Race War in Louisiana.

New Orleans. March 28.-St. Landry
parish, in the western part of Louisiana,
is almost in a state of war;
A dispatch to the Daily Statesfrom
Opelousas, La, says:
Last evening as party of workmen
from Arnaudville were passing on the
public road near the house OF Julien
Sicily, colored man, in the neighbor-
hood of Port Barr, five of them turned
aside and called him out to have a talk
with him. He had used some threaten
ing language to the effect that he intend
ed to register and vote If he died In the
attempt, but subsequently seeing that it
would be against the unanimous wishes
of the white people of that section, he
had sent message by another colored
man to DIR. G. w. Martin, the leader of
the white supremacy movement of that
neighborhood, apologizing for his words
and promising to take no part in politics
in the future. The purpose in calling at
his house last night was to assure him
that his apologies and promises had been
accepted and that he might feel secure.
He refused to open his door or parley
with the men, saying that If DR.. Martin
would come that he would come out and
talk with him. DR.. Martin then came
and called to him to come out and talk
with him, but instead of doing SO he
opened side window and instantly shot
dead Alcees Boutte, resident of Grand
Coteau and an excellent citizen and
young man of 10 years of age. The men
on the outside thereup0n forced into the
house killing Sicily and probably one
other negro. This is DR.. Martins state-
ment of the occurrence. He is a leading
physician of that section and gentle
man of the highest standing.
The sheriff's office is just in receipt of
n dispatch stating that Atanas Fontenet,
a white man, was killed last night in
the eastern portion Of the parish as a
result of Pharrs advice to arm.

ASSOCIATED BANK STATEMENT.
The Money Market Is Normal and Gold Ex-
ports Are Looked For.

The Money Market Is N Normal ana dolu Elk
ports Are Looked For.
New York. March 2S.-The Financier
says this week:
The statement OF the associated banks
of New York city for the week ending
March 2S is in marked contrast with
those made since the award of govern
ment bonds, the loan item decreasing for
the first time in seven weeks. Loans,
however, are still nearly 500, 100000 in ex-
cess of the low record of February last
1t is somewhat difficult to trace the
cause of the falling off of last week, ex
cept on the theory that stock exchange
business was exceptionally dull and that
some of the banks whose reserves have
fallen too low are calling in their loans.
When it is stated that twelve banks hold
$50, ,0O0, 900 of the cash reported by the
sixty-six clearing institutions, and that
half the former number hold two-thirds
of the surplus reserve, some idea of the
distribution of cash may be obtained.
1t is this fact that has forced number of
banks out of the loan market almost en-
tirely. The banks are still losing cash,
according to the report, the decrease for
the week being $2355, 300. There was also
reduction of $5,S42,600 in deposits. The
statement reflects perhaps the final pay
ments last week into the subtreasury
by the government depository banks.
This, 1t Is said. has been continued dur
ing the week. 1t was stated last week
that a call might be expected from the
treasury for second payment by the
depository banks into the subtreasury,
but the week closed without this incident.
The April settlement, beginning now, will
probably withdraw from the market a
large amount of money, which has been
offered on call, and If rates are still at a
figure which will force gold out of the
treasury, which, for the first time in
months, controls the situation could
harden the rate temporarily by requiring
the transfers from the depository banks.
The movement of money is now toward
New York, and everything seems to fa-
vor an early resumption of gold exports.
1t is doubtful. however, whether the
treasury would resort to the expedient
of forcing rates to a point where these
exports might be prevented, even If only
temporarily. The money market Is, in a
way, more normal than for a long time
past, and the exports of gold will not at
tract as much attention as they did last
winter
The averages show the following COM
pared with the last two years:

Matables Defeatad.

