The fc lowing note to Mr. Cox will throw light c the affair: NO DOUBT A MURDER HAS BEEN COMMITTED ' Watts. Oct. 20. 1900. PMr. R E. Cox, Dear Sir: If you ha' not already subpoenaed Anna Gray's b( that they call "Big Son," do so i onoe. Every effort willjbe made to keep hi 8? away from Court. This boy, from all I ct I learn, wan with the other boys the day It claimed the negro was murdered, and h; ' told some one all the circumstances; Fro the objection that the suspected parties ha' manifested to his being questioned elth publicly or privately, I don't think there Is particle of doubt but that "Big Hon" could t( all about it. Anna Gray, "B'g Son's" molhc also knows more ttian she told or chooses tell., In fact, she said so. If you decide to act on thlB' suggestion yi will have to scud out for "Big Son," othe wise, you can't get him. for his mother at kinsfolk will uot let him come voluntarily, don't think there Is any doubt but that murder has been committed and it ought* be Investigated closely.

I., Aug. 34.?My Dear Jim: Yoor very highly appreciated letter was reoeived a few days ago. It did me a lot of good to learn that I am not entirely forgotten by some of "-?" aI/I frtondo o bnmo 1 I cannot ?ay dow when I will take a vacailon, not before I return to the United States. \?ttfca&?er that may be I will go borne, where h In addltfmjJjH&e other home-folks, my wife now lives. She unwever Is speaking o&tak? log a trip to Detroit, Mlob., to visit her brother and uncle, but willteturn I suppose before ... I get back. 111 i guess you would llke"^?' me to tell you n" something about this country and Its busid68b. 16 The Americans have BteppeJ in antf taken a '?' great big eity and a great blE'-country. In ?? capturing the above they captured aj>eople aa y much mixed in race as our IndlHdSJjL^b? IH West. These people are thoroughly outofac> cord with us.. Tneir mode of Hie. style of .j? buildings, conveyances and rations differ from ours almost as much as their language. ?8 They never have a glass window or shingle Q" roof, They live always on the seoond floor If they can aflord a two-story bouse. I have never seen a bouse with more than two 'e stories. On the ground floor the stable and n" carriage are usually fonnd and servant's quarm tcrs. Byfaftbe largest number of buildings are made of bamboo, covered with a kind of Li palm leaf called Nlpa. The bamboo Is merely nana aa nnrs fixcsdt that it erows to be as )0 large as y6ur thigh. il- The floor of a great many bouses consists of li. lathes made from splitting up tbf bamboo, a They remind one very mucn of a white oak as split. The nlpamakes an excellent roof but ?1- does not last vtfry long?not more than a few >n years. When on the roof It remind* one very much of corn shucks were tbey prepared as for making a collar and then woven or rather 0 tied by their big end with a string. There is never a nail In one of these roofs, ire The rafters and lathes are all tied and pinned. ,v Nails come high out here. at The land Is rich, but|little ol It is cultivated. n> Some sugar and mnch hemp and rloe are lD ralfieA. Aside from these but few plants are I* cultivated. Cocoanuts and 6annanas grow ft(, wild. These people never plant an Irish pooj tatoe but raise Borne sweet potatoes. Their ire pr^pclflal meal is fit h. but tbey raise a conslder arable number of hops. Very few cows are a seen tftl many caraboos which Is a water ,11 buflaJoWjfhey are domesticated and love the ir Dative b^t do not like a white man. Tbey uJ grow big as our oxen do and are the prlncfpip Wimt of burden. t )Q They amaot.worked In pairs bat yoked up r. sln^lfc 'to*% which is both heavy and id stroUgX^lmse beasts are very docile till they 1 waut^^J When that time arrives if you a do QOttyfUMm go 10 II, luey wm ui ao evefjf to thing.bpoHstl to them an^when they come 10 wher# 1tr is they go In and wallow as hogs do except they go In so deep that only the head sticks out. Their meat is coarse and not ? good to eat The horses are very small, though hardy and never used for drawing anything heavier than a vehicle with a man Is- or two in it. Beef is worth 60 cents a pound ol here. As a consequenoe very little is eaten, as These people live principally on rice and flsh ?n and eat with their lingers. They squat down when they eat and rarely use a chair. Tbere ie are a great maoy Mestizos which co/responds ;e, to our mulatto. rs This city is about ten times as big as Auat gusta. Ga., but has only one street car line, ol and that is drawn by their little bit of ponies, tie A. good electric line would be a money makid ing investment. There is but one railroad lie and that a very poor one. It is about 125 re miles long. The number of steam boats is id Insufficient for the islands and so la aoy other an means of transportation. . id This place otrera tho greatest Inducements a of any place 1 know of lor a man with oapltal, ed but for a man who has to work he had better )r- stay away. Bd We are gradually getting the worst of our as bargain. When a white man wishes to go as from one town to another he has to get an rn escort of not less than six to a dozen soldiers m to guard him. Often times they swoop down ir- on parties of this size, kill two or three, ist wound some and run away. Sometime they ad capture the whole lot. Our men ere getting o sick and going homo and reducing the garrlad son, scattered all over the Islands which will eventually lead to abandoning many towns. U/nnnn hold the blc towns pakv enouch. hnt have not men enough to run the little ones 88 ]r well. It Is really necessary to have men dy enough over here to polioe every town on the Islands. About all our own soldier* are do Ing now 1b performing the duty of a police man. You would like to know about the weathert Well It Is hot here, but at this season not any er? hotter than at home.
