CUBA'S 5T11U5 OURINED TO CONGRESS PRESIDENT SENDS A SPECIAL MESSAGE ON THE SUBJECT OF DIPLOMATIC RE LATIONS. WASHINGTON. March 28.-The presi dent yesterday sent to congress the following message recommending pro vision for diplomatic and consular repre sentation in Cuba: To the congress of the United States: 1 commend to the congress the imme diate consideration of measures concern ing diplomatic and consular representa tives in Cuba and for carrying out the provisions of the act making appropria tion for support of the army for the fis cal year ending June 30. 1902. Approved March J, 1901. reading as follows: Provided further, that in fulfillment of the declaration contained in the joint res olution approved April 30, 1898, entitled ••for the recognition of the Independence of the people of Cuba, demanding that the government of Spain relinquish its au thority and government in the island of Cuba, and to withdraw its land and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban waters, and directing the president of the United States to use the land and naval forces of the United States to carry these reso lutions tnto effect, the president is here by authorised to 'leave the government and control of the island of Cuba to its people" so soon as a government shall have been established tn said island un der a constitution which, either as a part thereof or in in ordinance appended there to, shall define the future relations of the United States with Cuba, substantially as follows: 1. That the government of Cuba shall never enter Into any treaty or other com pact with any foreign power or powers which will impair or tend to impair the independence of Cuba, nor in any manner authorise or permit any foreign power or powers to obtain by colonisation or for military or naval purposes or otherwise, lodgment in or control over any portion bf said island. 2. That said government shall not as sume or contract, any public debt, to pay the interest upon which, and to make reasonable sinking fund provision for the ultimate discharge of which, the ordinary revenue of the island, after defraying the current expenses of government shall be inadequate. 3. That the government of Cuba con sents that the United States may exer cise the right to intervene for the pres ervation of peace, maintenance of a gov ernment adequate for the protection of life, property and individual liberty, and for discharging the obligations with re spect to Cuba imposed by the treaty of Paris on the United States now to be as sumed and undertaken by the government of Cuba. 4. That all acts of the United States in Cuba during Its military occupancy there of are ratified and validated, and all law ful rights acquired thereunder shall be maintained and protected. L That the government of Cuba will execute and as far as necessary extend the plan! devised or other plans to be mutually agreed upon, for tjie sanitation of the cities of the island to the end that *— a tfaeurrer.ee of epidemic and infectious diseases may be prevented, thereby as suring protectlonsto the people and com merce of Cuba, as well as the commerce of the southern ports of the United States, and the people residing therein. * 6. That the Isle of Pines shall be omit ted from the proposed constitutional tx>undar!es of Cuba, the title thereto be ing left to the future adjustment by treaty. 7. That to enable the United States to maintain the independence of Cuba and to protect the people thereof, as well as for its own defense, the government of Cuba will sell or lease to the United States lands necessary for c«al or naval stations at certain specified points, to be agreed upon with the president of the Uni ted States. s ‘ 8. That byway of further assurances the government of Cuba will embody the Coregoing provisions in a permanent treaty with the United States. The people of Cuba having framed a constiution em bracing the foregoing requirements and elected a president who is soon to take of fice. the time is near for the fulfilment Os the pledge of the United States to leave tne government and control of the island of Cuba to its people. I am advised by the secretary of war that it is now ex pected that the Installation of the govern ment of Cuba and the termination of the military occupation of that island by the United States will ta*e place on the 20th of May. next. It is necessary and appropriate that the establishment of international relations with the government of Cuba should co incide with Its inauguration, as well as to provide a channel for the conduct of diplomatic relations with the new states t !> as to open the path for the immediate egotiations or conventional agreements to carry out the provisions of the act Above quoted. It is also advisable that consular repre sentation be estab'ished without delay at the principal Cuban ports in order that Commerce with the island may be con tacted with due regard to the formalities prescribed by the revenue and naviga tion statutes of the United States and that American citizens in Cuba may have jAnpnpty plate / to fill it.

