FROM THE SEAT OF WAR
Comes News of Other Spanish Defeats To
 bacco Very Scarce.

Key West, Fla, Sept. 11.-Passengers arriving by the steamship Mascotte to- night report that big battle has been fought near Camaguey between the in surgents under Maximo Gomez and the Spaniards under General Mello. The battle is said to have lasted forty-eight hours and the Spaniards were repulsed with heavy loss, leaving over fifty killed and wounded on the field.
 Roloff's band has been active during the last week, having blown up troop train by dynamite near Santiago de Cuba and a bridge near Sagua. The Spaniards admit that the train was blown up but claim that only five men were killed. Advices received here state that nearly 100 soldiers were mangled by the explosion.
 The harbor of Havana is almost de- serted. When the Mascotte left for this port today not ship of any kind could be seen save those belonging to Spain, and they were few.
 A prominent cigar manufacturer who arrived tonight on the Mascotte, reports tobacco very scarce and the price high owing to the insurrection and to the failure of the crop. The Vuelta Abajo district is producing very few wrappers.

sponse to the British demand for dam ages because of the Bluefield affair. The Bluefield Recorder claims that some of "the persons indemnihed owe no ale glance to England.' The amounts re- ceived by individuals range from HOO to f4500, the British vice-consul, Edwin Hatch, receiving the latter amount.
 Inasmuch as the original British de- mand was for f15,000 as smart money" to be paid for insult to the British flag in the person of Viee-Consul Hatch and left the question of damages to Hatch and other British subjects in their pri- vate capacities. to be subject to further arbitration. this would seem to indicate that the British government had aban- doned it's original intention of pressing further claims and was willing to rest content with the payment of the E15000 demanded by the British feet

nary of Atlanta, has made arrangements to hold congress on Africa at the expo sition from December 13 to December 15. This movement, based on the Stuart mis- sicnary foundation at the Cannon The ological seminary, endowed by a citizen of Illinois, proposes to bring leading men from all over the world engaged in this work. Among them will be Bishop Will liam T. Taylor of Africa, who went as a missionary from New York; Chaplain McCabe, pr, R. E. McBladen, eX-presi- dent of the Liberian republic, and now minister from that country to the court of NSt. James; Orishatuka Faduma, an African prince, who graduated at Lon don university, and also at Yale divinity school, and a number of southern negro bishops, among them being Bishop H. M. Turner, whose enthusiasm for missionary work in Africa is we'll known. The move nent has been going on for two years and includes a school of instruction at the Cannon Theological seminary for the training of negro missionaries for Africa, the theory being that the negroes were providentially brought to America, where they have been schooled in Chris tianity- to be sent back as missionaries to their native land.

THEY WERE IN A HURRY. A Mob at Bristol Wanted Negro Hanged ... at Once.

Knoxville Tenn, Sept 11.-A special to the Journal from Bristol, Tenn. says: Fifty special policemen guarded the jail last night, where Kit" Leftwish. the negro rapist. was confined. A mob of 300 or 400 men and boys surrounded the building, and it looked for a while that they woudl take the negro out. Judge Rhea ordered the police to shoot if an outbreak was made. Today the negro was tried for the attempted rape on the little Fogarty girl, and the jury in a few moments returned with a verdict of guilty, with hanging as the penalty. Judge Rhea pronounced sentence, and fixed the time of execution October II next. IThe mob, which was still congre- gated about the court house, demanded that he be hanged at once, and would probably have made the attempt but for the speedy conveyance of the negro to the Witheville. Va, jail.
