THIRTEEN NATIVES HANGED.
Murderers of American Missionaries In
 Sierra Leone, Africa.

London, Nov. 1.-The mails from news of the hanging at Kwellu, of thir- teen murderers of American mission aries, members of the United Brother hood of Christ, in the Sherbro district of Sierra Leone, last May The massa- ere of the missionaries referred to i'll the foregoing dispatch grew out of the dissatisfaction of the natives with the local hut tax. A number of chiefs re- belled and the instruction spread through the Sherbro district, where the headquarters of the missionaries of the United Brotherhood of Christ were To- cated.
 The insurgents burned the mission house and murdered number of the missionaries, among them Mr. and Mrs Cain and the Misses Archer, Hatfield and Schenck. Several of the mission aries, MT. and Mrs. Butner, MT. and Mrs. Minshall and the Misses Munchell and Ward succeeded in reaching Free Town, capital of the British colony of Sierra Leone. Miss Muller was rescued under the most thrilling conditions. A number of the natives, frightfully be- smeared with the blood of earlier vic- tims, had already surrounded the mis- sion house where she was and she owed her deliverance to the arrival, just in the nick of time. of boats crew from British warship. A British expedi- ton was subsequently dispatched to the scene of the uproar and the bodies of several of the missionaries were rs- covered. Native chiefs to the number of hundred were arrested by the Brit ish authorities and placed on trial for murder. It is probable that the thir- teen already executed were the princi- pal leaders.

An Awful Crime Committed by Ken
 lucky Farmer.

Glasgow, Ky, Nov. 11.-Robert Brown, a well known farmer of this neighborhood. wound up a family quar- rel at his home four miles from this place, last night by shooting and kill ing his father-in-law, Louis Mcclellan; his mother-in-law, Mrs. Mary McClel- Ian, and his sister-in-law, Bertha Me- Clellan. He also shot and wounded his brother-in-law, George Mcclellan, who probably will die. Brown gathered to- gether all the rifle cartridges he could find in the house and disappeared News of the tragedy spread through the country side, and the sheriff with a small posse to-day found Brown secret ed in his barn. Brown drove his pur- suers from the barn and barricaded the doors and shot at whoever appeared The crowd, which grew larger each moment, poured volley after volley into the barn. More than a hundred shots were fired. Finally Brown surrendered The crowd had lighted matches to burn the barn, when the appeared with wea- pons in each hand. The officers started to bring him into town, pursued by a large number of men, who threatened to lynch him.

mics of the United States, To make this clear l need only point to the re- lationship between their armed forces and those of the United States as shown in bloody conflict that took place be- tween them at Cavite. The result of all this would be war of subjuSation in our lands, war which would be very costly in men as well as money for the United States, a war of desolation and ruin for the Philippines, worse than that of Cuba.
 We who have such large personal and business interests in the Philip pines view with dismay the possibility of this terrible event. How can it be that American people should not hesi- tate in face of the certain prospect of plunging into such a series of inevita- ble disasters? There would result not only the damage to property and loss of life, but these evils would be agsravat- ed by the diversity of races and tie enmity existing between them. All have said would apply equally whether the United States annexed the Philip pines or established a protectorate. The latter course would either be absolute ly insufficient to maintain or would have to assume such character as would be regarded and opposed by the natives as virtual annexation.

DIXON WHIPS SULLIVAN.
Colored Man Outpoints His Adversary
 from the Start.

New York, Nov. 11.-Through the inn pulsiveness and stupidity of his brother Jack" Dave Sullivan, the little Irish pugilist, lost the bout with George Dix on. the colored featherweight champion, tonight at the Lenox Athletic club. The lads were matched to go twenty five rounds at 122 pounds, and for nine rounds Dixon had the call. He was Sullivan's master in nearly every in- stance, but in the tenth round he more than outpointed his adversary. A left hand hook from Dixon which caught Sullivan on the head almost put him out of business, but he pulled himself together only to go to the floor near the ropes from push. This occurred very near the end of the round and Jack Sullivan evidently thought that time was up. While Dave was trying to re- gain his feet Jack jumped through the ropes and then ran back again.
 A moment later, just as Dave stood erect, Jack jumped into the ring again and ran over to the referee, shouting as he ran, "Time is up; time is up.' Jimmy Colville of Boston, who was ref cree, looked at the youngster in amaze ment and then spoke to the timekeeper, who said 'Two-forty only" and then Colville waved his hands so as to tell every one that the bout was over. This sudden termination of the fight was a sad disappointment to the spectators, as Sullivan could undoubtedly have gone on for several rounds. Dixon, however, had such an advantage at the time that there is no question that he would have received the decision if the bout had gone the limit. The champi- on's work was so clean and clever that very little chance was left for Sulli- vans followers to build hopes upon. Dixon was not quite so fast as of old, but he was as clever as ever, and at no time did Sullivan have the upper hand of him.

