CUBAN EDITORS FIGHT.

Santiago, Cuba. Congressman Co
rono, editor of the Cuban Libre,
shot and killed Senor lnsula, editor
of the Republican. Both men were
prominent politicians and leaders of
rival parties. Eenor Corona was
drinking in cafe when Senior In
sula, with party of friends, en-
tered and began a political discus
sion. Personalities and insults fol-
lowed. This quickly started fight
with canes, during which Senor Co
rono suddenly drew revolver
and shot Senor Insula three times.
Sepcr Corona then walked away
and has not yet been arrested. The
shooting caused great excitement
here.

EFFECT OF COAL FAMINE.

Baltimore. The effect of the coal
famine on the four million inhabit-
ants of Maryland, the District OK
Columbia, Virginia and West
Virginia, is indeed very serious.
Few towns are supplied with
anthracite coal and in many
there is a shortage of all kinds Of
fuel. In the towns the residents
substitute wood for coal but in the
cities this has not been possible. In
some counties nothing but wood is
used. In West Virginia, owing to
the wide distribution of coal mines
there is not likely to be much dis
tress. Although the industries are
suffering. Washington and Balti-
more are getting along with soft
coal at advanced prices. The con-
sumers of both Baltimore and Nor
folk are suffering owing to the
shortage.

Memphis. "A special to the Com

Miss, says: This community was
highly interested to learn that its
internal affairs should have occu-
pied part of the time OF the presi-
dent and his cabinet at Washington
Friday. 1t is realized that the action
OF the government in closing the
postoffice here will seriously inter
fere with local commerce and in
other ways work many hardships
upon the inhabitants of this town.
A mass meeting of citiz,ns was held
in November last at which resolu-
tions were passed demanding that a
new postmaster be appointed on
January aud that q white person
be named for the place. 1t is posi-
lively denied here that threats have
been made against Mrs Cox, and al
though there is strong sentiment
for submitting to the permanent
closing of the Office rather than al
ow its operation by any other than
D white person, it is stated that no
violence will DE offered Mrs. Cox
should she reopen the Office.
