THE RACE TROUBLES
In North Carolina Continued Yes
terday, and Three Whites Were
Shot by Negroes-F Trou-
BILE Expected.

Wilmington, N. c., October ga
special to the Star from Lumberton.
sals:
At o'clock this morning a squad of
the negroes who were dispersed at
Ashpole, Robson county, crept up to
the town and shot three whites sta
toned there as guards. They were AL
bert Floyd, Robert Inman and William
BuHard. Billiard is seriously wounded,
the others slightly. A hundred whites,
with bloodhounds are now in pursuit,
and it is said four of the negroes have
been caught.
There is great excitement at all points
in the State in Geographic communica-
tiop with Lumberton. The whites are
telegraphing the principal towns in the
State for Winchester rifles to be sent
there Immediately.
Four negroes who shot the three
white guards have been captured near
Ashpole. Theye were run down and
brought to bay by the bloodhounds,
which are thoroughly trained. The ne
groes are now confined in box cars at
Ashpole and heavily guarded. 1t is I'M
certain yet what the fate of the negroes
may be, but it is feared their cowardly
attempt to assassinate the guards Will
so exasperate the whites as to cause
further and more serious trouble. The
guard was composed of eight or ten
men, who were standing around the
re in the open air, thus becoming easy
targets for the negroes who fred on
them under cover of darkness, and then
fed. The Ashpole incident has increas-
ed the excitement at Wilmington, which
was already near the danger line.
Groups of white men have been on
the street corners all day eagerly await
ing news from Lumberton and Ashpole.

sioin.
During the last two weeks several hum
dred Remington carbines and large guam
titles of ammunition have been sent from
Havana, it is presumed by some of the
Spanish chiefs. The Spanish resident
manufacturers. merchants and planters
are somewhat alarmed and criticise in
very severe terms the behavior of some
of the Spanish chiefs, who, 1t is alleged.
are acting suspiciously, in many places,
and are working in favor of Cuban inde-
pendence, advising the Cubans to persist
in their revolutionary attitude. For this
reason many Spanish residents here have
written long letters to friends in Madrid
in order that the home government may
be made acquainted with what is hap
pening in the island, and have requested
that on behalf of Spanish interests and of
those of the Spanish residents in the ISL
and. the evacuation may be completed as
soon as possible. so as to avoid prolonging
the existing dangerous condition of af-

REPORT ON CHRISTIAN EDUCATION
Considered by Bishops and Deputies in thu
Episcopal Convention.

Episcopal convention.
Washington, October 23.-The bish-
ops and deputies Of the Episcopal Con-
vention united in joint session yester-
day to consider a report tiom a joint
committee on Christian education. The
report gave in detail the educational
work in progress, indirectly through
the public schools and dn ectly through
the church schools and colleges.
The public schools were referred to
as worthy institutions, necessary to
our social system. The work in them
could be advanced, the work stated,
by having teachers grounded in re-
ligious principles, thus making the pub
lie schools an ally of the church.
The need of church colleges in the
North was poirNSd cut, the present
ones being local, small and without
resources. A tentative plan was sub
mitted for joining the Episcopal col
leges in an academic conference, on
the theory of the great English uni
versities having detached colleges.
Bishop Whipple, of Minnesota, spoke
of the Importance of Christian train
ing.

NO MINES IN HAVANA HARBOR

In an interview in Madrid Gen.r, l
Weyler said:
"You may cable, using my name
with my full authority and desire, that
I deny most emphatically there being
any foundation whatever for the re-
ports pub ished in the American press
that I placed any mines or torpedoes
in the Harbor of Havana. Nor did 1
withdraw any papers relating to such
plans, none existing. 1t is totally alb
surd that any one knowing the Spanish
military. organization should give credit
to such foolish idea being possible.
My defensive preparations were con-
fined to mounting large cal.bre artil-
lery in such manner as seemed to me
fully to protect the barbor. Any other
version of the mines, and so forth, is q
calumny too foolish for people to be-
lieve."

NAVAL PREPARATIONS.

Londcp, March Spain has pur-
chased two cruisers which the Arm
.t,opps have been building for braz''

named, of 1000 ions each, twenty
three Knots and ten guns. .

probably secure two cruisers OF a SINH

ing and her sister chip will sooa be
ready.

deavoring to secure guns ana ,A's.

RAISING MONEY.
The government OF Spin seems TO
have flu DIS, for it is underst cd to be
paying large part of the purchase
money in cash, giving good security
for the balance, these being the only
terms upon which the Armstrong
would deal.
Some weeks ago Spain attempted 10
purchase ships and supplies in England
on credit from prominent firms having
close relations with the government
but after inquiries the firms refused TO
give credit. Since then SPAN mas
raised funds from unknown sources.
Diplomats in London express the
belief that French fnanciers are help
ing the Spanish government.
1t is known that Spain is trying to
purchase three other ships which are
being built by the Armstrong;, but she
has not yet succeeded in making a
bargain, consequently there is still
time if the United States wishes to
forestan her.
The United States could also fore
stall Spain in her purchase OF other
ships building in England and coati-
mental dockyards.
While Chill denies that any IT the
ships orderd for that country are for
sale, it is believed by naval constructors
that Chili's best cruiser, the o Higgins.
which is just finished, could be pur-
chased.
