The Dissenting Citizens Annihilated His Plant, Committed Slaughter Among His People and Indulged in
 Another Municipal Election.

1 Washington, Nov. 10.-A Star spe-
 cial from Wilmington, N. C., says: i Events have moved rapidly in Will
 m1ngton this morning and while the i people have made good their threats to
 take vengeance upon a negro newspa-
 per which published an editorial dls- rogatory to white women, at 7:30 o'clock the negroes not having re-
 sponded to the demand for the re-
 moval of the press of the Record, the negro newspaper, ex-Representative Waddell, chairman of the white con- mittee of twenty-five, repaired to the light infantry armory where he was to meet the. citizens by appointment Eight o'clock was the last hour of grace for the negroes to reply, and that hour passed without an answer being received.
 The citizens then waited haIt an hour for endorsements. Meantime armed men had begun to gather in the wide street in front of the armory. They carried rifles, shotguns and am intuition and the assemblage included some of the most solid citizens of the town. At 8:30 o'clock the procession headed by. ex-Representative Waddell and the committee of twenty-five moved in th5 direction Of t4.e Record printing shop. All along the line or march the procession was joined by armed ciizens and when the negro quarter was reached the negroes could be seen a few blocks away running into their houses.
 When the crowd arrived in front ot the Record, a two-story frame build ing, picket lines were thrown out across the streets and squads of men went to the squares in the neighbor- hood. Later, Waddell with a rife on his shoulder went to the door of the building and knocked, but there being no response the loor was soon burst open. Citizens surged into the place and commenced the work of destruc- tion. The furniture was smashed and thrown into the street, the floors were gutted of movables and the building was fired and destroyed!
 A latsr dispatch to the Star says: Between and 2 o'clock there were several skirmishes. The total cas- ualties at D. n. were eight negroes killed, thre wounded and three whites wounded. Special trains are being run into Wilmington from other towns with endorsements and arms. Colds boro has started 800 men. Laurins- burg started 150, and other places have offered help if needed. The light in fantry, the regular state militia or ganization, will probably take com mand of the situation here and it's Of fcers direct the patrolling and guard ing of the city. It is understood tha governor has given sanction to this plan, and if carried out it will have | saIutary effect.
 Authority is practically vested in the committee of twenty-five, who are now trying to restore order, quiet the situ- ation and hold in check the reckless element among the whites. A rapid fire machine gun on a wagon manned by a crew armed with Wfnchesters

was brought down in front of the post office, but on the advice of the leaders was halted there
 Soon after II o'clock word was brought that achievements were needed in the negro section Of Brook 1yn, and men were sent Twenty min-
 stes later news came that there had been a collision between the whites and blacks and that blood had been shed As result of the trouble at Brooklyn it is believed that the number of ne- SroeS killed will number four A white man amed Mayo was shot in the stomach and has since died. Another white man was hurt. The situation is quiet at the scene of the trouble now The negroes have gone into their houses. Squads of men are now halt ing all the negroes on the streets and taking their pistols from them wher- ever found.
 A NEW GOVERNMENT.
 Wilmington. N. C., Nov. 10.-After a day of bloodshed and turbulence Wilmington has subsided tonight into comparative peacefulness. Eight ne groes were killed and three white men wounded during the day, one of them, William Mayo, seriously To- night the city is in the hands Of new municipal government, and law and order is being established.
 This afternoon the board of alder men resigned one by one As each alderman vacated the remaining mem bers elected 8 successor named by the citizens committee, until the entire board was changed legally. They re- signed in response to public senti- ment. The new board is composed of conservative democratic citizens. The mayor and chief ot police then re- signed and the new board elected their successors according to law. Ex- representative Waddell was elected mayor, and E. G. Parmelee chief of police
 The first act of the new government was to swear in 250 special policemen chosen frCCn the ranks of reputable white citizens. They are vested with all the authority of law and will take charge Of the city. The citizens com mittee will remain on guard through out the town to prevent attempts at ircendiarism. The new government will devote it's attention to restraining among the whites as well as keeping down lawlessness among the negroes. Further trouble of a gen eral or serious nature IS not expected.
 A special train arrived this after noon with the independent light in fantry and also 800 armed citizens from 
 4 crowd was formed tonight to take from the jail and lynch two negroes, homas Miller and Ira Bryant, who were arrested today charged with making threats, and were regarded as dangerous characters. The mayor, Col. Waddell, promptly prohibited the assem bling of the crowd at the jail and he himself headed a guard of twenty-five msn with Winchesters to guard the prisoners.

BRITISH PRESS COMMENTS.
All Difficulties Not Solved-The Real
 Conflict Over Bahr-el-Ghazal.

