®L SITUATION
q d tiie island of Gdba, Says
Senor Bock
i$ not so very bad.
Thinks uncle Sams Soldiers
Have a Job on Hand.
Key West. May 19,-Senor
G. Bock, the wealthy Havana
cigar merchant, who is waiting
here for permission to go to Ha
vanaon the German steamer
Polaria, demes the stories of
suffering and starvation in the
large Cuban towns. He claims
to have over 6,400 men working
on his tobacco plantations and
who, incidentally, are raising
food enough for themselves and
a large community besides}.
Senor Bock says he is inform
ed as to the real situation and
can set as many more men at
work raising food stuff whenever
needed. The farmers who are
raising produce for the Span
iards, he explains, are armed
I and protected by the government.
I and he asserts that the present
■ blockade cannot starve Havana
■or any other part of Cuba into
■eurrender in a hundred years.
■ When asked what was becom-
■ iug of the Cuban population
■meanwhile, he shrugged his
■shoulders and remarked :
■ -‘The stories of the burned
■fieldsand desolated farms be
■tween Havana, Sagna La Grande
■and Matanzas, told by Ameri
■can investigators, were true
■when written, but a fortnight
■puts those farms in working or
■der unprotected by the govern-
■ went, and we are raising crops
■every forty days.

Horn Lake, Mies., May 19. —At
the Foster plantation, four miles
southeast of this town, at 10
o’clock this morning, four deputy
sheriffs R. B. Campbell, H R.
Campbell, W. C. Cooper and C.
I. Jones—visited the Foster p ace
t? arrest Nimbrod Littlefield, and
William Littlefield, his son,
Loth negroes charged with a mub
der committed in Boliviar county
several years ago.
The negroes resisted the officers,
whereupon Deputy R. B. Campbell
fired, killing Nimrod Littlefield.
The younger negro seized a win
chester rifle and used it with fear
ful effect. His first shot struck
Deputy Cooper squarely’ in the
foiehead, killing him instan’ly.
The intursated negro then turned
on H. R. Campbell, shooting him
in the head, death result ng in
stantly, whi ea third shot brought
Depnty Jones to the ground a
corpse.
Deputy R B. Campball having
no available ammunition, beat a
hasty retreat for assistance, and
upon returnin g to the scene
of the tragedy, a posse found the
bodies of the dead white men hoi
ribly mutilated, their heads h -
ing been beated into a jelly.
Bloodhounds were secured and im
mediately put upon Littlefield’s
track, and if caught a lynching
will occur. There is great excite
ineut throughout the settlement
where the shoottng occurred.
TWO MEN KILLED
Storekeepers Near Valdosta At
tacked By Rowdy Negroos.
Valdosta, Ga., May 19—News
has been rece’ved here of a fearful
tragedy in the southern part of
Clinch county. Last night a white,
man, named Charley Griffith, and
a negro, named Charles Thomas,
were both killed and a white man
named James Drawdry, and a
negro named Henry Minsue, were
both badly wounded.
The two white men are in the
mercantile business, and the ne
groes were cursing about their
store. The negroes were ordered to
leave the place, and both pulled
their weapons anil opened fire
upon the merchants. The whi'e
men were unarmed, and were at,
the mercy of the desperados.
A negro named Charles Smith
was outside the store when the
shooting began, and he ran it side
to defend the whites. He killed
one of the negroes and wounded
the other.
It is believed that the negroes
intended to rob the place and tha'
they stirred up a difficulty to get
in thei - work.
The sheriff of Clinch county is
said to have gone to the scene,
though he has not returned, r l he
tingedy occurred in a thinly set
tled settlement.
