ONE SENTENCED TO HANG

Selma, September 6.-(Special.)-A des- perately bold and successful attempt to break jail was made about 2:3o this after noon, by which two murderers, one sen- fenced to be hanged, and burglar, gained their freedom.
 It was at feeding time, and Jailer Aycock was standing at the foot of the stairs while boy unlocked the door to carry the food in. As the door was swung open, Charley Nelson, Alb Murphy and Jim Moorer sprang past the boy, and Nelson pulled pistol which had been smuggled in to him, and fired three shots at the jaier, who in turn fired one at the negroes, but the pistol failed to go off the next attempt.
 The three negroes then brushed past the Jailer and got out of the open front door. Posses immediately followed them and came in sight of two of them, but never got close enough to catch them.

WILL TAKE PHILIPPINES.
Spain Resigned to Surrender Islands
 For Consideration.

London, September 6.-The Vienna corre- spondent of the Times says:
 "According to the Polltiche correspondent it is believed in Paris diplomatic circles that the United States has decided to annex the Philippine archipeligo and it is suggested there that Spain is now resigned to a sur render of the islands for consideration '"
 Perhaps this must be regarded as feeler, but 1t takes the wrong view in supposing that there could be any bargaining between the United States and Spain. Much will depend upon the testimony of General Mer- ritt and the other officers who are going 10 Paris. It is believed here that Admiral Dewey will also be called to Paris and that the council of these officers will have a strong influence.
