A WIFE CHARGED
 WITH ASSASSINATION.
Mrs. Orr Arrested In Arkansas Along With Two Negroes, For the 1Iur-
 der of Her Husband.

Memphis, Aug 9-The people of Olar- endon, Ark, are fearfully wrought up over an assassination which took place there on July 30, and developments which took place there Saturday and Sunday.
 On the night of July 30 J. T. Orr prominent hardware merchant of Clarendon, was murdered at his house, and his wife and two negroes are in jail, the negroes being charged with the murder direct, and Mrs. Orr charged with having procured their services to make way with her husband There was demonstration there Sunday night and lynching may yet be the climax.
 Orr was most foully murdered having been shot through tho window of his own home. Search for the guilty par ties was unfruitful until Saturday, when the sheriff learned that state ment was being made by young woman that Mrs. Orr knew something of the assassination. It was charged that she hired the negro name1 Dennis Record to kill Mir. Orr. A negro named Manse Castle, however, volunteered to do the work for same amount, so it was stated Record, Castle and Mrs. Orr were inn mediately placed under arrest. On yes terday Castle said he killed Orr and charged Mrs. Orr with having hired him to in tho xrorlr
 Sunday night great crowd gathered on the public square and it looked for a time as if there would be a lynching. Judge Thomas. who had just returned from Des Arc, made a speech and made an urgent appeal to the crowd not to mob the prisoners. He announced that he would at once adjourn court at Lone oke and try the prisoners The crowd dispersed and Mrs Orr, who had been kept in the courthouse since her arrest on Saturday, was conveyed to jail
 Orr's life was insured for $5C00 in the Knights of Pythias and Maccabees His wife is the beneficiary. While Castle alleges that Mrs. Orr hired him to do the job, there are some conservative citi- zens who believe Mrs Orr guiltless and 1 q trial will clear her.

GENERAL SKATER
 TELLS OF HIS MEN.
He Gives Reasons Why His Army suf- fered as Much az It Has at
 City of Santiago.

Washington, Aug General Shaft. ter has telegraphed the president re- garding the publication of the Round Robin signed by the general officers of his command as follows:
 Il can very readily see the intense excitement the publication must have oeeasioned, a great deal more than the situation warranted. The situation was greatly aggravated from the fact that before any men were taken ill they were thorous hly exhausted At least 70 per cent of the command had been down with malrial fever, from which they re- cover very slowly, and are in no condi- ton to stand an attack, or dysentery They are placed here now in different conditions than they were when they came here, and do not believe them to be i'll any particular danger
 sThe regiment of immunes that re- eently arrived is not suffering atall, and l don't believe they will They can keep out of the sun, are well clothed and well fed What put my regiment in it's present condition was 20 days campaign when they had nothing but meat, bread and coffee, without change of clothes, without any shelter what ever, and during period twice as stormy as it has been since the surrender. Fresh troops reaching here ill the mid dle of August with good camps, good water, an abundance of tentage, which they will find here, need not apprehend any serious danger.
 q thank you for high regard in which you hold my command and the valuable service they have rendered It pays for all suffering we have endured I have read this to Generals Wheeler, Lawton, Bates and Kent, who concur with me in the view expressed above.

DIR. sWEARlNGEN DIES
 AT STATE CAPITAL.
Bright's Disease Takes This Popular Health Officer to the Grave After
 Lingering Illness.

Austin, Aug. 9.--Dr. R. M. Swearin- gen, state health officer, died at his home here Sunday afternoon after a lingering illness. He had been a sufferer from Bright's disease for several months and the disease took an acute form few days ago.
 His death was a great shock to his many friends here. Governor Culber- son was one of his warmest friends and is greatly grieved over his demise The governor expressed himself in the most eulogistic terms of the character and official career of deceased. The time of the funeral has not yet been announced.
 Dr. Swearingin was almost 60 years of age. He leaves Q widow and a married daughter. He served 12 years as state health officer.
 Richard M. Swearingin was born ill Noxubee county, Miss, Sept 26, 1858. His parents moved to Texas in l848 and settled in Washington county. Dr. Swearingin opposed and voted against secession. When the ordinance was adopted, however, he promptly enlisted and fought throughout the civil war with distinction.

It Is Said the Answer Is Already On the Gable From Paris to the
 Trench Ambassador.
NO NOT BELIEVE THE
 ANSWER SATISFACTORY.
The Officials at Washington, Judging From Press Reports, Think the Answer Is EyasiYe, and May
 De Rejected.

Washington, Aug 8.-Secretaries Al. ger and Long and Attorney General
 Griggs, were in conference with Presi-
 dent Mckinley for an hour this morn. ing. At the conclusion of the confer ence it was announced the official noti- fcation of Spain's acceptance of our terms had not yet been received. The presidents expectation is that be will receive the formal acceptance early to-. morrow. The delay is accounted for by the time that is required in translating 1t to cipher il it's several stages via Paris.
 The impression is growing in official quarters that the Spanish answer, whiIo ill the nature of a concession of the demand, is not brief and simple accept anee without reservation or condition. There is no direct official advices on this point, but all press adviees from Madrid indicate the response is a document of considerable length, prepared with la. borfous care and that 1t has several feat ures which may not appear in the con- ditions presented by the United States. Whether the acceptance Of this charac- ter will be regarded by the authorities here as sufficiently responsive to the American demands is a matter that is exciting much conjecture. In some quarters 1t is being urged that so long as Spain accepts the essential principles re- qu.red by the United States the disposi. tion here will be to deal with the de- feated enemy in a generous spirit of mi nor details, It is probable that this will be the view presented by the French ambassador in case the Spanish reply is not simple, categorical acceptance of the American terms. On the other hand it is believed that the response which opens up diplomatic controversy and gives the conditions 8 much broader scope than that originally framed at Washington may not meet with approv- al here.

He Made a Brave Attempt, but the Mob Was too Much For Him and Secured the Man
 and Lynched Him.

 Notwithstanding, the sheriff made a brave attempt to save his prisoner, it was of no avail, as the mob seemed very determined one.

CLARENDON WILL BE THE SCENE OF A LYNCHING,
 NO DOUBT.
Another Woman Arrested-six Prisoners are Now Charged
 With J. T. 0rr's 
 Death,

CLARENDON, August 9-The town of Clarendon has been more severely stirred today than ever in it s history and all because of the sensation tba ~.s .o4.mltted on the night of July 3O, at the hone of John T. Orr. He lost his life as has already been told, but the recent confessions of the arrested parties so thoroughly implicated bis wife as one of the eonspirators to the deed, so the citizens thought; that nothing but talk of lynching has been heard today
 The coroner's 1urY was reassmbled this morning and worked till half past ten tonight The verdict was that the murdered man came to his death from a gunshot wound infict ed by weapon in the hands of Will Sanders, colored.
 As accessosies, the jury accuses Miss Rachel Morris, young Jew ess, Mrs. Orr, and the following negroes: Manse Castle, Dennis Ri cord, Rll Weaver Susie Jacobs.
 This morning a meeting of the citizens was held, but it was deci' ded to do no violence for the pres ent and it is believed that the law will be allowed to take it's course.
