because of the undoubtedly pure mo-
tives underlying the agitation"
one fact alone settled the question
of what was to be done with these
women. They were guilty as charged.
They had entered into a conspiracy
and done overt acts in pursuance of
their agreement. In England punish
ment ensues upon guilt. The recon-
mendation for mercy was disregarded,
and Mrs. Pankhurst and Mrs. Law
renee go to prison for nine months
more.
The strength Of sin is the law. a
postulate which may be heightened
by another saying. that the strength
of law is the punishment. Mercy is a
beautiful quality which descends like
the gentle dew from heaven. but il
does not maintain the majesty of the
law nor strengthen respect for il. The
British way is better than our way
where the guilty have a very good
chance to escape the consequence of
their lawleSSness. Pity need not be
repealed, but mercy is very often
harmful.-Charlotte Progress.

The information that OsCenoz con-
templated an attack upon Guanta-

taken from a negro rebel. Other dis
patches indicated that Ivonet was
planning to begin a campaign near
Nipa Bay, the heart of the rich Amer

OF the negro forces and the scarcity
OF their ammunition, il is not believed
that the campaigns are really under
contemplation, but that false messages

DELEGATES Are
DESERVING TAFT

WASHINGTON, ID. c. Special
With the active campaigning for the
Republican nomination for President
brought to a close, Director Mckinley.
of the Taft Bureau, claimed Wednesday
that President Taft has $40 delegates,
or thirty more than necessary to NOM
fnate while Senator Dixon, manager
of the Roosevelt campaign, claimed
that the colonel has a sufficient num-
Der of delegates TO nominate, even
though the Republican national COM
Inittee rejects all the Roosevelt con-
tests.
The claim of victory for Colonel
Roosevelt is based on the assumption
OF assertions from the Taft standard.
Senator Dixon said that we have pos
five assurance that more than thirty
of the New York delegation will vote
for Roosevelt on the first ballot" The
Roosevelt forces also claim that
Southern delegates are ready to de-
sert TO Roosevelt
Letters have come from two

indicating that they recognize that

HAVANA--Special.- That the pres

Eastern Cuba has saved millions of

which has 100000 worth of invest
ments in Oriente province.
Mr.. Lewis arrived from Oriente,
where, he says, the situation was crit

the American troops
Twenty thousand tons of cane and
much machinery of the Lamaya Land
Company, another American corpora
ton, was burned by the rebels.
Il received a note from Estenoz
threatening to destroy the properly

who are specializing that La Toilette

Some of the Roosevelt men profess
to fear that the Taft forces. in an
emergency. might throw their strength
to La Toilette, if necessary to beat
Roosevelt. The Taft managers say
there has been no need to consider
such an emergency.
