 is Expected to Report.

New York, April 2.--It is probable that the Thaw lunacy commission will report Thursday morning The case was adjourned last week until Monday morning and when the jury was called before the court Monday Justice Fitzgerald adjourned again the ,rial until Thursday morning.
 The lunacy commission will meet Tuesday and 1t is expected that they will be ready to report Thursday. In case the commission finds that Thaw is insane within the meaning of thej law the trial will be stopped but fl they find that he Is capable of going on the trial will be resumed at once It is doubtful If the defense will call any other witnesses. As soon as the defense rests the summing up will begin and under the agreement made between the attorneys, will last for two days
 have drawn up petition to Justice Fitzgerald asking him to allow them g. q day for jury services instead of the customary allowance of $2 day.

OAKLAwN MEETING CLOSED.
Intention of Citizens to Enforce Amis
 Bill Caused Early. Close.

Hot Springs, March 30.-Bad weather and sloppy track closed the last day oi racing at Oaklawn this afternoon. A small crowd attended and betting was very light. Everyone seemed listless, and sort of gloominess prevailed the whole assembly.
 It was the original intention O. the officials of Oaklavn to con- tinue the races for sixty days, but, owing to the passage of the Amis an:i-pool selling bill and the fierce war waged by the citi- zens for its enforcement, further operation would have meant nothing else than financial dis aster. So the meet was closed on it's forty-eighth day. For the past eight days visitors have been leaving the town rapidly, some on account of the threatened rail- road strike and others for the reason that betting was carried on under great disadvantage, everyone who made bet being liable 10 arrest and liue.
 Some of the horsemen will get their ponies out tonight and the others will follow soon. The majority of them go to the East ern tracks.
 According 10 figures furnished by officials Of the Oaklawn Jock ey Club, it cost more than $40, 900 above all receipts to operate the plant in the test of the recently enacted Amis law. This amount represents the total loss admitted by the race track moguls.
 IL is claimed that S20,000 was lost last year, when pool selling on horse racing was legal.

EXTENSIVE COAL
 FIELDS TO OPEN
Great Beds of the Finest Fuel in Scott County to Be Developed
 by Tennessee Capital.

Waldron, Ark, April With ootions on 1000 acres of coal land in Scott county. under which there are two six-foot veins of coal. Tennessee capitalists are orepariug to close the options and pay out over S20O,oo0 in the purchase of the land.
 I. B. Bicknell of Birmingham Ala. who has been in the coal business in that section, is in the city and is one of those interested in engineering the deal.
 i've have fully exploited the and" said MT. Bicknell yester : day, "and within few weeks we will take our options. There are two veius of coal on the land, each six feet in depth, with a sam between. We will operate inc lower vein first, as it would take too much timbering to take out the top coal and then go to work on the lower vein.
 There is coal enough on the land to keep our mines going for 15O years without touching the top vein. We will import a num- Der of miners and have already made arrangements with the Ar kansas Western railroad for put ting in three mile spur to our property, which is located near Coledale, Ark"

 Fort Smith, April Lon Saturday evening and night the big sewer In the north part of the city which has been completed was crowded with negroes seek ing, sEbteranean escape from the reported comet which was billed this way on that day by practi- cal joker of the city.
 Some one with the intention of keeping the joke alive spread the news among the more ignorant negroes that the thing had been sighted off New York at 6 o'clock in the evening aud in all prob ability would be iu Fort Smith at 9 o'clock in the evening.
 The terrorized population took themselves to the interior of the sewer, which has been finished and covered over, and refused to come forth on any pretext when told by white man that the story was untrue.
 Tue piece of sewer which has been finished on the west of the Iron Mountain railroad was iammed full at this end and it was almost a fight to determine whether they would let any more iu or not.
 It is said that considerable demonstration was being carried on by the n i'll the way of prayers and songs.
 All night long the majority stayed in the place, and not until daylight would they venture forth to their homes.

ID DECIDE CUBA s FUTURE
Arrival of Secretary Taft at Havana Auxiously Awaited by In-
 terested Parties.
MANY STATE QUESTIONS ARE HELD UP
Financial and Political Interests Gen eraIly Demand Definite Iniorms ton Regarding the Policy of the United States Regarding the Island Republic.

Havana, April 2.-Politicians and government officials are anxiously awaiting the arrival of Secretary of War Taft from Panama. whence he is expected in few days.
 Many important questions are held in abeyance pending his visit here Some of them are serious ones, which should be settled immediately. Mir. Taft will be in Havana for three days, and the entire time will he filled with work.
 Many persons arc convinced that his visi; will decide the future of Cuba. Financial and political inter ests generally demand definite in- formation regarding the policy Of tho United States. The uncertainty ere ates uneasiness, both political and fi- nancial throughout the country.
 Externally, everything is peaceful enough. bnt bankers are worried. It is said that the banks will decline to advance money for next seasons sugar planting until they arc abso- lutely certain as to the future. Should they do this, it would create serious conditions and would practically as. sure period of great depresso on Eng fish interest, particularly the rail, road companies. arc also anxious to know precisely what the Washington government proposes to do. It would cause no surprise should Great Brit ain ask the United States her inten- ,ions in tbe case of Cuba. especially if Mir Taft leaves the programme un- diyulgcd.
 It is regarded here that whatever decision Is reached concernine the continuation of the American occupa- ton or withdrawing the provisional government there is sure to be trouble. I. Secretary Taft announces that cleo tions will be held and the republic re established, TOW will follow the American evacuation, and if it is de eided that the Americans shall stay here indefinitely, with no declaration of their intentions, the negroes will sooner or later make trouble

THREE YEARS FOR
 KILLING A WOMAN
Negro Who Took the Life of Little Rock Woman Given a Sentence of Only Three Years in the
 Penitentiary.

Little Rock. March 30.-Will Gay, the negro, who was Mrs. Charlotte Leetham's servant for eight years, aud who was trusted to do her bidding, from menial labor to performing errands of trust, stands convicted by jury of twelve men of having been her slayer but not her murderer.
 The jury decided yesterday afternoon that Gay was guilty of voluntary manslaughter, and fixed his punishment at three years in the pen.teutiary. The jury which rendered the verdict was composed as follows: Lewis Polk, John ParsCns, Harry Mes Ter, w. NJ. Mitchell. Howard Gates, J. NJ. Dixon, M. l.. Diehl, $. W. Heard, A. s. Fowler, E. Breeden, J. K. Weed and Lee Bowers.
 Gay took the life of Mrs. Lee tham on Saturday night in June a year ago. On the day follow ing he was arrested by Detectives Morgan and Newland, and in the office of Chief Clifton he made full confession, in which he took all responsibility for the killing on himself. He implicated no ore, and as an excuse for the killing said he had asked Mrs. Leetham for money. On being refused he admitted he drew a knife, and, shutting his eyes, commenced cutting her.
 Later Gay was taken to the j4il at Texarkana, and while
 here he made confession to Gabe Pratt, chief af the Argent. police force. Ia this confession ne claimed to have killed Mrs Leetham with a knife. but as serted that he was prompted to To so by N. D. L. Cook, who gave him Sl0 in cash.
 Both of these confessions wcr, read to the jury. Evidence was also introduced by Al Chichester, deputy sheriff. that Gay made the positive statement that lhe only true facts were those told the Little Rock officers.
