1t was impossible to learn how many
negroes had really been lynched. as nearly
all the colored population had eft the
leishborhood. Red River bottoms, where
most of the lynchines are said 60 have
occurred, was not visited, but four n gr4e
are known to have fallen victims to the
mlobs wrath. The few remaining negroes
in that part of the country travelled
through by the correspondent are still
in state of great excitement and fear
more trouble. They talk excitedly of the
occurrences of the past few days and
assert that dozen or more men have
been killed in the Red River bottoms,
mentioning names of negroes who lave
disappeared since the lynching of Duckett
to Substantiate their Statment. Wagon
loads of black arrived in TeXarkana to-
day from Little River county.
Three more dead negroes have been
found in Red River bottoms near Rocky
Comfort Ark. Two of them, Joe King
and Moses Jones. were hanged and shot
to death. The third body was stripped en-
tirely naked when found.
a justice of the peace held an inquest
over these bodies today and a verdict
was rendered by the jury declaring that
the men came to their deaths from
natural causes or were frozen to death.
The verdict is regarded as gruesome
joke. There is some doubt as to where
these lynchings occurred, it being near
the state line and was either in Little
River county, Arkansas, or in Bowie
county Texas. The inquest was held Ivy

Joe King is one of the negroes vino Was
whipped by a crowd of whites Wednes-
day near Comfort. Just after the
lynching of Duckett constable went to
King and told him that Duckelt had
been lynched for the assassination of
Farmer Stockton. King replied that he
knew all about the Stockton killing and
said that the farmer ought to have been
killed sooner and also intimated that
others would be killed before the matter
was settled. A crowd of indignant whites
had him in charge and took him 10 the
woods where he was thoroughly whipped
and released. It is not known where or by
| whom he afterwards was strung up. but
he no doubt fell into the hands of one of
the lynching parties that were organized
after the plots of the negroes to start
a race war was unearthed.
Afterward Johnson was whipped by the
same crowd who took King in hand. and

a weekly newspaper ten consecutive in
sertions are necessary. Uuder this rule.
the tent1 insertion always occurs on the
sixtv-fourth day, which is after the X
piration of the period required. In the
decision rendered today, the secretary
holds that the time fixed by the statutes
for publication and for the fling of al
verse claims is sixty days. and that the
existing regulation undertakes to enlarge
this period and is for that reason incon-
SiStent with the statutes and of no effect.
In effect it is said that the land depart
ment cannot by regulation change the
statutes. The secretary therefore approves
the publication in this case, which in
Guided nine insertions in a weekly news

In another case, the secretary holds to-
day that an adverse claim filed after the
publication has been running for sixty
days cannot be recognized, even though
it was fled before the tenth insertion in
a weekly newspaper. The two cases were

that he is not legal resident thereof, un-

San Francisco, March 24.-The As
ISOLATED Press has received the follow
ing correspondence from Manila, dated
Feb. 81:
The American troops are anXiously
awaiting the arrival of the six regi-
ments of reinforcements now on the
way to Manila. Until that time viii
come there will probably be no very
decided movement of the American sol
diers. as the long line that has to be
maintained is too thin to permit of ser
ious offensive operations against the
Filipinos When the American rein
forcements do arrive, it is expected that
short work viii be made Of ASuinaldo' S
men.
Full details have been received Of the
outbreak of the night of Feb. 4. For
the past two months the First Ne
braska has been camped at Santa Masa,
which was practically on the firing line.
The sentinels of the insurgents near
the Nebraska outDosts were very close
at several places, and for several nights
previous to the first firing an insurgent
lieutenant had caused trouble near out
post No by attempting to post his
sentinels within the Nebraska lines.

SENATOR sHoUP RETURNS.
Says Idaho Soldiers Are Making
History at Manila
Especial 10 The Herald.1


Boise. Ida. March Ex-senator Shoup
has returned from Washington. The
senator feels the greatest pride IN the
record being made by the Idaho boys
at Manila. "They are making history,
those brave lads of Idaho, he sald,
land they will make more Of 1t IL they
are given the opportunity" The sena-
tor called to mind the applications thaI
were made at one time to have tne
Idahos, who We're sickened OF barracks
duty, sent home. At that time ne de-
clined to endorse the application he
felt that an opportunity would present
itself for the Idaho boys to win tame
on the field of battle.
Had they come home then" he said,
"the historian would have little to say
of Idaho when he came to writing the
story of the war in the Philippines.
Now he can tell of glorious achieve
ments of the boys from our state.
While my heart is sad at the thought
of the loss we have sustained, still
feel that the people of the state as a
whole would rather the boys had re-
manned than to have come home be-
fore being given an opportunity to give
their country real success. leaving
others to fight the battles they should
have fought.
az believe now, however, that they
should be sent home as soon as posi-
BILE and to that end I have labored to
secure regulars to take their places.
They have fought the good fight, they
have done their duty and they are now
entitled to be relieved"
Speaking of the Fort Hall treaty,
Senator Shoup said it was impossible
to get it through the house. The fight
for the treaty, he says, will be renewed
at the next session.

vate. The insurgents returned the fire
and retreated.
The battle really began when Ser
geant O. A Curtis ordered his men to
fire upon a large body of Insurgents
who were attempting to cross the river
opposite his post. Sergeant Curtis was
wounded and compelled to retire When
the battle began the insurgents seemed
to be ready, and the Nebraska regi-
ment was made the center Of their at
tack. The American soldiers, however,
stood them off and positions were held
firmly all along the line. AT daylight
companies L, NJ and c, led by CAPTAIN
Hollingsworth, advanced to drive back
the insurgents who had effected a
crossing further uD the river and had
gained a position on the left flank from
which they poured terrific fire on the
advancing line. Notwithstanding the
fact that they had to advance a GUAR
ter of mile in plain view Of the enemy,
the Nebrasl1ans drove the insurgents
back to their boat and across the river.
UTAH BATTERY'S WORK.
The Utah battery, acting in conjunc-
ton with the Nebraska trooos, did
great service. The insurgents retreat
ed hastily, leaving seventy-nine dead
comrades behind a stone wall. 1t was
here that f. G. Edlund of company B
was killed and Fred Kuhn of company
wounded. A Mauser bullet passed
through Captain Hollingsworth's hat
The insurgents are using brass-coated
bullets, which inflict shocking wounds.

and in some unaccountable way stepped
into the open shaft on the west side.
George Gillespie, Micky Sullivan and
Schaper's partner, a man by name OF
Barney, were at the station at the time
of the accident, and, with assistance,
took the body to the surface, where an
inquest was being held before Justice of
the peace Freckleton, with II. B. Ben
ton, Frank Newton and ]. H. McGann
as jurors.
Mr.. Schaper was So years old, married
and the father of two children. He was
a member of the city council, and had
a large circle of friends. He had been
employed at the mine for almost three
years, and was thoroughly familiar
with the workings, which makes the
accident which resulted in his death
hard to understand.
The jury, after thoroughly investigat-
ing the affair, returned verdict to the
effect that the deceased came to his
death through falling down the Key
stone shaft, having carelessly neglected
to obey the orders of the company.
