EXCITEMENT IN WASHINGTON.
Negro Preacher Says Tillman and HOlke
smith Are Responsible.


smith Are Responsible.
Washington, Sept. 24.-(Special.C-
The rank and file among the more ig-
norant of the large negro population
of the capital of the nation are much
excited over the occurrence at Atlanta
Saturday night.
There are approximately hundred
thousand negroes in the District OF
Columbia, occording to the census or
nearly one-third of the population re-
ports. Well informed people think
probably the number is greater De-
cause the blacks move from one part
of the city so frequently 1t is dlmcult
to get an accurate census
According to speech OF a respect
able and educated negro Justice or
the Peace in the city more than TO-
900 of his race do little or no work
and he has repeatedly stated that In
nine out of ten cases brought before
him by female servants for wages
claimed to be due them he is compell-
ed to decide in favor of the mistress
This has made Justice Terrell, for
| that is his name, most unpopular
among the people OF his race, but he
continues to decide cases against the
negro women.
Yesterday mornings papers had only
| meagre accounts of the Atlanta up
rising, but enough was printed to
cause several of the negro preachers
of Washington to refer to the ISaH<eI
in their Sunday sermons One OF them
fatty declared without any apparent
reason that Senator Tillmaa and <oke
Smith were responsible for the trou-
| BILE.
There is almost a constant strife
here between negroes and the city
police and the police courts have oil
they can do the year round to dispose
of the cases. great many outrages
are committed in Washington and its
suburbs and on account of the Allan
ia excitement the police here have
been Instructed to be more vigilant
than over.

NOT MUCH WORRIED.
People Interested In Cuba Believe
Trouble Only Temporary.

Trouble Only Temporary.
New York, Sept. 24--The Times today
states that events in Cuba have been
viewed with comparative Indifference
abroad, and their progress from bad to
worse has been reflected i'm but small
measure in the stock markets. which,
after all. are the best index of the
minds OF that part of the public with
interests at stake.
Cuban bondholders have remained
calm and the obligations of the new
republic have lost only IA points
since the early days in August when
the rumblings of the embryo insurrec-
ton were first heard.
At the bottom of this confidence here
and abroad, is the knowledge that our
government. under the provisions of the
Piatt amendment, is the responsible
guardian ofthe Cuban peace. Finan-
cial interests have supreme confidence
in this governments ability to put an
instant quietus to the lighting on the
island Just as soon as Intervention be-
comes a necessity
Cuban development has gone on at
a marvellous pace since the American
OCCUPATION under the stimulus of Amer
lean and English capital 1t is esti-
mated that the American capital now in
cuba amounts to 100000, 900. and the
sum of the English investments foot up
TO about the same total.

cific tone of the dispatches from Ha-

they have been making to land forces