Cape Town, March ga force of Brit
ish troops, under command of Captain
Spreckeys, defeated large body of Mat
abeles on Thursday, killing large num-
Der of them. The British force lost no
men.
A dispatch from Buluwayo, under yes
terday's date,s represents the situation
as being of the .gravest character. A
thousand women and children are con-
centrated in the Lager at Buluwayo.
The Matabeles burned a store forty miles
out from Buluwayo Thursday and per-
formed a dance around the flames. Many
murders of whites of the most fiendish
character are reported. Cecil Rhodes is
expected to arrive at Salisbury Sunday.
1t is learned that the native police in
duced the Matabeles to revolt and join
them with 750 rifles and large quantity
of ammunition.
F. c. Selous, African explorer, who
started from Buluwayo at the head of
force of men to put down the revolt of
the Matabeles, has had an engagement
with the enemy, many of whom were
killed More murders of the whites by
the Matabeles are reported. Transport
riders are abandoning their wagons and
hurrying into the towns for safety The
rebellious Matabeles have raided almost
every estate in the disturbed district and

Commander walker Condemned.

Atlanta, March 28.--The Georgia de-
partment of the Grand Army of the Re-
public met here today. Commander l..
B. Nelson addressed the encampment
and condemned Grand Commander
Walker for issuing the order forbidding
the blue and gray parade In New York.
Commander Nelson said that the most
cordial relations exists between the vet
Grams. of the two armies here in the
south. They and their SOILS and daugh-
ters have intermarried, and there is no
reason why these men should not parade
together IL they wish to do SO.

boy of Shiloh" was elected department

would fight with the Beers in the event
of hostiites with the British.
Inquiries made at the war office as to
the strength of the British troops within
range of the revolt only resulted in MAX
ing evident the official confusion on the
subject. Two companies of the Black
Watch regiment are stationed at Mafek-
ing, on the Transvaal border, and these
are the only troops who are known with
certainty to be in Rhodes.a. The war
office hopes that Sir Hercules Robinson,
governor of Cape Colony and high COM
missioner in South Africa, has strength
ei.vd the troops in Rhodesia recently, but
there are no official advices to that effect
The truth Seems to be that Governor
Robinson has not sent troops into that
country.
Today's advices confirm the Importance
of the Dutch agitation for the independ-
enee of South Africa.
A letter received here from a member
of the Cape parliament says that the
English and Dutch political leaders con-
cur in the bslief- that the situation was
never so threatening. The heads of the
movement are first amply providing for
their own security against British at
tack. Many new comers who are seen
in Pretoria are known to be German sol
diers. They look to be ready to jostle the
English off the sidewalks. Every steamer
calling at Cape Town, Durham and Port
prospectors, who are unable to conceal
the stamp of the disciplined soldier, who
is still under military command Besides
the Germans, the Beers are recruiting a
foreign legion. The letter concludes with
the statement that everybody knows
that there is war ahead andthat plenty or
British and Dutch blood win be spilled
ere the summers grapes ripen.
Negotiations for a new Spanish loan
have been reopened in Paris and London.
1t is reported that the Spanish govern
ment is desirous of placing loan or
f40,000,000 sterling, given as security
lien of the tobacco monopoly. 1t Is clear
that Spain is preparing to carry on the
war in Cuba after August as 1t has been
announced that the new cortes will be
asked to authorize a loan for the purpose.
Since the outbreak of the rebels in Feb
ruary, 1895, the Spanish government has
obtained from the Bank of Spain, the
Bank de Paris ell Du Pays and the Span
ish bank of Havana successive advances
on Cuban per cent bonds of 1890. Be
fore the end of August the rebellion will
have cost Spain f16.500000. At present
the minister of the colonies holds only
f3, 100000 to keep the war going until Au-
gust whereas 1t is estimated that 1t will
require 100000 monthly.
Sir Hercules Robinson, governor of
Cape colony, has telegraphed the colonial
office that the reports of the murder of
Police Inspector Jackson and the de-
sertion of the native police to the Mata-
bells is confirmed. The native police took
their Martini rifles with them. The dis
patch says that Mabele, son of the late
Matebele king, Loebingua, who was ban
ished in 1885, has returned to Matabele,
and that it was he who melted the upris-
ing.

Beware
OF the Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshheld, Mo-,
writes: "For six years have been a
sufferer from scrofulous affection OF
the glands OF my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, ID. G.,
Springfield, H., and ST. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After SIX
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to re-
Inoval of the gland. Atthis critical mo-
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside deep-rooted preJu-
dice against all patent medicines, be-
gan its use. Before I had used one bot
lie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had / only used your SIS. long ago,
/ would have escaped years of misery
and saved over $I5o."
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. S.S.S. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root of
the disease and forces it out perna-
nently.
