grace, and that he Is to be succeeded
as commandant of the palace by Gen
eral Bart Klelgels, who had made i
record for his cruelty and harshness as
prefect and as governor of Kief.
Report has It that Trepoff's recent
Illness, which Is atrlbutcd in some
quarters to poison, has left him In
such a shape physically that It Is fear
ed he may not be able to undergo the
strain of guarding the etar's person
from the terrorists. The fact that on
would-be assassins have penetrated
the lines about the palace has caused
his majesty, It Is said, to lose confb

NEGROES ACCUSED OF
ASSAULTING NEGRESS
Charlie Carr and John Cox, two ne
groes, each 19 years old, are locked
up In the police station, charged with
assault on Daisy Jackson, a 12-year-
old negro girl. The men are accused
of the assault by Emma Daniel, a sla
ter of the girl, who caused their arrest
Monday night as they were at the
union depot preparing to leave the
city.
The woman appeared at a skating
rink on Central avenue Monday night
and asked Special Officers Garner and
Dobbs to arrest the two negroes. She
claimed that the men had enticed her
slater from I.lthonla, On., several days
ago, and that the girl had been In
jured seriously.
The officers found the two negroes at
the depot and placed them under ar
rest. They will be tried In the police
court Tuesday afternoon.
Both Carr and Cox deny any assault,
and say that they hardly know the
S ri. They claim to have been In At-
nta for a number of weeks and to
have never visited Llthonla.
FULTON COUNTY SENDS
2 TO
By MANUEL CALVO.
By Prlvnte LiniimmI Wire.
Havana, Sept. 4.—Pino Guerra
stand* In the way of peace In Cubu.' It
Is understood that the Insurgent lead
ers are willing to lay down their arms
providing the Plnar d^J Rio chieftain
does so under a promise of general
amnesty and on election law which
will assure a free vote and a fair
count. This Is as far as the govern
ment is willing to go In dealing with
the Insurgents.
It Is understood hero that pressuro is
being brought to bear on Guerra, but
It Is doubtful if he will agree to lay
down his arms on these terms. Gen
eral Mario Menocal is said to be the
Intermediary between the rebels and
the government. In the meantime the
revolutionary forces arc gaining
strength In i>oth Plnur del Rio and
Santa Clara. In the latter province
General Guzman has been elected com
mander In chief by the various bands
of Insurgents operating in that pro
vince, with Colonel Juan Bravo as his
lieutenant.
Guzman now has 700 fairly well
armed men under his command. Guer
ra has, it is safd, taken up his inarch
toward Bahia Honda, where a revolu
tionary band under Marchette Is In
control. Colonel Alta von, who was
sent to force Guerra Into a fight, has
fallen back on San Juan de Marlines,
unable to bring the rebel leader to bay.
It Is hinted that Avaloez was not over
anxious to bring about a general en
gagement.
Guerra Is reported at Mantua, 15
miles northwest of Guancs. No news
of Importance came from Santiago or
the other eastern provinces.

PERMANENT FAIR BUILDINGS ARE
FAVORED BY SECRETARY COOPER
Secretary Walter G. Cooper secre
tary of the chamber of commerce, who
has returned to Atlanta after a three
weeks’ absence during which time he
visited the Canadian National fair, Is
strongly In' favor of the erection of
permanent buildings at the Atlanta
fair grounds, as is the case at the fair
grounds at Toronto.
Mr. Cooper left Atlanta some three
weeks ago along with the Joint com
mittee for Minneapolis to appear be
fore the Grand Army of the Republic
reunion In behalf-of the proposed na
tional parks of Atlanta. Mr. Cooper
stated that the chances are very
strongly In favor of Atlanta securing
the hoped for appropriation as there

throughout the country.
After leaving the City bf Waters Mr.
Cooper and Craig Cofleld went through
the Great lakes, visited Canada, and
after taking In Niagara, fame home

grounds contain $800,000 worth of per
manent brick exhibit buildings which

Mr. Cooper stated. Tuesday that in
his opinion Canada would some day be
one of the great powers of the world.
“The number of Industries of nil kinds
from cut glass to the manufacture of
minerals Into commercial articles Is
surprising,” said Mr. Cooper. "The tar
iff laws Imposed by the United States
have made these people Independent
and they have built up a large trade

While In Cnnadn Mr. Cooper and Mr.
Cofleld called upon Sir Mortimer

ussed the tariff laws. Sir Mortimer
