SLAYS A MAN
 WHILE ON A DRUNK.
Rosser ReaIizss What He Has Done and Says He Knew Nothing
 of the Affair.

San Francisco, Sept 15.-- When Walter Rosser. the Tennessee volunteer, who murdered Henry Hildebrand, clerk at the spreckels market during a drunken spree, was booked at the city prison he began to sober up, He hand- ed in lady's gold watch and $65 in coin and asked that the valuables be cared for. Then he wept He said he realized the deep disgrace, but claimed not to reeollect anything about the shooting

My knowledge Of medicine gained me position of stewart of company E, which position I still hold. 1 Ihayo telegraphed my father and expect him to come to this city at once"
 Eyewitnesses to the affair state that Rosser fired the fatal shot without prov. ocation. He fought against arrest and almost succeeded ill escaping ill the ex-. citement, having slipped one hand through the steel handcuffs while wait ing for the patrol wagon. He is said to have pushed the dead body of his victim with the toe of his shoe.
 The murder has caused General Mil Ter and Colonel Smith to send out guards and arrest the drunken soldiers The appearance of armed guards in the prom inent streets caused considerable excite ment.
 Albert s. Emmett, private of the Twentieth Kansas regiment, resisted the attempt of the provost guard to take him from saloon and struck the cap- tain of the guard blow which knocked him down. Emmett was arrested.
 A private from a Tennessee regiment, who gave his name James Johnson, was arrested for discharging aIpistol.
 Corporal Conley, of the Seventh Cali. fornia, iabbed a bayonet into the hands of Washington soldier for attempting to prevent arrest. There were several other encounters, but no one was ser iously hurt.

l am a little surprised that any public paper, (be they ever so bitter) should neglect to correct a wrong, when the proof is before them. This letter was sent to the above named paper three or four days before their last issue, giving them ample time to investigate and do the only proper thing, butno, I am compelled to pursue this course to inform the public of this wrong accusation.

ADMIRAL DEWEY HAS
 ASKED FOR NO AID.
omeiais at Washington Deny That He Has Even Intimated That He
 Wanted Moro warships.

Washington, Sept, 15-Despite the repeated denials of both the army and navy departments, many papers con- tinue to publish dispatches from this city stating that Admiral Dewey is ask ing for help, and thas the administra- tion will send to his assistance immedi- ately two battleships. These reports are beginning 10 annoy the department officials as well as the president. There Is no truth in them, according to As sistant Secretaries Allen and Meikel- john.
 Admiral Dewey has not asked for any aid at all at any time. He has, on the other hand, repeatedly assured the navy department that there is no trouble to be feared in the Philippines, and that he and General Otis are quite able to take care of any questions that may arise. Assistant Secretary Allen said that there is absolutely no truth in the report that the department is contemplating send ing battleships or any ships at all to the Philippines to aid the Admiral
 "This department" he said, "has re- ceived but one dispatch from Admiral Dewey for several days. That dispatch gave us the startling information that Dewey could buy jerked beef in Manila, and could thus save the trouble and ex. pense of trip to Australia for the pur- pose of getting some of this food supply for his men. think that if he was ex- pecting trouble he would have said something about it; and we are conf- dent that the admiral will communicate with his own country and with. the navy department rather than the casual news paper correspondents in Manila when. ever he gets into trouble and needs help from this government. The entire story is absolutely false.
 In connection with this story there became current today another to the effect that tho Germans were lingering about tho vicinity of Manila and that Prince Heinrich and Admiral Diedrich have not withdrawn their ships, but are near by waiting orders from the kaiser as to the Philippines or as much of the archipelago as the iron fist can grasp. It Is also reported that Dewy had ad- vised this government that he expects trouble from the Germans, and has ap- pealed for assistance. This, too, is strenuously denied by both the war and navy departments, and the state depart ment has received no query at all from the hero of Manila. It communicates with him through either the navy or war department.
 The story originated here and the navy officials have grown tired denying it daily for morning and afternoon pa- pers. One reason for the confidence felt by the war department officials in Q peaoeable solution of the difficulties is their Knowledge of the peculiar fitness of General Otis, the American military commander for the discharge of just such duties-diplomatic and military as now confront him. The officials are confident that if by discretion and judg- ment clash with the insurgents can be avoided without losing any of our ad. vantage, General Otis may be safely Trusted to exhibit these qualities.

Spanish Must Evacuate the West In- dies In Thirty Days and Nothing
 Taken Except Small Arms.
MUST GIVE UP THE
 ISLAND OF LUZON.
Church and State In tie Philippines Must Be Separated and None Of the Islands Sold Without
 Amcrica's Consent.

