This is the tragic denouement or the assassination of John T. Orr, wealthy merchant, at Clarendon few nights ago. The wife died from a dose of poison, self administered, whele the negroes, her associates in crime, were strung up by mob of citizens
 The report of the lynchlng was re- ceived here at an early hour this morn ing after telegraphic communication had been suspended for the night, ana the only authentic details of the affair came from the railroad operator at Clarendon, who saw the lynching. Four bodies, two women and two men, are hanging from the limb of tree not far from his office, and few paces away dangIes the body of another negro wo- man, the former cook in the Orr house hold. Miss Morris. the Jewess inpli- cated in the assassination, was not hanged, she having disappeared last night
 The lynched are: Manse Castle, Den his Ricord, Rilla Weaver, Susie Jacobs and Will Saunders.
 Late Saturday night John T. Orr was assassinated while making glass of lemonade He had just returned from choir practice, where his wife was organist The crime was shrouded in mystery until Miss Morris told some body that she knew who fired the shot,
 The Coroner's inquest resulted in the arrest of the five negroes and Mrs. Orr, and a warrant for Miss Morris. It was charged that the wife had hired the ne- groes to do the murder. Orr's life was insured for $5000. and it developed at the inquest that Orr and his wife lived unhappily. MT. Orr was formerly a theatrical man. In 1890 the couple eloped to a summer resort in Wiscon- sin, and were married. Later they set- tied in Clarendon, where Orr prospered in business and was considered wealthy at the time of his death.

SPAIN WILL INSIST
 UPON AN ARMISTICE

BAYONNE, France, Aug. 9.-Dis- patches received here from Madrid, dated yesterday, announce that the form of the Spanish Governments ac- ceptance of the American peace condi tiols involves the publication of an armistice. This, it is added, must be agreed to by the United States, and if the United States insists upon the inn mediate evacuation of Cuba and Porto Rico the Cortes will be convoked with in fifteen days.
 Continuing, the Madrid dispatches say: 'The most rigorous military cen sorship is exercised to-day. The news papers are not allowed to refer to the plot against Senor Sagastas life, nor to the appearance Of revolutionary bands in the Castilian province. Con- corning the plot, it is said the conspira- tors have drawn lots to decide which of them shall carry out its purpose, and that the task has fallen upon an Amer ican named Disball, who has suffered imprisonment in the fortress of Mont juich for participation in one of the Barcelona anarchist outrages, and whose sentence was recently commuted by the Supreme Court to expulsion from Castle. The band consists of twenty men. According to some ac- counts they are Republicans, and oth CTS say they are Carlists. Their first move was to attack a customs post and capture all the arms. Next they cut all the telegraph and telephone wires.

ed Governor, as well as to another re- port that United States Minister liar old M Sewall was to be named for the place, reference was made to the an- nexation act passed by the last Con- gresS, which in one clause provides that until Congress shall provide for the government of such islands all the civil, judicial and military powers ex- ercised by Ae officers of the existing Government in said islands shall be vested in such person or persons and shall be exercised In such manner as the President of the United States shall direct, and the President shall have power to remove said officers and to fill the vacancies so occasioned.
 It is said at the State Department that, acting within the spirit of this section, the President will continue in office the present officials of the Ha- waiian Government, regarding 1t as a needless disturbance of governmental functions there to make any changes in offices until Congress has provided for a permanent form of government for the islands.

EMBARkATION OF
 THE SICK SPANIARDS

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Aug. 9.-The auxiliary cruiser St. Louis arrived here this morning, but owing to her great length she was unable to enter the har- bor. The Ninth and Tenth Infantry will be lightered out to her tomorrow morning and she will leave in the af- ternoon with both regiments
 The shipment of troops, American and Spanish, is being pushed with the greatest activity. The authorization of the sick Spaniards on the Alicante was a most pitiful sight. They were brought from the hospitals on stretchers, in wagons and upon the backs of their comrades. often scarcely stronger than the sick men they bore. The docks were lined with officers and soldiers, who supported or carried their wives and daughters. The American wagons and ambulances brought carloads of

HOW MUCH VALUABLE
 TIME MAY BE SAVED

LONDON, Aug. 10.-The Madrid cor respondent of the Times says: There is no longer any doubt that the Amer ican proposals have only been accepted at referendum. There was some differ ence of opinion, but a majority of the Cabinet decided that the Government would be exceeding its powers if it con- sented unreservedly to a cession of ter ritory, and that therefore 1t would be better to state this fact clearly and thus avoid any possible misunderstand- ing with the United States.
 The decision now rests with President Mckinley. If he is willing to negotiate on this conditional basis much valuable time will be saved, but if ne insists upon the consent of the Cortes consid- erable delay will be inevitable. The ul- timate sanction of the Cortes is certain, but the debates might be protracted, since the procedure of the spanish Parliament does not provide for clos uring of fractious obstruction.
 The note of the United States, it is said, suggests that, in any case, the ncn-consent of the Cortes need not pre- vent a suspension of hostilfties. It is to be hoped that Washington will take this view and thus avoid bloodshed, as there is no doubt that the garrison at San Juan de Porto Rico will resist as obstinately as did the garrison at San tiago de Cuba

