Clarendon, Ark, Aug. 12.-Every hour brings further evidence that the assassination of J. T. Orr was we'll planned affair, and one in which seyer- al other persons may yet be implicated;
 1t appears from letters received by Mrs Orr, in the namo of her cook, Rilla Weaver, that Mrs. Orr and Rachel Mor- ris were to remain here until Mir. Orr insurance money was collected and then go to New York, where they were to meet two men and form theatrical company Mrs Orr was also in corre- spondence with other men. A letter came yesterday as follows:
 Caldwell, O., Aug. 6. 1898 Dear Lorilla Enclosed you will find a pie rute of me taken Aug. ,, 1888. Another matter has been brought to my aten- tion since l wrote you last and that is our common pleas court conyenes Sept. 5, and hardly see how I can get away in September. Perhaps it would suit you 10 defer until October Let me hear from you in regard to the matter.
 ''Howeyer, if you cannot defer 1t un- til October think l can arrange mat ters all right, but if it would be more convenient for you to defer it until Oe- tober I could stay with you longer as I would have all my court affairs attend ed to for the September term.
 "Trusting that you will be pleased with Ohio's real kid mayor, I am still yours. ARTHUR o. ARCHER. /"
 This letter is accompanied by real photograph of the ''real kid mayor" en- dorsed on the back Arthur to Lorilla. :" It must be understood that Lorilla is the negro woman who cooked for the Orrs. Apparently, Mrs. Orr carried OH cor respondence in Lorrilla's name.
 Mrs. Orr was admitted to the first homes of the town, given prominent place ill church work and every consid- eration generally accorded good people.
 Miss Rachel Morris, accused of being an accessory. and Susie Jacobs, negro, also a cook, have skipped, and thei' whereabouts are unknown Had they been in jail, they would have undoubt- edly been lynched.

THE OPINION OF
 A SPANISH PAPER.
It Is to Accept the Terms of tho United States and Stop the Loss
 of Life Resulting Therefrom.

Madrid, Aug, 12,-The Moderate Re- publican (Liberal) expresses the belief that President Mckinley replied to Spain's note with suspicious rapidity. It adds:
 ''We accept the sacrifice knowing the responsibility falls upon our govern ment. The best course is to avoid all useless procedure while diplomats arc quibbling. It is useless to make dis functions in language in order to reach conclusion which is inevitable and al- ready known, while our blood continues to flow in Porto Ricoand Manila. Dur ing the last three years we have sacri. feed too much blood It is time to end it, and this is the only aspect of the question that at present is to be con sidered, anyway fhe press is unable to discuss it's other aspects, for all delay ill concluding an armistice is criminal.

TO GO TO MANILA.
That Is the Number of Troops at San Francisco That Are to Go to the
 Philippine Islands.

San Francisco, Aug. 12.-There are about 9300 Philippine expeditionary troops at San Francisco. The Arizona and Scandia will take away s30o, leav- ing coco to be forwarded This includes the Eighth California, which was turned over to Major General Otis as a part of the expeditionary forces.
 The First Washington has not been attached to the Eighth army corps and will, therefore not go to Manila unless later orders are issued assigning it to duty in the Philippines.
 It is expected the Australia and the Syndey will reach this city from Ma nila about Aug l5. They will ba imme- diately fitted cut for return trip to tbe Philippines with troops, and will be fol- lowed by the City of Peking, which s due here about Aug. 24. These vessels will probably carry the Fifty First Iowa, the Twentieth Kansas and the First Tennessee.
 General Merriam desires to have all troops embarked for Manila not later than Oct 10.

United States authorities and not to Cubans. There are political reasons why the Spanish government should impress this course upon it's military commanders, seeking as it has done to induce the United States to assume the sovereignty over Cuba instead of erect ing a Cuban government. Therefore, this condition at Holeuin, if known to Blanco may induce him to take steps to surrender the place to any authorized American officer
 It is intimated that surrenders on this basis would not cease at Holguin, and rumor is afoat that Havana itself had surrendered, but this failed of eonfima- tion at points where such news natural ly would find its way. If these condi- tions are known to the Spanish govern ment at Madrid the fact may have tn important bearing in hastening the ae- tion of the Sagasta ministry upon the pending proposition from the United States government.

Sixty women and children were near the building during the fight
 The Spaniards opened with machine gun at distance of 300 yards. The Leyden, Ensign Crosley commanding, rushed within 100 yards of the shore and poured 1-pounders into the Spaniards. Captain Barclay of the Amphitrite used 6-pounders and the Cincinnati 5-ineh guns. The ships landed 250 men during the fight and reinforced the lighthouse force.
 The machine gun, rifles and ammuni- tion were left by the retreating Span iards.

The San Francisco call., 1898-04-25

and the results there may prove in the end to be among the most important ever brought about by a labor strike in the history of the United States.
 lhis unexpected development brought about by the fact that among the which enable South ern cotton mills to undersell the Northern mills IS the long hours of labor required of the Southern operatives. The Northern mill-owners pointed out to their employees that they had to compete with workers in the Southern States who toiled twelve hours day, and for lower wages at that and conse- quently that the Northern operative would be at a disadvantage so long the Southern mills are run under the present grinding system
 Out of this there car,e at once demand and an agitation for better labor laws in the South. The strike in New England IS over but the agitation tor Southern reform continues This it is already seen IS the most important thing accomplished by the strikers. They have not achieved anything ot mpor- tance for themselves, but they have rendered vau7 able service to the fellow workers in the Southern States They have directed the attention of the na- ton the evil conditions of factory operatives in those States, and by doing so have started move which in the end can hardly fail to result in a far-reaching benefit to overworked and lll-pald class.
 The agitation has of course aroused great deal of opposition in the South but this to have been expected. The movement for labor laws has been bitterly fought in every portion of the world where 1t has been started The South is industriay to-day where the Northern States were twenty years ago, when in 1874 Massachusetts adopted ten-hour tac- tory law, and the fight for labor there will be as hard as was the long fight for 1t in the North In the end however 1t will be successful and the Southern operative will have occasion to give thanks to the New England strikers who precipitated the battle for their relief
