Referring to an item in Fridays issue
Of The Item, In which reference was made
to Committeeman stevens's structures
upon the Alabama newspapers. The Item
was suggested by the wording OF para
graph in a speech made by Mr.. Stevens
In Montgomery. In a personal interview
with Mr.. Stevens. he states that the para
graph referred to. and which was sent
over the wires to The Item. was mis-
quoted and placed him in false position,
as his remarks were especially limited
to include only the vulnerable news
papers. The Item viii never, knowing
iy, do an injury to any man. and always
stands ready to right any wrong 1t may
have inadvertently committed. hence we
write this explanation to place Mr..
stevens, as well as this paper, right be-
fore the pubiic.-Mobile Item.
The Advertiser has no desire to do Mr..
Stevens any injustice. but his Language
was too plain to be misunderstood. He
said deliberately that the newspaper
thought Of Alabama was reflected through
the business ONCE and that men went
with their eyes shut who did not see 1t.
His disclaimer Of universal application
was thin and vaporous, in effect being
that his words did not apply to those
to whom they did not apply.

The opposing teams were the employees of the reel and tool rooms of the pin shop. All that these players do not know about the game-well it would be easier to tell what they knew about the game. It was an interesting game and the spectators really enjoyed it. The tool room team won by the score of IT to '. The batteries were George Johnson and John Lynch for the tool room and Klobedanz and Jerry AlcGrath for the reel room. Star plays were made by John Fassett. Charles Hurlburt and Robert Mulvaney.

CTS We'll Equipped System.
 WASHINGTON, May 23.-General Greedy states that the signal corps telegraph lines in Cuba have been transferred intact to the representa- lives of the government of Cuba.
 Reports to him show that when the American army occupied Havana in January, 1899, there was an expensive and inefficient telegraph system of about LOGO miles i'll extent. The signal corps of the army has reconstructed and extended this system. having in stalled two through wires from the ex.. treme east to the extreme west of the island and crisscross with thirteen lines from north to south There were turned over to the republic of Cuba about $500 miles of telegraph lines.
 The system has brought into the Gu ban treasury within the past year about S10O.000 in the way of receipts and in addition has transmitted free official business for the entire island which at the same rate would have cost S250, 100000.
 The material has been paid for very largely out of the Cuban revenues, and Cuban force has been gradually put 1n charge

 FORT DE FRANCE, Martinique, May 23.-One thousand persons have gone to the island of Guadeloupe and the island of St. Lucia, and 5000 more have left for the towns and villages in the extreme southern part of the is land. Those who remain at Fort de France are calm.
 A member of the colonial legislature of Martinique who has just explored the vicinity of Mont Pelee says:
 T started last Friday for Mont Pelee by the road leading along the coast from Basse Pointe, and, accompanied by M. Telliame Chancele, chief engi- neer of the sugar works, I reached a height of 1.235 meters without difficult ty and was able to ascertain that the present crater is about 300 meters in diameter
 Ion the east it is overlooked by the AIorne Ia Croix, the continuation of the island. having an altitude Of 1850 me ters, which is completely crumbled and mined at it's base as a result of the volcanic action and might easily col- lapse. The Morne Petit Bon Homme has an ineandescent aspect.
 Tn order to make known our pres ence at the point where we stood I waved a piece of white cloth attached to a stick in the air, which was replied to by corresponding signal from an inhabitant of Morne Rouge, who sig naled to me in this manner in order to show that he saw us.
 ''We felt number of electric commo- tions, and our shoes were damaged by the heat.
 ''The pond which was situated near Morne la Croix is completely dried up.
 ''The iron cross which stood at the foot of the mountain has been melted. Only the base of the masonry on which the cross stood and the lower part of the foot of the cross can be seen.
 ''The rims of the crater have very much changed in appearance. The heat where we stood was intense, and the whole aspect of the mountain was ter rifying.
 Stones fell around us, and we picked up large pieces of sulphur, which, how ever, we were unable to retain in our possession. The whole spot was charg- ed with electricity, which became so violent that we were obliged to retreat.
 Our descent from the mountain was more difficult than our ascent. A blind ing rain of ashes fell upon us, and the engineer was nearly killed by large stone which fell near him.
 I've succeeded in reaching Basse Pointe on our return, after having been four hours on the mountain under the most dangerous circumstances"

Pacific coast the week has been decid-
cdly cooler with heavy frosts in the
plateau districts.
