whereas the 20 per cent rebated might
| have served when it was first proposed
| it would at present afford so little reliei
as not to warrant-Ae sacrifice of NCubar
| revenues that would be involved in itS
| acceptance. Secretary Hay has determ,
| ined to clear up that point and to thai
end, after talking with Secretary Root
| today it was decided that General Bisss
should be sent at once to Cuba to make
an investigation of the Industrial and the
| financial possibilities of the island.

GOES TO SHOOT BEAR
The President on His Way to
Some Point in Mis-
sissippi.
(By the Associated Press.)

Cincinnati, Ohio, Nov. 12.-President
Roosevelt is speeding down through Ken
lucky tonight on his way to Smedes,
Miss, about twenty-five miles north of
Vicksburg, for a four days bear hunt.
The place selected for the hunt is some
miles from the railroad and is in the re-
gion which was formerly the favorite
hunting ground of General Wade Hamp-
tCn the famous leader of the Confederate
Black Horse Cavalry. General Hampton,
at one time, owned a plantation in this
vicinity and hunted black bear in the
cane brakes with horse and hound. Be-
fore the war he is said to have killed
more than fifty bears in a single season,
some of them with a knife.
Years ago, the President and General
Hampton planned a hunt in this region
but it never was made, and when Presi-
dent. Fish. of the Illinois Central pro-
posed a hunt the President gladly ac-
cepted. The President does not anticipate
the pleasure of killing a bear so much as
the pleasure of a few days complete rest
in the woods.

TO SUE THE sEABOARD,
Main Will Bring Suit for Fifteen Thousand
Dollars Damages.
(special to the Newg and observer.l

Especial to the News and Observer
Durham, N. c., Nov. PIT is learned
that Walter l.. Main. proprietor of
Mains circus, is going to bring suit
against the Seaboard Air Line for fifteen
thousand dollars. This suit grows out of
the attachment proceedings begun by
the Seaboard and by which Sheriff
Markham seized ten horses day before
yesterday.
The matter has been placed in the
hands of Messrs. Guthrie & Guthrie by
Mr.. Main
Under the contract between Walter l..
Main and the Seaboard road the former
was to pay all legal claims for damages
where the amount awarded was more
than $50 In the Allen case the Sea-
board road compromised the matter by
giving Allen $3.50 and after this com
promise the road put in claim for 800
saying that a compromise was not a
legal claim for damages and that if it
was compromised then this released him.
Notwithstanding this the attachment fol-
lowed and ten of the horses were taken
to satisfy the claim.
1t is understood that Mr.. Main will
now ask for damages to reimburse him
for the inconvenience he has sustained
and for the damage to his credit and
reputation throughout the country.
