all armed. and were fired upon. Mr..
Potter, a we'll known man, was killed,

AdmiraI sampson's Official Report
Made Public.

WASHINGTON, Oct. q. - Advance
proofs of Rear Admiral Sampson's re-
port OF the operations Of the fleet under
his command, ending with The dsstruc-
ton Of the Spanish squadron under Ad-
miral Cervera, have just been made
public by the navy department. The
chief interest of the report is the light
It throws on the efforts made to inter-
cent Cervera and to bottle him up in
Santiago harbor 1t is very evident
from the text of many official dispatch
es exchanged between the navy depart
ment. Admiral Sampson ard Admiral
(then Commodore) Schley that Sch.ey's
intention TO follow his own misplaced
judgment and not that OF the depart
ment and Sampson as to the location of
Cervera's ships might have resulted In
the escape of the Spanish squadron
from Santiago before any American
vessels reached there. 1t has been pret-
ty generally known IN naval circles that
an error that might have had farreach-
ing consequences to the United states
and possibly have J. q onged the war
was narrowly averted in the operations
to oVertake or determine the location Of
Cervera's squadron.
The report shows that Schiey remain
ed off Cienfuegos. believing Cervera's
ships to be in that harbor, although In
formed that they were at Santiago, and
that he did not sail for Santiago until
he had received a second peremptory
order to do so. Then he wanted TO go
somewhere to coal, but was ordered TO
remain on blockade at all hazards.
There have been statements in the
newspapers, and notably in Harper
Weekly, as far back as August last
that Schley's conduct at the time the
energies of the government were de-
voted to ascertaining the movements OF
position Of Cervera was not altogether
creditable to his professional standing
1t has been limited that the navy de.
partment had documentary evidence tC
confirm this understanding and that Il
would be sent to congress in December
Be this as It may, Admiral Sampson il
his report does not utter one word OF
censure or criticism Of the action o
Commodore Schley. He does. however
include the text Of nearly every ofTicla
communication exchanged in regard L
Cervera's vessels, and these tell th
: story Of the unremtting efforts mad
by the navy department and the nortl
= Atlantic naval force to locate and cap
ture or destroy the Spanish armorclad
and torpedo boat destroyers under Ger
4 vera's command.

WILMINGTON, n. c.. oct. PA spe-
cial to The Star from Lumberton says:
"At o'clock yesterday morning a
squad of the negroes who We're dis
persed at Ashpole, Robinson county,
crept up TO town and shot three whites
stationed there as a guard They were
Albert Floyd. Robert Inman and VIII
liam Bullard. Bullard is seriously
wounded, the others slightly. A hun
dred whites. with bloodhounds, are now
in pursuit, and it is said four of the ne
groes have been caught"
There is great excitement at all points
in the state in telegraphic communities
tion with Lumberton. The whites are
telegraphing the principal towns in the
state for Winchester rifles to be sent
there Immediately.
-Four negroes have been captured neal
Ashpole. They were run down anC
brought to bay by the bloodhounds
which are thoroughly trained. The ne
groes are now confined in box cars a
Ashpole and heavily guarded.
1t is uncertain yet what the fate o
the negroes will be, but it is feared tina
their cowardly attempt to assassinat
the guards will so exasperate the white
as to cause further and more seriou
trouble. The guard was composed o
eight or ten men, who were standing
around the fire in the open air, thus be
coming easy targets for the negroes
who fired on them under cover of dark
ness and then fed.
The Ashpole incident has increase
the excitement at Wilmington, whic
was already near the danger line
Groups Of white men have been on tn
