THREE NEGROES LYNCHED.
They Were Charged With Shooting Two
White Men.

White Men.
Jackson, Miss, March 23.-Three ne
groes were lynched by mob near Sill
yer City, in YaZoo county last Satur-
day morning. After being shot to
death the bodies OF the victims were
weighted with bundles of cotton bale
ties and trown into the YazoO river.
The negroes were Minor Wilson, G. S.
Reed and Willis Boyd. They were the
ringleaders Of the negroes in race en-
counter on the Midnight plantation
early last week. They were arrested
and taken to Yazoo City Jail. The Of
tense with which they were charged
having been committed in Sharkey
county, the Sharkey authorities were
notified. Last Friday evening Deputy
Constable Sylvester arrived and the
prisoners were turned over to him. The
constable boarded the steamer Rescue,
with the negroes, Saturday morning,
and reached Silver City with them.
The negroes fell into the hands of the
mob near Silver City, were shot to
death and thrown into the river. The
feeling against these negroes had been
very bitter on account of a disturb
ance at the Midnight plantation last
week. in which they, with two other
comrades, had fired upon two whites
on the public road. A horse belonging
to one of the white men was wounded,
but the men were not harmed.

NINETEEN DEAD
And Thirty-Four Missing Was the Record

And Thirty-Four Missing Was the Record
of the Windsor Hotel Fire Last Night.
New York, March 23.-Nineteen dead
and thirtyfour missing is the record so
far of the Windsor Hotel fire. One
more body was found to-day. This
brings the list Of unknown dead to nine.
The fragments were dug up about twen-
ty feet west of the annex, on the Forty
seenth street side, in a part of the ruins
where no other bodies or bones have
been found. The remains consist SIM
ply of portion of a spinal column with
some of the ribs attached, piece OF
the skull and some small bones and
charred flesh. The remains were taken
to the morgue and numbered Body No.
g. Identlncation in this case, as in
the large majority Of the other bodies
at the morgue, will be impossible. 1t
is not likely that any of the bodies yec
to be found will be recognizable.
The work of clearing away the de-
bris proceeds slowly. The great mound
of debris on Fifth avenue seems to
grow larger each day, though it was
said to-day that fifty cars were engaged
in hauling it away.
Many persons called at the morgue
and the East Fifty-first street station
to-day, the former in the hope of ident-
flying some of the bodies, and the lat
ter, mostly women, to claim lost ar
ticles to preserve as keepsakes. The
search continues to reveal small articles
OF personal property.
At 7 o'clock tonight charred hui
man foot was found near the elevator
shaft. 1t was sent to the morgue I'M
marked.
Abner Mckinley and Col. w. c,
Brown called at the East Flfty-hrsl
street police station last evening and
claimed a package of papers bearing
Col. Browns name. These papers were
important legal papers in the posses
sion of Mr.. Mckinley at the time OF
the fire. They were forwarded tonight
to Fostoria, O., by special messenger.
Shortly before IL o'clock tonight
workmen found on the Forty-siXth
street side of the ruins a bundle of let
ters addressed to "Abner Mckinley
the remains of a dress suit, dress suit
case and half-burned satchel. Some
small bones which appeared to be the
bones of human forearm, were found
nearby.

morning two charred bones were found
near where the human foot was found
earlier in the evening. They are
thought to be part Of the same body.

officers serving with troops in the
Philippines show that Aguinaldo's ar
my is using brass-tipped bullets.
Several American soldiers have been
wounded by the poisonous projectiles
and in consequence the wounds are
more difficult to heal than those caused
by the ordinary bullet. Of course the
authorities can do nothing to prevent
the insurgents using any kind of bull
lets they see fit. They have no gov
eminent to which an appeal can be
made. Their action in this respect,
officials say. is another indication of
their utter unftness for self-govern-
