SOLDIERS IN CHARGE
But They Are Seemingly Un-
able To Make Arrests
Of All the Guilty
Ones.
Pan a 111. Nov 10. William
Lynch employed by the Palace Coal
company up to the time of the strike
was shot at by negroes last night.
They ran him home shootinr through
his house several times and firing
bout ten shots.
They also shot through the house of
Mrs. Ada Mclntyre a widow who was
taking care of a tick daughter. She
begged for mercy but the negroes
paid no attention to her. Fortunately
he was not hit by any of the bullets.
The negroes in the vicinity known as
the "Flat Sam" district came running
out ane began shooting in all direc-
tions. They kept this up until the sol-
dlers arrived on the scene.
Things are in such a state that it is
dangerous for any one to go out in the
mining district at night and citizens
re very much excited. They say if
something Is not done before long there
will be an outbreak and every negro
and operator will be killed. ;
The soldiers did everything in their
power but it was impossible to arrest
ny. negroes.

Now.
PlTTSBURO Pa. Nov. 10. Andrew

THE SPANIARDS HOPE
That We May Yet Come To See How
Bad We Are.
London Nov. 10. The Spanish
peace commissioners are now directing
their hopes toward some international
turn in the peace negotiations which
will result In Spain retaining at least a
nominal sovereignty over the Philip-
pines. The Spaniards affect to discover a
new prop to this somewhat decayed ex
pectation -io Emperor William's pro
posed visit to Cadiz. They also live in
hopes of concerted action among the
powers to check the American preten
sions.
The various ambassadors have al
ready reported upon the situation and
they see confirmation of
those hopes in the tone of
the Buseian and German newspapers.
which refer wrath fully to tbe "imper
ial madness" and the "progressive in
toxication" of Americans and their
vain imaginings that Europe will per
mlt the Pacific ocean to become an
American lake.
This excited press points out that
Japan and Crete are precedents for
Europe's concerted interference. Eng
land rises as a stumbling
block to such proposed con
certed action more persistently
after Lord Salisbury's dark hint at the
lord mayor's dinner last night when
he said that the United States may
have already approached an entrance
into the world's politics and that
while that entrance might not be con-
ducive to peace it would conduce to
the interests of Great Britain.

GREAT RIOT
In Progress Between Whites and
Blacks.
Wilmington N. C Nov. 10. At 9
o'clock this morning 200 armed white
men burned the building occupied by

Wilmington N. C Nov. 10. A
terrible riot is in progress here. Eight
negroes and one white man are report
ed to have been killed. Over a score
are wounded and the mayor and city
officials colored republicans have fled-
A mob led by Congressman Waddell
burned out the negro newspaper the
Record.
The building with all the outfit of
tbe newspaper is destroyed. This
summary action was taken because the
negroes failed to heed the warning of
the whites to remove the plant. The
Reoord building is situated in a dense-
ly populated negro locality. From the
first the negroes abandoned their
homes and fled.
Reports of riot and bloodshed reach-
ed a hundred more laborers employed
at one of tbe cotton compresses who
quit work and started for the scene of
the trouble. They were stopped by
white men and compelled to return to
work.
The negro editor Manly Is now
here to be found and the leaders have
advised the whites to shoot him on
sight.
Business has practically been aban-
doned throughout the city and the
whites are parading the Btreete armed
to the teeth.
Thus-far three negroes have certain-
ly been killed and one white man
wounded. More fatalities are proba-

ANGLO SAXON UNION
The First Off Iclal Utterance In Re-
ference to It.
London Not Premin r SaJ
lisbury's strong gpeech at the lord ma-
yor's banquet last night caused some-:
thing of a seneation especially hiB re-
ference regarding the possible entry of
the United States into the field of
European politics.
His statement that such advent
would be to the interest of Great Brit-
ian causes satisfaction but it is only
the echo of public opinion as reflected
in the press for many days. Its import-
ance comes from the fact that it is the
first official utterance to the effeot that
the British government looks forward
to an Anglo-Saxon alliance against tbe
world.

SMALLPOX AT MES1LLA.
Report Concerning the Epidemic
Said to Be Unfounded.
A man who is in a position to know
whereof he speaks eaid this morning
that the great hurrah created about
smallpox raging at Mesllla was stirred
up by rabid partisans who were per-
fectly willing to injure the town pro-
vided they could create a scare and
keep country people from visiting Me-
sllla on election day to vote.
He said the scheme had worked well
although the sensational reports con-
cerning an epidemic of smallpox had
little if any foundation on fact.
In round figures $100000 was the
value of the money purses won by
the professional cyclists the past sea-
son and as there are 500 registered
professional racing men in the coun-
try the returns to the profession could
not have been large. As . a matter of
fact about all tbe money went to less
than one-third of their number and
only twelve of them won over $2000
each.
