the American demands made In the
note OF June Q.
Il was understood the president and Mr.
Lansing found that they had reached
about the same conclusions--tha the

of a definite character making unmis-
takably clear that the United states can
not be expected TO remain passive in the
event OF another ettack on an unarmed
snd unreslsting ship with loss OF Amer

The Hote. Il Is now practically agreed

W HI f SLAVE RS.
ARE CONVICT Ed.
in The j. S. COURT
BIGE SILVER AND BEN STARL-
ING, YOUNG MEN FROM GE-
NEvA COUNTY. ALA, ARE
FOUND GUILTY.

Bige Shiver and Ben Startling, two
young white men from Geneva coun-
ty, Ala, were convicted in the United
States court yesterday afternoon of
violating the Mann white slave act,
by forcibly transporting from one
state to another a female for immoral
purposes. The victim was Mrs. Vicie
Blankenship, country girl of about
eighteen years, who resided with her
husband in Holmes county, Fla, near
the Alabama line. Col. L. w. Nelson
represented the defendants and Dis
trict Attorney Nicely and Assistant
Attorney Beall the government.
The evidence showed that SILVER
went to the woman's home with a
team driven by Startling, whom he
had employed, and told her that her
husband had been badly injured in
Geneva county, Alabama, and for her
to accompany him and he would take
her to her husband. After crossing
the state line the girl swore that
SILVER compelled her to drink large
quantity of whiskey and within a
short time afterward she became
practically unconscious. It was
charged that Shiver then accomplish
ed his purpose and left her by the
roadside, where she was found the
next day by her husband.
It developed that Startling had no
part in the crime other than to drive
the team. Both were on the witness
stand during the trial and practically
confessed to their parts in the af-
fair.
Judge Sheppard sentenced SILVER
to serve fifteen months in the Atlanta
federal prison and Startling to sixty
days in Jail.
TWO OTHERS SENTENCED.
George Howell, a horse trader
convicted earlier in the week of white
slavery by transporting a girl from
Florida county into Alabama and
there living with her as his wife, was
sentenced to serve two years in the
Atlanta prison. There is another in.
dictment against Howell for SINH.

Perry Miller, of Holmes county
also convicted of transporting a CIR
from one state to another for the
same purpose, was sent to the At.

COTTON SHIPMENT
ON SMALL STEAMER
THIRTEEN HUNDRED SQUARE
BALES, CONSIGNED TO GENOA
BUYERS, AND OTHER MIsCEL-
LANEOUs ITEMS CLEARED.

After q stay of exactly one month
in port since returning from Mobile,
where some repairs were necessitated,
the italian steamship Metlaoui will
probably go to sea today, loaded with
q rather valuable cargo, of which
1888 square bales of cotton form
the most valuable part. This cotton
represents a valuation of over $780,
600. Other items are 1000 tons of
pig iron, $4,000 superficial feet of
sawn timber, 729, 900 superficial feet
Of lumber and 10 tons of bunker
coal, the whole representing a valua-
ton of $110,51s.12.
This steamer has had a rather
eventful history since leaving Huelva
in July with a cargo of iron pyrites
for this place. While rounding Flor
ida she went up on a reef and re-
manned intact for some time, finally
working her way off with her own
steam. Arriving here, she discharged
cargo and then went over to Mobile
to 60 into dry dock, later returning Ia
Pensacola, which in some instances
seems to have been considerably de-
layed, for, with her expected depart
ure today, the steamer will have been
in Pensacola just a month.
Another Steamer Clears.
Another Italian steamship cleared
yesterday for Genoa. This was the
Sicilano, which takes a cargo OF
/ $50, 900 superficial feet sawn timbe,
representing a valuation Of Sill 900
This steamer also has bunker Goa
aboard and will probably go to sea
some time today.
