KILLED AT DALLAS.
Serious Race Riot Results In Three
Deaths.


Deaths
Dallas. Texas. Dec. "a crowd of
several thousand whites and blacks
gathered by the burning of n saloon
building became involved in n race riot
this evening. and when the battle was
ended two persons had been killed. five
were seriously wounded, and dozen
others slightly injured.
In addition. one man fell dead on the
sidewalk during the fire. and Il woman
was fatally injured in jumping from
n window of the burning building.
The dead:
Felix II. Mallory, fell dead ON the
sidewalk.
Oscar White. negro. killed in riot.
Frank Holland. negro, killed i'll riot.
The seriously wounded:
Harry Burton, ncgres,, jumped from
window.
John Franks.
C. w ludlow.
William Debruin.
james Dove.
A. c. Carr. negro: injured in riot.
The presence of large force of po-
lice prevented a more deadly conflict.
Just how the riot started seems i'm
possible to determine. 1t came on sud
denly between Franks. ludlow and
Dcbruin. white men, on one side, and
about II dozen negroes on the other. In
n moment White was dead. his neck
broken and his skull crushed with Il
heavy piece of iron pipe, Holland was
stabbed five times and was dead an
hour after the conflict.
Franks. Holland and Debruin were
all stabbed and bruised and are in the
hospital department Of the county Jail
Carr and Dove are seriously stabbed
and bruised and are also under arrest.
1t is remarkable that so few deaths
and casualties occurred, as fully 800
whites and blacks We're battling fur
iously for fully fifteen minutes, using
knives, pistols, clubs and other weap-
ons.

guard American interests in the city
OF Iloilo. on the island Of Panay. one
of the Philippine archipelago, and
military and naval expedition Is now
on It's way there from Manila.
Gable advices Were received here to-
day from General Otis. commanding
the military forces in the Philippines.
and Admiral Dewey. commanding the
naval forces there. showing that they
are acting in concert in the matter
General Otis reported that he had
dispatched two regiments and n bat
terry of artillery to Ilolo on army trans
ports, and Admiral Dewey notified the
Navy department that the cruiser Bal
timore had sailed from Manila for the
same place.
1t Is explained that these officers are
acting upon their own discretion In the
matter and that no official adyices
have been received here TO indicate
that there is any unusual lawlcssness
in Iloilo.
Several days ago it was reported by
way of Madrid that the Spanish forces
in Iloilo had been attacked by the in
surgents and had driven them back
with heavy losses. but this report lacks
official confirmation. The United States
expedition is more in the nature of 4
precaution. but will take active meas
ures for the suppression of lawlessness

Denver. Dec. pa special from
Washington. to the News. says:
The secretary of war has cabled
General Otis TO send troops to seize
and occupy Iloilo. This action was
taken after Il conference with the
President.
Iloilo is the scene of the butchery of
numbers of practically unarmed Flip
pinos by Spanish regulars. rs told in
the Journals special cable today from
Madrid, which was printed in The
News.
The war department processes TO
have no official confirmation of the
story. but the troops have been order
ed to proceed at once to Iloilo, where it
is known there has been bloody skir-
mishing for the past three weeks.
b Secretary Alger declined to state
how many troops have been ordered to
go. There are four or more trans
ports at Manila, each capable of car
rying at least 600 troops. 1t is the
understanding that the troops would
move at the first opportunity after the
receipt of the orders cabled this after
noon.
The transports can reach Iloilo from
Manila in thirty-six hours. On the ar
rival of the Americans the Spaniards
are expected to surrender the post as
was done at Manila.
1t is believed that the outrages re
ported TO day unquestionably led to
this prompt action of the secretary of
war. as it was the intention of the
war department to send no troops to
places other than Manila until after
the confirmation by the Senate of the
treaty of Paris. The occupation of
all the Philippine posts will follow in
rapid succession, which occupation
alone can prevent n recurrence of the
slaughter at lloilo. II was thought
until to-day. that the policing of the
harbors would have been sufficient un-
til the islands would pass under the
treaty.

AGAINST A RAISE.
Fall River Manufacturers Say situa-
ton Does Not Warrant IL.

Fall River. Mass, November 3.-The
cotton manufacturer association Iaie
this afternoon voted not to grant the re-
quest of the operatives that wages be in
creased.
1t IL stated, however. that In the future,
should the margin of profit warrant an
increase may be made.
The decision Of the membsrs was given
out as practically . unapimous one, but
the wnols matter was thoroughly dis
cussed before q final decision was reached.
The manufacturers, at the conclusion Of
the meeting, gave out the following vote
which was passed just teftrs It's con-
clusion:
Votsd That 1T 10 the sense Of the meet
Ing that ar advance Of wages at this time
Is insx pcdient In Sisw OF the fact that the
margin between the cost OF print cloths Is
TO more than it was when the advance OF
10 l-2 per cent of April last was made and
the present scale OF wages adopted.
should business improve, 80 that the
margin OF profit will warrant 1t, an ad-
vance of wages will be made. but we be-
lleve that any advance at the present time
would be premature.
The special COMMITTEES which met the
Textile council In conference was also
given power to prepare sliaing scale sf
wages. An attempt had previously been
made to establish such system. but this
committee having the matter In charge
failed to report.
The general feeling among the opera
tives was one Of disappointment In the
announcement, hut some OF them looked
upon the implied promise of an increase
later as hopeful sign. These mill work
ers. however. have the utmost faith in
their leaders and most OF them are conf
dent that they will ultimately gain the
increase asked for.
