the advisability of bringing quo war—

tional troops to Sheriff McLain to pro-
tect the negro prisoner, Mitchell, at the
time of the lynching six weeks ago.
The citizens will endeavor to show
that the’governor’s office was in posses—
sion of,fu11 information regarding the
situation there on the afternoon preced-
ing the day on which Mitchell was
hanged and that a request was made to
the governor then not to send more
troops there in order to give the people
an opportunity to do with Mitchell jus:

No decision was arrived at, but the
question Will receive further attention,

TURKEY WANTS PEACE.
The Sultan Is Now Anxious to Expedite
Treaty Negotiations.
Constantinople, Aug. 6.—The Turkish
government officials are now manifest-
ing a desire to expedite the settlement
of the peace negotiations, owing to the
straitened state of the exchequer ren-
dering it impossible under the present
circumstances to contract a new loan;
because of the unhealthy condition of
the troops in Thessaly, where many of
the soldiers are dying, and for political
reasons, the attitude of Bulgaria, Ser-
via and Montenegro being regarded as
threatening.
The Turkish minister for foreign af-
fairs, Tewfik Pasha, replying to in-
quiries made by the embassadors of the
powers, has expressed ignorance of the
destination of the Turkish fleet which
left the Dardanelles on Tuesday last.
It appears, however, that the warships
are not going to Crete, which is prob--
ably a wise decision upon the part of
the Turkish authorities, as it has been
stated that the admirals in command
of the fleets of the powers have decided
to oppose, by force, if necessary, the
entry of the Turkish squadron into
Cretan waters.
Tollgate Raiders Active Again.
Maysville, Ky., Aug. 6.—The raiders

teen men tore down another gate. They
now control nearly all the roads in the
county.

ming bath anchored along the bank

pied at the time by 400 women, 200 of
whom were carried away and droWned.

ed a. locomotive and several cars. Sev-
eral persons were seriously hurt.

very hard and for years 1 have been
troubled with kidney and bladder com-
plaint. My back ached so severely
at times I could not move and I was
compelled to get up often at night to
urinate and lost a great deal of sleep.
I tried medicines and plasters but they
would not cure me. I saw Doan’s Kid-
ney Pills advertised and I got a box at
lale’s. They were just the thing for
my trouble. I have every reason to
think that they are just what the man-
ufacturers claim for them. They have
made me sound and well.”

'Illeir Deadly chly’to a Lillitary Chal-
lenge—A Madrid Newspaper Declares
That “Uncle Sam” \Vill Inter-
fere After Four Months.
Madrid, Aug. 6.——As the result of a
conference between the minister for the
colonies, Senor Castellano, and Premier
Canovas, the scheme for the customs
reforms for Cuba has been modified.
According to the first scheme the cus-
toms of Cuba were to be administered
by the council of administration of the
island, a reform organization, to be
composed of 35 councilors, 21 of them
to be elected directly by the people. The
council was to fix all rules for the a. -
plication of the customs duties, it was
to decide what is most convenient re—
garding taxes on exports, it was to fix
or modify the fiscal duties for revenue
on importations in the island, and it
was to be heard in an advisory manner
regarding the rules, classifications and
schedules of duties.
The Cuban customs tariff was to con-
sist of t o columns—one for revenue
only, equ ly applied, and in the same
proportion to foreign and home prod-
ucts, and the other to consist of differ-
ential duties imposed on all foreign
products, and where there would be a
margin of protection for the national
industry, with a. maximum that the
cortes was to establish. The govern-
ment was to fix, for the first time, the
articles of the tariff which were to
make up the differential columns, and
the taxes were not to exceed 20 per cent
of the value of the articles.
Raids of the Insurgents.
Havana, Aug. 6. — The insurgents
blew up with dynamite the culvert near
the Esperanza railroad station of the
city of Santa Clara on the night of July
29. The culvert was completely de-
stroyed, traffic being stopped and all
telegraphic communication being cut otf.
The authorities signaled by hello-graph
to Cienfuegos for relief.

pal streets. The challenge was given,
and the insurgents replied with “Viva
Cuba libre!” and opened fire.
The authorities are entirely at a loss
to know how the insurgents entered the
town and succeeded in getting by the
fort, garrisoned by the Third regiment
of local guerrillas, which was at the ex-
treme end of the street.
As soon as the insurgents were dis-
covered a great panic ensued among the
residents, women, children and the aged
fleeing pell melt through the streets and
begging for protection, while the men
either sided with the insurgents or
joined the Spanish forces. The stores
were looted, the invaders providing
themselves with food, clothing and
cash. The military commander order—
ed the garrison to help the patrolman
in the attack upon the insurgents, who
were intrenclled in Broadway. The lat—
ter were finally repulsed, the regular
troops losing 1 killed and 12 wounded.
among the latter a lieutenant and a
chaplain. The insurgents left 4 killed
and took away about 20 wounded.
The general belief is that some of the
inhabitants helped the insurgents to en-
ter the town. Twenty of the guerrillas
who were garrisoning the fort: at the
entrance have been arrestedfor crim-
inal negligence.
To Give Spain Four Months.
Madrid, Aug. 6.—The Heraldo asserts
that the United States government will
wait four months for the pacification of
Cuba by the Spanish authorities, after
which, should the insurrection not be
quelled, it will extend protection to the
insurgents.