I therefore recommend that provision be forthwith made and the salaries ap propriated* to be immediately available for: a.

Consul general at Havana, $5,000. Consule at Cienfuegos, $3,000; Santiago de Cuba, $3,000. I do not recommend the present resto ration of the consulates formerly main tained at Baracoa, Cardenas. Matanzas. Neuvitas, Auga le Grande and San Juan de Los Remedios. The commercial inter ests at those ports heretofore have not been large. The consular fees collected there during the firseal year 1896-7 aggre gated $752.10. It is believed that the actual needs of the six offices named can be effi ciently subserved by agents under the three principal consular officers until events may show the necessity for estab lishing a full consulate at any point. The commercial and sjolitical conditions in the island of Cuba, while under the Spanish crown, afford little basis for es timating the local development of inter course with this country’ under the in fluence of the new relations which have been created by the achievement of Cuban Independence, and which are to be broad ened and strengthened in evafy proper way by conventional compacts with the Cubans and by wise and beneficent legis lation aiming to stimulate commerce* be tween the two countries, if the great task we accepted in 1898 is to be fittingly ac complished.

CASPER, Wyo., March 29.-Charles Frances Woodward, the condemned mur derer of Sheriff William C. Ricker, was hanged yesterday by an infuriated mob of 200 men. About 3 o'clock the mob descended on the jail and the leaders demanded the keys of the sheriff. He refused to give them up, and the crowd then secured a number of sledges and hammers and beat down the jail door. Outside the jail, a rope was quickly thrown around Woodward’s neck and he was roughly dragged from the building. He was taken a block away and hanged to a tree. Less than half an hour was oc cupied in the hanging. Considerable ex citement prevailed, but little was said. Woodward attempted to talk to the leaders, but they refused to hear him. An immense crowd witnessed the lynching. Several hundred sheep and cattlemen came to town during the day yesterday, and every corner was the scene of a dis cussion of the reprieve granted by the supreme court. After the lynching the mob dispersed and a greater part of those from out of town left for their homes. The crime for which Charles Francis Woodward paid the penalty with his life was committed on the evening of Janu ary 2 last at Woodward's ranch, near Garfield Park, in the Rattlesnake moun tains, 75 miles west of Casper, when he shot to death and mutilated the body of Sheriff William R. Ricker, of Natrona county. Woodward, with his wife, Bertha, and brother, Clarence, was arrested last No vember on the charge of stealing cloth ing and provisions from a ranch. It was alleged that Woodward’s ranch was the headquarters of a band of cattle and horse thieves. At the preliminary trial Bertha Wood ward was released from custody. The brothers were held to the district court, but they were unable to furnish bonds. On the night of December 30, 1901, they sawed off the bars of their cells and a window and got away. At the stockyards, east of town, Charles Woodward secured a pistol which had been placed there by a friend. Near Casper, he stole a horse and rode to his ranch, reaching there on the evening of January 21, 1902. Instead of finding friends ready to assist him, he found Sheriff xticker and two deputies at the house who were looking for him. He went to the barn, intending to aban don his horse and steal one of the officer's animals. It was about 7 o'clock in the evening and was quite dark. He mounted one of the sheriffs's horses and was ready to ride away when the sheriff came out of the house and. approaching the barn, ordered him to surrender. Woodward instantly shot the sheriff through the body and the officer fell to the ground mortally wounded. Woodward then, it is said, went to the dying man and struck him in the face with his six shooter. He took $45 out of the officer’s pockets and rode off. He was captured by a posse several weeks afterward near Billings, Mon., and brought back to Cas per. He admitted the killing and was con victed and sentenced to be hanged yester day. Tuesday the supreme court granted a stay of execution which would have giveh Woodward at least three months more of life. , HEAVYWEIGHTS MAY MAY FIGHT IN SOUTH NEW YORK, March 29.—0 n behalf of the Charleston Athletic club J. C. Juadon and W. McLaughlin, members of the southern organization, have made a per sonal offer to Fitzsimmons for the bout with Jeffries. The proposition was 75 per cent of the gross receipts with a guaran teed purse of $26,000. Fitzsimmons imme diately accepted the offer. As evidence of good faith, the southern club men have agreed to post a forfeit of $5,000 when the contract shell have been signed by the fighters. Juadon and McLaughlin explained to Fitzsimmons that there is nothing In the laws of South Carolina to prevent a box ing contest between heavyweights from being decided in the state. terrelLandguerry” CLUBS AT OGLETHORPE OGLETHORPE.

