EARLY APIXATIO.I
Union of United States
and Cuba a Certainty.
SO DECLARES CL 1 BAN LEADER
At Banquet In New York He
Gives Free Expression to his
Heartfelt Sentiments.
A New York dispatch says: A din
ner was given at the Union League
Club Saturday evening to General
Maximo Gomez and General T. Estra
da Palma.
The dinner was arranged on the
I spur of the moment. General Gomez
| intending to return to Cuba during the
day and not deciding tc remain over
until morning, wnen he accepted the
Invitation, and the guests were sum
moned by telegraph.
The Cuban general was the hero
| of the occasion and was warmly re
ceived. He made a brief speech, which
was interpreted by General Gonzales.
General Gomez said he was almost
touched to tears by the remarkable
reception he had received in the Uni
ted States. He knew Cuba was in
debted to the United States, but he
never knew until he came here how
deep that debt was —that it was not
merely the obligation of one people to
| another, but of brother to brother.
I Every Cuban, born and bred, he said,
lived and died with the idea of Cuba
libre before him, with the hope of the
people being free and relieved of the
yoke of oppression.
Cuba and the United States, said the
general, belong together. It is only a
1 question of gravitation when they will
j be one. But at present, after ihe great
struggle in which hundreds o*. thou-
I sands of lives were sacrificed and when
| men returned to their homes only to
! find their wives and children starved
to death in the restricted barriers in
which Weyler held them under his pol
icy of reconcentration, they felt that
they must have Cuba libre. It is real
i ized fully, he that Cuba cannot
[ get along without the United States,
but the Cubans do want to feel free
dom.
i General Gomez referred to General
j Palma as the hold-over president of
! Cuba, having been elected during the
insurrection of 1868. and he pointed to
his fellow Cuban as the first president
! of Cuba libre.
j General Palma made a feeling re
ply, warming to the subject of Cuba
libre, and speaking enthusiastically of
the future of the Pearl of the Antilles.
After the dinner General Gomez said
to the newspaper men that he wished
, to express his gratitude to the press of
the United States and of the world
for the great good they had done to
‘ the cause of Cuba libre. He said that
when he came here years ago he was
j very sad, but that on this visit he was
j very happy and was glad to recognize
how muen the American people had
done for Cubans.

of the value of Mr. Lorillard’s estate,
1 and, while its exact value at the pres-
I ent time is not known, it is believed

! ago as 1884 It was said to be from $15,-
i 000,000 to $20,000,000.

The question as to whether Decatur,
the county seat of DeKaiu county,
shall have a public school system, af
ter causing much discussion in the lit
tle town and creating considerable
feeling, has been taken into the courts
for settlement.
The purpose of a bill for injunction

eal citizens to prevent the sale under

question as to whether the system of
public schools, which has been pro
vided for, is legal. The tax fi. fas.
were issued from the city marshal's
office and levied upon the property of
the complainants in the bill for the
collection of a special school tax which

Would Be Unconstitutional.
Mayor Livingston Mims, of Atlanta,
vetoed the resolutions passed by coun
cil condemning the students of- the
Technological school for taking the
places of the striking machinists in
the Southern railway shops and call
ing upon the legislature to pass some
law to prevent such action in the fu
ture. The mayor’s veto message in
part is as follows:
“I regret extremely the adoption by
your honorable bodv of the accnmoa
nying resolutions and the heeessity
they impose on me to return them
with expression of my disapproval.
“I think the council can do nothing
in the matter and the question in
volved in the resolutions snould not
have been introduced in it. To ask of
the legislature or trustees of the Tech
nological school as proposed would be
to ask an unconstitutional act.
“Every man has the lawful right to
leave any service or employment at
any time he chooses and for any rea
son of his own, and to peaceably in
duce others to join "him and effect com
binations promotive of what he con
ceives his interest. But the employer,
too, has rights under the law: The
right to employ whom he pleases and
on terms accepted by the employe, and
it is but reasonable that he should en
deavor to fill the place made vacant
by him who leaves it.
“The Technological student in . his
own free time, when not under the con
trol of or in attendance on the Tech
nological or any otner school, has a
right to work for whom he pleases and
on such terms as he chooses. It would
not only be unwise to have any re
strictive laws in this matter, but as re
ferring only to a particular class would,
even if passed, be unconstitutional.
Better far it seems to me that this
council should let this matter alone.
Besides, i think the resolutions and ac
tion of council convey a wrong impres
sion and onq hurtful to the city and
which its well vnown conservatism
and sense of justice will disapprove.
“Respectfully, L. MIMS. Mayor.”

INCIPIENT RACE RIOT
Results at Ironton, 0., Caused By
Negro slapping Jaws of a
White Boy.
At Fleetwee park Iranian, 0., lata
Thursday aide moon John and Albert
Slaghtcr, white, wen probably fatally
stabbed by Luther Page and Abner
Owans, colored, and Charles Martin
and Riley Slaghtcr were beaten with
clubs. The trouble occurred over an
attack on a sniali white boy by a ne
gro. A riot followed. Finally the ne
groes were arrested and placed in the
county jail.
After midnight an attempt was made
to organize a mob and lynch the pris
oners. A crowd gathered, but no one
volunteered to lead the assault on the
jail. If the attack had been made, &
bloody battle undoubtedly would have
occurreu, as fifty armed negroes werp
on guard in and around the jail where
their friends were imprisoned.
Page and Owens were secretly ar
raigned Friday afternoon in the coun
ty jail. Arrangements were made to
remove them to Portsmouth jail for
safety immediately, as the authorities
feared trouble Friday night.
The removal of the negroes averted
a crisis. The two men were driven to
a train in a closed carriage, guarded
by Sheriff Dovel and Marshal Brice,
and halted a square from the depot.
Deputy Sheriff Payne and the police
force waited at the station and formed
a cordon about the prisoners as they
were led to the train in irons. Not a
dozen people were aware of the trans
fer before the train arrived and was
gone.
