Ee Lyrcne7s With Prisoner.

At Atlanta at 12 o'clock Thursday
night Governor Terrell was summon

Before the soldiers could assemble,

Sheriff Nelms, Deputy Sheriff Char

at a rate Of fifty miles an hour to-
ward the fort, four miles distant,
where the negro was prisoner.
At Oakland City, which is near tho;
fort, the auto was halted by a mob or
some fifty or more men, armed with
every kind OF weapon, and their pGr-
pose asked. Being informed they were
permitted to proceed.
When the party, reached the for,
Sheriff Nelms was admitted and final:

Even faster than the outward trip
was the return one. The negro was
forced to lie down in the machine
and the members of the party watch
cd him carefully to see that he had
no opportunity to escape.
The same MOB was present when
the auto reached Oakland City, and,
the members of that party had no

his prisoner to proceed, but they
reckoned without the speed Of the

TAFT HAS DIFFICULT JOB.
Delicate Situation in Cuba Has Sec

Delicate Situation in Cuba Has Sec
retary Of War Guessing.
A special from Havana says: Thurs
days conferences with the leaders Of
the. factions IN the Cuban conflict did
not enable Secretary of War Taft and
Assistant Secretary Of State Bacon
to announce any plan for compromis-
ing the difficulty. So strenuous are
the appeals Of both the liberal and
moderate party leaders that the sit:
ration becomes increasingly compli-
Gated as the negotiations proceed.
However. Secretary Taft said Thurs
LAY night that he believed that when
they are brought fact to face with
the danger Of losing independence 1rs
ever, all patriotic Cubans would be-
willing to make concessions.
Mr.. Taft added that the United
States peace emissaries were occupy
ing most delicate position, and had
undertaken to heap all complaints and
that until they had made themselves
thoroughly conversant with the politr
ical turmoil of Cuba they could NOT
express themselves freely in the con-.
farences, fearing that possible nisun-
derstandings might have a deterrent
effect on the proceedings.
Mr.. Taft has made it clear that the
United States was not seeking to con-
troll the island or any of its affairs.
but he has quoted President Roose-
yelt's letter to Minister Quesada to
the effect that the United States has :
Il duty which it cannot shirk. To
those whom he has mat in conference
Mr.. Taft has said that now was the
time to decide whether they would
have Cuba live as nation. He has
weighed every word carefully, and has
neither upheld nor criticised the prtn
ciples Of either factions.

"The Clansman" opened its second
southern season in Charleston before
an audience that filed every available
inch of space in the Academy OF Mu-
sic. Hundreds of people. unable to
gain admission, were turned away
disappointed. "The Clansman' played
three performances in Charleston, and
every, seat was sold for the entire en-
gagement.
There cannot be the slightest doubt
but that the play has duplicated the
enormous success scored last season,
and will make a tour of the south In
blaze of glory, playing to capacity