Washington. Sept. 15.- Conclusions were arrived at Tuesday after two ses- sions of the cabinet, as to tho instruc- tions to be given the commissioners who are to negotiate the terms of the treaty of peace at Paris.
 The instructions definitely advise tho American commissioners under no cir cumstances to commit the United States toward the assumption of either the Cuban or Porot Riean debts. The instructions go into details as to the movable property that Spain may be permitted to take from the islands, conflning it practically to the portable arms of her soldiers.
 No allowance will be made for the claim that Spain is expected to make for the railroads, government buildings, public highways and other improve ments upon which Spain has expended money in Cuba and Porto Rico.
 Spain will be given one month in which to prepare for the final withdraw al of sovereignty in the West Indies, and by that time the Washington ad- ministration will be ready to put troops i'll the islands and assume control.
 Luzon island, upon which Manila is situated, will be asked for by Spain. Church and state in the Philippines must be separated and Spain shall not dispose of any of the islands of the Phi iippines to any country without the consent of the United States

"An Outrage Upon Decency.o :


 ''An Outrage Upon Decency." Before leavinh the city Sunday morning, Mir. w. B. Sanders. leader Of the Little Rock band engaged to discourse music at the Democratic mass meeting Saturday night, in- formed Mir. H. F. Westbrook. who employed them, that he was an- preached by Bell man, Lou Owen. and asked If $100 dollars would be any inducement for him to throw up his contract and play at the Bell meetings Mir. Sanders replied that It would net, as he would not break contract for any amount of money. How does this sound for a hybrid political party whose represent are pratting about fairness and hon. esty in politics, and who profess to be the eustodians of all the personal honor and political purity and up- rightness in the county? Is it possi. bic that the refusal of Mir. Sanders to corrupt himself and his musical associates for afew paltry dollars led to the seeming attempt of the Bell ites to mob these gentlemen on one of the principal streets of our city few hours after the insulting prop osition had been rejected? How else can Mayor Bell and his followers account for the outrageous treat ment Of strangers who were in the city in pursuit of their honest calling and who were offered no protection from the ruffianism of mob that was organized in the Intolerance of the 1ndependent-Republican candi- dacy for Sheriff of Mayor D. c. Bell?''

Manila, Sept. l5.--The American bark Abbey, with cargo of arms and ammunition from the United States, which left Canton astensibly for Singa- pore under heavy bonds 10 days ago, has now, it is safd, landed 5000 Krag- Jor- gensen rifles and cartridges in Batagas province for the insurgents.

HAYWOOD, Ark, September IA. Editor Graphic:
 1t has heretofore been law, eus- tom or by some other means under stood that a man could aspire to but one office at one time, but cus- tom. especially in Richland town. ship, has changed. During the recent election held on September 5, 1898, the McCoyites, in order to obtain the negro vote in the above township, promised q 'tcolored brother of this vicinity the office of justice of the peace, who at the same time was making the race for constable, and whose son on the day of election served as clerk. By hard work ,plen- ty of money and an abundance of good campaign liquor, the efforts of the said parties were rewarded by majority of 100 votes for Mccoy and the election of the aforesaid 'colored brother'' both to the Justice or the Peace and Constable, while the non- inee, a well respected, old, tried and true democrat was forced to step down aud out '
 Now, the question is. in what capacity shall the "colored brother act, as justice of the peace or con stable? Or, shall, his son being clerk and he aspiring for two offices at the same time, be considered Illegal and neeessitate an appoint ment?
 Alasl When l allow my mind to wander back and note the proceed ings Of the last few elections, it re- minds me of the passage of scripture wherein the following words were uttered: Behold, what distress we are all in.
 Right unknown,
 And freedom fiown.'' There are means to "cheat" that re- fleets some credit on the guilty parties for their shrewdness, but not so in this instance. With the present ballot system, the road is so broad and the way SO plain that leads to dirt that any one, though he be fool" can see..through it, and, therefore, no credit is reflected on the manipulators.
 On the occasion stated above, 8 'sheeney", from Pine Bluff, who was also 8 Mccoy ite, was won't to perch himself in a buggy, loaded with good whisky and Mccoy money, near the polls at Linwood for the purpose controlling coloredvotes, whereupon the citizens being tired Of so much lawless "dirt' being performed be fore their eyes in broad day light, proceeded to warn the said gentle man of what might be the result of his bad conduct, and quietly advised him of the nearest route home and the time to start.
 The "sheeney' seeing that the atmosphere round about was not exactly favorable made break" for the nearest store and begged pro- lection at the hands of the merchant. who in turn gave him the consola- ton that if anything of the kind did occur, he would be instrumental in passing him as far cover the road az anybody. The last we saw ofthe ''sheeney" he was under the protect ing care of the renowned "Whiskers' Brownfield and headed toward Noble Lake.
 We hope the above will serve as q lesson for all such characters as feel disposed to turk around the polls in Richland. BUG.