COMMENT OF LONDON wEEKL1Es.
Great Britain Will Not Allow United
 States to be COerced.

London, Nov. 1.-The weekly papers while they see in Tuesdays elections in the United States improved prospects of currency legislation regret that the republican success was not more pro- nounced They express fear that the results will encourage continental pow CTS to increase hostility toward the an- nexation of the Philippines by the United States, although they doubt that there will be any more serious inter- vention than acrimonious protests ''asl the powers are aware that Great Britain would not allow the United States to be overborne by hostile coalition"
 The Spectator says: 'The statesmen of the continent universally fear the advent of the United States in Euro pean politics. They cannot rid their heads of the idea that if they stand together as when they coerced Japan, America will similarly yield. But their representations at Washington are likely to initiate greatly the na. tional pride of the Americans, leading to universal support of President Mc- Kinley in a reply which, however mod crate in tone will in effect be clear defiance. The excessive fear felt of Gn fact that the whole continent SC S in Lord Salisbury's Guild hall references to America all manner of inenaces'

Matter of Self Government" !"

Guantanamo, Nov 11.-General Wood, governor of the military depart ment of Santiago, who is now in this district in the course of his tour of in spection along the coast, visited to-day the town of Jamaica and also two su- gar plantations where troops are sta toned. The visit proved exceedingly interesting, showing not only the fear ful effects of the last three years of in- ternal struggle, but also the prosperity that is gradually returning. He found the laborers and their children all look dad plantations, belonging to Messrs. Brooks, General Wood stayed for sev- eral hours. These are typical planta- tions-among the oldest in Cuba. The American commander had luncheon there with menu of venison and game fowl, of home raising" In the course of the afternoon he inspected the coun- try between Soledad and Guantanamo.
 Senor Perez, who has been appointed by General Wood as mayor of Guam tanamo called toward dusk upon Gen eral Wood and reported his experience during the first day of his mayoralty. General Wood said to him in the course of the interview: You Cubans are now on trial before the world, and you must sI,o ybaT l~1o ylr ;,,+ < l,n matter of self government. The Ameri- cans would be pleased to give stable government to Cuba in the course of a twelve month. Let us see if the Cu- bans are able to govern themselves, or if it will be necessary to make some other arrangements. The Americans are now doing everything they can to give Cubans an opportunity to display the administrative abality they give. General Wood has appointed several civil officers and left for Camia shortly before dark.
 The officers of the Third immune regiment who are getting up a regi- mental football team told General Wood before he left that they would challenge the Santiago regiments. He
 
 matches, adding that he was a great believer in the value of such inter-regi mental contests and quoting the fla nous remark of the Duke of Yelling ton that the battle of Waterloo was won on the playing fields of Eton
 A cable message was received by General Wood during the day from General Garcia at Santa Cruz, where the Cuban assembly has been in session for some time, asking for a transport to take General Garcia and sixty friends to Havana. No United States transport is available. It has been we'll known that the delegates were for the most part stranded, as a recent appli- cation was made for supply of "in- digent rations' which, as the assembly is virtually a military body represent ing armed men, were refused.

THE RACE RIOTS.
Negro Prisoners May be Taken Back to
 Phoenix City, N. C.

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. n.-A Journal special from Greenwood says: Every thing was believed to have settled in it's normal shape at Phoenix but to-day a telegram from there says word was sent to Columbia to hold John R. Tol- bert and his son Edward, who are in the penitentiary there. The telegram said af1idavits duplicating the Tolberts in the recent race troubles were on the way to Columbia, and it is now believ- ed it is the intention to bring the Tol- berts back to Phoenix City If this is done it is feared further trouble will result, although leading citizens are de- precating any further violence. The Tolberts escaped to Columbia two days ago and after having their wounds dressed were placed in the penitentiary as a precautionary measure.