The plans have all been laid, and are being gradually executed. A demand Is to be made on the King mill for an advance pf 10 per cent. If the King mill grants this, then the other mills will be required to meet this raise. If the King mill refuses, then'the operatives are to strike, being supported by the opera tives of the other mills. If there follow s a general lockout the International Textile Union is expected and is pledged to pay strike benefits. These arrangements seem well planned to bring certain victory, and many of the hands are anxious for a strike. The King mill authorities say they can not comply with the demand. In the early months of last year the mill made no profits at all, and for the whole year only paid a dividend of 3 per cent. The de mand of the operatives will be resisted, an<| a strike in one mill will be met by a lockout in the others, including the mills at Bath, Warrenville, Langley and Gran itcville, S. C. The operatives of the King mill held n secret meeting at Red Men's hall last night, to deckle cn the form of demand tc be made and the time limit to be set. Some of the more conservative members were oppesed to extreme measures which might lead to a strike, but the majority favored action. The demand will be made for the advance to go Into effect on Mon day, April 7th. Cholera Sweeps Egypt. CAIRO, Egypt.

Berry, of Griffin, Ga., gave The Journal a cull this week. Mr. Berry tells us that he has a great many favor able reports from the best farmers In Georgia and from others In other cotton states that his cotton has been tried. They say It is the finest cotton they have evei seen. We were glad to hear of Mr. Berry's success. We have been satisfied for sev eral years that Mr. Berry had an excellent cotton. Mr. Berry has made splendid ex hibits of his cotton for the past three years and has taken premiums at the two last fairs. He' is not trying to deceive the people nor defraud them by showing the bast stalks, for he has brought some small stalks grown on his poorest land and better stalks on better land and still better grown on the best land. Mr. Berry is hav ing some opposition, but he has testimo nials from the best farmers who are stand ing by him and his cotton. Mr. Berry has undoubtedly perfected a splendid cotton that properly cultivated will make from two to three bales per acre. He has testimonials from such men as Hon. O. B. Stevens, commissioner of agriculture of Georgia; Hon. R. F. Wright, W. L. Peek, of Conyers; J. C. Johnston, of Lithonia; J. C. Chup, of Lithonia; W. P. Walker, the great wheat raiser, of Grif fin; A. J. Burr, of Griffin; R. J. Arnold and J. T. Field, of Hampton, and H. J. Copeland, of McDonough, and many oth ers. It is very desirable that our farmers grow the best cotton and try to average at least a bale per acre Instead of planting poor seed on poor land and rais ing one bale to every three or four acres. Mr. J. T. Buttrell. of Jackson, planted Mr. Berry’s' seed and won a SSO prize of fered by Mr. Berry for the best stalk. It contained 208 bolls, forty bolls making a pound of seed cotton, thus making over five pounds on this stalk. This stalk of cotton is probably the best ever produced In the state or south. Cotton seed can be obtained from J. L. Berry, Griffin, Ga. He will send a pam phlet on application. In writing to Mr. Berry mention The Atlanta Journal. It will pay the farmer to post himself about thl» cotton. •** Find Bostrom’s Improved Farm Level advertisement, and see what you get free. deglleT officer IS HOUNDING HEMOWN MRS. M. H.
