n in.
Washington, D. C, Special. ?Repub
lican Goveq^ior W, S. Taylor, of Ken
tucky, lio has been at Washington
for some tunc past preparing paper*
in bis appeal to the Supreme Coi\rt,
has gono to New York. Ho will ro
turn to Washington about the middle
of the week. The friends of Governor
Taylor say they have no Information
ns to the indictment alleged t<? Ju? y ? (
"nren found against him in Kentucky.
They say, however, that if 'he has
been indictod, lie will return to Ken
tucky as soon as the Supreme Court
hears the eases and will meet all
charges without hesitation. It is un
derstood that Governor Taylor's visit
to Now York is for the purpoa&^of con
suiting lawyers regarding the case.
New York, Special. ? The World of
Sunday says: W. S. Taylor, Oovornor
of Kentucky, is in Now York in conse
quence of the finding of an indictment
against him by the grand jury of
Krankort charging him with being an
accessory beore the fact to the murder
uf i Wm. Goebel.
He appealed to Governor Roosevelt"
Saturday afternoon., asking that any
demand for extradition be denied.
The interview between the govern^'
of Kentucky and the governor of Jjfew
York lasted for an hour and a hair The
utmost secrecy was observed in. the
pomlng- of Governor Taylor to the
homo of Douglass Robinson, brother
in-law to Governor Roosevelt, in his
t, stay here and in his departure. Din
ing the visit of Governor Taylor sever
al delegations called on Governor
Roosevelt and many visitors were re
ceived. To no one -was the presence
of Governor Taylor known, for he was
seated in a corhpr ohalr in the dining
ix>om and the folds of heavy red cur
tains intervened between this and the
drawing room. Governor TayJor ar
rived in Now York from Washington
whore be -has-been preparing his case
Cor the .Supremo Court. The tnform.T- 1
tion that he had been indicted caused a I
sudden change in >his plans. The in- |
dictment was not anticipated. At first
t'he fact was disputed, but 'Friday nighi
friends of the goverhor wore informed
that the report of the indictment which
had become known In a mysterious
way, was absolutely correct. A con
sultation was held. Some advised that
the governor should join ex-Secretary
/' State Finley, of Kentucky, also un
ier indictment, in Indiana. It was
.cared that if Governor Taylor remain
ed in Washington, the requisition of
Governor llcck-ham wonbl be frnnoTed.
The most feasible plan, and the one of
fering to the Kontucky executive the
greatest hope of Immunity, was Ills
trip t<o New York, and an Interview
with Governor Roosevelt.
Governor Taylor called on ex-Presi
dent Harrison at tho Fifth Avenue Ho
tel, shortly after noon. He made a
desperate plea to the ex-President to
reconsider his decision not to act as
bis counsel. General Harrison hoard
Governor Taylor courteously, but firm
ly informed him that it would be im
~ T)m?siM?^for him to take up his case,
cither beriwrc the Supremo Court of the
I'rtited Stated or before the Kentucky
courV, whra. the trial of the governor
on th<V liwliclment will come up.
General (Harrison said: "It was not
that I do not belleveiln the course of
. Governor 'l\ylor that Jcaused my refus
al to act as e^unspf or him. I had so
many engageme*f(s..that I could not
? take bis caso. I waB never formally
approached. Friends of Governor Tay
ior asked me if I cared to take up his
case, as I say, and I declined because
of my numerous engagements.
"1 can not discuss what Governor
Taylor said to me. 1 will say thiR, I
have not agreed to connect myself with
(he case."