SPAIN ACCEPTS
 ALL OUR TERMS

Spanish interests there, is said to take the view, either expressed or implied, that the United States should admin ister the affairs of the island. AS to the time of evacuating Cuba, this is a de- tail which the Spanish reply is said to regard as among many which can be left to the commission for final deter imitation.
 The American conditions as to Porto Rico. the Ladrones, Manila, etc, are believed to be accepted, but the topics are treated at some length and 1t will require the full text to show how far the language used may be construed as an acceptance
 The provision as to the commission is asSented to. The commission Is to consist of five commissioners on each side, with Paris as the probable meet ing place.
 The outcome of the conference is un- known, but the best opinion obtainabie Is that the matter is still open, that Ambassador Cambon will report 10 Spain the results of his efforts and the desires of this Government and that another reply from Spain as to some details will be necessary to final con- clusion.
 There were just four parties to the conference, President Mckinley and Secretary Day on this side and M Cambon, the French Ambassador. and his first secretary of legation, M. Thie- bault, presenting the case of Spain.

AMERICAN SHIPS
 PRAISED ABROAD
Irving M. Scott on His
 Russian Mission.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.

BERLIN, Aug. 1.-Irving M. Scott, who is here with his son, Laurence Irving Scott, Cornell student, and ac- companied by his physician, Dr. George ChiSmore was seen at the kaiSerhOn by correspondent of the Associated Press and expressed himself fully as to his trip to Russia, undertaken in be- half of the Union Iron Works of San Francisco.
 Mir Scott, who is the builder of the battleship Oregon, of Admiral Dewey s flagship the Olympia, and of the Charleston, and who showed the cor respondent letters of congratulation re- ceived from Admiral Dewey, Captain Chadwick of the New York and others on the splendid fighting and speed qualities of his vessels, went to Rus sia where he stayed a month, for Sev- eral purposes. The main one was to ascertain on the spot the chances America, and more particularly San Francisco. will have in supplying the region around the mouth of the Amoor River, including Vladivostok and also Port Arthur, with all sorts of river craft, deep sea going vessels, ship building material, railroad material, etc MT. Scott spent part of his time In St. Petersburg and the rest at Moscow, the manufacturing center of RUSSIA, anu I1leiQc ct tuOiouSl llfCStl- gation of the situation. He said:
 1T found that vast and progressive region which is beginning to be known as East Russia along the Pacific, and for which San Francisco is the nearest point of supply, rapidly developing, and I also found that the Russian manu- lecturers are alive to this fact and that Russian local industry Is remarkably progressive. l was everywhere re- ceived splendidly in Russia and found no prejudice against America or Amer ican manufa cturerS. But 1 did find a strong tendency on the part of the Russians to manufacture their own supplies, and a vigorous encourage ment on the part of the Russian Gov ernment to aid in this respect. How ever Americans will have as good a chance as anybody in supplying Rus sia with those manufactures and sup plies which they cannot supply them selves as we'll or as cheaply. Russia will build her own ships, as far as she can, and will purchase, besides, vessels ready made from other nations. She has five large warships now building in St Petersburg. There will be, though, a chance for American manufacturers to supply certain articles"
 About the contracts concluded and prepared by Mr. Scott, as the represen- tative of the Union Iron Works, he re- fused to speak.
 '.As for American ships,' he added, 'I can say that in their performance they now stand at the very front, and the capacity of the United States for building ships ranks second. The war ship of the future, so far as evolutions go. will be a battleship of cruiser speed, fully protected, with heavy guns and large coal capacity, and also heavy armor. All these features combined are possible in a warship, and they will be combined better than heretofore" !"
 MT Scott will spend only few days more in Germany, and will then go OF a brief business engagement to Eng land, whence he will sail for New York.

MANY CONJECTURES AT
 THE NATIONAL CAPITAL

WASHINGTON, Aug 9.-More than twenty-four hours after it had begun to reach Washington the Spanish note in answer to the Presidents peace con- ditions was presented at the White House by the French Ambassador. What the nature of the answer was can only be conjectured at this stage, the Secretary of State at the conclu- sion of the conference making the for nal statement that nothing whatever could be said on the subject. The con- ference lasted an hour and twenty-five minutes. This prolonged discussion was believed to indicate that the Spanish answer was not satisfactory in all re- spects, though in just what points it fell short of meeting the expectations of the President it Is impossible to say It was felt by observers that had the answer been q complete acceptance of our terms the result would have been made public. On the oGer hand II would be a strained inference to con- olude that the answer was unsatls- factory entirely, for In that case, ac- cording to the President s statement heretofore made, his offer would have been definitely withdrawn and the war resumed with greater energy than be- fore.

august father with these sweet dollies,
who carried on squeaky dialogue as
between mother and child. But, after

to bed, and the emperor was then left
alone with the two clever artificial
ladies'. In an adjoining room tho en-
press, NJ. Faure, and some ladies and
gentlemen OF the court were talking,
when suddenly strange noise, like
that of an Internal machine, was heard,
followed by loud exclamation.
Everybody rushed to see what 1t
was. There was the czar, safe and
sound, but with dismal face, looking
at the dolls, which he bad partly un-
dressed to find out the secret hidden
In their bosoms, while the dolls were

The gentle empress quite lost her

But as "Nicky" looked very penitent

could not help laughing. ''You see
how 1t is" said the emperor. 81 am

from the emperor the company laughed
heartily, and peace was at once re-
