ALL LYNCHED.
Five Negro Murderers Strung
Up at Once.

Montgomery, Ala, June 1.-THE men
who murdered NJ. Garden and his wife
and an old man named Carlee last
week, near Wetumpka were lynched at
9 o'clock today.
Last night Governor Johnston re-
ceived a message from the sheriff that
a mob was assembling and he feared
his prisoners would be taken from him
and asked for troops. The governor
soon got together about 80 men of the
local militia and sent them to We
tumpka on a special train. Before they
reached there the mob had secured the
prisoners, five in number, and took
them to the scene of the murder.
Four of the negroes confessed to
having participated in the crime and
one of them told where he had hid the
money. He was compelled to find it
and in a few minutes near the scene of
the crime, all five were swung UP and
their bodies riddled with bullets. The
militia was unable to follow the mob
last night as they were all we'll mount
ed and no means of conveyance was at
hand to take the soldiers after them.
This afternoon news came over the tel
ephone from Wetumpka that the ne
groeS had been found swinging from a
limb.

MORE MEN FOR CUBA.
Army of 10000 Ordered to
Rendezvous.

Washington, D. c., June 17.-Orders
were sent out today for the assembling
of 10000 volunteers at Fernandina,
Fla, as quickly as possible These
troops are not to go to Porto Rico.
They are to make up the second divis-
ion of the Santiago expedition. The
instructions of the war department
have been forwarded to Camp Alger, to
Camp Thomas, at Chickamauga, and to
Tampa They direct the commanding
officers of the camps to select the regi-
ments best prepared for immediate
service. These regiments will move
to Fernandina in a few days and get
ready to embark for Santiago.
This second division of General Shaft
er's expedition may not consist of
more than 5000 men and it may be
10000. The number will depend upon
the news from Santiago during the
coming week. General Shafter took
with him all the regulars save three
commands. A provisional division of
volunteers was organized at Tampa at
the time when the plans called for the
embarkation of $4,000 men Subse-
quently the war board considered it
advisable to divide the expedition into
two divisions, and the volunteers were
left behind. Now, instead of making
the second division consist of the vol
unteer regiments which General Shafter
expected to take, it is deemed best to
mobilize a new force, taken partly from
the Tampa troops and partly from the
regiments in a forward state at Chicka-
manga and Camp Alger.
Will Sail in a Few Days.
The second division of the Santiago
expedition will get away in a few days.
But it is not probable that much of the
actual work of the reduction of Santi-
ago will fall to the volunteers. Unless
Admiral Sampson is very much mis-
taken the situation the city and har-
Dor will be taken quickly after the first
division is ashore. The real mission of
the second division is not to re-enfOrce
the first When Santiago capitulates
and the 5000 Spanish soldiers and 1000
Spanish sailors surrender, an American
force of several thousands will be need
ed in the vicinity to act as a garrison.
Gen. Skaters first division absorbed a
large part of the regular army. These
regulars will be wanted elsewhere as
soon as they have taken Santiago. The
second division, composed of volunteers
is to constitute the garrison and re-
main in the vicinity of the city, while
the first division is moved to another
field of active operation.
Possibly 5000 volunteers will be suffi
cient for the garrison after Santiago is
taken Probably a larger number, near
ly 10, 600. will be sent to occupy and hold
the advantage gained. Until the fegu-
lars are disembarl1ed and Santiago has
fallen, it will not be possible to de-
termine accurately how many troops
should be left. But the plans of the
make use of the regulars elsewhere, and
to utilize the volunteers for the Occupa-
ton of Santiago. After that will come
Porto Rico.

NOT OVER 1000 MEN
Are Likely to Go on the Second Ex-
pedition to Manila

San Francisco, June 17.-Orders have
been issued to have the City Of Para
ready to sail with the third Manila ex-
ped lion on June 25. 1t is not expected,
however, that the transports will sail
much before July 1. So far as decided
upon they will consist of the Ohio, In
diana. Morgan City, City of Para and
Valencia. The last named, which was
secured yesterday, can carry six hun
dred men, is nearly new and has su-
perior accommodations for officials.
She will probably be made the flagship
of Brigadier General King who Will
command the expedition of General
Merritt himself, should he decide to go
with these vessels.
The steamer PrOgresSO and Willamette
have been examined and may be
taken. If they are not secured the force
of men under General King may not
exceed $500 or 1000, owing to the linn
lied capacity of the steamers engaged.
Seven transports have already sailed
and only six thousand men are yet on
their way to Manila. 1t will require
nearly twenty more troop ships to
carry the IA 900 soldiers necessary to
make up the 20, 900 which is given out
as the number which will occupy the
ish North American Pacific company
can be successfully made, the way will
b. opened for engaging more foreign
vessels and the government may yet
get such steamers as the Coptic, Gaelic
and Doric The Belgic can hardly come
in the list, for she sails tomorrow for

