WILL SPAIN ACCEPT THIS ?
The United States Demands
Whole of the Philippines Group
We will Assume Onlv the
Portion of the Debt IN
Cured for Permanent
improvements.

A Paris telegram says that on
Monday the American commis-
slonloners presented written ex
preston of the purpose of the
United States to take the entire
group of Philippines islands and to
assume such proportion of the
Philippine debts as has been spent
for the benefit of the islands or
their iuhabitlnts, IN public works,
improvements, and permanent
betterments.
1t was also set forth that the
United States would not assume
any part of the PHILIPPINE debt
which has been incurred by Spain
for the furtherance of military or
naval operations to quell insur-
rections of the natives.
The session was adjourned until
Friday in order to give the Span
lards time to prepOre reply.
The session Monday lasted a
little over an hour.
After the conference was dis.
solved, the Spanish commissioners
expressed the opinion that the
Americans demand would create
in Spain, as they had upon her
commissioners, an exceedingly
grave impression. Were the
Spanish commissioners pushed to
y final determination, they would
reject the American demands, but
the changing tone of the Spanish
press recently urges the consum-
nation of a treaty of peace how
ever rigorous, the argument be.
ing that, although the Spaniards
bow to the American demands.
the commissioners do not acknowl
edge the justice or admit the Iegali-
ty of them.
The Spanish commissioners feel
that the United States, to all in
tents and purposes, have not of
fered any financial inducement to
Spain to cede by treaty any part
of the PHILIPPINES.

CONSTABLES SHOOT
Bullets in the Back of q Bow
Who was running. Near
EaSley.

Correspondence Greenville News.
Easley, S. u, Oct. 81 Last
Saturday State Constablps Newell
and Cureton were raiding around
through the country some two
miles east of Easley when they
saw a coIoled boy named Brock
man with a Jug in his hand and
a white boy named Gunter,
with tin bucket. Believing the
boys were carrying whiskey, the
constables made dash to capture
them. The Negro ran. Newell
shot him twice, once in the
shoulder and once in the back of
the head. The shot in the head
glanced and did no serious dam
age.
When the Negro fell Newell
ran up and jumped on him and
beat him over the head with his
pistol. Gunter was arrested and
bound over for trial. The Negro
was carried to jail. Both par
ties are charged with violating
the dispensary law.
The question is, has any Of
ficer the right under the dispen-
sary law, or any other law, to
shoot a man when he is running
from him2
We think tho sooner this in
iqaitous law is wiped from the
statutes the better it will be for
all. w

Reuben +. Talley, a promin>nt
l&fAior and n!"n of some means,
living 9 miles northwest of this
city near Travellers Rest, com.
mltted suicide early yesterday
morning by shooting himself
through the head with a pistol.
by the side of the dead man was
found a pathetic note written on Il
piece of pnstehoard and addressed
to his wife telling her that he was
going to kill himself and please
to take care of his two chill
drcn and have him buried at
once; that she would find his will
In her favor in possession of his
brother living near by. In the
note he gave rs the cause for the
taking of his own life that his
health was permanently impaired
and that if he lived he would be
only a drag and that therefore he
thought 1t best for all concerned
that he should die. 1t is reported
that he had often said lately that
he would kill himself, bat it was
not thought he would carry out
his declaration. He frequently
suffered from severe headaches
that at times would almost drive
him mad, but it is not thought
that he was suffering from one of
these attacks when he fired the
shot through his brain. On the
contrary the circumstances sur
rounding the deed indicate that it
WAS committed after due delibera
tion and while he was in perfectly
sound mind.

Sp"cirl to The State.
tAio0, Nov. IA highway
robbery vas committed ON the
road leading from Lockhart to
Mt. Tabor, in this county, yester-
day evening about dark. The
victim was Mr. John ii Inmnn, a
prominent young farmer OF the
Mt Tabor community. MIR In
man was returning from Lock
hart, where he had been to sell
cotton. When within a mile of
his fathers home he was attacked
oy three men, two negroes and
white man, who knocked him
senseless and distracted from his
pocket S2l9 in cash, the proceeds
or his cotton. Mr. Inman was
left lying in the road until about
$3.50 o clock, when he was found
oy two negroes who passed along
that way. These negroes had a
buggy brought up and carried Mr.
lnman home. Search was i'm
medlateIy instituted for the guilty
parties, and today Wade Jeter,
notorious negro, was arrested
and lodged in Jail. The other
two are spotted and their capture
is only matter of time.
The store of Mr. IS Townsend
was broken into Saturday night.
The thief entered through back
window. The cash drawer was
pillaged but there was no money
in it, consequently the thief failed
to secure any of the 'filthy lucre." &"
Last tight Mr. Green Bailey's
store was robbed of several artl-
cles of Merchandise, tho entrance
being effected by breaking open a
window. A virgilant lookout for
the robber was kept by the police
and today a negro man was ar.
rested for the robbery. These
depredations following in quick
succession are evidently the work
of "professional," and it is
hoped the right man has been
captured.
Some time ago the Episcopal
rectory, occupied by Judge j Nj
Greer and family, was burned IN
the night tina. The origin of
the fire was regarded as myster-
ious, as there had been no fire
about the place since noon the
day before. Suspicion of in
cendiarism was rife, but nothing
was said about the matter. The
Judge proceeded at once to build
n dwelling house on his lot ad
Joining the one the rectory stood
on. The house, now about COM
pleted, came near going up in
smoke Friday night. The fire
was started in one of the rooms,
but was discovered in time to be
before spreading.
This occurred about midnight,
and was undoubtedly the work of
the fire fend. This second at
tempt at burning confirms the sus,
pision of incendiarism in the
former case.
