Reciprocity With Cuba--Who to
Benefit By It.

The RECIPROCITY with Cuba, which Roose-
welt is SO vigorously advocating, and without
which it is alleged Cuba would be ruined, now
turns out to be a Sugar Trust scheme solely,
by absolute and undeniable proof And the
worst feature of the expose, is the proof that
the United States Military Governor of Cuba,
Gen. Leonard Wood, worked in connection
with the Sugar Trust to create sentiment in
this country for reciprocity with Cuba, and
spent the public funds of the island in an effort
to influence public interents toward recipro-
cal trade relations.
The evidence on these matters was brought
out on Wednesday by Senator Teller, OF Col
orado, in an investigation being made by the
Senate Committee on Cuban Relations. The
witness was F. B. Thurber, president of the
United States Export Association. 1t APP
pears from his testimony and a voucher which
was presented to the committee by Senator
Teller. that Governor Wood has spent $11,-
500 for the organization of which Mr.. Thur
Der is the head, TO send literature throughout
this country to ''leaders of thought, as they
are termed, in order that the cause of recip-
rocity might be advanced. The voucher is as

Negro Boys Lynohed.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., June IL. Two negro boys,
Harrison and James Gillespie, aged respec-
lively 16 and IA years, who were under arrest
charged with killing Miss Cornelia Benson on
a farm in Rowan county Monday last, were
taken from Jail at Salisbury, N. c., early this
morning and hanged to tree in the railroad
yards. Their bodies were then riddled with
bullets. About fifty men composed the mob,
and all wore masks. The militia had been
called out by authority of the Governor about
midnight, but, as every thing appeared quiet,
they had disbanded, when the mob suddenly
appeared and battered down the Jail door.
The negroes were in the attic of the jail, but
the mob readily found them and drove rapidly
out of town, firing as it went. After lynch
ing the negroes the mob quietly dispersed
The negroes admitted that they beat the young
woman's braines out with rocks because she
tried to make them leave her premises.

Dear grand mother thou hast left US.
GONE to rest in peaceful slumber,

A pain all grief, all suffering past.

been cleared up by Patroimen Smyth. Stan

Captain Boyd and his officers have been
working TO solve the mystery OF the pres

that the apron, baby's dress. ladies' shirt

were covered with blood. might be a clew
70 tragedy.
Policeman Smyth yesterday was informed
that Ernest Gerlemann, a grocer and sa-
loonkeepers at No. 429l Easton avenue. was
the owner Of the garments. Mr. Geriemann
told the police that he was assaulted on
August . by Charles and Otto Herr OF No
4l42 EastOn avenue. He was wearing the
apron at the time. be said the shirt waist
Gnd babys dress were worn by his wife and
child at the time Of the assault and that
they became bloody by coming into con-
tact with him. The assault. he said, was
committed with the scale weight.
According TO Mr. Gerlemann, the Tenth
District police advised him to take the
clothing and weight 10 court as evidence.
After the trial OF the case he gave the bun
die to Harry Shanks, OF the commission
nrm, and requested him 10 send them out
% his store for him. Harry Shanks, MIR.
Gef3emann says, went away the next day
and had not returned at the time the bun
die was found. Other members and en-
2loyes OF the firm had no knowledge Of the

CAPTAIN NACNLIN'

Richard Harding Davis has held a lead
Ing place among the short-story writers.
That he should essay 10 try for laurels
along more ambitious lines Is not surpris-
ing. especially as his rich experiences have
furnished him with an abundance OF color
ing which is deuiel 10 other authors.
Captain Macklin. His Memoirs" pub

has surrounded his hero with romance

has those elements-oT bravado which com
mand the admiration and respect OF the
courageous. believing thoroughly IN

as any self-appointed man Of destiny.
Mr.. Davis gains in confidence as his
story proceeds The first three or four
chapters are 80 much like those OF other
historical novels that the reader IS tempted
60 wonder IL the author j. afraid 10 strike
his gait There is a tendency 10 use
those archaic forms with which We have
become 80 familiar In Richard Carved

counts OF adventure.
As the author gets down to the real meat
Of his story and lets his hero become a
living American-lets him lose his pose
then there IS little critic sm. The book IS
not historical; il might almost be called
romantic. SO swift IS the movement and
SO picturesque are the surroundings. Here
we have a complete revolution Of a fort

ments Of telegraph service. American

Of tropical surroundings
Altogether, Mr.. Davis has chosen n rare
field for his first novel. He almost in
