was lynched after leaving Anderson's
mill. When the mob returned to Bear
den, they gave out the report that
Huntley could not be found Devoe
was then placed in a wagon, and the
mob started with him to Harlow Mill
ranch, three miles north Of Bearden
Later the mob returned with an empty
wagon and reported that Devoe had
escaped. There seems to be no doubt
of the fate of both.
The two other men lynched were &C

rick, a water pumper for the Cotton
Belt railway, at Kingsland, few days
ago. Frederick was thrown from his
velocipede and murdered His pockets
were riied and his watch taken It
was through the watch that a clew
to the identity of the murderers was
secured. The negroes left the time
piece at store in Rison. A mob at
once started in pursuit and captured
the murderers at a point near Little
Bay. The details of this lynching are
not obtainable, but it is reported that
three negroes were captured and that
two were hanged. The third was
wanted at Kingsand on another
charge, and he was turned over to the
sheriff Of Cleveland county.

comprehensive that it would be difficult

To quote from Mr.. Shorters preface:
IN reading the critical journals of

years a necessity, criticism, as involved
in the selection, las been forced upon

FOUR MEN LYMCHtiED.
Mob Law Justice for Four COIored
Men in Arkansas.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Jan. 8.-Four
colored men have been lynched in the
vicinity of Bearden, Ark, within the
last few days. Two, Devoe and Hunt
ley, were swung UP near Harlow Mill
ranch, about three miles north of Bear
den, while the others met their fate
near the town of Little Bay, a few miles
south of Bearden. The work was done
by two separate nobs, and, according
to reports from Fordyce, near the
scene, the quadruple lynching created
but little excitement.
Devoe and Huntley were lynched for
a crime committed a year ago. Both
negroes escaped after their crime, and
remained out of the vicinity for twelve
months. A few days ago Devoe again
put in an appearance and was promptly
arrested A mob was quickly gathered
and Devoe barely escaped lynching
at that time. He was on the stand re-
garding the -owhereabouts of Huntley,
but refused at 6rst to give any infor-
nation. He finally stated that Huntley
was working at Anderson's mill, on the
Cotton Belt Sroad. about twenty-five
miles north of Fordyce. Devoe was
left in charge CT heavy guard near
Bearden. WHILE sthe remainder of the

The Rock of the Lion" is a very
readable story for young people, by
Molly Elliot Seawen. The hero, Archie
Baskerville is a high-spirited cour-
ageOuS youth, and though the high
spiritedness frequently amounts to in
pertinence and the cOurageousness to
foolhardiness, he is enough of a natural
| boy to make one forgive many of the
things he does in the name of smart
ness. A nlidshipman on the Bon Homme
Richard, Archie Baskerville is an
enthusiastic Worshper of his COM
mander, Commodore Paul Jones, and a
rampant little rebel against King
George, although his grandfather, with
whom his father had quarreled before
ne exiled himself in the new world, is
Lord Bellineham, an eccentric and
ferocious English peer.
Archie, while fishing, is captured by
an English frigate and sent on parole
to England, where he meets his grand
father. His dauntlessness and indie
pendence gain for him respect quite
foreign to the fierce old mans usual
attitude towards members of his fam
lily. Archie has many adventures, and
in one of them is shipped in a press
gang to Gibraltar, then held by the
brave English garrison. 1t is this part
OF the story that gives to the book it's
name of 1.-The Rock Of the Lion" 1t
is an interesting tale for young people
and wholesome as it is interesting.

WATSON'S FLEET
Will Be Ready to Sail Within Five
Days---Will Go Whether Camara
Returns to Cadiz or Not.

Washington, d. G., June 2S.-At the
conclusion Of the Cabinet meeting it
was stated that the work of supplying
Commodore Watson's squadron with
ammunition, coal and provisions pre-
paratory to its departure for Spain was
progressing satisfactorily, and that IN
all probability the squadron would be
ready to sail in the course of the next
four or five days.
The impression which seems to pre-
vail in some quarters, that the sending
of this feet to Spain is intended solely
to prevent Admiral Camara from going
to the Philippines is erroneous.
There is no question that this move
has been under consideration for some
time, and it is the fixed intention OF
the government to send the vessels to
Spanish home waters whether Camara' S
fleet proceeds to the Philippines or not.
If it returns and comes within striking
distance of Commodore Watson's pow
erful squadron it is confidently ex-
pected by the President and the mem
bers Of the Cabinet that it will be
crushed, thus utterly destroying Span
ish power on the sea.
Should it continue its course to
Manila, Admiral Dewey's squadron is
regarded as abundantly able to main
tain the hCnors it won on May 1.
Everything is progressing to the sat
isfaction of the administration, arms
and equipments are being provided at a
rapid rate and nothing disquieting has
been received

CHICKAMAUGA, June 2S.-The order
issued Sunday to Immediately equip ana
prepare fifteen regiments of the FIRST
corps to form an expeditonary force was
revoked by Major General Brooke to-day.
This does not change the plan to pre-
pare for an expedition, however, since the
revoking order affects more especially
the transfer that was named IN the lof-
mer order. 1t provides further that IN
stead of 10 regiments being Immediately
equipped ana prepared the entire flrSt
corps of q regiments is to be hastily pre-
pared for actual field service, and the nat
ural inference prevails among the pest
posted army officers at the park that the
entire force will be off for Tampa or other
seaports within a week or ten days or as
rapidly as transports can be provided.
Among the regiments included are Ninth
Pennsylvania, First Pennsylvania, Second
Ohio. Sixth Ohio. First West Virginia.
sixteenth Pennsylvania, Fourth PennSyl-
Nania and Fourth Ohio.
Major General Brooke was appointed by
the President to command the entire
N command at Camp Thomas. This is in
fact the understanding of members of
Gen. Brookes staff and the change made

Washington, ID. c., June 2S.-It
was very late in the day when the
first dispatch within two days came
to the War Department from Gen.
ShafLer, but the news was regarded
as SO good that there was no dispo-
sition to complain.
1t disclosed very satisfactory
rate of progress on the part of Gen.
Shafter towards the town of Santi-
ago itself, and apparently he has
gained all this ground, and has
come within three miles of Santi-
ago without suffering any losses
since the bloody skirmlsh of Friday
last
Altogether the performance is re-
garded as very gratifying by the
department officials here.
AS near as can be gathered from
the brief dispatches, the American
army IS now at the fork in the road,
one branch of which leads to Santi-
ago and the other to Moro Castle,
at the entrance to the harbor.
Gen. Shafter is thus free to move
in either direction according to the
demands of the campaign
With the 1900 men who rein
forced him Yesterday on the Yale,
and the additional brigade that will
reach him tomorrow, it may be
possible to make even more rapid
progress in the advance upon Santi-
ago, as these men can be relied
upon to relieve the main body of
troops from the necessity of keep
ing open the line CT communication
between Shafter and his base at
Baiquir.
Meanwhile further reinforce
ments are being prepared and dis
patched as rapidly as the best
energies Of the department can
direct, and it is believed that sew
eral thousand men sailed from
Tampa to-day directly for Santiago.
The department has had in mind
the difficulties of the campaign that
are just developing to the public
eye, such as the use for the first
time in civilized warfare of barbed
wire fencing as means of defense
ana dcllHS upon the ADVICE Vi SOME
Of our army officers who were in
Cuba while the fighting was confin-
ed to the Spaniards and the insur-
gents, a certain number of men in
each regiment have been provided
with wire cutters and charged with
the duty of cutting down these
fences so as to permit the advance
of the troops.
1t probably will be necessary to
shell out the force defending these
wire chevaux de friZ before they
