THE ARMY VISITS THE NAVY.
General Gillespie and His StaH In
spect the Texas,

New York, Aug. 3.-Chief among the
crowds of visitors which made things
lively for the officers and men Of the
Texas yesterday was Major General
Gillespie. who. accompanied by his staff,
made an official visit to the ship, being
received at the yard with the salute of
eleven guns due his rank. After a call
on Rear Admiral Bunce. Gen. Gillespie
went to the battleship and was received
by Capt. John W. Philip. The general
and his officers made a thorough inspec-
tion Of the ship. examined the marks of
shot and shell. and after spending an
hour on board returned to Governors
Island on the tug.
The Texas did not go into drydock
yesterday. as had been expected. owing
to the fact that the work Of lightering
her took too much time to suit the tides.
Her ammunition and coal are about ell
out. and 1t is expected that she willsgo
into the drydock today. 1t has been said
that she would not stay at the yard
more than ten days. but there is a cur
rent feeling that she will not get away
for at least three weeks. The swarm of
visitors yesterday made work on the big
ship rather slow. but the officers and men
did the best they could to explain all the
points and exhibit all the show places on
the vessel, and they earned the rest
which followed the lowering of the coll
ors at sunset.

SCoURGED BY WHITECAPS.
Six Negro Women Whipped and
Forced to Leave Home.
42O. 422, 424, 426 7th St.


Warnersburg. Mo-. Aug. 3.-Six negro
women were fiogged and driven out OF
town by whitecaps Monday night They
were stripped to the waist and whipped
with rawhides and were then taken to
the railroad track and told to go.
Although the night was wet and dark
they went cheerfully. preferring the
darkness and exposure to further torture
by the whitecaps.
The women were residents of 1.-The
Levee,'' a disorderly section of the town.
Causes that led to the whipping were
several robberies and assaults in that
section at night. Although several per-
sons were arrested in this connection 1t
was impossible to convict them.
While many of the citizens of the city
denounce the action of the whitecaps they
admit that indications point to less law
lessness in the future.
After the whipping the women were
weak and faint from the severe chastise
ment and fright. but they went gladly
when told. The whitecaps went about
their work in CAIN and determined
manner. Each man wore a white hood.
Where they organized Is not known, but
they suddenly appeared at the homes of
the women and without a word dragged
them from their houses and tied them to
telephone poles, where the whipping was
done.
Their agonized shrieks were heard for
several blocks. but although "a larn9
number of citizens gathered. there was
no attempt made to prevent the punish

far as the depot. where they were liber-

When asked If she would ever 20 back
