of tho Baptists in Cuba, lias been

A New York Journal special from
Havana, via Key West, says that tho
Rev. Dr. Diaz, tho Baptist minister,

rest to him, and from that moment ho
was not allowed to speak a word to any
body except the men who huve him in
custody. His brother, Alfred Victo-
riano Diaz, also an American citizen,
was arrested at the same time.
The Rev. Dr. Diaz’s family knew
nothing of what had happened. Ho
and his brother were taken from
the houso so quietly that neither Mrs.
Diaz nor tbe children were disturbed.
In the morning she was thunderstruck
to find that her husbaud and brother-
in-law, whom she bad left tbe night
before quietly talkiug together, had
not slept in the house.

A farmer threemiloa from YVaycross,
who has been conspicuous for'several
years aH foremost among the farmers
of tho county in advocating diversified
crops and in abandoning entirely the
culture of cotton, will, this year plant
Bixty acres in cotton and two acres in
potatoes, having abandoned corn and
sugar cane. He will, howover, har
vest a fine crop of oats, and follow the
oat crop with a crop of cotton. His
neighbors, who Lave been following
his example for several years, will
likewise reduce the acreacre in diversi
fied crops and plant a largo sea island
cotton acreago.
The exposition buildings at Atlanta
are to be sold on May 7th, under tho
direction of the trustees of the stock
holders, and in a short time after tho
sale is accomplished the tall struct
ures will bo leveled to the ground
and removed by tho purchasers.
The sale of the buildings, the price
to be paid and other arrangements to
be made in tbe near future are all in
teresting subjects to the public and to
the stockholders of the company in
particular, for it is out of tho funds
received from the sale of the build
ings that a largo amount of tbe money

all the evidcnc- and arguments under

or to remove auy officers whoso oon-

AN ADDRESS ISSUED
By Commissioner Nesbitt In Regard to
Southern States Exposition.
Commissioner of Agriculture R. T.
Nesbitt, president of the Southern
States Exposition Company, of Geor
gia, lias issued an address to the peo
ple, calling upon them for support, in
the mnlter of collecting a proper dis-
2>lay to be sent on to the Cotton expo
sition in Chicago.
It is tho purpose of tho president to
have all tho counties in tho state act, at
once. Tho exposition opens on Ang.
1st, and it will require quick work to
collect tho exhibit before that time.
In a day or two committees from va
rious sections of the state will bo ap
pointed to look after the matter of
securing funds. The president has en
tered into tho work with dotermin<itia
to see that Georgia hash good displa;
in Chicago. Tho address is signed by
Major R. J. Guinn, secretary, and
Charles A. Harmon, treasurer. It is
as follows:
“Acting on authority of a call issued
by his exeellonoy, Governor Atkinson,
a general convention of prominent; cit
izens of Georgia was held in this city
April 9ih, at which tho Southern States
Exposition Company of Georgia was
organized. Its purposo is to aid in
attracting immigration and capital to
to this state by exhibiting its resources
fully at the Southern Stales exposition,
to bo held at Chicago during August,
September and October. This expo
sition will bring the south, its products
and its advantages prominently before
an audienco of several million people
who know almost nothing of them.
They do not now know that by reason
of mild climate and fertile soil tho
south is tho most productive agricul
tural section in the United States;
that it is richest in natural resources,
in timber, coal, iron ami other min
erals, and that, it, is tho best possible
site for manufacturing in many classes.
Tho exposition at Chicago will provo
these facts by displaying southern
products to millions who would never
become aware of them through other
channels. The south wants to attract
these millions, and it can reach them
best by going to them and demonstrat
ing, practically on a groat scale,before
an immense audience, tho advantages
tho south has to offer.
“No such demonstration him over
been made. It in, in effect, a declara
tion that tho south has ceased to bo a
commercial vassal; that it will no lon
ger pay commercial tribute, nor lan
guish supinely, the victim of contract
ed industries, with its collossal oppor
tunities going to waste. It proudly
enters the south in the list of indus
trial rivalry. Its novelty, its audacity,
its revolt against the bondage of long
usage will make the south’s industrial
challenge at Chicago a subject of uni
versal interest and widespread discus
sion.
“In a word it will advertise the
south far moro extensively and effect
ively than Das ever been done by auy
other means. Every class in every
southern state lias a direct interest iu
that; for it will tend to create a great
influx of population and capital; it
1 will build cities, factories and rail-
! roads; it will give work and wages to
i thousands who are now idle; it will
! double tho value of the farm land,and
j increase tho value of their products;
i it will give value to now useless for-
| lists, utilize mountains ol' coal and
I iron, expand every branch of trade,
increase railroad truffle enormously
and muko bankrupt railroads valua
ble.
“On behalf of tho great state of
Georgia I call upon its citizens to
zealously improve'the magnificent op
portunity offered them by Chicago's
unrivalled generosity. Chicago pays
all expenses for buildings and manage
ment; the south hus only to provide
tho exhibits.
“Georgia is one of .the richest and
most populous of tho southern states,
aud it should not bo excelled by any
of its sister states in tho extent and
completeness of its display at Chicago.
The adjoining states nro entering upon
the work of preparation with much
enthusiasm and will make magnificent-
displays of their resources. Georgia
should not bo second to any.
“Committees representing every
community and business interest of
the state have been organized and will
have charge of the details in their re
spective fields. Their work appeals
to the patriotism, the public spirit and
the self-interest, of every citizen, and
il should have their warm support.”
GROSVENOU’S FIGURES.
Ills Division of tho Delegates Elected
tho Past Week.
An Indinnapolis spooial says: Iu nil
tho tables sent, out irorn Washington
each week by General Grosvenor, tho
thirty delegates in Indiana have been
placed in tho McKinley column aud
'they have boon concodod to him on all
hands, although only twenty-six of
them have been elected. It is believed,
however, fourteen or fifteen of those
votes will never go to McKinloy wheth
er tho name of Harrison is brought
before tho convention or not,. The
men on the delegation who threatened
to bolt McKinley uro warm personal
udmirers of Harrison and their resont-
ment has boon aroused by tho charac
ter of the McKinley campaign iu In
diana, led by Chairman Gowdy, of the
state oommitteo. Mr. Gowdy has de
clared that tlm state convention shall
instruct for MoICinloy oven if it re
quires a bitter light and tho Harrison
people accuse him of inspiring certain
paragraphs tlmt are appearing in coun
try newspapers to the effect that Indi
ana would have been for McKinley
even bad Harrison been a candidate.
Barry Now, one of the delegates, said
tlmt, ho saw no reason why a
frioud of Harrison might not be tbe
consistent friend of McKinley; tlmt
these men lmd come to McKinley
only after Harrison lmd written
his letter, but tlmt if this Hort of cam
paign wero continued aud tho ques
tions of instructions forcod to an is
sue, thoy would tako it upon them
selves to demonstrate in the St. Louis
convention that Indiana’s first lovo is
Harrison, and that a campaign made

could not bo successful in this state.

STEAMER LAURADA MISSING.
She Sailed from Savannah with Emi
grants to Africa.
Tho steamship Laurada, which
sailed from Snvauuab, Ga., sometime
ago, carrying 311 emigrants to Liberia,
1ms now been out iil't.y-two days, aud
nothing has been heard from her. She

buster or has been lost. The agents of

Turner, wlio is interested in tho mat
ter, scouts the idea that the ship has
gone astray, and states that she has
not yet had time to roach her destina
tion, or reach a cable station whereby
she could communicate with this
country. Ho says that the statements
published in tho newspapers that the
ship was lost is a falsehood manufac
tured to frighten African emigrants.
