FIVE NEGROES uYNCHeD
Three Men and Two Women Strung Up for
 the Brutal Murder of IA White Man.


 MONTGOMERY, Ala, April 22-A gen. tleman, who arrived at o'clock last night from Greenville, Ala, forty miles south of here, reports that five negroes were lynched near there Saturday night. Just before his train left Greenville the sheriff of the county came into town. He reported that in passing through the Buckalow planta tion, three miles from town, he had found the five negroes, three men and two women, hanging by their necks to some trees. Their bodies were cold and they had evidently been dead for some hours.
 Saturday night news reached Green vile of the brutal murder near Butler, in that county, of Watts Murphy, q popular young white man, by three negroes. Murphy was nephew of the late Gov. Watts, of this city. After murdering him the negroes placed his body in brush-heap and burned the heap. The debris was examined and parts of the victim were found. The balance of the body had been con- sumed.
 An investigation was instituted. Three negroes were arrested. One of the negroes gave way and confessed the crime duplicating two other negro men and the two women. The officers secured them and were closely guard ing thesprsoners when last heard of Saturday night. The report last night did not give the details of how the mob secured the murderers except that they were taken by froce. A telegram from Greenville confirms the story.

 PARIS, April 22.-The Debats says in a leader on the situation in the Orient The Japanese occupation of Lioa-Tung is menace to both Pekin and Gorea. If Japan expects Russia to renounce her policy toward Corea she probably has made a great mistake. More over France will not leave Russia isolated in the east and Germany is not disposed to regard indifferently Japan's encroaehments. Japans con ditions of peace are immoderatc Her ambition ought to be brought down at once.
