Savannah, Ga, September 3O.-Three
weeks ago at Hahira, Ca, Shelton
Dampier, in cold blood, shot down Sam
Parker, one OF the most respected citi-
zens Of the place, because he had been
instrumental in securing the conviction
of Dampier in a theft prosecution.
Dampier has been pursued even since
with dogs, but managed to elude his
p%ursuers. Last night the sheriff of
Lowndes county received notice that
Dampier vas in the vicinity. He gath
cred a posse and surrounded the hut
where he was hidden. Dampier was
seen in the night sitting on the door
step of the hut chewing sugar cane. AS
daylight dawned he saw the members
of the posse and a fusillade began.
Dampier was shot in the shoulder be-
fore he gained cover of the log hut,
the sheriff's men to cav the cove of
the saplings. The logs of the hut
were riddled with holes and the depu-
ties had their clothing perforated sew
eral times.
Dampier finally surrendered, ours
ing the crowd for their cowardice in
remaining under cover. He was taken
to Jail in ValrOsta. He says hat he
would have gotten away entirely but
for the stringency of the quarantine
regulations in the state.

Albert Rockingham and John Daw-

STARTLING


All of the Timber Docks Of Our Navy in
Disabled Conditions, Except One
New York, September 30.-A special
meeting Of the naval dock board was
held today at the Brooklyn navy yard
to consider the reports as to the dis
abled conditions Of all, but one Of the
timber structures owned by the govern
ment. A complete examination by the
engineers has revealed the above start
ling information and the only exception
is the timber dock on Puget sound. AS
the timber docks practically do all the
work of the navy, the stone structures
being used for the smaller vessels, the
department regards the existing condi-
tions with considerable apprehension,
and it will be the duty of the dock
board to report on the subject and Sug-
gest the best way for repairing docks.
None of the members OF the board
would talk for publication today, but
it is understood that an estimate of
the cost of repairs, together with the
the work, will be forwarded immediate
ly to the department.
Engineers AVE estimated that it will
cost at least $500, 600 to put the timber
docks in condition, and the dock
board is expected to recommend that
this money be spent on the structures
at New York, League island, Norfolk
and Port Royal. There is a separate
appropriation for dock No. 3, at the
Brooklyn yard.

Form . Cabinet-Great Good for Cuba
Hoped for From This Change of Minis.
try-MinIster de LONE to Resign.
Madrid, October 2.-Senor Sagasta,
the liberal leader, has been entrusted
by the queen regent with the Isl Of
forming a new cabinet in succession to
the Azcarraga ministry which resigned
ter leaving the queen regent, had a
long conference with the Marquis Vega
de Armijo, who accepts the presidency
of the chamber. Admiral Bermejo be-
comes minister of marine, in succession
to Admiral Beranger. The financial
question is demanding the greatest at
tention and the liberals will, at the
outset Of the coming session of par
lament, frankly expose the position of
the Spanish treasury.
Washington, October 1.-The news
from Madrid to the effect that the
queen regent had invited Sagasta to
form a cabinet to succeed the Azcar-
raga cabinet was hailed with a feeling
of relief in official circles here. In the
view Of the administration, the United

nothing to lose in the liberal accession
to power. Even if the party is not
willing to go as far as the extreme
Cuban sm~ypathizers in the United
States wish, it is felt that there will be
certainly a most liberal offering Of
concessions to secur peace in Cuba.
Sagasta is said to nave stood from the
first in opposition to the policy pur-
sued by Spain for the last year. Those
familiar with affairs in Spain say that
the Sagasta view has become very pop
ular in Spain, mainly because the war
policy had served to draft most of the
young men from the interior and ex-
pose them to disease and DEATH. AS
a result of this sentiment, it is said that
an election would give Sagasta a lib
eral majority in the cortes, and thus
permit him to carry on the government
without being hampered by the con-
~versative majority of over 100 which
now exists in the cortes.
The retirement of Senior Dupuy de
LONE is probable as a result Of the
formation Of a liberal ministry and it
is believed the minister will tender his
resignation as soon as he is officially
advised Of the advent Of the Sagasta
cabinet.

Gold the Master

The German historian, DR.. Karl Pc
tiers, in a work not yet off the press,
1.-The Rise of the British Empire" DAD
vance sheets Of which ave appeared
in Germany, holds that the United
States, through a dependant none
.tary policy, has lost her former strong,
independent position among nations
and has again become a dependency of
Great Britain.
DR.. Peters writes: The total polit-
ical independence enjoyed by the Uni
ted States is, therefore, only a degree
above the freedom of ana and Aus
ltralia." Again he says: British i'm
perialism is not founded upon canon;
it rests upon money only, and ancient
Rome never exploited her possessions
in a more relentless manner than Great
Britain her possessions or the countries
subject to the influence of her capital.
Among the countries thus ruled by
English money, the United States
stands first and alone n pays tribute
annually to the amount of W hundred
and fifty million dollars, at the lowest
computation, while French statistics
place it at four hundred millions.
ITO know this mean to understand
that the stars and stripes, this boosted
banner of freedom and independence,
floats in reality over an immense de-
tendency of Great Britain. This, too,
explains why the warlike spirit of the
Americans was cooled down with such
ease when London chose to manipulate
the markets to the detriment of Amer
lea during the Venezuelan rouble."
And farther along he says: THAT
America could ever be free from this
tribute must be regarded as impossible.
Fol his could only be accomplished if
the Americans were able gradually to
purchase their bonds. This they can
not do unless they save up the neces-
sary capital. Now, as they have al
ready to pay at least two hundred and
fifty millions annuity of their surplus
earnings, it does not seem likely they
can ave AS a matter of fact, their
debts increase.
The farmers in the United States
rarely see money, and their property
is deeply mortgaged. Hence the
nous number of unemployed and
heavy emigration from America. AM
erica's troubles are caused by her bon
dage, and If we look closer we will dis
cover that Engiand's money monopoly
lis at the bottom Of hard times the world
over.

Chicago, September 3O.-There was
but one witness on the stand in the
Luetgert trial today and at the con-
clusion of the session the state an
nounced that it would in all probability
keep him on the stand for the greater
portion Of tomorrow. The witness was
DR.. w. H. Airport, the expert who testi-
fed for h defense yesterday that the
femur claimed by the state as the
femur of a woman is in reality the
femur Of a hog. The state d
ed a warm cross examination for him
today and toward the latter portion of
the afternoon session it succeeded in
confusing him and gaining from him
several contradictions of his own evil
dence. He identified the skull of a dog
as being the skull offs monkey and was
neatly trapped by the state into doing
so. The attorneys for the state have
considerable feeling against DR.. Airport
as his testimony more than once has
been to h effect that evidence was
being manufactured by the prosecu-
ton and they will leave nothing un-
done to break him down.
