KILLED ELEVEN NEGROES.
hississippians Add Another Chapter to the
History of Crime in That State.


Forest, Miss, Oct. 24.-As the result
of an attempt to arrest a negro near
Harpersyille, Scott county, one white
deputy was killed, three wounded and
nine negroes have been killed by citi-
zens of Ilarpersville and the sheriff 5
posse combined.
The trouble originated last Friday
when a negro named Bill Burke had
an alteration with his employer,
Charles Freeman, a white man, in
which the negro got the best of the
difficulty. The next night a crowd of
white men headed by Wallace Sibley,
who was deputized t" arrest the man,
went to Burke's house, which is about
mile from Harpersvlle. When they
arrived upon the scene and called for
Burke they were greeted by a fusillade
from negroes in the bushes surround
ing the house and in the house itself
Wallace Sibley fell dead at the first
volley and three more white members
of the crowd were wounded. The
whites returned the fire, but were uh-
able to do any execution. There were
not more than eight men in the white
resist effectively they dispersed
towards Harpersville.
When the crowd returned to Har-
persville a large crowd gathered.
They went to Burke's house and got
from his mother the names of all par
ties in the crowd which had ambushed
the men the night before. In all there
were about 40 negroes. All of them
had fed. Then the search for each of
the prescribed darlies began. Six
negroes were found and killed before
the sheriff arrived.
Sunday morning Sheriff Stevenson
was wired from Harpersville of the
condition of affairs and he was asked
to get togeteher a posse and come to
Harpersville. The sheriff lives at Nor
ton, ten miles from the scene. Gath
ering 20 or 80 men the sheriff started
for the place. When he arrived he was
joined by crowds of citizens until the
number in the posse was over 300 men.
After leaving the house where the
first tragedy was committed the
negroes scattered. The sheriffs pur-
suit has resolved itself into a chase of
the negroes implicated.
Forest, Miss, Oct. 25.-Eleven dead
negroes, one dead white man and one
negro and three white men seriously
wounded is the result of the war
being waged between the white and
black races in the Harpersville neigh
bOrhood of this, Scott county. Sev-
eral of the rioters have been captured
and lodged in jail at Forest, but the
others escaped into the swamps.

GREELY VS.. SHAFTER.
Tho Former Asserts that the Latter Haadi-
capped tho Signal Corps During the SAN
tiapO Campaign

tisgo Campaign.
Washington, Oct. 26.-Brig. Gen. A.
w. Greedy, chief signal officer, has pre-
scented Secretary Alger his report of
the operations of the signal corps dur
ing the recent war with Spain. In
the first section of his report Gen.
Greely deyotes particular attention to
the organization of the signal corps
for the war. Referring to the Santi-
ago campaign he says:
Especial interest for the signal
corps attaches to this siege, since the
chief signal officer of the army was
responsible for the inception of this
campaign, which proved to be the
turning point of the war"
Gen. Greedy then discusses the ar
rangement of electric%l and other APP
paratus whereby the war department
to all intent and purposes, was
brought near to the army and quic !
communication established between
the commanding general and his ger
eral officers of the Fifth army corps.
He intimates that the corps officers
in Cuba were handicapped because they
were not allowed to take with them
the signal corps telegraph train which
had been sent to Tampa for the Santi-
ago expedition. He then adds the fol-
lowing:
"The lack of thoroughly trained
men was not the only serious factor
that threatened the efficiency of the
signal work. Seeing that visual sig
mailing, which the commanding gen
1f ha n1
upon, contrary to professional advice,
was practically impossible for land
operations, and only useful between
the coast stations and the fleet, it is
impossible to surmise what would
have been the result had it not been
for the supply of insulated wire, tele-
graphic and telephone Instruments.
etc, which Lieut.. Col. Allen furnished
to Lieut.. Col. Green,
Gen. Greely is confident that during
the month of July the lines of com
munication maintained by his corps
in Cuba were worth more to the ma
tion than the cost of the signal corps
of the army from its inception to the
present day. He refers to the ease
with which the major general COM
manding the army communicated
with Washington, giving important
Gen. Greedy strongly commends the
use of the war balloon and declares
that its utility was thoroughly demon
strated. Concerning the criticism
made of the balloon operations at
Santiago he says: "The forcing of the
signal corps balloon to the skirmish
line, where its position is reported to
have caused serious loss to the troops
by disclosing their movements and at
tracing the enemy's fire, was the ac-
tion of Maj. Gen. Shafter, through
his chief engineer, Col. George Derby,
in the face of the professional advice
given by Lieut.. Col, MaXfield, of the
United States volunteer signal corps,

Middletown, Pa, Oct. 26.-Gov.
Bushnell, of Ohio, arrived in Camp
Meade yesterday. A review of the
First brigade, First division, was held
in the governors honor. He after
wards inspected the camp and made
personal inquiries as to whether the
men desired to remain in the service,
finding a majority in favor of remain
ing. The Pennsylvania. Ohio and New
Jersey regiments are getting ready to
vote on November 8. Gov. Bushnell
told some of the Ohio troops that he
did not think they would be sent 30

content Among the Islanders.
Santiago de Cuba, Oct 27.-Mai.
Petit, in command of the United
States troops at Manzanillo and mifi-
tary governor Of that city, telegraph
ed yesterday that the Cuban general
Rios offers 200 armed men to assist
the Americans in preserving order,
merely asking rations in return. Gen.
Wood sent the following reply: Ger
tainly not. The only conditions on
which rations are to be issued are the
complete disarmament and disband-
ment of the troops"
Some of the Cubans here consider
that the United States is treating its
allies badly in not allowing the Cuban
forces to remain armed. They con-
tend that the Cuban soldiers who have
been fighting three years and who
speak the language of the country, are
better fitted for garrison duty than
"untraned volunteers"
The Cuban general Rodriguez vir-
tually voices the sentiment of the
Cuban army when he says: "We thank
the United States for the ass stance it
has given us. but the time has now
arrived when Cubans should be placed
in the highest offices and should pre-
pare to take over the island on the
departure of the Spanish"
Cuban extremists here are jubilant
at the reported attitude of the Cuban
assembly at Santa Cruz del Sur, where
the delegates, while expressing their
gratitud to the Americans, practical
ly demand a distinctive Cuban gov
ernment.

Earth to the Other without the Aid OF
Wires.
New York, Oct 27.-NilioIa Tesla,
the electrician, describes in yester-
DAYS issue of the Electrical Review
possibility in electric power trans
mission. His inventions for transmit
ting electricity at pressure over long
distances have been successfully APP
piled at navy natural sources of pow
er. Probably the most important OF
these plants in the United States is
at Niagara Falls. costing over SGOOn,-
900 to install, which supplies electric
ity to many large factories and sup
plies electric power for running the
trolley lines of the city of Buffalo, 26
miles distant.
The announcement is now made
that by employing apparatus which
he has invented, capable of generating
electrical pressure vastly in excess of
any here tofore used, located at natur-
al sources of power, the current can

The Electrical Review comments on
Mr.. Tesla'S novel and startling ideas
as follows: "Tesla now proposes to
transmit without the use of any wires,
through the natural media-the earth
and the air-great amounts of power
to distances of thousands of miles.
This will appear dream-a tale from
the Arabian Nights. But the eXtraor-

during a number of years OF incessant
labor which are authoritatively de-
scribed in our present issue, make
it evident that his work in this field
has passed a stage of labora tory eX-
pertinent and is ready for practical

from such sources as Niagara will
become available in any part of the
world, regardless of distance
