Memphis, Oct. PA special from For
est, Miss, says:
AS result of an attempt to arrest a
negro near Harpersville, Scott county, in
the eastern part of the state, one white
deputy is killed, three wounded, and, ac7
cording to the latest report, nine negroes
have been killed by the citizens Of the
Harpersville neighborhood and the sher-
IFS combined. The trouble originated
last Friday when a negro named Burke
had an alteration with his employer,
the negro got the better of the difficulty.
The next night crowd of white men,
headed by Wallace Sibley, who was dep
utized to arrest the man, went to Burke's
house, which is about a mile from Har-
persville. When they arrived on the
scene and called for Burke they were
greeted by a fusilade from the negroes
concealed in ambush in the bushes sur
rounding the house and in the house it.
sell. Wallace Sbley, the leader, fell dead
at the first volley and three more white
members of the crowd. James johnson,
Jan.es Hamilton and James Wells, were
wol Eded. The whites returned the fire,
but were unable to do any execution. as
their assailants were all concealed. There
we've not more than eight men i'll the
white crowd, and finding it impossible to
resist effectively they dispersed towards
Halpersville. 1t was not known at that
time that Sibley was injured. but this
morning he was found dead in the yard.
The wounded deputies were able to get
back to town with the assistance of their
comrades. This occurrence took place
early in the night.
When the crowd returned to Harpers-
vile the news spread like wildfre. Dur
ing the night large crowd gathered
from the neighborhood. They went i'm
mediately to Burke's house and got from
his mother the names of all parties in
the crowds which had ambushed the men
the night before. In all there were about
40 negroes who had gathered to prevent
the arrest of Burke and a list was made
up at her dictation. All of them had
fed. Then the pursuit and search for
each of the prescribed darkies began. Ac-
cording to the statement of reliable citi-
zens six negroes were found and killed by
the crowd of armed and determined citi-
zens before the sheriffs arrived.
"A reliable telephone message received at
late hour states that three more negroes
have been found and killed. making to-
tai of nine up to date. with about 40
more to be heard from.

SPAIN IS NOW DESPERATE.
INSISTS ON HELP WITH DEBT
II Is Suggested That the Peace Ne
gotfatfons May Yet fail, but
Spain VIII Have to Yield in Her
Present Helpless and Moneyless
Condition.

Paris, Oct. @.-The consideration by the
peace commissioners Of Puerto Rico and
the Ladrone islands has now been merged
with the Cuban question. and all the
points involved are being carried forward
by simultaneous conclusion. When this
has been arrived at the Philippine ques-
ton will be taken up. OF course there Is
a possibility-of a disagreement, and the
Spaniards, If the American peace COM
missioners decide not to assume any por-
ton of the Cuban Indebtedness. may an
nounce their unwillingness to proceed any
further with negotiations based upon the
protocol. Should the Spanish decide to
do this 1t will be because they will wish
to excite the pity of their creditors and of
other nations. The cortes may be then
asked to indorse their action. In fact,
the Spaniards may even prefer the re-
sumption of hostilities to acquiescence in
the American refusal to share their finan-
cial burden. The Americans. however.
have intimated to the Spaniards the possi-
bility that Spain may at some future peri
cd be able to deal with an independent
government regarding the assumption OF
the provincial and municipal portions Of
the Cuban debt. which is estimated to
have been $15O.000.000 before the last rebel
contracted since 1895.
Finally, 1t is said that there are persons
high in the Spanish councils who claim
that Spain would rather submit dumbly
and helplessly to defamation or dismem-
berment than confront this continued fin
ancial burden. One course would leave
her pride unsullied, 1t is claimed. and the
other is regarded as doubtful. If not i'm
possible of adoption. within the boun-
daries of national solvency.
Spain, however, will not break off the
present negotiations before having pro-
posed that the United States share half
the insular debt.
Such a proposition would not be accept
ed by the United States either directly or
in behalf of Cuba.
The session of the joint commission end
ed at 1850 p. m. yesterday.
The adjournment of the joint commits
sion was until Wednesday next. Guam in
the Ladrone group has been chosen by the
Americans under the terms of the proto-
col. The chief matter considered at to-
days session was the American reply to
Spain's revised and renewed propositions
of the last meetings, and the indications
are that the Cuban question will be dis
posed of this week. But no details have
been given out by either side regarding
Spain's presentment of Friday last or the
American answer of the same date.

II In No Compromise.

Washington, Oct. 24.-It is expected at
today's meeting of the peace commission
in Paris the American commissioners will
deliver to their adyersaries something very
closely approaching an ultimatum.
The president is satisfied at last that the
Spanish commissioners are purposely de-
laying the negotiations This is the belief
of the American commission also. The
time has now come to cut off all false
pleas and come directly to the main issue
left open by the protocol, namely, the dis
position of the Philippines.
Up to this point the entire time Of the
commissioners has been consumed in re-
peated efforts OH the part Of the Spanish
commissioners to force the Cuban debt
question upon the joint commission against
the firm opposition of the Americans. The
latter have stated positively that under
no circumstances will they assume the
sovereignty over Cuba involving the as
sumption of the Cuban debt, and the time
has come now when, in the opinion Of the
American commissioners, the Spanisrds
must be made to understand that this an
| swer is final
The president today approved the rec
! ommendation of General Wade at Havana
that the Spaniards be allowed until De-
cember ! to evacuate Cuba. Meantime,
however, the United States troops now in
Cuba and others to be dispatched will
take possession of the territory as fast as
the Spaniards vacate it, probably leaving
