have had to work in complete dark
ness, and several have had bad falls.
Electric lights from the Mangrove are
now available and much good is ex-
pected from them. Nearly all the pos
sible salvage has now been made from
the cabin aft. The efforts to reach the
ward and messrooms are frustrated by
some unknown obstacle. 1t is expected
to find bodies in those rooms. Two
cases of ten-inch ammunition have been
found, the one having exploded, the
other full of powder. These were found
forward. The work of securing the
bodies under the hatch has been most
difficult in the dark. but it is hoped
that the electric lights will be of great
assistance. The bodies are much mu-
tilated and some are partially burned.
Gunner Charles Morgan, of the cruis-
er New York, who is in charge of the
divers, will devote special attention to
examining the ammunition in the fore
part of the Names hull and to ascer-
tain the condition of the plates, maza-
zines and engines. He is a graduate in
gunnery and is regarded as entirely
competent, as indeed are all the divers
under his direction. He is under strict
orders not to give out anything on the
subject of his Investigations, except to

SLAIN BY A MOB.
CO1Ored Postmaster and His child
Murdered mt Lake City, =. q.

Atlanta, Ca, Feb. 23.-A special from
Columbia, S. c., to the Constitution
says: The most revolving crime ever
perpetrated by white men in South
Carolina was committed at Lake City,
Williamsburg county, at one o'clock
Tuesday morning when Postmaster
Baker, a negro, and his family were
burned out Of their home, the pcstmas-
ter and babe in arms killed, his wife
and three daughters shot and manned
for life. Baker was appointed post
master three months ago. Lake City
is "A town of 500 inhabitants and the ne
gro population in the vicinity is large.
There was a protest at Bakers appoint
ment, but it was not very vigorous
one. Three months ago as the post
master was leaving the Office at night in
company with several colored men he
was fired on from ambush, but it was
not known that the would-be assassin
was prompted by other than personal
malice. Since that Baker moved his
family into house on the outskirts Of
the town, where he also established the
post Office.
Last Tuesday night a body of men
who kept concealed behind buildings
and fences in the neigh borhood riddled
the building with shot and rifle bullets.
They shot high and no one was hurt,
but it was supposed to convey warn
ing. 1t was short time before that
Senators Tillman and McLaurin and
Congressman Horton had asked the
postmaster-general to remove Baker
because of his color and the request
had been refused. Baker did not move
his family and gave no evidence of be-
ing frightened. He felt confident of
protection from Washington.

have been given, and that the situation
is not one calling for immediate activ-
ity at Washington. A report was cir

orders for troops at all forts to be on
the alert and ready for immediate ac-
ton, but this was promptly denied by
the generals chief of staff. Nothing

reputed to be in close touch with the
junta and the leaders of the cause for
independence, says that the Cubans
are not in favor of war between the
United States and Spain. 1--WE can win

it's own interest and as the only means
left by which it can perpetuate itself

quarry was owned by w. j. Mullen, who
had warned the men not to tamper with
the charge, which consisted of three
sticks of dynamite. Hornburth, how
ever, undertook to loosen the rock, and
dropping the cartridge, proceeded to
ram it down. The explosion followed.
Over 100 tons of rock were loosened and
De Sando and De Succio were buried
beneath it and instantly killed. Horn
burth was hurled so feet in the air. He
died shortly afterwards. Several other
workmen were slightly injured.

New Bedford, Mass, Feb. 25.-An
appeal was issued Thursday by the
council of cotton mill strikers in this
city, and upon the nature of the re-
sponse, it is said, will depend whether
or not the mill hands will return to

maintain the strike. 1t sets forth that
about 400 families, comprising 1000

starving to death and unless aid is
forthcoming within short time the
strike will have ID be abandoned.

For over half century, with ever increas-

honor doubtless the more appreciat ted when
he recalled the events which gave him close
and peculiar attachment to the city OF
Philadelphia.
Though Washngton's exalted character
and the most striking acts of his brilla mt
record are too familiar to be recount ed
here where so many times they have re-
ceived eloquent and deserved eulogy vet
often as the story is retold it engages our
love and admiration and interest. We love
to recall his noble unseltishness, his heroic
purposes the power of his magnificent per-
sonality, his glorious achievements for
mankind and his stalwart and unfiinching
devotion to independence. liberty and
union. These cannot be too often told or DO
too familiarly known.
And how reVerent always was this
great man, how prompt and generous his
recognition of the guiding hand of Divine
Providence in establishing and controlling
the destinies of the colonies and the re-
public. Again and again-n his talks, in
his letters, in his state papers and formal
addresses-he reveals this side of his
character, the force of which we still feel.

Not alone upon days of thanksgiving or

enunciated and defended as their most
precious heritage.
Lessons from His Farewell Address.

che wreck of the Maine. All the re-

thought that any bodies will be identi-
fed hereafter unless by the clothing.
Aside from the effect of long submer-

all directly under the main deck, which
was blown up, and the tremendous
force of the explosion probably blotted
scores of them out of existence en-
tircly.