London, Noy. 10.-Tho Standard ex- presses profound and unailoyad satis- faction that the cause of the quarrel with France has been removed by the withdrawal of the Marchand expedi- tion from Fashcda, but, it says, it re- mains to be saen how far France has thereby resigned her claims to other parts of Egyptian territory, which are equally inadmissibla. It notes that Lard Salisbury's words do net eoysr the whcle ground
 The Morning Post wglcc1ns ss the withdrawal as an indication that good relations between France and Great Britain are in nowise impo.si ibls, but at the sams time it says that Lord Salisbury's guarded words disclosed the fact that the difficulties had not been solved The government will need, for some time to come, the un- compromising support Of the nation.
 The Daily News congratulatcs the French government on it's good sense. It declares that it would be a mistake to suppose that the settlemsnt of the Fashoda question involves the sattle- ment of other questions in the same regions. It hopes that hereafter there will be more c0mplste success fin ths cause of international good will
 Tho Daily Mail says: Lord Sails bury may congratulate himself on the greatest victcry British diplomacy has achieved in twenty years, but the real diplomatic conflict will be ovsr the Bahr-el- Ghazal. Lord Sllisbury's sl- fence On tho topic is eloquent, espec- ially in conjunction with his warning that all causes of controversy have not been removed"
 The Daily Graphic says that it must be impressed upon Francs that Great Britain does net abandon the Bahr-al- G,hazal. The resolution Of Great Britain not to allow it to be seized by any foreign power is irrevocable.
 The Chronicle expresses tfe hope that Francs, having gona so far, will for her own interests, go a little fur thar and amicably settle ether matters in contTovers sy not cnly in China, Newfoundland and Siam.
 The Times, while welcoming the evacuation of F'3shcda, contends that that place throughout the whole con- troversy stood fer the Egyptian Sou dan as a whcle. It says: Our naval never meant that we wers ready tC go to war for 2! few acres Of swamp at Fashoda, apart from their symbolic 1presentat,ve significance. The control Of the Nile valley and the possession by Egypt Of the provinces that were temporarily overrun by the are the real cbj5ct of cur en- deaycr. We cannot Cn any account consent to yield to diplomacy any DOT tion of these rightful claims. in de- fence of which we have been ready to go to war. Within that region indicated tnefkssean be no qu-slt0lI of compensation or ccnccgsion. The

CUBANS THREATEN TROUBLE
According to Spanish Advises They
 Will Obstruct Our Occupation.

Havana, Nov 10.-Sensational re- ports have been received from Gibara by the Spanish authorities. According to these reports the Spanish troops, when they left Gibara three days ago, marched out with military honors, es- cCrted by American soldiers. The als Luque and Mario, and as they Espana." The Cubans answered with cries Of Long live Spain."
 One Cuban chief who witnessed the evacuation is reported to have said: We have lost our mother, but a step bering 4,0G0 well armed men, with tsrior, where they intrenched them selves.
 According to the Spanish advices a conflict will occur when the Americans enter the town, which had been occu- ture by General CaliXto Garcia, shortly after the fall of Santiago. The Span iards say that the Cubans established a civil government there and kept good order under their flag until the Ameri- cans came. Then Quarrels began, and some American soldiers tore the Cuban lag down and trampled on it. The American military commander dis missed the Cuban municipal officers and took charge Of affairs himself.
 There is no Ielegraphic communica- tion between Havana and Gibara, and it is impossible 10 verify the report. In Spanish official circles the report is

CONDUCT OF THE WHR.
Adiusanf General Corbin's Report of
 Operations of Army Nearly Ready.

Washington, Nov. 10.-One of the mcss important annual reports of the war department is that Of Adjutant- General Corbin, and contains much in formation in regard to the work of or ganizing the army and the conduct of the late war. General Corbin's report, 1t is estimated, contains ovsr twenty five thousand words. l. tells of the op- eratipns of the army during the last year, the organization and disposition of the volunteer troops under the or der Of April, and shows the disposition of every man, company and regiment under that call.
 The report gives a full account of the present army, the location Of the diff ferent regiments and their condition Adjutant-G eneral Corbin does not make many recommendations, nor does he recommend anything in regard to the increase of the regular army. He asks that his office be given at least one month after congress meets before it is required to make any r6commen- dations in this regard.
 The reason for this is evident, for un- til the peace commission decides the question Of the Philippines, it is useless to recommend anything in regard to the increase of the army. IT the en- tire group Of Philippines is held by the United States, it will require an addi- tional thirty thousand men to garrison them. These, with the soldiers pro- vided for Cuba, Porto Rico and Hawaii will have to be taken into consider ation in the estimate.
 The officers of the war department,
 fI1 . I0 opinion that the present regulations in regard to the army are the best, and that with 106 men to a company, and twelve companies to regiment, there is no need for a reorganization of the army, but only a knowledge Of how many regiments will be required af- ter the peace commissioners at Paris have completed their work, and to in crease the army just that number.

Buchan, and Mrs. Schliemann, wife oE Capt. Schliemann, who. are designated as "stowaways." As the Doric sailed only two days after the Indiana, and is a much swffter boat, she will pro- bably cvertake the Indiana and carry out her orders.

 On this transport, besides the two women named as stcwaways, were the wives Of Major Whitman and Li2ut. g. They received p3rm's sion to go through Adjt.-GenI Cc1bin. When the vessel called from here the chaplain claimed his wife, and Ms. Buchan had a permit from G3nl. Mer- riam. As even Red >Crcss women nurses were forbidden to go on the the fact that tthesa four women sailed, caused muchs comment.
