WHAT DLH III - liCiOhl hhANH-
What does Commodore Dewey's fam
GUS victory in the Philippines mean to
Spain? It means the capture Of the
Philippines, the overthrow of Spanish
rule on those islands, the establishing
Of free government by the insur-
gents, supported by the power of the
United States. 1t means the destruc
tion OF SPANS sea power in the Pa
cific, the preventing of a Spanish attack
on the western coast OF this country,
the release Of most OF the Pacific
squadron from duty in the Orient and
an opportuni for Dewey to join his
naval forces with these OF Sampson
or Schley. Or ii may mean the
sending OF Dewey's warships to
BON bard Cadiz and Barcelona.
The wiping out OF the Spanish tleet
in the Pacific means disaster to
Spain in many directions. 1t means
the downfall of Sagasta, and, in the
end, revolution in Spain that will
overthrow the present dynasty, send
Alfonso packing, and in all prob
ability, put the pretender, Don
Carlos, in power. 1t may mean
an Intervention on the part
OF the powers, forcing Spain to evacu-
ate Cuba and surrender TO the demands
OF this government In any event, il
means the beginning Of the end.
Spain has lost the first move, and in
this instance to lose the first move
means TO lose the game.

ATTEMPT on CARS LIFE.
Plot to Kill Russia's Royal Ruler
Unearthed,

A daring plot to assassinate the car of
Russia at Moscow last week has been dis
covered. The plan Of the conspirators
was to allow gas to escape in a house on
the route of the cars procession until the
atmosphere was saturated in IL room. One
of their number was TO remain in the
house and strike a light as the czar was
passing. 1t was anticipated that the
house would he blown to pieces
and the czar killed by falling stones
and tiles. The conspiratOr would
perish as a sacrifice to the cause. This
duty fell to tho lot of Alexander Kolanofr.
In :. his agitation Kolanoff made an
error, since the explosion took place when
a staff officer and his wife were driving
past the fateful house. They were killed
by falling fragments and their tcoachman
is not expected to recover. Some thirty
other persons we're more or less injured.
Kolanoff's mangled remains were found
among the ruins. Many arrests have been
made.

WAGE WAR ON THE NEGROES
whitecaps Driving Black Men from
Northern Texas Towns.

Whitecaps Driving Black Men from
Northern Texas Towns.
T%eNarkana, Ark, is in a state of alarm
over the large number of idle negroes
who tllrong the town, and the citizens are
organizing a vigilance committee for the
protection of their property.
The unusual influx of negroes recently
is due Ia the operation of bands of white
caps in Titus, Cass, Red River, Hopkins
and other counties, in the cotton district
of north Texas, whence bands of negroes
have flocked OH account of notices being
posted, and in some cases violence being
used to run them out. The people being
run out of the cotton fields have sought
refuge in the towns, aud TeXarkana has
been the refuge of q large number.
A trustworthy colored man from Titus
says that while a hume of his race were
at work in a field a mob of whitecaps COLI
lected in a fence corner and opened fire on
them. The negroes fled, leaving three Of
their number behind. wounded and per-
haps killed. They had been warned TO
leave the country and had paid no atten-
ton to the warning. Other similar incl
dents are reported by incoming negroes.

Four Killed aud "a Score Injured
Several Buildings Wrecked.

By tle explosion of forty gallons of gas
Oline in the cellar of Il grocery store at
l444 South Street, Philadelphia, Sunday
night, four and possibly Il dozen more
lives were lost. How the explosion &c.
Cured is yet unknown. The front of 1444
was Immediately blown out and this was
followed by the collapse of Nos. l442, oc-
cupied by Morris Goldbcr.'s furniture
store, and l446, Louis Sallonozes shoe
store. The west wall of l4ll, occupied by
l.. Wanger's clothing store, was blown
out. All tho buildings were brick,
three stories in height. in the con.
fusion and excitement following the
disaster it is as yet impossible TO secure
anything like an accurate census of the
occupants, but it is generally stated that
the upper floors were crowded with fami-
lies, huddled together tenement fashion.
Coming as it did at the supper hour, it
is feared the loss of life will lie heavy.
The list of injured will be long. They
were taken to all tile hospitals within "a
radius of a mile. Estimates of the num-.
BIER of missing vary from Is tO6.