GEN. RU.VDLE MARKING TIME.
he Found More Boers Than He i;x*
pec to J.
Londoi\, by Cable.? All attention is
centered ?on the interesting though
complicated situation In the southeast
ern portion in the Orange Freo St :i t <?,
from which developments of the ut
most Importance must ensue In the
near future. General Bundle, i- would
seem, has found the Boers confronting
him at Dewet's dorp in stronger force
than he cares to engage, and so he ts
marking time, pending the arrival ?>f
supports. While General Ruudle is
preparing to strike Dewet's d:rp, Gen
erals Brabant and Hart are pushing
along the frontier of Basutol<ind,
where they will be able to frust.Vite
any attack on General Handle's right
and Generals French and Bole-Carew
are hastening frhtn Bloemfonteln to
Bart he, the Boer line of retreat north
"wards. Meanwhile the Burghers'
forces occupying Tihaba N'C.hua are In
f. \v> 'fcgVt a fitfiaylng action'
giving the Boers at Dewet's dorp and
Wepc.n.er time to retire in case of de
feat, and it seems as though General
French must dispose of this Thalm
N'-Chu before he can reach the rear of
the Boer force? opposing Generals
Bundle and Brabanut, otherwise hi:;
flank will bo open to nsuault. The Bo
ers driven out of Leeuw knp will prob
ably rally 4V Thaba N'Ghu, where a
stiff fight may be expected. Should
the British f.til in this attempt to bring
about another I'aardeberg, it must af
fect Immensely the larger issues of the
war, as it will undoubtedly lead to a
-persn?4ent repetition of thfl guerilla
tactics .which have been largely respon
sible for the penning up of Lord Rob
ert* at BlOemfontein for so many
weeks. During the course of General
Aklerson's advance on Leeuw kop. the
Canadians found themselves in a
tight corner Sunday, near Donkers
poort. The Canuadlan mounted in
fantry sent to reconnoitre the Boer po
sition approached within three hundred
yards of a farm, Hying a hospital flag,
under cover of which the Boers opened
feucli a hot lire on the Canadians that I
Uiey were unable to attempt to retire
until another force of the Canadians i
covered their retreat by ' threatening ;
the rear of the Boer position.

Ex-Convists Not Exempt.
In response to a letter from County
Supervisor Owens, of Richland county.
?Attorney CJcncral Bellinger bus pre
pared the fallowing;
Dear Sir: i'our letter of the 17th in.
slant has ji^tbeen received, in whioli
you refer to the question recently ask
ed the governor as to tho "liability of
ex-convicts to road duty." The pro
vision as to Iho working of tho public
roads is purely a statutory one and tho
t object, far as the same relates to
"persons liable to suoli duty," is cov
ered by section \ of the acts of 1900,
page 289, which provides, "That all
male persons able to perform tho\la
brrr herein required between the agoa
of IS and 55 years there follows certain
exceptions as to certain oouulie* aaid
nie ages specified, and also oxcep^iAin
isters of tho gospel in actual charge
of h congregation, and persons per
manently disabled in tho military ser
vice of this State and persons who ser
ved in tho late war between thn States
and persons actualy employed in the 1
quarantine service of tho State), |
shall be required annually to perform
labor on the highways under the di- J
recti 011 of tho overseer of tire said dis- .
trict In which he shall reside, as fob j
lows." o-ie. It septus clear from the !
Igbove, which is exhaustive, that ox- j
convicts are not exempt from tho per- j
icrmance of road duly. The question !
of citizenship does not arise, in my,
opinion in this connection.

hela an inquest over the body of the
child. l)r. J. H. Munn, who held a
post mortem examination, stated that
the cfaild's death was not from natural
causes. He foifyd bruises upon the
head and body which Indicated brutal
treatment, and it evidently had been
stamped to deuth. The verdict of the
jury was that the child chme to ith
death from brutal treatment at the
hands of its mother, or words to that
effect. The acting coroner sent the case
up tx> the MayiCffttrt of General Ses