der went forth for the suspension of the
metropolitan police law. They are com
ing in from highways and hedges, and
all want to wear stars.
A prominent politician said today:
John Wilkerson will probably be Of
fered the place of marshal. and I'll bet
he will take it He stands a better
show than John Gardiner"
Albert Hopkins, who was one of the
best jailers the city has had, is anxious
to nave his old place again. Ex-Jailer
Jester is said to have an anxious eye
on the position of sergeant. and there is
talk of Tim Donovan holding over.
Chief Steele said today: This is a
move which ought to please the Repub-
Hcans immensely. 1 don't care a rap
as far as I'm concerned, but it is a bad
move. All I hope is that they will
have better police force than we have
now" and it was hard for those who
heard the chief say this to decide
whether his statement was made in
earnest with sarcasm.
What Topeka wants is non-par-
tisan police force We want policemen
who are made of the right kind of
material and who are not political wire
pullerS. The people pay a police force
to protect the citizens and the property
and not to act as ward politicians 1t
is a great opportunity for the Republi-
cans to show their superiority as high
minded men, by not making a "clean
fire. of the whole force for political
reasons.
Mayor Fellows and the city council
should take high moral ground in the
formation of the police force and ig-
more the politicians. Topeka is to have
what it has wanted ever since the met
ropolitan police has been made a polit-
Ical machine and no mistake should be
made
There are no doubt a number of men,
eight or nine perhaps, on the present
police force who are good officers and
should be retained A discharge of all
the men without regard to their effici-
ency would be a grave error which has
been committed several times in the
past few years.
Give US a good police force without
regard to politics. and hereafter, let us
see to it that the city police force is as
efficient and non partisan as the fire
department. If we do this crime will
almost disappear from the city of To-
pelxa and we shall have the model city
of the country. Besides that, the en-
tire city, regardless of politics, will
have faith in Republican management
of affairs.

IN JAIL FOR DEBT.
Abe K Fulford the Victim of an III
Constructed Law.

Abe K. Fulford, the ex-showman, is
IN Jail constructively, on account of
dept: He was arrested today by the
Sherlft OF a commitment issued by Pro-
bate Judge Dolman.
Technically, Fulford has been COM
!nltted for contempt of court In real
1ty the cause of his bar to freedom is
his inability to pay debts which are
held against him 1t is an unusual
case. Not since the laws of oIden times
winch prescribed imprisonment for in
deptedness, has a case of this kind
come to light.
Mr.. FulfOrd is making an effort TO
raise $l41 46 which will lift him out of
ms present embarrassing predicament
Otherw1se he will have to ''stay in jail'
SUBJECT to the order Of the probate
court.
The case has been dragging along for
several weeks. Arthur Massey the
hhorseshoer, held a judgment for several
hundred dollars against Fulford which
ne secured in the district court Full
ford failed to settle it, and Massey's
attorneys filed a petition in the probate
court asking that FulfOrd be brought
into court, that he be enjoined from
paying out or disposing of any proper
", and that special restraining order
be issued enjoining him from drawing
from the county treasurer $141.46 which
was due him for work ne had done at
the new Kansas avenue bridge.
,tuItord was brought into court and after
the hearing Probate Judge DOlman issued
the restraining orders.
- After this Fulford drew the money from
the county treasurer, whereupon motion
was Immediately made asking that Full
ford be tried, for contempt. The trial was
held and Judge DOlman received from the
special jury in the case a verdict of guilty
OF contempt. The commitment was is
sued. and today Fulford was taken into
custody The probate court will not push
the case of contempt against Fulford if
in a reasonable time to satisfy Massey

LAST HOPE GONE.
Manila Must Surrender Or
StarYe.

Manila, June 5, via, Hong Kong, June
lit is now officially admitted here
that the lack of food supplies has be-
come a serious matter. Gunboats con-
veying volunteers sent into the lagoOns
to search for food for the city on Fri
day June 8, returned here today and
reported the total failure of their mis-
sion.
1t has now been officially admitted
that the troops have been SO hours
without food. The insurgents are gain
ing everywhere and are now firing into
Manila itself
so report that every lagoon and town
is hostile and that their garrisons have
probably been massacred.
The Spanish f1OtiIla was unable to eff

ing upon the part of all the gunboats.
Nobody however was killed.
This removes the last hope of pro-
visiOning Manila.
During the week all the garrisons
were simultaneously Overpowered or
surrendered as prisoners The latter
are well treated. A majority of those
who resisted were slaughtered.
