THE NAVAL MILITIA.
A WeII.Organized Body Of Men Calcu'
lated to Be Of Service Along the
Inner Coast Defenses.

Washington. July 29.-The report OF
the officiers detailed to attend the en-
campment of the Pennsylvania naval
militia shows that the body Is well or
ganized. The craftsmanship during
the practice was remarkably good.
The commanding officers have fitted
themselves admirably for their duties.
The discipline was excellent.
In discussing the probable field or
effectiveness in time OF war. the boaro
are of the opinion that the militia
would find no place on regular man
of war on the open sea. or In the outer
line of coast defense, but would be or
incalculable benefit in the inner de-
fenses. The report concludes: Having
briefly outlined our ideas in regard TO
the probable sphere Of usefulness II
the naval militia in time of war, we
can summarize them as follows:
Boats, signals, rapid fire and machine
guns, torpedoes and study OF local wat
ors and land approaches. And that
these studies and drills may be in
telligently and efficiently carried on.
we strongly believe that the militia
should be furnished with plenty of
boats of various designs, signals of all
kinds and a sufficient number of guns
and torpedoes to enable all the MEM
bers of the militia to become thorough
ly familiar with the work which may
be assigned to them. We are led to the
belief with the understanding that the
militia would be utilized in the way
outlined and knowledge of fact, that
at present, many Of the officers in their
zeal and earnestness have been maxi
ing appropriations from their private
funds to properly carry on the work as
now performed, and that if greater
knowledge be expected a still greater
drain would follow"

SIX KILLED AND EIGHT WOUNDED.
Shooting ARRAY Turns II Negro Dance
Into n Scene of Carnage.

Jasper, Fla. july 29.-A terrible bat
tie between whites and negroes oc-
CURED Saturday night at Haggarda
turpentine still, fifteen miles northeast
Cf this place Six men were killed out
right and eight were wounded, some
Of whom will die. Three of the men
killed are white and three colored. All
of the wounded are negroes. Those
killed are Henry Jackson. Albert Sui
Ivan and Edward Johnson, white, and
james Solomon, Amos Campbell and
Isaac Mitchell, all negroes. The names
OF tn. wounded have not been learned,
but IL is said two OF them are women.
There are many negroes employed at
Haggard's turpentine still, and nearly
every Saturday night they engage in
what they call a festival" at which
mcny watermelons and much whisky
are consumed, and dancing is kept up
!or hours. Saturday night the usual
'fesfva" was in progress when a doz-
en- white men appeared and began t.
take part in the proceedings. The
whites were drinking and soon make
themselves obnoxious to the negroes
my WIN tHt udItlIS,
to take the partners of the negro men
eway from them, and then began to
trip the dancers.
This was kept up for some time, the
negroes continually warning the whites
to desist. Isaac Solomon was especial
ly threatening in his warnings, and ne
told the whites that when they tripped
him there would he trouble The very
next time he and his partner came by
IN the dance they were tripped Sol
onion arose from the floor, pistol in
hand. and opened fire, shooting Jack
son through the heart. The white men
drew revolvers, as did the other ne.
rroes. and the firing became general.
The lights were quickly shot out, bu.
the men continued to fire in the dark.
The white men were better armed than
the negroes, and as soon as the latter
had exhausted their weapons they fed.
News of the tragedy did not reach here
until yesterday afternoon. A posse OF
fifty white men left for the scene, and
1t wase reported that the negroes had
armed themselves and were returning
to exterminate the whites.