THE CUBAN CENSUS.
Some Interesting facts Brought Om
By It.
NATlVb ANDfOftfclliN POPULATION.
How the Races Stand in Point of Nuin?
hers.? American Population Span*
lah and Colored.
Washington, I). C., Special. ?Hies.
Sanger lias made public the compen
dious results of the Cuban comma
taken under bis direction. The figures
aro very Instructive* and, an the opin
ion of tho war dopartmont officials,
fully justify tho decision of tho ;ul
mtafetratlou to allow municipal suf
frage in Cuba at an early stage. The
officials ate gratified to
native Cubans constitute i.o largo a
portion of the population; that the
whites so greatly outnumber tho
blacks and that so large a proportion
can read and write. In their opinion
there seems to be no reason for the
objection that the proposed basis ot'
suffrage would rceult iu turfing tho
Island over to the control of Spain.
Tho total population of Cuba is J,
572,797, including 815,205 males nr.d
757,59^ females. Therft are 117,372
white males and 402,926 white females
of native birth.' The foreign whites
number 115,7f>0 males and -26,459 fe
males. Thoro ara J. 1,898 males negvof s
and 122,740 female negroes. Tho mix
ed faces number 125,500 males and
M 5,305 females.
The population of Ilabana city is
235,981 anjd of the province of llabe.nn
424,804. \sy'
Tho population of the province of
Matanzns is 202,441; of Pinar del ltio
173.064; of Puerto Principe 88,234; of
Santa Clara 356,536; and of Santiago
327,715.
Of the total population o? the island
1,118,709 persona are set down as
Ringle, 246,351 as married; whilo 131,
787 live together by mutual consent.
There are 85,112 widowed persons.
Of tho total population according (o
citizenship, 20,478 aro Spanish; 1,2.16,
367 are Cuban; 175,811 are In suspotise;
7S.526 are of otheV cltlzen?hij}^jinxlJLllL
are unknown." The "Spanish by birth
number 129,240. Of the- children of 10
yeans of ago and over, 49,414 have at
tended schoof. Of the total population
443,426 can read and write and 19,158
have a superior education.
The table on citlzensu.p, literacy and
education is specially important as
forming tho basis of suffrage about to
bo comerred. Because so many citi
zenships are still in su&pense, and for
other reasons, tho returns are not quite
complete, and for other reasons, the re.
turns arc not quite complete, but tho
conclusion is drawn that There will bo
pi least 14,000 qualified native Cuban
voters under the proposed basis of suf
frage, and against uils there will bo
55,767 Spaniards whose citizenship
'wis In suspense when the census was
taken, less the number who have since j
declared to preserve their Spanish
citi^nship, and plus Illiterate Span
iards. not cjeclarwl who are the owners
of property. It is not believed that
there will be any great number of tho
latter class,, as tho total number of
Illiterate Spanish males over 21 Is
only 17,424* Tho'X^omparison shows a
much greater preponderance of Cuban
voters than was expected. There are
187,826 white adult males who wore
born in Cuba as against 9K.083 born in
Spain; 6,794 born in othef countries
and 127,300 colored.
Males are In excess in the total popu
lation, {jceept in Santiago, though tho
female whites outnumber the mole
whites, except In Plnar del Klo.
Among the negroes and mixed races
the females are in excess; while
among the foreign whites the males
aro largely in excess.
The negroes are In. the minority in
Cuba, constituting only 32 per centVof
the population, being the most num
erous in Santiago, where they consti
tutors per cent. The native whites
constitute more than one-half the
population, or 58 per cent. The pro
porttOT of -rMtdren under 5 years is
unusually small, but the proportion
under 21 Is nominal; about one-half of
the population. Only 15.7 per cent, of
adults were married. Nearly nine
tenths of the inhabitants were born in
Cuba. Nine-tenths of the children leas
than 10 years of age do not attend
school; 43 per cent, above 10 years are
literate. n

The week eliding April "3rd was

rose to or above SO degrees at various

The llrst day and tlie last two days

The d imago caused by the heavy
rains was canllnod principally to tin1 '
upper and central portions of the Stale

bottom land crops were inundated or
covered with sasitl or mud; roads and i
bridges wore destroyed; fertilizers j

the lands; hut. the rain bonelltted \
wheat, oast, pastures, truck and j
