SIR ALEXANDER SWETTENHAM.
ish authorities nevertheless are not
through with the matter, so far as the
governor is concerned. In his letter
Mr.. Howard takes occasion to inform
this government that his majesty's gov
eminent Is causing official inquiries to
be made as to the authenticity of the
letter credited to the governor.
An interesting chapter was added to
the case when it became known that
ON Jan. 20, after Admiral Davis and
his ships had sailed from Kingston,
Brigadier. General Wint. commanding
the army of pacificatlon in Cuba, on
the request of the acting British min
lister at Havana, transmitted through
Governor Magoon, had sent to Kings
ton five hospital tents and flies, TWEEN
ty-eight wall tents and flies and fifty
two conical wall tents all complete.
These had been repeatedly the Brit
ish authorities as urgently required.
Secretary Taft was prompt to give his
approval upon his arrival here III Mon
day morning from South Carolina, and
1t is understood that the tents are now
on their way to Kingston.
Vice Consul Orett has reported an
other shock yesterday. In response
10 specific inquiries from the depart
ment he cabled that Sperry, Burke.
Watson and wife, Mrs. Case. Joseph
and Mary Eustace. Edwards and
daughter and Taylor We're all alive.
The following c%ablegram summarize
ing the situation in jamaica MS the re-
suit of the earthquake was received
from Mr.. Orett:
NO loss Of life at any Of the hotels
Mt Montego Bay. Port Antonio, interior
towns. Knutsford Park, Constant

the Myrtle Bank hotel, which was
completely wrecked. Many deaths oc-
Cured there, chiefly among the IN

MANY bodies found in the business
portion of the city, which was devas-
tated by fire, were burned beyond rec
ognition.
Consulate has opened. Another
shock Tuesday afternoon. No damage.
Trains are now running. Two piers
were saved"
A Kingston cable says that the publ
cation Of Governor S~wettenham's letter
to Rear Admiral Davis has greatly in
tensified the resentment of the resi-
dents against him. Governor Swetten-
ham was interviewed here as to the
Davis incident. The governor said that
he had not invited Rear Admiral Davis
TO land sailors. Asked il he Endorsed
the action taken by Rear Admiral Da.

ence in his letter to Rear Admiral Da-
Wis to a tramp pillaging< de house of a
New York millionaire was merely II

Monument To Confederate Leader,

RICHMOND, Va, June 3.-A memori-
al of Jefferson Davis was unveiled
here today as the browning feature of
the annual reunion Of the confederate
veterans. The ceremony was made the
occasion for a grand military pageant
in which every veteran in gray who
was physically able participated with
al enthusiasm which defed the years.
The drawing aside Of the veil which
draped the figure representing the vet.
erans' beloved leader and first gun Of
the presidential salute which immedi.
atelp followed, was the signal for az
outburst OF cheering which was swollen
to thunderous applause by the sons
and daughters of the veterans. The
event today was a fitting close to what
is universally recognized as probably
the last great gathering Of the con.
federate veterans.
The unwilling OF the monument was
the fruition OF Is years Of patient and
loving effort, and every man who wore
the southern uniform had in his heart
q desire to be present. \ devotion
which knows no equal in American
history is responsible for its building.
1t was a work the south had to do
without help. There was no united
country to bear the expense. Love
and sacrifice were the mason who
piled the stones and spread the mortar
that cemented them into an enduring
memorial.

domestic by Mrs. Kaufman. Rumors
OF fendish brutalities practiced on the
maid by the brewers wife caused the
body to be exhumed. 1t was found to
be a mass of bruises, scalds and cuts

A Market For Prairie Dogs.

HURON, $. D., June 3.-Securing a
contract from English lords holding
estates in Ireland for 1000 prairie
dogs to take the place of the extermin-
ated rabbits and hares for sporting
purposes, Mrs. Nellie Madden, of
Waukon, Wis, refuses to place any
valuation upon her land situated four
miles north of Huron, and has taken
it from the market. The land 10 over.

made it wholly unfit for farming or
grazing purposes and has already
been considered practically useless.
The prairie dogs are very prolific
and multiply rapidly, and for the rea-
son the county authorities have done
everything possible to extermina ate
them, Offering bounties for their car.

the little pests is the only one in the
Jim River valley and one of the few

Much money has been spent in vain
in the attempt to rid the country Of the

THE PRICE OF COTTON.

In discussing Fifteen cents for
cotton" the minimum price fixed
by both the Southern Cotton
Growers Association and the
Farmers Union, the News and
Courier says:
We do not pretend TO know
what the price OF cotton should
be. Ultimately the law of supply
and demand will assert itself.
but it is well enough to empha.
size again that the crop will not
bring its value unless the grow
ers express and act upon their
own opinion as to its value.
There is precisely the same rea
son for farmer with cotton to
sell TO name price for it as
there is for the owner OF horse,
of share of railroad stock, or
Of an automobile to name a
selling price for his property.
The Southern farmers are in
better condition this year than
ever before to hold cotton. Few
of them will be forced to hurry
1t TO market. The chances are
excellent that better prices will
prevail laterin the season. Cotton
is not peri liable, ware-housing
facilities are more numerous
than they have been and com
mon sense makes plain the duty
and wisdom OF every cotton grow
er to follow faithfully the advic-
es of his organization leaders.
